COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. January 27.-The cot
ton market was nervous and unsettled
early today, and. after opening at a de-
cline OF to points, sold about 8 to 9
points under last nights closing fig
ures, with May easing OFF to 1926, July
to 1887 and October to 1898. Liver
pool just about met yesterdays local
decline and was a moderate seller here
early, while there seemed to be some
selling for continental account, Houses
with southern connections were also
sellers. and covering by Wall street
shorts seemed to be the chief source
OF support during the early trading.
Futures opened steady; March. 1908
May, 1880; July. 1912; October. 1910:
December. 1854
Onerings increased later in the morn
ing. with rumors that long contracts
which had been firmly held for a month
or more were coming on the market.
There was trade buying on scale
down accompanied by report. that
spinners were fixing prices, and there
were also rumors of Russian buying.
but stop orders were uncovered and the
decline extended to 1918 for Nav and
1880 for July before the end OF the
morning or about Is to 10 points net
lower
Prices then steadied slightly on COW
ering. but showed rallies of only 2 or
points from the lowest shortly after
midday.

PR0FIT-TAKING WEAKENS
WHEAT MARKET TODAY
Realizing Sales Charged to Liver
pool Reports Of Buyers Holding
or for Lower Ship Rates.

CHICAGO, January 27.-Profit- taking
by holders continued today to weaken
the wheat market. The disposition to
make further realizing sales was large
ly due to reports from Liverpool that
buyers were holding off in anticipation
Of reduced vessel rates, presumably
from Argentina. On the other hand, a
leading authority predicted that Argen-
tina shipments would be light.
Opening prices, which ranged from
4 to 1Ac. lower, with May at 1876 to
1873 and July at 1851 to 12s. were fol-
lowed by rally, but later by a fresh
decline.
Corn Prices Are Firm.
Unsettled weather that threatened to
cut down receipts and spoil the quality
Of some of the supply made corn prices
firm. The lifting of an embargo on
shipments to Baltimore tended also TO
help the bulls. After opening Aass
of to a shade advance, the market
scored moderate general gains.
Oats hardened with corn. Price
changes. though, were narrow.
Provisions showed little activity. The
lack Of aggressiveness on either side
left quotations about steady.
Later commission houses bought
freely and an upturn in prices ensued.
A rally in the hog market was chiefly
responsible.
Reports that foreigners were resell
ing at the seaboard led to an addition
al sag, but the wheat market soon had
a sharp reaction. The bulls laid stress
on the chances of extensive winter
killing by a predicted cold wave. The
close was steady at SAGE to 1hc net
advance. with May at 1.36Na1.37 and
July 1.27S.
The temporary break in wheat did
not have much influence on corn.
Prices closed steady at Il to 14assc net
advance.

negro LYNCHfD, q: IT.. !:
and BODY LEFT 4: A. 4:
lY|NG::.IN WOODS
Inquest at Grady Fails to
Determine Cause or'Time
~ of Blacks DEATH

The body of a negro, apparently g
or 30 years OF age, and who had been
hanged, was found yesterday after
noon about 2k miles from Grady with
the rope still around the neck.
Information relative to the identi y
OF the negro is not to re had. despit:
the questioning of all the negroes IN
that section. He IS said to be 4
strange negro, and there is nothing
20 indicate why or by whom he was
hanged. After death, the body had
been cut down. and it was lying in
the woods when it was found.
Around the body were the tracks of
five or six horses, and these were
followed some distance toward the
river. when they were lost. So far as
is known to the authorities of that
section, there has been no trouble
such as might lead to lynching, and
the finding of the Negroes body has
started something of mystery.
An inquest was held yesterday
afternoon, coroner's Jurv being i'm
,panelled by Justice of the peace Clyde
Hellums of Grady. After the matter
had been investigated as far as pos
slDle, the cOrOner'S jury brought IN a
verdict that the negro came to his
death from strangulation, at the
hands of unknown parties.
Mr. Hellums stated last night that
indications were the body had been
lying in the woods since Saturday,
INST likely since after the rain Of
Saturday afternoon. While it is be-
lieved there had been several shots
fired into the body, this could not
be verified. owing to the condition Of
the body when it was found.
The beliefe is expressed here that
the dead negro was connected with one
of the levee camps along the river,
and that he was professional gam
bier, who had been "skinning'' the
other negroes, in the camps and on
the farms thereabouts. 1t is believed
also he was killed by members of his
own race.
