A few days since cotton at this point went to 10, cents and there, were some that said it would not remain so -high but a drop might be expected bujt others held a very different view and these who were so firmly of the opin ion that it was going still higher were, persons who pay quite a good deal of attention to the market and reports. vThe man who predicted that it would fall struck it right for a day or two but yesterday it made another advance and went even higher than was reach ed about a. week ago. The spot mar ket in New York was reported at XIAO "u ia -cNortouc at 1 lift. Suchl jprices j are calculated to make, tho farmers who disposed of their crop at 10 cents feel rather blue and from what can be learned there were quite a number wo sold their cottbn at this iigure. Twelve cent cotton is tnow be mg talked on all sides and j from ; the way the price of the fleecy staple has been jumping forthe past few days it will not take long to reach 12 cents. is not Known yet what effect the Iresent cold wave will have I upon the icrop if any. A storm at th6' presnt for there is any quantity of cotton in. ;th fields and it is said that it is very hard to get pickers. Prices paid foi; picking cotton this fair are considera Wy higher than usual but the higher wages does not have much (effect on making the negro work when he does not care to do so. A few days ago, a man was in this city from another, section of the state when the servant problem was mentiohd land he re marked that he supposed that quite a large number of the negroes I had gone to the country to pick cotton. Hswas told that he haM sized up ithe town negro, or at least the great majority of them, wrong, that they were not willing to da the work to be had in the city not to speak of going to a farm to get work and that when once a negro got in town ho matter how good a' farm hand he micht that j no offer was alluring enough to malce ! ' . - - : it '! j mm retrace his steps. For the. past few years farmers have had the great est trouble to get cotton picked and it continues to get worse, i T j Cause Unknown. The cause of , the explosion is un known. It took, place under the Long Island railroad station tn a lock at the end of one. of the four tubes which Are being dug to connect with tubes running under the East ! river to Man, hattan island to connect with sub ways; leading to the proposed Pennsyl vania railroad station. : There were twenty men at work in the lock.v; Three, of them were render ed insensible, either by the-concussion or tne smoke of a fire which followed. tunnel more than imrty men; were at work. Wood work supporting the tunnel caught fire; instantly and great clouds of choking smoke poured into all parts or tne tunnel. j Va., Oct. 12.If such a plan t were feasible Norfolk's house wives would organize into a union.
