Houston. Friday. June ~,


Business was very light In all cotton
markets today. the sales for future dcliv
cry at New York and New Orleans being
cas- than for some time past. Liverpool
futures closed AT u decline of l-6ttl's-Sid.
and spots were lowered l-32d Oh all grades
below good middling Spot sales at Liver
pool were 10000 bales today. and for the
past week amounted "a $1,000. or 1000 more
than durnS the corresponding week last
year Tho American markets were steady
throughout tina SESSION and New York
closed 4 to ~ points up the greatest I'D
vance heinp on the summer months.
The future or cation prices seems TO
depend altogoihcr upon the weather To-
days advance was no doubt brought
about by the fear that prospects arc not
so bright throughout tho cotton belt as
the New York bears seem To believe. Frcs-
ent prices are based on n belief that the
next crop will he the largest ever known,
and arc low even II II 10000. 900 bale crop
were assured. Bu, with two of the worst
months yet to pass through. with
drouth In many sections of Texas. and
with complaints of dcprcdating insects
and cool nights in mississippi Arkansas

Lesher for Congress.

The Democratic Convention on
Monday nominated John V. Lesher
for Congress. Mr.. Lesher is prom
ising young man, Of sterling quail
ties and an upright disposition.
He was educated at Bucknell Uni
versity and has during his course
been considered one of the best
football players in the state. He
is el-headed fellow, an able de-
batter and were it not for his being u
Democrat and free silverite, he
might some day win fame in our ma
tional legislative halls. We hope,
however he may some day change
his mind and be bestowed with the
honor he so richly merits.
