SHARP DECLINE
 IN COTTON PRICES Weekly Crop and Weath Reports From G0vernmel
 Affect Market

New Orleans. July 1s.-A soft tone de( veloped in the cotton market today, bear ish traders becoming aggressive and furnishing a supply of contracts which the future ring found difficulty in ab- sorbing. The feature of the session was the weekly crop and weather reports from the government issued at II o'clock. Prior to that time the trade was inclined to buy on the idea that the reports would be extremely unfavorable, but after they were read offerings increased on the claim that they were not as bullish as expected.
 In the early trading prices rose to points. but by noon the advance was lost and the market stood to $ points un- der yesterdays close. Late in the day the decline was widened to II to l2 points and last prices were within point of the lowest.
 The selling was generally attributed = professional interests and many brokers claimed it was stimulated by lack of in- terest in the situation on the long side rather than to any favorable impression derived from the weekly crop accounts.

MARKET SAGGED
 ON CROP REPORTS Cotton Prices Steady at Opening But Closed Low
 est for the Day

New York, July 19.-Neither the weekly
 government weather report of the trop-
 icai storm furnished bulls in the cotton
 market with any encouragement today,
 and the market, after a little display of
 steadiness after the opening, when Oc
 tober advanced to 13.07c, December to
 13.22c, and January to 132Sc, representing
 net rise of to points, gradually
 sagged off until at the close, which was
 lowest for the day, the list showed a net
 loss of 10 to 14 points.
 Aside from mentioning less favorable conditions in the central and eastern
 belts, especially in the lowlands, as
 result of the heavy floods. the weekly report was far from being as sensational as bulls were expecting and it's reference to Texas and Oklahoma was considered distinctly favorable notably the indica-
 tion that boil weevil were less active in the former state. The Sidetracking of the West Indian storm, after being an uncertain factor for several days, by reason of its dis appearance up the coast north of the Carolinas, with probably little effect out side of the coast sections, completed the disappointment of those working for higher prices and practically left the market without support other than that furnished at times by spot houses, who were still buying October. Wall street was a good seller in the afternoon on the improved crop prospects, and was be- lieved to have accumulated quite a large short line on the idea that the crop is in far better shape than private reports of late have indicated, and that at least | 50 to 70 per cent of the area. ipncluding the largest producing sections, Is mak- i ing very excellent progress.
 Steadiness in the Liverpool market, which closed to 4 points higher, was partly responsible for the opening steadi- ness here when prices were 1 point lower to points net higher.

Coffee Market

New York, July 19.-The market for coffee futures was firm again today and after opening to points higher, was sustained throughout the session by sup port from local and foreign interests, most of which was based the con- tinued strength of the Brazilian mar ket and a belief that spot interests, hav- ing light supplies, will soon have to re- plenish. From its early level of SAG, September advanced to S51c; December from S.63c to S.65c and March from SS4c to 8.S6c, with the close at practically the top of the day and 3 to 6 points net higher. Sales, 35,250 July, S.44c; August, S.44c; September, S.5Oc; October, S.55c; November. s.60c; December. S.65c; Jan uary, S71c; February, S.7Sc March, S.s5c; April, $500; May, s.eSc; June s01c

Sugar Market

New York, July 19.-The market for raw sugar was easier and prices were one-fourth cent below last prices on sales of 15,000 bags of Cubas in port to a local refiner late Tuesday, equal to 6.14c for centrifugal There were also sales of 12,000 bags of San De- klingo in port at 5c, cost and freight delivered. At this level the market was steadier, probably on account of the better demand for granulated for ex- port and at the close refiners paid 5Ac for 21,000 bags of Cuban afloat, equal to 627c for centrifugal and $500 for molasses. There were also ex- changes of about 10000 tons of Cuba raws to be refined at New Orleans on toll basis. July-August shipment
 In refined no changes occurred in prices but there was more activity noted in the way of export business Sales were placed at about 10000 tons to exporters, but domestic business was only moderate and chiefly in the way of withdrawals on old contract Fine granulated was quoted on the basis of 7.65c by all refiners.
 Futures recovered practically all of yesterdays decline on covering and active buying by commission houses and trade interests prompted by the better demand for granulated Closing prices were to II points net higher with sales of 16.300 tons. September sold from 5.24@5.32c. closing 5S1c; De- cember, 495 &c., closing sole; March, All @4.44c, closing 4.46c.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. July 19.-(Special )-Cables this morning were rather better than due but our market was quiet and made a rather poor response at the opening. Ex- pectations of a bullish weekly weather report at noon sustained prices through the morning. When issued. however. this report proved surprisingly favorable and brought sufficient scattered selling from the south and northern liquidation to bring about decline of some 10 or i: points from last nights closing level. The latest tropical disturbance is now re- ported off the coast of North Carolina, and it seems probable that 1t will en- tirely miss the belt The more favor- able view expressed regarding the crop has had little effect in changing the local attitude, which is to expect some con- siderable damage. Of course. we are now at the critical stage and the weather wil. bear watching, but at the moment with the exception of the flooded lowlands in the storm area, prospects are favorable. There Is still no serious effort on the part of the south to sell forward at these prices. although there seems to be some increase in the volume of these hedsinr orders.

ANew York, July 19.-(Special.)-The cot ton market declined sharply today on publication of the government weekly weather report, which. contrary to gen eral expectations, was highly favorable, Liverpool and leading spot interests were good sellers and there was some iliquida- : ton for long account.

Ayery's Letter

The cotton market was worked trifle today by short covering, anticipating q bullish weekly weather report from the government When the same was pub lished, 1t was stand-off good weather conditions in the western belt overbai- ancing excessive rains in the eastern. Pressure became heavier after the re- port was out and prices sagged off, clos ing at about the low point.
 There is nothing of especial interest that can be said about the market, the weather being about the sole influence. and that will have to get worse to ad- vance prices from this high level or ir;- prove to break it much. It has every evidence of being hard to bull, every time 1t runs up, the wheels comemnce to squeak. It Is like an engine trying to start heavy train. It has to back up. to take up the slack before it can start!
 This cotton market needs the slack taken out and it will have to back up in order to do 1t. c. F. AVERY.

THIS IS THE
LAST DAY YOU
CAN REGISTER
UNLESS VOTERS GET NAMES EN-
ROLLED BEFORE MIDNIGHT,
THEY WILL BE DiSFRANCHlSED.
DEMOCRATS IN CITY SLOW.

When the hour of midnight arrives
tonight all who have failed to register
their names according to the provi-
sons of the last legislature, will be
denied the ballot in the primary and
the general election this fall. Reports
from the country precincts state that
the democrats have registered nearly
all the voters of that party, but the
same cannot be said of the city pre-
cincts, as the registers report that 1t
seems to be a matter of the slightest
indifference to many democrats as to
whether they register or not, and they
will only realize their mistake when
they attempt to vote this fall and the
ballot is denied them.
The precinct registers have not on
ly worked hard, but they have made
many sacrifices to get the voters to
register, they have succeeded in some
instances to find parties who were at
work and getting their names, while
in many instances they have failed
to find their men and as the men will
not come to them the chances are
that they will be disfranchised.
q think this registration law is a
joke" said one party man yesterday,
but this same man will not. find it to
be a joke when he attempts to cast
ballot this fall unless he changes his
mind and registers before midnight to-
night.
"Tell the voters through the paper
that | want them to register tonight
before it is too late, we are going to
need every democratic vote this fall,
and | want Carter county to roll up
bigger majority than ever before" said
Mr. Dunlap this morning, and his
warning should be needed by all who
have the interest of the party at heart.

KIRK MORGAN
ACCUSED Of
BIZ RGL III !
ALLEGED THAT HE WAS THE
ONE WHO BROKE GLASS IN
JEWELRY STORE AND STOLE
JEWELRY TO AMOUNT OF $1o0.

Since the window in the jewelry
store of j. W. Dorrah was smashed a
few nights ago and a quantity Of
jewelry taken the officers have been
on the watch for the perpetrator of
the deed, and yesterday afternoon
their efforts were rewarded when of
ficsr Dow Braziel succeeded in locat-
ing and recovered part of the stolen
property.
Kirk Morgan, a young man from
well known family in this city, is the
one charged with the theft, and the
manner in which the crime has been
fastened upon him by the officers ac-
cording to their statement is as fol-
lows: 1t seems that young Morgan
presented some of the jewelry to a
friend in the city and the trinket was
afterward recognized by friend OF
Mr.. Dorrahs as belonging to him.
When questioned as to where the
jewelry was procured, was told that
Kirk Morgan presented it. Mr.. Bra
ziel went to investigate at the boys
home, and was rewarded by securing
part of the stuff. They Immediately
began the search for young Morgan
but he had vanished. A close watch
was kept on his usua. haunts all
day yesterday without avail and II
was afterward reported that he had
been seen in Oklahoma City. Officer
Braziel went there yesterday to inyes-
tigate and attempt to apprehend him.
The parents of the youth are well
known and highly respected residents
of this city, but it is alleged that
young Morgan has been mixed up in
several questionable transactions in
the past.
Mr.. Dorrah although he has not
recovered all of his merchandise
states that he believes he has it To-
Gated and will eventually recover 1t.
