manipulate the local exchange. The man.

Short Crop Reports Causes
Furry in the Market.
Jump Of About S. a Bale
During Days Business.
Market Steadies Toward CIose---TotaI 0p.
eratons About One Million Bales.

New York, July 3.-The cotton mar
ket became badly excited Immediately
after the publication of the government
crop, today. showing the condition of
cotton to be - per cent. or lower than
the small crop in the year 1905. The
report was Il great deal worse than ha Il
been expected ard caused a stampede
Oh genera! buying, the price jumping
W one cent per pound within 10 min
utcS after the publication of the re-
port. This was the equivalent of S. a
bale. The weekly crop reports had been
favorable and the trade expected to-
days monthly report to show an i'm
prOvenlcnt of so per cent. at least.
Excited scenes were witnessed in the
trading pit when the unfavorabie re-
port was read. For the first hour there
after, prices advanced at times 10
points between trades, or tiuctuated
wildly when the top price had been
reached. Not until the shorts had COW
cred their contracts and the majority
Of the trading interests had protected
themselves on the REIMBURSEMENT of the
crop situation did the market subside.
December and January advanced 20
POINTS ut a time, more than 100 points
in all, December selling at 1860 and
January at 1865.
Thousands OF bales were thrown over
by bulls who took profits at the pre-
vailing high prices and this selling
strengthened the market together with
the belief that the advance had dis
counted the existing conditions. Later in
the afternoon prices again advanced
nearly to the top for the day.
Before the government crop report
was issued the market had been weak
ana unsettled with occasional selling
off to 94H against $50 at the close of
Saturday. Within 10 minutes after the
report WAS issued that months option
advanced to 1850 or more than s.
bale above the low point of the morn
ing. Other positions We're equally active
and excited and for sometime after the
report was read the market showed
greater activity than at any time since
the collapse of the bull campaign of
1909 After reaching 1850 for October
there was heavy profit taking and
prices within half an hour after the APP
pearance of the report had lost about
81 points from the best.
The market quieted down a little in
the later session, but without showing
acute excitement continued very ner-
vOus and firm. After breaking to 1015
for October that position rallied to 1856,
or exactly one cent a pound above the
closing price of last Saturday, there
was heavy buying through commission
houses and this market at the close
was within three or four points of the
top. an advance of 81 to 101 points, or
about 81 to S. a bale. Sales were esti-
mated at fully 100000 bales.

For Separation Of Church
and State in France.
French Chamber Of Deputies
Votes Yes, 34I to 233.
Sweeps Away System Of 1901 Made BY
Plus VII and Napoleon |.

Paris. July 3.-The bill for the
separation Of church and state
passed the Chamber Of Deputies. late
tonight, by the decisive vote Of BAL 10
z33 The result was greeted by govern
mental cheering and opposition Mss
and there was intense excitement
When the result was officially given
out after midnight there was renewed
claInOr participated in by those in IN"
crowded galleries and Hobbies as we'll
~ by those on the floor or the Cham
Der. This most important legislation al
f~cting the long established social and
religious conditions of France becomes
an accomplished fact so far as the
chamber of Deputies IS concerned.
1t has occupied tn entire time OF the
lower house, almost, since March y.
The opponents of the measure utilized
every means to prevent the bill becOm-
ing a law before the approaching gen
eral election, moving no fewer than -
amendments which wcre rejected. The
discussion of one of these amendments
sometimes occupied Il Whole sitting.
The system swept away by this Dill
dates from 1901 when the famous Con-
CUrdat was signed by rope rus ' II anu
Napoleon. This gave religious govern
mental STATUS the churches being gov
eminent property with the clergy paid
by the state and the entire church ad-
ministration being under the direction
of a member of the President Cabinet
The new system abolishes all laws and
regulations under the concordat and
terminates the authority of the Con-
CoGdat itself.
The general principal Of the measure
as finally adopted by the Chamber of
Deputies is as follows:
The republic assures liberty OF con-
science and guarantees the free exc
cis,. Of religion. subject to the restric-
tions Of public order The republic
neither recognizes. pays stipeHds t.,
nor subsidies any sect. but provides
funds for college ana hospital chap

Outwardly the center of the city of
Odessa is beginning to resume it's nor
NAL aspect. although comparatively
few people are seen in the streets. But
III the harbor district all is ruin and
devastation. Shipping and trade are en-
tirely at standstill and thousands of
dock laborers are waiting around idle.
The city continues under strict mar
tai law. Soldiers everywhere cut off all
the sea front portion of the city and
use scant ceremony in stopping persons
not provided with proper permits to en-

sonse out in the streets later run con-
siderable risk from irresponsible SOL

buildings and the principal offices are
suarded by troops day and night. The
social life of the city is entirely dead.
The principal hotels on the boulevard
ing all departed.
In the harbor lie the hulks Of a dozen
large and small ships burned. in some
instances, to the waters edge. The
large warehouses We're burned out en-
urely and there is scarcely a house or
other building in the neighborhood that

EISH In THE cATAWBA.

There are thousands Of fish In the
big pond of the Catawba Power COM
pany, and the indications are that they
are increasing in numbers and size
at a ratio that is almost Incompetent
sible.
The fish include all kinds, all spe-
cies common to the waters OF this Sec
tion, and especially carp, which are
found in both the scale and leather
side varieties in immense quantities.
Mr.. Charlie Blalock, game warden
for the Catawba gun club reports that
he went over on the island above the
dam q few days ago, expecting to catch
a large cooter or so In the lake there
and while investigating about threw
in a dip net, which he pulled out full
of small carp two or three inches In
length. He discovered that the lake
was literally full Of these fish and that
1t would not be unreasonable to esti-
mate their number as running up Into
the millions.
Mr.. w. H. Wylie states that few
days ago he telephoned to Mr.. Bla-
lock requesting that the fish traps be
baited and that night he took twelve
carp measuring from 6 to Inches and
that next morning he got twenty-one
Of the same size.
There Is a fisherman on the McCaw-
Bratton place at the mouth Of Allison
creek, who gets from SO to $5 worth
of carp from his baskets every day.
The understanding is that the entire
lake above the dam Is literally teaming
with fish. of all kinds, especially carp.
and that II Is an easy matter for a
fisherman to get as many as he wants
within a few hours by merely batting
convenient spot and throwing In a
basket.
