ticular, showing an advance of about
four points. Foreign houses again had
buying orders in this market upon the
opening of business. Particularly ac-
tive features of the early trading were
st. Paul Union Pacific, the Atchi-
sons and Missouri Pacific. These
stocks all followed practically the
same course. namely, after opening at
extensive gains. they all sold down
practically to yesterdays final prices.
Reports from the strike of the steel
workers were not. as a rule encourag-
ing, inasmuch as the dissatisfaction
among the non-union men appeared to
be on the increase In the industrial
quarter, Sugar was strong on the an
nouncement in the Sun of this morn
ing of the issue of $15,00000 new
stock to which the present share
holders will be allowed to subscribe
at par. The stock issues are for the
purpose, ii is understood, of extend
ing the operations of the company in
Cuba and Porto Rico. Sugar Refining,
however, also participated in the re-
action after the opening.

Tuesday, July %.
COTTON futures went tumbling down
TO-DAY with the closing showing a SEN
satonal decline of from IL to "a points.
THE tone was easy and feeling very
much unsettled as to the future move
mont of prices. A break in the July
ontion had much to do with starting
the decline, which was helped by ur-
cent liquidation of long cotton in an
ticipation of improved conditions in
the weather distressed country. The
government summary was bullish, and
while the market responded to it by
a recovery to the extent of the previ-
ous declines the gain was soon lost I'M
der pressure of continued liquidation.
In its weekly summary of crop con-
dtions to-day the weather bureau says
of cotton: I'm portions of Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia and Florida, the
condition of the crop has improved,
but in the two last named states, and
in the Carolinas. it has suffered from
lack of cultivation. Rain is greatly
needed in Tennessee and over the west
ern portion of the cotton belt. where,
however, the crop is generally with
standing the drought we'll. Fruiting
at the top continues to be reported
from the central and western districts
and throughout the belt the plant is
small"
The naval stores market did not de-
velop any interesting features during
the day. Turpentine closed firm at 33c,

DATE ASSIGNED FOR HEARING
Miller-Clowes Case Will Be
 Heard Tuesday March 19.
Arguments Completed in the Trolley Company Town Case, and Given to the Jury-Charge of Judge Thayer Said to Be Favorable to the Town.

Before the superior court resumed the town vs trolley case this morning. Judge Ihayer gave counsel ill the
 CloweS-Aliller case a brief hearing on
 the motion to dissolve the injunction restraining Mir Cloves from suing Mir Miller or any member of the Randolph Gloves company Attorney Williams,
 representing Mr Cloves, said it was imperative that the hearing should | take place as soon as possible, but it would be well to hear both the motion to dissolve the Injunction and the main case together. Practically they were inseparable as the clements of
 one constituted to a great extent the elements of the other. Colonel Bur- pee, representing AIr Miller ct al said that while he was ready to have the matter heard, he could not proceed for a week or two at least. The mat ter was specially assigned for a week
 from next Tuesday.
 The jury on the suit of the town vS l the trolley company for SlO,OOO dam ages retired it noon. The court s charge was considered very favorable to the town. Ir O'Neill. counsel for the town, in addressing the jury. com pared the witness for the trolley com pany to the Budhists. He said that in I temple ill India there is q large piece of ivory carved like a human tooth. This is kept under :; dome Of gold and once in a while the high priest of BndhiSm exhibits it to the people and | tells them it was a tooth from the
 mouth of Budha. The people have l heard this story so often that they i have come 10 believe it. So with the | witnesses for the trolley company. they have told their stories to Attor- l neEs Bronson and Williams so often l that they now believe it is the true
 one. though at first they knew it was | false
