New York, June 1S.-There has been
no break today in the monotonous char
acter of the market. The demand has
been quiet in all directions. Previous
prices are paid for brown bleached and
coarse colored cottons and for prints and
ginghams. Print cloths are inactive, but
sellers are Indifferent. Mems wear
woolens and worsteds show a slight i'm
pfovement in recorders, for heavy
weights at current prices. WOODEN and
worsted goods are quiet and unchanged.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, June 1S.-The cotton mark
ct opened firm with prices three to six
points higher on bullish Liverpool ca
bles and no signs of rain in the Western
belt on the initial weather chart. The
shorts of yesterday covered up eagerly.
fearing a pronounced reaction from the
recent severe break. Wall Street in
terests appeared to be covering up short
accounts i'm the summer months, but
were noticed to be selling the late po
sitions. Following the call July was bid
up to S.5S and August to S29, with
sentiment for the moment quite bullish.
Liverpool and the South sent moderate
buying orders here and sellers were
scarce at best. Then came reports of
soaking rains over the greater portion
of the Central belt and over the North
ern section of the Western belt, while
the official forecast indicated showers
generally except in portions of Texas
and in some sections of the South At
lantic States. Liquidation at once set
in and bear pressure came to the front.
sharp break in the New Orleans mark
ct with private kilograms reporting rain
in the Central belt helped to weaken
the market Prices rapidly declined I'M
til last nights figures were reached
when profit taking for a time checked
the downward movement. But in the
early afternoon heavy Selling for both
accounts once more weakened the mark
ct and throughout the last hour prices
made but feeble rallies from the bot
tom. Reports that spot cotton was Of
fered at lower prices in the cotton coun-
try and fears of severe break in Liv-
erpool tomorrow, prompted general sell
ing. The market closed barely steady
with March two points higher and other
months unchanged to five points lower.
Tho summer months suffered most in the
liquidation. Total sales were estimated
at 100000 bales. Late in the day New
Orleans was a seller of July in the New
York market.

HE Left Prison.

pTTTE, Aug. 2T.--With officers OF
the state penitentiary upon his trail

wrst ked his home. The document re-
eeived bv the Miner bears the post
mark of Anaconda. The writer dates
his communication from mountain
in the surrounding hills, and says he
wrote his story behind rock, dividing
his time between his Winchester and
his pen. The communication is a lit
erary freak, aud no question exists
as TO its authenticity. as the hand
writing has been identified by the
warden Of the peniten'iary and others
acquainted with the criminal
o'Brien declares his sole object in
escaping from the penitentiary is TO
kill Deputy Sheriff Morgan. and after
that is accomplished he will surrender
10 officers and take the consequences.
In describing HE escape from the
penitentiary, O'Brien, who is gradu-
ated veterinary surgeon and trusty,
worked In the stables of the prison.
saysh gave the bloodhounds orium so
that they would be unable to track
him. He also fed the warden's horse
week previous so that the animal
would be in condition for his escape.
oBrien dashed by the guards mount

to the warden.
Posses are now securing the country
