Virgin 6 Faunce'o Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, May 29.-There was an easy opening to the cotton future market first prices being at decline of 1 to Il points Tho beartsh start was the natural result of unsatisfactory cables from the English mar ket, especially regards the sales of spot cotton, which were reported at only 4OOO bales. This was taken confirming the pre- vious claims of a subsiding demand for actual cotton However in the local speculative pit there was considerable buying for the short account. the bears covering freely in conse- quence of the holidays. and under the circum- stances the market improved somewhat. The trade, however, was slack and without much importance. The new crop months were ner- vous as natural result of conflicting advices with regard to the growing crop. The gen. eral impression, however, that the aver age conditions were improving and that the lateness was being gradually made up. The in sight movement for the week smaller than had been expected. and this had some in fuence in encouraging the bulls. The spot markets were steady and quiet with unim- portant transactions. There still some talk that the mills in the Lowell district would were without feature. The late trade was of holiday nature and closing sentiment was reopen Monday, but the cotton cloth advices conflicting

S W. II NEW YORK, May 2s,-New crop months and crop news have been the feature this week This from a speculative standpoint as distant options were decidedly more active than the old crop months. developments in the
 last named not being of a nature to arouse very much enthusiasm the course of prices there. An extensive short interest creat-
 cd on mistaken theory of the probable course or the fall positions bought considerable cotton and professional operators seemed to find more pront in trading in the distant than in | the near positions. In this respect the market was the most important of the early summer
 as 1t indicates the shifting of interest to the developments of the next crop and not in what
 may happen to July and August. There has been good tone in October cotton with prices 1uctuating extensively and very favorable for traders This morning the Commerce Journal published first crop summary of the season This publication has very good standing in the community its reports foreshadow the government condition in a very acute fashion
 The condition given therefrom was 75 The fig ures are very low, lower than any expect ed and only serve to show that the present crop has one of the poorest stands in recent years. The next weeks report from Washing
 ton is likely to be low and indicate that there will be grounds for natural improvement in
 the crop during remainder of the season. We are not inclined to agree with figures on acre. age. however. the increase in our opinion is decidedly more than 1 per cent and we shall
 not be surprised to see figures of more than per cent circulated later on. Weather at pres ent is decidedly better and during last ten days the crop has made improvement over | the very unsatisfactory condition early in the | month. For this reason and because prices | have advanced to point which discounts the | unfavorable start we not disposed to buy 1 the new crop options at 9i1 cents. We would call attention to the rapidly increasing stock of cotton at this point. From the 75 900 bales in New York on May 1. we now have 175. GOO.
 This cotton is known to be controlled by the
 people who are short of July. One of two
 things must happen. Either July will break
 during the next three weeks to a point that
 will repay the holders of spot cotton to cover and retain their holdings of the actual stiff or this cotton will be turned over to the holders of July contracts. As the strongest interests in the market do not appear to favor ad- vance sin July we believe they strong | enough to make such an advance extremely Iimprobabl

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
TRADING IS OF AN EVENING UP

NEW YORK. May 29-The cotton market opened easy at decline of lQll points under rather disappointing cables and sold still a little lower, reaching a level of 3a15 points be- low the closing of yesterday with July sell ing at HOS; August at lo:5s and September sE. Almost immediately, however. the market
 was rallied sharply under too much rain re- ported fin Oklahoma, small port receipts for
 the day and urfavorable private estimates of crop conditions which placed the average con dition at about 75 per cent compared with SIS per cent compiled from practically the same sources at this date last year.
 The same authority places the increase in
 acreage at S-10 of 1 per cent. This excited
 fresh apprehension as to the probable show
 ing of the government report June { and
 shorts covering July sold up to H. .26, August
 lO61 and September to 10.06. Then came a
 period of 'irregularity filth fluctuations gener- any unfmportant and prices ranging from about l to points under Thursdays close.
 speculation was very quiet and the trading was largely of an evening up character in view of the approaching holiday with the Liv- erpool market to be closed on Monday and also on June and 6. In the last hour there was little more activity and some further covering which rallied prices to about the best Of the day, but this was followed by renewed realizing and the market finally quiet at unchanged prices to a decline of points Total sales futures estimated 100. 900 bales Port receipts today 3o5S against ,5140 bales last year Estimates for leading points tomorrow moderate.

The stocks in Liverpool showed further loss during the week. Local prices rallied rapidly right after the opening. Little cotton Is for sale. The crop was looking too poor and sellers were afraid to enter the market the holiday. Mississip- pi reports were quite poor and everybody was taking pessimistic view the crop in cluding the bears who contended that prices were high enough. Cables were steady at 1 to points decline.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

81 am NO advocate of lynching
or Of mob law, but l would rather
see a community wrought to the
highest pitch over crimes that
would seem impossible this side
of hell than to remain apathetic,
was the declaration of the Rev.
DR.. w. A. Bartlett, at the First
Congregational church, in Chicago
in a prelude on "Lynching, From
Another Point Of View"
DIR. Bartlett SAID among other
things:
IL have seen so many sermons,
editorials and resolutions denoun-
cling Iynehing and mob law that
one gets the impression that the
citizens who hang or burn the de-
stroyer Of life, home, and all that
j. held sacred by womanhood, are
the race offenders rather than the
monster whom they destroy.
1--WE seem TO be so absorbed
with the majesty Of this vague
term law that the notion appears
to prevail that tie criminals are
those who do not wait for legal
processes, and the violator of
wcmanhood is the abused party.
awe shudder at the torture OF
the criminal who is burned, but
apparently forget to shudder for
the innocent girl, whose mental
and spiritual agony is ten.fold
greater than that Of the FIRE. This
is not a race problem, except so
far as one race are the offenders.
The white man who commits the
same crime is just as guilty.
"The indignant uprising OF a
community. and some OF the best
men in il, 70 avenge a wrong o!
such awful magnitude may beteeh.
