Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Aug 15.-The Suns cotton re- view says:
 Cotton fell to points, recovered and advanced 1 to 3 points; lost this and de- clined ito points, closing quiet, with sales of 5000 bales. New Orleans advanced 1 to 2 points, lost this and declined to points and then rallied slightly; Port receipts were week and 433 bales this day last year; total since January l. 1,395, 900 bales. against 1, ,533, 900 for the same time last year. Spot cot ton here was quiet and unchanged, with sales of 215 bales for spinning In Manches- ter yarns were quiet and unchanged, ac- cording to the official dispatch to the ex- change; cloths were in moderate demand: The demand in the dry goods trade is well maintained. Liverpool declined 1l2 to 2 points and closed quiet, but steady, with spot sales of 12000, at easier prices, though without quotable change.
 Today's features. The speculation dropped down to very moderate proportions and the fluctuations were within correspondingly restricted range. There was a decline early in the day owing, to the prices in Liverpool and the report that Neill Bros. has issued a bearish circular, together with some pri- yate advices in regard to the crop outside of Texas Then came rally on covering by shorts and rather steadier tone in Liv- erpool, where the spot sales were IF, 900 bales, and unfavorable reports from Tex as where there was no rain of any i'm within the next twenty-four hours. Rain is needed in the southern and southwestern sections of Texas There was a falling off in the speculation, however, and the local, southern and continent selling caused a small decline before the close. Most op- orators are holding off for weather develop ments. Very heavy rains fell in Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas and some be- in some sections, though rain appears to have been needed in some other portions of these states.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-The map showed no frostin spring wheat sections for last night. and Although wheat prices declined yester- day, 1hey settled still lower at the open ing today in the failure of the freeze to ma teriafize Some genius started a rumor about half hour after the opening that the weather bureau had published spe- cial Bulletin warning the approach of cold wave in the northwest. Without wait ing to ascertain the truth of the report the crowd bought freely, causing a sharp ad- vance, over 19c. Investigation proved that no bulletin of. the kind mentioned had been sent out and in the selling that took place portion of the advance lost. During the last hour talk of a good cash demand for shipment saved the market and helped prices up again. September wheat opened at 65eac, sold between 653s and 6634c c, closing at 6Gss. z149p5sc higher than yesterday. In the sample lot department prices averaged firm, without much change from yesterday.
 Corn closed firm today, the motive ap- bearing to be derived from wheat The early trading was devoid of strength buy CTS finding it difficult to muster courage in the face of everything that has been said of the fine crop and big yield. The Cincin- nati Price Current reported that moisture was needed, but rain feel last night just where it was said to be needed: The bogus frost predictions circulated this morning extended some assistance to values but when the report was found to be erroneous they edged off for a time, finally ralying with those of wheat. September corn opened at 26zc, sold betWeen that and SSc. closing

HE USED q WINCHESTER.
Joe Lewis Attempted fi,o Wholesale mur.
der of enc Family of Eugene WY.

TIE fourth district of thiscounty
came near being the scene Of a ter
rible tragedy Thursday of lastweek
Joe Lewis, who had been employed
abouttheiarmofMr Eugene Wyly
tanked up on busthead whisky, and
for short while after luncheon he
amused himself by smashing and
destroying the furniture and every
thing that came in his way
Then seizing n Winchester rifle
he left the house and seated himself
on the yard fence. Mr.. Wylywent
TO the door to locate him, and as he
did so Lewis proceeded to try his
skill as a marksman.
The first shot barely missed Mrs.
WHY, who was standing near her
husband, and her little child mar
rowly escaped being a victim of the
second shot The third shot was
fred at Mr.. J. w. Saunders, who
heard the shooting and hurried to
the rescue. The fourth, which was
his last las the rifle only contained
four loaded cartridges) was fired
without injury to any one.
The marksman was then secured
by Messrs. Wyly and Saunders and
they turned him over to Sheriff w.
A. Lashlee, who lodged him in the
county Jail.
From the description given, anc
remarks made by him when on his
drunken sprees, Lewis is supposed
to be the man wanted at Bowling
Green, KY, for murder. There is
a large reward offered for his cap
ture and delivery to the authorities
at Bowling Green, and the sheriff
started with Lewis for that place
