FINNEY DECIDES TO SIT.
Alexandria County Police Judge
Goes Back on Bench.

Judge r. Gordon Finney Of the Alex
andria county police court, who resigned
ten days ago because the Virginia attor-
ney general had given an opinion that the
law creating the place was unconstitu-
tional and the occupant could not be paid.
has agreed to reconsider his resignation
and the court will resume its sessions.
The reconsideration was upon the re-
quest of Judge Thornton of the Circuit
court at the opening Of the December ses-
sion yesterday. He assured Mr.. Finney
that a way would be found to bring the
question of the constitutionality Of the
law to an early test SO that the salary
allowance could be made. 1t Is under
stood that one of the officers OF the court
will refuse to obey Judge Finney's orders
and the matter will be taken to the court
of appeals at Richmond on a contempt
case made up from the technical disobe-
dience.
Judge Finney has been serving for some
months, but the refusal to pay his salary
came up first last month.

COTTON MARKET IS
 MUCH MORE ACTIVE
Prices Advanced Sharply on Trade Buying-Close
 Steady at Net Gain

New York, June 6--The cotton market was very much more active today and prices advanced sharply on continued trade buying and covering by recent sell CTS. The close was very steady at net gain of from 20 to 26 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of from to points in sympathy with rel atively steady cables. Generally speaking, favorable view appeared to be taken of the weather map, and advices from prominent travelling crop expert were re- ceived shortly after the opening to the effect that tho crop as a whole had stead- ily improved for the past month, but prices continued to work higher. and the market toward midday became rather ex- cited.
 There did not seem to be any change in the general character of the news, but recent sellers were said to be uneasy. and there was active buying by uptown and Wall street interests. who were sup posed to be covering cotton sold before the publication of the bureau report. There was also support from trade interests. and while slight recessions occurred from Niiilt tO lliht Nlc btHtldi ltHuent9 ol lne market was upward, until in the late trad ing active months were selling from 22 to 2 points net higher. Closing prices were within 2 or points of the best.
 There was some talk of excessive rain in the eastern belt, and that rains were needed in parts of the western belt, and with the official forecast for continued unsettled weather east of the Mississippi | river, this may have contributed some- what to the buying movement. Judging l from the gossip around the street, how ever. the advance was more generally at- ! tributed to covering by shorts, who found that their sales had lodged in the hands | of trade interests or other strong holders | Reports of better spot demand and the larger sales reported in some of the south 1 ern markets were probably a factor on the ] late advance, and the disposition of shorts
 to cover was partly attributed to the fall
 uro of the market to weaken under the recent favorable weather and crop ad- vices.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, June G.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of 1 to 4 points on good cables and rains in the delta. Crop advices were favorable on the whole. Shorts. however. were ner- vous because of their fear that rains would stop work in the fields and their covering more than offset any offerings encouraged by bearlshness of crop reports from the belt The weather forecast was mixed but on the whole promised con- siderable rain in the eastern half of the cotton delta. This further steadied the list. At the end of the first half hour prices were 5 to points up.
 Great steadiness was developed around noon on reports from Texas that rain was needed. There were reports of too much moisture in the Atlantic states A better spot demand developed Shorts bought steadily throughout the early ses- sion.
 Longs bought freely also. On limited offerings the trade met the inquiry Prices gradually worked upward until July sold at Il .92c. At this level scaping longs took profits and checked the upward move ment At noon however. prices were at their best of the morning or 19ll20 points upward.
 In the afternoon the list was steady. A fresh demand from the long side sprang

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. June -(Special.)-T feature of the market has been the buying by the same interests that bought so freely before the bureau re- port was issued. This demand ab- sorbed all of the offerings from the south. who are disposed to regard the | advance as premature in the face of what appears to them to be improving crop conditions.
 Our local traders were quite pre- pared 10 encourage the advance as they have felt for some time that any de- cline would be only of a temporary na- ture, as they expect the present im- provement in crop conditions to be lost on bad weather of some kind before tho season is over.
 During the afternoon the same buy Ing continued. The market closed within a few points of the best. Liver pool is due 6 to T points up in the morning.
