Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

sensational advance was experienced in all markets today as result of the issuing of preliminary reports in advance of the census ginners report on amount of cotton ginned to October IS. The Ma tional Ginners' association was reported as placing the amount ginned to October IS at 4,453,00O bales, or 45 per cent of the crop, which would indicate a yield of about 9,900,000 bales. MT. Price of New York appears in public print by publish ing results of his returns from 1855 gins, showing 34.2 per cent less ginned than to same date one year ago, October Is, which indicated about 4,495,000 bales ginned against 6,42O994 bales last year, which, assuming the ginning this year to be relatively the same as one year ago, pointed to crop of about 9SO0,0OO bales.
 Liverpool closed at an advance of 2i to 22 points higher than yesterday and private cables were of this character: With large increase spindles every where. and unprecedentedly large trade engagements and early killing frost in late crop, outlook for consumers, most of whom largely uncovered, looks serious.

HAS new TURN
Charge Dropped in Which

Trying toBlackmail Young
TWO SMITHS IN COURT
Attempt Made to Have the
Conspiracy Action Dis
missed by New York Judge

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE indict-
ment charging Nan Randolph with
conspiracy with ]. Morgan Smith and
Mrs. Smith wrongfully to obtain money
from Caesar Young was dismissed in
the Court of General Sessions to-day
at the request of Assistant District At
torney Rand. Counsel for the Smiths
demurred to the Indictment against the
Smiths and declared that the facts al
legged against them did not constitute
crime. The court reserved the de-
Ciston. Counsel for the Smiths endeav-
ored to secure the return of property
taken from the Smiths, but failed.
Miss Patterson, who is about to be
tried again for the murder of Caesar
the Smiths. Rand told the court that
a mistake had been made in drawing
UP the Indictment against Miss Pat
terson and that it tended to prejudice
her position in the capital case The
effect of the action will be to prevent
her counsel from seeing the Grand Jury
minutes. which might have aided in her
defense.
In support of his contention that the
facts charged against the Smiths did
not constitute conspiracy, their coun-
sci read an intercepted letter from
Julia Smith to Caesar" Young, In
which the writer stated that Miss Pat
terson was about TO become a mother,
which Is one of the allegations in the
charge of conspiracy to get money from
Young. He declared that false pre-
lenses could not be considered extor-
ton.
Smith and his wife, who were excused
from pleading. were remanded to the

PACKERS AGAIN
BOOST PRICES
General Advance in Meat Is
Made on the Plea of a
Scarcity in Cattle Supply
DEEP LAID PLAN SEEN
Stockmen Declare Increase
Out Of Proportion to the
Figure for Beef on Hoof
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, April a. The packing
plants to-day notified the retailers of
this locality that an advance in the
price Of meats will take effect at once.
Beef ribs go from to 121s cents;
steers from IA to s1a, and beef loins
from 13 to 16. All meats advance in
about the same proportion. the increase
varying from a third to a fifth. The
packers give as an explanation for the
sharp advance the scarcity Of cattle.
The South Omaha market records
show that shipments are fewer than
at corresponding time last year. Up
to the present there have been 1856
fewer cattle this year than last reck-
oning from January l. The commission
men and the heavy stock raisers thor
oughly acquainted with the situation
are incensed at the action of the pack
ers. They declare that the increase in
prices is part of carefully laid plan
to bring about higher prices. They
point out that two years ago the pack
ing companies combined to keep down
prices so that stockmen all over the
Middle West engaged in feeding"
sustained heavy losses and this year
either abstained from investing in
feeders" or else began feeding only in
the spring for the late summer and
fall market. The stockmen declare the
increase is out of all proportion to the
small increase in the price paid for
beef on the hoof.
BALTIMORE, Nd, April 14.-Retail
meat dealers in this city have ad-
vanced the price of beef on most cuts
about cents pound, due to the con-
tinued advance in the wholesale price.
On the best grades the outside figures
show a jump of from to cents
pound.
AUSTIN, Texas, April 1.-THE legis-
lative committee appointed to investi-
gate the methods of the beef trust
and its operations in Texas made
report to-day and stated In substance
that, while 1t had made much inquiry.
there had not developed evidence Of
specific violation of the antitrust law
on which 1t could recommend the in
stigation of civil or criminal proceed
ings against any particular person or
corporation.

USE OF RIVERS
BRINGS PROTEST

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Pres
ident has appointed a special commits
sion to deal with three important ques-
tions which have arisen relative to the
diversion and interference with the
course of international rivers. This
commission consists of Judge Penfeld,
solicitor for the State Department;
Special Assistant Attorney General M.
C. Burch and Professor F. H. Newell
of the Geological Survey. The COM
mission has just had its first meeting.
All the questions before the commits
sion have formed the subject Of extern
sive correspondence between the State
Department and Mexico on the south
and the Dominion Of Canada as rep
resented by Great Britain on the north.
On the south there is the long stand
ing controversy growing out of the
damming of the Rio Grande and the
use of the waters Of the upper river
for irrigation purposes in American
territory to the injury Of the Mexican
farmers on the right bank of the river.
The Mexicans claim that the Rio
Grande is navigable and consequently
that this diversion Of the water Is In
violation of international law.
To the westward the commission is
to deal with the Colorado River, where
the upper waters in American terri
tory also are about to be diverted, to
the loss Of the Mexican ranches in
Lower California
On the north the Milk River projects
in Montana have alarmed the Canad-
ians. Arising in the United States, this
river flows into Canada and back again
into Montana.
The commission will have to deal
with some entirely new questions of
international law relative to riparian
rights.
AS the result of the conference with
Secretary Taft 1t was decided that as
projects such as the international dam
across the Rio Grande River and the
reclamation dam on the Colorado
River had been authorized by Congress,
there was nothing to do but to pro-
ceed with the work, leaving the broad
er question of international riparian
rights to be treated automatically.

the reason for their mutual antipathy.
Their joint debut in the Police Court
occurred about year ago, when Vet
eran Ulmer was accused of having
battered Patriarch Prices head with
walking stick. The assault was pro-
nounced justifiable by the magistrate
who urged the old boys to shake hands
and decide to dwell in amity, as they
had not very long to remain on this
sphere, anyway; but the suggestion
found favor with neither of them.
With augmented hatred of each other
they returned to their wonted haunt
and last Thursday afternoon the In
evitable renewal of violent hostility
took place. While Mr. Ulmer was i'm
mersed in whist with some kindred
spirits Mr.. Price battered him from
behind.
In the court of Judge Mogan sew
eral witnesses swore that Mr.. Price
was of more Quarrelsome nature than
Mr.. Ulmer, the latter apparently be-
ing content to confine his antagonism
to covert knocking of his foe,
whose enmity was openly demonstra-
tive. His Honor took the case under
advisement till next Friday and again
advised the living relics of a day for
ever dead to get together in their anec-
dotage and thus avert useless compe-
tition.
Judge Cabaniss dismissed the charge
Of mayhem against Eugene Landsburg
after he became convinced that the
gnawing of one of Charles Randall's
thumbs by Mr.. Landsburg was pro-
voked by a finger of the same hand
being utilized as a gouge to destroy
one of his eyes. Mr.. Randall waxed
very indignant when the decision was
announced and the Judge told him
that he might appeal to the Grand
Jury, which Mr.. Randall said he
would do.
The woman at the bottom of the
brutal encounter was Miss Nellie
James, in whose apartment on Kearny
street it occurred. Mr.. Landsburg
was visiting her when Mr.. Randall ar
rived, and. in jealous rage, started to
beat her. While protecting her Mr..
Landsburg discovered that Mr. RAN
dali was industriously endeavoring to
squeeze out one of his eyes and in
self-defense he clutched the thumb
between his teeth and chewed it so
vigorously as to render the amputation
