The Ritual Murder CAGE.

To me Editor of The Times:
After dragging YEARLY along for
nearly two years. jury in kiev. Rus
sia.' has decided that Mendet Belts
was not guilty of the ritual murder
of the Christian" boy, Andrew Yu-
shinsky! No trial in modern times
has attracted so much attention or
awakened so wide an interest In the
civilized world. Almost every intel
ligent person outside Of Russia be-
lieved In the innocence Of Beifis.
The light of modern civilization
was directed to the abuses Of that
land of darkness as never before, and
II from it's searching revelations that
benighted land shall rise to higher
and better things not only will Men
del beilis be freed, but the whole OF
Russia will shake OF the bondage OF
ignorance, superstition and intoler'
ance that have SO long been charac'
teristic Of the car.
The illegitimate Andrew Yushinsky
was the companion OF thieves and
murderers from the first. They were
afraid he would tell what he knew OF
their crimes. hence he had to die. Out

that lesson is, that even in Russia
there are brave and true and capable
men, who dare stand for the right In

even In that land a jury may be
found with courage enough to bring

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans June 2S.--The net results
of the weeks trading in the cotton mar
ket were an advance of to IA points on
the most active months The high prices
were made on Wednesday and the low
prices on Monday. AT the highest the
trading months were to q points over
last weeks close. At the lowest they
were to l2 points under. The rar &c
was 20 to 2S points.
The market had a steady undertone
throughout the week, chiefly because Of
reports of drouthy conditions in several
parts of the belt particularly Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi. Georgia and
Alabama also sent In complaints of lack
of moisture. Bulish sentiment appeared
to be on the increase on the claim that
the crop was not doing as well as II
should. The pending bureau reports on
condition an1 acrea ge had little effect one
way or the other. The strength of the
July position and the ready taking up OF
tenders in both of the American markets
served 70 stimulate buying to some extent
and to regent short selling, AT times
shcrts were nervous over reports that
English traders were heavy buyers of the
side of the Wcter.
In the spot department prices advanced
1-l6c. middling closing at 12ssc. against
u 9-16c last week and i2i4c this week last
year. Sales on the spot amounted to no,
against 749 last week and 6ls this week
last year. Sales 70 arrive amounted to
1922 bales, against 1858 last week and 1903
this week last year.

at an advance of to points on old

July buying orders in hands of local spots
or Liverpool houses started some scat
tered covering of that position. There
were very few sellers around the ring.
and 1t required only a few transactions
to send prices sharply higher. Most of
the buying orders seemed to come from
Wall street sources. Later deliveries were
evidently held back by a favorable view
of crop conditions and sold only 8 or
points above the closing figures of last
night. Reports that the gulf storm was
working inland. causing rain in the south
west were considered a favorable feature
of the days weather news and the week

COTTON GOODS
al TRADE LARGE
No Stimulation of Specula-

All Cleaned Up

New York, June 2S.-Whlle there has
been no incident to stimulate cotton
goods trading in any speculative way the
volume of current business from jobbers
is sufficiently large to keep stocks cleaned
up and prices are very steady. The de-
.nand for goods for export to China
has held up and the movement could be
enlarged considerably if mills were dis
posed TO make price SUGGESTIONS in accord
ance with some substantial bids recently
received A curtailment of production is
going on. due to the unwiTlingness of
manufacturers to make goods except ON
order, pending tariff adjustment.

WEEK END SESSION
IN COTTON QUIET
Tone Holds Steady, Market
Displaying Little Sell
ing Power

New Orleans, June 2S.-The week end
session in the cotton market was quiet
but the tone held steady and the mar
ket displayed very little selling power,
although Liverpool was lower than due
on futures and reported spot sales of only
5000 bales. Fairly good rains were noted
in Texas and the promise seemed to be
for an increase in the rainfall over the
entire belt for Sunday. The most that
bearish influences did was encourage liqui-
dation of long cotton. At no time were
offerings of short cotton in any consid-
erable volume.
The opening was steady points up to
down. compared with the last prices of
yesterday. On the poor cables and the
Improvement in weather conditions over
the cotton region the market went 3 to
points under yesterdays close. This
was the low of the day Reports from
Arkansas that the drouth in that stata
was becoming serious, the detailed wealth.
er reports showing less rain in the belt
as whole than expected, and accounts
of the increase of the boil weevil, par
ticularly in the Mississippi delta, checked
offerings and stimulated a moderate VOL
ume of buying which put prices l to
points over Yesterdays final figures. Tho
market closed steady, unchanged, to Z
points up net.
