DEC|DELY BULL|SH
 FEELING IN COTTON
Showers in Texas and Easier Cables Responsible for 10
 to 13 Points Rise

New York. July 2s=There was a distinctly bullish atmosphere about the cotton market today and while it showed some irregularity at the start with first prices to points lower because of showers in Texas and cas- fer cables, subsequently, weather de- velopments were so favorable that the earlier loss was speedily regained and for the balance of the day the mar ket exhibited pronounced signs of strength. The close was steady at s to II points net advance. The market at the top. which was during the last hour. showed 10 to 15 points net rise.
 Bears were greatly disappointed at the extent of southwest rains. They were scattered about Texas but in such small quantities as to scarcely lay the dust and instead of being followed by the hoped for general rains the forecast was for conditions tonight and tomorrow except for showers on the Texas coast. Supple menting this was a series of high tenn peratures in the southwest. Oklahoma reporting 100 degrees and over at prae-

Chambers Sheriff Cleared by Supreme Court of the
 Charges Preferred

Montgomery July -3.-tSpecia1) Sheriff John w. Lane of Chambers county was not guilty of the charges brought against him by the state and he will continue to discharge the du- ties of his office. according to a de- cision announced today by the supreme court of Alabama Sheriff Lane was charged with corruption in office and with the commission of offenses in- volving moral turpitude. He was tried before the supreme court yesterday.

Somerville and Gardner decided in ia vor of Sheriff Lane. with Chief Justice Anderson and Justices Mcclellan and deGraffenried dissenting from the ma tority of the court.
 The impeachment proceedings against Sheriff Lane were brought at tho request of the governor, follow ing the filing of information with him charging the Chambers official with the commission of various Illegal acts. The most serious charge against him was that he collected money for fines without having issued warrants for ar rest. Moreover, it was claimed that this money did not reach the county treas ury

MUCH INTEREST IN THE NEW HAVEN SUIT This Along With Gold Ex- ports to Paris Outstand-

New York. July 23.-Resumption or gold exports to Paris and actual fil- ing of the governments suit to dis solve the New Haven road were the outstanding features of today's heavy and dull stock market.

 The New Haven suit, which caused the stock to move in feverish fashion, aroused considerable interest because the Attorney Generals brief suggested the appointment of a. receiver To take over the property.

The poultry men on Morris avenue report a rushing business. Large ship ments of eggs arrive daily, and are quickly disposed of to the retailers, who in turn are experiencing a brisk demand for eggs and poultry.

 The requirements of the hotel men are also large. but supplies are now adequate and no trouble is experienced in meeting these demands. Supplies Of produce continue to arrive in large quantities, and the melon trade Is espe- cially good. Cantaloupes are of excel lent quality. and the restaurant trade is heavy.

Respite for the Sailing Ship

From the IOleuO bldue.
 Destiny, it has seemed, had directed that the steam engine should drive the sailing vessel from the seas. But per haps destiny has had a change of heart For there are prospects now that the sailing ship the great square-rigged yes sel with an acre of canvas, will come again into her glory. And the strangest thing about it is that it will be another engine which will furnish the impulse of revival.
 The engine which will do this is the kind. now gaining popularity in Europe. which burns the cheap heavy oils that long were the mere waste Of commerce. This machine is to serve as an auxiliary to sail saving the long battle with head winds, holding the ship to her course In time of storm, overcoming the time loss of calns and the difficulties in the tor tuous channels of certain great ports of the world. Ordinarily, sail will be used and when the wind is strong and fair better speed can be made with it than with the engine The engine cuts down the time cost. which is the cost that has told most heavily against the sailing ves- sel and given the steamship so tremen- dous an advantage over 1t.
 The revival of sail will be fine thing from the point of beauty and pictur- esaueness But there will be more to it than that It will mean the recrude- scence of the true merchant sailor-a type that for craftsmanship. weather lore sea lore, courage and independence has never been matched by the products of any other occupation or profession.

WHEAT PRICES ARE
 DRIVEN UPGRADE
Immense Export Sales and Black Rust in Canada
 Responsible

Chicago. July 2s.-Immense export sales and the certainty that black rust had crossed into Canada had much to do with driving wheat prices upgrade The market closed nervous at ss 0 Is net advance. Corn showed a jump of I1 E Q2hc, and oats a gain of ss @ 4 c. Provisions finished 10c off to rise of 7kc.
 It was estimated that sales of wheat for oceon shipment aggregated 1.5oO- 0oo bushels. No doubt was felt that the swift northward spread of black rust damage had been largely respon- sible for the urgent buying on Euro pean account. It was not overlooked, however that heavy rains were in- terfering with the Russian harvest and that Argentine crop adviees also were unfavorable.
 Corn trading was the most exciting of the season. Dry weather threat ening serious danger in some of the best sections of the surplus states alarmed shorts and led to speculative buying on big scale Oats made only a moderate response to the strength i'll corn. Provisions rallied in consequence of the higher values for feed.

New Orleans, July 23.-Reports of to the crop in the eastern belt by high temperatures and lack of rain caused quick spurt in the price of cotton today afternoon.

The close was at a net gain for the day of to points.
 It was weather market throughout the session. Reports of rains in Texas caused a selling wave and loss of about points in the early trading but the official weather returns did not confirm private accounts of showers and the market reacted although the real advance Wednesday of the day did not come until after the stories of dam- age in the Atlantic.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. July 3-(Special)-Tn sen sitiye condition of the market Is shown by the sharp advance of the afternoon, when the earlier sellers found 1t hard to cover on the advices that Texas rains had beep meagre. The improvement was from local buying as speculation is inert.
 Liverpool reported spots in better de- mand with an improvement in business, but oddly enough at easier prices. Crop news Is the factor. and perfect weather reeded, sellers are quick buyers when the market fails to decline either from pressure or other causes. There is no feature beyond this. the situation is near Iv critical and the trade watches the weather map.
 From other sections reports are becom- ing apprehensive.
