George II. Robinson Wins in Bald
win Locomotive Works Case.

George II. Robinson. plaintiff in a
breach of contract suit against Alba Il.
Johnson, growing out of the sale of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works to synd-
cate composed Of White, Weld & Co. of
this city and Dre,el q Co. OF Philade-
phia. won a verdict OF s125, 900 yesterday
on the narrow margin OF few seconds.
At about o'clock In the afternoon
the jury reported Its inability to agree
after being out four hours. Judge Angus
tus n. Hand protested against having to
dismiss the case In this way on its sec
ond trial, but one OF the older Jurors
insisted that 1t was impossible to reach
an agreement. The Juror looked In the
direction of the youthful foreman, who
said that nothing could be done.
well then" said the Judge. there Is
nothing else to do but dismiss you gen.
tlemen. YOU"
your Honor" the foreman spoke up,
we can try again"
The jury did try again and within a
half hour came back with the verdict for
the plaintiff.
Mr. Robinson II a member OF the brok-
erage Arm OF Flske & Robinson. He says
that when he was negotiating to sell the
Baldwin Locomotive Works to Kuhn
Loeb & Co. Mr. Johnson. president OF the
Baldwin company, who had authorized
him to make the sale. which was all but

FURTHER DECLINE
IN COTTON PRICES
Slump in Narrow Market De-
spite Of Receipt Of More Fa-
vOrable Trade News.
MUCH COUNTRY DAMAGE"

There was another narrow market in
cotton yesterday, but the undertone was
easier and prices showed a net decline OF
to Is points. There was no speculative
activity OF Importance and most of the
transactions seemed to be OF trade origin.
New Orleans was a fair seller here.
The trade news, II anything. was rather
encouraging. Exports were large with a
considerable amount OF shipments pend
ing. Reports from the South showed an
increase in mill construction and 1t was
announced that the Amoskeag Manufac-
turing Company would resume full time
operation Immediately. This step would
AFFECT $1,000 operatives.
The Clearing House committee Of the
New York Cotton Exchange is still hold
ing daily sessions and quite a number OF
technical and legal questions have been
disposed OF The proposal is now In
such form as to permit the hope that a
complete report will be given out by the
committee in a very short time. The es-
tabishment OF the Clearing House will
do much toward putting the contract mar
ket on a more stable basis
Nearly all the leading Southern news
farmers protecting their colt, n from the
weather A great deal OF rain has fallen
In the South recently. with Texas pre-
cipitation OF the last few days reach
ing a maximum of five inches. II is
feared, therefore, that II farmers do not
protect the cotton which they have hauled
home TO hold for higher prices tho amount
OF country damage" this season will be
the greatest on record The present crop
is generally high grade and most OF IL
was gathered in good condition, but thi.
favorable feature can be easily offset by
the injury that may come from the
weather to cotton in the bale unless II
is properly stored.
There is a general tendency also to lay
stress on the desirability of abandoning
the one crop System IN the South and TO
raise sufficient forage crops for stock
and food for the home TO prevent the
necessity OF buying everything needed
on the farm. Futures closed steady.
