COTTON FUTURES.

New York. March 4.-There was
change to-day, and prices at the close
showed a net loss of II to 81 points
from the final figures of yesterday.
Prices broke with such extreme vio-
lence and under such enormous trad
ing that at one time it looked as
though a panic might develop, but
this was avoided by support from the
bull leader.
The selling orders dumped on the
market were said to have been the
heaviest since the collapse of the at
tempted corner in the fall of 1896.
Total sales for the day were esti-
mated at 100000 bales.
The opening was easy at a decline
of to 8 points, and aside from brief
show of strength following the call.
when prices were forced up from to s
points as a result of room covering and
clique support, ruled generally weak
under active and excited manipulation
throughout the session. The initial de-
cline was largely the result of weaker
Liverpool cables, which, due to come
about unchanged to ~ points lower,
reported a decline of from to 6 and
61k points before the time of the New
York opening. Selling was also en-
couraged by the outlook for receipts,
which were estimated at 10000 and
which turned out 29.01S bales against
1850 bales last year.
The weather reported throughout the
South was again unfavorable to the
movement, and many of the room
traders having gone home short last
night were tempted to cover at this
mornings lower level. The clique brok-
ers also supported the market openly,
and this for time impaired a stead
Ter tone to the situation in connection
with reports from Fall River of an
advance in price of print cloths. But
the estimates for to-morrow's receipts
at leading points were heavy. show
ing a continued expansion of the
movement, Notwithstanding the bad
weather and reports from Southern
spot markets indicated a less pressing
demand from exporting interests.
Prominent Philadelphia spot interests
also sent in large selling orders here.
orders were reported in constantly in
creasing volume and commission
houses were free sellers, contributing
to the decline.
The 'in-sight" for the week was
estimated at 10000 bales. against 1884,
6S1 bales last year, and the exports to-
day were light, reaching only 1865
bales. Southern spot markets were 1-16
to Nc lower, and the New York price
was marked down 20 points to 1925.
After the close July sold at $50, a
further break of points from the Of
fetal close.

Raxter & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York. March 4.-Cotton lost 5
to, points early in morning when the
feeling was feverish. Although there
was more or less rain all over the
South, and a threatened overflow Of
the Mississippi, there was. on the 9TH
er hand sharp decline in the Liver
pool market and indications of the port
movement doubling last years figures
of $1,000 bales. The uncertainty as to
what step might be taken by the
clique led to selling by recent buyers,
and there was a more nervous feeling
shown for some time. The advices
by mail from the South denoted a
hesitating attitude on the part of spec
ulative element, although it was be-
lieved that the statistical situation
still warrants a very high market and
farm work in Texas is so far back
ward that it is already predicted that
the first government report from that
state ninety days hence will be one of
the worst on record, instead of one of
the best, as was the case last year.
The market weakened as much as ten
points before noon and there was more
offering than for some time. The de-
cline was regarded as only temper
airy. Cables were unsettled at 4 to s
decline. Yarns at Manchester easier
and cloth offers were too low.

New York, March 4.--Our market
opened with sales of May at 9.99@10,
and after selling at $685. ruled at $50
at p. m. Continental and Egyptian
selling in Liverpool, together with the
increase in the receipts at the interior
towns broke that market badly. Here
the liquidation was checked at 1oc by
the buying by the pool only to break
through whenever their support was
withdrawn. After the larger estimates
for New Orleans and Galveston were
posted, stop orders were struck on the
break to 9.SS for May. This decline of
nearly 80 points from the high point
brought in some new support and a
rally is expected on the large holdings
of May by the bull crowd, whether it
will again advance will depend upon
the receipts at the ports and interior
if they continue large spinners will
withdraw and the cotton will come to
this market, which has been the high
est for several days. The pool gave the
market no support during the after
noon as the traders had expected, and
the market broke on their selling out
and stop orders. The spot market was
quiet, 20 pionts lower; middling 1925,
last year 9h.

prices opened down 2@6 points and

100 points additional There were oc-
casional reactions, but the trend was
distinctly downward. Trading through

The Morning News Office,
Wednesday, March 4. 1908.
The cotton market absorbed most of
+he days speculative interest, and ex-
element was high in that market. 1t
was decidedly a bear day, for prices
ran off over 30 points for some of the
active months, with the close weak at
the lowest.
The marked weakness came from. a
general disposition to unload at a
time when the bull clique were not
10 points due to Liverpool cables, the
CLIQUE came to the rescue, and brought
about a rally of or points. Later,
when Liverpool closed unsettled and
estimates for receipts came rather
large, the selling pressure became too
heavy. and many stop orders We're
caught, thus accelerating the decline.
The sharpest and quickest slump came
shortly before the close. The weak
ness was general, although the dis
tant months did not fare quite as bad
ly as the nearer ones. May closed SO
points off, July %; but July lost points
more on the curb after the regular
close. August lost 26 points; Sep
TENDER %, and November Is points.
The decline in New Orleans reached
about "a points, with a few points rally
at the close, so that the net loss for
May was u points; market closed
steady at the decline.
In the local spot market there were
no sales, but quotations were put down
&c at the close. Neither local nor in
terror holders as yet show any dispo-
sition to meet the drop in the leading
future markets.
The naval stores market remained
firm with moderate business at pre-
vious quotations.
New York stocks were not so active
as yesterday, and after a little early
bear movement, the market assumed a
steadier tone, with good advances in
some issues. Some others are lower,
and the close was irregular.
In the Chicago market, grain was
generally a trif1e lower hIif rr0Vi Si0I1c
continued strong, with lard again
leading the advance.
In the local miscellaneous markets is
to be noted an advance of points in
all grades of sugar.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CONVICTION, Ind, July AT 4:30 this
afternoon the fate of Mrs. Elmira A. Drake
was placed in the hands OF the jury. At 4
o'clock Charles McCabe, special attorney
for the State, closed his argument of four
hours. Then Judge Rabb instructed the
jury He explained to the jury the indict-
ment under which Mrs. Drake was tried.
ITO justify a verdict of guilty in the case"
he said you must be convinced from the
evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that
Robert j. Drake was dead when the indict-
ment was found, that he died from zine or
tartar emetic, that they were given by de-
PENDANT or through her, with intention to
kill. If there is any doubt in your minds
as to any of these facts you must acquit
the defendant
The judge further said: I'm reaching q
verdict it is proper to consider relations Of
Drake and his wife 10 each other. The OBJ
lection of Mrs. Drake to having an autopsy
held on the body of her husband in itself
does not prove that she is in any manner
guilty of his death, and her past record
should not in any manner interfere with
the decision.
Up to 3 o'clock report had been re-
ceived from the jury, though it is said sew
eral ballots have been taken without deci-
sion. Many persons are of the opinion that
the jury will disagree. Mrs. Drake is in
fairly good spirits and lis of the opinion
that she will be at her home tomorrow
evening. She says she intends leaving the
State forever.
