Caps Mining company was held Satur-
day afternoon with the result that L.

ment that the company has on deposit

The management expects to encoun-
ter ore in the east ore shoot within a
week and in the Snaft ore shoot in

Justice Of the Peace Clark OF Tusca-

procedure and the methods employed
by the prosecution In many years

writer has never seen anything like

The prosecution has evidently thrown
rules of evidence to the wind and is
forcing into evidence even hearsay
and conversations in which the defen-
dant took no part and of which he
had no knowledge. Objections by the
defense are repeatedly overruled. and
the court manifests his impatience
with the counsel for the defense for
their frequent and repeated objections.

WHEAT MARKET IS
SOMEWHAT EASIER.
Cooler Weather Dispels
Fear of Increased Crop
Damage

Chicago, July 31.-Cooler weather which
tended to dispel fears of increased dam
age to the spring crop made the wheat
market today somewhat easier during
most of the session. The close was un-
settled, September, s121@1.21b and De-
cember $1.24%d1.245s, with the market at
whole 3sc off to Nc up as compared
with Saturdays finish In corn the out
come was unchanged to lie lower; oats
lost AQasc to 1c. and c~,r,sions showed
a setback of 7lza1oc to 7oc.
The market again weakened in view o.
large receipts in the southwest, but then
scored a decided upturn as a result of
word of extraordinary smallness of
advance, though, was not we'll main
tanned, the selling side in the late deal
mestic visible supply total.
Assertions by a leading expert that the
substantial enlargement of the do
ings being favored by announcement of
wheat crop of South Dakota looked like
a failure accompanied the advices of
meagre threshing returns there. He said
aNo that the prospect in North Dakota
was poor.
Rain in central Illinois and in western
Iowa gaSe the bears final advantage as
to corn. Neviously the market was firm
er owing chiefly to crop damage reports
especially from Oklahoma and southern
Kansas. Oats were weak throughout the
day. Country offerings were larger and
hedging sales increased to material ex-
tent.
Plentiful receipts of hogs here were
weakened provisions There was no evil
dence of support from packers.

WEATHER
CAUSES SELLING
Cotton at New Orleans
Shows Small Decline
for Day

New Orleans, July 31.-The cotton mar
ket stood at a small decline today on
selling prompted by the better weather
conditions over the belt. The fair wealth
er in the eastern portion, together with
the forecast of continued clear weather,
offset the bullish expectations regarding
the condition figures from the govern
ment tomorrow, although the nearness
of this report went far to restrict trad
ing.
part of the list showed an advance OF
points on the opening, but Immediately
after the call there was a sag and in
the early trading prices were at a net
loss of to points. BY noon the
market was points down In the aft
ernoon there was a reaction of a few
points, but on the closing list showed
net loss for the session of to Z
points.
Rains in Texas were considered high
ly favorable to the growth of the crop
and strengthened the bearish feeling
caused by the weather in the Atlantics
Brllish traders, however pointed out that
Oklahoma still was suffering from drouth
and more or less unea sness was caused
by the official announcement of a tropi-
cal disturbance in the vicinity of the
Yucatan channel.

TENDENCY TO EASE
OFF IN COTTON
Market Is Quiet in New
York-Government Re-
port Today

New York, July 31.-The cotton market
was quiet today, with prices showing a
tendency to ease off slightly as a result
of scattered realizing or liquidation for
over the government report, which is to
be published tomorrow. December con-
tracts. for instance, sold at 13.4Sc at the
opening, and eased off to 1880, closing
at 1880, while the general list closed
steady, net unchanged to 4 points lower.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to points in response to relatively
firm cables. Private advices from Liv-
erpool said the market there was quiet
and one of the cables received here said
that the trade was looking for a condi-
ton report of about rs per cent. There
appeared to be very few buyers around
the local ring, however, and prices soon
turned easier, with the market showing
rather a reactionary tendency following
the advances of last week. The easier
ruling on New Orleans and more favor
able eastern belt weather conditions
doubtless promoted the tendency to take
profits, but aggressive selling was held
ernment report would be under the 10
year average, and uncertainty as to the
development of slight disturbances re-
ported south of Cuba and the low barom-
eter running from Lower California to
the Panama canal october contracts
eased from 1890 to 10. 19c, and January
sold down 1850 to 13.43c, or about S
points under Saturdays closing figures,
but the market steadied around this level
and fluctuations during the afternoon
were narrow and irregular with the close
showing rallies of a point or two from
the lowest.
Private reports so far issued have
ranged from about 74.S to 1873 per cent as
to condition, and have averaged in the
neighborhood of 75.4 per cent.
