The county commissioners will contest
the constitutionality OF the law requiring
them to give bonds. That's a matter for
the courts. The reasonableness of the re-
quirement is not a legal proposition. A
public board who have the expenditure of
nearly half a million dollars of public
money annually ought to give bond.
That's matter upon which the taxpayers
opinion is just as good as that Of the court.

Virgin & Faunce's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. July 2.-The local market for cotton futures opened steady in tone at a de- cline of points to an advance of a similar amount. For time the market was steady though the local contingent was disposed to sell on the fine weather in the belt. and the rather disappointing cables There was an ah- sence of new business In view of the approach ing holidays and the close proximity of the monthly report of the Government. The char acter of this report is much in doubt at the present time, and while some interests figure that there has been some improvement during the month others say that there has been fur ther deterioration. There was an effort to sell out big line of August cotton. and such op- erations resulted in good decline In that op- tion. New Orleans interests bought a good deal of August cotton on the lower prices. This buying was quite readily supplied. The late market was rather slow. but wthal. there was fairly good support on the lower levels. There was a moderate movement of cotton, The estimates with regard to the weekly sta tistics were without appreciable change. There some evidence fin the South of buying of cotton for consumption and this, tt was pointed out, a good indication that mills were getting in line to operate freely. At the close there were few expressions, most of the leading lights being inclined to hold off for the Gov ernment report. which Is due tomorrow.

Spots 10 points lower. Early cables read market feels influence of tenders still circulating holders are free sellers at concessions. We think demand for consumption will possibly in- crease slightly" The opening of local market was practically at unchanged prices on the near months with the late options advanced 3 GA points. The official weather map offered nothing very encouraging in the way of wealth. CT conditions to the would-be sellers of late months. promising very unsettled weather to rule. Sentiment continues to be very much mixed. but Is believed that the recent decline has discounted any favorable conditions that tonnorrow's Government bureau report might reveal. The conditions of the crop has so far run SD extremely below the normal this sea- son that any material change must naturally be for the better and some localities will un- doubtedly show Improvement Whatever the crop may be, if 1t is under 1 900 900 bales seems probable now, there will be more American cotton wanted than can be supplied and the planters will realize a substantial price for their products. Late cables claim that all notices issued in Liverpool today were promptly taken care of.

By Private Wire From c. w Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, July 2.-The advance in De- cember today was due entirely to short cover ing before bureau report tomorrow. There is a great indisposition on the part of the market to take any risk at this season of the year and under the manipulatve character of the dealings in the other crop months At 10 cents per pound for the Fall positions short selling probably has been a feature and as the crop has not advanced rapidly for the entire month as many had hoped and for this reason the Government may not advance the figures above v or 7e, shorts were inclined to get under cover and wait developments This buying came from all directions and brought about an advance of 10 points. It was not expected owing to the break in Liverpool August broke sharply about 20 points and this was not an encouraging factor. Later in the day, however. uncertainty over the report be- came such that the few buying orders soon started more active demand from comrnis-- sion houses and prices advanced rather sharply, However disappointing the report tomorrow may be and however unfavorable in actual figures 1t may compare with last years show ing, 1t must be conceded that the crop is now making rapid strides. In every respect the situation is the opposite of that existing six weeks ago. Then nothing could have been worse than were the conditions Now weather Is such as to suit the most exacting. The plant Is strong and sturdy owing to the abund- ant rainfall and differs decidedly from the condition last year. We cannot advise pur- chase of December and January at the mo- ment.

 Futures at the opening were quiet and steady. The bearish influences were heavier declines in Liverpool than expected and a more favorable weather map. In spite of these bearish influences those on the inside gave their following the advice that 1t was time to buy The wisdom of this advice was seen when a large interest composed of scalpers and room traders who were short became afraid of the bureau report and hastily covered This sent the market up for moderately substantial gains on the Winter months. which at the close showed net gains of 6G7 points from October to January, inclusive.
