COTTON MARKET
 CONTINUES FIRM
Opening Is Lever on AdviceS
 trsm Liverpool
NO INTEREST IN TRADING
Holiday at New York Causes Contrac- ton of Business and the Close Is Practically Unchanged
 From Fridays Figures.

New Orleans, May 30--Cotton spots were steady with prices unchanged Mid 'dling, 11lAe. Sales were 45o bales on the spot and 450 to arrive. Futures opened steady, 1 point above to points below the close yesterday, which was in con formity with the situation au Liverpool Little activity was shown in the local future market during the halliday ses- sion.
 While the cotton crop west of the Mis- sissippi river shas undoubtedly received a severe setback by reason of excessive rainfall, the general outlook still includes prospective yield some greater than that of 1907. On the other hand, the trade situation, after making all legitimate al- lowances for logical improvement does not warrant very favorable comparisons with last year. Hence the rings are prompt to act on the bearish view when ever clearing skies and temporary let up in the keenness of tho demand for spot cotton give them the chance. Yester- days cotton market reflected the presence of this tendency, but throughout the ses- sion the strength of the remnant and the ever present menace of a July squeeze exerted a constant restraining influence and probably prevented a price drive of important proportions.
 Locally, spot merchants and speculative operators gave but little thought to any phase of the market other than the prob able action of the Joint legislative com mittee at Baton Rouge which last night heard the evidence on which 1t will predi- cate it's report on the Marston anti-future trading bill. On the outcome will depend the future of the New Orleans cotton exchange and the welfare of the south 8 cotton industry, for in the event the New Orleans exchange be eliminated by law, antagonistic interests at Liverpool and New York will henoeforth set the pace for the producer to follow.
 The closing of the New York market on account of decoration day had as it's effect the contracting of business here and the absence of a weather forecast from Washington serveu as similar factor. period of dullness ensued soon after the opening and a slight recession in values was brought about. At the Siooos "iiiSh Woo Quioei tio dCtiFo lLOutlS were 1 to points below the close yester- day.

age to tracks and bridges because of previous losses in earnings.
 But depressing factors did not end here, as rumors flew thick and fast in regard to impending troubles in the Gould roads. These, however, finally sifted down to the Wabash Pittsburg Terminal company which passed into the hands of receiver and the week closed with very general belief that other companies in the system would escape receiver ships
 The monetary situation all over the world is easier, except in Germany The Bank of England this week reduced its rate of discount to 21k per cent and open market quotations fell to nearly 1h per cent for the first time in many years. The Bank of England increased it's gold holdings to $608 100000 but the German Rechbank still maintains it's discount rate at per cent and the week closed with continued bidding on the part of the Institution for gold in this market. New York has now returned to Europe $4O,o00,o0o of the s10OOOO GOO imported dur ing the panic of 1907 and the local banks have also completed the payment of the last s45,0000OO deposits called in by the government. Notwithstanding the drain of ss5,0O0,O00 represented by these pgures, the surplus reserve has fallen only from ss7.O0O,0O0 to s460OO, 600, thus showing that the interior has sent a great volume of money to New York Trust companies also have large sur plus and naturally money continues very easy and Is available in large amounts.

What's the Answer?

From Judge.
 Henry Jones was a thoughtful, consid- crate young man, ever careful not to do or say anything that might wound the sensibilities of any other person.
 Consequently, when Henry Jones called on a young lady, rather than take the chances of inadvertently saying somc- thing that would make her unhappy he would talk about himself all the time.
 James Brown was also a thoughtful and considerate young man. ever eager to spread sunshine and joy throughout the world.
 Consequently, when James Brown called on young lady, rather than in- advertently say something about some body else and make her unhappy because he had mildly criticised a friend or com mended an enemy, MT. Brown talked about nothing but the young lady whom he was honoring with call.
 Answer in as few words as possible which of these young men was the more popular. You need not tell why.

What She Could Do.

From Harper's Weekly.
 It was at Montauk Point after our soldiers had returned from Cuba and the hospitals were crowded with sick and wounded, that the ladies visited them daily, carrying delicacies of every kind and doing all they could to cheer and comfort for the suffering.
 It happened one day that a pretty young woman of sixteen was endeavor- ing to cheer those around her, when she overheard a soldier exclaim, "Oh, Lord.'
 Thinking to rebulSe him for his profan ity, she said;
 "Didn't I hear you call upon the name of the Lord?' l am one of his daughters. Can I ask him anything for you "
 Looking up into her bright, cheerful oountenance, he replied: 1T reckon you can, miss"
 "What Is it you wish?" she asked.
 Raising his eyes to hers. he extended his hand and said: You might ask him to make me his son-in-law."

London Stock Market.

London, May 30.-The stock exchange during the past week sustained its recent cheerfulness under the influence of cheap money and broadening business. Prices continued to move in favor of holders and with the reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount, gilt-edge securi- ties showed substantial rises on the week, consols leading in the improvement, with a point and half. The absence of fresh issues and the announcement that the Transvaal loan would be postponed as- sisted in the betterment, but the chief stimulant was the plethora of money.
 Bankers allow only just over 1 per cent on money. finding better employment for It in the investment of good yielding curities. Foreign bonds and foreign rails got good share of tho business and fully participated in the general advance.
 Kaffirs provided quite a surprise by their continual daily rises under specu- lation as well as investment buying, due primarily to the low level of values and the reduction of working expenses at the mines. Interest in American se- ourities is gradually decreasing.
 Owing to the occasional heavy selling by Wall street business on this side has been left largely to the professionals and after daily irregular movements in sym pathy with Wall street final values are from l to points down the week. An exception is St. Paul. which closed points lower.
 With increasing money supplies and the reduced bank rate bill, brokers furth- CT lowered discounts. Another reduction in the bank rate is now being discussed, the chief argument brought forward being the continued shipments of gold from New York to Europe. This already has caused cheap money fin Paris, and 1t is expected that 1t soon will help to a reduc- tion of the German bank rate of dis count.

Manchester Cloth Market.

Manchester, May 30.-With only half hearted attempts to adjust the differences between low offers and the higher quota tions of manufacturers, business on the cloth market this week was of small di- mensions. Even the restricted outlook failed tb give the necessary stimulus to increase trade. The small turnover consisted principally of light goods and dhooties for India and miscellaneous cloths for the Mediterranean. Yarns ad- vanced i5d with cotton, but business con- tinues poor The enforced stoppage Of spindles in connection with the holidays makes spinners adhere firmly to the high CT quotations.

LA|STER TELLSSTORY
Man Accused of Crime Tells OF
His Folks in Tennessee
Mountains.
CANNOT READ NOR WRITE.

French Laister, who was arrested
Friday evening on charge Of having
assaulted a we'll known Young woman
on North Eleventh street, stoutly de-
nies that he is guilty of the charge.
He states that he has good record.
Laister is native of Tennessee
He states that he cannot read nor
write and that he has been supporting
an invalid father. an aged mother and
some younger brothers and sisters for
the past ten years. Notwithstanding
the fact that he is only twenty years
of age
He says that he came to Richmond
from his mountain home for the pur-
pose Of securing employment and that
he had no sooner set foot in town than
he was arrested on a charge of which
he is absolutely innocent
Laister has been bound over TO the
circuit court and he will probably be
given a hearing the latter part of this
week. He will. no doubt. enter plea
of not guilty and will probably appeal
10 the court TO have the pauper attor
ney defend him
