Speculation Small. Nsw Yotk, J una 1. In eotton prices have shown more tendency to recede, owing to more favorable crop reports at time. Still the ..weather and crop news has cut both ways.' Early in the week tho ginners report putting the condition as high ss ?9.4 per cent, when everybody had been looking for aboui 70 per cent was a wet blanket for the market It sent p'ices down sharply, Also there were seme favorable reports from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and parts of the eastern section of the belt. Good stands are rt pirted in Texas and some other parts of the belt. But later on a new factor came up. It was dry, hot weather over large portion of the belt.. These new eondltUase were rather strikingly reflected in the last weekly government raport which shows that over a large traet of colt n count y temperatures had been abnormally high and the rainfall abnormally low The fact that there was so I'ttle rain during the past week accouabad-for the rapid recovery of prices, after the de pression following the publication of the National Ginhers' report last Mon day. Cotton goods have not sold so freely. Manchester reports have not been of so bouyant a character as they wero some time ago The speculation here has flagged, At times well known interests with extensive Southern con nections have been selling very freely. Some of the spot people have sold to a certain extent and the same is true of commission houses in and out of Wall -(reet. On the other hand the late hot dry weather in Texas and other parts if tho belt, including the Atlantic roc tons, has had a atimulating effect nn the market. The shorts have covered with precipitancy. Somiof the large Wall Street and spot interests have b Mght to soma extent Southern in terests willed vt una tliua auitrtrave lat terly been buy ing. Finally the buying by spinners has been a noteworthy fea ture.. It has encouraged me duiis not alittie. Everybody 'is now awaiting th government report of Juno 14. Norden puts the condition at 78 5 per cent., with an average rrdution in the acreage of 7 per cent. This caused mo derate selling. Whether mosquitoes bite or not th?y are carriers of disease germs.

General' Mot- teagudes, who anived at the front- ai Comma id- r in-chi f of the Cuban gen ernl forces ia bt in)? closely watched here. His success or failure is expect ed to forecast the federal govemri.ent's ability to cope with the situation. Should rebel bands continue to attack foreign property it M possible th United States will send a fleet of small vesselj to varioua points boderihg the rebel zone to have the ma.ir.es ready for immediate action. In army circles here failure of the federal force to mike heuiiway against the rebels is believed t be due to the fact that the goverrmeni forces were compelled to place t' u;i solves on the' defensive by dividing Uf aTd attempt ing to furnish small dotaehmenis to many foreign proper; i(s which are de manding protection.

Afterde liberating two hours and a half the Jury in the case of Claude Swtnson Al'en Saturday afternoon found the young msn guilty of murder in the second de gree for the killing of Judge Thornton L, Massie, and recommended that his punishment be fixed at fifteen years in the State Penitentiary at Richmond. Sentence was suspended in order that toe prisoner may testify in the other cases growing out of the shooting up of CarroH county eourt on March 14th last when the Ive persons met their deaths at t)ie hands of the Allen clain. The verdict rendtred does not mean that Claude Allen has escaped the elec tric chair. Four othtr indictment against him are pending, on aoy one cf which it is possible that he bs found guilty of first degree murder, and the prosecution, taking advantage of this fact, sprung a surprise on the defence when it announced that it would next go into tho trial of Claude Allen for the murder of Sheriff Lewis Webb. The defense raised objection to this, and the objection will be argued and passed up on when court reconvenes July 1st. Judge Staples gave instructions for the summoning of a venire to report on July ,2, and remarked that he did not h litve a jury cou'd be recured from Wythe aounty. The prosecution im mediately made a move that a venire oe summoned from another county, the defente objecting. After witnesses had been exami ed as to the probability of another jury being secured in Wythe, the court ordered a venire nf one hun dred to bo summoned from Washington county. The ease just ended was given to the jury atSO and the first ballot taken stood nine for second degree murder, two for first degree and one for man slaughter. The second ballot was un animous.
