STOCK MARKET
 WITHOUT 4 CUE Opening Was Decidedly Firm
 With Tone Strong READING STOCK WAS HEAVY Publication of the Bank Statement Was Awaited With Almost Pain fuI Interest, the List Show
 ing Halting Tendency.
READING STOCK WAS HEAVY

New York, September 6.-In the absence of the London quotations the iocal mar ket was without cue from any particu- lar quarter. Nevertheless the opening was decidedly firm with much strength of undertone. The excellent showing made by Norfolk and Western in it's annual re- port imparted strength to that stock as we'll as to others in the soft coal group, but the upward movement in Ontario ana Western, following hard upon reports showing heavy strike losses, was not al- together clear. Reading displayed heavi- ness at the outset, presumably as re- suit of decline in July earnings, but showed evidence of support closing with g net loss. St. Paul and Missouri Pa cifc, leaders of the previous day, were fairly active, while the Atchisons were strong most of the buying peing attrib- uted to Rock Island interests. The move in Peoples Gas and Brooklyn Rapid Transit appeared to have It's origin in the operations of a prominent commission house. During the first hour advances were scored by Republic Steel preferred, Virginia Carolina Chemical, cast iron RsfHeA Marie, Sloss-Sheffield Steel, Pacific Mall, Laclede Gas and the cotton oil stocks.
 The publication of the bank statement was awaited with almost painful interest. the list halting somewhat in anticipation of a very unfavorable showing. In point of fact, the statement as a whole was faithful reflection of the weeks opera tions, although tho loss of cash amount ing to SS,SO0,000 was somewhat in excess of expert calculations. The decrease of aa> most $5,6 900 in reserves reduced the surplus to $4,097,05O the lowest figure since last May. Prices yielded very gen. orally under the influence of the bank statement. St. Paul and Peoples Gas making the greatest losses, with declines of a point or so elsewhere than the ac- tive issues. A partial recovery was eff fected by some of these stocks named, but the closing as a whole, was weak and heavy. Barring a temporary halt the market for the week was generally strong end very active.
 Large dealings in bonds followed sym pathetically the course of the stock mar ket. Dealings were rather irregular, and there was a good undertone for the bond market throughout.
 United States 2s and s. coupon, ana new As, registered, advanced A per cenS, and the old 4s coupon, a per cent, as compared with last weeks closing call.

there is likely to be a change In both offerings and demand. This should come at CT around - cents. A careful reading of state reports on September 1 fails to reveal anything on which 10 base hopes a big cotton crop. 4 moderate one Is probable, a comparatively smau one not impossible. Buyers should exercise cau- ton in the fall of the year unless crop Is belng marketed. We believe the buying side Is the side to operate on this year. There will be a free and early move ment. This will depress t--e price for | time. but if the crcp is moderate one there will be a scramble.

Theodore Price's Statement.

Nv York, September 6.-Since the pub lication of the government report on cot ton strenuous efforts to discredit 1t have been made by certain houses in New York who are large dealers in spot cotton and whose purpose it is to break the future markets that they may buy spot cotton more cheaply. Owners and pro- ducers of cotton in the south should not. in my opinion, be terrorized by such measures into parting with their cotton. It is worth far more than it is selling for and unless holders can be stampeded 1t will bring such reasonable prices as they may demand.

SPECULATION WAS ACTIVE

New York, September 6-The cotton market opened easy. with prices 1 to points lower in response to poor cables from Liverpool where prices were down 2h to S6 points as compared with an ex- pected drop of 1 to points. The bear element and some of the more conserva- tive longs sold on the decline in fear of further losses under fine weather reports and less unfavorable crop accounts Then came a show of confidence by Wall street operators. with the result that January worked up to S.S9 from S.s5, or to within 1 point of the close of yester- day. The market subsequently, turned weak again and sold down below the opening level January touching s.ss un- der the general selling. led by nervous longs. Speculation was fairly active dur ing the forenoon. but for the most part the, public took profits on cotton bought early in the recent movement, or losses on staple taken on at the height of the bull movement The south appeared to be selling fall options during the morning. Europe purchased the fall and spring months as a hedge against needed sup plies of spot cotton. The New Orleans market sent selling orders to representa- tives. The local scalping element took the bear side for turn.

Dry Goods.

New York, September 6.-The week in. dry goods has closed with a very satis- factory amount of business reported from all quarters. During the morning hours a very fair demand was in evidence both at first. and second hands. Later, how ever, this demand quieted down. Next week jobbers look for heavy buying from the western continent. Prices are very firm on all lines.

New orleans Market.

New Orleans, September 6.-The spot cotton market was decidedly easier today with free offerings. Sales 1250 bales in- cluding $50 f. o. b. terms and 400 to ar rive. Quotations reduced 3-16 on all grades. Futures were weak. The influ- ences at work In the market at present are manifold, but almost without excep- tion they seem favorable to the believer in lower prices Weather conditions af- fecting the growing crops are ideal throughout the belt, but more particular ly in the western districts. The market opened at declines of to 6 points. at which level there was some free buying for New York account that sent prices up again to the extent of to points, but the recovery was short lived. Stop loss orders began to pour in and the longs made a frantic rush for cover. This sent values tumbling down at great rate, the drop from the highest point of the day being IS to Is points. There was a subsequent recovery of ' to points on profit realizing, but the market eased off again and at the noon closing stood at net losses from yes terday's prices of to Il points on the several positions.

Want q DiSpenSarY.

The people of Ft. Mil are agitating
the question of establishing a dispen-
sary in that town. 1t is said that
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth Of
whiskey is shipped to that town year
ly by Charlotte dealers, and as the
establishment of dispensary would
take large revenue from them, 1T IS
reported that these dealers will 60 to
Ft Mill and take hand in the primary
by spending money literally in order
secure it's defeat. Citizens Of the town
are divided on the question, but some
of the best citizens are in favor OF the
dispensary. While they admit that
the dispensary will not break up blind
tigers, they argue that if people WILL
drink whisGey the money might as
well be kept at home and not dis
tributed in Charlotte. II the bar
keepers take hand in the primary,
the contest will be lively one and
the result will be watched with great
deal Of interest.

Hungry Indians.

A. special from Tucson, Ariz., says:
Driven to desperation by hunger and
thirst, band Of 80 YaquiS, nearly
half Of them women, attcked the Car
men ranch near Hermosillo Saturday
and fierce fight followed. When a
patrol of Mexican troops came to the
rescue two Of the women and five of
the men lay dead. The Yaquis were
weak from hunger and when attacked
by superior numbers they were COM
pelled to surrender. Fifteen prison
ers, including two chiefs, were marched
to Hermosillo, where they will be sent
by Gen. Torres. The band is supposed
to be the last remnant OF those who
took to the Warpath some time ago.

Swung Him Up.

Charles Craven, the supposed mur
derer Of William H. Wilson, farmer
living near Herndon, Va, was lynch
ed Thursday afternoon on the Pike,
one mile east Of Leesburg, Va. He
was taken from the Jail at Leesburg by
a mob of $50 men, who .oyerpowered
the guard, broke in the outer'door and
then entered the cage, using hammers
and crowbars. Little difficulty was
encountered in this work. A moose was
thrown around the prisoners neck and
he was led down the pike in the direc-
tion of the scene of the murder. The
party had proceeded scarcely a mile
when the rope was thrown around a
tree and Craven was pulled from the
ground. AS soon as the body was
raised in the air, the mob fired fully
500 shots at the dying man.

WHERE IS JEFFC0AT?
He is Indeed Bird Of Passage ana
Hard to Follow.

The Augusta correspondent of The
State says Charlie Jetfcoat, the second
edition of Tracey, seems to be equally
as fearless as the latter. While the
officers are chasing him in one part OF
the swamps he turns up at another
point and converseS with workrnen as
long as he likes and then walks OFT.
Friday afternoon he talked to a
gang Of pole hands on the Port Royal
road about 20 miles below Augusta,
after which he walked away into the
woods in an unconcerDed manner.
From that time until last night moth
ing was heard from him.
Now, however, the information
comes that he took dinner with some
negroes at HancOck,s landing: some
25 miles down the river Of the Caro-
lima side in Barnwell county. The
information WAS brought to the city
by river hand who says Jeffcoat gave
his name aud said that he would never
be taken alive. He WAS armed with a
brace of revolyers and 4 Winchester
rifle.
During his visit to the negro house
he walked about the pAce and talked
to all the people, but never once left
any Of his arms where they could be
gotten hold of by any one but him
self. Even while eating he sat with
his pistols in his pockets and his rifle
across his lap.
His manner held the negroes in awe
and no attempt whatever was made
to stop him or moleSt him in any way.
When he lef5 he said nothing about
where he was going, but reiterated the
statement that he would never be
taken alive and walked Of toward
the woods in q most unconcerned man
