COTTON MARKET
 WORKS UPWARD Gained on Demand from Wall
 Street Bulls ROOM BEARSVERY NERVOUS Liverpool Cables Were Not Much of a Factor Either Way, But the Weather Chart Again De-
 noted Heavy Rains.
ROOM BEARSVtRY NERVOUS

New York, October 3-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices to points higher on moderate general buy ing and then worked up an additional point or two on demand from Wall street bulls and the more nervous room bears. Later, however. the whole list eased off to the close of yesterday, at which level speculation dropped off to the set clement of scattering and trades with opinions as to the probable showing of the noon government report as sixes and sevens.
 The Liverpool cables were not much of a factor either way, but the weather chart again denoted heavy rains over the western section of the belt and harm ful precipitation in several districts of the central belt. The week end statis- ticai statements were about as expected and made little impression upon local traders.
 Just before F o'clock there was 8 sharp break to 5.75 for January under a movement to iquidate. based on fear of condition over 50. Then came the announcement of .5s.s on wheat shorts scramble for cover and the bull traders sought to regain former supremacy. For the balance of the session a battle royal between leading longs and shorts was fought out with the net results showing the bulls holding much the better posi- ton.
 All through the afternoon the market displayed a tendency to work upward January selling repeatedly at SEQ or within two points of the previous top ar.z Fov Cox, Ia. sion houses became vigorous buyers of the winter and remote deliveries, the south and some foreign interests sent buying orders in the fall deliveries. The market at the close was steady and net I to s points higher. Total sales were estimated at 500O GOO bales. Export clear ances were again large though some what less than the total port receipts. Private spot market news reflected in- creased strength on more arbitrary attitude of hoI-ers.

New orleans Market.

New Orleans. October S.--In the cotton market today there seemed to be a gem eral disposition on the part of buyers up to Il a. m. to hold off and await develop ments resulting from the receipt of the bureaus monthly crop condition report, and when the report did come in the weather was so indictment that trading was very much retarded. The sales were 2400 bales, including 600 to arrive. Quota tions were unchanged.
 The future market opened to points higher and huctuating up to II a. m. over a range of to 6 points in either d. rection. standing at the opening range when the bureau report. came in. The re- port was a surprise. A few leading bulls, as soon as the figures 5S.3 were an- nounced, made frantic efforts to run prices skyward. They jumped December points. January points and March noints. from which level they quickly re- ceded. leaving the net gain at noon but to 8 points above the opening figures Later on the market took another upward turn the board at the close showing net gains of to points compared with yes- terdays closing.

TIE cRopsEY MURDER CASE.
James Wilcox Found Guilty Of Drownls6
the Girl Of whom He Was
EnamOred

Elizabeth, N. c.. March 24.-Jsmes
Wilcox was found guilty Of the MUIR
der Of Nellie Cropsey. The jury.
after being out 80 hours, brought in
q verdict Of guilty in the first de-
gree. Miss Cropsey disappeared
from her home last November. 6sv.
sral weeks later her body was found
In a river. Wilcox was her sweet
heart. When arrested he made con-
ficting statements. Militia guarded
tho Jail where he was to prevent
lynching.
The verdict that young Wilcox was
guilty Of the murder Of Miss Nellie
Cropsey seems to have met popular
approval. Lawyer Aydlett, for the
defense, will enter an appeal on be-
half of the prisoner. He will seek
to set aside the verdict on the ground
that it was not consistent with the
evidence brought out in the trial.
There is little prospect Of the prison
sr's paying the death penalty on the
date set by Judge Jones. As the
supreme court does not meet till next
September 1t Is more than probable
that 1t will be twelve months before
the case Is disposed Of finally.

Commissioners Of Immigration Fitohis asd
His Assistant VIII Not Be Kept 10
Once BY the President.

New York, March 24.-Commis.
sioner of immigration Fitchie, who
has returned from Washington,
talked freely yesterday of his call on
President Roosevelt. He said he felt
that his visit had done no good and
that both he and Assistant Commits
sioner McSweeney would have to
leave their positions. He said: II
asked the president to send gentle
men Of his personal selection, in
whom he had perfect confidence, over
to the island and let them look into
our methods and see where we could
do any better for the immigrant than
We are doing. He would not listen
to my proposition, but said that he
had decided, because Of the friction
between New York and Washington,
that the best thing to do was to re-
move the commissioners at this place.
l told him he was mistaken; that
there had never been any friction be-
tween New York and Washington,
but between Washington and New
York. He would not listen to any
argument. but fatty announced his
determination that both Mr.. Nc
Sweeney and myself must 60" Mr..
Fitchis knew nothing as to who his
successor Is to be, nor when the ap-
pointment is to be made.

yesterday afternoon in East Sedalia
by Edgar Allen, playmate Of his
own age. A Jesse James company

dience of about 50 boys. Allen was
playing the part of Jesse James,"

to capture the bandit Allen took a

volver, the ball entering Martins
head near the right ear and passing
