BROWN BIDS HIGH.
New Orleans Bull Leader StHl Game
In Cotten Market.
New Orleans, May 26. —W. P. Brown,
the local bull leader in the cotton
market who has just returned from a
visit to New York this morning bid
August up to 12c at the opening of the
market. This was an advance of 21
points above the closing of yesterday.
He offered to take everything all the
way from 11.78, the closing figures of
yesterday, to 12 cents. When that
mark was reached he bid for 20,000
bales, but not a single contract for
•ven 100 bales was fired at’him.
All months took on substantial gains
bill August went higher than other
options and established a new record
for the season. The advances were
based on favorable Liverpool cables and
unfavorable crop reports together with
the general expectation that the week
ly report issued by the department of
agriculture at 11 o’clock this morning’
would be decidedly bullish. The bid
ding of the long side for large amounts
of cotton naturally boosted rices also.

DENOUNCES PERSECUTION JEWS
Baltimore Pastor Makes Soms Verj
Startling Accusations.
Chicago, May 25. —A dispatch to
The Tribune from Baltimore, Md.,
says:
Dr. Madison C. Peters, pastor’ of the
Baptist Tabernacle here, in his sermon
last night denounce'• the persecution
of the Jews in Russia, and then start
led his audience by declaring that in
a measure the people of the United
States aie guilty of me same crimes
for which Russia and the Russians are
censured He said in part:
"In America the Jew has a double
claim to recognition—the claim of the
man under the wide tolerance of the
twentieth century and the claim of
American citizens under the broad
spirit of the American constitution.
“Has he received the treatment he
merits as a man, and the rights he
deserves as a citizen? He is cari
catured in the comic papers and on
oiy stage. In our social, professional
and even political clubs he is black
balled.
"I have seen Jewish children go
home from our public schools in tears
because of the offensive ©ames with
which they were taunted. Outrages
are frequently perpetrated upon the
Jews in our cities uniter the eyes of
the police—outrages which Are a dis
grace to our republic.
“Russian and Roumanian immi
grants who are striving with might
and main to earn a livelihood, meet
with a reception from the de<nlzens of
the streets not at all creditable to
American citizenship. Our own skirts
are far from clean of anti-Semitism.”
