TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosas July 2-(Special) )-yohn Spencer. the 17-year old son of Gill Spencer. of the O,Connells creek neigh borhood came in and surrendered to the sheriff yesterday and was placed under a nominal bond to await the TO- suit of the injuries to his father. Late Saturday night Gill Spencer and his wife were engaged in an altercation and the boy rushed in and whaled his father across the head with a single barreled shotgun, fracturing the skull of the elder Spencer who now lies at the Druid City infirmary between life and death, with chances greatly in favor of the latter.
 The boy claims that his father was beating his mother and intervention was necessary in order to protect her His story is evidently credited by the authorities who have placed nm unoeI a nominal bond The young Spencer hears a good reputation. He Is greatly shocked at the tragic outcome of his attempt to protect his mother, having m idea of doing more. he declared than forcing his father to desist from uistreatment of Mrs. Spencer.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 2-Cables this morning were better-than due, but our market was more influenced by the good weather and the feeling that in view of the poor response to yesterdays report the tech nical situation was such that further liquidation was to be expected. This view had a considerable influence upon sen- itiment, and it is not surprising, that this should be the case in view of the re- fusal of the market to advance on such a bureau estimate as we had yesterday. With a three-day holiday at the end of the week, it is not to be expected that there will be much activity tomorrow. Weather conditions are more favorable, and it would seem that the weather would remain dry over the weekend. On the decline the principal buying was from the trade, and we think that this buying will continue to be in evidence on any further reaction.

Cotton Condition


 Washington, July 2.-Cotton made fairly good growth in most northern districts of the belt but progress was poor nearly everywhere else, according to the national weather and crop bull letin reviewing conditions during tho week ending yesterday.
 "The crop deteriorated in many parts of Texas and was at standstill or deteriorated in all low lands of Louisi- ana," said the bulletin. 'orhe growth was good in eastern and southern Oklahoma, but poor elsewhere. It made good progress in Arkansas ex- cept locally in southern part, where the heavy rains were unfavorable. The growth was fair in some sections of Tennessee Mississippi, Alabama and in small areas in Florida. Very good progress was made in the north ern part of Georgia, where well culti- vated, but poor elsewhere. The growth was satisfactory the first of the week in North Carolina, but was retarded 1 by low temperature at the close of the week. Although the temperature was low. it made fairly good growth in South Carolinai and cloudiness pre- vented scalding.
 "Weevil and weevil damage are in creasing in the southern parts of cen tral and eastern sections Cotton was blooming north to southern South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas and South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma"

Sugar Market.

New York, July 2.-There was no change in raw sugar prices, which are quoted at 7.2Sc for centrifugal to the refiner The weather in Cuba was again unset tied, with more centrals closing down. The board reported purchases of 525,ooo bags of Cuban.
 The market for refined is unchanged with fine granulated quoted at 9c. De- Iveries to the domestic trade continued active and new business is held in check by the inability of refners to fill old orders. There is an active demand from both domestic and export buyers,i but most of the refiners are out of the market and sold up for some time to come.

Over Stewart & Co., Wire

New Orleans, July 2-Indifference re-
 flected by the Liverpool board, a much
 better weather map and disappointment
 over the absence of clearing foreign news
 com oined to invite further realizing and
 the market after some attempt to rally,
 from an irregular opening, soon, broke 30 points
 Trading reflected a tendency towards
 further realizing reactions. but the bull ish fundamentals of a strong dry goods situation and precarious crop prospects are ever held present, and good inter- mediate rallies are probable on recurring expression of bullish feeling over these facts. Therefore demand may assume good proportions on declines. Liverpool, continuing yesterdays late decline, in the face of our bureau rally, was this morning about 20 lower than due, but recovered g to 10 points before
 the close.
 Over w. I. Phelts & Co.'s Wire New Orleans, July 2.-Liquidation from the long side, mixed with considerable selling which was encouraged by the com paratively dry weather map and the fore
 cast of fair weather for practically the entire belt. put the price of cotton lower today. Selling by longs was, to great extent, in preparation for the triple holi- days following the close tomorrow Late in the day prices were 7S to S9 points under the last quotations of yeS- terday. The weather map showed widely scattered showers in the belt, but much less moisture fell than for many days
 past The forecast was for fair weather in both the eastern and western belts except for fair and partly cloudy in por- tions of east Texas.
 The gist of the weekly reports was that sunshine had been deficient and too much rain had fallen over much of the belt and that while satisfactory progress was reported in the northern portion, poor progress was noted elsewhere with de- terioration in many sections of Texas
 and Louisiana. a.--Shepard & Gluck R. D.

W. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Letter


 New Orleans, June 2.-Liverpool was not quite as low as due, but the spot
 market there showed very little busi-
 ness doing at lower prices from the
 spot department.
 Our market opened some 20 points
 decline on the most active months and
 after shivering around for a time
 gathered 20 points on the constructive side, running October up to 32.55c. At
 this level there was more liquidation noticed, and from then on until the final prices, which showed a net de- cline of 90 points from the close of yesterday, the undertone was notice-
 ably weak.
 We feel that in the long run our friends can have their swing at the constructive side of the market, but we do feel at the present writing one should be extremely cautious in plac- ing purchasing orders, for we do not
 believe in trying to feel for the bottom of liquidating market. Spots in New Orleans were marked up 25 pSin,s. with only small sales, and the longs
 took advantage of this by putting out more cotton, on which they had handsome profits. As a parting word, we wish to ret- crate the weather is the controlling factor at present. Watch the weather closely.-W. E. Campbell & Co.,

NC-4 HELD BACK:
2 LOST IN VOID
AnHope Of Finding Hawker
And Crieve Alive Given
Up at London, Where
Newspapers Criticise
Naval Authorities.

London. May 21.-Now that all
hope for the rescue of Harry G.
Hawker and Lieut.. Commander Mac
kenzie Grieve has been abandoned,
the impression is growing among
experts that the little Sopwith plane
probably never reached the neigh
borhood Of the Irish coast.
1t is believed that either the petrol
supply was exhausted in midflight
as result OF encountering unex-
pected adverse gales. or that the
plane dropped because of engine
trouble and was unable to take the
air again.
AS it is. Hawker and Grieve have
been swallowed by the void like
Hamel and Andre. 1t is considered
extremely unlikely that any trace
of the men or plane will ever be
discovered. The weight of the en-
Cine would be certain to force the
frail body OF the plane beneath the
waves. especially II the sea were
rough. as it is known to have been
in mid Atlantic during the csti-
mated time OF Hawker's flight.

NONSTOP FLIGHT
OBJECT OF navy

Navy experts in aircraft already
have plans for a seaplane that will
be able to make a nonstop flight from
New York to Plymouth. England. and
perhaps farther. 1t is said that If
sufficient funds were forthcoming by
Congress. a plane of this type would
be forthcoming in short order.
Navy officers declared that neither
the United States nor any other DOW
er possessed an air machine which
could compare with the proposed type.
They declared the new plane would
be able to develop a speed of from
l39 to 40 miles an hour. and be so
designed as to eliminate the necessity
of carrying large quantities Of sur
plus fuel
In this connection they pointed out
that the additional engines were not
installed in the planes which started
on the transatlantic flight to give
them a greater speed capacity, but
to assist them in carrying extra fuel
needed for the trip.
