COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May 27.-The cotton
market more than lost the rally of yes
terday afternoon at the opening this
morning, with first prices barely
steady at a decline of 6 to points.
This was due to scattered selling in
spired by the continued decline in
Liverpool, favorable view of weather
conditions over a greater part of the
belt and continued nervousness over
the political situation. There was
considerable covering around $50 for
October, however, and the market rail-
lied 4 or 5 points from the lowest
after the publication of the official fore
casts for unsettled and showery
weather.
Futures opened steady; July, 9.23;
October. $50; December. $50; January,
9.s5; March, 1910.
Offerings tapered off after the close
of Liverpool, while covering became a
little more active, owing to diminished
nervousness over the Nebraskan affair
and apprehension that continued show
ers would bring in less favorable crop
accounts. Demand was not active. but
proved sufficient to send prices or 8
points over last nights closing figures.

The Public and Capital Traction
Stockholders

On May II. through the columns Of this paper,
! recommended the purchase Of Capital Traction
STOCK On that day the stock closed at 81 bid.
On May IS and 10 the stock sold at 90. Since
then. partly through natural reaction and partly
through manipulation, TIE stock has receded to
slightly under 81. I believe 1t has reacted suf-
hcfently, and I again recommend its purchase.
In doing this feel as though I am doing a con-
structive work for the stockholders and suggest
ing safety and security for the investor. Amy un-
biased investigation will show the Capital Traction
Co. to be very valuable property. will later
give further reasons for my deductions, and com
pare the Capital Traction Co. with our other
leading local utilities as CLEANED from their
sworn statements to Congress.
Partly on account Of the neglect and indifer-
! ence Of the friends Of the company. and partly
on account Of the manipulative attacks and
prejudice Of the enemies of the company. Capital
Traction stockholders have been compelled to
suffer an unreasonably low and unfair market
for their stock. l think that day is over. All
stockholders who feel that Capital Traction IS
entitled to a true and ready market for their
shares, commensurate with their value. and de.
sire to see such market. will please lend their
cooperate by communicating with me-

MIDDIES ARE SUSPECTED.
Entire First and Second Glasses Re-
examined in Spanish.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. May 27.-The entire
membership Of the first and second
classes at the Naval Academy under
went a re-examination in Spanish to-
day because of the suspicious of the
academy authorities that the questions
prepared for the test had been sur
reptitiously obtained and made use Of
by some of the midshipmen.
The suspicious of the officials were
aroused through indications that the
office of the head Of the department of
languages. where the questions were
kept, had been robbed. This idea was
strengthened after the examination pa
pers were gone over by the professors
and showed that many backward Span
ish students had developed an unex-
plainable familiarity with a subject
which in past months had been q Stun

MAY DELIVERY WHEAT
DROPS 8 CENTS A BUsHEL
Chicago Prices Fall on Signs Of Van

Other Months Firm.

CHICAGO. May 27.-Wheat for May
delivery dropped in value cents a
bushel today in addition to fall yes
terday of nearly cents. The price to-
day went to s1.42A, as against s1.5oh
s1.87 at the crest of the war excite
ment February 5.
Signs appeared to indicate that ow.
ing to recent lack of export call the
danger, which formerly seemed acute
of a shortage of wheat here May 81
the end of the crop year. had about
reached the vanishing point.
1t took but little selling today to
bring down the price of the May op-
ton Virtually no excitement resulted
today. and other trading months re-
manned comparatively firm.
Harge Shipments on Way.
Excessive rains that meant serious
injury to crops gave strength today
to the more active deliveries of wheat.
The May option, in which trade was
almost at a standstill, proved weak as
a result Of large shipments on the way
here to be rendered on the current
months contracts. Prices for July and
September were somewhat affected,
cables being unresponsive to yester-
days sharp declines on this side of the
Atlantic.
The market here, after opening /
cent off to / cent up, scored material
further gains in the deferred months.
Another Upturn for Corn.
Serious complaints as to field condi-
tions in Iowa had a bullish influence on
corn. 1t was said the planted acreage
in Iowa might be greatly reduced.

ditional upturn.
Oats developed frmness with other
cereals. Advances, however, were rela-
lively small
Provisions took the same course as
grain. An upturn in the hog market
