Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

The market ruled quiet but steady to- day as a result of the south refusing point blank to sacrifice its cotton at the decline influenced by last Tuesdays gov srnment bureau crop report, which on its face indicated yield of not more than 10, 600 000 bales, but which shorts were wont to surmise as pointing to crop of over 100000 bales in order that they might talk of a possible sufficient supply to satisfy spinners' demands for a like amount of cotton, mill takings last season of practically eleven months amounting to SIP 435. 600 bales. Every effort was made to disorganize longs and to discourage planters, with the view of inducing spot holders and those long of futures to liqui- date. The brunt of the battle fell to the lot of the farmers, who, having profited by his experience of last winter In mar keting his cotton judiciously resolved again to show his financial independence | by exactng for his fruits of labor noth- ing less than a fair price at home--1O cents per pound There Is not section of the belt but where farmers are storing or carting back home since the tnwar- ranted drop in values, occasoned by a report that added a promise of about | 100000 bales more than the report of the month before-71.2 against 72.1-and there l are those who think the general average too high or else the condition as reported last october, 75.6, was too low

A Smooth SWIndler Arrested.

CHICAGO, August Enlarged with
swindIing merchants in twenty.one
cities out of thousands of dollars,
Norman +. Roberts, alleged money
order raiser and forger, was arrested
last night at sub-postal station.
Roberts said he was salesman until
few weeks ago. He is twenty.seven
years of age and comes from New
York but has wife in Baltimore.
Roberts method has not differed
from that OF several other swindlers,
including one woman, who has been
sent to the penitentiary from Chicago
within the last three years. The forger
buys money order at substatiOn,
usually for twenty-five cents, and pay.
able to some other person. Then all
the writing is erased with chemicals
and the blanks are filled out for any
amount under 800. In Chicago the
signature of Postmaster Coyne was
forged.
The raised order then was offered
by the swindler to some business
house in exchange for small pur-
chase and the remainder, which the
forger receives, represents the amount
of his dishonest gain.

To Pacify Chinese.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-President
Roosevelt and his advisers are doing
all in their power to pacify the Chinese
guilds, who have inaugurated a boy.
colt against American goods. Some
time ago the president directed that
the administr alton of the laws relat.
ing to the Chinese be modified, but
this action did not satisfy the Chinese
merchants, who were compelled to re.
turn to their homes after being ar.
rested and treated as criminals.
1t has been decided by the depart.
ment of commerce and labor to send
officers OF the immigration bureau to
China to examine the students and
merchants who claim they have the
right to enter the United States. Thus
those who propose to come to America
will be saved the expense Of the jour.
ney If it is found they are not eligible.
This plan, it is believed, will be EN-.
inently satisfactory to the Chinese,
and will do much towa ard inducing the
government to renew the treaty pro.
viding for the exclusion of Chinese
from the United States.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.-With no
intention of admitting the fever situa.

hope OF revlving confidence here and
elsewhere in the south, official and
business interests decided today to
send request to President Roosevelt
to have the United States government
assume full charge of the struggle now
in progress to wipe out yellow fever
from New Orleans.
The public approves the action
taken. Expectation is that within the
next two days Surgeon General WV.

In the campaign.
The action taken was the result of q
meeting held late today at the Cotton
Exchange. 1t was the concensus of
opinion that. if government control
was resolved on, there would be an
immediate restoration of confidence

states in the south where there has

in the case OF Master Newman he
made an exception.
A few days ago Secretary Reed re-
ceived letter from young Newman

that the money was sent because the

no apprehension that any serious col.
