a faithful and very effective party
worker for many years, and did
excellent service for the whole
ticket in the last campaign. 1t
would have been a difficult matter
for the Sheriff to have made a
more suitable or better deserved
appointment. His term of office
does not begun until April l, but
he is negotiating with the present
jailer, and if they can come to
terms he will move to Parkersburg
at once and fill out the uneXpired
term of Mr.. Buckley, the present
deputy and jailer. .

but aside from this the atmos-

and the variety Of weather today
was more like that of October
than December.

Recent County Court
Business Transacted

The following miscellaneous
business has been transacted IN
the County court in the past few
days:

influences as a result of the Liverpool
market did not make their pressure felt
in the cis-Atlantic exchanges. Cables
were without any encouraging features
and prices of options disclosed a sagging
tendency. The contradicted statement of
yesterday as to shortening of time by
spinners to 40 hours In August was re-
vived as an expectation which the small
sales of spots at a decline of IS points
rather confirmed.
The demand at our opening was sniff
cient to cause slightly higher prices which
moderately increased until short covering
became satisfied, after which the market
assumed its customary quiet aspect and
while lower prices were observed for a
brief period, closing quotations recorded
fair advance for the day.
The government weather chart publish
ed this morning did not fully sustain Its
customary reputation for perfection. The
Atlantic states where the heavier rains
would not have been unwelcome, received
only light showers on the coast, while an
abundance fell In the central belt and
something in excess of requirements in
the western section. The weekly reviews
of commercial agencies do not disclose
an improvement in general conditions
but are hopefully optimistic of the future,
where. the immediate situation in cotton
tory view obtains. Opinions as to values
of the staple are incomplete without con-
sideration of this situation.
Wheat-The sharp decline in Liverpool
and the fine weather brought about liberal
selling and a good sized break in the
futures Cudahy brokers and the south
west being the most prominent sellers,
while the bear element felt encouraged in
putting out short lines. larger receipts
and fine crop condition reports from all
around. The closing was steady. We feel
friendly to wheat and would favor pur-
chases on further declines, as the situa-
ton abroad may become more serious
than expected.
Corn-Trade was rather light selling ap-
pearing In July, but the deferred months
were bought the weather being regarded
too cool for growing.
Oats-There was easy opening In
sympathy with wheat, commission houses
selling, but offerings well taken. Prices
may be forced a little lower. hut we would
favor purchases of September and De-
cember
Provisions-Hogs were lower; shipments
of meat and lard were small compared
with last year, while the market was very
much dull; in. fact, the dullest of the
year. Shorts covered and this caused a
small rally. There Is no feature to- the
market
Stocks-With the exception of the activ-
ity and advance In the steel stocks the
market was featureless today the trans
actions extremely limited, but a decided
under current of strength was In evidence,
and this argues we'll for a better market
next week. The technical position of the
market is such that If no bad news comes
in we should have an active and higher
market next week. Bank statement SPLEEN

By III. & b. Beer
New Orleans, July 23-The close Of the
calendar week shows slight loss In value
Of spot cotton and our contracts when
compared with closing of this day one
week ago but new crop deliveries are a
shade higher than last Saturday. 1t was
more the bringing together differences Of
new and old crop values that sustained
values for far positions as crop accounts
are just as promising today as they were
one week ago and are probably more brill
liant than they were one month ago. The
growing season so far has been an excep-
tonally favorable one in many respects,
sunshine and rain alternating whenever
desired In all districts of the belt resulting
in all states showing a better average
than for the past ten years by few
points and as the acreage is about ten
per cent. larger than what was devoted
to cotton last year conditions as a whole
are about 20 per cent. better than last
season, which promises a crop of about
ten million bales. This we think will be
fully confirmed by the monthly bureau
condition report to be published on Au-
gust g. On the whole such conditions are
seldom known. In conjunction with the
present situation OF crop and trade out
look, stocks OF raw and finished cotton
materials will have been reduced to about
the lowest ebb maintained for years at
the end Of August little or nothing left
from the old crop, naked shelves in job
ping districts. The movement Of the new
crops however, gives every indication OF

the old crop and of I to points on
Xhe new crop months in response to Liver
pool cables lower than expected; further
talk of short time at Manchester, and the
Fall River situation, in connection with

But shorts showed disposition to cover
at the decline; there was some sign OF
support from recent bulls, and the market
following the call ruled moderately active
and firmer on covering with the old crop
neglected, and the new crop working
about to IL points net higher.
After the first wave of covering trading
became less active, and the market lost
part of the gain. but remained generally
