Cotton Letter.

Gilbert 6 Clays Letter to Cothran & Go.
 New Orleans. July 18.-The daily re- ports from Liverpool furnished no incen- tive for exertion, recording a shade im- provement in deliveries with continued heavy spot sales at unchanged quota tions. Private cable advices, however, conveyed the information that Lancashire spinners agreed not to run short time, and this created a general stir here, which, with reports of the boil weevil getting prominent in sections of Texas again and unsatisfactory accounts of the crop being received from portions of the Atlantic district, started shorts to scram- ble for cover. and In the process sharp advance was established. Closing quotations are Il to 16 points higher on this crop and 5 to 6 points up on the next. With the visible supply diminish ing at a rapid rate and new bales being decidedly scarce, 1t is no wonder that the market responded so readily to the knowledge that English spinners would not curtail the extent of consumption in that quarter. Under the circumstances 1t Is quite probable that a greater response would have been observed were It not for the general belief that the crop out look Is very unsatisfactory. Thus 1t seems as if fiattering prospects are neces- gary to keep prices from rising.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, July 1S.-Rain reports from the south were confined to Galveston and Vicksburg when New York opened. Liv- erpool sent a few buying orders and prices opened as a rule unchanged, fiuct- nations where they occurred being un- changed.
 As regards the matter of rain 1t Is gen orally felt that they have been sufficient for all requirements except possibly in western Texas, where, however, the drouth has been much relieved All in all the feeling prevails that the prospects are for magnificent crop, but when 1t Is recalled that the absence of moisture over large areas covered many weeks, and in many instances months. It's uncon- ceivable to many how 1t will be possible to raise more than an average crop this season.
 bullsh chronicle report Is expected tomorrow. At all events close observers fail to see a greater crop possible than Ii, COG, ,O00 all of which will be needed.
 Before midday prices moved up few points, but the market lacked activity. Port receipts 2500; last year, 6700 The Liverpool situation during the week shows some important changes; stocks have decreased 66.000 for all kinds and 56,- GOO for the American. At the same time the stocks total, as compared with same day last year are 100000 greater, and of American 120,0O0 greater.

MARKET TURNED UPWARD
In the Early Afternoon New Orleans Sent September Buying Orders, While Spot Holders Helped
 Support Summer Options.

New York, July 18.-On the opening the cotton market was dull but steady. with prices 1 point higher to 9 points lower. The Liverpool cables were of indifferent import, while the crop and weather news were quite in line with anticipa- tions-bearish Then came buying orders from southern spinning interests for the summer months, which led 10 small scare of later months shorts. While the trading during the balance of the morn ing was not active, the course of the market was upwards, with plenty of ru- mors in circulation that spinners found 1t cheaper to buy July and August here and take cotton on contract than to pur- chase in the southern markets, where offerings were scarce even at higher prices.
 In the early afternoon New Orleans sent September buying orders here. while spot cotton holders helped to support the summer options. The distant positions were reluctant to sympathize with the near month strength. owing to the ex- cellent character of crop reports. and to a forecast for showers and thunderstorms pretty much throughout the belt tonight and tomorrow
 The market was finally steady and net { to points higher. Total sales were es- tinated at 75, 900 bales, a considerable pro portion of which was near delivery cot ton.

MANNING HASAPARK
JIMMY SAYS HE WILL RUN A WEST
ERN LEAGUE CLUB IN
KANSAS CITY
SENSATIONS FAIL TO DEVELOP
At the Meeting of western Managers
Held Yesterday In the City
on the Kaw-ROurke De-
mics Selling Out.
Special to The Globe.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 9.-The West
ern league meeting is set for next Tues
day, but today there was gathering OF
many of the magnates here, but no i'm
portant developments. Those here were
President James Whitfield, Tom Burns,
Colorado Springs; William Rourke,
Omaha; James Manning, Kansas City; w.
L. Van Brunt, ST. Joseph. They met in
executive session in the morning. after
noon and evening.
Late tonight the official announcement
of the lease of a park for the Western
league team to be run by Manning and
Nicols was announced. The magnates
looked at the different sit IS being consid-
cred and helped make the selection. Man
ning's park is at Sixteenth and Indiana
avenue, about six blocks further out than
Tebeau's American association grounds
and on the same car line The new park
is larger than the old, which is considered
an ideal place, an dMann1ng says it is his
intention to put up a fine up-to-date steel
grandstand.
1t was thought that there would be in
teresting developments, but if anything
transpired at the night meeting President
Whitfield refused to give it out.
In regard to the reports that Des Moines
had dropped out of the league, the presi-
dent would say nothing. but it is known
that he has a letter from Frank Flynn,
the Des Moines owner, offering to sell
his interests. The report that Rourke
has sold out to Hickey is emphatically
denied on all sides. Every indication is
that when the circuit is decided upon next
week Des Moines will not be included in
the list Of cities.

A new story of Lincoln was told at the
semi-annual dinner of the Delaware VAL
ley Society of the State of New York.
The author of the story was the yener-
able Bonajat G. Jayne. who, during the
most of the Civil war was the personal
assistant of Edwin M. stanton, the IA
nous war secretary. One day Lincoln
sent for Jayne to come to the White
house. MY boy, said he. there is a
letter | would like to have you look at
Jayne picked up the letter. and found it
was from Gen. Dix. 1t conveyed the in
formation that several Federal prisoners
had escaped from Libby prison with the
aid of Abbie Green. a woman famous
during the war. The Letter also said
that as the fact of Abbies assistance
was well known, she had been obliged
to fee from Richmond, and even was
on her way to Washington on the flag
of truce boat
Now, my boy said the president, Il
don't know what 1 should say to any
rascal who would steal that letter and
have a bill passed through congress to
grant $4,000 to the relief of Abbie Green. .
Mr.. Jayne stole the letter." and the next
day both branches of congress passed
the bill to grant $4,000 to AbSfs Green
The following morning Honest Abe
