day afternoon by the Warren eleven by q
score of sS to in one-sided game War.
rem made 10 points in the first half, and
rolled up IS points in the second, the law
ycrs failing to put up much of an argu-
ment. The Warren team worked all sorts
of tricks with comparative ease, and tried
their players in different positions
Tho Law School at no time threatened
tho Warren goal. The eleven was deficient
in team work. and their q interlcrences
went for naught They rarely made gains
with the ball, and could not prevent tho
rushing OF the Warren team. Two Of the
Law SCHOOL team however, plPyed fine
games. They were Frazer and Helllgman.
Nearly every tackle for the lawyers was
made by Frazier, who followed tho ball
closely. lie also was skillful runner

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.

Cotton was easy this.morning, Liverpool not
being up TO expectations, hut the crop cables
were regarded as very favorable
The sales Of spot cotton in LIVER ool con-
tinued disappointingly small and offered but
slight encouragement to the bulls on this side.
Today's sales aggregated 5000 balos. Futures
were lower on the near positions and prices
were unchanged on the distant months. The
port receipts were about 5000 balos.
There is some talk about manipulation and
possible corner in the July delivery in our
market, but the best judges place little conf
dence in it. While the demand for spot cot
ton is very active and freight room is en-
gagged some little time ahead. there is still a
fairly large stock of cotton on hand.
Trade in wheat was small ut the opening.
There was good selling and only moderate
buying by scalpers. While there was good
deal Of b,,ll news from Now York, trade con.
tinued thin and little was done. There was
not quite so much enthusiasm on the bull side
as there has been and II predicted that
July would sell at 20 before it touched 70.
In London this morning the whoat cargoes
were firm. The English country markets
were partially Cd higher and Liverpool was
steady but lower.
Corn and oats were dull today, but the
tendency seemed TO be toward lower prices
There was little trading in provisions. Pork
was fairly strong, hut the other commodities
were fractionally lower.

Afterward the articles were transferred

turned them. The suit Is to recover SOL

admitted that the company never agreed
to pay him storage.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Cairns testi-
mony MIR Owen counsel for the defend

fendant company had knowledge that the

Judge Douglas granted the motion as

without pail, by Judge Lewis this morn

advance OF 2-l6 to il3 0-l6. The Americans.
under the lead Of Louisville, Erie and the
Wand, rblts, showed gains Of Is To J-9 per
cent, and business in all the markets was
little more active The foreign houses IN New
York bought about 5000 shares OF stock today,
principally Louisville.
The market today opened off trifie in
spots, but little activity WAS shown. The sell
ing OF Sugar was very good. and rs tho buy
ing was regarded insignificant, many OF
the conservative people looked for temporary
lower prices for the stock. No one seemed to
doubt. however. that the stock would ulti-
mately sell higher and for that reason the
trading was restricted.
The Goulds were very inactive today but
were wol supported. and it was believed that
some Of the insiders had turned buyers. Inc
Grangers were quite strongly held and Rock
Island was particularly firm on the buying by
Flower.
In fact, all the selling seemed TO be due 10
the fear that the Morgan Cuban resolution
might come up for consideration, ana that
the Cuban policy of Mckinley would be more
aggressive than that Of Cleveland.

unquestionably Chicago Cas- for while 1t is

chased il at all the fractions below 81, and
