source proved sufficient to cause a strong
rally and later on the market became more
encouraging to outsiders. The Southwest
was good seller early in the day and
tnis cotton at times appeared to fill the de-
mand OF the shorts. However. as the day
wore on there was some strong buying and
the general market worked up. The wall
street interests bought on a moderate scale
and certain houses associated with foreign
ports were unusually favorable and in con-
sequence of the good line of crop advices
there were many intending purchasers who
were disposed to hold off for the moment

the account Of outsiders Scalpers, how

were in and out during the day made good

irregular with the pit interest doing the

O. E. PIERCE co.'s COTTON LETTER

tBy Private Wire from Gibert Il Clay.D
NEW ORLEANS. June 2e.--Liverpool took
the weekly crop report in really serious
way, as evidenced by the marked decline
in all departments. but cables were in
clined to lay the blame selling orders
from America. The records showed tenders
OF 1850 bales in the English market and
1t is probable that prices were affected to
a considerable extent by this fact The oc-
currence of beneficial rains in central and
eastern sections OF the belt helped to slim
ulate bearish sentiment here and fur
ther depreciation in values was established
More unanimity of opinion on one side
however, sufficed to maintain a steady tone
at the decline. as the temptation to take
profits on short contracts created an ade-
quate demand As to the general situa-
ton all traders seem to be convinced that
the July bureau report will show a decided
Improvement over the figure of condition
last month and that a more or less serious
decline In prices will ensue. and the hope
of bulls in the meantime seems to depend
on extended ravages OF the boil weevil or
complaints regarding excessive rainfall
which will be determined by future develop
ments.

Fearful Purpose.
Captain Thompson's Rescue of Month
Old Child from Alley Where 1t
Had Been Thrown to

A deed, horrible in the thought for
if involved the sacrifice of a month
old child's life, was barely averted last
night.
1t was after ten o'clock when Cap
tain Thompson, of the city police, dis"
covered in Wicks Alley, off Person
street. between Davie and Cabarrus, a
month old negro infant boy clad
only in slip, barely alive.
A call for aid had been brought to
the police station by Alice Worth, q
negro woman, who said that her
daughter, Metitia Worth, had secretec
or thrown away her month old infant
and refused to tell what she had done
or where she had placed the child.
Captain Thompson went with the
woman. He found that Metitia Wa.
deaf and dumb, a girl of about 2G
years of age, ginger cake colored. She
at first refused to tell what she haG
done. Finally she told where thu
child had been placed.
Captain Thompson went with her,
and the child was found barely alive
numbed by the cold and exposure. II
was off in the alley, and when it Wa1
brought with it's mother to the sta
ton house a clump of grass was found
in the little fellows clenched hand.
The unnatural mother cared for him
at the station house and he revived.
Officer Warren used the finger Ian
guage" and talked with the woman.
She said she did not know why sho
had thrown the child away and die
not know that she would have killed
it. She refuses to tell the name of
the father. The case will be tried this
mornng under the charge Of an at
tempt at infanticile.
