CONDITION LARGELY LOCAL nil Loaders Have Handled Klajht t Hundred Thousand Dales on Spot Basis, Value nt Over Hslt Million. v " NEW TORK, Aug. 29. August cotton sold st 20 cents a pound In the New Tork cotton market today on urgent demand from spec ulative shorts who had postponed covering until the last momen t In the hope that the Increasing new crop movement In the southwest might break the control of the bull leaders. This price, the highest reached for cotton for any delivery since the civil war and exceeding by nearly 2Vfc cents per pound the highest In the famous bull year of -903-04, which until now stood as a standard for comparison, was regarded by many as the culminating point of the bull movement In progress hers for the last six months, during a season, which, when it ends next Thursday, will go down as the most spectacular in the annals of the cotton trade since war times. Not a great many bales perhaps 15,000 actually changed hands' on the advance from '16.82 cents, the. closing' of last week, to 20 cents for August this morning. .At '20 cents' sn offer from W. P..' Brown, one. of the bull leaders, to sell 100,000 bales checked the upward movement and It was the gen-, eral Impression around the ring that this was a level fixed . in the open market as a basis for settlement of the . entire August interest remaining. ''." . ' Later, however, . this view of the situa tion - was 'somewhat shaken by the fact that after reaching from 20 cents to 18.20 under scattered selling Of a few hundred bales, August again advanced on renewed buying by shorts, touching 19.90 in the afternoon, or within 10 points of the high record. At the close August was quoted at 19.76 bid, while the new crop months. which had been very quiet all day, were only four to nine points net higher. . ... ,,t .,, ..-.,-.-".. ' Advance Mostly Local. In the local spot- markets the price was marked up to 19.75, but the southern spot markets showed no such gain, the greatest advance recorded being o at Savannah, showing the local character of the extensive advance. In all the bull leaders have handled spot cotton to the amount of 800.000 bales, valued approximately at M5.000.000. But the bulk of this has been shipped abroad and Just how much of It has been actually sold and how much of It may now be held on' consignments at foreign points Is uncertain. Inasmuch, however, as the bulls have handled contracts for many thousand 'bales in excess of those upon which they have actually received cotton, they have undoubtedly taken large specu lative profits, no matter how their deal may turn out when their last bale of cotton has been sold. In the New York stock they still own about 100,000 bales. Rumors circulating tn the trade, after the close of business today was that there was still considerable August short Inter est outstanding which has until noon Wednesday to cover.. At that hour trading In August Is over and with It ends all business of the crop season, l'JOO-10. Reports concerning the new crop prospect have been confusing , Owing to the drouth In the southwest, deterioration has been reported In that section, but weather con ditions over other parts of the cotton belt since the first of August havs been con sidered much more favorable, and some reports have shown considerable improve ment. The next government report will be Issued at noon Friday, and owing to the conflicting nature of recent private advices, opinion as to the showing vary largely. Bolls' Work to Continue. It is understood In the trade, however, thst the operators who have gained such prestige on the bull side of the market will now turn their attention to bulling new crop months. They have issued a cir cular outlining their reasons for expeot lng higher prices, but that this action on their part was not unbiased was naturaUy suggested, as any statement tending to enhance the value of the new crop would make a better market for winding up odds and ends of ths old, and for dispos ing of the large supply of spot cotton still Supposed to remain In their hands. Opinions as to whether the bulls will extend their operations In the new crop months are conflicting. Some thing that the old crop campaign will be carried through September st any rate, but as the new crop sess-jn opens on next Thursday, und aa new crop cotton Is now moving rapidly from the southwest, the weight of the new maturing crop must be figured upon. seats In the partial shelter of curtains, "Ruffles" huddled upon a beam squarely over the wheels.

Crip pen, the American, doctor, and Ethel Clare Leneve, his typist, were accused of the murder of Belle Elmore, the former's wife, In the formal charge read to them In the Bow street police court today. Miss Leneve was charged also with haruorlng and main taining Crippen after the crime and while knowing fiat he committed it. During proceedings Inspector Drew, who brought the prisoners back from Canada, Introduced evidence to show that Crippen contemplated suicide, while at sea, follow ing his flight from this country. Crippen was quoted also as declaring that his com panion knew nothing of the trouble In which he was Involved, and Miss Leneve was ssld to have protested her Innocence. There was special Interest in the character of the formal charge, as the Canadian war rant for the arrest of the fugitives had merely landed at their door responsibility for the death of an unknown woman, whose body was found In the cellar of the Crip pen home at HUldrop Crescent. Sapposltlt'ons Identification. - The fact that both were today accused of the murder of Bella Elmore, the actress wife of the doctor, leads to the supposition that ths mutilated body has been identified to the satisfaclon of the authorities. It also suggests that the police believe they have further evidence concerning Miss Leneve's connection with the tragedy than they have made known heretofore. Today's proceedings constated of ths introduction of evidence against the accused, at the con clusion of which they were remanded until September 6, without having pleaded or made any comment in reply to ths charge against them.
