Loveman g Co.'s Market Letter.

Liverpool on yesterdays figures failed
dismaly this morning. the early advance
of to points being followed by a decline
of 10 points, leaving the close to D
under last Fridays level The immedi-
ate cause of the sharp break In Liverpool
was the Indifference displayed by our
markets. which, however, was not sur
prising In view of the fact. that spot
sales in Liverpool were only 5000 bales.
On its face this seemed an indication that
spinners at least did not consider govern
ment figures bullish and thought best to
stay out of the market on any attempt
to advance prices. A new low level was
established for July here-1O. 40, while the
far months declined within l point OF
the low level of last week. There was
considerable steadiness displayed, how
ever, at the new level. Profit taking by
shorts was quite general, and some houses
are taking the long side in anticipation
of a good rally. This disposition will
broaden the market materially and make
II much less of one-sided affair than
it has been of late
The weekly weather report was on the
whole favora BILE, although North Carolina
has not had enough rain and drought
continues In Southeast Texas and parts
of Louisiana Every one seems convinced
that any serious damage to the new crop
would be the signal for a sharp upward
movement. the difference of opinion "
ing between the advisability of buying
cotton now and holding it for change
for the worse in crop prospects, or taxi
ing advantage of continued favorable
weather to sell it on, that belief that pre-
mature buyers will tire of their load and
unload unless unfavorable conditions de-
velop speedily.
Liverpool is due down on near months
and higher on the new months.

THE GREATEST GRAFT OF ALL.

Hardly a day passes that you
do not hear a Republican whose
party loyalty is undisputed rail
against rebates granted surrepti-
tiously by railroads to big ship
pers. They are not only illegal,
but they enable the trusts, for
the "big shippers" are the trusts,
to get special privileges and by
means of them crush out the
little fellows who, having no
such privileges, cannot compete
with them. Legislation is de-
manded to put an end to rebates
and to cut off one of the great
gratis of the trusts.
Hardly a day passes that you
do not hear a Repu blican Of un-
disputed party loyalty make a
great ado over the conspiracies
alleged to have been formed by
the beef packers for the plum
dering of the farmer, from whom
they buy, and the consumer, to
whom they sell, and for the an
Inhalation of the small packer
and dealers, whom they over
w h e I'm by means Of sundry
gratis. Legal prosecutions have
been undertaken and are yet de-
manded for the suppression of
the beef packers, conspiracies
and an end to their gratis.
Hardly a day passes that you
do not hear a Republican Of un-
disputed party loyalty express
indignation at the ways of the
Steel Trust and breathe forth
TRADES against the oppression of
small concerns and it's infinite
array of gratis. They profess to
desire change.
But if they would they could
put an end to the greatest of
gratis the protective tariff, by
which the trusts are enable to
plumber American consumers in
4he most artistic fashion. The il
legal gratis are not a circum-
stance to this legalized one,

A BRAVE SPIRIT.

One of the pathetic scenes
that followed the destruction Of
San Francisco was the kneeling
of men, women and children
among the wrecks of their houses
of worship. From the stone
steps and broken pillars of these
lately magnificent edifces, from
beneath the shattered and blast
ed trees along the upheaved
avenues, from the green slopes
of parks and cemeteries that
overlooked the blackened ruins,
anthems swept out, prayers were
offered and grateful thanksgiv-
ings returned for the preserva-
ton of life and the little that
remained of the splendid city.
There was no distinction of
sect or creed when the scattered
remnants of broken congrega-
tons assembled to worship with
whatever pastor, and reverently
bowed their heads in the open
cathedral of the armament. Ser
vices were held without altar,
roof or aisles, devout men lifting
up their voices like Hagar i'm
the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
On Sunday morning after the
destruction of the city forty poor
Cinnamon, stripped Of every
earthly belonging but tn cir
queues and the clothes upon thier
backs, knelt down at the usual
hour of worship in the ashes of
their temple and sent up their
simple and fervent petitions to
the giver of all good gifts.
1t is cruel to say that the trag-
ic calamity came as the wrath of
God. 1t is cruel to say that San
Francisco was wicked. She may
have possessed her measure of
iniquity. And so do all cities
But let us at least be charitable
to the dead. Let us believe in
the brave spirit that is lifting
the shafts of a new metropolis.
Sufficient refutation of any
charge of insincerity, are the
rituals held above the ruins of
the fallen city. The whole affair
was a stupendous tragedy.
Across the continent swept the
walls of the desolate. By strange
freaks of the unseen hand Of
death, survivors were left stand
ing alone. Parents gone; wives
gone; children victims. of
the indiscriminate elements A
voice was heard in Rama, lanen-
tation and weeping and great
mourning, Rachel weeping for her
children and would not be COM
fcrted because they were not.
A fortnight tomorrow since
the earth hurled the fine struct-
ures of the city into shapeless
heaps of rubbish. San Francisco
starts to-day where she started
fifty years ago. The work OF
half a century is to be gone over.
But already the smitten city has.
set her hand nightly to the;
task of restoring her lost estate,
and with the spirit that more
than once has made her great,
presses heroically onward and
refuse to look behind her.-Eliz-

which shuts out foreign competl-

tariff rates.
It the Republican leaders were
sincere in their outcries against
predatory wealth and their
avowals of enmity toward gratis
they would turn on the vicious
tariff. They would not expend
their wind and words on the less
er evils, but would assail this
greatest of all. Talk about eco

most virulent. Talk about graft,
the tariff is the most productive

johnny Whippen's New Watch.
Johnny Whippen wanted awatch on his
birthday and wanted everybody to know
he wanted it. For weeks in advance at
breakfast, lunch and dinner he told his
father, mother, sisters and brothers how
he yearned for the timepiece
His persistent harping on the matter
finally became unbcarable to the other
members of the family. When Johnny
mentioned the word watch" they be-
came severely silent. But Johnny kept
right on.
One evening he was sitting in the draw
ing room with his father and concluded 1t
was good opportunity to do little lob
bying for himself.
"Say, pa"
"Pa" laid down his paper on the table
and looked sternly at the boy over his
spectacles.
"Now, Johnny, I am going to put my
foot down on any moro of this watch TX.
You are making life burden for t. rest
of US So, If you were intending to ask
me about the watch, you had better not
say anything further. Don't let me hear
the word again"
Johnny was repulsed, but not defeated.
1t was the custom in the Whippen family
for each member to quote verse of Scrip
ture at family worship each morning.
The day following Mr.. Whippen's ulti'
matum the family met for worship It
was Johnny's turn to-quote verse. He
waited until he was sure all present were
attentive, and then he slowly repeated
with great emphasis the following verse:
"What I say unto you say unto all,
Watch"
Johnny wears it in his top vest pocket.
