Cotton Letter

Cotton Letter
 (Fairchild & Hobson's Cotton Letter to H
 D. Cothran & Co.)
 New Orleans, June 30.-With very much disappointing Liverpool, that market closed 243 points down on futures, though spots were advanced 1-16 sales of 5000 bales with the Chronicle report better than ex- pected, together with a rumor afloat in the northern market to the effect that New Orleans bulls had agreed to a settle ment, New York opening about IS points lower than last night Our market follow ing suit to the extent of 23 points on Au- gust, 9.70, and points on October S3O When it was learned here that the early weakness at New York was attributed to local operators agreeing to settle, prom inent operators here nailed vhe rumor as false by going on record as being willing to accept 5000 July at 10 cents from anvi New York bear. This declaration had the. effect of causing a sharp advance of 9 points in August, that month selling up tos9 .95c, which improvement, however was only to be followed by a decline just as great on the posting of Texas weather showing beneficial rains at a number of points, also on profit taking over Sunday which was ndulged in to quite coSs:j- erable extent. Judging from todays weatn- CT map, improving weather is to be ex- pected in the central and southeastern sec tions of the belt, while in Texas, promise of rain is noted in low pressure, but r.A. crop having suffered severely already from excessive moisture, it is feared that with the return of hot forcing sunshine the plant may suffer all the more from be- ing scalded, and for this reason buying cotton is recommended on all breaks. With the opening of next Monday, we enter a new month, and with the coming of Tues days crop bulletin, to be followed by the government bureau on the 10th wild and cratic markets may be looked for. Spots unchanged.

 Selling Was Much in Evi-

JULY DROPPED 23 POINTS

New York; June 30.-In a way it was a day of reckoning for overloaded traders in Liverpool and New Orleans cotton ex- changes. The stupendous rise of 40 points on July yesterday a fitting cap stone to the most remarkable advance on record, was followed this morning by drop of g points. The later options showed core spending records from the perpendicular uplift of the past week. Liquidation was the main feature of the speculation though short selling was much in favor early in the session. Crop reports were still very bullish.
 In the last hour the market was quiet with values near the bottom on realizing by last nights sellers July closed 91, then rallied to 9.76. August opened off points at 9.46 then fell to 933, advanced to 9.49 and then auctuated within a range of 10 points.

TIE ADMIRAL IN DETROIT
Dewey Reviews a Naval Parade
Given in His Honor.
The Michigan City Outdoes Itself in
Its Tribute to the Victor of Ma-
Mia Bay-Hundreds of Craft Greet
His Vessel With Shrieking Whis-
tIes-A Large Civic Procession.

DETROIT, June 9.-Admiral and Mrs
Dewey started from the Russell House foI
the naval parade this morning with an
escort of thousands of citizens, who
crowded around his carriage. Incidently
there was an official escort for the Deweys
but it was lost in the great crowd that
accompanied them to the dock. The parade
looked like great disorganzed mob and
the police were utterly incapable of con-
trolling the thousands of people.
When the Admiral disappeared from
view with Mrs. Dewey into the recesses
OF the huge steamer on which they were
10 review the naval parade. the cheers
died away. but when a few minutes later
he appeared on the bridge of the Tashmoo,
they broke out afresh The Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey were on the bridge of the
vessel. His four starred flag was flung
TO the breeze at the top of the mast.
The Admiral stood dOffing his hat to
the crowds on the wharves and steam
boats. Everybody was cheering. The
scene was majestic one. AS far as the
eye could reach there was nothing but
people. The streets leading down to the
river we're massed with humanity.
The wharves were crowded to the dan
ger point. The tops of the river factories
were black with people. Flags flew from
every window, bunting streamed from,
every roof
In midstream was anchored the U. S. s..
Michigan, flags of England and America
streaming from her bow. over the top OF her
masts to the stern. Lower down was an
chored the United States cutter Fessenden
In gala dress. Still farther below were the
steam yachts, all in holiday attire. The
ferryboats were standing out in midstream,
massed with humanity. Small pleasure
craft piled to and fro with shrill whistle
shrieks. 1t was a scene of animation and
color.
When the Tashmoo moved majestically
out into the river every factory and steam
boat whistle for miles up and down the
eleven miles of Detroit's river front broke
loose in a pandemonium Of shrieks. The
Admiral stood bareheaded as the vessel
passed gradually to the head Of the parade.
The boats were bound for the Flats" a
great delta thirty miles from Detroit.
that thrusts itself into Lake St Clair and
on which hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars have been expended in clubhouses,
hotels, and cottages. The return was
made shortly before . this afternoon, the
reception accorded Admiral Dewey this
morning being repeated as he rode to his
hotel.
The reception accorded the Admiral in
the civic parade this afternoon was one
continuous ovation. Mrs. Dewey came in
for a share of the applause. The parade
was marshaled by Brig. Gen. Henry Duff
field. The procession comprised 5000 per-
sons and took one hour in passing the
reviewing stand.

CADETS IN THE SADDLE.
West Pointers Give n Fine Exhibi-
tiOn Of HOrsemanship.

WEST POINT. n. Y. June 9-Compara-
lively few people ever get a chance to
see the West Point cadets ride, except
in their light artillery practice. which
consists of little more than pell NELL gal
looping even at its most exciting stages.
Ii would be a revelation to most people
to know that they can ride with a dash
and daring that would win the admiration
of a cowboy.
Nobody who saw the exhibition of oar
ing and dexterity in the riding hall yester-
day afternoon will ever doubt that asser-
ton. II was such an exhibition as is NOT
seen elsewhere, and one which more
, than once tested the ability of the spec
tators to look on at dangerous fea<s al
most as much as it tested the nerve OF
the men themselves to perform them.
There were sixteen cadets in the first
squadron and sixteen In the second. They
each had the floor of the riding ball in
turn, and which of the two did the best
1t is not for a layman to say. each was
SO remarkably good. But it was when
the purely military movements were
over and the rough riding exploits took
their place that he marvel of the thing
took lold of the people.
At times the audience broke out into
enthusiastic applause at some particularly
long and graceful leap from galloping
horse to the ground and back again to
the slippery seat but for the most part
this feature of the exhibition was alto
gether so thrilling and exciting that peo-
pie forgot to applaud because they were
too busy holding their breath. 1t WAS the
end and climax of the weeks Academy
exhibition, and was voted by all who saw
it to be the most surprising illustration
of what cadet life means.
