STOCKS STILL PURG|AG
FELL WITH GREATER
PRECIPITATION THAN AT ANY
PREVIOUS TIME IN PRESENT
MOVEMENT-BONDS DECLINED
IN SYMPATHY.
fBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Aug. with practically no
cessation the stock market continued its
purging process today. Prices fell with
greater precipitation than at any previous
time in the present movement and losses
increased until they ran from - to 20
points compared with fortnight back. in
shares which for years have ranked among
the certain dividend payers. As has been
the case for days past, Union Pacific was
again the weakest stock. opening with the
greatest loss and yielding over four points
in the first thirty minutes. The selling OF
this stock. which amounted to 102.OOU
shares in the first hour, was most persist
ent and gave rise to a variety OF rumors
which dealt in part with houses of inter
national fame as we'll as with concerns
and individuals of far less Importance.
There were no known developments over
night to which the renewed selling nigh,
be attributed, but the retirement of Mr..
Frick from the Hartman directorates was
again referred to as an Indication of the
attitude of the substantial interests. Added
to this the market at no time today reflected
any degree Of support, even though prices
touched a level which might seem attrac-
tive to investors.
The market rallied @ery generally from
its low plane before che end of the first
hour, but this was followed by another
movement in Union Pacific which sent
that stock lower than before At that
level buying orders again lifted the list
until some issues, notably e.. S. Steel vert
a aoGve fh of Ie'iies Gim dnyh fi1 nepeeptib bne
and the list for the first time bore signs
of betterment.
The feature of the bank statement was
actual decrease in loans Of over COG,
while the cash gain of about $1,000, 600 was
with popular estimates. Reserves increased
almost 100000. The loan contraction
which was slightly larger in the average
statement, probably represents in a meas,
ure the drastic liquidation In stocks.
Bonds declined in sympathy with the
stock market. Total sales (par value) ST.

United States Government bonds were
unchan ged on call.
Total sales of Stocks for the day were
651 100 shares, including: Sugar 100; To

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans. Aug. 12-Cotton futures
opened barely steady at a loss of 4 to 10
points on unfavorable cables. The close
was steady at a net advance of 4 to s
points. The initial decline would have
been wider in response to the slump in
Liverpool but for the gulf storm that APP
peared to be working into the heart of
the cotton belt and doing more or less
damage to the crop. Just before tne mar
ket opened a storm warning was issued
for the Louisiana coast and for southern
mississippi. This stimulated buying to
cover shorts over the week end. The
weather map was not called favorable as
Texas and Oklahoma both looked dry and
hot. AT the end of the first half hour of
business prices were Z to s points under
yesterdays close.

(By the Associated Press
New York, Aug. 12.-An early decline in
the cotton market today was followed by
a sharp rally on covering and bull Slp-
port with the close very steady, net >
points lower to 4 points higher. The open
ing was steady at q decline of 1914 points
and during the first few moments the
market showed q net loss of 9m15 points
under liquidation and bear pressure en-
couraged by the weak showing of Liver
pool reports that many Manchester mills
were closing as a result of the labor trou-
bic, talk OF increasing domestic mill cur
tailment, private wires reporting scattered
showers and lower temperatures in the
Southwest and weakness in the stock mar
ket. The break to II cents for October
and 1898 for January carried the market
into the lowest ground reported since the
first big rally Of last week, and there was
active covering for over the week end. APP
prehensiOnS Of a gulf storm, based on the
approach of a lower off the
coast accompanied by a heavy rain at
Pensacola, undoubtedly contributed to the
uneasiness Of the short interests as the
market worked higher following a rumor
that the National Ginners' Association
made the condition of the crop SO per cent
and indicated a deterioration of - per
cent in the Texas outlook since the gov
eminent figures were made up toward the
end of last month. August sold up to a
net advance Of 9 points while new crop
deliveries showed gains of from 1 to 3
points. Subsequent foundations were more
or less irregular, but shorts sold to prefer
prOft-taking to carry their interest over
Sunday in view of the weather uncertain
ties and the talk of less favorable condi-
ton figures, and the close was only 2 or
8 points off from the best.
Private cables from Liverpool said that
the market there had been influenced by
yesterdays late weakness on this side and
a more serious view of the strike situation.
Fail River curtailments for the week was
estimated at 10000 pieces.
Receipts Of cotton at the ports today
6,OOO bales, against 1912 last week, and
4,S73 last year. For the week 5000 bales,
against 20,2G6 last week, and 1880 last
year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 366
bales, against 275 last year, and at Hous-
ton 5 $50 bales, against 4,741 last year.

My Dear Sir: It is with much
pleasure that | acknowledge receipt
OF your note of commentator of
4th inst, relative to defending your
good name. [ believe you do appre-
ciate a loyal friend when you lay
down your work to write note like
that with your own hand.
lay no especial claim to courage
but when some people try to dis
credit you [ will not pass it unno-
ticed. When l see how consecrated
and unselfish you are in your work
for the common people of this coun-
try, it moves me to a duty which 1
can and will perform, and that is to
defend your good name, at home,
abroad, anywhere
Thousands of people admire and
love you, but they just hate to Gown
up" They slip around and read
everything you write The Catho-
ics do, the Missionaries do, and the
Mormons, except the illiterates, will
soon be doing it. On account Of the
underhand way F. L. Seeley tried to
ruin you last summer for Hoke
Smith it was a genuine pleasure for
me to tell the representatives Of The
Georgian: 81 would have none of
them nor their wares in my home;
that | stood for principle, justice,
and Mr.. Tom Watson" Il had stop
ped the Georgian some time before
this.)
1t has been our purpose to be
at Thomson on the 4th Of July, my
self and wife, if possible Hope to
meet you there as we have never had
that pleasure before.
Yours truly,

SERVED HIM RIGHT.

Dear Mr. Watson: You remember
when you spoke at Deepstep last,
that q young man kept talking and
disturbing you while speaking? My
brother, J. G. Giles put the case be-
fore the grand jury and got true
bill for more than one case. Hard
wick took his case. Hardwick went
to J. G. Giles and asked if he would
let Green off if he would plead guilty
for one case. j. G. told him he
would, and told Hardwick he just
wanted to show Green he could not
come to Deepstep and do as he
pleased and get off by being a Hard
wick man. Green, the Hardwick
man, got Off at $50 and cost Of court.
Your friend,
J. A. GILES.
P. S.-There will be a good crowd
from Deepstep On the Fourth.

A NEW ATTRACTION.

You may see something new in the
circus this year. A new animal has
come to America. 1t is a cantchill.
If you should see it you might think
that somebody had had a lot OF pieces
Of toy animals and in default Of some
thing better to do had made them in
to one whole animal. The catchill is
as large as fox terrier puppy that is
just learning to walk straight It
is white, loks rather like rabbit and
has deer's head without the antlers
and deer's hoofs. 1t really is q sort
Of deer, and it comes from Australia.

before he and all Of his class will be
in line with the rest of the right
thinking people. And in the near
future when such servants as Hoke
and others come before the people
they will be put down and out, to
stay down and out.
May the time speedily come. And.
Mr.. Watson, may your life be long
yet and continue to be serviceable
in the fight you have been so long
engaged in for your country and
your fellowman.
l take both the Jeffs, and don't
know how [ could do without them.
May Heavens brightest smiles con-
tinue upon you.
Yours for the right,

GETS SOMETHING GOOD
OUT OF THE JEFIS.

My Dear Sir: I am a reader Of the
Jeffersonian and would not DO with
out it for anything. l get something
out Of it that is good, that stimulates
my nerves and cheers me along the
way.
[ would to God that our country
was full Of Tom Watsons Let her
roll, Tom. You won't be hurt. You
have all the good men at your back.
Hit the scamps, Tom. Let them
know the people are getting sick and
tired Of rings. What about the old
soldiers home? Have you cleaned
it up yet? If not, roast them. [
do hope and pray to God that our
country will be cleaned up in Tom
Watson's lifetime; but if it is not,
his influence will live forever. What
about that Mormon wolf? If l did
not have more sense than to be a
Mormon | would have more sense
than to jump on Tom Watson. I
consider that man pretty weak in
the head. P. A. COFER.

Taft and Roman Catholicism are
now ruling this once free America,
aided by trusts and combines, backed
by the supreme judiciary.
Let us lay aside all party preju-
dice and come together as one peo-

official green in high places. Omitted
we stand; divided we fall" and
great will be the fall
