Morning News Office, Aug. 9.
The feature of the markets to-day was
the advance in rosins, which went up at
he opening on the .ower grades. At the
advance it was not understood there was
a very spirited demand, however, and
while the official market was firm, it
was reported the undertone was quiet.
Whether the advances are to be main
tained remains to be seen. Buyers were
inclined not to enter the market during
the iate hours, which may mean accu
mulation in factors’ hands and a drop in
prices later. The turpentine market closed
firm at 39% cents, with a fair demand for
the offerings. The cotton market closed
nominal and unchanged. The wholesale
markets were steady. The following re
sume of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations at the closing
. l i-Ma.

COTTON FI TI RES.
• —————
August 20 rnints t'p and Others 3 to
4 Higher.
New York. Aug. 29.—The market for cot
ton futures was not active so far as open
ing new accounts was concerned, hut a
very considerable business was done in
the way of winding up old ones. This
was largely due to the fact that opinions
regarding the character of the govern
ment crop report to-morrow have been a
g®od d<al mixed and prudence led many of
the traders to clos' their contracts. In this
way the market was active. The South,
however, continued to he pretty heavy
sellers and crop accounts from private
sources were generally bearish enough,
although later in the session views were
disturbed by hot winds in Arkansas, ex
cessive rains in Texas and drought in
the Atlantic states. After opening steady
at an advance of 8 points to a decline of
1 po nt follow'ng fairly favorable Liver
pool cables end some foreign support, the
market gave way under local pressure
supplementtd by Southern selling orders
which were quite generous throughout
the session. The opening advance was lost
before nocn. Again the market became
firmer; prices advanced 9® 11 from the
lowest on a very active demand from the
shorts. Still later prices broke Bgl2 points.
Throughout the session a nervous feeling
prevailed. The market was finally bare
ly steady with August 2t points higher
and otter months 3 to 4 po nts higher.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York. Aug. 9.—Murphy & Cos. say:
The action of to-day's cotton market was
very similar to that of yesterday. Not
withstanding fairly favorable news from
Liverpool, our market only responded
feebly at the opening, and turned easy on
Southern selling, Buying orders basis 8.10
for January checked the decline, and on
further buying for New Orleans and Liv
erpool, prices advanced sharply. The feel
ing' is very nervous. Crop reports unfa
vorable in some sections of Arkansas and
Car iinas, where rain is needed.
Fvrt Smith. Ark., wires: "Rain would
be beneficial; some damage from drought
and hot winds."
Operators are anxiously awaiting bureau
report to-morrow. The market has eased
off about six points from the opening. It
is reported that Neil will shortly issue a
bullish circular, crop estimate being re
duced.
Col ion ruled active and erratic to-day.
Liverpool advanced l-16d on spots; mid
dlings, 5%d; sales only 4,000 bales. Fu
tures closed at a ret advance of 3-64 to
4-64d, which was fully up to expectation.
After ruling easy around the opening,
an advance of 5 points was paid for act
ive months, owing to covering of sales
and some new buying, in anticipation of
the bureau report to-morrow showing
only a small improvement in condition
over the July report of 75.8. and as the
condition on Aug. 10, 1899. was 84. the com
parison might have a stimulating influ
ence on the market, as some complaints
coming in of dry weather in Arkansas
where the crop has heretofore been im
proving steadily. It Is a weather mar
ket. and likely to be easily influenced by
latest advices from the belt, and as the
crop was materially reduced by the hot
and dry weather last August, close at
tention will be paid to the dally advices
during the remainder of this month. It
is well to bear In mind that the weather
conditions must be perfect from now to
make average crop.
New York. Aug. 9.-Hubbard Bros A
Cos say: The foreign markets have shown
strength to-day equal to the firmness here
yesterday, giving support to values on this
side. Covering by the shorts before the
bureau report to-morrow was met by
liquidation of long cotton to that, more
than supplied the anxious demand. There
is little improvement in the demand for
cotton goods either here or in Manchester.
Crop conditions as compiled from private
advices and the weather maps indicate a
further improvement. Texas reporting
clear weather at noon.
DRY GOODS.
New York. Aug. 9.-No change in char
acter of business in heavy brown cottons,
demand slow and prices irregular. Bleach
ed cottons steady. Wide sheetings in fair
demand. Denims Inactive and irregular,
no movement of any moment In other
coirso colored cottons. Prints In steadily
improving demand, general stocks here
quite moderate. Print cloths inactive but
trally. Cambrics and other cotton lin
ings dull and easy to buy. No change
in the woolen goods division.
The Rice Market.
While the rice market during the week
was devoid of any exciting feature there
was a strong, steady demand in both
domestk- and foreign: former volume of
business fully sustained. Individually con
sidered. there is manifest conservatism,
but under generally short stocks the ie
quirements of the trade for ordinary re
supply call for n sufficient quantity to
keep prices taut. Present exceptional con
ditions will undoubtedly maintain until
new crop shall come forward In liberal
amount, and such is not expected before
the middle of September, and possioly
well into October. So far as can be as
certained. arrivals prior to that time will
be light and likely to command fancy
figures.
Advices from the South note enlarged
offerings which are finding ready sale nt
full recent quotations. The evident will
ingness of first honds to market, is by no
means an indication of any liberal forward
supply, on the contrary, holdings have
never been less; the freer selling simply
due to a desire on the part of the factors,
to close accounts for the season, and not
to any lack of confidence in regard 10
values. Latest news from nearly every
rice-growing section is highly satisfactory,
and under continuation of present favor
ing condition* the outcome In the South
west. (Louisiana ami Texas), will largely
exceed that of any previous year. The
first of the new crop, (36 sacks), arrived
ip New Orleans, Wednesday lest, and was
promptly sold at 35.25 per barrel. It
proved of excellent quality and might be
classed as prime—unusual In first arri
vals Other sample lots may be expected
from day to day. but no receipts of mark
ed importance for some weeks to come.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, Aug. 9.—Quot a (ions were
hardly more than nominal in the stock
market to-day. There was not a single
feature of striking interest in the day's
trading and the aggregate number of
shares sold fell below a hun<lred thousand
for the first time in several years in a full
trading day. There was a disposition to
disregard the weakness reflected from
London, in spite of the fact that sales for
London account ran up to 8,000 shares,
which is a large total compared with the
recent average, but the declines which re
sulted here were hardly more than mo
mentary.
The price changes during the latter part
of the day were scarcely appreciable in
most of the stocks traded in and the aver
age level of prices shows an insignificant
change on the day. It was noticeable,
however, that in any individual stock in
which a large order was executed the re
sulting prices movement was wide. Chica
go and Northwestern, for which there was
a buying order for several thousand
shares, was a conspicuous example, run
ning up nearly four point*. A number
of lately dormant stocks ran off sharply
on selling orders. Buffalo. Rochester and
Pittsburg rose 4 points on a single trans
action. Realizing in rubber cost that stock
two points. The decision reported by the
syndicate which underwrote the American
allotment of the newr British exchequer
bonds not to ship gold on Saturday
caused some surprises, in view of the
obvious fact that the Bank of England
based its maintenance of its existing dis
count rate on the expectation of early re
ceipts of gold from the United States
The decline in sterling exchange which
fell back to 4.88 for demand, however, took
away the profit on exports. It transpires
that a part of the consideration for the
allotment of over half the exchequer bond
issue to Anglo-America!) houttes was an
agreement that the payment should be
made in gold to the extent of Jlo.iiiiiC.fHlo.
and it is said that the Bank of England
allows nine days’ interest at 3 per cent,
on the shipments. The bank, in addition,
raised its price for American eagles to-day
a full penny an ounce, to 76 shillings 5
pence. This action may be prompted by
the renewed competition for gold by Parts,
which came as a surprise to the money
market. As to our own money market the.
payment by the banks to the sub-treasury
for the gold bars exporled has wiped out
their earlier gains from that institution,
and established a loss of $2,385,000. The
Interior currency movement, however, con
tinues largely In favor of New York and
with speculation practically atatfnant. Call
money fell to-day to 1 per cent.
There was nothing of importance in the
bond market. Total sales, par value.
$705.(810. United States new 4 s declined %
in the bid price.
Total sales of stocks to-day were 90,200,
including Union Pacific 8,885; Sugar, 16,920.
