SPOT COTTON SCARCE.
The Stock ON Hand Less Than 200, 900
Bales.

Spot cotton in the south is very scarce,
the result Of over expectation during the
past season. The stock at the ports and
at interior towns Is so small that the
southern mills it is said. will not be able
to get a sufficient supply to keep running
during the remainder Of the season.
The stock on hand is less than 200. 900
bales. OF which about one half is in the
south. Some Of the New England mills
are short. while southern mills are al
ready beginning to buy in the New York
market and bring cotton back to the
south.
The Carolina mills are more embarrassed
by this shortage than others. and the
sales OF spot cotton at Charleston, TO spin
ners have been unusually large during the
past week. The mills In Georgia are also
said to be short Of supply. and It is re-
ported that an Augusta mill bought 2,OO0
bales In Memphis within the last few
days There was a shipment of 1870 bales
from Savannah 20 Augusta spLnners last
week
The cause OF the scarcity Is the unpre-
cedeuted exports. which are 1922. 56i bales,
which are l,4063H I'm excess Of last year =
exports up to this time The amount of
cotton taken by southern mills, S52, 900
bales indicates that they are about $1,000
short OF years supply aud this shortage
is about one third OF the quantity Il will
take 60 keep them running until the middle
OF September
The advance in prices during the last
few days is an indication that holders ex-
pect better prices ana that the demand Is
steadily increasing for spot cotton.

DYER'S JURY COULDN'T AGREE.
FIGHT THOUGHT HIM GUILTY AND
FOUR DID NOT.

The Jury Discharged After n Night
and Part of Day I'm the Jury
Room and "a MIstriaI DeeIared-The
Case Aroused Much Interest on Ac-
count OF the Circumstances Of the
Killing and Efforts to Secure an

The case against George H. Dyer for the

The jury was out the whole Of Friday

and during the afternoon reported that
there was no hope Of an agreement. The
Judge then dismissed the jury, and de-
clared it a mistrial
It is understood that the jury stood
eight to four. Eight were in favor Of
verdict Of guilty of murder, while four
were divided as to whether a verdict for
a lesser crime should be rendered, or an
acqulttal
The case has awakened a great deal OF
interest, having been on trial for the first
time in the superior court for the last
three days
Dyer was held for the crime Of murder
on an indictment from the grand jury.
There had been a previous attempt to get
an Indictment but Il failed. as there was
not sufficient evidence brought out to war
rant 1t, according to the opinions of the
grand Jurors The trial before the cor
oner just after the killing also failed to
establish the guilt Of Dyer the evidence
being that the man was murdered during
a general free-for- all fight the night be-
fore Christmas. when the participants in
fy accurately as to the man who hit the
fatal blow that took the life of William
Titcomb. With this turn of the case the
interest will be increased.

borne yesterday morning. Il was decided

ers and the directors Of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway
Company acted upon the issue Of bonds
and increase Of stock in strict conformity
with the law and the published notices Of
the meeting.
There has been no important change in
officers elected a month ago. Except to
fiji vacancies caused by designations, it
is stated that the present officers will con
tinue until the annual election next year.
1t is not unlikely, however, that some
changes in the officers and directors will
be made
1t is Impossible TO tell yet what changes
there will be in the arrangement Of the
tracks. a conference between the street
and lane committee of council and the
railroad will be held this week to discuss
the matter. a plan has been decided up
on by the street railway company and will
be submitted to the council committee 1t
coutemplates important changes in the sys-
TEN, both in the tracks and in the running
of the cars. The plan is 10 abandon por-
tons of some of the present lines and to
secure rights Of way through a number of
that parallel lines, so far as is practicable
without interference with travel may be
done away with. The changes in tracks
while il Is desirable to reach an agree
ment with the city as to use Of certain
streets, will not be made until fall. Some
few repairs have been made to the tracks
since the consolidation, but practically
they are in the same condition as before.
Mr.. Parsons said at the time the con-
solidation of the lines was announced that
Savannah would be given a first class
street car service. The adoption of a sys-
tenn OF transfers Is the first step that has
been made In that direction.
