actions were made In New Orleans
futures to-day with points all over the
country at heavy improvements in
prices. Discovery Of the falslty Of the
cabIegrams created inextrieable confu-
sion, necessitating a suspension Of busi-
ness temporarily in order to enable
brokers and commission merchants TO
straighten their accounts with corre-
spondents.

then reported as advancing, and from

time, dispatches were received showing
an aggregate advance Of ss-6l. or a net
advance between $3.50 a. m. and 1910 q.
M, of sSM-6l, equal to about 2sac per
pound.
'Such an unheard Of advance created
the widest excitement, and before con-
Trajectory advIees could be obtained
large blocks of cotton exchanged hands.
That the interests Of all parties might
be protected. the board Of directors Of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
under the rules. ordered q suspension
Of business, and subsequently, under
proper legal advice. declared all trans
actions in cotton. both spot and futures,
based on the false quotations, null and
void. The justice of this position will
be apparent.
"All of the Liverpool dispatches
quoted came through the regular chan
mel, the Commercial News Bureau of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
which has been the news conductor of
the various southern exchanges for
more than u quarter Of century past
The explanation of the company is
that the changes reported were to be
construed as against the closing price
of yesterday, but as the invariable Gus
tom heretofore has been TO give all
changes in the Liverpool market COM
pared with the dispatch Immediately
preceding, the explanation 1t not only
unsatisfactory, but Indicates negligence
somewhere little short of criminal.
at will be readily understood, as be-
fore stated, the confusion created by
such an unheard of condition of affairs
was without precedent, and in view of
the uncertainties thereby 1t was
deemed by the board of directors as
proper and just to declare a suspension
Of the future business In order to- per-
nit brokers to remain in their offices
and attend without delay to adjusting
matters with their correspondents.
This is the sole reason for the tenn
porary suspension. which does not in
tho least involve the ability or capa-
biiity of the members OF the exchange
to care with ease and promptness for
any ana all business lntrusted to them.

ALREADY ACQUITTED.
Celebrated English Iurist Says that Dreyius
Is Sure OF Acquittal.

London, Aug. 19.-Mr. Thomas Ter
rcl, q. C., one of the leading jurists in
England. who has attended some of the
sessions of the Dreyfus courtmartial,
says:
There is an air of unhealthy about
the whole proceeding. Dreyfus alone
seems in earnest. No fierce conflict of
intellect occur between counsel. as
would be the case in England and. in
my opinion. the president of the court
has already decided the question in
favor Of acquittal. This appears to be
the case from his evident anxiety to
preserve an air of complete impartial
ity, and. though on occasions he is I'M
able to conceal his hostility to the de-
fence, his intention plainly is to acquit.
The courtmartial is as fair as a
special court sitting without legal as
sistance. can be. The opinions it will
form must be feeble, and its judgment
cannot have the least weight to the
legal mind. Much prejudice is con-
founded with patriotism on both sides.
