 Wise business men carry special insurance to relieve their personal estate of this risk.

WARRANTS FOR BROKERS.
Spectacular Raid on Chicago Board of
 Trade Prevented,

Chicago, June 3.-Prompt action on the part of the directors of the Board of Trade and several members of Board of Trade firms forestalled the service of warrants today for alleged violations of the statutes.
 Charges of the pretending buying and selling of grain" which there was no in- tention of receiving or delivering, were brought against the individual directors, and similar charges were lodged against Louis R. Fyfe, L. H. Manson, Theron Logan, B. B. Bryan. Lorenz J. Lamson and s. Warren Lamson, Board of Trade operators. by two men who are said to have been victims of the recent raid upon the esta blishment of George T. Sullivan.
 Arrangements were quietly made. how ever, for the perfecting of bonds for all parties and a spectacular raid of the board and offices of the members which was to have been a part of the program was avoided.

 NEW YORK. June S.-Cotton opened 498 points higher todayl. Cables were quite sats- factory and this led to higher level of prices. There was nothing of special importance. in weather news. more or less rain fell in tho bolt and Texas had a full share outside of that State reports indicates a good deal of crop Improvement but on the whole the situation is mixed, some sections making no progress at all. Fears of inundation in the lower Ms. slppi Valley scare some shorts Altogether s people fear to sell as yet The bureau re- A ort tomorrow is expected to be in the neigh sArhood of 30 against 96. condition last year. The main point about the crop Is its lateness and this fact is not fully taken into consideration when calculating Oh It's possi- niiity It is contended that ideal weather will
 be necessary to n1ale a good crop and that un- der the best conditions cannot raise more than enough to meet requirements and may fall far below. The Liverpool situation from e statistical standpoint Is so verS strong that the bull party appears to be occupying a very strong position everywhere, especially as the crop is so late. Cables were 3 points higher for old and 2 for new crop moRthse lower.

 NEW YORK, June 3.-There really was nothing doing today. Everybody Is waiting for the bureau report tomorrow and as prices have been advanced In anticipation of low showing it will require a poorer report than fs looked for to bring about very much chaige The way the market acted today seems to in- dicate that short interest has been pretty well covered and with weather conditions highly satisfactory and the crop improving as shown in the last two weekly reports from Washington the tendency of prices is more likely to be towards a lower than towards a higher level It has been months since spot option sold below the next immediate future. We have now some l7o. 900 bales of cotton in New York and while the Philadelphia people have made arrangements to ship out a con siderable portion of the better grades there will be enough left to make trouble if deliv- cred. We cannot see anything in the cotton situation today to induce us to buy a bale, a hundred bales or a thousand bales.

 This a disappointing response to the ca- bles from the English the latter coming much better than had been expected. The private cables were to the effect that the English, con tingent feared a bullish monthly crop report and that shorts were covering on an extensive scale. The market met some selling on sthe better levels and consequently there was an easy tendency at times, but for the most part the trade was of rather meageF pfoportions
