ago to such proportion that the re-
4 naming interest is considered COM
! paratively small for the present con-
dition of the market.
There was rally from the low point
of 1890 for May and July late Friday
afternoon to 1896 at the close, with
prices later going up to 14.1O on the
curb
Like the "snIly" Yenr.
The season throughout has been
pretty much repetition in most re-
spects as during the Sully year. It is
believed the bull cliques' present
holdings arc now SO small that the
technical speculative position is much
better than at any time in the last
three months. The large scattered fol-
lowing from the trailars to their opera
tons has been in process of lquida-
tion throughout the week, as they
nave not been able to stand the heavy
losses from the violent fluctuations
and the large margin calls which COM
mission houses have been forced to
make in meeting the sensational mar
ket conditions.
me weeks big break has not added
one bale to the size of the crop, lit
eralsy speaking, and less than 2,5O0,0O1
pales OF the 1903 yield remain to come
forward from plantations and tho un-
counted interior towns, out of the total
crop of 100000 bales actually pro-
duced. Moreover, there is a vast differ
encc between the present price Of 13W
cents for the spring and summer op-
tons and the seasons high price OF

Splnncrs Expected to Buy Freely.
The present basis of prices is attrac-
a n u
ing cotton to buy to cover themselves
on requirements for the balance of the
season. 1t is therefore expected spin
ners in this country and Europe will
now come into the market as heavy
buyers and rapidly absorb all offerings
of spot cotton which may be pressed
for sale on the present basis The de-
cline in the price has been so violent
that the price of spo. cotton in the
southern markets has responded only
to the equivalent of between one-halr
to twothirds of the break. MANY
holders have refused to follow tho mar
kct down and offerings were with
drawn last night and samples taken
off the tables in many of the Southern
exchanges, to be held for higher prices.

in the office most of the day during
which time Mr.. Ward was in con-
sultation in his office with Mr.. Arm
bruster former mayor of this city,
and protector of Mr.. Brooks.
Those statements are all absolute
~ false. Four citizens did call upon
Mr. Ward about 6 O'Clock. Mr.. Arm
bruster had not been in the office for
weeks before that time. and never
has been in Mr.. Wards office more
than three times in his life. Mr.
Ward had an engagement at o'clock
which the citizens who called upon
him knew of, one of them having
heard him make the engagement.
About a quarter past seven and after
he had been held an hour and half
beyond his dinner time, he wrote a
note to the assistant and ordered him
to issue warrant. The statement
that Mr.. Ward refused to issue
warrant is absolutely false. The cit
liens who called for the warrant did
not have evidence Co convict Brooks.
and the evidence that convicted
Brooks was obtained by the office af-
ter Brooks arrest. He was convicted
i'm the justice court and appealed. His
case was set for trial at the next Jury
term. His attorney waived a Jury,
which the Prosecuting Attorney was
poWerless to prevent as he has that
privilege under the law and the case
went over. In June and July the
time of the court was occupied bv
other matters and the case was
crowded out. The months of August
and september are vacation months
and no cases are set for trial except
by consent. The case of Brooks is
taking as it must. the regular course
of appeals in the superior court and
VIII be reached as soon as the court
docket permits.
SiXth-Mr. Shumate states that the
Fifth ward is the only ward in the
city in which Mr. Ward received a
majority. The returns show that he
carried four wards out of the six in
the city. and everyone knows that he
was so bus ~ occupied in preparing
cases for the October jury term of
the superior court that he made alb
solutely no campaign in the city and
that his vote in North Yakima was
given because of the satisfaction of
the entire city, Notwithstanding that
both his opponents made active ard
energetic campaigns. He received a
large majority Of the votes cast in
the city of Sunnyside, which is noted
over the entire county for peace and
love of order and conformity to the
law. According to Mr. Shumate's
logic Mr.. Ward is entirely satisfac-
