 NEW YORK, March 2s.-cotton futures in the local market today opened quietly with l first prices at . decline of . to i4 points. The rear options displayed relative weakness for time in consequence of scattered liquidation. However, there was fair line of support on the lower levels: There were reports of an improved demand for spot cotton In the South, and rumors were current that the final report of the bureau, to be given out next Friday, will confirm the small crop estimates given out from time to time during the season. These runors helped the bull Interests. but bears were quite persistent in some instances and they made their presence felt on several oc- cns'ons. The general operations only of moderate proportions. and the pit interests did the bulk of the business. Outside inter ests through commission houses did a moder ate business both ways, but in this connec- ton there was little if any aggresiveness. The toreiGn advices generally met expectations, and the foreign orders were only limited since the foreign spnners were credited with being inclined to await the final crop figures before doing very much in either direction. Later in the day there was fair line of buying on the reacton theory and while the trade continued rather quiet, there was fair i'm provement.

This last we do not expect. but it is a contingency that must be kept in mind all the time. As far the market goes, should say that when New York is the cheapest, as H is now and Liverpool is much above New York and spot markets above us. that there Is every reason to expect an improvement This is not likely to develop into big advance at once. Every fs going very slow. these days. few hundred bales looks big now Things getting back to more normal conditions and we are glad of the change.

BATTLE WITH SHOWMEN
Mob Attacks Pan-American Circus
Mcn--TWo Are Shot--show Is
Coming to Cairo.

In battle at Pinkneyville Wed
nesday night between the attaches
OF the Pan-American Show company
and a mob, Carl Lemen. famous as
one of the Lemen Bros, who owns an
interest in the show, was shot through
the body, the ball entering below the
right nipple and Pete Holton Of Pinck.
NEVILLE was shot in the right arm
the ball glancing into his breast Hol
ton is not seriously hurt. Lemen Is
In serious condition, but though by
no means hopeless.
All reports seem to agree that the
attack was made by the mob and
that the showmen were not to blame.
Their side of the story Is that a
crowd of fellows who were drunk APP
piled for admission to the show and
were not allowed to enter on account
OF their condition. They then raised
a disturbance on the grounds and the
shoTmen had them sent away by the
police. After the performance the
effects of the show company were be-
ing loaded onto train preparatory to
moving to Metropolis, the next stand.
While this work was in progress
the crowd came back and made an at
tack on the showmen, throwing rocks
at them. This was not resented at
first, but was kept up and soon both
sides became engaged in a fight A
brother of Lemen was surrounded by
several of the mob and was getting
the worst of it when he attempted TO
interfere and was shot About this
time the shot was fired which wound.
cd Holton. The police arrived then
and dispersed the crowd, but in ad.
lition to the above injured several
received minor cuts and bruises in
the encounter
1t was reported Thursday that the
shot that wounded Holton was fred
by Dick Tanner, member of the
show company who is known as the
original Diamond Dick and does a
stunt with the show
He is nephew of Lemen and came
20 Murphysburo Wednesday right with
hise uncle Mr. Lemen was placed
IN St Andrews hospital where DR..
Essick dressed his wound. He was
resting nicely Thursday.
Mr. Tanner states that he was en-.
gagged in conversation with owo of
he PinckneyviIle police when the
occurred and that he can
prove by them that he had no part in
he fight.
Tanner is a typical wild westeTner
In appearance. He has national re.
as crack shot woth both
rifle and revolver AMI has travelled
with some of the best known shows
N the country He has a trunk full |
