COTTON AVERAGES POOR.
Report Issued by Statistician Of Agri
cultural Department Unfavorable
to Crop.

The average condition OF cotton
August 26, according to the monthly re-
port issued by the statistician OF the
Agricultural Department yesterday. was
Ga. compared with S1.o. July 25: ia
August "a. 1901: 6S.2, September 1. 1900
and tcn-year average of 1871.
The present unprecedentedly low av-
erage of condition. which is two -tenths
of point lower than the condition Sep
tember l. 1896. is due mainly TO the re-
ports from Texas and Alabama. in both
of which States the prevailing condi-
tions are nothing less than disastrous.
The average for Texas is three points
lower than at the corresponding date in
1895 and 1901. and is the lowest ever re-
ported for that State.
The average OF condition In the diff
ferent States is as follows:

NEW YORK. Sept 3.-The main char
acteristics of today's stock market were
similar TO those of yesterday. The ag-
= long time-approximately l,475,00C
shares. Notwithstanding an even heav-
Ter volume of business in Reading COM
mon, The trading again showed wide dis
tribution in most Of he prominent rail-
way shares classed as regularly active.
There was considerable irregularity at
intervals, but the more prominent issues
for the most part enjoyed net gains.
Reading common again overshadowed
the general list. over 2S2, 900 half shares
four points, and a recession of 2 per cent
from the new high record. 1Sk 1t fin
ished 1is per cent above Tuesdays clos

There was again a multiplicity- of ru-
mors to account for the enormous deal
ings. Comparatively few persons were
disposed to accept the theory that it re-
Elected to more than very partial and
moderate extent the approaching settle
ment of the anthracite coal strike.
Railroad Stocks Active.
The development of unusual activity in
Pennsylvania Railroad stock and the re-
newed trading on a heavy scale in Bal
timore and Ohio were considered by the
rank and file of the street suggestive of
an important deal.
Southern Pacific retained large share
of yesterdays activity, while Erie COM
mon, Union Pacific. Atchison. and Nor
folk and Western were less important
in that respect, although recording fair
totals. On the other hand decidedly
larger volume CT business was transact
ed in Missouri Pacific. st. Paul, Chesa-
peake and Ohio. New York Central. and
Manhattan Railway.
In most cases improvements in prices
were shown at the opening and in the
carly forenoon, until shortly before
midday. when exaggerated reports of
the accident to President Roosevelt ana
his party caused reactionary move
ment. and the market became decidedly
irregular.
An unfayorable impression was also
caused by the publication of the Gov
tion, however, was a net decline of less
than point in Texas and Pacific.
Significant Move.
In view of the rnmors regarding the
Reading property and the strength Ia
Pennsylvania and Chesapeake and Ohio.
the street regarded the heavy trading
il New York Central, at net gain of
nearly two points. as significant Other
stocks that were conspicuously strong
included Norfolk and Western. which
retained 2Z per cent of an extreme rise
OF nearly ! points: St. Paul, Reading
preferred issues. Illinois Central. Mis-
souri, Pacific, Manhattan, and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit.
Other stocks that advanced to note
worthy extent on light trading included
Rock Island, Hooking Valley, Keokuk
and Des Moines, and the National Rail-
road of Mexico preferred. In the euro
market trading was strong. The fea
tures included extensive dealings ami

SERIOUS CONFLICT AT EVANS.
Constable Rugsenbere Probably Fatal
ly Injured.

Oskaloosa, Jan. 6.-Constable John
Ruggenberg, of Evans. was shot and
fatally injured while attempting to ar
rest Roy Leighton, colored at the Rock
Island depot. Ruggenberg was hit in
the groins, and there is little hope of
recovery.
The tragedy is the outcome of a
fight between some white and colored
boys, originating during a charivan at
a wedding New Years night. A white
boy by the name of julie Laden was
whipped and his clothes cut by color
ed boys. A second fight ensued Fri
day, and that night crowd of twelve
battered down the door of O'Brien's
and proceeded with a rough house.
O'Brien, bartender Paul Evans and
Laden were all knocked senseless and
left lying on the CORY floor. The rest
of the crowd fought until they were
tired out and quit from sheer exhaus-
ton.
In attempting to make arrests Rug
genberg was shot. The crowd then
took the rest of the warrants away
from the injured officer and skipped
out. Sheriff Cricket, two constables
and posse of deputies started in pur-
suit. Eight of the leaders among the
negroes who have been involved III the
trouble were brought here for safe
keeping. Special deputy sheriffs were
placed on guard and the saloons closed
by Sheriff Cricket.
