Tcnnessce's Peabody Normal College Must Get More Money from State Before Receiving
 Its Share.

New York, oct 1.--surprise was oc- casoned today when the trustees of the Peabody education fund met here and decided not to make q final distrlb- ution of tho fund of S25OO,O0O left by George Peabody of Massachusetts, In 1867 for the purpose of educating the children of the southern states. In es- tablshlng the fund the donor provided that the income Of the s2,5OO,OOO was to be used each year for educational purposes and at the end of thirty years the trustees were given permission 10 distribute the money among such edu- catonal institutions as they should se- lect
 At the previous meeting of the trustees among whom is President Roosevelt. 1t was practically decided to make the distribution.
 The reason given for not making the distribution to-day 1t was stated, was that the Peabody Normal college for teachers had not compiled with conditions stipulated by the trustees when the college was founded The agreement was that to cntitle the Pea body college to st,000,0OO when the distribution was made appropriations agrregating s760O00 must first be made for. the benefit of the college by tho city Of Nashville. Joseph IT, Choatc and Richard Olney of the board of trustees. were appointed a committee 10 investigate whether this condition had been lived up to and l their report to-day showed that the city of Nashville and Davidson coun- ty had made appropriations amount. 1 ing to sS00OOO, but that the state had made no appropriation as vet.

Chicago, July 11.-(Special.)-We ern wheat receipts, 442,0o0. In the wheat market at the opening there was %@Ac advance, which was solely the result of continued dry, hot weather. in the spring wheat country. Liverpool was higher, but gave the reason for 1t is sympathy with strength on this side. Futures at Liverpool were from 1a O 9s higher, and spot wheat up lac for red winter.
 Following the initial advance there was much realizing of long wheat as a precaution against weather possibil- ities between today and Monday. Pres sure to sell because of possible inn provement in weather conditions in the northwest before the next session be- came more general, but there was enough demand at. that to cause the market to close with a net gain oI F O 5sc for the day. Corn had further rise and at one time both the current months delivery and the September were up to 75c. They were not far from that at the close. Oats for old style July delivery closed 12c higher and September 11sc up. Provisions also were in excellent demand at a further good advance.

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS GOOD GAIN Wall Street Shorts Lead De-
 mand for Buying
TRADE OUTLOOK IS BETTER
Little Interest Is Taken In the Market and Daily Grind Reflects Only Movements of Spectators
 With Others Inactive.

New York, July 1.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 1 to 5 points under bear pressure in the face of cables that had a better average than expected. Later the market rallied to about last nights figures on covering. led by Wall street shorts, with October lead ing the demand and relatively firm, spot houses being competitors in that month in view of the fall needs and better trade outlook. New Orleans was also a buyer up to 9.S1c for October Again there was a disposition to sell which checked the rise on reports of free spot offerings of old cotton by Texas owners and sales late yesterday; immediate ship ment at lower prices landed at Boston, and more offered.
 There being no speculative impulse and the demand for trade hedges being the narrowest known at this season in many years, the cotton market has drifted into stupidly dull affair and the daily grind no longer bears any close relationship to the bigger doings of other days. The absence of hedge trading is due to the lack of forward business between mer- chants and consumers. The lack of spec ulative energy is the result of a combina- ton of circumstances, the freezing out or southern buyers playing the leading role In that their present inaction intensi- nes the bearlsh sentiment of the re- mainder of the world which, through the process of elimination, ultimately has come to mean no sellers as well as no buyers. The open market in which the freedom of contract and the law of SUD- ply and demand alone govern the com mod1ty's destiny, suffers under such con dltions, and in the instant case the man who produces cotton and sells it to the consumer bears the burden since the life of his industry depends upon a broad and ever ready demand for the fruit of his toll.
 The cotton market closed with prices 8 to F points higher.

GOOD SUPPORT TO MARKET
Hv THOMAS c. sHoTWELL.

New York July Special.)-Although the stock market broke sharply in the last hour today. and although the close re- corded net loss in the active issues, the volume of trading was very small and tho decline was looked upon only as the re- action which has been expected for seV- eral days. Some of the best speculative authorities are of the opinion that tfe de- cline now in progress will be stopped very soon, perhaps Monday, but most cer- tainly on Tuesday. The Hartman party has pledged itself to support the market for at least two weeks longer in order to accomplish certain things in connection with the new Union Pacific bond issue. No important interest is anxious to break stocks just now, and 1t is only logical that a quick recovery will be seen.
 This is not saying that the real swing- ing bull market has begun. Indeed, 1t would seem that stocks are rather higher for the beginning of such thing, and especially so in view of the fact that odd lot investors are beginning to take prof its, Perhaps one reason for limit Of two weeks being placed on Harrimans active support is due to the desire of the Standard Oil party to test out this invest ment selling movement. If the small ln- vestors who are the backbone of the mar ket intend to take profits from this level upward. even Hartman will not be able to see any virtue in any advance. It is well known that the investors would pur- chase on a decline and the Standard oil people so love the dear public that they will try to give the people what they want.
 It were just as.well, therefore to follow the advances of the next two weeks with some suspicion. bearing in mind that Standard oil is acting in perfect good faith, but that it is really making an eX- pertinent.
