Chief of Police J. L. Beavers. while
refusing to be quoted in an interview
shis afternoon, tacitly admitted that he

Attorney Mayson that any of the NOV
Ing picture shows which attempt to
bpegate tomorrow and charge admis-

The mayor said late this afternoon

violation of law. He said that the

that the sufferers from the great dis

contributed. Actually. he said, there
WAS no charge, and any one who want
ID to 20 in without paying could do so.
The mayor had issued permits to the
moving picture houses containing this
sentence;
The owners of this theater have
agreed that for the privilege Of making

The permits instructed the chief to

The chief read the permit asked City
Attorney Mayson for a ruling, was in

Attorney Mayson held that the thea

that all of the theater managers heo

Woodward to-day to operate to-mor-

The city attorney held that the cir

rothing to do with the legality Of the
Sunday opening combined with the
charging of admission.
Neither the mayors permit nor the
fact that the proceeds are to be given
10 charity have anything to do with
the matter. he declared Chief Beavers

New Orleans, July 25.-The< cotton mar
ket was nervous today, with more or less
irregularity in fluctuations which were
broad in August and rather narrow in new
crop months. Weather conditions over
the belt were decidedly improved. but the
bear side was unable to derive much ben
eft from the change, apparently because
the trade was not altogether satisfied that
a bulllsh condition reportffrom the month
ending today would not be issued next
week In the old crops very little business
was done and trades were generally for
the purpose of liquidation.
The market opened steady, points up
to 4 points down. Cables were about as
due, but moderate selling was encouraged
by the favorable weather map, which in-
dcated that much rain had fallen in the
belt and had even extended to the drouthy
regions of Texas In the early trading
prices went points under yesterdays

to Yesterdays closing level on the new

IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE STOCK MARKET
Leading Issues and Special
ties Score Advances of

New YORK, July 25.-what promised to
be the most comprehensive movement in
the local stock market since the abnor-
NAL dullness of the early summer was
witnessed today, when leading issues and
specalties scored advances of / to {
points. The rise followed four days Of
more or less steady advance. The results
OF today's operations, the largest for
some time, partly justified the belief that
important interests are not unfriendly TO
an upward movement.
Factors that contributed to the mar
kets improvement included higher prices
for copper, a favorable German bank
statement, an advance in French rentes.
a prospective large local cash gain for
the week, good Union Pacific earnings,
further case in time money accommoda-
tions and more favorable crop advices. Ii
Is understood that the Bank of England

gold holdings by s200Oo,oo0, bringing its
holdings to almost record breaking fig

In the face of this favorable budget
Wall street was little inclined to pay heed
TO reports of new antitrust policy ty
Washington or the spread of the strike in

Tor granted that todays developments in
the affairs of the New Haven road must
be to the advantage of that system. Not
few gains were cancelled in the final
dealings, with marked weakness in Cana

WHEAT PRICES GIVE
WAY UNDER SELLING
Improved Reports Concern
ing Crop-Closing Prices
Steady at Decline

Chicago. July 25.-Wheat prices cave
way today under selling due largely to i'm
proved reports concerning the spring
crop. Closing prices were steady at a de-
cline of l5G5sc to Sale net. other leading
staples, too, all showed decline-corn,
lsc to sac; oats, 14a24c, and provisions
&c to 30c
Bear pressure on wheat came chiefly
from professional speculative sources.
Leading experts touring in the northwest
had enlarged their estimates of the prob
able yield and sent dispatches calling at
tention to the heavy filing of heads and
asserting that the quality would undoubt-
edly be high. The weather in that Sec
ton was represented as perfect.
Troubles on the bull side of the wheat
market were emphasized by advices that
crop and weather conditions in France
and Russia had changed for the better.
On the resulting decline, considerable
amount of export business was done, but
prices displayed no power to rally to any
important extent.
Primary receipts of wheat were large
2,2l4,000 bushels, against 1892 900 bushels a
year ago. Seaboard clearances of wheat
and -four equalled $4,000 bushels
Argentine shipments ON gigantic scale
tended to weaken the corn market Flat
tering crop reports from Iowa counted also
in favor of the bears
oats declined owing to selling on the
part of the cash and elevator concerns
that expect to do the handling of much of
the new grain.
Longs, including a prominent packer,
unloaded holding of provisions. About the
only support for hog products came from
pit traders who had been previous sellers.
