SPEEDY TRIAL OF
 NEGRO IS URGED

Jackson, Miss, May 5.-(Special,) )-W. D. Heslip. member of the legislature from Rankin county, whose home is at Pela- latche, where the negro Will Mack as saulted the daughter of Will Myers, q farmer year ago, was here to see Gov ernor Noel today and urged speedy trial of the negro.
 Governor Noel promised to take the matter up at once and has already writ ten to Judge Byrd, suggesting a special term of the Rankin county circuit coNt. Twenty days notice will have to be given MT. Heslip assured Governor Noel tEere would be no attempt to lynch the pris oner all the people of the county wanted is speedy trial, knowing conviction and execution will follow. He told the gov ernor it made no difference whether troop were sent to guard the negro or not, no objection would be made to that pre- caution.
 Luther Singleterry, aged fl, a Rankin county farmer, fell from his wagon mile from here today and broke his neck. His companion summoned ambulance and got him to the Jackson sanatorium as soon as possible. finding he was not dead. but 1t is not believed his life can be saved though he has lived several hours with his spinal cord broken.

avoided when it stiffened to 61 late in the day
 This belated movement was of consid erable sympathetic effect on the whole list. An advance in prices of refined copper at the metal exchange was an- nounced and there were reports that the selling price had been lifted by the selling agency of the principal producers. Their reports gave figures of sales thus far this month that point ed to a volume of deliveries for May considerably In excess of any month since the present revival set in and well in excess of the prevailing rate Of production. The action of the copper industries in face of these favorable advices was illustrative of the general responsiveness of the whole market to developments. London was a seller of securities here on balance after hav ing been buyer for several days past. In the final dealings there was a gen. eral setback in which Reading, St. Paul and Western Maryland were par ticularly weak. Business left off dull with prices on the down grade.
 Bonds were irregular; total sales, par value, s3, 900.

PRICES OF STOCKS
 ON DOWN GRADE Little inclination Is Shown to
 Boost the Market DECLINE NEAR THE CLOSE Whole Market Is Unresponsive to be- velopments and In the Final Deal ings the Leading Stocks
 Fall Off Rapidly.
DECLINE NEAR THE CLOSE

New York, May 25.-The stock mar ket today did not reflect much inclina- tion to resume active speculation on the part of operators of great importance. The anxiety felt yesterday on account of the nature of some of the estimates of crop conditions in Kansas and neigh boring states was somewhat relieved today owing to more cheerful views of the situation, but this relief failed to revive the stock market. Reports of the beginning of the wheat harvest in Texas alleged fair yield in localities that had been down as a failure of the crop. The weekly bulletin of the wealth CT bureau took a favorable view of the effects of the rains of the last few days, but showed general deficiencies of temperature for the week.
 The small wave of>animation during the first hour, during which some ef- fort to lift prices was made, was fol- lowed by lapse into torpid conditions which promised the dullest day for many weeks. The threat thus conveyed of an approaching period of lethargy in the speculation had a discouraging ef- feet on some holders who were look ing for a prompt advance. Liquidation of some importance in one or two of the principal stocks was attributed to this motive There were several in stances of a sudden relapse in the price of specialties not of the first rank, which have been pushed forward into unwonted prominence in the recent past. In one instance this was ac- companied by announcement of the con- clusion of bond sale by the company The inference was suggested that sup port was being withdrawn from some stocks of this class and that advance had been brought about to facilitate needed financing.
 There was traceable some influence for depression in the news of the progress of the strike on the Georgia railroad and the dimensions which the trouble was taking on. Some interest attached to the inspired announcement that J. P. Morgan x Company had withdrawn from connection with tho proposed merger of number of smaller fertilizer companies in the south. That project had constituted the basis for some speculation in a number of se- curities concerned and they felt the ef- feet of the abandonment. The early drop in United States Steel threatened an interruption of the daily succession of new record prices which that securi- ty has been making, but this was

 COTTON MARKET Prices Open Firm on Reports

ADVANCE IS VERY SHARP

New York, May 25.-The cotton market tone was generally firm today, and while the close was barely steady, the closing bids showed a net advance of 4 to 8 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of to 1S points higher on favorable cables and reports of rains in the central belt. Realizing for over the approaching holidays and the June bureau was heavy at the initial advance, while it seemed that the leading spot interests who were taking up cotton on May contracts were selling July These offerings soon eased prices off, but after July had sold at Il Csc and December at 10 SSc or within points within last nights close on the summer months, and or points off from the top on the later positions the mar ket firmed up on the detailed rain re- ports from the Mississippi valley and Ok lahoma. Trading became more active with the advance, the south and Chicago being persistent buyers.
 New crop positions led the advance, and it looked as though bulls who had taken profits toward the close of last week were fe-enleTlnS the market on 1ears or crop damage in eastern and central sec- tions, and an idea that the June bureau influence had been er-discounted.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed were unchanged to 1-l6c higher.

Jackson, Miss, May 25.-(Special)-W. B. Parke of Merigold, Bolivar county. about 100 miles north of vicksburg, sends Commissioner of Agriculture BlalSeslee a box containing samples of bugs or tn- sects, his idea being that they are the Mexican boil weevil The Bolivar bug seems to be first cousin to the boil weevil He has the shape. the color, the legs and everything incident to the well- formed and genuine Mexican bug, but he has attachments on the tip end of his snout that are not found on the gem nine bug-such as have already begun to work on the cotton fields in the south western portion of the state and the com missioner will advise him yhat the sample sent is harmless, so far as he knows.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York May 25.-HeavN rains throughout the cotton belt east of Texas yesterday and today brought about a quick recovery from the depression of yesterday morning to almost the best prices of the season. This advance natur- ally invited profit-taldng, which in the last hour brought about a reaction. A feature of the market was the liquidation in July where many of the outsiders were transferring their long interest to dis tant deliveries at a discount because of the large amount of cotton coming here for delivery on May. With the approach of the holidays here and abroad feel ing of conservatism found expression in the desire to reduce commitments, but the opinion was freely expressed that the eastern southern states were receiving too much rain. Liverpool should come l to points lower in the morning.

New York, May 25.-The market for cof- fee futures opened steady at unchanged prices and was maintained during the early session by support of May and the steadness of the French cables.

New Orleans, May 25.-Spot cotton firm, unchanged; middling 107sc. Sales on the spot 1250 bales; to arrive 800.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of s to points on rains in the central portions of the cotton belt over night. Cables were much more favorable than expected and they stimulated buying un- til the active months were to F points over the level of yesterdays closing. Around the middle of the day and in the afternoon sessions bears were aggressive and they succeeded in destroying the best part of the advance. At times July was weak and it was sent, at the lowest. points below yesterdays closing. This was due to heavy margin calls by a prominent house. The close was easy with July standing at a net decline of points and the later months at a net advance of 1 to points.
