SPOTS AND FUTURES
The New Tork San'a BTlew of the Situa
tion in Cotton. - "
', By Telepaph to the Morning Star.
New York. August 13. The Sun
sis: Cotton declined ten points, then
rallied slightly and closed steady at i'
decline lot the day cf eight to ten points.
Liverpool advanced four and a half to
five points, but reacted and closed fever
ish at a net advance of cne and a half to
Iwj points, with spot sales of 18.000
bates at firm and unchanged prices. Five
baics of new cotton arrived at La Grange.
New Orleans adv-nced two to three
points, but lost this and declined seven
to eiht points. Port receipts 233 bales
against 207 this day last week and 243
last year. Spot cotton here was steady
and unchanged with sales of 243 bales
for spinning. Houston received 155 bales
against 42 this day last week and 752
last year. Southern spot markets were
generally quiet but firm. Liverpool
closed feverish. Some cotton goods ad
vanced a quarter of a cent to-day. The
aggregate amount of dividends declared
for the quarter just ended by the Fall
River mills was $532,875. These dis
bursements are made on an entire capi
tal investment of $31,008,000, theaverage
return being 2.54 per cent.
To-day's leatures: The decline to-day
was not at all surprising, io view of the
rapid and very marked advance within
the last ten day?. The heavy realizing
was not at all surprising, and the de
cline was not great under the circum
stances. Liverpool behaved handsome
ly in the main and there was consider
able buying, both for Liverpool and
Continental account, while the old bull
clique in New Orleans, it is stated, was
again buying, and there was also con-
'siderable covering of shorts by local
operators. Rain fell in Texas, but it
, was mostly in the north and north
west, where it is not wanted,
and heavy ' rains fell in Alabama
and Louisiana, where they seem likely
to do more injury than good. The im
mediate cause of the decline to-day was
a dispatch from New Orleans stating,
apparently with authority, that the
weekly Government report to-morrow
(Wednesday) will be, more favorable
than the last monthly report (August
10th). with the exception of some parts
of Texas, where rain is undoubtedly
needed: that is to say. in the south
ern and southwestern pot tions. Europe.
New York and the South sold
to1 realize profits and stop-orders
were caught on the way down. Some
of the crop news from Georgia and Ala
bama was favorable, but on the other
hand bad reports are being received from
private sources. The spot trade in Liv
erpool continues active; spot quotations
are still rising in this country, and the
coiton trade is in a very promising con
dition, many makes having advanced
considerably within the last two weeks
rn increasing demand.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Beptembar Wheat, Cora and Oata Higher
Stp-embar Lrd and Bibs Lower.
St Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, August 13. A recovery of
a portion of yesterday's loss in wheat
values was made to-day. not because the
trade had been converted to a bullish
view of the situation, but rather through
persistent covering of previous sales by
shorts. At the start and during apart
of the first half hour it looked as though
there would be a repetition of the de
- clining movement, but gradual firmness
came into the market, and as no decided
attempt was made to force prices lower
.they appreciated steadily. September
wheat opened from 65 if c to 65c, ad
vanced to 67c, and closed at 66
bbkc llHc higher than yesterday,
Cash wheat in v the sample crowd was
firm and lc per bushel higher.
Corn displayed a recuperative tendency
to day. September corn Opened at 36Jc,
sold between so and 36&C, closing at
33 ljc higher than yesterday. Cash
corn was steady, prices averaging about
as yesterday.
Oats The course pf prices in oats was
identical with that of other grains.
whilst the range was not as great. Sep
tember oats closed higher than yes
terday. Cash oats were 3sc per bushel
lower, but closed somewhat better.
Provisions A generally lower market
f jr provisions was noted. Hogs were
again in a weak and demoralized condi
tion and product took inspiration from
that source. About the middle of the
session, under some ' buying .to cover
shorts, there were slight upturns, but be
fore the close, prices were of! again. A
fair business was transacted. The close
was 12KC. lower than yesterdav for Ser
tember pork. 5c lower for September
lard and 12c. lower for September ribs.

Washington. . August 13 Repre
sentatives from almost - every; State will
be present at the Free Coinage Confer
ence to be held in this city to morrow.
This conference is the outcome of the
Memphis Convention,- at which time
Democratic ; representatives from all
States were instructed to send delegates:
to a general conference in ; Washington.
These delegates come as representatives
of .the 10 to 1 movement and are confi

It is probable that Senator Harris will
preside over the meeting, and. Casey
Young, of Memphis, who is chairman
of the executive committee, will have
much to say in the proceedings.
The object of the conference is to
form an organization within the Demo
cratic party favorable to free silver and
every effort win De maae to secure har
mony in the ranks. Senator Har
ris is authority , for the statement
that a new National Committee
will be formed, composed of Democrats
of prominence, one drawn from each
State, the object being to secure control
of the next National Democratic . Con
vention. ' -
W. H. Hinichson arrived to-night from
Illinois.at the head of a large delegation,
of which Congressman Fithian is a mem
ber. Mr. Hinichson has the honor of
having-called the first Free Silver Con
vention ever held. He dominated the
Convention held at Springfield in June
last, and is confident that the West as
well as Illinois is taking more kindly
every day to the free silver movement.
Mr. Hinichson said to-night: "The
free silver men will nominate and elect
the next President. Naturally we in tbe
West turn to Wm. R. Morrison as the
one available candidate who represents
sterling Democracy as opposed to the
gold bug mugwumpery of the White
House. While Mr. Morrison has thus far
remained non-committal on the silver
question, yet we are assured by
him that he - has the interests of
his party at heart. His party will point
to him in unmistakable terms the neces
sity for free silver and urge upon him
his leadership. As the silver movement
originated in the West, so also must the
party leader come from the West.
"It should be understood that this is a
Democratic, movement, entirely within
the lines of the party. Every possible
effort will be made to prevent factional
differences. This Conference will adopt
resolutions that I believe will be adopted
in a maioritv of the Democratic conven
tions of the various States, so that, when
tbe next National Democratic Conven
tion is held, the delegates will vote
almost unanimously in favor of free
silver.
Senator Daniel was one of the late
arrivals to-night. He said he was aware
what the personnel of the conference
would be, but he expected about 2,000
delegates to be present. Such a num
ber, he thought, would work with more
consonance than a larger number and
the work on hand would be expedited
sooner. He saw no reason why the
meeting should last longer than one day.
tit baa not come here to offer resolu
tions, and did not know tbe nature of
the ones that would be introduced by
the leaders of the movement. It was his
opinion, however, that good would come
of the affair, and that the country at
large would applaud the action of the
convention.

WINSTON'S RIOT.
No Indication That It Will be Bes timed
' Militia and Special Polioemen Still on
Duty.
Br Telegraph to the Moraine Mai
Winston, N. C, August 13. Every
thing is quiet here to-night. There
is
no indication that Sunday night's riot
will be resumed.- However, the militia
and one hundred special policemen are
still on duty,
The situation is such that there is no
telling what will happen. A Gatling
gun with four men to man it arrived at
midnight. Very few negroes were on
the streets last night.
The jury to-day returned a verdict of
murder in the second degree in the
Tuttle case. The negroes wanted him
cleared, therefore many of them are in
censed, though they ate talking very
little. : The verdict is just as a majority
of the white people expected. Counsel
for the defence will make a potion on
Thursday morning for a new trial, but
there is no hope for it being granted.
Murder in the second .degree in this
btate means a sentence to the peniten
tiary ot from five to thirty years. Tuttle
will get not less than twentv. .
The trial of Bud Cunningham for the
murder of his sweetheart opened to-day
and is progressing rapidly. A jury was
secured with little trouble and nearly al
of the evidence in the case was taken

ment to Maintaining the Gold Beaerve
But All the Member Are Hot Adhering
to the ComsaeC . i; '
. - r By Telegraph to the Morning Sur, , . '
"New York.' August IB. The Govern-
ment bond syndicate' to-day added $1,
846,000 to the gold reserve in the United
States Treasury.-The deposit waft made
at the sub-Treasury ih New York, j H,
was mainly in checks iisued by the assay
office for gold bullion' delivered in that
institution. ' Some coin wast furnished.
The assay Office checks were purchased
by the syndicate from bullion . dealers.
The syndicate is to supply jnore goia.
Arbuckle Bros., the well-known coffee
importers, withdrew $750,006 in gold to
day for . shipment to ' Europe." The
withdrawat.it is stated, was maae omy
after a meeting of tbe members of. the
bond syndicate this afternoon. As the
story runs, the .syndicate, alter a close
investigation, discovered that an tne
members were not .adhering to' their
original contract in regard to gold ship-;
menu that two well known firms, in
stead of appearing in the matter them
selves, used" the house which recently
did the bulk of shipping' of the yellow
metal. It has been said lor some utile
time that Crossman & Bro. were not for
warding gold in such large -quantities to
meet payments on the firm's account,
but that its bills were sold against .the
gold for the profits accruing directly
from such operations.. Arbuckle Bros,
are recognized as competitors, of Cross
man & Bro., and shared in the bond syn
dicate profits, whereas Crossman & Bro.
were not in that deal. While the syndi
cate members' would speak only in whis
pers, it is evident that they have discov
ered treachery in their camp ana nave
taken the initiatory step to punish, the
offenders. When the inside facts are
known they are liable to cause consider
able commotion in financial circles.
Having made enormous profits through
their participation in the syndicate oper-
tions, it was not believed for a moment
that any' of the foreign exchange houses
would ship gold and thus hamper the
Belmont-Morgan, interests, which have
been striving to keep the Treasury gold
reserve as high as possible.
