negro was killed and another fatally wounded by band of whitecappers last night. There were fifteen or thirty in the mob, which made its appearance at the home of the negro preached named John l1illikin, and after gaining entrance de- manded a light. Millikin told his wife not to strike match but she did so. and at the same time Millikin made his exit through back door. He was command ed to halt. but continued to run until brought down by a volley. Millikin died almost instantly and nine bullet holes were found in his body.
 John Hunter, a son-in-law of Mfllikin was made to accompany the mob on a fruitless search for another negro, and In an attempt to escape was fatally shot in the back. The wife of Millikin was struck over the head with a gun and painfully injured.
 No cause Is assigned for the killing, as both Millikin and Hunter are said to have borne good regulations. The coroner's jury returned verdict to the effect that the negroes were shot by a masked mob unknown to the jury. The work of the mob is strongly denounced by law-ahidA

Predictions of cIearin1 weatfef ih Texas shortly after caused H re cession of 2G4 points and values therefore ruled quiet and steady until the issuance of the weekly weather report.

The summary of the weekly weather report was as follows: ''The improve inent Tn cotton continues generally throughout the cotton belt. Fruiting we'll although too rank growth in the portions of the central and western districts and shedding on sandy lands m the Carolinas are reported. Rains have been detrimental in the central and southeastern portions or the cotton area in Texas but have been beneficial in the northern portions while a few of the southwestern counties of Texas. Clear. warm weather is needed in Louisiana and Texas. The crop continues late AdvIces from Liverpool were of an optimistic tenor and sentiment continues very bulish locally consequently there is an absence of selling which accounts for the ease attending an enhancement on, the appearance of fresh buy ing orders.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-The cotton market opened tame. August advanced o points and other months 2d5 points. Cables were without special significance. The weather news was of no great importance early in the day and 1t Is seldom that there has been such an utter lack of business It seems to be a waiting market. It is recognized everywhere that we are passing through the most critical period of the year. and that the market will be in- fuenced in a greater less degree by the character of the daily crop news. The crop situation is not quite understood just now and it will probably require some time before we know just what shape 1t is in. It may be said that the Winter months are firmly held and that selling of them is being discouraged everywhere. The spinning element is sure to get scared whenever We hear of tn crop get ting in bad shape and it is generally agreed that since the crop is so late anything like an immense crop is not to be considered the com ing season. It is seldom that the market showed so little life as was the case this morn ing. CableE were lG94 points higher The weekly bureau report, as expected. was bullsh

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug 4.-Eneiish advices convey the Idea that spinners are not by any means pleased with the prospect and fl now appears that curtailment will extend to the continent. Liverpois course of today may he oescribed as mildly buliish. rehecting the na- tural desire for a clearer view of the situa- ton before taking a decided stand in either direction. Weather reports unquestionably re- ceive more attention than any other feature connected with the cotton market. the weekly Government weather reports therefore possess one issued today does not fully sustain fine roseate view held in some quarters but on the contrary causes an uneasy feeling. The report Is rather mixed and whtle noting further crop Improvement, mentions the uneven distribution of moisture during the past week. Excessive rains in some sections and want of moisture in others. sheddingh on sandy lands and a too rank growth in portions fin the central and western districts being reported. while the boil weeyil apears to be more destructive in some of the western counties of Texas. The crop continues late. in other words the document does not answer all the requirements There was a noticeable absence of the desire to sell short so greatly in evidence during the past ten days and the cotton market seems to be undergoing a hardening process with the voI- tune of business decidedly restricted and the public keen observers. but not participants Consistently the important documents put be- fore the trade. during the past two days the narrow fluctuations are truly remarkable aI- remains enveloped in doubt. The lively times expected in New York on yesterday failed to develop, although at the end of 'today's ses- sion ther Mir. Sully was reported to be a heavy buyer of the October option, resulting in an advance of some 10 points.
