Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to Sledge Com Go.
 Birmingham, June H.-Liyerpool cables were better than expected with futures up 1h021s sixtyfourths, and spots up 1-32d on sales of 10000 bales, and New York in responding opened up four to seven points and showed an advancing tendency during the session on further rains in the Allan tic states, a better demand for spot cot ton on the part of foreign spinners, the improved conditions in the cotton goods trade and the anticipation of bullish bureau report tomorrow. The close was eleven to fourteen points advance on the new crop positions, and nine points on the old, the South buying the former heavily on unfavorable weather condi- tions. A6E
 Below will be found the latest dispatch from Manchester: There has been a steady and fair inquiry for cloth last week Bombay was the most active of the Indian markets, and there was considera- ble inquiry from Calcutta There was a slight advance in the transactions report ed from China chiefly among better grades of shirtings."
 Port receipts were 796S against 282S last year, while receipts af the five leading interior towns were S839 against 654 Port receipts since Friday. 15.900 against 3S,S00 last year. ft.el

proved to be the most active option Of the board the transactions on that month exceeding the August trading by many thousand bales.
 At the opening those who bought last week took profits and part of the open ing advance was lost. But buying began again at midday, early sellers covered and the market from 1 to 3 O clock proved more active than any day last week. At the starr there was every evidence that the July interests were buying October and selling August. In other words, the new crop options seem low enough to 1us- tify buying them as a sort of hedge against the short interest in August. That is, instead of covering the short August, it has seemed the better business propo- sition to buy October openly at the dis count.
 This buying amounted to several thou sand bales and served to map out oper- ations for the day
 July sank into the background, August quilted down and the October and January options came into particular prominence and at one time October sold up 7.36, or g points higher than the best prices of last week. new high record for the month was made In the August, that op- ton selling at TIA The days advices proved somewhat unfavorable for the crop with the heavy rains again in many sec tions of North and South Carolina, and no rain in Texas nor no rain predic- tions during the coming twenty-four hours.
 We cannot feel that there Is much to be gained by shorting cotton until the out look changes
 There is every prospect of steady or advancing market as long as Texas re- mains without rain.
 General showers there would bring about a sharp reaction and we believe in look ing to that State this week for the index of the market.
 The fall months are selling too low to justify selling short and the market fa- vors an advance so long as the weather fails to improve.
 Private telegrams in the pit reported a decided, improvement in dry goods circles with prices advanced 1-4 in some quar- ters.

 New York, June 1.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 What activity there was in the stock market today was furnished by American shares. They were freely dealt in, but other departments of the market were idle. Consols were heavy in anticipation of another issue.
 America stocks opened firm and then went higher on New York support. The feature was St. Paul, which touched 191. This advance was partly due to covering by the bears, who have become somewhat fearful that the recent shipments of the certificates of the stock to New York has produced shortage of 10000 shares here. The main cause of the advance was the report that Union Pacific would get con- trol of St. Paul on the basis of $200 in bonds for s100 par value of St. Paul stock. This is regarded as a good thing for St. Paul, and the prediction is made that it will touch PIC The arrangement is con- sidered as bad as Union Pacific.

MAY RAISE GUARANTEE
CALL TO BOwLERs TO DISCUSS Sc
CURING THE CONGRESS.
Every Effort VIII BE Made to Raise
S2,OO0-Cooper Leads I. ID. l.. and
Gran the i. L.-Bowling News.

a call will be sent out in a few days to
the captains and directors Of the Indian
apolis bowling leagues and also TO men
who are directly interested in bowling In
this city for a meeting at which plans will
be discussed to secure the 1903 bowling con-
gTess for this city. Rough plans have al
ready been suggested and discussed, but it
is the intention TO secure the ideas of
everybody concerned and then make con-
centrated effort for the meeting. One of
the principal members Of the Marion Club
team said last week that he would be will
ing to be one of twenty men to guarantee
5000 for prizes for the national tourna-
ment. This guarantee will be necessary
in order to secure the national congress for
Indianapolis. Buffalo guaranteed $1,000 in
the start and the entries secured Increased
the prize money to nearly double that fig
ure. 1t is pointed out that the entries for
national meeting in Indianapolis would
easily bring in more than 5000.
The Marion man who is interesting him
self in arousing interest in securing the
national congress says that if the lead
ing alleys in the city would contribute
a liberal sum there could be enough raised
by subscription from other sources to
bring the guarantee to s.. 900. The adnlis-
sion receipts from the games at Tomlinson
Hall would pay all expenses, 1t Is argued
1t is the idea to send man, probably
Charles Gardner, to Buffalo for the pur-
pose of going before the congress and
making fight for Indianapolis. He will
be authorized to make the necessary guar
antee and his action will be backed by
the indianapolis bowlers. With Chicago
in favor of Indianapolis, it is believed that
this city can easily secure the next bowl
ing congress provided strong efforts are
made in that direction. Chicago's support
will mean much in securing the meeting,
as Chicago will come very near controlling
the situation. Delegates from other cities
will also be urged TO vote for IndianapO-
lis. Should Indianapolis secure the meet
ing teams will be entered from all the large
cities in this part of the country and the
bowlers in all parts of Indiana will be
urged to send teams to the congress. If
fve-men teams cannot be organized in the
smaller cities then they will be asked TO
enter two-men teams or individuals. There
would probably be enough entries to make
it necessary TO bowl every morning, after
noon and evening during the week. The
battle cry among the Indianapolis bowlers
is ''Go after the bowling congress-.

Willie Enjoyed 1t; Aunt Did Not.

OelrOll L rec GIeSS
II paid a visit to an aunt of mine last
week" said Brown. II had not seen her
for several years, and she made my visit
a gala event. Now, she is a great stickler
for style, and unfortunately the girl whose
duty cit was to wait on the table had been
called home by a death in the family, and
my aunt had been obliged to hire a good
ratured German girl to act in her place
while she was gone.
ITO my aunt 1 have always been Willie,
although not even my wife has taken that
liberty for years. During the dinner she
turned TO the girl and said absently:
See If Willie will have some more of
the roast beef
THE girl ambled around where I was,
and. leaning over my chair. she asked. So
sicitously:
Twill you have some more meat, VIII
lie?'
My aunt get red in the face and then
white, and l thought for the moment that
she was going TO faint.
From that moment the girl had her cue
and proceeded TO carry IL out Ii was Will
lie this and Willie that till my aunt showed
every sign OF going into fit at such un-
heard-of familiarity. But l rather enjoyed
81 and when l left / insisted, much TO my
aunt's horror, upon seeing the girl and bid
ding her goodbye. 1 think the climax came
when, smiling broadly. she said:
Come again, Willie.
