the purpose of weaving into cloth in their own factories. There is, how ever, almost as great boom" in yarns for export as in cloth. Spin ners are sold twelve months ahead; i; they do not book so far in advance as fancy prices are obtainable for early delivery. while immediate delivery Is almost impossible. This yarn export Is mostly for India, China and Japan, and the business done in the last four months has been most satisfactory.
 The one disquieting feature of the situation is an uncertainty as to wheth- will be realized. It has to be remem- bered that the only evidence in support of that estimate is the ginners' report. and this Is only the second year ot that statement. All the ordinary indi- cations favor a crop of 11,500.0 900 bales Experienced men on the manufacturing market do not close their minds to the possibility that serious elunder may conceivably have been made. and that the crop may be considerably below the high figure of the ginners. If that should prove to be the case the specu- lators will come in and play havoc.
 Lancashire Safe.
 Whatever happens. Lancashire is safe. The manufacturers are well coV- cred for yarns. and the spinners are covered for raw cotton. With a bum per crop the price mighDfall below the present figures of 4 1-2 per pound; but as it leaves both spinners and manufacturers a good margin they havo supplied themselves rather than take risks for the sake of a possible slight cheapening.

Coroner Investigating Circumstances Tn

Coroner Investigating Circumstances Tn
der Which Her Daughter was Married.
Coroner's Physician Wuest OF Brooklyn
yesterday made public his report on the
death Of Mrs. Carrie Peck, the mother
Of the young woman whose marriage notice
was accompanied with the death notice
Of her mother. both events having occurred
almost simultaneously, as II was intended
10 be understood, within the home Of the
PeCks at 4O3 Monroe street, Brooklyn, on
Sunday last. His report declares that Mrs
Peck's death was due TO gas asPhyNiation.
Whether suicidal or accidental he and the
Coroner were not ready 20 say last night.
The young couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
W, Primrose, as they are now known, got
considerable notoriety by reason OF the
arrest Of the bridegroom at the Hotel ST.
George, TO which he had taken his bride, on
a charge Of assaulting the clerk when asked
TO register his wife as a guest Of the hotel.
The Coroner's investigations up 10 last
night had brought 70 official light only
the statements Of William c. Peck, the
husband Of the dead woman, who asserts
that death was due entirely 70 accident
He says that his wife was very nervous,
having suffered for the last six months
from nervous prostration. She retired
TO a small hall room at 2 o'clock on Sunday
morning and later was found dead In a
chair. There was an odor OF gas In the
room.
The exact hour at which the marriage
ceremony, reputed 10 have been performed
at the bedside Of Mrs Peck, really occurred
has not been disclosed by the family Young
Primrose said positively to sun reporter
that the marriage was celebrated after a
dinner party had dispersed and after the
same party had been to the theatre. A
second dinner party was held after the
wedding ceremony. That the wedding
was held at the home Of the minister, the
Rev. DR.. W. p. c. RhOades, and not at the
home Of the bride, was also positively
asserted by one Of the wedding party last
night. II is also understood that the
mother Of the bride was not aware Of the
marriage and was exceedingly nervous
and worried because Of her daughters
absence after midnight,
The discrep ncies in the time Of the
performance Of the ceremony and the
fact that Mrs. Peck was III with a nervous
affection tend to show, in the opinion Of
Coroner Williams, as expressed yesterday,
that there is more behind the cause Of
death than accidental gas poisoning. He
declared that be would make A further
investigation before closing the case,
There will be an inquest on March %,
