Creates Alarm That Attracts the
Police, Who See Fire and
Rescue Sleepers.
Hurrying to investigate the sound
of* pistol shots coming from the
home of J. B. Prater at No. 103
South Pryor street Tuesday morning
at 2 o’clock, Policemen Pearson and
Chapman probably saved the lives of
three men who were caught in the
burning rooming house of Mrs.
Brooks, at No. 88 South Pryor street.
The officers saw the flames* shoot
ing up from the roof of Mrs. Brooks’
home while talking to Mr. Prater
about the burglar who had been dis
covered in his house, and rushed
across the street. By pounding on
the door they aroused the three men
who were the only occupants of the
hous»e, and they succeeded in escap
ing, although forced to leave their be
longings. They were J. C. Johnson.
M. Y. Stevens and I. S. Ford. The
house was badly damaged.
The burglar who was in reality,
perhaps, the means of saving tne
lives of the three men, fled after Mr.
Prater fired three shots at him. The
intruder was extremely awkward,
and. while slipping through the hall
way of the Prater home, stumbled
and fell.
The noise of the fall awoke one of
the women members of the family,
and securing a pi.«tol she ran across
the hallway and gave the weapon to
Mr. Prater. The latter came out of
his room and fired at the burglar as
the latter ran out of the house.
Policemen Pearson and Chapman,
walking their beats, heard the shots
and hurried to the scene. After
searching the Interior of the Prater
home, they came out on the side
walk and then saw the fire across
the street.

COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—Following a
steady opening to-day the cotton mar
ket turned easy under active selling for
Southern account, based on weakness
in Liverpool cables anu favorable
weather reports overnight, with indica
tions pointing for more. First prices
were unchanged to 2 points lower than
Monday’s final. Later prices eased off
sharply. There was.an absence of spec
ulative demand and the demand from
spinners was also very light.
English operators are again discuss
ing the Clarke amendment. A conserva
tive interest writes: “It seems absurd
to think that the Clarke bill could be
come a law. If it should,, it would be a
strong bear card, probably tire very
thing the South believes it will not be.
We doubt if sales ahead are anything
like what they have been the past two
or three days. We also hope that China
gets settled soon, as the disturbance
there have caused orders to be with
drawn. - ’
Scattered short covering developed in
the forenoon, which seemed to come
hiefly from recent sellers. Spot houses
were also active buyers, but those in
clined to the buying side, finds ready
sales on any hard spots and sentiment
against the market. IT.ces, how
ever, rallied a few points from the in
itial low point. The buying movement
was probably based on a Texas wire,
which stated that unless Texas gets
general soaking rains, we will not help
ie bear any. Plant smallest ever

COTTON GOSSIP
It is a weather market.
* * *
Riordan sold 35,000 bales yesterday
and other brokers, supposedly acting
for Pell, sold around 15,000 October and
December. This selling was regarded
as liquidation of long lines accumu
lated recently on the alleged Texas
drouth and the contracts were taken on
the decline by spot people for the trade,
and by bears who had sold to the ex
change place house a dollar or more a
bale higher. When the selling was com
pleted the market became dull and was
nothing but a local scalping affair for
the rest of the day.
* # *
Texas appears to have been sufficient
rain for the present and sentiment is
bearish to the core, based chiefly on the
idea that the supply will exceed con
sumption, unless spinners can buy at
lower level.
* * •
“Should rains continue to come in
the Western belt it is very likely that
the market will be freely sold,’’ re
marked J. M. Anderson yesterday after
the market closed. “But we must not
forget that August is a very critical
month and many reverses could come
to the crop.’’ •

NEW ORLEANS. Aug 5. —Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows part
cloudy over south Texas and Atlantic
coast districts; generally fair else
where. Sprinkle at San Antonio, Texas,
and private reports show light rains at
several other Texas points. Indica
tions are for increasing cloudiness gen
erally over the belt, with nrospec.ts for
showers in Texas, the Gulf coast dis
tricts and Florida. Some indications of
Gulf disturbance likely to bring rain
over Gulf districts and south Texas in
the near future.
The following wire was received from
Dallas, Texas: "Rain reported from
following places to-night. August 4:

ty; Macune, San Augustine County;

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “More fain in the West and less
in the East gave the bears something
fresh to talk about and the cotton mar
ket reflected the presence of a slightly
greater number of selling orders than
buying orders. As a matter of fact, the
market is far too narrow to start any
thing in the way of definite price drift.
Around 11c there is little or no buying
power.
“In most sections the crop seems to
be progressing splendidly. The talent

Plans to Secure Crop
Fund for Savannah
SAVANNAH, Aug. 5.—A meeting of
the Savannah Clearing Association was
held this morning for the purpose of
discussing plans for securing some of
the crop-moving fund, which is to be
made available by the national Gov
ernment. The meeting was called upon
receipt of a telegram from Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury John Skelton
Williams, asking that a representative
be sent to Washington for a conference
Thursday.
Simultaneously Congressman Charles
G. Edwards, in a telegram to Secretary
McAdoo, of the Treasury, urged the
need of placing in the Sea Island cotton
belt a good portion of the fund.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.—Although no rains
were reported in the corn belt where
needed, liberal selling of this cereal was
indulged in by longs after the first few
minutes of to-day’s session and prices
showed sharp reactions from the ad
vances recorded at the start. The sell
ing indulged in was largely in the way
of securing profits, but some corn was
sold in the belief that the long drawn-
out drouth is to be broken, which will
cause sharp losses in corn values.
While the wheat market showed some
steadiness early losses of % to %e were
recorded, the weakness in the corn mar
ket serving to a large extent in bring
ing out the recessions in wheat. Liver
pool reported the weakness In America
as being offset by unfavorable harvest
weather, and the delayed movement
throughout Europe.
The European visible supply decreased
2,488,000 bushels last week.# against a
decrease of 3,700.000 bushels for a cor
responding time last year. The foreign
crop summary for the week is generally
favorable. Northwestern receipts were
again light, but slightly in excess of last
year. Receipts at Winnipeg were also
light.
Oats displayed more strength than did
•be other cereals, but there were de
clines of % to He in this market. The
slight losses were caused by the weak
ness Th the cotton market.
Pork sold slightly lower, but the bal
ance of the provision list was stronger.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “From
the way the wheat was supplied on the
bulge yesterday by a number of the
big houses, it created the impression
that Lichstern had sold all the trade
would take on the bulge. With a con
tinuation of the advance in coarse
grains, wheat traders are looking for a
nervous market.
“Corn traders regarded the market as
badly strained last night, and many said
prices were high enough, as they dis
count a lot of damage, having advanced
12c since July 14, December and May
selling at record figures for this sea
son. Conservative commission houses
are advocating caution in buying on
upturns.”

“It is reported in the north of Ar
gentina the crop is very forward; weath
er very hot, and rain badly needed; too
much rain in the South.’’
J. G. Steener & Co., of Chicago, says:
“There has been so much liquidation on
both sides of provisions that the trade
has settled down to u small dull affair.
From now on bulls will not have the
assistance of shorts to help advance
prices. Present cash demand is not
large, but stocks are not excessive, or
likely to be.”
