Murphx . Coo COTTON Lerter.

NEW YORK, April sO-The cotton trade this
morning was surprised by a much better Liver
pool report than had been looked for. Intact.
some months were up as much as 2h points.
This, combined with less satisfactory state re-
ports noted elsewhere produced a better feeling
In the early market when prices rose to 5d11
points. bulls again being disposed to take the
aggressive, but buying orders quickly petered
out succeeded by fears that in the absence OF
support and the recent narrowing OF the
short interest 1t might be difficult to rapidly
send prices up at this time unless big buying
orders from unexpected quarters should set in.
Receipts at ports were estimated at 10, 000
against 1900 last year. Business fell of to
small proportions as prices gave way and little
interest was displayed. A heavy Houston es-
innate for tomorrow unsettled bull confidence

states shows a less favorable condition than
was estimated by yesterdays summary. which
lacked nothing In completeness West Texas
wants rain and there has been also a deficiency
in the states of South Carolina, Georgia. Ala
bama and Arkansas. In Texas the reports say
rain is urgently needed, and in some counties
of Georgia there has been no rain In the

cry, Atlanta, Memphis, Oklahoma and trace
at Fort Smith, Palestine and Little Rock.

PROPERTY OF SOUTHERN
DECREASES IN VALUE

A decrease of S2.5I7 is shown by the
Southern railway tax returns. which were
received Tuesday by Comptroller Cen
eral William A. Wright. The comptroller
expressed some surprise when he COM
pared the statement of the railroad COM
pany last year and the statement Of this
year and found that there was a decrease.
instead OF an increase.
The following are the values Of the prop
erty for this year, and for last year:

Comptroller Wright says that he will
give the return very careful investigation
and ascertain why there is a decrease in
stead OF an increase. 1t is not probable
that the comptroller will accept the re-
turns in their present shape, and 1t Is un-
derstood that a great many improve
fnents have been made by the company
within the past year.

TEST OF MACHINE
Questions. Involved in Hansen's
1000 Mile Motor Cycle Ride.
CAN HE DO IT IN 80 HOURS
Answer VIII Depend Upon Rate OF
Speed He Can Maintain
With Safety.

A. A. Hansen's 1000 mile motor ride
which will begin tomorrow morning at
o'clock, will be interesting not as test
of the speed and endurance OF the rider
SO much as a trial of the motor cycle for
long distance run. Up to date the mo-
country or city rides, or as pacemaker
for middle distance races.
No instance is recorded Of motor
cycle making a. run at all approaching
1000 miles In distance. If, however, the
machine stands the test OF ten century
run at full speed, with no stops other
than those necessary on the riders ac-
count, 1t will do much to strengthen the
claim that the motor cycle is no longer
an experiment..
The ride will, it is true, be severe
strain upon the rider, but by no means
so exhausting as the 1000 mile run upon
single wheel. which Hansen made three
years ago. There is no question of Han
sens ability to stay on the wheel and ride
test becomes, therefore, a question Of the
degree of speed that can be sustained by
the machine for this distance.
Hansen thinks he will be able to com
plete the ride in fifty hours total time
He allows ten hours for rest, thus making
the actual riding time forty hours. This
means, however, an average Of twenty
HVe IMleS an HOuT, anu allowing lOT
slower gait on the more frequented parts
of the Smelling 'Tonka course, will neces'-
state thirty miles an hour for at least
half the distance. At night, however
even with the most powerful lamp, Han
sen can hardly ride at this rate with
safety, and during much of the day time
he will be unable to maintain his best
speed on account Of the crowd upon the
path. This will especially be the case
Sunday, when BOTH the Minnetonka and
Minnehaha ends of the path will be pretty
we'll crowded with riders.
Could Hansen keep in the saddle fol
fifty hours without sleep, however, he
might reasonab bly, be expected to complete
the distance in the time. That he can dt
this is not improba BILE. 1t will be remem
bered that Teddy Hale, during race al
Madison Square Garden in New York
rode 1876 hours out of LA, so that Hansen
might we'll stay fifty hours with little OF
no sleep. ...s- - =.
The Minneapolis journal., 1902-06-14

strong staff of twirlers, but for reliable,
day in and day out pitching, they do not
approach the great Pittsburg bunch.
In the outfeld the white sox are strong,
Jones, Green and Mertes are all veterans
and good stickers. STILL comparing Jones
to Beaumont, Green to Lefty Davis and
Mertes to Clark, the champions still have
a little the best of It,
have a better balanced aggregation than
the white sox. Bransfield and Isbell are
both good men on first. George Davis
is header player than Wagner, but by
no means as fast shortstop or-as strong
batter. The same comparison applies
to DAILY and Ritchey at second base. Leach
is man of proven worth. while Strang
OF the white sox is still an experiment.
Regarding Chicago as the strongest
team in the American therefore, 1T does
not seem that there is team in the
league that could beat out Pitts
burg's in a seasons race. The support
ers Of the whites decry Pittsburg's tri-
umph this year on the ground of the
weakness of the other teams. Admitting
this, the pirates gave the Brooklyn ag-
gregation in 1900 team with men like
McGinnity, Keeler, H. Jennings, Dahlen
Kelley and McGuire-an awful scare be-
fore the superbas finally cinched the pen
nant. And the pirates were not so good
then as they are now, for they were at
that time an aggregation of fast young
players, thrownf together by the amalga-
nation of two teams the raw material
out of which the present grand aggrega-
