MARQUIS SETTLES
SUIT FOR S250,000
Revelations in Breach Of Prom
ise Case IN British Court
Bring Tears to Many Eyes.

LONDON, July 2.-Society that JAM
med the Kings bench division got =
thrill today when Sir Edward Garrison,
counsel for the actress Daisy Mark
ham. in private life Violet Moss. an
nounced that the Marquis Of Northamp-
ton agreed to pay his client $25000o 10
settlement Of her breach Of promise
suit
The plaintiff. therefore. desired to
withdraw the action. Sir Edward said.
and Justice Bucknill made the order.
In explanation Of the settlement. the
lawyer read the last letter that the
marquis. then Earl Compton. wrote
to the actress. It was pathetic and
brought tears to many eyes In the court
room. which was thronged with society
women and stage folk. During the
reading the marquis sat with his head
bowed. flushing painfully and nervously
twisting his hands.
In contrast to his demeanor was that

Real Miserable.
my dearest Daisy" the marquis
letter began. II am 30 wretchedly mis-
erable. I love You and respect you
more than any other woman Ia the
world" Extracts Of the letter follow:
You are absolutely my ideal Of per-
feet womanhood, but the ways Of the
world are hard. and want you to be-
iieye that what am doing u best for
both Of w."
You do not know how these so-called
ladies would treat you. With your

ways be my beautiful dream. God
bless you, darling, and bring you all
the pluck you will need"
The writer signed himself: your
Broken Hearted.
Counsel for the marquis. addressing
the court, said that the defendant did
not deny that an engagement existed
between Miss Markham and himself,
but the late Marquis extracted from his
son q solemn promise that he would not
marry the actress.
Court Approves
Justice Bucknin announced that the
court would fully approve the <25o.ooo
settlement.
The ensaEement Of the then Lord
Compton and Miss Markham was an
open secret gossired both In green
rooms and the West End. The late
Marquis Of Northampton heard Of 1t.
and was furious. He threatened to dis
inherit his son, but seeing that anger
did no good, he appealed b him to give
up the actress.
Apparently his persuasion was sue
cessful. for Compton broke with Miss

SHORT INTEREST IN WHEAT
INCREASED BY THE DECLINE

CHICAGO, July Bear talk predom-
mated in the wheat trade last night,
due to the break in prices, and also to
anticipations of free movement of new
winter wheat from now on, unless pre-
vented by wet weather. II was said that
the local short interest has been in
creased by the decline and that the bulls
were not feeling any too confident. Con.
sentative traders are figuring that hGdG-
ing sales VIII increase from now on,
which will need the help Of InCreaS ID
buying and more crop damage in the
Northwest, to sustain any material ad-
vance above the present level.
Corn traders attributed the break yes
terday to the crowd being long in antici-
patton of hot weather hurting the crop
and bringing in a lot of buying orders
The latter, however. did not appear.
Country operators from different sec
tons of the corn belt said the hot wealth
er here is forcing rapid growth and no
damage has resulted so far. The local
crowd is said to be well out of their
corn and a fair-sized short interest is
created. Bulls urged that on any fur.
Their break corn should be bought"

Awaits Bureau Report,

NEW YORK. July Business was
on a moderate scale at the opening Of
the cotton market to-day. first prices
being unchanged to 5 points lower than
last nights close. The weakness was
chiefly attributed to considerable ner-
vo,ssness over the Balkan situation.
The chief feature of the early dealings
was "straddles" foreign trading, in
which selling and buying was about
evenly divided.
The weather map was very favora Bile,
showing further rains over the western
alf and the greater part of the belt.
No special change in the weather con-
dition is expected BEFORE Thursday.
The Giles condition report of the cot
ton crop was placed at S4.S, compared
with S3.9 two weeks ago. The report
was given very little attention, and fell
fat on the market.
Special reports to The Journal OF
Commerce say prospects are good IN
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The cotton is small, but strong and
vigorous. Rainfall is generally needed
but since the date Of the reports ample
precipitation has occurred. The season
is about two weeks late.
During the forenoon sudden short
covering movement and heavy buying
bv the larger spot houses of July and
August caused the market to develop
a steady tone, resulting in prices recov-
ering the early decline. July advanced
> and August 6 points over the previous
lose. New crops were in less demand
but rallied a few points over the open
ing range.
The volume of business transacted
to-day was really not enough to cause
much nuctuation either way. The
trade is waiting the bureau report OF
Thursday, which is expected to show
more Improvement than private re-
ports The larger spot people again
centered their attention on the old CROP
positions, causing scattered short COW
ering in July August, resulting in the
market closing steady with July show
ing points gain and August II, while
other positions were generally un-
changed from the final quotations OF
Monday.

nAII v COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-The cotton
market opened a little easier, but there
was no pressure to sell and prices soon
rallied. New York now advises that
July freight engagements are for 2I,OOO
bales and that the reduction In stock
might extend the squeeze to August.
Bulls control the situation through
July Miss Giles makes the condition
S4.S to June IS, and NOrden & Co, $50.
The two bureau reports giving acreage
for the year and condition of the crop
June %, will be published Thursday at
II o'clock, our time.
The acreage report is expected to
show about per cent increase and we
compare with a corrected acreage last
wear of 81, 765, 600. and with 36,6S1,000 in
1911 The condition report IS expected
to show around 81, which compares
with 791 on May %, with June cOndi-
ton last year of S0.4, of SS.2 in 1911 and
a ten year average of S0.2.
AS the speculative interest has been
reduced by the recent bull operations
and as traders realize that the market
is at the mercy of leading July opera
tors, it is not thought that the bureau
publications will have much effect
unless their bullishness should surpass
the general expectation. The markets
are dominated by bullish control and
the prevailing intention is to buy on
depressions0 in anticipation Of further
bullish demonstration with July and
possible crop reverses.
