New York. June 23.-(Special. Gables
this morning were disappointing. with
small spot sales, and as the weather was
cooler In Texas, with few scattered
showers. our market opened quite sharply
lower, with good deal OF pressure In
evidence, play in the fall months, which
were 80 freely bought earlier in the week.
Houses with western connections cold July
rather freely, replacing their sales with
August, the July-August difference mar
rowing as a result to some 35 points.
After the initial decline the liquidation ap-
peared to have run its course, and prices
held very steady slightly below the open
Ing figure. While 1t is obviously impos-
sible for cotton to come here for July in
the volume In which 1t came during May,
the spot houses have been small but
steady sellers of July against cotton dur
ing the last few days.

Private Harrison Wins Medal
and Is Elected Lieutenant

To win a competitive drill for a
medal and to be elected an officer in
the same night rarely falls to the lot
of soldier. Yet It was the fortune
last night of Samuel j. Harrison. of
Company c. First virginia Infantry.
Mr.. Harrison was former second
lieutenant in the Guard OF the Com
monwealth." Last spring he resigned.
because his occupation compelled his
removal from Richmond. He recently
returned TO the city, securing employ
ment, and his love for his old CON-
pany caused him to re-enlist as a
private.
Last night the annual drill for the
company medal took place. The elm
NATIVE process is followed. each man
making a mistake dropping out of
line. Private Harrison proved TO be
the best drilled man, and was given
the medal
Then the election was held for sec
ond lieutenant. Private Harrison was
nominated for his old position. and
was unanimously elected to succeed
himself
This election has been postponed
from time to time by Captain Charles
NJ. Wallace. who Is much pleased with
the satisfactory outcome OF the con
test, which at times has been spirited
between TWO rival candidates.
