Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to H. D. Cothran & Co.
 New Orleans, June 6.-In the cotton market zthe conditions of yesterday are repeated with emphasis today, The Eng fish cables continue of a most encourag- ing character. and the better trade out look there is quite reflected in the increas- ing spot demand at the higher quotations. East of the Mississippi river complaints of excessive rainfall are very general and investment demand in the purchase of the fall and winter months is on the increase Outside of the summer positions the price is altogether influenced now.by the crop outlook and this feature Is likely to pre- dominate for some weeks to come. With the settlement of the Chinese war and bet ter trade outlook for the coming year a full crop will be needed to keep prices on low basis. In view of this we have re- gently advised purchases on easy markets around the recent prevailing quotations.
 The local market opened seven to nine points up, which until near the close were top prices, but when the spot quotations were posted a firmer tone was imparted and the end showed the highest of the day leaving off at 7.7907.S0 for. July, and

 Stock Letter.
 By Private Wire to Sledge Commission
 Company.
 New York, June 6-Trading in stocks was less active with sales to noon only 641.600. New York showed only fractional gains in most of the list at the opening, and then turned decidedly irregular on alternate selling and buying orders. Keene's hand was clearly evident in the selling of Union Pacific, while the western crowd unloaded their holdings freely on the report that a large stock exchange house was in trouble The reaction, how ever, was regarded as healthful. and as only temporary check to the bulish movement in progress. Conspicuous among the railroad stocks was Louisville and Nashville. which was bought on the report that an increased dividend would be declared on this property in July. The surplus earnings on this stock available for dividends is about 4,200. 900, or per cent Much higher prices are expected Southern Pacific was another stock in which the buying was of a good char acter. There were many who sold their Holdings on the failure of directors to declare a dividend. but the rumor that there would be a dividend in August based on the enormous earnings of the road, attracted more than enough buy ing orders to offset the selling ones fur ther mysterious talk about a pending deal between Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific, which would give both roads an outlet to the Pacific ocean. also figured as a factor in the buying The fact that Missouri Pacific itself behaves so nicely helped to confirm the rumor.
 NJ K. and T. enjoyed good support from its connection with the prospective deal in Missouri Pacific.
 Insiders are talking great things for Wabash on it's large earnings, which are now large enough to pay all fixed changes for equipment and roadbed, pro- vides for considerable betterment, work and pay full requirement. on a deben- ture and leave small surplus for B. de- bentures. run in stop orders was the cause of weakness in Union Pacific, which recov- cred considerably in the late trading on the cessation of liquidation sales.
 The tobacco stocks were the strongest among the industrials, the proposed con- soidation being firmly rooted in the street. Sugar held it's own. but failed to advance on the report that this stock would sell an ex-dividend tomorrow.

The principal prayer was made by
a woman from St Joseph. I don't re-

remember her prayer was as follows:

Notorious Negroes, Wright and
AtkinsOns UNPUBLISHED.
Both Have Been Convicted Of
Highway Robbery.
THEY GET NEW TRIALS
Judge Has Doubt Of Guilt in
This Case.
Says They Should Be Impris-
Oned on General Principles.

'Pearly" Atkinson was granted q
new trial IN the district court this
morning BY Judge Hazen on the charge
OF highway robbery. The granting Of
this new trial was on the grounds that
there was not sufficient evidence to con-
Wet him. which means practically that
all further prosecution Of Wright and
Atkinson on the charge OF highway
robbery upon the person of Claud
Imbler viii be stopped Wright is now
out on bond awaiting a new trial.
Atkinson is the first lieutenant of the
notorious Crook Wright a year ago
last winter they We're arrested and
charged with holding up C1aud Imbler,
santa F'e news agent. who was re
turning home at midnight Imbler was
attacked on East Fourth street near the
Santa Fee tracks. He was knocked down
and two negroes went through his
pockets and robbed him Of some small
change Imbler described his ASSISTANTS
TO the officers and Wright and Atkinson
We're arrested 1mbIer positively lden-
titled them. At the first trial Wright
and Atkinson were tried together and the
jury disagreed Another trial was had
and both were convicted. Then Imbler
was employed as a '.spotter' and his
testimony was impeached in the police
court. Upon the grounds OF the inn
parchment a new trial was granted and
then the attorney for Wright, Joe Reed,
demanded separate trials. Atkinson
was tried The jury heard the evidence
OF 4mDlerS impeachment and went TO
the jury room and In ten minutes re-
turned a verdict of guilty. Wright WAS
to have been tried at the coming Sep
TENDER term.
The new trial was granted practically
upon the grounds that Judge Hazen
does not believe that from the evidence
they are guilty. In granting the new
trial Judge Hazen said there was doubt
in his mind as 10 the guilt Of the parties.
The court admitted that they should
both be in the penitentiary, perhaps,
on general principles but held that they
should not be convicted upon the testf-
mony alone of CIaud Imbler whose tes-
timOny was fmDeached in the police
court while he was acting as a joint
spotter for Chief StahL
As the case stands a. new trial VIII
probably not be gone through with as
it would mean that il the jury brought
in a verdict Of guilty the verdict would
be set aside by Judge Hazen- The cases
will probably be disn Used before the
September term of court. Wright, who
has been in the shadow OF the peniten-
tiary q half score OF times with his pal
Atkinson seems to bear a charmed life.
He first came into prominence as the
proprietor of the notorious Big 4G0+
club which figured in the Collins trial
Wright has been working for some time
and now claims that he has been wean-
ed from his old ways Of vice-he has re-
formed before.
