' The court was in session for nearly three hours and the crowd of prisoners would have done credit to the day after Christmas court. Martha!

A Big Blaze at Southern's Passenger Station. t This morning -at 2:30 fire hrntp nut in a baggage and mail car enmhinpfl The, department was summoned and arrived upon the scene in a very few minutes. It took about thirtv minutes to put out the blaze so much head way had it made before it was dis covered. When at last the flames had been enxtinguished, only the hull of the car remained. All of the inside of the baggage part of the car was a wreck, though the mail room suffered little damage. The loss Is estimated at about $500 arid the car will have to be reouut. entirely.'- ; Fortunately there was tin mail nnr baggage in the coach at the time. The car which came in on No. 28 last night had been unloaded of all of the bag gage and mail several hours before and had 'been locked up and left on the track a good ways from any other cars. It Is thought that the fire started from some lanterns which had been uk&ft nn the run but there can be no .certainty aDout it.

Lee & Co. say: ' " ; ; ' - v ' VV: - : ' ; - There is evidently something going on fn the New York market. New York is now leading Liverpool, New -Orleans and all the others. . This is due to the shifting of interest to this city. As we said last week, the largest spot, house in the country is evidently aiming at a control of spot cotton here arid through the purchase- of May. This long interest is intact and can make trouble. It is 'evidently -the intention ,to force the price just as high as it will go and hedge in July as May ad vances. : This will place the holders of 'the New York stock in good condition. With the small supply of cotton in every direction, some sort of protection is necessary for: dealers. Some firms were compelled to uncover their hedge cotton and they are now trying to put up prices in order' to replace these hedges at. higher figuresy This seems to us to be but a natural explanation of the present advances. . The New York people are now on top" and it Is to be feared they will carry the advance to the inflation point just as New Orleans did. It will require, a further rise ' to bring in all shorts'and make the situa tion dangerous again.- Below 14 cents there is a demand for actual cotton,. At 15 cents and over we do not want to buy cotton. - The situation is not i as healthy as it was. . ,. . ., Futures closed barely steady " - High Low Close Feb . ,v 14 10 15 eh 14 50 13 87 14 25 28 April ..,'....,;;..-. 1 44 48 May . 14 8 14 20 14 60-81 June 14 47 14 21 14 50-52 uly 14 81 14 21 14 48 50 A'ug 14 26 13 75 14 02-04 ep. ;... , 18 65 J2 4Q IS 52-55 Oct 11 80 11 50 11 75-76 Nov .... .... 11 54 11 40 11 48-50 Dec , 11 49 11 28 1143-45 Spots, quiet; middling, 14 10 New Or'eans spots, 14c; .firm CHARLOTTE COTTON MARKET.: (Corrected by Heath-Reid Jobbing and - Commission Co.)
