Daily News Special.

JACKSON. Miss, March 27.-The
trial of Dan Maybee for the murder of
Sam Reber was resumed this morning
with one seat in the jury box yet to
be filled, and the jury was completed
shortly before noon, after which the
taking of testimony was commenced.
The entire day was devoted to the
case, and the special venire of eighty
men was exhausted and deputies sent
! to summon fifty talesmen shortly aft
ernoon. When this list was exhausted
| there were eleven men accepted by
both sides, and it was nearly 7 o'clock
Judge Potter then ordered the sheriff
to summon ten men to report for Jury
duty this morning.
The eleven selected last night were
locked up under guard by bailffs, and
comfortably tucked away in the Jury
room. They are: w. A. Owen. farm
er; M. T. Dorman, farmer; S. w. Hat
i1eld, bookkeeper; G. H. Stewart tin

occurred during the selection of the
jury one of these was when Mr. A.
Vlrden, a local business man, was be-
Ing examined as to his qualifications
TO sit on the jury. Judge Potter asked
Mr. Virden if he had any prejudice
against Maybee. He replied: "No
more than have against any man who
would leave his wife and take up with
prostitute"
You had no right to say that" said
Judge Potter, and the defense made 2
notion to quash the entire panel of
inc men selected up to that time, on
ne ground that the remark would
rejudice them against the defendant

The other incident was when Attor'
ney Greaves for the defense asked
Judge Potter to have the sheriff per-
sonally summon the ten men to be
used this morning, on the ground that
one of the deputies or bailiffs had
been seen to assist the state in pass
ing upon the qualifications of jurors
The request was therefore granted
and Mr.. Greaves later intimated that
this, too, would be made a point in
theh bill of exceptions in the event
of a conviction.
Although it is learned Maybee has
not lived with his wife for many
months, both his wife and daughter
have been by his side in theh court
room. They have displayed only an
apparently casual interest in the pro-
ceedings, however, and are said to
have been coaxed into attending the
trial at ALL

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Nov. 17.---The stock mar ket sunered today from recurrence of anxiety over the antitrust law and also from the satisfaction of | consid- outstanding snort interests built up in the weeks break in prices. The de vorce of the St. Louie and San Fran cisco from the Rock Island system was accepted as settled fact and this course. attributed to fears of prosecu- ton under the antitrust law, In spite of assertions to the contrary designed to counteract this influence. The re caused caused snosser s of % the suddsn RRs1 ch"Sses of opinion over the chances for the pro. posed Copper merger, which have kept the stock market unsettled all through concentrated to give the impression of coming from important sources.
 The origin of a bear party started in specuiations with operations centerfne n sss1P | s was s.on sss ss .s Of the 6s large selling was attributed to the wealthy capitalists of a speculative habit who are connected with the great the Government suits under the sher- man law. This suspicion of the source of the selling emphasized the appre- hension over the results to follow from the an,i-trnst prosecutions in their of corporations. Reading and the Pa- cinc Railroad stocks shared in the weakness of the Coppers and deter mined the tone of the market. The Rock Island issues themselves were strong. the decision to dispose of the St |, Louis and San Francisco being re. garded as apparently beneficial step. although the taking over of that sys- tenn was made the basis for lively speculative advance at the time in the Rock Island stocks. The favorable Oc- tober net earnings of the Atcilisop served to hold that stock firm also. The bank statement showed substantial loan reduction both by the clearing house institutions and others which served to offset the larger effect that was anticipated Of last Saturdays gold shipments on the cash item. The fn- creasing supplies of commercial paper and the diminished inclination of banks outside New York to absorb these of- ferings are noted as a possible sign of increasing firmness in the money mar ket.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. $2,650.000.

 The cotton market Saturday was a session and nothing doing. There was no particular activity snown by either the bears Or the bulls and con said that the poor Liverpool spot de- mand must be remedied before the bull enthusiasm is renewed. Although very dull. the market closed the week end steady.
 The. local spot cotton market con apart and as the result few trades c the sss sssps aeas rsysd ey i'q s eas ss holders at a trifle under 14 1-2 cents. The shippers made very little inquiry and factors did not push sales.
 The dullness in the local spot mar ket Is due to the fact that holders are asking a little bit more for the staple warehouseman said Saturday that for sale under IS cents and only dis tressed cotton was being sold at pres ent Many of the local planters have given the warehouses instructions not is said that cotton will move very 2 freely when this level Is reached.
 But despite the dull market Mont season. The representatives, of the warehouses paid as much for spots Saturday on the streets of Mont gomery as January futures were ly goo bales of wagon cotton was brought to the Square where prices ranged from l4 1-2 cents to IA s-16 cents. The total receipts into the city amounted to about 633 bales.
 Due to the short crop and the rapid marketing of the staple. the cotton movement from now on into the city Is expected to be very light. The pick Ing throughout this section Is almost over One local planter said Satur- day that s7 per cent of his crop had been picked. On one of his planta- tions he said he made as good crop as last year but on his second place he said he only realized about SO per cent fo last years yield.
 The opening prices of saturdays market were three to four points up for all month. Prices advanced a couple of points and then dipped for q few points during the short ses- sion. The closing figures were three points up to two points under Fridays

 Futures opened quiet and unchanged to one point off on rather disappointing cables First prices were the lowest of the day as moderate buying based on the very light movement started soon after the first call This buying took care of the offerings from weak longs who were liquidating at the week end.

At the highest, the more active deliv- cries were 365 points over yesterdays cios- ing. Bulls would have widened this advance demand was still small. The closing was steady at net advance of 394 points.
 Futures this week show an advance of 2@ 9 points over last weeks closing. At one time prices were about . dollar bale over last weeks closing and at another time they were about dollar bale under. The lessened spot demand encouraged the bears while remarkably small movement aided the bulls. It was a week of small crop estimates and 10.2O0.000 were put out. These were chiefly of interest because of the nearness of the governments estimate of the crop. The long side iiquidated freely toward the last of the week because of extensive selling out during the coming week was feared from the longs who are not strong enough to attempt to carry their cotton over such an important event as the annual government estimate. :.
 In the spot market prices close a quarter on the spot were 2.e5b bales, against 5,525 last week; sales to arrive amounted to 57S bales, against 2,44o last week.
