Baxter & co.'c Cotton Letter.

New York, July 13.-There was more or less rain in the southwest region, es- pecially in Arkansas and Mississippi. and showery conditions were indicated for all sections within twenty-four hours Ca bles were not especially bullish or bear ish. Mail advices over Saturday were, as a rule, quite satisfactory and the chances are that tomorrow's weekly bureau re- port will read bearish outside of Texas. But on the whole. grass is complained of in many regions.
 There is no reason why new crop months should not be maintained at present prices. New bales will be slow in turning up, and their absence cannot fail to strengthen the market. Tn fact the course of new crop months is sure to be governed by the movement and there will be no cotton of consequence In motion before the end of next month. Opening was 10 points lower Early transactions were on lower scale. Fears of an unsettled stock market scar CT buyers. scalpers were doing most of the business Liverpool turned weak af- ter opening, and this further unsettled the market, especially September. which was pressed for sale.

 Tips from New Orleans were received here of big rise pending in August. but dealings in the old crop were not encouraged in local circles.

SEPTEMBER WAS ACTIVE

New York July 13.--The cotton market opened weak at decline of to 20 points and for time showed considerable ac- tlvity and great weakness as a result or the sensational break in Liverpool the excellent crop weather reported over Sun- day and renewed reports of mills closing In various sections September was the most active position and at one time showed a net loss from the close of Sat urday of 2s points. Later. however, Liver pool showed O steadier tone and recovered part of the early loss, closing net to 12 points lower. This rallied the local market and while trading became less active during the balance of the session, prices displayed genrally upward ten- dency, recovering g to g points of the early loss. But while at the close the tone was steady, prices still showed a net loss for the day of to 12 points. Sales were estimated at 200, 900 bales. The decline in the English market was variously att tributed, some claiming that 1t was the result of tenders on contract while other private cables stated that 1t was due to selling from this side.

The opinion was freely expressed here that the clique, who is working the New York market, is also operating across the water Rumors of financial troubles in Wall street, which were sent out by cotton firm, had their effect for some time, but in the first hour responsible houses In New York denied all knowledge of trouble in financial circles, which gave the market a better feeling and much of the early loss was recov- cred The list at the close showed net losses of 10 points on July, August 5.

A Human FIend

BUCHAREST. March 25.--A terri
BILE instance of brutality has just
come to light in the town of Jassy,
near here. An INSCRIPTIONS villain
named John Popovici forced an elder
ly woman to sign away all her prop
erty to him on condition that he
would support her during the rest of
her days.
AS soon as he had secured her sig
nature to the document. he threw the
old woman into the cellar. stripping
her of all her clothing. and supplied
her only with little bread and
water each day. 1t appears that it
was a part of his diabolical plan to
starve her to DEATH or allow the in
tense cold to end her miserable ex-
istence, unprotected as she was.
After the woman had been confined
in the cellar II days she managed to
escape through a small window and
crawling, naked, on her hands and
knees, for her feet were frostbitten
and useless, she was able to attract
the attention OF the police and told
her story. Popovici fed, but is being
searched for.

was to degenerate Ireland" it trans
ferred about sixth part of the Irish

create new class of harsh and needy
landlords.
Mr.. Gladstone took up the subject
in 1870; the measure he persuaded
parliament to make law, IL not
without faults. was. nevertheless. a
wise and useful reform which has
been carried out in the Irish land
He legalized the tenant right of u
ster, which gave the tenant farmer in
parts of the province. a quasi-propri-
etary interest In his farm: he did the
same for the tenant right growing up
in the other provinces; he secured to
the Irish tenant what was his due,
compensation for the real improve
ments he had made in the land.
In practice the act worked many
injustices and in the end only in
creased discomfort. The outbreaks
of the late '70s was followed by the
land act of 1881. This set up the
famous three Fs." fixity of tenure.

mission was appointed. but the whole
scheme was wound up to in so much
red tape the tenant had to spend
more in lawsuits than he gained In

of this is finally being felt. The gen

GOOD TINES IN SIGHT
FOR THE IRISH TENANTS.

DUBLIN. Ireland. March 25.-The
release of the Irish members of par
lament from Jail meant more than
appeared at the time Everyone saw
it meant the end of the old period of
coercion. but now ii looks as if it
meant the dawn of an era of progress
and good feeling such as Ireland has
never seen.
1t meant good deal for George
Wyndham and the English govern
ment to back down. They started
the strong arm" rule In Ireland and
were beaten by the nattonalists at
their own game. Putting a few Irish
members of parliament in Jail was
a futile revenge, and only increas-
ed the agitation, So the government
not only had to release them, it had
to make n deal with them concerning
the future of Ireland.
Whether there was any actual di-
rect communication between the gov
eminent and the Irish leaders 1t is
impossible to say. 1t may be quite
true that there have been no negotia-
lions of direct or formal character,
but as everyone knows, there are
secret and underground means OF
holding communications if both par
ties desire to do so. The most re-
markablc feature In the situation Is
the confidence with which John Red
mond and w. O'Brien speak of the
coming land bill. They seem very
certain that its proposals will be
satisfactory, and II is difficult TO con
ceive that they would hold the Ian,
guage they do If they were totally
ignorant of It's provisions.
Wyndham. for his part. il con
WINGED that he will be able to sub,

Injunction oils.
For more than year President
Parry of the association has been in
cessantly at work urging the manu-
featuring interests. to get together
to combat the so-called menacing at
titude- of the trades unions. At in
tervals he has visited Chicago, New
York and other Industrial centers and
advocated before meetings of COM
mercial men the scheme of federation
that Inc has undertaken to push
through. -
That his endeavors have not been
fruitless is evidenced by the fact
that the employers of this city have
lately combined TO fight the labor or
ganizations and still more recently
the iron and steel manufacturers of
the country have combined for united
action against the demands of the
structural ironworkers' unions.
