day was a day of unusual excitement,

pandemonium apparently broke loose.
Advances in Liverpool and New York
had already been posted on the boards,

showed an advance Of 18 to Al points.
The fluctuations during the session
were frequent and at times very wide
but prices were always well above the
closing figures of Saturday, with an
upward trend predominating, the days
trading resulting in net gains OF 80 to
81 points. The market closed very
firm. Although the range OF prices ap

The speculation in the cotton market
carried May and July cotton options
above II cents a pound on the New

in twenty-nine years.
Cotton has not passed II cents per
pound in New York since 1875, when it

bales in the previous season, turned
out only 2,s74,OOO. The high price Of
war times, when the south was block
AIDED, was s1.90 per pound, in 1864.
The rise on Mondays market was
scored in spite Of heavier receipts and
the failure of southern stopt markets

MRS, LORENZ SHED TEARS
"A "Briny" Incident During Trial OF
Alleged Postofsice Grafters in
Washington Court.

The defense in the postal trial at
Washington opened Thursday. Mr.
Maddox, on behalf Of the Groffs, said
he would prove that George E. Lorenz
in 1895 had purchased for $500 one
half interest in the Croft fastener.
He was followed by Mr.. Kumler for
the Lorenzs, who asserted that as far
back as 1888 Machen, George E. Lo-
REM and his brother engaged in the
oil business in Ohio, and that as re-
suit Of their various transactions Geo.
E. Lorenz owed Machen $4,000, and
that whatever money Lorenz paid to
Machen was in settlement of an honest
debt.
Conrad Syme, on behalf OF Machen,
agreed with what Mr.. Maddox and Mr..
Kumler said, and added that he would
prove there was no conspiracy when
Mr.. Kumler, in the course OF his open
ing remarks, said that Mrs. Lorenz
had been scandalized by the govern:
ment. which had treated her with
cruelty, Mrs. Lorenz broke down and
wept bitterly. She was led from the
room by Mrs. Machen and Mrs. Phil
lips. Mr.. Machen's sister,, She recoy
cred her composure during the recess
and occupied her accustomed place in
court.
The first witness for the defense
was Miss Ina S. Liebhart, chief clerk
of the special free delivery division,
and Machen's former stenographer.
She described Machen's various duties,
which she said made it physically i'm
possible for him to personally attend
to everything. She said that from
July, 1901, she personally initiated all
the mail with Machen's initials and
prior to that date she placed his ini-
tials probably on one-half Of the mail.
She said she herself determined the
question Of what papers she should or
should not initial. She declared that
the Croft fastener was never the sub
ject Of any conversation between her.
self and Machen. In writing Machen's
initials she said there was no secrecy
about it, that First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Wynne knew as well as his
chief clerk, Mr.. Hawley. A recess was
taken at this point.
Continuing her testimony when the
trial was resumed, Miss Liebhardt said
that a great deal of Machen's time was
taken up in interviewing congressman
and postmasters regarding the exten-
sion Of the rural free delivery. Asked
specifically about Croft fasteners, Miss
Liebhardt said that special orders
were not brought to Machen's atten-
ton because the fastener was "a fixed
supply" In cases involving new ar
ticle, however, she said she would
speak to the superintendent about It.
It was brought out that the order Civ
en- the Groffs for fasteners at the re-
duced price Of s1.25 each. was dated
July Is, 1899, and was signed by Ma
chen himself.
The witness had not concluded when
court adjourned until Friday.
