quite a number of localities the Their
mometer was few degrees lower

that were recorded were due mainly to
local thunderstorms and it is said that
a gradual reduction of the extreme
heat will result fromthese storms. The

to the possibility of a cool wave MAX

CAPTURE SEEMS CERTAIN
They Secured at Least Seventy Thous-
and Dollars.
THEY APPEAR TO BE COW PUNCHEaS
D etails Of The Express Car Robbery Prove il
One Of The Most Daring Deeds Ever
Performed by Brigands Of
WoaA
the West.
(By Associated Press.)

st. Paul, Mimi. July "A special
from Great Falls, Mont, says:
The three men who held UP the
Great Northern trans-continental west
bound express, will probably be cap
tured before morning. Sheriff Griffith
with posse Of twenty men has sur
rounded them at Buck" Aliens ranch,
about forty miles south of Wagner
near the edge of the Old Fort Belknap
Reservation on the West Fork of the
Puchetta river.
The sheriff's posse has not yet obtain
ed descriptions of the men, although
Sheriff Griffith was a passenger upon
the train that was robbed and saw the
men escape across the plains on their
horses. The gang was identifide today
by their horses and when observed
through field glasses the white, bay
and buckskin, on which they mounted
after the robbery, were plainly seen.
Contrary to first reports the men are
not experienced robbers. Information
from Wagner and nearby points is that
they have been partially identified as
COW punchers, employed on a ranch
south of the Milk river. One is half
breed, as was thought atthe time of the
robbery. He is known to be the man
who boarded the express at Wagner
and forced the engineer and fireman to
bring the train to a stop at the head
of the ravine. in which his confeder-
atcS were hidden.
1t is probable that the first estimate
OF the LOSSES, 000-is somewhat excess
sive. Reliable. information received
here today is that $4,000 was secured
and that this, with the damage to
through express shipments resulting
from the explosions in the car will rep.
resent the entire loss of the company.
No information concerning the con.
signees of the money in the through
safe is obtainable. 1t is understood
that considerable part was in the
shape OF shipments west from Chicago
banks and otier financial institutions.

The spot month in Liverpool was up points with later months 215 points higher. Following the call the market continued to improve with January up to S.04 at which level selling for profits set in on a liberal scale and by midday had carried the whole list on 5m6 points. Light receipts, poor crop reports. bulish statements from Southern spot markets and firm advices from Fall River helped to strengthen local bull confidence. The South Wall Street and Europe were buyers here all weak spots with the sellers chiefly the bear faction. Large foreign buying orders and active covering along with investment demand improved prices rapidly with Decem- ber the close strong at 8. TO- On the advance Southern wires stated that the export demand for cotton had grown to be something enormous and that the. domestic spinners were refusing to follow the advance in prices, 1eav- ing the markets nearly all the the shippers.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oc.

Bad crop accounts and the light movement were in a large measure dsregarded. but the dwinding stocks in Liverpool and the evident determi- nation of the South to sell sparingly caused some anxiety to buy which has since grown into an eager inquiry and the recent spot transactions in the English market have been enormous though the shipments from this country in that direction are comparatively light a fact that would seem to increase the tension abroad On this side there some willingness to accept profits by those who had the foresight and anticipated present develop ments but even so there a fair absorp- ton of offerings and prices grew steadier un- der the influence of an improved spot business day being IA. co bales

 The evidence at hand at present dissipates In large degree the numerous reports of the past concerning bad foreign trade and rather discloses the policy of procrastination that foreign spinners have been pursuing.

Subsequently. however improve ment of to | from the bottom was estab- lfshed on the firmness making the net gain 8 to IA points the day The Liverpool weekly statement will be very bulish tomor- the exports to Great Britain small in comparison to what they last year. The recent advance has been predicted on this feature and while the stock there will be com paratively light. it only demonstrates that merchants and spinners have been apathetic and not disposed to buy any more than their actual requirements. As long as Liverpool stock remains small it may cause steadness, but with the large supply held in America all that is requisite to relieve the situation is free buying of spots. The probability is there will be wi3 sing of differences between Liverpool and American markets because the scarcity of supply is there, whereas the in teror holdings in our country are very heavy. The future course of values will however, continue to be ruled by receipts, weather and the demand for spots.
