New orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 2.-Cotton futures orened quiet at a decline of 1 to points on continued rains in Texas. Cables were about as expected. After the call offer inys increased from the traders, who were going short on better weather conditions in the western cotton belt generally, and prices fell off until .he more active months, both old and new crops, were to points down. At the end of the first half hour of trading some little weekend proflt-taking by shorts was met and prices recovered to within 1 or points of the level of yesterdays closing.
 The recovery at the middle of the morn ing attracted fresh short selling based on tne weather forecast of unsettled weather in the western cotton belt over Saturday and prices fell off until they were 12 to II points under yesterdays closing. When inc selling was at its height the market acted somewhat oversold. and toward noon A steadier feeling grew as the result of rather an extensive covering move ment by bears, who were afraid to carry their lines intact over the week end. The closing was steady at a net decline of 4 to points.

New York, April 2.-(Special)-At the decline this morning there was a de- rran6 which absorbed the liquidation brought about by the rains In Texas dur ing the past two days This demand was sufficient to absorb the offerings and close the market at an advance over Inst evening for the summer deliveries. It will be based on the belief that these prices represented basis on which pur- chases could be made With the prospect of an improvement in the demand from Europe, answering our local traders, however the feeling continues bearish because they consider the recent rains in Texas have deprived the market of the support due to the fear of drought.

Wholesale Jail Delivery.

Marion.-Led by Charles Jones, a desperate negro murderer, twelve pris- oners made their escape from the jail here and went down the lake into the swamps. Ten of the escapes are negroes and two are white men, but Jones is the only important prisoner
 The men sawed out of their cells and broke through the brick wall Sheriff Lewis kept a negro watehman at the jail, but the watchman was asleep. He woke up as the last man got through the hole. By the time he got to Sheriff Lewis house and raised the alarm the prisoners had disappeared.
 Sheriff Lewis organized a posse of twenty-five men and sent to Earle for bloodhounds. The dogs did not get here before midnight, and in the mean while the man hunt went on on both sides of the lake,
 Jones assassinated A. H. Ferguson, an aged merchant, in his store here De- cember 9. The crime was most revolt ing in nature. A mob formed to lynch the negro, but the sheriff took his pris- oner to Memphis for safe keeping, bringing him back here after the ex- citement had subsided.
