Hubbaril's Cotton Letter. ;
(Special to The Kvcning Times.)
New York, April 9. Influenced by
the rather better Liverpool advices,
our market opened slightly higher
this morning, with May in fair de
mand by cli(ue brokers on the open
ing. After the call the market
l.iMcttfl Inln .liillfiftcu m,l tin,
advance was lost on the rather full
port estimates for tomorrow and the
absence of outside speculations.
The principal feature during the
morning was the transferring from
May to July of hedges held here
against cotton in the south, and
these operations steadied the differ
ence between the two months around
6 points.
. .Weather reports from the south
over Sunday were on the whole fav
orable,' and the high water at Mem
phis attracted little attention, as the
stage 36 there is not unusual at this
season. The south continued a good
seller of the late options, particular
ly December, against the anticipated
crop. These offerings were well re
ceived, however, by buying from lo
cal sources on the ground that there
was a considerable short interest in
the new crop, which might be forced
to cover by bad weather over the hol
idays. Southern spot markets were
reported dull.

Dr. Coznrt's Death.
Durham, N. C, .April il. Dr. W. W.
Cozart, an aged and honored citizen of
Granville county, who lived near
Dutchville, died maidenly Saturday
afternoon while sitting in a roeklnS!
(hair reading, it is thought.
About X o'clock Mrs. Cnzart had gone
with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Cozait. to the depot at
Benehan. She left Dr. Cozart reading
and apparently in as good health as
usual. When she returned the hook or
paper that lie was rending had fallen
from his hand and he was leaning
back in tlie chair dead. It is supposed
that heart trouble was the cause of
death.
He was seventy-lwo years of age, son
of tlie late .lames C. Cozart. a Urge 1
planter of Stem. Dr. Cozart was Known ,
throughout the coiiiny and had a large i
practice up to the l hue when he gave
up some of it on account of his age.
The dead man was a brother-in-law j
of Mrs. J. Ed Lyon, formerly of this j
city, who now lives in High Point. He ;
was twice married and by his first wife
there is one living son, Bernard Cozart
of Stem, and two sons and two daugh
ters by the second wife, who was Miss
Emma Lyon. These are Messrs. Carl
and Pender Cozart; Miss Mabel Cozart
of Grand Junction, Tenn. !
The funeral took place at noon today.
Dr. Cozart was a brother-in-law of
Mrs. M. E. Beasley and uncle by mar
riage of Mrs. S. L. Roller of this city.
