BANK CASHIER
 KILLS HIMSELF

Tarboro, N. C., June 15.-Cashier Luther V. Hart of the Bank of Tarboro Is dead. and Assistant Cashier E. B. Hussey Is in jail, charged with complicity in the mis- appropriation of $50,OO0 in bank funds, as result of a visit to the bank today by State Bank Examiner J. K. Dough- ton. Hart died from a self-inflicted pis- tol wound and the exposure of Hussey followed when bank officials and Exam if,er Doughton made a hasty investiga- ton of the bank books.
 This morning Examiner Doughton called at the bank for the purpose of making his regular inspection of the affairs of the institution. The examination was deferred until afternoon and Hart re- mained at his post until the regular din- ner hour. Going home for dianer he went directly to his room and a few minutes later his wife was startled by the report of a pistol Rushing to the room she found Hart lying across the bed with a bullet hole through his head. He died two hours later without having regained consciousness.
 Following the exposure the affairs of the bank were placed in charge of state officials and they immediately closed it's doors pending further investigation. The institution had a rating of s25,000 and was capitalized at $20000. Its deposits aggregate more than $200000.

COTTON TAXES
 ASHARP BREAK Active Liquidation Follows Reports of Rain in the
 Southwest

New York, June 15.-Reports of rain in the southwest were followed by even more general and active liquidation than yesterday in the cotton market today and prices broke very sharply with the close steady, but net loss of from 12 to 26 points.
 The opening was steady at a decline of to 14 points in response to pri- vate rain reports from Texas and lower cables. There was good buying by lead Ing bull brokers on the decline but of
 ferings were too heavy to be absorbed except on scale downward and while a slight rally followed the western belt forecast which held out no definite promise of further showers in Texas, the market soon weakened again and, in the late forenoon, showed a net loss of from 27 to 32 points on the old crop and of 19 points !on new crop po- sitions.
 Trading in the old crop months was not active but July led the decline in the absence of support, selling at 15.20c or 32 points under the closing figures of last night and 93 points below the high record of the season.
 New crop deliveries were very active and excited on the break which carried October contracts off to 13.S4c, or 4J points below the high price of the earl fer week, but it was thought that the heavy selling and stop loss orders, re- sponsible for the sharp decline, had considerably helped the technical posi- ton and following the official weathe CT details showing only light showers at six or seven stations in Texas the mar ket rallied 12 or 13 points from the low est on covering of shorts and renewed support from the bull leaders.
 The undertone remained very ner- vous, however, and fluctuations in the late trading were irregular with prices failing to hold advances owing to pri- vate. reports of further rains in the Fort Worth district and in Oklahoma. The close was only 6 or points up from the lowest. Wall street was a heavy seller during the day presumably for both accounts. The south was also seller here and about the only de- mand aside from covering the recent sellers was that from the prominent bull brokers and trade interests who seemed to feel that the rains so far re- ported had been insufficient to perma- nently relieve the drouth.
 Receipts at the ports today, 1860 bales against 1746 last week and 5071 last year. For the week, 15,000 bales against 20,O09 last week and 24,545 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans 956 bales against 2873 last year, and at Houtson, 99 bales against 10s last year,

Despite the fact that there has been q constant and strong demand for fresh eggs for a month or more past the merchants of Morris avenue have been unable to make disposition of ship ments fast enough to prevent an. over supply. While the accumulation Is not exceptionally large, yet the hot weather such as we have been having will soon have its effect If the eggs are per mitted to remain long on the market without being stored in cold storage rooms. Seventeen cents is the pre- valent quotation. The demand for fowl gradually increases. Only a limited supply was to be seen on the avenue Thursday but several shipments are expected to arrive early this morning Fryers and broilers are offered at 20 and 30 cents per pound
 Sundry shipments of vegetables were received Thursday. although the ship ments were too small to be of much consequence.
