DAILY COTTON LETTER.


Following is the daily cotton letter OF
Atwood, Violet & Co. Of New York, by
private wire TO G. w. Branch * CO.:
Liverpool evidently expected a larger
than was reported by the New Orleans
Exchange yesterday. which was 1880
beles less than previous week. The
daily port movement for the balance OF
this month last year was quite large,
and our impression IS that we shall fall
under it nearly every day unless Mem
phis and towns stocks in Texas unload
freely, of which there are no present
indications. Memphis received 5000
bales to-day. and SHIPS 2.4OO bales. most
OF which will go to New Orleans and
be reported there on Monday therefore
merely exchanging stocks from one Visi-
BILE point to another, without adding 10
the supply. Liverpool cables have been
decidedly more encouraging. and as this
market has advanced about 4 points, II
should act as a stimulant thereon, Mon
day especially. as they improved Lot
to-day. although this market declined a
net yesterday Of points. Port receipts
on Monday last year were 9.OOO bales,
which we shall not equal. The amount
coming into sight for week ending Fri
day next last year was 5000 bales, ana
this we shall most likely not exceed.
and perhaps fall under. The Bland bill
will be before Mr.. Cleveland on Monday
or Tuesday. and should he veto II. which
is generally anticipated, 1t would give
all markets better tone. III years
PREVIOUS to this, the English spinner has
carried a very considerable amount OF
cotton in the way Of stocks, but, owing
to the difficulty Of financing, he now
taxes his cotton as his needs require,
and thus great deal of cotton that
goes TO Liverpool remains in the visible
supply at that point, owing 10 the facts
above mentioned. II therefore makes
the comparison of visible supply now or
American with former years decidedly
To the disadvantage Of the present sea-
son. because were spinners carrying
relatively IN the way OF surplus stocks
what they formerly carried, We would
have at least 2OO,OOO bales less OF visible
stocks in that market, thus making the
statistical position stronger than IT now
is. and has been throughout the season.
The New York Chronicle makes stocks
at thirty-one leading points In the South
last night according 10 their visible
weekly report, 10000 bales less tnan
last year. and yet 10 make this crop one
OF I. 1000 bales minimum, IL Is necessary
that the invisible towns and plantations
shall hold about 100000 bales more than
they held this time last year.

any trouble over the affair. Black said
he had relative through whom he Would
be able to prove an alibi.
On cross-examination Edwards said he
had concluded to make confession be-
cause his mother pleaded with him to do
SO, in the hope that he might escape prose-
cution for the crime. He wanted to leave
the prison with clear record.
Officer Talbot testified that he knew
Black well and met him almost daily
during the fall of 1892 and up TO the time
OF the Wachhorst robbery. During the
races in September, 1893, he met Black at
Agricultural Park and the latter treated
| him. Black spoke of a San francisco
diamond robbery in which he and Ed
wards had been engaged, and also told
the officer that he had been having good
time 'on the Wachhorst stutf." lie In
formed Talbot that if the latter were
''onto himself" ne might turn many
good tricks.
Talbot said be had been in the habit OF
"joshing" Black great deal. as be knew
him very well, and that he placed little
importance on what he said.
The prosecution here rested their case.
The defense then called to the witness
stand, NJ. A. Black, the prisoners uncle,
who conducts carriage factory on Mis-
sion street, San Francisco. The witness
testified that during the week embracing
January 81, 1893, the prisoner was in his
employ, and his books showed that on
the 3Ist of January lthe date of the Wach-
horst robbery he gave his nephew half
dollar, as he was short of pocket money.
Black had worked for witness off and on
at various times, and was thus employed
at the time of the Wachhorst robbery.
Consulting his shop book, the witness
said that durino the week before and the
one following January 81, 1898, Black
worked eight days.
James E. Broderick, timekeeper in NJ. A.
Blacks factory, testified that on the 3lst OF
January, 1888, Black was in his uncle S
employ, and also on the following day.
lie ithe witness) had kept the books OF
the company, and made the entries OF the
mems time. He then read from the time
book to show on what days the prisoner
was employed there. He quit work on
the 4th day of February. The witness
said he could not be mistaken as TO these
dates.
Harry Black was in San Francisco dur
ing January, and his uncle instructed
witness TO put him at work, as he was
idle and short Of money.
man named Jones, who worked in
Blacks factory. corroborated the testi-
mony of the latter's uncle and book
keeper Broderick as to the defendant
having been employed at the factory on
the last day of January, 1898.
The mother of Horace Black was pres
ent to testify that her son was at home in

on that night.
