Cotton Letter

New York, May 22-Great dullness and a gradually sinking market have marked this week in cotton. The decline has been of some importance and has fully justified the expectation that in view of the unsatis- factory condition of general business and with the strength of the statistical position as the sole support to prices, some reces- sion was almost a foregone conclusion. To- day the market was very dull. Liverpool held her own on future quotations but the sales of spot cotton in that market were again most discouragng, and the demand for local shot caused the market here to open a few points higher, but when there wants had been supplied prices eased again. The net change for the day was trif1ing.
 August opened at 7.17, advanced to 7.19, de- clined to 715 and closed at 7.1647T, with the tone of the market steady. The market in the near future will probably continue narrow, furnishing favorable opportunities for scalping operations, but little induce ments for a serious campaign either side. The fluctuations promises to be gov erned at present by the weather reports from the south and the takings of actual cotton by consumers from day to day. The progress of the new crop will, of couse, be an all important factor in determining the ultimate couse of prices. In spite of the growing optism of our local bears, we do not think it's condition at present can truth fully be said to be more than fair. But the southern adviees report a steady improve ment and d week or two of beneficial wealth. CT may work wonders. No improvement can be noted in general business conditions nor in any of those outside influences which have effect upon cotton. Without some serious set back to the new crop, the chances seem to us to favor lower prices
 The summer months might if shrswdly manipulated, ir if business at the manufac- turing centers was to revive sharply sell at very high prices, but we regard it as far more likely from the present outlook, that the world will make the supply, small as it undoubtedly is, prove sufficient for it's wants without disturbing values violently.

in Wall Street.

New York, May 22--The conditions in the days stock market were not essentially dif- ferent from those prevailing for several days past.
 There was marked undercurrent of strength through the whole list and the ten- dency of prices was uninterruptedly upward with the exception of the Coalers, but this failed to incite any outside participation in the market and the dealings were small and most of them in a few active stocks. The market wholly lacked breadth, many stocks in the usually active list having not a sin gle transaction to their credit. Sugar also continued to be neglected, the dealings in the stock being quite ostentatiously curtai- ed. Traders seem to have made up their minds not to see any cause for alarm in the Cuban question and disregarded the news on the subject in a manner that offers @ strong contrast to their views on former occasions. They also attach a large de- gree of importance to runor circulat ted in very explicit form that the supreme court will hand down decision on Monday next in the so-ealled Nebraska maximum freight rate and interstate commerce cases and taht the decision in the former case would be in favor of the railroads. This case is of importance to the Changers and the be- lief that the decision will be in their favor materially strengthened the group and made it the leader of the advance. The buoyancy of the general speculation on the London stock exchange aleo inparted con- idence to the local market. The announce- ment of an additional shipment of gold for next Tuesday of $50O,0oo was without mark ed effect on the market and the statement of a decrease of $232,G77 in the gross earnings of Northwestern for April, did not affect the strength in the Granger group.
 Chicago Gas continues to receive inside support and tended upward. The Gould shares reacted somewhat from the strength of yesterday, Manhattan and Western Union selling off sharp fraction in the re- action, and failed of subsequent recovery. Many stocks failed to connlete recovery to the high point and last prices were gener- ally a small fraction below that of the net gains of the day. The extreme decline in New Jersey Central was 2h and in Della ware and Hudson 1A. Leather preferred rose 11A, with a slight reaction. Baltimore and Ohio and Rocking Valley gained large fractions. The characteristic of the market for the -week has been its underlying strength on the face of unmitigated dull ness and almost apathy. the outside inter- est being small and with some very serious drags upon 1t. The developments in the Cuban question were apparently not as fearful as traders had supposed last week. and when President McKinley's naessape was presented to congress Monday 1t had the effect rather of strengthening the market. The government bonds disnlayed some little irregularities, but the variations were extremely narrow and trading was very light. The total sales of stocks today were 54.514 shares, including New York Cen tral 14,000.

New York, July 9.-The Herald says
that it is able TO state or competent
authority that Martin Thorn, in adj
dition to the statements attributed to
him in the confession given out at
police headquarters last night. made a
complete acknowledgement of his
connection with the crime for which
he and Mrs. Mack have been indicted
by the grand jury.
The information given TO the Herald
indicates clearly that Thorn's one con-
Germ after his arrest was the prOtec-
ton of Mrs. Mack
I am perfectly willing TO die, -
Thorn told the detectives. but I don t
want anything to happen to her. Gull
densuppe went to the Woodside
House." said Thorn, and met Mrs.
Mack in the front yard. He had a
presentiment that everything was not
right for ne turned to Mrs. Mack and
said: Augusta, | think there is some
put up job here"
why, William" Thorn said Mrs.
Mack replied. there's nothing of the
kind. I don't see what should make
you think that"
We'll, all right" Guldensuppe re-
piled as he started into the house.
After the body was ready Thorn
called Mrs. Mack upstairs and the two
packed the two sections of the trunk
in the oil cloth
Mrs. Mack, Thorn said, helped him
dispose of these packages, but she had
nothing TO do with the head, nor did
she know what he did with it.
Thorn denied again positively and
emphatically that Mrs. Mack had any
thing to do with the killing of Gulden-
suppe.
The Herald further says that John
Gotha betrayed Thorn through no mo-
tive of public duty, but because he
feared that Thorn intended to kill him
because of Gotha's knowledge of the
murder
1t is alleged that in arranging With
GOtha for the meeting on Tuesday
night Thorn had a plan to lure his
quandam friend TO Morris park, which
is little frequented at night, and there
kill him in such a way as TO carry the
impression that Gotha had committed
