 New York, September 12. 1901.-Liverpool prices were higher this morning. The local market advanced few points and then those who bought tried to take profits The market then grew uncertain. Should the market decline and make q new low level on & lower Liverpool to- morrow, working back to 71z cents and perhaps lower. or has the change in Fall River been sufficient to hold the market end bring about gradual improvement? First one view prevailed and then the other January moved from TO back to 7H. back to 69 and to 762 without any tendency to show whether net loss or net gain would result at the end of the day. While the market at this season Of the year is necessarily more uncertain than at any time during the season. we cannot but feel that until after the frost period cotton bought on decif1es will show profit.

Cotton Letter.

Sledse Commission Company's Cotton
 Letter.
 New York, September 12.-IAverpool response to the steadiness of American markets was exceedingly moderate, and private cables furnished no encourage ment to those who had been iniuencea by developments at Fall River yesterday. The opinion was expressed that the in> provement abroad would not last, as of- ferings of cotton from the south were in- creasing, and the demand was not suf- ficient to sustain prices. It Is evident that ideas corresponding with Mir. Borden's did not exist in Manchester as that market reported cloth quiet and yarns dull In the early trading, and 1t developed that spots were again being offered at lower quota tions. which caused a considerable dimin- ttion in the speculative support and per suaded additional long liquidation, result ing Tn a sharp decline, closing quotations being 14 to IT points lower than yesterday. The unsatisfactory condition of spots Is overshadowing all other influences in the cotton market at the moment. The move- ment to the ports thus far is compara- lively light, but offerings for forwarf shipment are very liberal, in the face of which the trade demand is rather light, while speculative support has been re- duced to a minimum by this unfavorabIe development. So long as the pressure in the spot department exists the effect will continue to be reflected on the prices of contracts, and even those entertaining a favorable view of the market in the long run are not disposed to render support. while the interior is attempting to force safes in the absence of a reasonable in- quiry.

The Coffee Market.

New York, September 12.-Spot Rio steady; No. invoice, 1-5c; mild quiet. The market for coffee futures opened steady with prices points higher as response to favorable European cables, local bulls support and a smaller move ment in the crop district. Brazilian mar ket news was bearish but was offset by an advance In Rio sterling exchange. Lo- cal business was light with almost the entire list traded in; foreign houses bought sparingiy but the transactions were chify for professional account.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York. September 12-The stock market opened fairly active and generally higher notwithstanding the fact that London again furnished lower range of prices for Americans, and was a mod crate seller in this market. Seemingly the most important factor In dealings were the declsively favorable news respecting the condition of the President. Otherwise there was no new features of any impor- tance over night. The indications, how ever, seem to be stronger that the strike of the Amalgamated Association is nearer to complete collapse than at any time since its outbreak. Speculative interest was keenest in regard to the dividend VI St. Paul to be declared this afternoon Irregular dividend being declared, no exert dividend). while the public at large had no more definite information than 1t has had at any time yet there seemed to be another shift of opinion, to the effect that something extra would be declared In ad- dition to the usual semi-annual per cent rate
 At any rate St. Paul was decidedly strong this morning. after the announce ment that St. Paul dividend had declined about per cent), and its strength ex- tended to the remainder of the market. Other notably strong features were Un- ion Pacific, Chicago Indiana and Louis vile, the Nickel Plate shares and Erie common.

ACQUIT SCHOOL MH'AM OF
INHUMANLY WHIPPING BOY,

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Macon. Mo-. April G.-When the jury
came in the Circuit Courtroom Saturday
morning and announced that they found
Flora Ryther, q young lady school teacher,
not guilty of inhumanly whipping her STU
dent, Everett Nichol, the big crowd in the
room burst into hearty cheers, and the
turymen almost fell over each other In their
attempts to grasp the pretty schoolma ans
hands. For several minutes there was ro-
r~oarious enthusiasm that defied the Efforts
Of the bailiffs to subdue.
On the 18th Of last December Miss Ryther.
who is a slight. fragile-loOking young lady.
weighing only ninety-three pounds. found II
necessary to give Everett a whipping.
Miss Ryther was arrested and tried. hrst
before a country Justice and jury: was
found guilty and assessed a nominal nne.
Unwilling to rest under the shadow OF a
criminal conviction. she appealed her case
to the Circuit Court. where a trial was had
Friday.
Miss Ryther made q splendid witness In
her own behalf. She stated that the boy
had been disobedient and she whipped him
for It, as he deserved: that In her employ
ment she a been granted authority TO
use her discretion in such matters. and sne
intended to do so or would resign.
She is not at all flerce-looking but has a
pleasant countenance, and the jurymen say
that before she left the stand that they
had made up their minds that they were
not going to "send that little girl to Jail
or assess a fine against her.
