GOT SUITS TO PRESS
OND KEPT THEM.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 2S.-Charlie
Carr, proprietor of a pressing club,
who has been robbing his customers
right and left by many and devious
schemes, was arrested by the police
today. He was fined $25. Carr rep
resented to a number of business
men that he would press their clothes
for half the price charged by other
shops in the city, and once he got his
hands on a suit the customer never
saw it again. He operated under .
dozen names, and never operated one
shop more than a week.

and temperatures continued high. The

market an easy undertone, which 1t main

Dry and hot weather was the main IN.
fuence In the market here this week, and
1t caused the new crop months to close q
to 30 points over last weeks close. The
other crops were not as strong and closed
at q net decline Of 2 to 4 points.
The high prices OF the week were made
Wednesday, and the low prices Thursday
on the old crop and Tuesday on new.
At the highest the list was 18 to 40 points

the old crops were to Is points under
that level. and the new crops were IL
to IL points over. Prices ranged over
27 to 81 points.
Little else but the weather was talked
of this week. The market acted little
long at times and reports of showers in
the Atlantic states around the middle
of the week caused q reaction. The
consensus Of opinion on the week end
however. was that the crop was deterior-
ating under drought and abnormally high
temperatures.

from that belt indicated that tho plant

dry weather. At the same time. even

It was the general opinion that heavy
rains would put the crop in excellent
shape. The needed rains. however, did
not materialixe. On the week end. the
effect Of dry weather and forecast point
ing to continued dry weather over sun
day was offset by the report Of the flrst
bale Of new cotton Of the season. The
effect on prices OF this first bale was
chiefly sentimental. In the spot market

The testimony Of Judge Gary before

ton In Wall street. He has not said
anything to occasion particular surprise.

doubts as to the wisdom Of his policy

body is prepared to admit that In the role
he has adopted he is a shining success.
1t is noticed. however, that there are
many delicate points concerning the busi-
ness OF the steel trust about which he
does not volunteer information. Doubt
less the committee will be able to get at
all the inside facts IL it inserts the probe
with intelligence and an earnest desire
to find outfit not from Mr.. Gary, then
from other witnesses.
For instance, 1t would greatly interest
the public to be enlightened as to the
inner financial workings OF the trust. 1t
would take It kindly IL the committee
should ask for details about the banking

$3.50 OOO, 600; where it is kept deposited
and what insiders. II any, are favored

trust deposits are kept. 1t has long been
charged in the street. and never proved,
that the market manipulation in steel
