Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

Cotton had a sort of artificial steadi-
ness this morning, due apparently, to
the manipulation Of New York bulls who
loaded the Liverpool market with bullish
crop information and buying orders and
caused a much better market there than
was expected.
The American markets improved in
sympathy although there were some
seekers after the truth who wanted to
know what prices were advancing on
anyway.
The movement was something fierce
Galveston alone received 9725 bales, of
which S424 were new.
The estimate for Houston tomorrow
was 1900 to 49, 900 bales versus 1886 last
year and 1876 In 1904.
Such large receipts promise almost a
record breaking movement of new cot
ton for the month of August. The mar
ket may be put up temporarily but it is
hard to believe in a permanent advance
If the movement continues of such large
proportions, The weather could hardly
have been better Some little rain was
scattered over the belt according to the
weather map, but temperatures were
even slightly under what might be called
moderate and effectually put an end TO
yarns of high temperatures.
The average maximum and minimum
temperatures over the entire cotton belt
during the twenty-four hours ending at 3
o. clock this morning were SO and 60 de-
grees.

Lovemen & Co.'s Market Letter.

Efforts to create scare among shorts
by vigorous circulation of bad crop re-
ports in certain sections have resulted
successfully today and under the strain
of heavy covering prices were lifted near
ly a &c from Saturdays close. This
leaves a rise of 81 per bale from the
low point of the season. The rush to buy
on the part of shorts was in the nature
of a stampede for a short while. there
was only checked by the selling of bulls
to take profits. The reports of deterlora-
tion received today were of substantial
nature coming from people well known
here and enjoying the confidence Of the
brokers.
According to these reports there has
been a falling off in condition of from
10 per cent to 20 per cent during the
past ten days in central Alabama and
the lowlands of Mississippi,
While 1t is true that these are the
first real complaints received this sea-
son and are really not more than the
average for this season of the year, the
overwhelmed short interest didn't stop
to argue but tried to cover all at once.

Terrible Disaster off Alki Point.

The steamer Dix was ran down and
sunk, about DO o'clock Sunday even
ing, by the steamer Jeanic, oil Alki
Point, and, horrible TO relate, about
fifty lives were lost. The Dix was on
her way from Seattle to Blakcly, and
her passengers were mainly Blakeley
people. The survivors agree that the
fault was entirely due to the Dix.
The Captain, Percy Lermond, had left
the wheel to collect fare, placing the
mate, Charles Dennison, in charge,
who attempted to cross the bow of the
Jeanne, which was passing en- route for
Tacoma. The shock that came,
knocked passengers down and stag.
gered both boats. The Dix turned
partially over, then righted herself
and began to fill through the gaping
hole in her side. For about five min.
utes her stern slowly settled, while her
bow raised from the water. Passen-
gers on deck and upper cabin jumped
overheard, and about 80 of the Y
passengers and Capt. Lermond and a
deck-hand of the crew of six were
saved.
1t was mainly those on deck at the
time of the disaster who were saved.
They jumped terror-stricken into the
Sound and were picked up by the
Jeanie's boats. Those in the main
cabin, lower deck and engine-room
were simply unable to escape from the
fearful doom that awaited them. A
few obtained egress by breaking out
the cabin windows. For three hours
the Jeanie stood by to rescue survivors,
when she turned her PROV towards
Seattle to carry the sad news and en-.
list aid in the hopeless task OF further
rescue. The tugs Tyee and Balada,
with other craft, went to the scene Of
disaster mainly for the possible recov-
cry of bodies of the unfortunates.
Among the drowned were Mrs.
Granger of Spokane, Mrs. T. C. Ford,
wife of the Superintendent of the
Blakely mill and Mrs. James Smith
and Mrs. August Nelson, OF the same
place. Miss Alice Simpson, aged Is,
was saved. Most of the victims were
employees in the mill. There was a
Filipino, three Cinnamon and five
Japs among the missing.
The steamer Jeanne is OF 1,07l tons
gross and S62 net, built at Bath. Me-,
in 1888. Her length is 1868 feet,
breadth 37.9 and depth 1873. She
carries crew of IS and has an indi.
Gated horsepower of 400. She oper-
ated for a time between San Fran
cisco and the Sound, and was sub
sequeutly engaged in freighting to
Alaska. The Dix ran between Seattle
and Tacoma last winter, while the
Flyer was undergoing repairs. She
has taken the Grayhound's run be-
tween this city and Tacoma at diff
ferent times while the latter boat was
undergoing repairs.

A Matter OF Social Ethics.

The eminent source from which the
suggestion of Trial Marriage" comes
has evidently given TO II muie atten
ton than would otherwise have been
accorded. It's no less talented wO-
man than Mrs. Elsie Cleas Parsons,
daughter of Henry Clewcs, 50 we'll
known III financial lie and the wife of
Herbert Parsons, NJ. c., from the 18th
District OF New York, who advocates
this startling reform. Mrs. Parsons is
Doctor of Philosophy and has been a
lecturer at Barnard College on social
istic subjects for six years. She de-
clares, reasoning from premises that
she considers as established, regarding
infclicities OF marriage:
1T therefore would seem well from this point
ut view, To encourage early thai marriage the
laIipu Ia be entered into with view to prrmu.

without -uficiIn. any great degree Of public con.

This opinion, coming from the au.
thor of textbook for colleges on so.
cialized study, has aroused the lively
denunciation of many prominent the
oloc!ans. and lst now the papers are
ti..cd with their comments. 1t may he
excusable for layman to express an
opinion, under these circumstances.
1t is, however, no new development
OF thought. 1t ls merely a suggestion
for an open and avowed test of Gus
tom, practiced with more or less secre-
sy, in the old country. and to some ex.
tent in pure and precise New England,
not many years ago, known as D." Bund-
ling" which is dimly and delicately,
though Enthusiastically defined, in most
if not all the larger dictionaries, (wh icb
see.)
II will probably ever be that the
ethics connected with this branch of
social duty will be involved in radical
differences of opinion. Human nature
is not good enough, or pure enough,
to sanction q probationary period, in
such an important matter as matri-
mony. Mankind is too gross to hope
that advantage would not be taken of
such, license as it doubtless is, in a
modi fed degree, OF present marriage
forms.
The social relations embrace rules
largely established by custom. The
remedy should come from that source,
and embrace rigid and memorable laws
OF both reward and punishment. 1t
should be equal and uniform; no con.
nivance or conformation of faults while

A PHYSICIAN is responsible for state
ment which is at once novel and sur
prising. He declares that the chances
OF dark women obtaining husbands are
to those of fair women in the proportion
OF three to two, and that this conclusion
is proved by statistics.-Er.
This seems q little strange, when
nearly half century ago, . society
was formed in France, noted for its
beautiful women and gallant men, for
the express purpose OF perpetuation OF
the blends, then regarded as the high.
est type of feminine beauty. 1t is
possible, however, that the dark. eyed
brunette may have just as enthusiastic
admirers and given expression to the
lament
