# - tf sEs-t AdA Y VIOLENT CHANGES s,.. IN COTTON PRICES Both Sides Received Several Se-
 rious SetbaCkS. CLOSE WAS QUITE STEADY Sentiment Was Very Much Mixed and Both Long and Shorts EndeaVored to Reduce Commitments-Eu
 rope Was Heavy Buyer
CLOSE WAS QUITE STEADY

New York, June 6-The movement of cotton prices today was frequent and vio- lent with both sides receiving set backs. The bear faction had the advantage on the opening, inasmuch as English cable news was very unsatisfactory, and the weather news more encouraging and they succeeded in forcing prices off 3q7 points. On this break August touched 799, with scarcely any effort made by holders to ar rest the turn. The foreign contingent and the speculative public sold on the slump with an unusual degree of confidence. But toward midday a feeling of dstrust invad- ed the bear camp and prices were soon reactng rapidly on purchases from all sides.
 Early in the afternoon the upturn became sensational in the rapidity, with July cas- fly the leader. Shorts were temporarily panic-stricken by jump of 2S points in July in New Orleans, which private ad- vices declared had resulted from a wild scramble of shorts to cover on bad reports from the central belt In the local market July advanced to S.45 before a breathing spell was taken Later in the day the mar ket was nervous with trading spasmodical- ly active.
  both longs and shorts endeavored to reduce commitments, particularly concerning the acreage, estimate of the Chronicle yeSter- day differing in the extreme. Europe was a heavy buyer on the afternoon rise, and considerable was also purchased for south- ern account.
 The close was quiet and steady at net advance of 165 points, the market having eased off under realizing.

New York, June 6.-Under pressure from London which sold some 30,000 shares of the international list, the market opened de- pressed and sagged rapidly all day. Little active opposition, and movements seemed merely to come from neglect and lack of of outside interest. Sugar, after showing some strength, gave way. Steel stocks were weak on further decline in billets and rather dispirting iron trade outlook. The difficulty in China caused nervousness in London, which was reflected here. Money continues eas.

BUFORD OPENED.
Senate Passes the House Bill Opening
the Fort Buford Reservation.

Senator Hansbrough has secured
the passage in the senate of the bill
throwing open to settlers the Fort Blu
ford abandoned military reservation
in North Dakota and Montana. The
bill has passed the house and goes to
the president for approval The pro-
posed law will open for entry thou
sands Of acres of desirable lands in
North Dakota. The bill is one of the
most important to the state that has
passed in a number of years, and the
result is due to the efforts of Senator
Hansbrough and Representative Spald-
ing.
The passage of this bill is an import
ant piece of legislation for settlers
along the Missouri river and in the
western part of the state. The reser-
walton is the largest in the state, con
sisting of 100000 acres. Much of the
land is valuable grazing land, some of
it heavily timbered and there will be
an excellent opportunity for settlers to
locate or for ranchmen to purchase
hay and grazing land. Under the bill
actual settlers are given the preference
in making entries. The bill will with
out doubt be signed by the president
and the land will then have to be sur
veyed. Senator H%ansbrough has in
troduced a bill providing IN a%ppropria-
ton of S11 900 for the work of survey.

hours the jury in the Charles Curtis

guilty of murder in the second. degree,
fixing the penalty at twelve years. Cur
it's crime was the shooting of William
Whitley at Williston last Christmas
morning. Whitley accused Curtis of
having stolen 81. 80 from him, and fol-
lowed the charge with a blow. Cur
tbs pulled a revolver and shot five
times, two shots taking effect. Whitley
died almost instantly. The Isl was
transferred to Ward county on account
OF local sentiment.
Judge Morgan sentenced Hans
Thorpe, the wife murderer, to be
hanged on Sept. ii. When asked if
he had anything to say, Thorpe smiled
and said: only that you comply
with my request that l made on the
18th day of April" 1t was upon that
day that Thorpe, in open court, begged
the jury to find him guilty of murder
in the first degree and the Judge to pro-
bounce tue death penalty. After SEN
tence was pronounced, Thorpe said:
