COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE cotton market
opened weak at g decline OF 3fllS points with
the old crop months showing the greatest los cs
under liquidation and bear pressure following
tinued favorable weather. The new crop
months continued to show relative steadlness
during the entire session, being sustained by
the covering OF a large short interest and buy
Ing by spot houses and spinnets In spite ~
tho persistent selling BY Wire houses with
Southern connection, said to represent the
operations OF planters hedging their prosnectipe
crops as a result OF the recent improved grow
Ing conditions. This demand. however, was
not sufficient toIr vent declines in the race
or the weakness of July and August and OF
the Indications for continued favorable weather,
and In the early afternoon the whole list ruled
very weak with July. breaking through u t ~
lie. mark to 10 90, while August sold at 1000.
October at 9.55 and December at 9.4s, these
being at lossea OF Sl13G points on the old crop
and Of l0Il2 points on tho new crop positions,
I Later the market was a little steadier on
New Orleans but was nnally.at just about
i;ln lowest level Of the session, steady ~
old and decline Of l5Gr points on tho new
crop months. The old crop positions showed
great sensltiyeness during the entire session
on comparatively light orders. In q general
way the selling seemed to come from New
Orleans and the South. while tho Wall Street
interest were the buyers.

There was considerable speculative ace

part TO d rumor that d decision IN favor
OF the Union Pacific party was TO be
handed down In the Northern Securities
cage, unfolding Its contention for the re-
turn Of the Northern Pacific stocks as
originally deposited. There Was more or
less divergence In the course OF the two

OF REFRESHING operations IN the general

were also q depressing influence. South-

EMPLOYERS CAN TAKE
PICK OF APPLICANTS

Beginning next Monday a new sys-
tenn will be used by the city free
employment bureau. Under this sys-
TEN the applicants for help and the
applicants for jobs will be given an
opportunity to meet each other at
the Office of the bureau. This sys-
tenn has been successfully tried in the
large cities, and it ought to prove
satisfactory in Tacoma, as the en-
ployer can see the applicants before
he hires him.
The bureau has been somewhat
troubled with "drones, who like to
get job to draw wages, but not
work. Manager Collier will make an
attempt to clear the unworthy ones
out of the line.
Each day large number of per-
sons are given employment, and since
a telephone has been installed at
the Office orders are received and
filled with greater facility. The teIe-
phone number is Main 697.

Miss Tout was discovered by an
Englishman, who was attracted by
her singing Mormon hymns at an
outdoor meeting held by elders in
Regents park, London. This man
made himself acquainted with her
father and subsequently begged to
be allowed TO place her in the royal
college of music, where her voice
could be trained. Here she was ia
ken up by Alberta Visetti, who be
came enthusiastic over her voice and
secured for her engagements. She
is now singing in concerts with the
leading London artists, although not
quite 20 years of age.
Her sister, Miss Grace Tout, and
her father, Edwin F. Tout, are now
also studying with Visetti in Lon
don. Miss Grace has splendid con-
tralto voice. while Tout has a rich
tenor.
The little Mormon girl writes to
her friends here, with whom she
seems to be in no wise spoiled by
her great success.
