Cotton Circular.

New ORLEANS, April Atwood Violet
e Co. say:
Futures-Liverpool did decline 3 to 4.e4
as we expected, but the market did rot
sympathize but improved two points. Re-
ceipts do not seem to have influence any
longer. The larger the supply the steadier
the market apparently for futures. What
is to become of the spot accumulation re-
mains to be seen. Our New York dispatch
says the market is unreasonably steady and
encourages the bulls, but the shorts are sat
isfed to wait.
Port receipts today are 300 against 77O0
last year. The semi weekly interior move
ment at thirteen towns shows receipts,
Friday, $4,000 against l,000 for all this
week last year, while the stock shows a loss
of only 5000 since week ago. These thir-
teen towns show an excess of stock of 1874,
600 over last year. Receipts here tomorrow
will be 1000 against 6700 at all ports last
year.
F. o. b.-No market. Sales 500 bales.
Spots-Steady. Sales 1900 Demand
good for staple cotton; all English buyers.

HELD ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
An Elderly Man Charged With 0utraging a
Young Girl.

Young Girl.
DENIsoN, Tex, April 1.-Word wss re-
ceived today from Van A'styne to place Joe
Williams under arrest, on charge of rap
ing 13-year- old girl in that city last Sat-
urday. Williams drives an express wagon,
and the officers had no trouble in finding
and placing him within the arms of the
law. A reporter was on hand and learned
the particulars from Williams and his at
torney, F. G. Randall. 1t seems that Will
Jams has a brother living in the
country near Van Alstyne, who was seri-
ously hurL last week, and to whom he was
called Saturday afternoon. He says while
walking towards his brothers. house a
young girl happened along at the same
time He walked by her side for some dis
tance until a house was reached, which she
entered, saying her friends lived there.
Williams said the girl appeared very much
frightened while walking by him, for'which
he could not account. He sternly denied
the charge.
He is a man apparently fifty years oI
age. He has wife and child, who &C
c0mpanied him to Van Alstyne on the
afternoon train. Those who have known
Williams and have talked with him about
the matter feel convinced that the whole
thing is a bluff, and they speak well o.
