From Ptaatations. Special to Journal.- . New York. May 14. A strong and advancing cotton market' has, today been met by heavy sales, on the part of those who had the foresight ; to grasp the possibilities of the ' sltua- . . ... .; . ; tion, when prices were lower,, and who, with the fatuity of the ordinary speculator are . content . to realize small profits out of a situation , that promises enormous possibilities. As I said yesterday, JU .believe the ad vance In the cotton market has only commenced, and before many days J2 cents, will seem as cheap for cotton, as 10 cents did yesterday. We know In part, and we prophesy vwtth un abated confidence, the- probability of the greatest convulsion' In the value of cotton, that haa been seen since 1903., In the period, which-has elapsed the World has enormously increased in wealtbr-and in Its textile require ments. It Is generally recognised that eotton fabrics are the cheapest form of cloth, that society haa as yet discovered, and the uses for cotton cloth are continually increasing. Aa a signal Instance of thia fact. I .may mention that I am reliably informed, that cotton. .duck used in connection with . the manufacture' of automo bile tires during the present year, will be the equivalent 5t over 3,000, 000 bales of cotton. ,: r " V . There is a movement on foot among the planters of the south, to substi tute for the jute bagging previously used In baling Cotton,, a cotton bag ging piade of low grade- cotton. If this plan is realised, Jt will Increase the consumption-of cotton fully 'a mil lion bales. ; In regard , to the next crop, I cannot do better -than quote the followtog letter Xhla morning re ceived from a very conservative mem ber etjthe New Yor .Cotton jSx change.

Many 1 Strange Inci dents. Yesterday morning at 7 minutes past S o'clock the people ef this en tire region were startled by a terrific explosion. As in all such cases there was a general rush to the street and speculation centred In the suptosed collapse Of the boilers at oe of the saw mills. The crowd gravitated to the county bridge where It became known that a dynamite explosion had taken plate. Slowly the tacts developed and showed that the accident, while It was not so bad In Its results aa It might have been, it was quite de structive and not devoid of singular incidents. It appears that two young white men George McGehee, of Knox ville, Tenn., and Watson Fanning of Calley, S. C, -employed by the Postal Telegraph Co.,' as linemen between New Bern and Washington were out practicing with a . revolver. One of them who Is a crack shot exclaimed watch me aend a bullet through the knot in that building." He did It and thereby hangs the tale. , Unknown to the men, the building contained 1,600 pounds of dynamite stored there by the White Construc tion Co., and used to blast stumps, etc., In clearing the right of way for the Raleigh ft Pamlico Sound rail way. . The Impact pf the bullet caused the explosion. All that remains ot the place la a hole five feet deep and 20 to 25 feet across. There was net a fragment of the building as large as a man's hand and the trees, or rather Jhe smaller trees in the vicinity were snapped In two or deprived of .their branches as clean as If a knife or saw Was used In the Operation. Even the track ofctne railroad was slewed out ,of place several inches. The moat singular feature of the accident was that the men who caused the explosion although within 60 feet were not killed and although terri- bry .braised by bits .of flying boards and scantling and blown several rods, their bodies stuck full of splinters they may recover. " McGehee was put on a hand car and was brought to tbe city and takeq.to Dr. Caton's office where a close examination waa made of bis: inJurlei.-.He -was . conscious but presented a -horrible M spectacle. The train which , was due from Bay boro about the time of the explosion brought Fanning who apparently was npt quite so badly hurt He was takea-rto.the sanatorium r where Mc Gehee was also transferred, Late last night they7 were reported fM. doing aa weft aa - oquht ;be expected. J Several days .Waiting will be required. to de termine whether they are Injured in ternaUyT .

The detonations were heard for many mile's. Telephone enquiries came from Bayboro, Klnston and reports ot hear ing it from Maysville and Pollocks villa.
