A. B. Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 nAn yIro

NEW YORK March g. The early cotton market dull and prices showed little change The disposition to await fresh developments and especially in regard to the weather situation, which considered of ut most importance. Bears have been contending for some time that wet weather alone was re- sponsible for the moderate movement and that a few weeks of fine weather would bring cot
 ton out in immense quantities While the re- ports this morning showed the best weather conditions for many weeks. there being no rain of importance over the entire South, the fore cast for rain all the Gulf States and up to Arkansas and over the greater portion Of Atlantic States. With this situation
 sellers not disposed to take chances and left bulls in undisputed possession, although there not much eagerness to buy. Prices worked up a few points during the morning. but business continued very dull. Port receipts were estimated at 4, 900 bales. against 8 900 last year. The forecast was for rain in most sections and this steadied the market Cables showed 62 points loss with the tone easy.

!Over Private Leased Wire.1
 NEW YORK. March l9.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened quietly at a decline of point to advance of much. The trade on the whole was comparatively in- active, although the tendency of values was quite satisfactory to the average trader in the room Commission houses were poorly supplied with orders from the outside and 1t was ar gued that outsiders generally were disposed to hold off for fresh developments in connec- tion with the market position of the socalled bull element Wire houses also without important orders either way The local con tingent was in absolute control of the situa- tion. but the nit factors were not inclined to push their standing in direction the other. The advices from the English market indicated that the erstwhile buyers from the far East had withdrawn from the market and this regarded unfavorahle Circum- stance, but the bears were not disposed to be aggressive. In that the flood news was re- ear1ed unfavorable on account of tn" con tinued rising of the stage of water in the Mississippi River. The foreign orders went to both sides of the account. Liverpool selling August and buying the new crop positions. This buying based presumably on the re- ports from this side to the effect that the planting would be late and that the crop in general would be started under rather unsat- isfactory conditions. The spot markets were steady. Al the close of the market the feeling was Inclined to the bull side and the profess sionals were in full control.

GIRL MASQUERADED AS
MAN FOR EIGHT YEARS.
Daughter of Mississippi Farmer
Worked in Fields in Male Attire
TO Get Start in Business.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Jackson. Miss, July 1S.-Prentiss County
is much puzzled over the manner in which
Miss Willie Ray Of that county managed
to palm herself off as man for nearly
eight years without her sex being doubted
even by the most intimate friends and
neighbors.
Miss Ray has resided in Prentiss County
since 1895. and in the first five or six years
worked for various farmers for monthly
wages. She dressed in the ordinary male
attire of a farm hand. and made regular
trips to Bonneville. the county seat. each
back. and to all outward appearances being
neat-loolting boy OF quiet. gentlemanly
habits. although a steady user of tobacco
in chewing and smoking form.
Willie was known all over the county as
a first-class field hand. a hard worker. and
good for debts. Last year the girl in man s
masquerade decided TO start out as an indi-
vidual farmer instead of field hand and
rented a small farm. opened a store ac-
count, and commenced TO get in debt as all
ANAL farmers are expected to do.
Last week her sex was unexpectedly re-
vealed at the Courthouse in Bonneville.
and since that time Willie has been COM
PEELED to don female garments. She Is
originally from Tennessee. about % years
of age. and when interviewed concerning
her reasons for assuming the role of a man
said that she did 1t in order 10 go out and
do mans labor for a livelihood.
