Local and Telegraphic Markets.
Morning News Office, Aug. 15.
The feature of the markets to-day was
the slight weakness shown in the rosin
market, which closed unchanged, with the
tone steady. Asa general thing this is
taken as indicative of weakness. There
was not a very great demand for rosins
during the day, eo that it will not be sur
prising to the trade if changes in quota
tions follow. The turpentine market clos
ed firm at 39% cents, with the demand fair,
and factors still making considerable de
liveries. The cotton market closed nomi
nal and unchanged, with no sales report
ed at the Cotton Exchange. The topic
which is just now interesting the local
cotton trade is the repeal of the forfeiture
rule. Since the rule is being ignored,
however, it is not giving the trade any
trouble, except the harm it does in divert
ing cotton to other ports. The wholesale
markets were steady and unchanged. The
following resume of ths different mar
kets will show the tone and quotations at
the closing to-day:
COTTON.
The cotton market closed nominal and
unchanged to-day, with no sales reported
at the Cottcn Exchange, The day's re
ceipts were 6 hales, against 109 last year.
There is considerable talk among the
trade at present about the repeal of the
forfeiture rule, which it seems will be
wiped out for the present at the next
meeting of the Exchange.

COTTOX FI TI RES.
The Market Clones Sternly With
Price* C to 8 Higher.
New York, Aug:. 15.—The market for cot
ton futures opened barely steady with
price 1 to 6 points lower and ruled gener
ally weak during the forenoon owing to
bear aggression and an absence of any
thing like bull defense. The lending sell
ers of yesterday started in on the call to
depress prices still further and to dis
lodge weak long stuff. The cables were
sized up as of bearish average, the crop
intelligence was encouraging as a whole,
while the weather reports told of needed
rains In the Eastern belt and tolerably
clear conditions West of the Mississippi
valley. At the lowest point of the fore
noon prices were 6 to 8 points under ihe
closing of last night, making the net loss
since Monday night 22 to 29 points. At
noon shorts began to manifest uneasiness
owing to the apparent oversold condition
of the market and belief that the long
interest had been pretty well eliminated.
From a feeling of nervousness shorts sub
sequently became positively frightened
and were soon in full rom. Covering was
stimulated by a forecast for dry weather
over the entire belt to-night and to-mor
row and predictions for continued light
receipts. On the upturn the forenoon loss
was not only recovered, but a considera
ble portion of yesterday’s decline w'as
wiped out. During the balance of the
session the market was extremely fever
ish with a tolerably Arm undertone. The
close was steady with August 1 point,
other months 5 to 8 points higher.

f'OTTO\ LETTERS.
New York, Aug. 15 —Murphy & Cos. say:
Liverpool showed great weakness this
morning, a private cable said thak the
market was influenced by the fact that
Neill was bearish. On this head New Or
leans wires: “Intimate friends say Neill
impartial as to crop, but bearish on trade
outlook." Our market has ruled nervous,
and easy this morninx. longs an 1 South
sold freely, considering the mode-ate vol
ume of trading io-da}. very little out
side buying. No rainfcfil in Texas, dry
weather needed. Good rains at five points
in Georgia where it is badly reeled. Rain
is needed in the Atlantic states Ellison
& Cos. estimate surplus stock at European
mills on Ist instant 880.000 bales vs. 871.-
000 last year, which is ample, in view of
the present trade conditions. It is a
weather market, and#unless very favora
ble reports received next few days, fur
ther bulge is expected.
Cotton advanced obout 12 points between
noon and 2 p. m. Liverpool and local buy
ing ard moderate offerings, owing to con
tinued dry weather In the Memphis
district causing nervous feeling’’ about crop
corditi ns. despite improvement in the
weather advices from Tvxas and portions
of Georgia. Fxp ct good Liverpool cables
to-morrow.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
More Uniformity Shown In the Ad
vancing Tendency.
New York. Aur. 15.—T0-day's stock
market was in many respects a counter
pait cf the early trading of the week.
There was, however, mere uniformity to
the advancing tendency, exceptions being
limited to only a few stocks. A distinc
tive broadening to the dealings aroused
optimism in some quarters as to possi
ble early participation in ihe market by
the public
As an offset the hears dwelt on the de
pletlcn of New York City Bank reserves
cos, quent uptn the gold exports and the
usual contraction in gtneral business in
a presidential election season. While the
bark statement on Saturday will have to
reflect upwards of $11,000,00> gold shipped,
It is expected that the loss In the sur
plus reserves of the banks will he largely
offset by the receipts of gold from Pacific
coast points. Interior currency movement
and gains from the sub-treasury. The lat
ter Institution will have to disburse to
the hanks la er In the week some $20,000.-
000 through the redemption of the old
govern m nt 2s.
Money rates here to-day continued easy,
but an easy tendency was noted In dis
counts in London which caused long ster
ling bills to harden here and the posted
figures were marked up % cent. It Is
■rated that further go’d shipments at a
profit are Impossible at current rates for

announcement late in the day that the
report would not he published for sever
al weeks wiped out pretty much all that
rise. Operations in ihe steel group were
within narrow limits and they closed
somi what off on bear pressure due to an
other decline in warrants. Raiir. ad stocks
particularly the Granger group, received
good support, hut they suffered in com
mon with the general list in the selling
movement near (he close.
At intervals to-day individual groups
were singled out for an advance, and as
the room traders generally followed what
appeared to be good buying, other stocks
received less attention and usually lost
ground. Sugar People's Gas and Consoli
dated Gas were conspicuous features in
the market at different times, but in only
the latter was there any material effect
left cf the demand, a net gain of 3*4 points
being established. Sentiment abroad was
reported to be more favorably inclined to
ward American railroads and London took
almost 1(HW0 shares of stock. Profit tak
ing was Indulged in in the late dealings,
and Ihe market gave way all around, end
ing under pressure.
More business was transacted in rail
road bonds to-day than for some time,
and there was a decided upward tenden
cy for some issues, particularly Atchison
adjustments, St. Louis Southwestern 2s
and Wabash debentures. Total sales par
