State Epworth League Meets In the Capital City Today With Prospects of a Good Attendance-New
 Interpretations.

Montgomery, June 0.-(Speeial)-The crop season has advanced far enough to get some idea of the outlook, which Is, with a few sections excepted, very flat tering. Cotton Is looking well, save in some of the southwestern counties, where there has been no rain to speak of, espec- ially in Dale county. where the fall has only been 61 of an inch since April Corn Is doing we'll and the outlook is for as large yield as last year.
 The area in cotton last year in Ala bama was 8, .66o acres, and this year S,5O0,ooo in round figures, the increase being about 6 per cent. The ginners' re- port of last years crop gives it at just about a million bales, making the es- timated output on an. increased acreage of 6 per cent, 1,1o00o0 bales. about If the price stays above 10 cents there will be great deal of money next year as there has been this.
 It is estimated that over half a million tons of fertilizer has been used this spring on the crops of the state. The agricultural department has record of 250,O0O tons of commercial grades and it is said as much more of barnyard and cotton seed meal is not too high an esti- mate An average price for this com mercial fertilizer Is s16 per ton, making it cost the farmers $4000,000. If the bal ance should be classed to cost half that much 1t Is seen that the farmers of Ala bama have used this year S6000,0O0 worth of fertilizers. Figuring at 10 cents for cotton the crop will be worth $55,OOo0o0, or s27. DO from the crop for each inhabi- tant of the state

Action Begun in the United States Cir

Adjutant Gen. Sherman NJ. Bell, while

suit in the United States Circuit court.
Gen. Bell said:
Richardson, who has brought suit in

fully intended turning Mr.. Meyer over
to the civil authorities or turning him
loose before this. This action was to
have been taken, last Tuesday, but
the Cripple Creek trouble has occupied
our time so much that we had to let
San Miguel county go temporarily.

the civil authorities and had not the
Independence catastrophe occurred 10

have been released from our custody

seemed to be anxious not to have Mr..
Meyer turned over to the civil au-

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. June 16.-Speculativc senti-
ment continued much unsettled, today, by
the proposed preferred stock issue by
Southern Pacific. The feverish tone of
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in the
early dealings kept traders out of the
general market and those two stocks al
most monopoliZed the trading. When they
settled down to about last nights level
the rest of the market took on q better
tone and was inclined to advance slowly
on light transactions.
Opinions were greatly mixed over the
relative benefits of Union Pacific and
issue Union Pacific was somewhat err
ratio in the early dealings in accordance
with these uncertainties regarding bene-
fits to accrue The stock sold Is under
last night at one time. There was less
contrariety of opinion over the effect of
the plan upon Southern Pacific and trad
ers were inclined to sell that stock The
buying was attributed to supporting
in checking the decline and inducing
some covering in the stock.
Southern Pacific preferred when issued
sold on the curb. at III and the rights to
subscribe at par at 81 to ~. There was
very little in the general market. The adj

ecution of large single order and was
not explained. The reduction in the div
idend rate of Lake Erie & Western pre-
ferred and the poor showing of quarterly
and semi-annual net earnings by the Van
derbilt railroads were not stimulating
factors. but the market ignored them
