Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, June 2.-The market
opened at an advance of to 4 points
on moderate transactions. The Liv-
erpool market was higher and fully
responsive to our upward tendency.
There was more or less rain in Texas
and some in the Atlantic states, and
in view of the issue of the bureau re-
mort of the week later in the day,
shorts were keeping well under cover.
Reports as to the crop were not very
encouraging. In fact, the news COM
ing in was rather favorable for the
bulls. Here and there the crop is do
ing better, but on the whole slow pro-
gress is being made and the impress
sion prevails that the crop will have
to do much better If present prices
are to give way. On the other hand
should we enter July with no better
crop prospects than to-day the mar
ket should advance considerably on
the new crop months. The market
declined to points during the morn
ing on the appearance of the weekly

further reports Of food damage In the

the quieter tone OF the grain market
have ground for hope that the harm 10

DRY GoOns.

New York, June 2.-The dry goods
market has not shown as general
signs of improvement as was hoped.
Buyers are conservative, and the high
prices which are still being asked have
acted as a handicap to free trading.
Manufacturers are more determined
than ever to secure advances, and in
addition the determination to curtail

more general.

Harris, Gates & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, June 2.-Harris, Gates &
Co., in their cotton letter to-day state:
Liverpool advices were decidedly
favorable, and prices in the local mar
ket showed some improvement. The
trading in the near positions were light
and the fluctuations comparatively
narrow, the greatest strength being
shown in fall and winter months. The
weekly weather report was more favor
able, and the opinion exists in many
quarters that the price discounts an
unfavorable bureau report. Consider
able long cotton has been accumulated
in the belief that the bureau report
will be bad, and it is argued that even
in case the report is unfavorable, there
will be plenty of cotton for sale.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
a Question.

There is some speculation over the
Rooney case, even after Judge Pol
lock resentences him, making the
date of the execution six months in
advance, instead of three, as under
the old law. 1t is said that Rooney
was convicted under the old law and
any sentence imposed must be under
the new law, which provides an addi-
tional penalty to that imposed under
the law that governed murder cases
at the time Rooney was convicted, in
that it is made a condition that he
must remain in prison six months be-
fore execution instead of three. Many
attorneys say Rooney can escape the
gallows under the change of law, and
that he cannot be placed on trial un-
der the same charge again. If he
should escape on the technicality the
state will be able to convict him of
joint highway robbery and impose a
life sentence.

Lack of Interest.

DR.. r. C. Kelsey, of White Rock, S.
D., secretary of the Tri-state Drainage
Association, calls attention to the lack
of interest shown by the people of
the valley in the prosecution Of the
work. For two or three years several
meetings were held at different points
and much enthusiasm worked up. Sec
rotary Hitchcock set aside $4,000 to
provide for an official investigation of
the conditions in the valley to see
what is necessary to be done to pre-
vent the annual floods:
So far no effort has been made to
prosecute the work and the doctor
wants the matter stirred up again so
a report can be made before the next
congress, when a bill will be intro
duced for the benefit of the Red River
valley settlers.
