Galveston, Tex, September 29.-When the
Liverpool market began to climb today the
bears and operators were ordered to buy
or sell according to the wishes of their GUS
toners When it was found that all trades
were called off there was general relief
from both sides, the bulls because they
were afraid of not being able to collect and
the bears because they were afraid of not
being able to pay
Because of the big advance in the Liver
pool cotton market today, afterwards dis
covered to be incorrect, cotton factors
rushed kilograms to their buyers in interior
towns raising the limit for spot cotton and
it is said a good many purchases were
made at prices the real market did not JUS
tify. A sale of one lot Of 1500 bales at
Houston at fifty points more than the true
market price is reported. The banks re-
ceived kilograms from their correspond
ents from many points in the interior call
ing for currency. A prominent banker
stated This evening that over a quarter of
a million dollars in bills were shipped from
here this afternoon While trading on the
New Orleans cotton exchange was called
off 1t Is not likely that many of the spot
transactions will be called off.

BODY FOUND IN
FIVE NILE CREEK
Proved to be Frank C.. Jones
of Daphne.
WAS IN AN ISOLATED SPOT
A Bundle of Papers Found Lying on the
Bank Led to Identifc ation-The
Man Was Probably
Murdered
WAS IN AN ISOLATED SPOT

The body of Frank c. Jones of Daphne,
Aia.' was found in Five Mile creek yester-
day afternoon near Hughes Siding station
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
On the bank of the stream was found thu
dead mans coat, his hat and bundle con-
tanning papers. 1t was in a wild and iso-
lated spot where the body was found and
no one seems to have ever seen or heard
II the man before.
Coroner Dallas went out to Investigate
last night. He says he examined the body
by a Pickering lantern light but could not
tell how the man came to his death. There
is a large bruise in the throat which looks
very much like a wound from a knife and
there is also a cash under the left eye. Mr..
Dallas says the light was so dim and the
country so rough that he could not tell
whether the bruises were from knife or
from falling into the creek. While some
hold to the theory that the man was muir
dered, others are of the opinion that he had
laid down to rest and had fallen in the
creek and drowned.
Marks of Identification
In the bundle of papers found on the
papers addressed to Frank c. Jones,
Daphne, Ala. All of the letters were from
Marseiles and Ransom, ILL.,, and were
written by relatives of the dead man.
There were several communications from
the pension department showing that Mr..
Jones was a pensioner He was a private
in Company A, Fifty-thrd Regiment, Hill
nos Volunteers. His colonel was Congress
mann Hit of Illinois. The dead man had
evidently lived at Marseilles, ILL.,, and had
gone to Baldwin county, Alabama to enter
land and engage in farming. In none of
the letters is there any reference whatever
to his trip to this part of the state He
came among strangers and died without
any one knowing him. His relatives were
notified of the death.
As it was too late to hold an inquest last
night Coroner Dallas empanelled jury
and will conduct an examination TINS
morning.

LOCAL BROKERS ESCAPED
Were Not Caught on the Fake Liver
pool Bulletin

Birmingham brokers were among the
few who escaped being closed up on ac-
count of the 'doctored" cotton quotations
from Liverpool
The buyers all steered clear of cotton and
the exchange was not visibly affected by
the sudden rise of IS points, which after
wards proved to be fake.
Reports show that in other cities every
body was taken in by the false quotations
and in several places the exchanges were
closed.
In Birmingham cotton has never been
favorite stock on which to speculate and
yesterday was not an exception to the
rule
The buying in other lines was regular, no
one seeming to notice the immense strides
taken in Liverpool cotton. Those Who did
notice it were either expecting a sudden
drop or We're too wary to be caught by
the fake reports.

AN OFFICIAL INQUIRY
Attorney General Appoints Agent to
Look Up Talulah Matter

Washington, September 29.-The attorney
general has dispatched special agent or
the department of justice to Louisiana to
make an official inquiry into the killing OF
the FIVE Italians at Talulah some months
ago. The last word from the governor OF
the state indicated that he could make no
report on the subject until the grand jury
meets next January and looked into The
killing, and the department of justice
therefore was obliged to act in order that
the material may be had for congress at
the approaching session.

A PANIC AMONG
COTTON BROKERS
CONTINUED From First Page,

the country on heavy improvements in
prices Discovery of the falsity of the ca
Diagrams created inextricable confusion
neeesstatlng a suspension of business tenn
porarily in order to enable brokers and
commission merchants to straighten their
accounts with correspondents.
Between the hours of $40 and S:35 a. m.
five cablegrams were received showing be-
tween 2:03 and 2;4 p. M, Liverpool time,
continuous decline of 51A-64, or say In all
to 12-64s. The Liverpool market was then
reported as advancing and from S:55 a. m.
to 1910 a. M. New Orleans time dispatches
were received showing an aggregate ad-
vance of S6-64s or a net advance between
$50 a. m. and 1910 a. an. of sS13-64s, equal
to about 211 cents per pound.
Such an unheard of advance created the
widest excitement, and before eontradic-
tory advices could be obtained large blocks
of cotton changed hands. That the inter-
ests of all parties might be protected, the
board of directors of the New Orleans cot
ton exchange under the rules ordered sus-
pension of business and subsequently under
proper legal advice declared all transact
tions in cotton, both spot and futures based
on the false quotations, null and void.
All of the Liverpool dispatches quoted
came through the regular channel, the
Commercial News Bureau of the Western
Union Telegraph company which has been
the news conductor for the various south
ern exchanges for more than a quarter of
a century past. The explanation of the
company is that the changes reported were
TO be construed against the closing price
yesterday but the invariable custom here
tofore has been to give all changes in the
Liverpool market compared with the dis
patch Immediately preceding, the explana
ton is not only unsatisfactory but indicates
negligence somewhere, little short of
criminal.
1t will be readily understood as before
stated the confusion created by such an
unheard of condition of affairs was without
precedent and in view of the uncertainties
created thereby it was deemed by the
board of directors as proper and just to
declare a suspension of the future business
in order to permit brokers to remain in
their offices and attend without delay TO
adjusting matters with their .correspon-
dents.
This is the sole reason for the temporary
suspension which does not in the least in
volve the ability or capacity of the men,
hers of this exchange to care with ease
and promptness for any and all business
entrusted to them.

at the advanced figures, but were of course
unsuccessful, New Orleans closing quickly
