They ore being set In new pineries as fast as produced. Ae a rule the young plants are well grown, healthy and vigorous, ar.d there is no good rea son why they should not make e rapid growth from the start. In spite of the enormous production, there is a strong de mand for oil of the plants that con be produced. A few ore being shipped to other points to fill orders, but most of them are taken by Orlando persons who have been waiting for months for plants for new pineries or to reset old one*. The acreage planted in pineapples in the Or lando vicinity will be more than doubled by the end of August. Growers and planters are busy and hardly take time to sleep.

Between fifteen and twenty thousand bushels of wheat and oats have been garnered and threshed. The grain was damaged to some extent by the rains in June, but notwithstanding this and the poor corn crop of last year, the farmers are well supplied with stock food for months to come, and the wheat mills are running on full time and turning out a fine article of home-made flour.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. New York, July 10.— Jim Wakely lost $20,000 to Tom Powers and Tim Kenney at a single forty-hour seance with cards last week, and Tom and Tim went around and passed two SI,OOO notes over Jim s bar for a quart of “Polly water.” Such were the words whispered In the ears of every sporting man in the Ten derloin to-day, and they conveyed nothing more nor less than the truth. There were forty heure of nerve-racking play, broken only by brief stoppages for meals. At the end of that time Wakely, hag gard, pale, but calm, informed Mr. Pow ers that he “guessed he wouldn’t try to force his luck.” Mr. Powers removed the shade from his eyes and “allowed that he could stand h Ibtle sleep hiniFe-lf.” Wakeley passed a roll of greenbacks and Inquired only, “How much am 1 shy?” Powers counted them and looked at a tab on the table. “Only about $19,000,” he said. “Come around to my place and I will hand it over to you.” W akeley is said to have re plied. Powers and his partner, Tim Ken ney, agreed, and. later, in the back room of his hotel, he handed over the $19,000. Kenney pocketed the money, saying: “Thanks. Let’s have a drink." Wakely didn’t want to drink, and said so. “Never mind; give me a pint of appoiin aris,” said Kenney. The bartender obeyed. “Give us another,” commanded Powers. “We’ll split it.” The bottle was placed on the bar. Kenney pulled t a biown-backed bill and tossed it on the counter. “Keep the change,” he said, and with n brief “Good morning,” to Wakely, passed out. Pow ers also threw' a crumpled note on the bar. “Put it in the. drawer, Jim.” he said. “There aren’t many left like you.” Each of those bills was of SI,OOO denomi nation. Tell* How It IVn* Done. “Yes, it is true enougbl did lose $20,000 at poker." said Wakely to-day. “To be exact, the figures were $30,600. The game ran nearly three days, with brief stops for meals. It isn’t hard to lose $20,4)00 in a game of poker if you stick at it long enough. And it isn’t so hard to lose to such good follows as Tom Powers end Tim Kenney. I was in the game to win, but luck was against me. Along ; bout midnight I looked at my hand and saw four diamonds, all g<x*l ones—three, four, five and six spots. It’s a good chance I said to myself, and I played It. Tim was dealing, arid I was sitting next. The next time J looked after my one-card draw the eight of clubs had taken the place of # the queen of hearts. If it had only been the seven 1 might have won the pol, hut so far as I know the sevens and the deuces were not in the deck. “There was a thousand went on that hand, but that was nothing to the next one. I ain’t much of a bluffer, but I tried it. Torn Powers whs betting then) strong, and Tim Kenney was seeing to it that I got whipsttwed. I don’t know Just ex actly why, but before I knew i I was nothing loss than $3,000 to the bad and the post wasn’t as full as it got to be before 1 finally called. Tim hod an ace full on queens and Tom three kings. The best I could show was the deuce and four of spados, seven and jack of hearts and ten of diamonds. As we weren't playing ca sino I was out of It. Another time 1 had all of them from otic to four, but the five was missing. Then I got four black —clubs und I tried to pull another from the deck. It wasn’t any use. “In the end I quit $20,600 behind the rear end of the procession, but so long as Tim and Tom cot it it's all right. They blow a thousand each for a pint bottle of apol linarie* In my bar after it was all over. They arc the right sort.” —Something to Be Proud Of—“ Well,” proudly remarked the chief of the Ho boken fire department os he wipe*l the grime from his brow, “at least we saved the river!”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Morning News Office, July 13.—The turn of the u.;*:k ts during the past week has been gratifying to commercial interests generally. Notwithstanding ihe bearish croji news which has come out prominent ly n the cotton market price? have not oily been wtll maintained, but advances have been see reel. The n ival stores mar ket has hern in very strong position, the closing to-day showing decided improve ment on the prevailing prices l ist Friday. While trading is reported to have been draggy cn the b*g exchanges, it is never theless true that gieat interest has been attracted to the cct on ma ket. Much de pends just now on the condition of the crop, and th? varying opinions as to the damage it suffered dur.ng the recent wet weather do not adm.r of forming any thing like an accura e size-up of the sit uation. It is generally admitted there has been considerable damage to the crop, hut there are not many inclined to at aeh too much weight to th's. The we k closes wi h seme giins. To day the market went off from 2 to 14 points, with the tone quiet. W ith the local trade very little is doing in cotton. There is a fair f o. b. busi ness doirg, however, wTth interior mils disp sing of their surplus stock*. Most of the receipts at the ports just now is interior cotton for Liverpool, ancl that which is being shipped by m:ll men. The improvement in the naval stores market h re ar.d elsewhere has been gen erally interesting to the trade, who take a favorable view of the cutlcok for fur ther improvement the coming week. Spir its turpentine was in gcod demand, with the t* ndency decidedly upward, and the price showing a good ga n over that on last Friday. Ti e higher grades of rosin, including pales, showed much strength, and closed at an advance over the pre vious week. There was a dispositi n during the early days of the week on the part of buyers to hammer the market, but they tvfnt at it in a way tha* disclosed their secrets to factors. A number of buyers filed bids cn last Friday and Monday a quarter of ? cent below the market, and the fart there were a number of bids indicated to factors that a strong demand prevai’ed, and that they had as well get the benefit of it a l * the buyers. Factors accordingly used the r stuff in making deliveries, rather than part with it on a lower basis than th* market, and in this way they sue ceded in keepirg the price up without hurting themselves in any way. Monday afternoon buyers entered at 43*4 cents, the market trice, the closing sales being 400 casks. From then on moderate tiadlpg followed on this basis. Wednesday's clos ing foul and the price up o .3%, and Thurs day’s closing at 4.VY The demand is st 11 good .and the outlook for a maintenance of present values, if not further advances. The closing to-day was 44 cents. The rosin market was in strong posi t on all wiek. and does not show evi dences of weakening at the closing. On Wednesday there was an advance of 5 gents on j ales, and on Thursday M went up .7 cents. There was a fair demand for stuff for export. Fiom the accounts facto:s have from farms. Iho conditions are anything hut encouraging for any immediate increase in the receipts. A gemral drawback seems t> have come ti bus ne-ss, and as a reside opeiat rs are finding it bard *o keep farm woik moving along as they would like to These reperrs are having a very pro nounced effect on the market, and are a factor in carrying price- upward.

New York, July 13.—Conditions preva lent at the Cotton Exchange to-day were not altogether satisfactory, for while prices early advanced the volume of trade was small and there was a decided lack of outside speculative interest. At the opening there was an advance of 47710 points. The gain was brought about by several Influences, including a better class of cable news and much less pro pitious crop condiiions. The weather map ; Wfis particularly poor regarding the situ ation in the eastern section of Texas and also in the Lower Mississippi valley. The local contingent, however, was disposed to turn a. deaf ear to bullish crop gos sip in view of the lethargy of public speculation. As the session advanced trade became dull, but in the late after noon prices eased under local pressure. The market was finally quiet at a net decline of 2<gl4 points. FLUCI.t ATIOXS IX COTTOX.

New York, July 13.—Murphy & Cos. say; Cotton closed in Liverpool, 4-64 to 5-6ld dearer on old, and l-6t to 2-64d up for new crop deliveries, but very few orders were sent from that side to this metket to-day. The bullish tenor of Liverpool was offset by favorable weather conditions over the belt, and this market ruled since noon, about 1 to 3 points higher for new crop deliveries. Present prices for winter months are regarded as reasonable if the crop conditions do not continue improv ing, as of late, hence operators are watt ing developments, and the trading to-day has been mostly between local scalpers. Traders generally look for higher prices for fall months, if the New Orleans cor ner or manipulation continues through July and August. New York. July 13.—Hubbard Bros. ,v Cos. soy: While Liverpool continues lo move sharply up and down on the. local condition there, the strong statistical po sition does not attract any renewal of the speculation in our market. In fact, the market is quieter than it has been at onv time this season, a conditon which may mean activity In the near future. Crop accounts show- an improvement in Mis sissippi Valley, while local showers ore reported In many sections of Texas and the South Atlantic states. Another new hole ie reported at Austin yesterday after noon. Receipts at the ports represent shipments from the interior towns to Liv erpool, or from those Southern mills, which, holding surplus stocks, are dispos ing of them because of the dullness of trade. niti goods. New York, July 13.—N0 change in the market for cotton goods. Demand up to previous days of the week and general tone of market steady. Print cloths firm. Linens dull, but generally steady. Bur laps firm and slightly dearer for Calcut tas. Dundees neglected. THE RICE MARKET. Advices from the South are of former tenor in the rice market. Along the At lantic coast it can scarcely be said that there is any regular first hands market. Four days out of ihe six there are no trartsacHons; lots are small, mainly held at outside figures, and only as prices are modified is there any business. In Louisi ana everything is being put on a mid-sum mer basis; mills have made final runs, even milling out seed reserves. Rarely, if ever, has the market been so nearly cleaned up as this year. The new crop will start on bare floors and its volume and quality will be a matter of supreme Interest for the next ninety days. Cables and correspondence from abroad note but little change. It is an ''off year" in rice; Ihe full prices demanded are not conducive to extensive trading and at the same time shortened receipts have made operators shy about pushing forward busi ness.

New York, July 13.-To-days sto-fc market was but a dull and unimereTq affair and marked the further relapse f ro * the manipulated rise of the earlier paj! of the week which came into evider.c yesterday. Selling to take profits was th order of the day end the bears put some fresh short lines. That neither of these operations wa S0( . a very extensive scale is sufficiently sho* by the small figure of the total sa>< the day and the greater part of even tvJ small dealings took place in the for- -00? when the bull Interests were still mak'n’ futile efforts to continue the advance The efforts were not put forth in the *>.*„ ing transactions and the sympathetic a. pression from foreign markets n.-,* lowed its full effect. The weakness th-r. was due to renewed fears regarding tb Chinese situation and to the mishap to-he British forces in South Africa. The effect here was purely sympathetic, and when it was seen how small the selling for Loti don account was. the bulls braced their energies and attempted to resume control of thf* market. The pressure of profit-taking, which met the advance when last night's level prk'os was opproached, discouraged t h at tempt and the market was allowed to lapse into an almost lifeless state. Th* sharp break in the wheat market, which might be fairly construed as Indicating more hopeful feeling regarding the 0-00 was powerless to sustain the stock mar ket. Small as the offerings were fry were sufficient to drive prices sharply he low last night's level. The grangers, Southwesters and some of the Southern Railroad stocks were most notably effect, ed, but there were examples of weakness all through the list, both of railroads and specialties. The steel stocks became p*. tably weak late in the day on a growing apprehension that the general reaction in business will curtail the consumptive re quirements for iron and steel, whatev* the ultimate basis of prices may he A further advance in the sterling ex change rate, the hardening of the London discount rate and the continued drain on the gold reeejves of the Bank of Eng land led to the opinion among interna tional exchange houses that further ship, ments of gold from New York to Parts are likely to be made next week. Esti mates of to-morrow's bank statement are rather tentative in view of the discrep. aney last week between the preliminary indications and the actual results. Th* benks s t emed to have gained over a m 1 :o* dollars in the sub-treasury during the week and the movement of currency from the interior, though considerably reduced, is still in their favor. Call loans fell to 1 per cent, this afternoon ar.d the prob ability is in favor of an Increase in sur plus reserves. The bond market continued dull and the changes were mixed.
