Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

The bull leader in New York was the bright speculative sun around which the cotton market revolved today. Even be- fore our market opened there were re- ports, afterward confirmed, that the bull leader there was evidently on the point of closing out his interest in July posi- ton. The market opened fairly steady but shortly afterward an avalanche of July cotton was thrown on the New York market which slid down hill at a great rate. July longs in this market becoming uneasy over the turn that events had taken in New York. became Tree sellers, and decided slump in values was record ed In this market before the big bulls could rally their forces
 After the weekly weather report came out, although 1t was no more bearish than expected, another selling movement developed, and on this second dip, not a few orders were reached with the re- 11.O6c. Fresh buying at this level, and covering by shorts here and in New York caused a recovery of 10 points during the late afternoon session.
 The spot market was officially reported quiet and 1-16c lower on all grades. Sales amounted to 800 bales of spots and $50 bales to arrive. Middlng cotton was quoted at Il 3-16c. The tendency on the part of ~specuators to transfer their in- terests to the new crop months, was much more apparent today in both mar kets than it was the other day when we first called attention to this feature, just then developing.

AbercrOmble & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Today was the day of reckoning for manipulators at New York, the current month declining about 45 points when compared with the closing level of yes terday. May dropping from Il .31 to 10. S5, the little corporal of Wall street having met his waterloo. The large stock of spot cotton at New York made successful manipulatons of summer months in the northern market almost an impossibllity. The public was educated on these lines and proflting by the lessons of the past, steered clear of all danger by letting those who opposed the bull movement of last winter fight their own battle. There was no public to unload on this time, and as July and the new crop months were selling at a discount the results of buying premiums and selling discounts are once more written on the walls. Of late, large coastwise shipments have been made in New York from the South Atlantic ports, and instead of the stock in the northern market diminishing al a rapid rate, as 1t was predicted to do three weeks ago, when large exports to Europe were re- reported The receipt of about 5000 bales there yesterday increased the stock to about 163,00O bales, against about 152,000 bales in the early part of May, notwith- standing 5000 bales or so having been de- stroyed by fire about one week ago. It Is said that upwards of 15OO0 bales of July contracts were thrown upon the market in the early hours of the day and that the May option was virtually sacrificed h the liquidation movements that was inaugurated after the opening. Longs had many unfavorable feature to conend with.

Definition of A Gentleman

1t will be remembered that man who died re.
Gently in Joplin Mo-. left bequest of $40 900 for the
purpose of distributing Mark Twains definition of a
gentleman among the members of the Y. NJ c. A.
In an address to the Y. M. c. A. of New York Mark
Twain took occasion to refer to this incident and to
pay beautiful tribute to his old coachman and
friend. He said
"Here is telegram from Joplin, Mo-, and it
reads: In what one of your works can be found the
definition of genteman?' 1 never attempted to
define gentleman. I do not know exactly what it
is. Of course, if they were to give me the $4,000
would endeavor to find definition. 1t seems to me
that there a read here from the Bible
about justice, mercy-what that third one ?-ves
kindness 1t seems to me that if any man has lust
merciful and kindly instincts that he would be
gentleman, for he would need nothing else in this
world. ."-Catholic Northwest.

the part of the white man and on the part of the
black man.

Will Check Divorce Evil

From practically all parts of the Union the pa
pers vocing public sentiment expressive of graf
ifcation over the decision handed down last week by
the United States supreme court relative to the e-
gality of divorces granted in states which do not
have jurisdiction over both the parties concerned.
The decision is reasonably considered to be an i'm
portant check on the divorce evil, which has grown
to scandalous proportions and is sappng the very
foundations of society. 1t goes long way toward
what has often been sought through legislation,
though is not to be supposed there will be any re-
taxation in efforts to secure uniformity in the divorce
laws of the various states.
Some measure of CONSERVATION has been felt in
connection with the supreme courts decision be-
cause of the assumption that it would ilegtimatlze
many thousands of children, and this point was
brought out prominently in the dissenting opinion of
Justice Holiness This would indeed, be deplor-
able result but it does not appear that it would nee
essary follow the decision except in cases where the
divorce and subsequent remarrage of the party OBJ
tanning the divorce attacked In hundreds OF
there is little if any, probability OF such attack
being made. One or other of the parties may be
dead or both may have married again. Should the
defendant in the divorce proceedings not attack the
Decree it is not apparent that any else is entitled
to do So and where the validity of the divorce is un-
questioned by the party entitled to bring the matter
into court the legal status of children by subse-
quent marriage should naturally remain unimpaired.
The main effect of the present decision will be to
end the present promscuous granting OF DEGREES
whose validity, it is shown, can be successfully
attacked There will be practical cessation of short
term residences in states like South Dakota where
divorces easily obtanable since it is demonstrate
ed that DEGREES there granted are certainly vodabe.
