NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—There was a further de
cline in the cotton market during today's
early trading owing to relatively easy
cables and reports of raih in the central
belt. The opening war barely steady'
at a decline of four to eight points and
new crop positions sold about eight to
ten points net. lower shortly after the
call. Liverpool and spot house brokers
were moderate buyers on the decline.
There was enough trade buying and
covering to cause wight rabies during
♦he morning but the detailed weather re
ports shqp-ed fair showers in the belt.
The tone was unsettled with prices rul
ing some 13 to 14 points net lower short
ly after midday.
Reports that it was raining again this
afternoon in Arkansas, South Carolina
and Alabama caused renewed selling
after midday and active months were
about 13 to 16 points ihst lower around 2

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
New Orleans. —Rains over the belt and
poor cables caused liberal offerings on
the opening of the cotton market today.
First prices w'ere four to nine points
down and in the early trading the de
cline was widened to eleven to thirteen
points.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARK.ET
Chicago, lll*.—Reports of black rust in
South Dakota and of other damage
northwest by excessive moisture forced
wheat speculators today to the buying
side. The opening, which was the same
as last night to 3-8 higher was followed
by a decided additional upturn.
Showers over districts where there has
been complaint of drought eased corn
but prices rallied in sympathy with
wheat. After starting unchanged to 1-4
lower and suffering a further decline
values recovered to nearly last night’s
level.
Some reaction resulted from denials of
black rust reports and wheat closed firm
3 1-Sal 1-4 above last night.
Renewed weakness in corn came about
in consequence of reports of the grading
system here being relaxed. The close,
neverthelss. was firm at exactly the
same as last night.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—The dullness of the early
stock market was accentuated by the
fact that no transactions In such import
ing issues as Great Northern, Northern
Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Baltimore &
Ohio and Pennsylvania were receded
during the first hour. Wall street dis
cussed with much interest the visit of
J. P. Morgan to the White House. Al
though It was asserted Mr. Morgan’s
meeting with the President had no' con
nection with' New Haven affairs, that
stock soon dropped to the lowest record
in its history, namely 63 3-8. Announce
ment of the Cincinnati Hamilton and
Dayton receivership was received with
expressions of relief.
The list did Mttie more Gian mark time

were few. Northern Pacific* showing
some heaviness, while Southern Pacific
was relatively firm. Ind’cations that the
banks are to lose heavily the week

U. S, METHODS
EXHTEiRUEE
Press Comments Appear To
day in Angry Terms Over Our
“Business Spy System.”
■ 4
Paris. —The opinion prevailed here
today that United b'tates treasury
agents would in future be excluded
from France because of the exposure
of their methods in the course o£ an
appeal by Henry Monroe, a banker,
against a jgil sentence and fine for
refusing to disclose the amounts paid
in France by Miss Dolan of Brook
line, Mass., for dresses seized by the
American customs officials on their
arrival in Boston.
The French foreign office some
time ago made representations to the
state department at Washington in
regard to the irregularity of the Unit
ed States in maintaining secret agents
in France who were not recognized
by the American embassy or consul
ate general.
Much comment, some of it in angry
terms, appears in the press today
about what is called the “business spy
system of the United States.”
Arthur David-Mennet, president of
the Chamber of Commerce of Paris,
today refused to request withdrawal
of chamber deputies to opposition of
an appropriation for the Panama-Pa
cific Exposition at San Francisco. He
says he will do nothing until the
United States ceases its vexatious
and unreasonable interference with
the importations of French goods.
PROSPERITY VS.
DULLNESS TALK
Both Sides Pictured in Senate
Discussion Today. Starts
Over Treasury Surplus.
Washington, O. C. —Prosperity and de
pression were pictured in another sen
ate debate today. Republicans cited in
stances of industrial dullness while
Democrats asserted that business con
ditions were better in the United States
than anywhere else in the world.
Senator Simmons started the argu
ment when he quoted the official treas
ury figures showing a surplus for the
fiscal year just ended.
“The treasury may be in satisfactory
condition,” interjected Senator Galling
er, Republican, “but the industries of the
country certainly are not.” He then read
from letters saying a New Hampshire
manufacturer bad lost a $200,000 yearly
contract with a Baltimore customer who
found he could buy shoes cheaper in
England under the new tariff. Senator
Gallinger also presented correspondence
to show that the wool manufacturing In
dustry in New Hampshire had fallen off.
Senator Hollis, Democrat, replied that
a personal investigation in New Hamp
shire had convinced him that labor was
better employed there than it had ever
been before. .
Senator Martine, Democrat, asserted
that a sewing machine plant In New
Jersey, which usually closes down for a
month in the summer, had this yoar
been unable to close for more than a
week.

COMPROMISE, BEAUFORT HARBOR.
Washington, D. C. —A compromise plan

M. & M. Adopts Unique Plan of
Advertising Augusta at Out-of-
Town Conventions—lt’s a Map
Regular Meeting of Board of Commissioners Held Today.
Want Extra Train Between Augusta and New York—Dis
cuss Method of Handling Soldiers’ Baggage For the En
campment.
Matters of Importance to the city
at large and to the members of the
Merchants and Manufacturers’ Associ
ation were discussed at a meeting of
the board of commissioners of the
M. & M. this afternoon, held in the
rooms in, the Harison building.
Preparations are being made to have
the Southern Railway put on an extra
passenger train from Augusta to N'-w
York, daily, leaving here at noon.
There is a demand for the additional
service, it is stated.
Unique Advertising Plan.
The commissioners decided to have
a large canvass map of portions of
Georgia and South Carolina made f<>»
the purpose of advertising this city a:
conventions in other cities. The map
will be used for the first time at a
convention of real (state men next
Tuesday in Toronto, Canada, at whiell
Augusta will have representatives. The
map will be made so that it may be
rolled up like a wlndo • shade and In
addition to geographically showing the
towns in this section of the two stata*
it will give information, facts and fig
ures that will stand out glaringly In
Augusta's favor over the other cities
on the map. One of the principal
features will be that which shows the
distance of Augusta from the sea and
the advantage of her barge line oper
ated over the Savannah river. The
map will be loaned by the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association to Au
gustans attending outside conventions
and it is believed will do more to ad
vertise this city than any other scheme
adopted in some time. It may be car
ried in the shape of a roll without
inconvenience.
Out for Cotton Meeting.
It was also decided to use every
effort to secure the annual meeting of
the American Cotton Manufacturers'
Association, of which Mr. T. I. Hick

Tells of Difference Between “Framing”
" and “Fixing” Witnesses and Jurors
in Murder Trials
Chicago.—Details of his confessed
specialties—bribing jurors, "fixing'
witnesses and collateral operations—
were' given cheerfully today by
“Slicky” McMUhon to officers who
have him in charge. He said hiq
business was systematically establish
ed and his gang here comprised fifty
oe more men.
“Slicky” explained that in techni
cal language witnesses are '“framed”
while jurors are "fixed.” Work among
veniremen is called "field work.”
“ ‘Field work’ costs heavily—from
$2,000 to $12,000,” said McMahon.
"Sometimes as many as fifty men are
House Convulsed on Mileage Till; Vo led
lo Quit Grand Larceny and Be
Betty Thief
Washington.—Representative Candler, of Mississippi, and Represen
tative Morrison, of Indiana, both democrats, had a lively set to over the
mileage question today and convulsed the house with laughter. Mr.
Candler was making a speech in favor of live-cent mileage while the
senate is fighting to keep the rate at 2 cents.
“Have you ever introduced a motion to strike out all mileage?'
demanded Morrison of Candler. “I am following you mock heroes, i
have been following vou in contempt and I will follow you in admlra
tion. I voted with all the cowards every time the question has come
before the house. I followed the mock heroes every time.”
Then, in voting that way,” suggested Mr. Candler, “the gentleman
says he considers himself a coward.”
“I did not say so,” returned Mr. Morrison. "I voted to quit being
guilty of grand larceny and to become a mrty thief. I want to he
honest and I want you to make the motion.” w
The house broke into roars of laughter and waves of applause. A
roll call cut off the exchange.
