 Yesterday marked further decline in the cotton market. The cause seemed to be the issuance of the National Ginners' Report, which gave the figures e.02s.0oo as the number of bales ginned to date. This report was about as expected howevss. The report was dishearteninE to the bulls as heavy liquidation was reported on the New York market. and many stop loss orders were caught. This further weaken ed the market.
 The census bureau of the government will today issue the gfnner's report, and the re- port is looked forward to with the great est interest.
 The local market declined in sympathy with the New York market yesterday. Cot ton men in Montgomery that the grades of cotton being brought 10 town for sale is of such poor, quality that there is merely a nominal demand for If. and whoever buys it will have to keep 1t on his hands until he can create demand. Local buyers have received word from the consumers, that is the spinners, that they do not want poor grades The market was quoted yesterday at a decline of twenty points from Wednesdays close

confessed here to-day that he was the murderer
Of Emma Levin. wealthy Swedish woman.
whose dismembered body found in the
trunks of Mr.. Goold and his wife upon their
arrival here ON August from Monte Carlo
This trunk mystery created much excitement,
especially as IT was learned that the Goods.
who English. were of good family Their
explanations of how the corpse to be in
their baggage were not convincing. and the con-
fession of day does not come a surprise
Goold made his confession to the examining
magistrate He related coolly all the details OF
the horrible crime. He alone had slain the
woman, he said. and 1T was he who cut up her
body although his wife had helped him pack IL
away in their baggage. After this had been
done they both agreed to Journey to Marseilles
where they planned to cast the body into the
sea. Mrs. Goold. whose first name IS Violet, also
confessed her part IN the crime She said her
husband had promised to give Emma Levin the
sum of 500 for certain reason. but she de-
manded 500 more which she wanted TO give to
a male friend. To this Mr.. Goold objected. and
said he would not pay the extra hundred Tht<e-
upon Emma Levin abused him.
Referring to what happened next, Goold says
in his confession: II had been drinking. and.
becoming angry. seized hunting knife and
buried it in Emma's back. She fell dead. The
next day / dismembered the body with a saw
and knife and placed the torso in trunk and
the head and legs in valise- / stabbed the
woman only once. The other wounds on her
body must have been caused by shaking around
IN the trunk
Goold said they carried off Emma Levins
Jewels. not for their value. but in order to pre-
vent their discovery In his apartment
Referring to mis- family. Goold said his grand
father was a baronet and his father an Irish
magistrate He said he had at one time served
sacretIv ON the Irish Land Commission in Dub
lin In 1893 he moved to Montreal. where he
savs he made a fortune. He then went to
Holland and later moved to Monte Carlo Mrs
