COSTLY HOG CASE.

Cordele Daily News: One razor
back pig, value, 50 cents. Cost in courts,
attorneys, time, etc, about $3.50. Those
are the principal items in a case that
will be decided by Judge Henderson
of the City Court of Vienna on Satur-
day, next. The meat of the story is
that the city of Cordele is in possess
sion of one small pig that is the prop
erty of D. A. r. Crum, senatorial
nominee from this district, taken up
on the streets and impounded some
days ago, and Col. Crum brings suit
in trover for its recovery through Crum
& Jones. The city is represented by
City Attorney Stroller. Col. Crum does
not bring suit because of the intrinsic
value of the pig, but for the purpose
of testing the right of the city to inn
pound hogs that stroll in from the
country and hold them for fee of so
cents each.

WARE & LELAND
Say shorts Have Too Much Company
for More Selling.


for More Selling.
New York, Aug. 1S.-There was more
resistance to the market to-day, and
prices worked higher here. The reap
pearance of rains in the South was a
disturbing factor 1t looked yesterday
as though the map would be clear, but
it shows that the rain falls too easily
even for the weather experts. Liver
pool was higher and cotton seemed to
be wanted by shorts. This put Janu-
airy as high as 9.75c at one time, and
there was no weakness at any time
After the rise some early bought cot
ton came on the market, and this car
ried the level back 4D5 points The
big grain speculation and the fact that
large profits have been made in grain
of late prevented short selling from
many sources. AS there is now an ex-
tensive short interest should shorts try
to cover even moderately, there would
be an advance. as there is very little
pressure in evidence. Some prospect
of this caused traders to pick up cot
ton early in the day and the fear of
a rise prevented short selling Crop
news is very good, but too much rain
would start buying again on bad re-
ports. The South is anxious to buy
around 91ac. There is too much COM
pany on the short side to give us
much courage in selling short now.

DEMERE & HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

York.
New York, Aug. 1S-On the last rise
as we'll as on the reaction, which fol-
lowed it, there was heavy selling for
short accounts by the outside public.
and the short interest, which had been
previously reduced considerably, was
again largely expanded. The market
is thus in no position to stand any
adverse crop accounts, or even view
without anxiety anything which might
retard the already delayed movement.
Strong operators stand ready to take
advantage of any development which
may embarrass the shorts to rush up
prices, even if only for purpose of put
ting out new short lines for their own
accounts at a higher level. Gables from
Liverpool express the belief that spin
ners will continue to take cotton at
present prices, and little decline. IL
any. is expected within the next few
weeks. II this is the temper of the
consuming market, II seems strange
that producers should be so anxious
to depreciate the value of their own
commodity. Tomorrow afternoon the
Chronicle weather report cannot fail
to be unfavorable: Duns and Brad
streets Agencies will both make their
usual weekly reports. which will prob
AMY be or the same tenor; the visible
supply statement for the week will be
bullish to the extent OF showing much
larger takings by spinners this year
ihan last year. All the influences, tenn
porary though they be. are not of a
nature to depress the market, and they
tend to create anxiety over the pos
sibilities Of the next bureau report.
From Texas come accounts Of extern
sive damage by boil weevils. and boil
worms and estimates OF the crop in
that state have been greatly reduced.
Idle though such estimates are al this
early date. they at least have the eff
! feet of convincing the outside world
that the outlook is by no means as
rosy as II was "A month ago. when
estimates were put out ranging from

Daily Cotton Letter from New

New York. Aug. 1S.-The kind Of
showers indicated by this mornings
map and forecasted for to-day and to-
morrow viii hardly do the crop any
harm, but what is of some account
just now when the end season search
ty is at its hight, they will probably
delay the movement. This idea APP
peared to check the selling movement
inaugurated on the appearance of
clear weather yesterday and the mar
ket, encouraged by the frmness of
the Liverpool market, opened 4 to Z
points higher.
Advices from the Southwest this
morning indicated that gins are rapid
ly going on full time and with good
weather it seems very probable that
the movement which hitherto has been
below bearish expectations will show
a decided increase. The general opin-
ion is that the market would be unable
to withstand the combined influence
of an increased movement, and good
weather. We are likely to have both
before long, but for the immediate flu
ture at any rate, it is nothing better
than a scalping market We don't
feel bearish enough to advise sales for
a long pull at this time, but would
rather go cautiously and await devel-

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
REPORTS OF RAIN
SENT FUTURES UP.

New York. Aug. 1S.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
to points in response to better ca
bles than expected and scattering
showers in the belt which were
thought likely to delay the movement
rather than TO exert any material ad-
verse influence on the growing crop.
The South continued selling in a quiet
way and with no general demand in
evidence. the market following the
call slipped back few points. but
quickly rallied on bull support from
local sources and by midday had sold
up to a net gain of about i2a14 points.

ceipts at Galveston seemed 10 encour-
age the bears somewhat and i'm the

From the New York Press.

The labor strikes of to-day are puny
affairs. Solomon, the biggest employer
of labor the world ever knew, never
had a strike or lockout. In building
the temple he hired of the descendants
of the Canaanites 10000 men to bear
burdens and $4,000 to hew timber and
stone in Lebanon. under $500 over
seers. He also raised a levy of 10000
Israelites, whom he sent to work IN
Lebanon by relays of 10000 each relay
serving one month and returning home
for two. Here is an army of lS3.6O0
men working steadily for seven and a
half years without the slightest fric-
ton. Possibly some wisdom was need
ed for their management. Here Is Il
lesson for John b. Mcdonald ana the
Western employing butchers.
