NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—The cotton market opened
steady at an advance of three to seven
points today in response to higher cables
than expected while there was also some
scattered buying on predictions for un
settled weather in the western belt.
Trading was very quiet however and the
market showed little feature after the
call with fluctuations narrow. The
weather map indicated generally favor
able conditions in the belt over Sunday.
The market turned easier around
miday on the favorable detailed weather
reports with prices selling back to a
shade under Saturday’s closing figures.

cotton’THlS WEEK
New Orleans. —The record of the past
week shows a small net gain over last
week’s prices for cotton contracts in the
New Orleans market. The improvement
ranged from three points on June and
July, four points on October, December
and March. 5 >olnts on November. 6 on
January, 7 on September and 8 on Au
gust to 12 points on the current, or spot
month.
The week opened with a sharp advance
on all new crop positions and after a
slight downward turn on Tuesday, moved
up again and continued to show consid
erable strength until Friday, when a
great Improvement in weather conditions
through the belt Influenced a decided
change in sentiment and prices fell away
prom that time on until Saturday clos
.ng.
The outlook for this week is rather in
favor of lower prices. Clear sunshine
prevails over almost the entire belt and,
while there have been no curtailment of
spots, a continuance of fair weather will
doubtless have (he effect of deprsslng
prices especially on the new crop.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, III*. —Although wheat showed
some strength In sympathy with higher
cables prices later weakened on account
of lack of support. Selling from specu
lators became general on the advance.
Opening prices were l-Bal-4 to 1-4 high
er hut afterwarth the market sagged to
below Saturday night's level.
Argent na reports that new crop ar
rivals were in poor condition tended to
make corn here firm. The market open
ed 1-4 to 1-2a5-8 higher and seemed In
clined to hold nearly all of the advance.
Oats had but little change.

MEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—Sentiment on the stock ex
change became more cheerful and prices
advanced during the forenoon. The im
provement was not checked by an
nouncement of arrangements for expor
tation of $2,000,600 more gold; or by the
discouraging tone of advices from for
eign financial centers. Buying of stocks
while not heavy proceeded steadily. Rep
resentative shares, such as Canadian Pa
cific, Union Pacific, Lehigh Valley, Great
Northern and Reading were lifted to 1 to
1 3-8.
Bonds were irregular.
Trading lacked snap in the afternoon
but buying continued in a small way
and most stocks topped their earlier
prices. A decline in American stocks in
London was followed by selling here for
European account amounting to about
10,000 shares.
The market, closed easy. In the late
dealings bears renewed their efforts to
locate soft spots and caused a sharp de
cline in Canadian Pacific and Missouri
Pacific, which affected the entire Ist.

WEEK IN’FINANCE
New York.—Temporarv satisfaction of
the demand from the shorts left last
week's stock market in a bad condition.
This was aggravated by lessening of sup
port In the success of mediation In Mexi
co and toward the end of the week the
market lost ground. Disinclination to
embark on speculation either for a rise
or fall, was a characteristic.
The crop prospect constituted a basis
for confidence. The government report
formulated the promise of a winter
wheat crop a hundred million bushels in
excess of last year's heavy yield, and de
fined the forward state of other crops.
Business, however, still hesitated. Hand
to-mouth buying of merchandise, cau
tious lending by banks, and the prefer
ence of Investors for short term securi
ties all manifested doubts. The Influ
ence of declining steel markets wgs
supplemented by the decreasd copper
consumption and the growing number of
Idle 'relght cars. Curent earnings re
ports of the railroads were somewhat
better by comparison, with a poor pe
riod last year, and with the advantage
of economies this year.
Shifting of the demand for gold from
London to New York threatened stiffen
ing of Interest rates for money although
the accumulation of funds here on trans
actions with the interior and the small
requlremnts of the business world made
unlikely any marked lightening of the
money market In the Immediate future.
The struggle with credit troubles for
the various railroads burdened the whole
market. The selections for the federal
reserve board made a good Impression.
In Europe apprehension was renewed
over Ulster nnd the Balkans with the
suspicion that gold absorption was going
Into war chests.

THE MORNING WITH
THE RECORDER
Pinkey Scott, the incomparable, was
a witness in two cases this morning.
The National Board of Censorship
steps in and forbids any mention of
what she witnessed, unfortunately, but
it is, of course, a gala day for the
Court when Pinkey appears at all, In
whatsoever capacity, and It calls for
notice. A month has passed since her
last appearance. She has been good
on account of chills and fever, she
sai(j. Of all the stars and prima don
nas, she is the first,—with the possi
ble exception of Annie Ware. But An
nie spends so much time at the Stock
ade that she can scarcely do herself
justice. tit is Annie, of whom it is
said, that she has not had 24 hours
out of jail for eighteen months. ‘‘She
gets drunk time she gets home," as
she says herself.) But Pinkey often
gets off, so that she can come up more
frequently. This is owing to a strange
and almost unprecedented fact about
her; —that whatever she may say in
court, however damning to herself, it
is always the Sublime and Celestial
Truth. The judge believes implicitly
every word she says, and it is use
less for these niggers to get up and
contradict her.
It was thought that a little Biogra
phical Sketch would not be amiss In
calling attention to Who was Who
at the Barracks.
Melinda Mitchell, colored, and her
friend Oliver, were arested jointly Sat
urday night, for cutting each other.
The story was told by a female wit
ness as follows:
"Well, sir, dis fuss dey had started
tong time ago. Melindy, she used to
stay wid White People up 'roun' Cen
ter street. But he used to go up dere!
and raise so much sand, dey had to
turn her out. Well, 'bout a week ago
she come to me and ast me wouldn’t I
take her to Boad. So I taken her een
my house. Sat’day evenin’ he come
up to de house and tole her, he say:
‘Come on, Melindy, pack up yo’ things
and git out o’ here. You got to come
wid me.’ She say she caint move right
then, she’ll move Monday.
But she kep’ on sayin’ she couldn’t
move tell Monday, cause she couldn’t
git her things moved out. But she
didn’t have nothin’ but a folding bed
an' a trunk. Den he say he'd tote de
things home for her. But she say
she aint goin' to move nohow. And
he didn’t do a thing but pull out a
great big old long knife and jobbed her
een de arm. Den he cut at her agin
and sliced her up right bad on de other
arm. But when he went to cut her
de third time, he got a-holt o’ de knife
backwards, some way, and cut his own
self. Das how come he to be cut. She
didn’t have no knife ”
This was obviously true, and the
judge dismissed Melindy, and fined
Oliver $25 or 5 days, with a bond of
$l5O to the city court for stabbing.
Won’t Permit Re-Opening
Mines; Colorado Strike
Washington. —No mines will be per
mitted to re-open in the Colorado
strike district for the present, Secre
tary of War Garrison announced to
day. He denied that orders had been
issued forbidding importation of
strike-breakers but explained that
while the situation remained threat
ening the mines not alreaiV running
probably would be kept closed until
in his judgment their opening would
precipitate no further trouble.
