LITTLE RAIN IN THE SOUTH

New York, July 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady with prices two
points lower to point higher. these
prices being about bottom for the day.
The year element was quick to put out
additional short lines on the start, fol-
lowing weakness in the Liverpool market
and reports OF more or less general rains
In the belt last night. Again the forecast
pointed to showers and thunderstorms
generally in the South which led TO the
belief that the drought was effectually
broken IN all districts, Nevertheless, as
the session progressed. private kilograms
came to the front and told of critical con-
ditions In portions of Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana through continued
absence of soaking rains.
The Liverpool market rallied Sharply
before the close and New Orleans gave
symptoms of underlying strength. The
summer months shorts turned for cover
as matter of precaution and shorts in
the distant positions became rather easy.
From SIS August advanced steadily to
S.86, while the rise from lowest on Sep
TENDER was a matter of 10 points. Yet,
speculation was dull all day, with the
market finally quiet and steady, with
prices net to points higher. Receipts
were light and the regulation rhase of the
situation were without notable change.
Total sales estimated at about $1,000 bales.

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans July 9.-There were very
few buyers out among the sample rooms
In the spot cotton market today, which
fact Is probably attributable to the poor
assortment of desirable grades being ia
bled. Buyers complain of their inability
to secure other than small lists of the
middling grades.
The sales of the day were 500 bales, in
Guiding 100 to arrive. Quotations were I'M

was points higher for January deliver
les and l to 3 points lower for the nearer
positions. but after the first call the
market became gradually stronger under
the Influence of an active Liverpool mar
ket and an upward tendency of prices at
New York, and the several months were

Murphy G. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, July 9.-Prices in the early
cotton market showed In most instances
a slight decline on very small transac-
lions. Sentiment is against the market
because of the Interpretation and contra
dictory character. One side contends that
the crop is doing finely and the other side
that 1t is doing poorly and thus we witt
ness hesitation on the part of those who
are inclined to take holds We hear much
of short interest everywhere of crop
news Of a character which is misleading.
The European situation is again attract
Ing attention and the probability Of short
time in Lancashire tends to unsettle con-
fidence for the time being
Texas is matter which is so far an
enigma, the beneficial effects of needed
rains being matter of of divergent opin-
ions. Rain fell today at Atlanta, Okla
homa- Abilene, Vicksburg and Palestine.
The South has figured little in recent do
ings In this market. There is no little
fear of a heavy August movement but
so far new cotton has failed to come out
in any such volume as anticipated Port
receipts 1900 against 500 last year. The
market advanced few points during the
morning on absence of sellers.

open air work in her department. Inc
space allotted the women is walled on

The women's basketball team has ex-
perienced difficulty in filling out, its
schedule for the latter part OF the winter
term on account of the smallpox quaran-
tine of many cities with Women's basket
ball teams. Western college at Toledo is
now under the ban Of the board of health
sufficiently to, cause the playing of the
game scheduled to be postponed until the
quarantine is raised. The game will then
be played at Iowa City. .~...a.

BOY SHOOTS A Man
TAYLOR Would, Have Died Had Not

QUEER CASE AT FERGUS FALLS
Wounded Han Prepared to Spend
All His Money, to Secure the
Boys Release.
Snnnial 10 Tha Innrnal

Special to The Journal.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, March ia
shooting affair which may lead to inter-
esting developments occurred in this city
Saturday night, the victim being Frank
Taylor refused, at first, to let her in but
About two years ago Taylor became IN
fatuated with woman named Conan,
whose husband Is said to keep livery
stable at Cold Springs. MINI, Mrs.
Taylor secured a divorce and Mr. Gonon
did likewise, and Mrs. Gonon and Mr..
Taylor have since been undisturbed.
Saturday night Taylor started in the
direction of his former home. where his
divorced wife resides, and Mrs. Gonon
followed and demanded admittance. Mrs.
Taylor refused, at first, to let hir in but
when she threatened to break down the
door she finally unlocked it. Taylor was
not inside, having stopped at the barn,
and the two women appear to have en-
gagged in a handto-hand conflict as soon
as they met.
Mrs. Gonons, son, a boy of about IT,
had followed her into the house, but she
told him to go back to a wagon which
was standing near. He did so, and re-
turned few minutes later with 81
caliber revolver, weapon belonging to
Taylor himself. He began firing imme-
diately,, and Taylor's daughter declares
that the first shot was aimed at her and
came within two inches of her head.
Meantime Taylor had come up and the
boy turned the weapon on him. Only one
bullet took effect, but physicians say this
would have killed him almost Instantly
had it not struck rib, which DETECTED it's
course. AS it is, 1t is feared blood poison
will set in, the bullet having carried a
piece Of clothing into the wound.
The boy fed after the shooting, but was
captured while trying to board the North
ern Pacific passenger train during the
night. Taylor's greatest anxiety now
seems to be to secure the boys release,
and he has turned over a pocket book con-
tanning 400 to friend, telling him to
use all Of il If necessary to get the boy
out of Jail. The authorities are curious to
know why he is so anxious to have him
released. and Will do little investigating
before LETTING him ont nf iai1

make any definite move in his cause until
the courts have reached their decision as
to the legality of his presidency. Ac-
cording to report, Hart was called here
to give Spalding the exact situation in
the east up to date, and as soon as the
lawsuit in New York is settled Spalding
will return to the east and renew his
fight in support of his policy.
If the courts declare in favor of Mr..
spalding he is expected to start a vigor-
GUS campaign at once, unless some COM
promise agreement is reached in the
meantime. 1t is believed that an effort
is being made for some sort of com
promise before the season starts.
