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. Atlanta Markets EGGS—Fresh country, candled, 170 18c.

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 known and shedding badly.

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.’’ • • * • Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma clear, warm.’’ * * * 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: Bogata, Red River County, Denton,, Teague, and Mexia in Freestone Coun ty; Macune, San Augustine County; Temple. Bell County; Taylor. William son County, and )n several sections the rainfall was heavy. Cotton was bene fited. At Macune an eleven weeks' drouth was broken The rainfall was badly needed at Mexia. * * * Cordill wires frbm Troy, Ala., Aug. 4.—“Evergreen. Greenville, Montgomery to Troy the crop In southwest and south Alabama could hardly be better at this date, showing continued and uninter rupted improvement since my last trip. Rains have fallen where and when needed. Old cotton heavily fruited; new cotton fruiting well. With favor able weather look for considerable Au gust movement from south Alabama, Weather continues favorable for growth and fruiting. Rains will be needed lat ter part of the week. Crop laid by in perfect condition.’’ * * • 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 Is divided In Its opinion as to Texas. Everybody knows that where good rains iave fallen the Texas crop is now in ex cellent shape, but the rings are not agreed as to the extent or the Texas cotton lands receiving adequate mois ture Meanwhile, fair, dry weather throughout the belt is promised by the Government. ) 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.

May a 03 ii 04 n 0111.04 11.07 08 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 quotations to noon: Previous High. Low. Noon. Close.

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.” Contract stocks in public elevators in Chicago are as follows: This Last I^ast Week. Week Year.

Finley Barrell & Co. received the fol lowing cable; “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.
