Saturday 294 134 Monday AN UNSETTLED DAY IN COTTON New York Close Was Steady at Net Loss of Three to Eight Points. New York.—The cotton market was unsettled today with prices easing off under a renewal of old crop liquidation and reports of good showers in the Carolinas. The close was steady but at a net loss of three to eight points. There were quite a good many over night selling orders at the start and the opening was at a decline of eight to eleven points on the old crop and of one to four on new* crop deliveries. Rela tively weak cables encuraged the selling V'&yement but offerings were well taken b\sng to prospects for continued clear hot Weather over the greater part of the South. Old crop positions rallied to about last night’s closing figures while the new crop sold four or five points net higher on covering and fresh buying for long account. This advance encountered con siderable selling pressure, however and some of the same brokers who had been very heavy sellers late yesterday on the Chicago bank news were sellers again. There was also a good deal of scattered realizing for over the week-end while better weather reports from the Caro linas may have inspired some local pressure. The market broke sharply with old crop months selling eleven to twelve points under yesterday’s closing f’gurVs while later deliveries showed net losses of five to six points. A slight rally followed on covering but the mar ket closed within a point or two of the lowest on new crop positions. The sup ply and distribution figures of the cen sus bureau may have inspired some of the old crop selling. Detailed weather reports showed good showers In North Carolina and fair showers in Georgia. Alabama and Louisiana but forty-nine stations east of the river showed max imum temperatures Gs 100 degrees or over.

New Orleans. —The cotton market had a downward tendency on the week-end session as the result of faivly good rains in portions of the eastern belt and the falling off in consumption of cotton by American mills during May, *as compared with the same month last year. Liberal buying orders from the long side met the decline and kept the market steady but offerings were suficient to put prices four to six points under yesterday’s fi nals. The close was at a net loss of two to five points. A flurry of selling around the opening balled forth heavy buying orders, said to come from prominet interests. The forecast of fair weather for the belt, ex cept for thunder showers in the Caro linas, was a help to the long side for a while but the detailed reports, showing rain at nine out of the ten stations in the Wilmington district and 'scattered show'ers elsewhere in the East, gave hears the hope that the drouth was at least to be ended. These offerings fi nally broke the market. High. Low. Close.

WEEK IN COTTON New York.—The cotton market has been less active during the past week and fluctuations have been Irregular, but Rince the reaction of some 40 to 50 points from the recent high level, prices have worked higher on a moderate trade de mand, renewed bull support and cover ing. December contracts sold at 12.98 today or about 38 points above the low level reached on the break of last Mon day and within 12 points of the hgh record for the season. Improving weath er and crop accounts from the western belt have encouraged selling but there has been little or no Indication of Southern offerings here against pros pective crops, and, as the scattering long Interest accumulated Inst month had been materially reduced on the break of the previous week, there was not much pressure against the market. At any rate, contracts were r<gidl!y absorb ed, and toward the end of the week the trade showed Increasing nervousness over new crop prospects east of the riv er, owing to continued dry weather In most sections and reports of extremely high temperatures. Aside from Immediately prevailing crop conditions, bultlshly disposed opera tors continue to emphasise the unfavor able start as reflected In the Initial con dition figures, and some think there has been as much buying on the fear of un favorable weather later In the season and a generally bun ~h view of require ments as on any particular Item In the week's news. In some circles there Is a disposition to compare eastern bell prospects with the bumper crop year of 1911, as May and June weather condi tions to date have been somewhat simi lar hut the recent government report showed a very much less favorable start In the eastern belt states than at the corresponding date three years ago, and unfavorable private reports from this section have been more numerous while there have also been some reports oi acreage abandonment or heat damage to a sappy plant from west of the river.

Small Changes at Close of Saturday’s Trading. ■ ■ 11, i ■ \ \ New York.—The weok’s trading in stocks came to an end today as quietly as it began. Seldom has Wall street seen six successive days in which spec ulative interest was at a lower ebb. Less than 40,000 shares were dealt in today. At the opening prices eased off. The only aparent reason was the lower range of quotations from London. The down ward movement was general, but was of small proportions. Later demand ex panded and the list made up its opening losses. At the end of the day changes were trivial. The week’s record total of gold en gagements for export was increased to day by the booking of $4,000,tH)0. It became known also that arrangements had been made tentatively for engage ment of $4,000,000 or $11,000,000 on Mon day. The abnormally high sterling ex change weakened The bank state ment showed the expected loss as a re sult of the gold movement, amounting to $7,690,000. The weekly trade reviews were in keeping with the more optimistic senti ment which haß been evident of lat. The doubtful outlook for payment of the July interest on St. Louis & San Francisco refunding 4s caused active selling of the bonds, which sagged to 68 1-2. This is a loss of 4 1-2 on the week. Total sales, bonds, (par value) .$982,- 000. United States bonds, unchanged on call on the week. NEW YORK STOCK LIST Closing.

The undertone was firm moat of the time but the demand was poor and In spite of (he scarcity of slocks no response was made to favoring develop ments. Of these perhaps the moat Im portant were the government's crop re peat on conditions at the end of Mny arid the Shreveport rate decision. Passage by the senate of the canal tolls repeal bill was accounted an Influence In favor of railroad shares. Progress of the Mexican mediation conference In spits of fears of a rupture once or twice dur ing the week encouraged operation* on •he long side. One of the foremost factors In sustaining the market was the expectation of a decision before many days In the freight rates case. The United States Steel tonnage fig ures Indicated Hint new buslneas during May had been at the rate of less than half the corporation's capacity. The export movoment of gold .reached extraordinary jrnportlon*. Nearly $20.- 000.000 was engaged during the week, establishing a record for New York. The movement exerted little Influence here except for a slight stiffening at time money rates. THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. Daily Pattern 9904—AN IDEAL DRESS FOR SCHOOL OR GENERAL WEAR.

' Universal Morphinism is I Among Amur Region Folk St. Petersburg,—Universal morphin ism is impending along the inhabi tants of the Amur rrgion. The fright ful conditions already prevailing there were described otday by Dr. Stnrokot nizky, director of the psychiatric sec tion of the Medical Society of Blago vestchensk. The disease embraces all classes and has spread into the villages. Old men and children as young as nine years old have become victims. In the prisons of the Amur territory, 300 of each 1,000 Inmates are certified as morphine victims. A strange feature Is the habit of those who have money and have given way to the drug, of furnishing It to those who are to poor to buy. There are secret clubs which propagate the habit. People may be seen In the open streets Injecting morphine into themselves. Dr. Starokotnizky speaks of men collecting twenty to twenty-five rou bles a day and buying morphine for those who arc craving for It. In the Rown of Blagovestohcnsk alone, he re ports that from 1,500 to 2,000 grammes of morphine are sold dally. , SEC’Y HESTER’S WEEKLY eCTTONSTATEMENT In sight for week 51,000 Do same 7 days ast year..,. 40,000 Do same 7 days year before.. 53,000 Do for the month 97.000 Do same date last vesr 58,000 Do same dat year before .... 81,000 Do for season 14,170,000 D osavne date last year 13,590,000 Do suine date year before ...15,483.000 Port receipts for season 10,196,000 Do same date last year 9,727.000 Do same date yr. before last. .11,819,000 Overland to mllsl and Canada for season 1,124,000 Do same date last year 1,051.000 Do same date yenr before... 1.222,000 Southern mil ltakings for sea son 2,715,000 Do same date Inst year 2.562,000 l)o same date year before .. 2,340,000 Interior stocks In excess of Sep tember Ist 335,000 Do last year 169/000 Do year before 102,000 Foreign exports for week ...... 66,000 Do same 7 days Inst year .... 70,000 Do for season 8,851,000 Do same date last yenr 8,211,000 Northern spinners’ tnklngs and Canada for week 19,000 Do same 7 days last, year ... 32,000 Do for season 2.418,000 Do to same date last year... 2,484.0%) Statement of World’s Visible Supnly Total visible this week 4.421,375 Do last week 4,586,993 Do same date last year 3 801.497 Do same date year before . 3.741.58 J Of this the total American this week 2,520.375 Do last week 2.681,993 Do last year 2.324,497 Do year before 2,649,582 All other kinds this week .... 1.901,000 Do last week 1,902.000 Do last year 1,477.000 Do year before 1,092.000 Visible In the IT.

Mr. Rosa, a subdlvislonal officer, en listed the aid of the subidar (chief na tive officer) of the company in rounding up a man-eating tiger, With a section of twenty-five men, armed with rifles, bayonets, and bill cartridges, they were guided by a villager to the spot where the tiger was thought to be. Mr. Ross declined to take charge of the opera tions, saying ho wanted the first shot. He therefore, took up his position in front of tile men, with a scout to the right and the left. The men were drawn up as If an attack on the enemy's stock ade were premeditated. The order was given to load the rifles and to fix bayo nets and the party advanced. Scarocly had they started when nn animal broke from cover and with great leaps and bounds charged straight at Mr. Ross, who dropped on one knee and fired. Still the animal came on. Ono of the two scouts, Havlldar, Hahommed Aalm, jumped in front of the officer and took tiie cliurge of his bayonel, firing at the same time. Ho saved Mr. Ross, hut he was knocked down by the ani mal, which fell on him. The second scout, Lance Nalk Snk hnwut Khun, rushed to his comrade’s aid. The animal charged him, 100. He also received the charge on his bayonet and pulled the trigger at the snme time, lie was knocked down and his leg was savagely bitten. Then the subadar, forgetting that he was In charge of the operations rushed Into the fray witli a sporting gun, fol lowed by Ills men with hoyonets le velled. Mr. Ross, too, dashed Into the melee. There were shots, bayonet thrusts, and shouts. Two men were knocked down by the animal and maul ed. Others were knooked down, but got up unhurt. It was a whirlwind of fur, steel and puggrees that would have delighted (ho heart of a moving-picture operator. Finally the sepoys killed the animal. It was then seen that It was a panther and not a tiger, as they had thought. In its body were seven bullets and eleven bayonet wounds. NEW YSRK FUTURES. New York. -Cotton Litres closed steady.
