The trade had been looking for con- dition of around 30 per cent, and immcdi- ately following the reading of the report the excitement was intense.

 NEW YORK, June 4-The market did burst just what had been expected of 1t. Notwith- standing the report was very much worse than anyone expected, the advance that fol- lowed did not carry the price much higher than had been looked for on a condition of 90. The report indicated an average of 74.i. al- together too low to receive the enthusiastic support Of the cotton trade. It would have doGhkiess been more productive of results had 1t been 7s As 1t is we do not change our opinion on the cotton market. It is not a time to buy. We very much doubt whether there will be active speculation at this time. The more important interests in the market sold cotton by the tens of thousands of bales after the report was issued. This may have been long cotton and perhaps not. At any rate. selling was heavy. On the other hand. the re- port shows that we have got to have the finest kind of weather all through the Summer in order to prevent 8 and i4-cent cotton next year. For this reason and because we have rot to have an enormous crop it is hardly ad- visabie to talk about short selling: We would rather let market of 6 little or break if such is the case and then buy October cot ton once more for higher prices. At the mo- naent conditions are rather prejudicial to an advance in prices.

The general average condition was ~. per cent, against 95. 1 last year. or 2f points under last year. This IS the worst May condition report ever issued by the Government. but as an offset to this The document also states that the crop is from 10 to 20 days late throughout the en- tire belt. It is claimed by many that with a record acreage, even though the condition was unfavorabie up to May 26th the date upon which replies were forwarded to the bureau, that since that time there has been a con- siderable improvement in the crop outlook as was evidenced by the weekly weather report and confirmed by private advtces. On tho other hand, others believe ideal weather is requisite from now on to make a fair crop one be made; 1t Is contended. too that a crop of 2. 900 900 bales is necessary next season and that while present prices are considered high. that new levels will be established the coming year. Summing up the situation with the existing optimistic feeling, 1t looks as if purchases should be made on decided breaks only, with view of realizing on spurts.

made purchases good investment. and the company expressed it's willingness to buy and hold. It stored its purchases in tie tanks at the different terminals.
 The campaign woi ked well, and banned out very profitably for the tank company. They began buying in the forties, and kept 1t up until tho price got into the f1fties. when they stopped for the reason that exporters realized the value of spirits and began buying them selves. Shortly thereafter the tank company sold the entire of it's holdings at 53hc, the highest price of the season paid for turpen- tine for export When the compang again stepped into the market during the week ex- porters realized what i.. meant, and proceeded to buying themselves.
 Storing turpentne in tanks this season, 1t Is claimed, will have a stronger bullish effect upon the market than it did last year. The tank question IS bringing exporters and con- sumers generally to their senses. for the move ment Is spreading. Down in Florida the as- sociations are building tanks and declare that before they will sacrifice their turpentine on low market they will store and hold for higher prices The statistical position Is strong, and the movement is having a whole some effect. Moreover reports indicate that the crop will very probably be less than last year.

LICKED, NOT KILLED.
Drunken Half Breeds Thought They
Were Dead After Attacking
a White Man

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 21.-A report
sent out last week from Bonesteel
stating that John Raymond and a COM
panion, ~halfbreed Indians, were killed
and several others severely injured as
a result OF a fight between Indians and
8halfhreeds over a squaw during a cele-
bration on White river. 1t was further
stated that Raymond was shot and his
companion dubbed to death. and thai
a deputy United States marshal had
gone to the scene OF the trouble.
The facts are hat no one was killed
during the celebration referred to. Ray
mond and his companion, Buffalo Lone
Wolf. secured q quantity OF "lrewater''
and became intoxicated. They sailed
forth in search Of trouble and encoun-
tered Willie Young. whose home is on
the Pine Ridge reservation. Although
h two ~halfbreeds. under the invigor-
ating influence of the liquor, felt as If
they could flick their weight in wild
cats" they did not make much head
way with Young, who gave them more
trouble than they were looking for.
After Young got through with them
the Indian police took a hand and ran
them In for repairs, and their faces are
now adorned with sundry pieces Of
courtplaster. Young .thrashed the two
DULLES in such a scientific fashion that
the Indian police did not modest him.
Out Of the incident grew the report
that two %halfbreed Indians had been
