York Chronicle confirmed in a degree the damage complained of by the press and private wire reports. We are tonight only 8 points from Liverpool on October com pared with difference of 14 points on Thursday evening. They will probably make an effort to regulate the situation by advancing materially on Monday morning, a thing which will have to be done to sustain our advance of today. July having sold at 9.50 today, reached within nine points of the highest-959-of the season. We close at the highest of the day with the curb still shade better. Spots firm; middling 93s.

PRICES WENT UP 25 POINTS

New York June 23-The market for cot ton futures opened steady in tone, with prices 1 point higher to points lower later being in sympathy with unfriendly closing Liverpool cables a less bullish Chronicle review than looked for and war news from China. Far from encouraging bear speculation. however. the decline was used by local shorts as an opportunity to cover. Soon crop disaster reports were pouring in from nearly every section of the belt, while the west and south fairly flooded the market with buying orders.
 Prices advanced 25 points in a less num- Der of minutes before this demand showed the least sign of abating. Wall street and other outside interests were heavy pur- chasers of the new crop options. Shorts were panic stricken and in wild stampede, making frantic efforts to cover. Holders steadily gained confidence and could be induced to sell freely only around the top prices. Nine cents for August brought out several large blocks which the market absorbed speedily.

THE CLARK CASE.

The senate committee on privileges
and elections has made the only report
that it was possible to present in the
case of Senator Clark, of Montana;
that is, his election is declared null and
void on account Of briberies and cor
rupt practices and unlawful methods.
1t is shown that Senator Clark eX-
pended not less than s1S9000 to secure
his election to the senate an amount
wholly out of any proportion TO the
monetary return he might expect 10 re-
ceiyeS from the Office directly or indi-
rectly. The senatorial seat was a place
he coveted, and it is one well worthy
the ambition Of any American citizen
He had great wealth and money was
not an object to be considered in seeur-
5 Ing the place. His opponent in his own
party was also a rich and influential
man. and this stimulated the use of
funds in legitimate aid illesitimate
ways. Money was poured out freely;
principles We're naught and legislators
We're only ilgurss TO b. moved. either
adroitly or by open negotiation. The
whole affair was shameful and the
election presented a sorry spectacle OF
corruption. Now that it has been I'M
covered and analysed and properly To-
Gated, there is but one course for the
senate 70 pursue. that q endorsing the
action Of the committee. But action
should not stop there. The case ought
to be taken up in Montana and the
guilty parties punished. The state
should purge its record. The entire
nation is Interested in rebuking this
crime in the stronsests possible manner
