ANNIsTON

Annston. July Especial )-The body of Thomas W. Foster, who was drowned in the Coosa river at the Sea- board Air Line bridge near Lock 8 Tuesday morning. was received this
 morning near Lock 4. 15 miles below the point where the accident occurred The body was taken to Ohatchee, where it will be inferred Saturday aft ernoon. MT. Foster, who was a bridge foreman in the employ of the Seaboard Air Line railway, was a former resi- dent of this city and was the son of former Mayor Felix Foster. He Is sur vived by his wife and children and has three sisters at present living in An niston His father and brother live at Eulaton.
 The distance Mir Fosters body was carried by the rushing current of the Coosa indicates to some extent how the recent rains have turned that usual ly quiet stream into torrent. A fur ther indication is seen in the finding of the body of James Langford at Lock |12 Wednesday, Lanford met his death while trying to cross the Coosa in a skiff near Lock last Sunday.
 Sergeant Earle Hawkins of Company M, Fourth regiment. at Camp Vandiver, twas taken suddenly i'll late yesterday afternoon and it was found necessary to remove him to a hospital in Montgom- cry, where it was found that an op- eration was necessary. He is the son of T. P Hawkins of Blue Mountain, who left this morning to be at the young mans bedside.

of gold, some $500, ,00O, GOO in all since the war began, is having no immediate et- feet, at least of the kind apprehended, namely, gold imitation, with it's conse- quent disturbance of business. For the gold is utilized to pay debts owed to the United States.
 If the movement continues, however, for another year there is likely to be some embarrassment due to the lack of facilities for storing it. million dollars in gold makes, relatively speaking, small parcel There is in the assay of- flee of this city a block of gold which meas il feet in length, nine feet in thickness and nine in height. It does not take up much room yet it is valued at over $100,0O0,000, but when so great an amount as $60O,0OOO00 is to be stored in the vaults of the assay office then there must be careful reckoning of space facli- ties.
 The $2O,oo00o0 which was received by J. P Morgan & Co.,, on Monday of this week was deposited in the assay office and 1t added somewhat to the already great bulk of gold deposited there. It
 is recalled that when the first consign- ment of gold. from London to J. P. Nor gan & Co. came by special train from Halifax there was a great deal of ad- vertising of this movement of gold, and the consignees did not regard this pub licity as worth while. Probably some hint was given of this ss Ing. because later consignments that have come by special train from Halifax have been unheralded until they were within a few miles of New York.
 London is now reported in the financial district to be the dearest money market in the world, while, on the other hand. in view of the vast accumulation of funds, New York is regarded as the cheapest and most favorable money mar ket and likely long to continue to be of that condition.

WEEKLY REVIEW 0F COTTON MARKET Conflicting Opinions of the Weather and Crop Reports
 Offset Market

New York, July 21.-The week in cotton developed very little new in the way of speculative activity and showed such conflict. of opinion regarding the progress of the crop, particularly east of the river, that the trade was very much mixed as to actual condi- tions, although Wall street and many of the local operators took the posi- tion that conditions were not so bad as reported. These interests were the principal sellers of the week and much of the downward tendency which de- veloped in the market was due to pres sure of this sort, together with the fact that buying orders from the south east were entirely disproportionate to the amount of bull news from that quarter Toward the close of the week a little more attention was paid to the reports of damage but they failed to exert much stimulating effect upon the market as at the same time news from the western belt by reason or good rains in some of the largest pro- ducing counties in Texas and in Okla homa coupled with lowering of the recent high temperatures in both states, furnished an offsetting in fluence. The chief apprehension con- corning the eastern crop now seems to be over the question of boil wee vii and shedding. It is feared that rains have multiplied the former, while any return of hot, dry weather will presumab bly exert an unfavorable ef- feet after the prolonged rains and magnify the effects of the nonuse or fertilizer It is said that cotton has already begun to move in southern Texas and that English buyers are on hand waiting for a general movement to begin. Spot people here have report ed no weakening by holders in the south of the old crop and it is expect ed that owing to the rains in the east the new crop there will move later than usual. A private crop report is- sued during the week made the con- dition 7S, or drop of 2.6 points in two weeks. A tropical storm scare early in the week proved to be un- founded as the hurricane moved up the coast without touching the belt, although showery conditions were still present over the eastern belt at the end of the week.

DECATUR

Decatur, July 1.-(Special)-The case of the state against Henry Sharp, charged with the murder of Edgar Willis, Is on trial in the Morgan county law and equity court in Decatur. Judge Thomas w. Vert, judge of this court, is sitting on the case. It took the greater part of yester- day to secure jury in the trial of the case, as many of the citizens who had been announced for jury service stated that they had fixed opinion in the case. Hence many jurors were excused from service. The killing of Sharp took place in the lower end of the county sometime ago. The case is one that has attracted a good deal of attention. The courthouse is crowded with spectators from all sec tions of the county.
 Will Skeggs, a well known young man of Decatur, was quite badly injured yes terday while alighting from a train at Irvington, Ky. His skull is said to be fractured, but his injuries are not con- sdered serious. He arrived home today alone on an early train. MT. Skeggs is
