Bullish in spiration, largelyN dependent ; on , the promise and fear of frost, gave up the ghost yesterday when Europe's most stable recruits tumbled in ; consequence of the Balkan war,- and when Secretary Hester caused some extremely1 bearish chalk marks representing the - week's movement of ' cotton bales to be posted on the. v exchange blackboard. It- is clear to any man, or ought to be, that if Europe is jfolng 'to take a pessimistic view Of the Tetfect of the' Balkan war on finances, the trade is fully Justified In assuming that the ultimate effect on trade on the surplus supply , carrying capacity abroad will be bearish. It is also X quite clear from' -' Mr. Hester's tabulations that .the t current drift of the movement, if sustained- during a few weeks, will result In the' offering of a volume of distressed' cotton. : i " I " 'C Under the spell of frOst fears, ; the market has probably accumulated a speculative long Interest, the holders of whicb. evidently expected shorts, par ticularly those at New York, "to coyer yesterday because of frost ; predictions for the northwestern edge of the, cotton belt. 1 Instead, unfavorable reports con cerning the movement forced some longs to .liquidate. iNew i Orleans.

PAT nUNTLEY CHARGED WITH MURDER OF HIS WIFE . The dead body of Mary Huntley, jwife of Pat' JIuntley, colored resi dent of Pineyille, was discovered yes-, terday afternoon "burled in a ditch in the country a few mllea from Pine yille. The woman's thijoat . had heen cut and it appeared that she had been dead some days. .-; ,. In Jthe dlacoyery; of-;tb, bpdy iar.a-r jfprded' a partial explanation - of the mysterious' disappearance of the worn an last Sunday after having gone for a walk with her husband, f rom whom, however, she had been separated for some time. The husband, Pat Hunt ley, .was arrested on suspicion Mon day, and is ;in the . Mecklenburg . Jail, while a woman Tilly; Parks, , was yes terday, arrested following the .discov ery of the body on a charge of being an accessory to the alleged killing. The mother of the young woman who was murdered grew suspicious Sunday evening a few hours after her daughter failed to return after leav ing with her husband, and had Hunt ley arrested. ; Searchers have been on the lookout for the missing : woman several days and yesterday they found an old shovel-blood stained, and guid ed by the odor of decomposition they soon located the dead body in a ditch, where it had been placed and covered The theory is that another woman was in some manner accountable for the killing of Mary Huntley. Huntley had been visiting Mary Morrow, col- ored, and while returning from church with her recently, his wife fell upon the woman and administered a sound thrashing, which resulted in the en tire party being indicted .for disturb ing religious worship.- Morrow and his wife had been married about two and a half years but separated last Spring, : yet they had from time to time talked together and on Sunday afternoons . usually . tooK wants to gether, making it appear that their separation "was not. absolute. . - The man being held is but 27 years of age and has a good reputation . in pinevllle, where he has spent his life, YOUNG- WOMEN :M ARE PLAYING OFF TOURNAMENT There has been much ' , enthusiasm flmontr the v contestants.
