New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, July 3.-Cotton futures opened quiet and steady at decline of to 10 points on poor cables. Light show CTS in the west on the weather map and private reports of showers over Sunday in both Texas and Oklahoma gave the market rather & soft tone but the bears were not aggressive or inclined to press their advantage The general expecta- ton was for bearish condition figures from the government, but there was little sell ing on this expectation. At the end of the first half hour of business the list was to points below Saturdays close.
 Around the middle of the morning sell inc orders increased and the more ac- tive months were put to 12 points un- der Saturdays close. As the time of the bureau report drew near scalpinG shorts took profits and this steadied the mar ket and brought about a reaction. At II o'clock the most active months were points under Saturday. On the con dition figures of SS.2, which were lower by about point than expected. there was a quick rise of 12 points on both October and December On the advance offerings become very heavy and 1t was rumored around the ring that bulls were large sellers. Offerings were heavy enough to check the advance and cause a decided reactiom and noon the active months were l point over Saturday s close. July was inactive and August at tracted little attention.

in the alleged love affairs Of the late Col
onel George Earl Church. the noted Amer

Colonel Church died in London on Janu-
airy g. 1910. According to the case pre-
sented by the attorneys for Mrs. Salmon,
the colonel met her and her invalid hus-
band ON the continent and promised to
marry her when her husband died. When
Salmon passed away, however, Church
married another woman. on the latters
demise 1t was alleged. the colonel renewed
his promise OF marriage. but failed to
make il good. Subsequently the plaintiff
agreed 10 accept an annuity in compensa-
ton for her disappointment. Mrs Salmon
testified that she received the annuity for
eleven years, but when Church died the
executors Of his estate refused to recog-
Mise the alleged agreement.
The prosecution further asserted that
the coloners will provided for payments OF
$4,000 to each OF three women, the wives
of foreigners, whom Church had met on
the continent, but Mrs. Salmon's name
was omitted from the list of beneficiaries
Colonel Church was native of New
Bedford. Mass. He was a member Of the
Royal Geographical society. being the only
person not an English citizen, to be so
honored.
