tSpecial to The Advertiser
 NEW ORLEANS, March 2I Liverpool was better than looked for in consequence of the puilish visible supply figures. Our market re- sponded by opening 7G6 points higher on near ana 4uo on late months and improved IG3 aaditional on fresh buying, subsequently re- aiizlng to secure profit occasioned a decline ot 5g6 from the top. making the net gain 2 u4 points on the day. The spinners' 'takings or American cotton during the week were 2I3;ooo against l7e. 900 last year and the total takings to date aggregate 76o4 900. against 7ol2 900 last year, an excess of oS2,oOO over last year. Using Mir. Ellison S latest estimate of oe2o 900 American con sumption this year. find the spinners sur plus stock In the invisible is 2I64 OoO agalnst |, ,622 900 last year, or an excess of o52'ooO. the visible supply of American to date Is 663.o0o under last year. but of this the spinners of the world have taken 5e2 900 more than last year and now hold in stock osZ'ooo over last year. This demonstrates that spinners are carrying the cotton in the invisible supply at the expense of the visible. Tn other words spinners anticipated an ad- vance before the spectators and laid in a iarse supply on cheap basis, their enormous taklngs and heavy stocks place them in an in dependent position and they may at any time withdraw from the market and fall hack on their reserve supply. The floods in the valley are interfering with the traffic and curtatlinR receipts, consequently the movement is expected to continue light until normal conditions again prevail. Speculation is restricted for the mo ment as outsiders evidesce no disposition to enter the market at present prices. Supply ana demand. however. will ultimately regulate values.

 TRv Privata VIra

NEW YORK, March 2l.-Cables were quite satisfactory today, the Liverpool market mak- ing an advance of 2a3 points. The weekly Liverpool report indicated no dlminution in the strength Of that market to the stocks The weekly figures have gained but 5000 in the supplies of all kinds In warehouses and lost 2I,OoO in the amount anoat while the total Of both is now 356, 900 less than last year
 which Is still very bulish feature in the situation. Great Britain has taken 25o 900 bales less cotton from this country since Sept
 lst and with this statistical showing 1t is useless to weakening market at this time when the old crop is growing smaller than looked for and the new getting a very late start. Atlanta had heavy rain and there was quite fall at Vicksburg. but otherwise 1t was light. The market opened 446 points higher on fair demand, prices advanced 3G4 points after the opening. Sellers were holding back and the indications were for a movement next week not exceeding last years by over 1000. if that. Port receipts today were es- tmated at 3 900. against | 8, 900 last year

May was on to hgxc at the start, opening at 73h 9/3M under the influence of favorable wealth CT, the predicted cold wave not having mate rialized to the extent of doing any damage to the growing crop. A good deal of wheat bought yesterday under the expectations of colder weather, consequently was offered for sale at the opening. but the demand linn clined. Considerable long wheat came out on the decline which added to the weakness and the closing hour of the session was exceedingly weak Final figures on May were lh8t% lower at 72%672A after the price had touched 72&.

PROOF CONCLUSIVE
Colonel PearsaIi Says Case
Against Alfred Daniel
Was a Clear One.

Col P. NJ. Pearsall, who returned Sun
day evening from Trenton, where he was
one of the counsel who prosecuted the
negro Alfred Daniel for the murder OF
Mr.. F. G.. Simmons, father of Senator F.
NJ. Simmons, says that the evidence upon
which Daniel was convicted of murder
III the first degree was perfectly clear
and conclusive The witness John Par.
ker and others, who were the first 20
reach Mr. Simmons, found his gun some
distance away from him, with he butt
end toward the place where the negro
stood. The gun was positively not cooked,
and this fact was shown absolutely and
directly by those witnesses. When ther
first picked up the gun they broke it,
and found that neither one of the shells
had been exploded. Then they closed it
and pulled the trigger, but the safety
catch was on. 1t was a hammeriess
gum and Mr.. Pearsall, fearful lest it
might be one of those that come to safety
" hen closed after being broken. examined
it closely, and says it was not one of that
kind. When the catch was released, 1t
would remain cooked even after being
broken and closed again. SO the fact
that the gun could net be fired when
the trigger was pulled showed that Mr.
Simmons had not released the safety
catch

Case of George smith Against seaboard Air
Line seing Tried his Week

Wake Superior Court convened ut $50
o'clock, His Honor, Robert b. PEBBLES,
Judge presiding.
The case of Mary Stewart, administra-
trix for S. a. Stewart, who was killed in
a railroad accident, against the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, was continued.
Judgment was rendered i'll the case of
the Western Assurance Company against
the Wake Water Company, awarding five
cents to the plaintiff, taxing the defend
ant with the costs.
non-suit judgment was rendered in
the case of ". F. Ut!ey against S. s.
Rogers.
The case of George Smith, by his near
est friend. j. NJ. Smith, his father, was
called yesterday afternoon, George Smith
being under age.
Smith is suing the Seaboard Air Line
Railway for 10000 damages, which he
claims to have sustained by losing his right
arm and right leg on a shifting engine
early in 1902.
The case was before tried in the October
term of Superior Court, 1902. but result
ed in a mistrial. the jury being unable to
agree.
Several character witnesses for the
plaintiff. including Tom Clay, Ben Frank
lin, S. H. Pool and others, and Tom Clegg
brakeman, for facts, were examined.
After having rested the case the defense
moved for a dismissal for want of suf-
ficient evidence. The judge oveTuled this
motion and the defense put witnesses on
the stand
Miss Cotton, trained nurse at Rex Hos
pital whose testimony in 1902 was type
written, was not called to the stand, her
evidence taken by a stenographer being
read Her testimony was 20 the effect
that Smiths leg was amputated twice
Misses Elizabeth Duncan and l.. d. Mer-
rill also trained nurses at Rex Hospital,
were examined.
Mr.. L. a. Moore of Charlotte. and sew
eral other witnesses for the defense testi-
fed
The engineer on whose engine Smith
was injured, testified to the fact that Il
box car loose from the engine had run
down grade and struck the engine, which
! happened twice, and the second time he
heard some one hollow, and upon inves-
tigation discovered that Smith had been
hurt. Smith said he had attempted to
cross the tender OF the engine and had
reached the bumper when the car smashed
into the engine.
The case will probably not be given TO
the jury for several days, it having taken
five days TO try it before.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
! Messrs Douglass and Simms and J. c. l..
Harris. and representing the railroad are
Judge Womack and Mr. Armistead Jones

Face Badly Burned.

Altonzo Rogers, colored boy OF Is or
IL years OF age, was seriously. but not
fatally burned about the face yesterday
morning at the Caraleigh Phosphate Mills.
The accident happened III this way:
Three men were working on what is called
the acid cgg." which Is vessel used N
the manufacture of sulphuric acid. TWO
OF them went to the shop to work on
pipe, and the other man went to the
well TO get a drink OF water. Rogers
who is employed about the mill, took 4
hight and peeped into the egg, TO see
what was there. The fame from his
torch caused an explosion, and his lace
was badly burned. The mill authorities
Immediately sent for DR.. A. W. Goodwin,
who reached there at half past eleven,
half an hour after the accident. The boy
was at once sent to Rex Hospital, where
he Is now DR.. Goodwin said last nig@t
that the burns, while very painful, are
Lot deep. The egg" Is under the acld
building, and it was stated at the mill
that it was strictly against the rules
for anyone to carry fire under there.
