FOUL PLAY THEORY
 GIVEN CREDENCE
Further Examination of the Body of F Kent Loomis Adds to
 the Suspicious.

London, July H.-Reports to both the press association and the Central News assert that further examination of the body of F. Kent Loomis. which was found yesterday at Warren Point, some fifteen miles from Plymouth, has given rise to grave suspicious on the part of the local officials that MT. Loomis met with foul play The wound behind the right ear is described as being circular, large and clean, and it lis thought that it was in- flicted before death. It is surmised that MT. Loomis' body fell into the water near Eddystone lighthouse.
 Joseph G. Stephens. American consu, at Plymouth, in response to telegram sent by the Associated Press tonight asking him if the local reports of foul play had any basis, or if he had any ground for suspicion regarding the death of MT. Loomis, replied:
 T regret I cannot make any statements prior to the inquest. which will be held tomorrow. The wound on the back of the right ear is the size of a half dollar The body is fairly well preserved, and espec- tally about the top of the head, consider ing the time it has been in the water"

FLUCTUATIONS IN COTTON.
Action of Market in Manchester Dur
 ing Week Were Disconcerting.

Manchester, July H.--Though there were daily fluctuations in the price of cotton on the cloth market during the past week, they were somewhat disconcerting. The market, however, showed a fair turn over in some sections. chiefly for future delivery, the advance in the price of old cotton having increased the difficulty of sales before September.
 The China trade showed an improve ment and there was an increased demand for goods for November and February shipments, the makers of standard quail ties getting well engaged flor these months. There was a moderate inquiry for better qualities than those which ob- tained during the period of high priced cotton, but buyers were cautious, as the contracts which were concluded at the time must be worked off. There were small transaction from the Levant and the continent for early delivery. The healthy inquiry for printing cloths was chacked by the advance in price, Not withstanding fair inquiry there was a limited turnover in yarns, the higher price of cotton stifling negotiations.
