ARREST /. W. HAWKES.
FOR ALLEGED FRAUD
Confession Of Consprator in Scheme to Secure Ignorant
Mans Property Reads Like Plot Of Blood and
Thunder MeIodrama.

! With the arrest this morning of
II. w. Hewkes, pioneer resident Of
this city, III years Of age, the police
have rounded UP what they allege is
the boldest case Of fraud ever perpe-
trated in this city. Those who were
said to have been duped by the work
of Hawkes. were Police Justice Hin
kle, Chief Of Police Reddy. Harry
Ortman, a Suckers lake rancher, near
Rathdrum. Idaho. who was defrauded
out Of his farm and gulled into Jump
ing the country. and people who were
used as tools by Hawkes. in the carry
ing out of his alleged scheme.
The game said to have been worked
by Hawkes. started a week ago last
Tuesday when Ortman was arrested
on the charge of robbing p. Jolly,
who had shared room with him In
this city the night before. Ortman
was released that day by Justice
Hinkle on $50 bail, furnished by
Harry Hawkes.. the 23-year-old son Of
II. w. Hawkes., the two latter men
pretending to be the friends of Ort-
man. Ortman fled the country and
mas not since peen IOullu.
GETS TITLE TO RANCH.
A day or two later the police were
Informed that the elder Hawkes. had
obtained title to Ortman's ranch and
other property near Rathdrum and
was attempting to dispose of the
same.
This fact led Chief Reddy to believe
that Ortman, who is a densely ignor-
ant man. had been "jobbed," and with
out delay the police department., aid
ed by the sheriff at Rathdrum, start
ed an investigation.
Early yesterday evening p. Jolly,
who claimed to have been robbed by
Ortman was found. submitted a
lengthy written confession which he
had already prepared. and was locked
in the city Jail as Sleeper"
Then the hunt for Hawkes. began.
He could not be found at his apart

THE RICE MARKET,

The movement at Southern points is
well sustained, and under limited Of
ferings the market is strong with hard
ening tendency. Statistical reports
from New Orleans show that the sup
ply is passing promptly out of first
hands, and offerings in such quarter
is practically over with the current
month.
Regarding the growing crop, advices
as an entirety, continue favorable. 1t
is true the stand in some fields is thin
in others grassy; development irregular
and a large per cent scarce more than
under way; the growth is of a healthy
green, full of promise and there is no
scarcity of water manifest in any
quarter. The crop, however, is decid-
eddy late, and harvest will probably be
a month behind that of last season.
Gables and correspondence from
abroad note good demand with firm
tone pointing toward higher prices on
the better qualities.

exporters were on the lookout for
whatever stuff was offering. The open
ing was firm at 4Sc, sales go casks, and
closed firm and unchanged, sales so

large enough to depress the market
From the way the trade look at it now
sharp falling off in the demand is
regarded as the possible depressing
feature when one develops. The statis-
teal situation is not expected to exert
any other than a bullish influence. The
receipts to-day were 1103 casks, and
the exports 2,641 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm and unchanged to-day from an
official standpoint, with sales at the
opening of $50 barrels. 1t was said that
higher prices were paid here in Savan-
nah for several grades, though these
advances are not shown in the official
figures. The receipts were 2,0S2 bar

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans. July 1.-THE spot cot
ton market has improved compared
with the past weeks operations. Prices
advanced an eighth.
In futures the bulls were on a ram,
page to-day and prices at the opening
scared skyward. July was up 90 points
DID August 50, September IT, and the
other months 6 to 10 points higher. At
the opening bullish sentiment was
strong in all quarters; both New York
and Liverpool reports were unexpect-
edly favorable and added to this was
some furious bidding on the part of
the local bull clique. Many New
York houses advised their strong GUS
toners here to bid on heavy margins
for another wide upward movement:
buying on this advice gave the market
additional strength The fluctuations
were numerous and fairly wide. The
list at the close showed net gains on
July of 43 points, August 80, Septem-
Der Is and the most distant positions
to 4 points.

New York, July 16.-Our market
opened with sales of January at $3.50
8. 56c CLOSED $3.50, and after selling
at 9.53Q9.54c, ruled at 5000, barely
steady at p. M. In Liverpool the fea-
ture was the purchase of 5000 bales for
export, which stimulated that market
to marked degree, closing strong on
the summer deliveries. Distant posi-
lions sympathized with the improve
ment, as the recent decline placed new
crops on a basis where spinners be-
came buyers. Here, the strength was
in September where the local traders
were free sellers during the last few
days. August was bid up easily on
small transactions, showing the pres
enoe of short interest which is with
out cotton to fill contracts. The local
trade are disposed to await events
abroad and covered freely. Crop re-
ports are good, the weather being all
that could be asked, and should give
a good chronicle on Saturday and
favorable government report next
Tuesday. A more bullish temper pre-
vailed on the strength of August. In
the last hour the buyers of the morn
ing tried to sell new crops, finding few
buyers. August was best supported at
the close. The spot market was quiet
at so points advance.

Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, July Unsatisfactory ca
bles, especially for the old crop, led
to a hardening of the market this
morning. Early transactions were on
a very small scale, and while nobody
cared to sell the old crop, there was
great disposition to sell the new, but a
fear of doing so. The weather con-
ditions were again ideal, and there
would be no question as to how the
market for the new crop should move
if the usual conditions existed as to
supplies. The consequence is that big
best bears hesitate to sell a bale of
the winter months lest some calamity
overtake the crop in the way of great
er damage by weevil too much or too
little rain and. finally an early cold
snap. There was a good deal of
strength in the old crop during the
morning especially in September and
the steadier tone in the stock market
was making some impression in senti-
ment, which, while favorably disposed
to the old crop and less so to the new,
has not reached that point where OPP
erations are INDUCED in with great
confidence either way. Receipts to-
day were only 100 bales, against 1900
last year. Cables were strong for near
and sttady for distant, at to 49, net
advance.

level of prices not materially changed
from that of last night.
Attention throughout the stock mar
ket world was still concentrated to-
day on the developments in the money
market, and the brighter sentiment
which was felt during the midday ses-
sion was due to the replenishment of
money supplies through the medium
of the foreign exchange market. This
was shown in a break Of nearly y
cent in the pound for demand bills on
London. That this was largely due to
selling of loan bills was made mani
fest by the large offerings by foreign
banking houses in the money market.
The placing abroad of a large portion
of the $40, 900. 900 of Union Pacific notes
also would make a supply of exchange.
Added to these factors was an active
demand for stocks here for foreign ac-
count. Foreign brokerage houses esti-
mated the number of shares bought for
foreign account to-day at $4,000 to co.
900. The effect was perceptible In the
money market, even for six months
loans, which have been held at per
cent, in view of the payment OF that
rate by the large railroad corporations.
Commissions have been exacted in
cases in addition to the per cent,
but exactions by lenders were appre-

the slump in Amalgamated and Smelt-

speculative mind. The presence In the

this had It's part in the lifting Of prices
