HOME OF A FAMOUS
DISCOVERY.
MARVELOUS GROWTH OF A
WONDERFUL TREATMENT
WHICH SAVES THE LIVES
OF MEN AND WOMEN
SUFFERING FROM
CHRONIC
DISEASES.
Eminent Physicians and
Specialists Offer Free
Help to the Sick and
Afflicted.
A few years ago Prof. Thomas F. Ad
kin. the noted scientist of Rochester.
N. Y.. discovered a new treatment for,
curing diseases. It was radically dif
ferent from any other. It was start
ling in its conception. At first he
stood alone In his belief that a com
bination of psychic force and certain
magnetic vegetable remedies would
cure when all else failed. He sought
eagerly for cases which had been pro
nounced incurable, and he was mar
velously successful in restoring the
health and strength of chronic suf
ferers in an incredibly short time by
the power of his great discovery.
Gradually his fame spread, until now
he is recognised from one end of the
land to the other as one of the mighti
est healers the world has ever known.
His work has prospered. an<f the In
stitute of Physicians and Surgeons, of
which he is president, now occupies
the splendid sanatorium illustrated
' above.
Prof. Adkins employs a noted staff of
physicians and specialists, and many
people of means, from all parts of the
country come directly to him for
treatment, but the majority of his
patients consult him by mail.
It you are sick, he invites you to
•end him the leading symptoms of
your ailment. He will give you a free
diagnosis of your case and prescribe,
free of charge, a home treatment
which he guarantees to cure. Many
thousands of people have profited by
this generous offer. It is a God-send
to those who feel they cannot afford
to pay doctors' bills. Mrs. E. Reed of
Dudleyville IU.. suffered for twenty
five years with chronic rheumatism.
constipation, catarrh of
the stomach and bowels and an affec
tion of ihc heart, liver and bladder.
-- ”1 doctored until I grew tired of life,”
she'writes. “My back was so weak I
could not do my work. I thank God
for finding your generous offer in the
paper. In one month's time your
Vitaopath! treatment has done me
more good than all the doctors who
have treated me in the last ten years.”
Mr. Jas. Smart of Lee. N. C., was ad
dicted to bad habits. “I feel like a
bird liberated from a cage." he states
in a recent letter. "I am so light
hearted I fairly bubble over with good
feelings. I seem to have changed back
to my boyhood days. My health is
better than it has been for years, and
I grow stronger every day. I have
no desire whatever to return to my
old habits. It does not seem possible
that I could have formed such bad
habits and then be cured in such a
short time. I would not return to
them for the wealth of the world. I
feel I have a new lease on life, and one
that will be spent tn usefulness to my
self and my fellow-men. I have been
able to perform some remarkable
cures myself by means of your Wonder
ful Vltacpathic instruction. I do not
now have to call a doctor for any of
my family.” Mrs. S. A. Sutherland,
living in Claire. Mich., says In a letter
to Prof. Adkin: “When I began your
treatment I did not think I would
ever be any better, and my neighbors
thought I never would be well again.
I was extremely nervous and suffered
I also had liver and kidney troubles
and palpitation of the heart, and at
times was almost frantic from loss of
sleep. The first few days of your mar
velous treatment did me more good
than all the medicines I had ever
taken, and It has finally made me a
•well woman. I want to thank you
and your great staff of specialists
from my heart, for the kind, courte
ous and generous interest you have
taken in my particular case. In writ
ing you it has always seemed I was
writing to a personal friend Instead of
the greatest healers of modern times.”
In addition to a free diagnosis. Prof.
'Adkin will send you a free copy of his
handsomely illustrated book, which
tells some intensely interesting things
about his remarkable discovery, to

FARMERS GET
NEW MOD
FOR STUDY
CHANCELLOR HILL MAKES SEV
ERAL IMPORTANT RECOM
MENDATIONS FOR AGRICUL
TURAL DEPARTMENT.
ATHENS. Os.. Juno 13.—Chancellor Hill
in his annual report to the board of trus
tees on Thursday afternoon strongly rec
ommended several very important changes
In the agricultural course of the Univer
sity of Georgia. He recommended a
course of nature study which will place
the student in closer contact with all
forms of vegetation and animal life.
Another innovation in this course, he
suggested a correspondence course with
the young farmers of the state who are
unable to go to college for their informa
tion yet are anxious to farm on scientific
principles.
The third and most Important recom
mendation in this course was for a short
er term In the agricultural course.
The success of the winter course of three
months was so great as to merit the
recommendation of an agricultural course
of one or two years. These recommenda
tions have been made to the trustees now
sitting in session and it is thought action
will be taken upon this subject this week.
Mrs. Klnnebrew. the matron of Den
mark hall, the new students' dining room,
prepared and gave an old-fashioned bar
becue to the student boarders and their
invited friends. The pigs, sheep and beef
were barbecued on the campus in front of
the hall, and most of the vegetables used
today were raised on the university farm.
A large crowd of the yOung lady com
mencement visitors, with chaperones,
dined at the hall with the boys today,
and altogether it was a most enjoyable
affair. The board of visitors and the
board of trustees now in session here
were invited to be present as the guests
of the 125 regular student boarders.

BRAVE OFFICER,
ISJEID
WHEN A MERE BOY HE LED HIS
COMRADES INTO A BATTLE
SEEMING CERTAIN DEATH.
Capt. L. J. Lase-d, a well known financial
and insurance man. died Friday morning
at 2.30 at his home, 110 Capitol ave
nue. His death was unexpected, although
he had been ill for two weeks.
Captain Laird was seised with nervous
prostartlon about four years ago, and the
condition of his health was such that he
was compelled to retire from business.
Since that time he had been tn indifferent
health. His last illness began two weeks
ago, but his condition was not considered
critical until Thursday night at 9 o’clock,
when he was seised with convulsions and
died without regaining consciousness.
Captain Laird is survived by his wife
and six children. His wife was formerly
Miss Elisabeth Cody, daughter of Rev.
Edmund Cody, a well known Baptist min
ister of Eufaula, Ala. The children are:
L. J. Laird. Jr., of Freeport, Neb.; E. C.
Laird, of Atlanta; Mack E. Laird, of St.
Paul. Min.; Mrs. Joseph N. Ellis, of Jef
ferson City, Tenn., and Miss Elisabeth
Laird and Miss Jennie Laird, of Atlanta.
Captain Laird was bom in Eufaula, Ala.,
February 7. 1843, and was therefore In his
sixtieth year at the time of his death. He
served in the war under Gen. Alpheus
Baker, and the latter gentleman always
said that Captain Laird was one of the
bravest men that ever faced a gun.
Captain Laird visited Louisville two or
three years ago, and while there called
on General Baker. These gentlemen had
not seen each other for over eighteen
years, and in keeping with his feelings the
general clasped his old comrade when he
saw him like a fattier would clasp his boy.
He related an incident about Captain
Laird in connection with the battle of
New Hope church. In Georgia which was
fought May 27, 1864.
“The attack was made by the Federals
on Gen. Henry D. Clayton's brigade prin
cipally,” raid General Baker, "and after
an hour's hard fighting, in which a great
deal of artfilery was used on the Federal
side, the Federals were repulsed. On the
25th there was a great quiet on that line,
but on the night of the 26th, about 12
o'clock. I found Federals were establish
ing a battery in front of my line, to which
my regiment was on left, the Twenty
seventh Alabama, was principally expos
ed. I wrote Gen. A. P. Stewart, telling
him that the battery was being established
there about 400 yards distant, that I would
be bound to suffer if it opened on us the
next day, because we were armed alto
gether with Belgian rifles that carried
only 300 yards. I told General Stewart
that If he would send me artillery I would
send the battery out of the ground at
daylight in the morning. He wrote bacK
to me that he could not furnish me any
artillery, that I occupied an Important
part of the line and he knew I would hold
it.
"On the morning of the 27th I waited
in great apprehension, and about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon the smoke puffed up from
the battery and terrific fire of grape and
solid shot stru> k the Twenty-seventh
Alabama. It was very destructive and In
a few minutes 97 were killed and wounded.
Heads and arms were shot off. We could
not reach them with our Belgian rifles,
but I knew we had a few Enfleld rifles In
. our brigade, and I called for all armed
with Enfleld rifles to come forward. Nine
teen men came, and knowing it was a
most desperate undertaking. I asked for
a volunteer officer to lead these nineteen
men, and a mere boy, Capt. L. J. Laird,
then only 17 years old. came forward and
volunteered to lead these men. And he
did lead them Into the jaws of death and
right Into the Are of the grape-shot, and
In a few minutes he had silenced the bat
tery and saved the brigade, receiving a
most desperate wound from a cannon ball
on the head, which disabled him for over
a year.”
TOG PROUD TO BEG,
SHE WAS STARVING
MACON, Ga., June 14.—The first genuine
case of starvation by a person too proud
to beg has been reported by one of the
city physicians. The victim Is Mrs. New
comb. a Virginian, whose husband died
here a couple of weeks ago. He has been
In feeble health for several years and had
been earning a living selling pencils on
the streets. He in this way supported a
wife and five small children. But sevet i al
weeks ago he grew too ill to go on the
streets, and his wife wore herself com
pletely out with watching and working to
keep him alive. Now he is dead and she
was prostrate with hunger last night when
a city physician found her. Her children

SPEAKER '
YOUNG LADIES ON THE LIST OF
UNIVERSITY SPEAKERS FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN THE HIS
TORY OF THE INSTITUTION.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATH
ENS. June 14.—The board of trustees, at
their session* yesterday afternoon, decided
that representatives from the two female
branches of the University of Georgia,
the State Normal school at Athens, and
the Georgia Normal and Industrial college
at Milledgeville, be allowed to speak at
the exercises of the different branches of
the university on next Tuesday afternoon.
This action Is not so surprising, for it
was noticed in the chancellor's report,
read Thursday, that he did not express
himself adverse to this step, but stated
that if the representative from the State
Normal school be allowed to speak, pro
vision should be made for a representative
from the Georgia Normal and Industrial
college.
The representative chosen to speak from
the State Normal school was Miss Lollle
M. Smith, daughter of Hon. R. B. Smith,
county school commissioner of Green
county. She is a njember of this year’s
graduating class and is considered one of
the brightest minds and best scholars in
attendance at the State Normal school.
She easily won out in the contest for this
honor, and will represent her school on
next Tuesday at the commencement ex
ercises participated In by all the branches
of the University of Georgia. When the
announcement of her selection was made
some time ago In The Journal, the fact
created consternation in the minds of the
alumni, and all awaited the action of ths
trustees when they met here.
Speaking of the decision given out late
yesterday afternoon, Chancellor Hill said:
"It was entirely the decision of the trus
tees, and I will tell you how it came
about as regards to the representative of
the Georgia Norma! and Industrial col
lege. When I was down there to com
mencement, I heard a very fine paper
read by Miss Emily F. Nucholls. of Fort
Mitchell, Ala., and the paper which she
had prepared was excellent, and was de
scriptive of the nature and special work
of the Georgia Normal and Industrial
college. I remarked that if Miss Smith
be allowed to speak at the university com
mencement, an excellent paper upon a
most excellent subject has unwittingly
been prepared for the occasion for a rep
resentative of this college, and I spoke to
President Chapel about it. Tonight I tel
egraphed Miss Nuckles and she will repre
sent the Georgia Normal and Industrial
college.”
MARTINIQUE VOLCANO
% AFFECTS MANY PLACES
HARRISBURG, Pa., June 14.-The con
tention of geologists that the recent seis
mic disturbance in Martinique would not
only affect territory adjacent to Martin
ique, but would also be noticed in this
country, is borne out by the following let
ter sent by Colonel H. C. Demmlng, of
the United States Geological survey, to J.
D. Wolcott, of the American geological
survey, Washington, D. C.:
"During the past month I have taken at
various places in Pennsylvania in my
geological work a number of elevations
above sea level, and I have found in ev
ery case where elevations had been tak
en previously that the present figures
show higher elevations than before.
It is possible that this is due to the seis
mic disturbances in the Martinique and
other Islands southeastwardly from the
United States. I found the variation to be
from two inches to more than 24 on com
paring them with older records at Honey
brook, Chester county; Columbia, Lan
caster county; Gettysburg, Auams coun
ty, Newville, Cumberland county and
Harrisburg, Dauphin county."

STORY OF THE BELT LINE DEAL
FROM BIRMINGHAM—SALE WAS
CAUSE OF NO SURPRISE
IN MAGIC CITY.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., June 12.—The final
announcement by Mr. H. M. Atkinson, of
the Birmingham Belt Railroad cepipany,
that the Belt system had been purchased
by the ’Frisco system, was received in
Birmingham without surprise, as several
things had transpired to lend color to the
original report, sent out from New York
some days ago.
The amount said to have been received
for the Belt is $600,000. Mr. Atkinson and
associates purchased it last October for
2375,000. Real estate was then purchased
in the territory of the Belt at an outlay of
1100,000, making the total cost $475,000- The
net profit to Mr. Atkinson and his asso
ciates is $125,000.
Some surprise has been expressed that
the Southern railway has made no oppo
sition to the entrance of a competitor into
the Birmingham district. It is said that
the secret of this is an understanding
which John Skelton Williams had with J.
Pierpont Morgan at the time of the cele
brated transaction in Louisville and Nash
ville stocks.
General Roadmaster L. B. Parsons, of
the Seaboard, arrived in Birmingham yes
terday and is in charge of the material to
be used in building the extensions into
Birmingham. Work will begin when the
litigation is over.
INSANITY IS PLEA~~
OF MILLARD LEE
The trial of Millard Lee, charged with
the murder of Miss Lilia May Suttles,
was Thursday made the special order for
this morning in the criminal branch of the
superior court.
Attorney Reuben Arnold Thursday
entered a formal plea of present insani
ty, and asked for a trial of this issue be
fore a special jury, arguing that the jury
of the criminal court as at present con
stituted could not legally serve In the
trial of the plea of insanity. Judge Can
dler, however, said he could easily ar
range for a jury of 24 out of the existing
jury of 48, and that the case could be
promptly entered into.
Solicitor C. D. Hill, for the state, was
anxious to begin the case, but Col
onel Arnold stated that he was physically
unable to commence the trial of such a
difficult case, and feared he would break
down before its conclusion. Upon this
statement. Judge Candler excused all wit
nesss until Monday next.

NEW YORK. June 14.—The cotton market
opened quiet with prices 2@4 points lower, in
response to generally unfavorable Liverpool
cables. Whereas an advance of 1% to 2%
points had been expected in the English mar
ket on the New York closing of yesterday
that market closed quiet and net unchanged,
to % point higher. Spot eotton was quiet and
l-32d lower on sales of only 5,000 bales. More
over there were no foreign buying orders in
hand to speak of. . Yet the weather forecast
indicated no relief from the drouth over the
central and wesetrn sections of the belt and
the chart this morning gave positively no rain
fall where most needed in the belt. Soon after
the call prices rallied quite sharply on de
mand from smaller shorts, but at most busi
ness was along hand-to-mouth lines and com
mission houses were quite bare of business.
The whole list worked up to last night’s prices
with October time at 8.06 bid. Then came
gradual reaction under selling for profits by
conservative scalpers and light Wall street
bear pressure, under which prices eased off
to the opening figures. The Chronicle crop
weather summary of the week south was re
garded as bullish but few traders were satis
fied that actual damage has as yet been sus
tained by the crop as a result of the dry
weather. The private telegrams stated that
the hot winds were prevalent in Central Texas
again but that as a general thing the plant
was withstanding the heat and lack of moisture
extremely well.

of a storm over the cotton belt was the fea
ture of the market that caused prices to take
an easy drop and some brokers to sell and go
short on the new crop. There was little real
izing in the selling; it was done mostly on
the prospects of rain and if the promised storm
does not come by Monday the general predic
tion is that prices will take a big jump. There
was nothing doing in June and but little in
July. October was the most active in the

Murphy &. Co.’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. June 14.—The Chronicle re
port on the crop situation today was just as
expected. As a matter of fact there has been
no actual damage as yet according to all
sources of information including Dallas, Fort
Worth. Houston and Brenham. These as well
as ether towns refer to the need of rain
and point to the fact, in most Instances, that
no injury has yet resulted. The character
of the Liverpool cables today was not encour
aging for the bulls. No material change be
ing reported In that market. It is understood
that Liverpool is not disposed to attach great
importance to the dry weather in-ae-much as
the best local concerns calculate that the
plant has not suffered as yet to any appre
ciable extent. It Is claimed, however, that
the trade may become bullish if dry weather
is unbroken for a week or two longer. There
is expectation of little rain at Savannah.
Moisture was reported during the morning but
this made no impression on prices, which
eased off 2 to 5 points after advancing 2 to 6
points. The market again developed weak
ness on expected rain In North Texas.
The visible supply today of all kinds is
2,510,000, against 3,640,000 last year. American
visible 1,858,000, against 1,953,000.
Southern Exchange C-.tton Letter.
NEW YORK. June 14.—The opening prices at
Liverpool today were slightly firmer with a
slight advance over last night’s closing figures.
There was a weaker tendency developed a
little later and forced a drop of about one
point on the close, resulting in about the same
os last night’s close. There was some disposi
tion on the part of shorts to cover and a
demand for spots, but on the whole the market
presented a lethargic attitude, the close being
quiet. The trade is patiently awaiting develop
ments from the southern states regarding the
crop prospects and have no decided views, as
it is too early in the season to be an advocate
of either side of the market. Our market dis
played a stronger feeling at the opening, but
a weak undertone soon became evident and
dullness set in which was attributed to the
decline. Prices slumped off about 4 points from
the opening and closed easier.
Early reports coming in from southern cor
respondents stated that rain had been general
through the west, but later the weather bureau
report was contradictory to this. There was
light rain at Macon, Ga., and a few scattered
sections In Georgia felt a light rain, but the
precipitation for the past week has done noth
ing toward furthering the growth of the plant.
Predictions for good showers come from Loui
siana. adding that a storm is expected to
travel around the gulf coast. Considerable dam
age by boll weevils and drouth continue to con
gest the wires. On this mixed sentiment we
can only expect a listless market until con
ditions are materially changed.
Port receipts are estimated at 5.000, against
7,984. New York spots were steady at 9 7-16 c.
New Orleans was a buyer of spots, mostly
for foreign account. This helped the future
market to hold rather firm throughout the
day.
Crain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, June 14.—Apathy pervaded the
pits of the beard of trade today. Traders paid
little attention to anything but wheat and
not much to that. Inasmuch as wet weather
has ruled the pit for the last week, when pros
pect of clearing skies were reported wheat lost
its strength. Oats sympathized somewhat, but
corn was under manipulation and held firm.
At the close July wheat was %@%c lower; July
corn. up. and July oats He down. Pro-
visions closed 7%c down for everything on the
list. .
Wheat—Late selling developed the only ac
tivity that the wheat pit experienced today.
At the outset cables were lower, indicating
better wether in France and England. The
southw<*st sold liberally In spite of the fact
that the country still had a soggy blanket
spread over it and more rains were falling.
Commission houses took a little stuff on the
score that not since the deal has there
been so clear indications that stocks of old
wheat are practically exhausted. A belief then
seemed to take hold of the crowd that fine
weather was at hand. I’rivate telegrams buoy
ed bears up to this opinion and when the lead
ing elevator interest began selling very free
ly the crowd was sure that the reaction was
setting in. All this while the pit was very
dull. As the selling progressed a gradual de
cline ensued and July, which had opened un
changed to He lower at 72U to 71Hc. slumped
to a weak close, %@%c lower at 71%®71%c.
Local receipts were 22 cars, 5 of contract grade;
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 217 cars, mak
ing a total of 239 cars, against 251 cars last
week and 492 cars a year ago. Primary receipts
were 357,000 bushels compared with 557,000
bushels fest year. Seaboard clearances in
wheat and flour equaled 622,000 bushels. The
seaboard reported 15 loads taken for export.
Corn was excitingly dull even for Saturday.
Wet weather all over the corn states hindered
the movement and the grading, but the lower
cables and the wheat weakness offset the bull
ish factors and the pit was left much to It
self. in spite of the lifeless nature of the pit
corn held very firm. The rumors were going
the rounds relative to the big deal In July
options. One was that the Wall street crowd
was shipping out cash stuff. The other had it
that J. Ogden Armour rather than the Wall
street crowd was the manipulator. On these
rumors the crowd fought shy of the pit and
especially as there was no big selling today.
July fluctuated only and closed at the
strongest %@%c up at 63He. Country accept
ances are still small. Receipts, 307 cars, but
graded only 34 cars contract.

slow. There was little support to the market

Murphy & C©.’s Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, June 14.—Wheat has been dull
and lower today. Weakness was on selling by
local longs and southwest. News was not
particularly bearish, but sentiment was. and
there was but little support to the market.
Commission houses were moderate buyers.
Bartlett ahd Frazer and Armour were «»£>y
sellers of July. Cables were indifferent. The
weather in the southwest was very wet and
more rains were predicted. There was a fair
export demand. The opening was about steady
and the market hung fire at a fraction lower.
The selling movements started and there was
a gradual decline.
Corn showed firmness in face of lower cables.
Liverpool came % to % lower. Bull interests
supported the market which was rather irregu
lar and showed but little change. Country of
ferings were small and wet weather was re
garded as bullish The market showed a dis
position to advance but on the slump in wheat
offerings were rather liberal and the advance
was lost. July was strongest, closing weak
but unchanged with the other markets.
Oats were steady but developed weakness
later In the session, the close showing a loss
for the day. Trade was not heavy and weak
ness came from lack of support more than
any other cause. There was a falling off in
the cash demand and weakness of wheat had
its effect. Commission houses sold some, but
sales were scattered. Receipts continue small,
but prices are lower.
Provisions—There was a demand for products
from brokers and the market was strong but
when the support ceased offerings became lib
eral and all products declined and closed with a
general loss for the day. The market was dull
and featureless.

McCullough Bros.’ Fruit and Produce
Letter.
ATLANTA. Ga.. June 14. 1902.
The frutl and produce trafic is holding up
remarkably well; in fact, better than ever be
fore in the history of our market at this season
of the year.
Peaches are moving in abundance and the
glut that usually exists at this season of the
year has already arrived and departed. The
market at this writing is well cleaned up with
conditions favorable for a strong demand and
more satisfactory prices. This applies to Geor
gia stock, because the receipts of Florida stock
has not been excessive at any time during the
season.
Cantaloupes have been in liberal supply dur
ing the entire week, and prices have declined
sharply. Some of the stock is of excellent
quality, while some shipments that have ar
rived packed by inexperienced handlers have
been pulled prematurely and results have been
nether profltiable nor satisfactory.
As yet the consumption of watermelons has
been light by reason of the fact that the trade
is inclined to be afraid of them early in the
season. The extreme warm weather prevailing
Is naturallv dispelling this feeling and we
anticipate the trade to open up on these goods
in full blast next week. Several full cars
have already been in the market, but their sale
as yet is not complete, hence results cannot be
determined.
Vegetables, generally speaking, are now being
supplied by the home gardeners, with the ex
ception of tomatoes and okra.
The market on lemons Is very active, and we
dare say strong advances wIH be the order of
the day for the next three months.
No apples or oranges of any description now
in the market. -
A tremendous glut on bananas has existed
during the entire week, whereby the handlers
have necessarily suffered a severe loss. Demand
seems to have fallen off materially on account
of the abundance of other fruit.
There is a strong demand for bright comb
honey in one-pound prints; also bulk comb
honey in cans. But little inquiry, however, is
being made for honey in inferior quality.
We anticipate much higher prices for new
Irish potatoes during the next ten days, the
bulk of the crop in all southern points having
already been marketed. The market is bare on
old Irish potatoes.
Very little demand for onions at low prices.
Butter selling slowly at unsatisfactory prices
with indications of a further decline.
Eggs holding their own at quotation prices.
The market is abundantly supplied with small
and medium chickens with prices much lower
Demand continues active for large fryers and
hens.
R, G. Dun & Co.’s Review.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s review says:
No diminution in business is apparent from
labor controversies owing to the prosperous
condition of the agricultural sections and the
bright outlook for this year’s crops. Retail
distribution of light weight wearing apparel
has felt the stimulus of higher temperature.
Railway earnings in May were 8.7 per cent
larger than last year and 21.7 per cent above
those of 1900.
There continues to be a wide discrepancy
between the amount of business offered and
the contracts closed in many branches of
the iron and steel industry owing to inability
of producers to assure delivery at a specified
time. Contracts running well into next year
indicate that the end of activity is not near.
Pressure Is still most conspicuous for rail
way and structural supplies and agricultural
implement works are crowded with orders.
Limited stocks are still the cause of stead
iness in all branches of textiles. Holders are
not urging sales and buyers show a disposition
to wait. Purchasers of cotton goods are in
fluenced by the prospect of cheaper raw ma
terial after the new crop begins to move.
Cotton rose slightly on a few unfavorable
weather reports, but the outlook is very bright
in many states.
. Tardy deliveries of sample prices by the
•woolen mills has caused complaint among the
clothiers, and fall orders are not placed freely.
Wool sells more freely at leading eastern
markets and quotations are steady.
No change of importance has occurred in
leather. Hides are again strong with Texas
steers leading the market and foreign dry
hides do not yield to lower bids.
Grain markets have show* the effect of con
flicting crop estimates and weather reports.
Failures for the week numbered 162 In the
United States, against 179 last year, and 20
in Canada, compared with 23 a year ago.

RISDICTION.
WATERBURY, Conn.. June 13.—Judge
Robinson, of the superior court, has hand
ed down a decision dissolving the injunc
tion which restrained the executors of the
Plant will from removing the $17,000,000
trust fund from Connecticut into New
York, except that $15,000,000, the amount
of a legacy to which Charles E. Hoad
ley, of this city is entitled, as represent
ing his children, must remain In this state
according to the decision.
Judge Robinson finds that the Hoadley
heirs are collateral kindred, being sons of
a half brother of the testator, and as such
they have a collateral Interest in the es
tate. He does not find, however, that ac*
cording to will, they are in any way inter
ested in the distribution of the $17,000,000
trust fund in the event of the decease of
the beneficiary mentioned In the will.
