Loveman 3 Co.'s Market Letter.

by II. & b. Deer.
 More favorable crop weather in belt in- fiuenced values to a lower level today as did free receipts of new cotton. Liverpool offered every encouragement possible by advancing spots IF points to 6.0Sd for mid- ding. Sales 5000 and at one time during the session quoted futures about six points higher than last nights closing, but selling orders from America closed the English market unchanged to two better than yesterday. Nothing in the way of complaints was heard from the interior today. districts outside of Texas reporting dry weather as having a favor able effect on the plant which, up to few days ago was suffering from too much rain. Texas being the pivotal state, it being almost impossible to make 0 full crop without good yield in Texas. much interest is centered as to what the fn- ture will bring in the way of favorable or unfavorable developments of crop in that state. Reports from that quarter are becoming conflicting. some reporting crop much better than last year, some not as good The central and northern portions of Texas give out the best reports and as it Is the most productive section, a full crop is expected, though boil worms are doing considerable damage in all sec tions of the state and the weeyils are said to be increasing and becoming destruc- tive south of Waco.

New Orleans, August 17.--Spot cotton quiet. The offerings were much freer, but the demand was limited; sales, 750 bales, including 150 to arrive. Prices advanced Mc.
 Futures opened steady, with prices 1 to 3 points lower.
 Around the opening shorts became some what nervous over the report that Sully was active in the market again, and was coming out with an extremely bullish circular. This caused some covering and gave the market a steady tone for a short time, but news was constantly re- ceiyed of new bales In sections that gen. erally are and of much better crop condi- tions. This bearish news had it's effect on prices, and later In the morning the undertone of the market was unmistak- ably weak, with prices to 3 points lower than the close of yesterday. The market closed steady, August showing net gain of 4 points, September lost 10 and the other positions points each.

DEATH RELEASES
GIRLS BETRAYER

SEATTLE, July 20.-George Joye,
who was shot four times by Mrs.
Gertrude Robb for betraying her t.
year-old daughter, died last night al
Providence hospital as a result of the
wounds inflicted by the woman. Mrs
Robb will now probably be charged
with murder and taken into custody
by the officers.
The shooting occurred June 2 at
the Coleman dock. Joye was en-
plOyed on the steamer Telegraph as
a porter, and as he came ashore on
the afternoon of that day Mrs. Robb
met him and began shooting. Five
shots were fired, four of which en-
tered Joye's body, one penetrating
the spine and in1icting a mortal
wound. Mrs. Robb, after emptying
her revolver, gave herself up to an
officer and explained that she had
shot Joye because he betrayed her
daughter, Camelia Colman. Joye ad-
mitted his guilt.

ELECTRIC POWER
TO UNLOAD GRAVEL

The firm of Savage, Scofeld & Co.
has commenced the construction of
gravel bunkers on the waterfront,
just south of the City dock, which
will be the largest and most COM
plete bunkers for the handling OF
gravel on the Sound The structure
is to be 100 feet long, 30 feet wide
and 20 feet high. From the top of
the bunkers an inclined track will
be built to the water upon which
small cars are to be operated by
means of an electric hoist, for I'M
loading gravel from scows. Here
tofore gravel brought to this city
on scOws has been unlOaded by hand
and thrown upon the wharf where it
was necessary to again shovel it into
wagons. When these bunkers are
completed the gravel will be carried
from the scow to the top of the
bunkers, and there distributed in
pockets or chutes. These chutes are
to be so constructed that wagons can
be run under them and quickly load
ed. This will greatly facilitate the
handling of the enormous quantities
of gravel brought here from Stella
COON and other points on the Sound.
The bunkers will be completed about
August l.
