COTTON. MARKET UNCERTAIN
First the Bears and Then the Bulls
Seem to Have hest Of
Situation. :('

NEW YORK, May a.-It was q badly
mixed crowd that surrounded the pit In the
cotton market this morning, ~ -
In the first place, the Liverpool cables
were almost as sensationally weak as they
had recently been strong. In, addition to
this. the weather map again reflected IA
vorable conditions, and early estimates in
dicated that port receipts for the day would
greatly exceed last year. These factors
naturally caused a bearish feeling, but on
the other hand the tactics of the late bull
leader has rendered the average operator
fearful OF further sensational shows Of
strength, so at the opening there seemed a
disposition to let the big men OF either side
set the pace and establish the initial range
Of prices. 20
At the start bears had the best of It,
prices being l5Qls points lower. with Au.
gust at l07Sc and September at R7Oc
Following this after some irreEularity
there was sharp rally under the bull sup
port. -
When the closing cables from LIVERPOOL
indicated an utterly demoraiized condition
there. the near months closing at a decline
Of isltq22 points, there was rush OF realiz.
ing In the local market. In hve or ten min
utes July sold from IL. l0c, the best OF the
morning, to lO.sOc, a loss since last night ~

DEBTS LESS THAN A MILLION
Liabilities of the Porter Brothers
Company OverestImated in
the First Report.

CHICAGO, May 21.-According to state
ment made by Attorney Defrees OF Defrees,
Bruce & Ritter, counsel for the receivers
of Porter Bros company, the magnitude
of the concerns embarrassment has been
over estimated in the printed reports OF the
failure.
IT know already that the liabilities are
in excess OF $SOO.OOO" said Mr.. Defrees,
''and l don't know how much higher they
will mount. II any. when we are fully
informed. 1t Is ridiculous to state, how
ever, that the liabilities will reach sa,-
O00O00."
As to the events which led up to the
crash, Mr.. Defrees said he did not know
positively. '"The company has been branch
ing out recently in addition to doing
very large business. / suppose that Mr.
Watson, the president, tried to realize
money on securities of some sort and
failed"
The firms creditors, most Of whom are
banking institutions and warehouse COM
panies, are scattered all over the country,
although confined chiefly to the large cities.
The reason given for suppressing the facts
concerning the feeling OF the petition was
that all creditors might receive notihca-
ton simultaneously.

SEEKS TO SET ASIDE A WILL
Nebraska woman After Property
Left by Her Father to a
school.

CHICAGO. May 21.-(speciai Telesram.)--
A bill was filed in the United States cir
cult court today to declare invalid certain
provisions in the will of Legrand L. Wells,
who died at watseka, III, twenty years
ago. These provisions concerned trust
fund of $4,000 to be used in establishing
and maintaining a school for poor boys at
Watseka. The city OF Watseka donated a
lot for this purpose and the building was
erected in 1898. The school has never been
started, however. the income from the trust
fund being insufficient for keeping up the
institution.
virginia w. Tincher of Nebraska, who
filed the bill, says she is the only daughter
and heir-at-Iaw of the testator. She de-
clares that the city OF Watseka had no
authority under its charter TO donate land
for the school, and inasmuch az IL is i'm
possible to carry out this provision Of the
will she asks that II be declared invalid
and that the money be awarded to her.

general assembly of the Presbyterian
church convened in this city this morn

700 accredited commissioners were absent
from their seats when Rev. DR.. Henry
Van Dyke called the gathering of church
notables to order, and the spacious galleries
OF the church were crowded by visiting and
local church people.
The campaign for moderator continued
up to the hour for calling the assembly to
order, and everything points to the election
OF Rev. Dr. Robert r. Coyle, pastor OF the
Central Presbyterian church OF Denver. at
this afternoons session, by a large ma
jority over the other candidates Or. Coyle
is very popular with the creed revision ele-
ment of the general assembly, which is
Just now in a strong majority. DIR. Coyle
will be nominated by DR.. William N. Page
of Topeka, Kan, who was himself men
toned as a prominent candidate. for the
moderatorship until he withdrew from the
race in favor of DR.. Doyle.
Dr. william H. Roberts of Philadelphia
and DR. Calvin w. Mater of Chicago are
the other two candidates.
A notable feature OF the present general
assembly is the unusually large number
Oh young men among the
Comparatively few OF the older men, who
had heretofore shaped the policy Of the
Presbyterian church. were in attendance,
This is explained by the fact that the
campaign for commissionerships to the

younger element OF the church won out
The opening OF the assembly this morning
resembled the usual church service. There
