Would you believe 1t, he lays the blame of
the dread disease upon rapid transit?
A number of the most prominent sur

John Doe Warrants for the Men Who
Fought With Farmers Near

swore out warrants for the arrest of the
chicken thieves who engaged in a pitched
battle early Tuesday morning with the
farmers near Hickman's Mills and escaped.
The warrants We're issued by Justice Krue-

this city. and the deputy marshals went
there last night to serve the John Doe
warrants on the men if they can be found
there.

HAVEN & SHOUTS LETTER.

New York, August ESPECIALLY lin
tense dizziness has prevailed III the cot
ton market the past week, with the
range of fluctuations narrow, the under
tone strong and the tendency of prices
upward While needed rains have fallen
in some portions of Texas, the beneficial
results have been more tnan offset by
heavy precipitation east of the Miss
issippi, where dry weather and sun
shine are greatly needed. In this last
named section the opinion seems to be
general that, while the plant looks well
to the casual observer, the supefabund-
ance OF moisture has caused an abnormal
growth of stock with Il corresponding
lack of fruitage. 1t is becoming evident
that in the Atlantic States especially, the
crop is spotted, and this is notably true III
the Carolinas, where some counties re-
port tiattering promise, while immedi-
ately adjoining counties report from
poor to very bad conditions. Thoman
has issued Il supplemental or interim re-
port. in which he gives the percentage
of deterioration since August 1st as 1.Ol
per cent. making the general average at
this time ola per cent. lr this report
is accepted rs correct and an allowance
is made for q reduction in acreage of >
per cent from last year. the general out
look at this time would Indicate produc-
ton of about the same number OF bales
as in 1897. The trade, however. does.
not for Il moment lose sight of the fact
that the crop is far from made, and
upon the weather conditions for the next
few weeks will depend the making OF
Il crop possibly in excess or that OF
last year, or considerably short of it.
Taking the outlook as a whole. we are
likely to continue to have weather mar
ket, with prices varying from strong to
weak, as the weather map indicates UNI
favorable or favorable climatic conditions
in the cotton belt. With normal weather
from now until the first of October it
seems to us that sufficient cotton will
be raised to cause depression in the
market, and this outcome seems the
more probable when we take into consid-
Grafton the very unsatisfactory condition
of the textile trade in the East, and the
fairly large visible supply Of cotton to be
carried over to the new crop year, begin
ming the first Of September next. The
fact that the trade generally is expecting
the governments report of the condition
on August the 1st, to be published next
Wednesday, to make II rather bulliSh
showing, has been more of Il supporting
factor to the market during the past few
days than the unfavorablc reports from
the South. Should the market show Il
further advance prior to- or Immediately
following the publication Of this report,
we think the more distant options
would probably prove profitable short
sale, more especially as the expected re-
mort will deal with conditions NOT only
as they were some two weeks ago, but
conditions already known and fully dis
counted by the trade.

teral. normal and sentimental.
All uncertainties which suggested
themselves early in the summer have
been gradually dissipntcd The wheat
crop is evidently by far the largest OF
record. The weeks rain in the corn
belt has gone far TO remove fears regard
ing the corn crop. The only doubt about
the cotton crop is whether the world can
consume II, even NJ the low prices pre-
vailing. The conviction Is growing
that even with good wheat crops there
will be found good market FOR our
surplus crop, owing TO the large de-
pleiion OF reserves Of old wheat tn
meet last years needs. The foreign
demand for wheat and flour and even
for corn continues good. II is now
couclusivcly shown that there is no
cause for uneasiness over the effect on
the money market of the Government
loan. The activity in the loan trade
is one OF several signs Of industrial ana
trade revival which together with the
of crops is expected to give
largely extended uses of money. There
