AusIey & Co.'S. Market Letter.

AuSIey q Cos. Market Letter
New York, June 23.-The one great
feature of the cotton market now is
the weather in the southwest. The
forecast promised showers tonight
and tomorrow which gave the bears
courage to increase their lines. The
weather man has been a little off in
his predictions Of late but most trad
ers were inclined to the belief that
drought would continue. To the
weather wise the only hope for rain
appeared to be in the chance com
ing from the Gulf Old timers who
have travelled Texas for a quarter OF
a century say that the drought will
not be broken until the wind comes
from the east.
In spite of the drought and a very
bullish visible supply statement there
was some disposition to sell the fall
months and this was encouraged by
the weakness in the July positioA.
The technical position of cotton is
strong and growing stronger daily D..
After all south Texas is not tae whole
belt and reports from the eastern
sections are not discouraging by any
means We consider the July posi-
ton as dangerous in the extreme as
delivery day is close at hand and we
believe there will likely be heavy
tenders made on that month.
Liverpool was two to two and a.
half points when dut to come about
point higher. The weekly reviews also
seemed favorable to prices while there
was a rumor Of hot winds in Texas
but this could not be verified.
One Of the prominent room traders
sold July heavily.

CHICAGO Markets.

Chicago, June 23.--The feature OF
the day was the buying of wheat by
Valentine which turned the whole
crowd bullish for a time but reports
of better weather in the corn and
oats belts checked the advance and
prices closed practically unchanged
although a somewhat better under.
tone prevailed. Provisions were weak
due it was said to the weakness in
the price of hogs and some heavy
liquidation in July pork. The corner
in July ribs by Armour has so far
not taken any sensational features.

New York Markets.

New York, June 23.-London was
shade higher. The market took a
very sharp turn shortly after the
opening but good support was notice
able in Southern Pacific. While the
bank statement was expected to be
good it proved very much better
than was expected but the Saturday
liquidation carried prices down some
what at the close. The market is
wholly a professional one and wide
fluctuations may be looked for at al
most any time as money is drawn
out of the western metropolis as all
such Withdrawals can hardly I've re-
placed before fall.

Petroleum.

A peculiar fact in respect to petrCs
leum is the difference of conditions
under which that oil occurs in Russia
and America. In the former it is found
In strata Of the tertiary period, usually
q formation resembling a quicksand
and at depths Of only few hundred
feet In our own country it occurs at
great depths in the older compact sand
stones and limestones Of the carbonii-
erous, devonian and silurian periods.
The oil of Russia consists Of a class
Of hydrocarbons known as naphthenes,
belonging to the benzine groups, while
our American oil is mainly composed
Of paraffin. It is to this difference
that the great variation between the
products from these oils is due, for,
while American oil yields a very large
proportion, say, about 20 per cent, Of
Illuminating oil exactly suited for com.
Dustion in our ordinary lamps, the Rus
sian oil produces far less of such oil
and a larger proportion of high class
lubricating oil. The Russian iIluminat-
ing oil also requires to be burned in a
modified form of lamp, with a more
perfect draft, in order to overcome it's
tendency to produce a smoky fame.

Special to the New Mexican.
Silver City, n NJ, Feb l9-Upon
the arrival of the stage from the Mog.
ollon mining district in this city yes
terday it was learned that Robert w
Hannigan, an old man over seventy
years of age, who was a passenger
from Alma to Silver city. was taken
from the stage after the driver had
been ordered to stop. by Robert Holli
man at the point Of the pistol.
Ordered Out.
Hoffman compelled Hannigan to dis.
embark and told him that Hannigan's
son, James w. Hannlgan, business
man of Dcming, owed him, HOLMAN.
one thousand dollars, and, unless he.
Hannigan, paid this sum, he. Hoffman,
would kill him. The old man promised
so to do, and gave Hoffman paper
to that effect The latter. however.
insisted that that was not enough and
took Hannigan off with him into the
Mogollon Mountains. Nothing has so
far been heard from either.
This hold up and abduction Is the
sequel to an occurrence, which hap
pened in that section some years ago
Robert W. Hannigan is the owner Of
quite bunch Of cattle, which for q
time, he had in charge Of Hoffman.
Becoming suspicious and believing that
Hoffman was stealing some Of the cat
tie, he took them away from him and
turned them over to Holliman's broth
er, Pab Hoffman, as manager. This
enraged Robert Hoffman considerably
and he swore vengeance against Han
nigan and his brother.
Other Trouble.
About three years ago, Hoffman en-.
countered Hannigan on the road be-
tween Silver City and Deming and
compelled him TO execute deed
transferring to him, HOLMAN, large
interest in the cattle herd Hannigan
upon returning to Deming brought suit
and had the conveyance set aside.
Since that Time, Robert hoffman mas
been on the qui vive for him and
caught him Friday last on the Mogol-
lon stage road. Officers have left Sill
yer City for the Mogollon country to
search for Hannigan and locate Holli'
man.
There is quite collection Of des'
peradoes In the Mogollon country and
the services of the mounted police are
certainly needed there Among the
desperadoes said to be In that section
are Wilson, who attempted to rob the

HUGE LOSSES.
Money Sent to Jews in Russia Only
Partly Helps the situa.

New York, Feb. 19.-Carl Stettauer,
of London, who directed the distribu.
ton of the Russian funds raised for
the relief Of Jews despoiled in the
and riots last November, has
arrived in this city.
ut has been difficult" said he, "to
estimate accurately the number of per.
sons who lost their lives in the out
RACES, but verified returns from ~ out
of the 301 towns in which the troubles
occurred show that the number killed
was 1853 and wounded $3.50,
The number of families directly af.
fected and those whose houses, shops
or factories were the objects OF at
tack and pillage, was between 100000
and $4,000. TO these must be added
those who were indirect sufferers,
clerks, workmen and the like to the
number of nearly quarter OF mil
lion persons who were thrown out of
employment by the destruction OF
shops and factories.
Many of these are still without work
in consequence. The direct material
loss Of property, either stolen or de-
stroyed by fire or plunder, was prob
ably $1O0,OOO,Ooo.
1t is, therefore, clear that the vast
sum collected in this country and
elsewhere could only recompense for a
small portion OF the loss.
