JUUilGS&SOil BALTIMORE, MD. if - CANOVAS IS ASSASSINATED. AN ANARCHIST ASSASSINATES THE PRIME MINISTER. A COTTON ;OORNER. His Wife Was Present and? Called t he Assassin a Murderer The Anarchist Says He Committed the Terrible Deed Through Revenge. NEW ERA OP PROSPERITY. It is At Hand and Cotton Must Share in the General Advance. .New York, Aug. 7. The cotton market has acted like the traditional pendelum this week. It has made moderate upward and downward daily movements with monotonous regularity. August contracts have shown no especial activity. To-day Liverpool was" slightly higher and sent a few buying orders here. The Chronicle report was good outside of Texas. Our market opened 1 point up, January selling on the first call at 7.18. It soon eased on free selling by New Orleans and sagged until the close, which was steady with 7.14 bid for January. The era of prosperity so long, and anxiously awaited, seems about to dawn upon the country. ' Our crops promise to be large, and bid fair to bring good prices. Stocks are on the boom. The daily papers are full of glowing items concerning almost every industry, and the atmosphere of the business world is impregnated with cheerfulness; and hope. The gratifying improvement in the dry' goods trade continues. Those things all undoubtedly favor cotton. Ex pectations of a" higher market here are quite general. They have been bolstered up by the daily increase in crop complaint from Texas. The general belief is that the bureau re port on Tuesday will be bullish. Favorable reports from all other sec tions than Texas, and fears that the movement of early cotton will be heavier than expected render buyers cautious, but does not check the en thusiasm of their predictions. Our belief in a very large crop is un changed and we cannot share the al most universal opinion concerning the near future of the market. . We deem it prudent, however, to sell it only with the greatest caution Bet ter reports must surely be received from Texas 'before there can be much decline. New York Special to The Charlotte Observer." Madrid, Spain, Aug. 9 The as sassination of Senior v- Canovas del Castillo, prime minister of Spain; at San ta Agueda yesterday by Anarch ist Colli, has thrown the ' city; and entire Spain into gloom. The body of the distinguished statesman was brought here by a special train today to lie in state. The assassin is a na tive of Naples. Segasta, who preceed Canoyas, has tendered his service to the Queen as successor, and will probably be ac cepted. General Ascarraga, minister of war, has been designated as provis ional ' premier marshal. Marshal Martinez Campos, has been summon ed to Madrid and will arrive to-morrow. It is generally thought the lib al cabinet will come into office. 'The official report of the assassination of Canovas says the murderer fired at a distance of one yard The first bul let struck the head and; traversed from the right to the left : temple. Canoyas arose but immediately, fell aga'n and tried to .regain his .feeV: While, in the attempt a second shot perforated his chest near the spine. He feir back unconscious and the third shot struck him while in that state. His wife was the first to reach his side.: To the assassin she cried "Murderer" whereupon he answered coolly, "I respect you because you are an honest lady but have fulfilled my duty and am satisfied with hav ing avenged my b others - of Mont Julieh!" Conovas did not . regain consciousness. The assassin was registered at the hotel a ,i correspond dent of an Italian newspaper, Polo. He has been imprisoned at Versrera ter. ' !' The body of Canovas will lie in Madrid and the public will be ad mitted; to view it. United States minister Taylor was the first foreign representative to offer expressions of condolence. State funeral ceremonies will be or dered by Koyall decree in . all the principal cities and towns - of Spain concurrently with the obsequies at Madrid. - - : Reported corner in Spot Cotton in ' St. LouisOne House : controls .

Jas. H.-Allen, of the ; Allen .West Commission Company, when asked to -day if there was a corner, replied in the negative: "This is the end of the cotton sea- son of 1896 and 1897," said le; "and cotton is mighty scarce at all the leading cotton point from New Or leans to St. Loui. t We . have, oyer 9,000 bales in the warehouses, and we are holding on fa it," as nearly half of: that cotton is.twa.years old.
