COTTON MARKETS.

New York. June e-There was sensa-
tional advance In the old crop months to-
day as result of urgent covering. whiie
there appeared to be few sellers outside of
the big bull traders. New crop positions re-
sponded rather slowly TO the near mohtn
strength. but the tone of the marker was
firm at the close and last prices showed
gain of from 5d2s points for the day. The
market opened steady al an advance OF
points to "a decline of points, the old crop
being higher on covering, while the new crcp
reflected disappointing cables and favorabte
weather conditions In tho South. AT hrst
there was some little irregularty, with local
operators showing disposition to sell on
Liverpool cables, but shortly after the OPEN
ing near shorts became urgent buyers and
the market became active and excited. Be
fore the advance was checked July con-
tracts had sold at 1910 or 40 points above
the closing figures of Saturday While August
had sold at 1850. or 30 points net higher.
The new crop meanwhile had sympathetic
advance OF from l0G11 points, but the buy
ing Of these positions were restricted by the
good weather and reports of a further i'm
proyement in tho condition of tho crop. The
demand from shorts became less urgent
during the afternoon. and prices sasged on
from the best under realizing, Southern
selling and local bear pressure, bis: after
reacting to about 1901 for July, hrmed up
again on renewed covering and bull support.
July closed at LOGS and August at l4.50 or
within l0dl2 points of the top. Liverpool
was a big buyer of July and August mere,
presumably 10 undo straddies, but the chief
demand seemed 10 come from wan street
shorts.
The strength of July naturally revived the
rumors OF an end-season squeeze, and all
sorts OF estimates were circulating in the
trade as 10 the size of the short interest in
July and August. 1t seems 10 be the i'm :
preston that whatever the size OF the inter-
est II is of more speculative character.
Southern spots were unchanged to &c high

Popular Young Man of Leon Died
Suddenly at the Home of His
Parents Sunday Evening.

Samuel j. Allen died quite sud
denly at the home of his parents in
this city Sunday evening about 5
o'clock. He was up town the previ-
Gus day apparently in good health,
but Sunday morning complained of
not feeling well, and laid around the
house. In the evening his parents
wanted to get him something to eat,
and he finally said he would like to
have dish of cherries, so Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen went to the home of Ell
mer Harris nearby where they kept
their fruit in the cellar and got a
can, being gone from the house but
few minutes, and when they re-
turned Sam was gasping for breath
and died in few minutes, the
physician ascribing his death to
heart failure.
The deceased was the only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James w. Allen, of this
city, and was born in Buckingham
county, Virginia, June 12, 1875, be-
ing "a years, months and 10 days
old. He came to Leon with his par
ents in 1892, and learned the tin
Bros, where he has worked num-
Der of years. He was quiet, unas-
suming young man who had many
friends to mourn his untimely death.
Besides his parents he is survived
by two sisters, Mrs. Vivian Richard
son, of Buckingham, Virginia, and
Mrs. Iona Drury, of Santiago, Cali
fornia
Funeral services were held from
the family home Tuesday afternoon

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1910-01-06
ABSOLUTELY FALSE REPORT.
Some One has Started the Report
That We Have Traded off our
Stock and will Leave Leon,
but We are Here to Stay,
and the Report is Err
rOneOuS.

When we came up town today a
report was spread around town that
we had traded off our stock of mer-
chandise and were going to leave
Leon, and in justice to ourselves and
many patrons we feel it necessary
to publish this statement in the way
of an announcemnt that we have no
intention of trading or never had.
In fact, we would be very foolish to
think of such a thing when we are
enjoying one of the largest business
of any firm our size in the state of
Iowa. We give credence to such a
report only that some knockers who
would rather see us out of Leon than
in it, started this report with the
hope OF doing us an injury. We are
live ones and expect to have in op-
Grafton by Jan. Goth, another store
in another town. Who is it that
would not grow if they could? Just
so with us. Our business has been so
satisfactory, and as we have large
stock on hand we are therefore open
ing up another store, but at just
which town we have not decided on.
Another thing we want to say is that
we have long time lease on our
building in Leon, and the Bradley
Wasson Nero. Co. will continue here
for years, as it has in the past, CIV
ing the people good merchandise at
low prices and stand ready to assist
and aid in every way every enter
prise that is due Leon and Leon citi-
zens, and we do not thank Mr..
Knocker at all who has tried to do
us an injury. Thanking you for past
favors and assuring you that we are
here to stay, and will have in Leon
one of the most modern stores in
this state, we are Respectfully,
Bradley-Wasson Nero. Co.
