A VERY GOOD MAN"

People have hastily ascribed to De Raylan. the woman who elected to be a man. the most outrageous motives She has been called moral pervert. a human monstrOsity. We can not look into the heart of any man or wo- man and say what is therein. Some times the life of one becomes so com nlicated that there is no unraveling of it to the discovery of the motive.
 This is not the first time that two women have lived together for years as man and wife. In other instances after the discovery by death of such an unnatural relation it has been found that it was really not unnatural but that it had been entered upon for busi- ness reasons which, though unusual were very simple.
 In this case there has been no dis closure of the motive. so that We have before us only the character of De Raylan who is agreed to have been  she was far above the average of men in purpose and attainment From what We know of her. she was honest in all but one thing. conscientious and lofty minded. Not one man in ten thousand ever reached so high a standard Of manhood as she apparently reached. Not one in ten thousand was her equal in education or business ability. Every where she inspired respect, confidence and friendship among men and women. She might have been taken as model for men.
 We may imagine that she had no other motive than to break through the limitations of her sex. which is more closely confined in Russia than in this country. To her the stimulation of a man seemed to be her only outlet. There was then opened to her a field in which she labored with the greatest credit to herself while she lived, handi- capped, as she must have been, by the realization that she was woman and by the fear that her secret would be found out.
 This fear may account for some Of those acts which have reflected upon her morality as a man and may even have driven her into an unnatural marriage.
 The motive may have been some other, but whatever it was, it is hard to believe that this woman who held the respect of all her associates, whose brilliancy commanded the admiration of all with whom she came in contact, and whose manner compelled the friendship of all acquaintances, could have been a moral pervert.

The California newspapers have run the Hicks story into the ground quite as far as the entombed miner was. We once had in this county a miner under ground for thirteen days, not in tunnel, but at the bottom of a
 deep caved-in shaft. A new shaft had to be sunk to reach him after several attempts had been made to open the old one. and for days it was not known whether he was dead or alive. There was no pipe through which milk or other sustenance could be sent to him

and through which the strains of a phonograph could cheat his weary hours. He was buried in earnest. There was no hospital prearranged for his reception and nobody became hys- terical. When he got out there was no talk about putting him on the stage. He came to Phoenix the next day, a little pale. but matter of fact, and talked about his experience in a cold blooded manner as though it were a natural incident of the mining in- duStry.

American missionaries in Japan are said to be bitter against the San Fran cisco school board and to be encourag- ing the government to settle the con- troversy in a manner entirely satisfac- tory to Japan. Missionaries are very good people in their proper sphere. but governments have long since learned that it is safer to disregard them en- tirely in diplomatic matters.

Ware 6 Leland's Market Letter.

The long talked of and much anticipated notice day on July cotton arrived today In order to understand the importance of the event 1t is necessary to go back to the May deal two months ago. At that time large stock of cotton was at tracted to New York by reason or the advance in the price of the May contract. Much or at least a considerable portion of this cotton was low grade and grades not wholly desirable Holders of the May contracts took the cotton and then sold against the cotton for delivery in July.
 With the approach of notice day hold CTS of the July contracts have been sell ing out and the result has been an ex- tensive decline In prices New York has come to be the cheapest market in the country. Today notices for 10000 or 5000 bales were in circulation, and every house receiving the same and without any in- tention of taking cotton threw the cotton into the market. The result was a sharp decline at one time after which the mar ket rallied. Now that July Is out of the way there is a general impression that weather news will play a more important part in determining prices.

Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

First notice day for July in New York passed off pretty much as it did here. While a large number of notices reported to amount to 50,000 bales were issued, they were taken care of by large spot interests there. As soon as the early nerv- ousness had worn off, the market there steaded up resulting in q rather sharp reaction before the close Big bulls in- terests here, as soon HIS they saw the favorable course the market was taking In New York at once got busy. Brokers were set to work bidding up July on every favorable opportunity. The steady upward tendency of the July position finally alarmed shorts, who covered freely, caus- ing July contracts to sell as high as Il cents. The new crop months ruled sym pathetically strong. The steady advance in the July position here today proved that it is not yet dead month as many has supposed In fact, that month was very much alive today, most of the trad ing being centered in July, which was manipulated to suit the pleasure of tho bulls. Over-confdent shotrs had to take a reef or two In their speculative sails, not knowing whether they were encoun- tering simply a blow or q gale. While it Is a difficult matter to discern the real purpose of today's manipulation, we strongly suspect that it's object is to cause a general covering movement, Of which the prominent long interests will take advantage to sell on before the bureau report comes out next Tuesday. While there is undoubtedly large short inter- est in the new crop months which might be forced to cover, to a great extent, still the prospect of bearsf bureau on the third would probably lead to consid- erable fresh selling on the higher basis that might be established in the mean tlme

Abercrombie & Co.'s Market Letter.

In keeping with general expectations up- wards of 60O00 bales of spot cotton were rendered on July contracts at New York today and for a while had an unfavorable effect upon values. It became currently reported shortly after the opening of the market that the notices were gradu- ally being stopped for account of a prom
 inent exporting house and for account of prominent Wall street firm. Weath- CT conditions were favorable In all sec tions of the belt. the map showing little
 or no rain. Spot business at Liverpool was very small. only 400 bales at a de-
 cline of points, midding 6.10. The last installment of reports by states on con dition of crops in Texas and Oklahoma and Indian Territory was issued by the New York Journal of commerce today. and while the summary of report on Texas indicated some deterioration dur ing the past month the accounts of two territories denoted improvement. Liver pool held steady on contracts, however. and as provisions had been made for the carrying of large amount of cotton ten dered in the northern market a steader feeling prevailed. There exists some ap- prehension lest the government bureau crop report of next Tuesday will show a lower average by 2 or points than last months S46. Only day or two ago Mir
 Price reported loss In condition of the crop of 3.4 points, and noted sta fistician. who placed the deterioration for the first two weeks of June at Is points reported a further deterioration for the last two weeks of June by making the loss for the month 2 points. There was also published results of private returns
 showing an improvement during June of three-eighths of a point

MARKET STEAD|ER
 IN LATE TRADING July Notices Caused Nervous ness and lrreguIarity SALES WERE 25O,OOO BALES July Lead In the Late Advance on Cow erlns of Shorts and Showed the
 Maximum Gain at
 the Close.

New York. June 29.-It was the first July notice day in the local cotton market and notices representing between 50,000 and O. GOO bales, according to estimates were is- sued
 This caused some irregularty and ner- vousness but the market did not break to the low level of the week and ruled stead- fer in the late trading with the close very steady at net advance of to ! points, Sales for the day were estimated at 25O,OO0 bales.
 The opening was at a decline or l to points in spite of rather better cables than expected and July soon sold off to 1O.0o, or points net lower, while the new crop held relatively steady in spite of the good weather reported over the south. Later 1t became evident that July notices were being stopped, spot interests bid for that position in the open market and after midday the new crop months, which had sold about 1 to points net lower, steadied up on a private condition report showing a deterioration for the month of about 2 per cent. July led in the advance during the late trading on covering of shorts and showed the maximum gain at the close.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today. 4427 bales against 606S last week and 14,- 40S last year. For the week, 3OO00 bales against 31 .S23 last week and 7,54S last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 712 bales against 3113. last year, and at Houston 10.O26 bales against 261S last year.

Worlds Visible Supply.

New Orleans, June 29.-Secretary Hes- ter's statement of the worlds visible sup ply of cotton. made up from special cable and telegraphic advices, compares the fig ures of this week with last week, last year and the year before. It shows a de- crease for the week just closed of 137.545, against a decrease of 135.9A last year and a decrease of % ,063 year before last.
 The total visible is 3.114,466, against B. 232 OH last week, .0f1 last year and 2, ,O67, ,s03 year before last Of this the total of American cotton is 1759.4e6 against ,S55,011 last week, 2.151 ,04l last year and l. .092, ,s03 year before last, and of all other kinds, including Egypt.

against corporations, professional opera tors looked for some covering demand on the actual adjournment of Congress. The argument was heard also that the administration programme against the trusts has been outlined. leaving no further measures to be feared.
 The seeming restraint with which the bears operated In the market was ae- counted for by these conditions
 The suppostion that money will work easier with the turn of the half year also played part in the days opera tions. although it was pointed out that on previous occasions the unsettlement in money has continued for several days after the period of the settlements. The announcement of about S500.000 gold se- cured from the Bank of England for im- port to New York had the effect of con firming that next weeks expected large arrivals of South African gold in London would be secured for New York. although the banks have lost over a million dollars to the sub-treasury on the weeks opera tions. There has been a sufficient gain on the express movement at the inte- rior to indicate an increase in cash of about s2,7o0,OOO. The weeks liquidation in stocks is expected to reduce the loan item and make a strong bank return
 Stocks which have been most active in the speculation continued under notable pressure notwithstanding the restraining factors. It was concluded that the calling of loans still affected most directly stock market pools and large speculative hold ings in the market The concurrent weak ness of the Hill railroad stocks and of the United States steel stocks pointed to liquidation of speculative holdings which have been acquired in connection with the Great Northern ore deals re- port. Rumor pointed to the closing out of an important speculative account for an estate in process of settlement.
 Todays reports of net earnings of rail- reads for May made very strong show ing with the exception of that for Read ing, which showed the final effects of the anthracite miners strike. The lowest prices of the day were touched in the last hour, and the market closed weak and near the lowest, material net losses throughout.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, S1,170,000.

 Final Hour
BEAR PARTY VERY CAU TI0US
Short Selling fof Bear Account Be.
 { lieved to Be Based on Apprehen- { sions of Further Congress lonaI Action vs. Trusts.

New York, June 29.-Stocks came upon the market freely from time to time to- lay in continuance of the liquidating movement recently in progress. The re- suit was sort of nibbling at prices which made constant inroads upon values, and was highly disconcerting to holders of long stock. The consequence was a growth in selling pressure until in the lnal hour the market took on the weak and semi-demoralized tone which charac- terized Wednesdays break. In a few cases prices got back to lower level than during the decline of the first part of yesterdays session. The bear party showed great caution in their operations and made no such raids on prices as were In evidence earlier in the week It was evident that a waiting demand existed at the lower levels and this was attrib- uted to the outstanding shorts who took the opportunity in this way to realize their profits. There are no important in- cidents bearing on values in today S news.
 Money on call was active all day in consequence or caillnS or loans Dy lne banks in preparation for meeting the July settlement requirements. The fact that this is the last day of preparation previous to the July first payments as the money market at the stock exchange Is wholly nominal on Saturday, left room for some feeling that the worst effects of the coming requirements were being felt in today's money market.
 Advices from Washington during the day pointed to the possibility of final adjournment of Congress tonight. As large short selling for bear account is Believed to have been based on appre- henslon of further congressional action
