The feature ot the markets to-day was
on advance ot % cent on all grades of
cotton, which was posted at the opening
ca l The advance did not bring out a
great deal of cotton, however, due to the

their holdings until the best is in sight.

Sidi cents, following up the < pening, which
was s eady at 37 cents It is not believ

COTTON FUTURES.
Tho Clone Steady. With Anßnat fl Up
and Other* S®lo Off.
New York. Aug. 22.—The early cotton
market was a comparatively narrow one
with the volume of speculation small.
Trading was quite local. At the opening
the general feeling was barely steady,
with prices 5 points to 2 points lower.
The market developed a nervous feeling,
which continued throughout the session.
Early cables were unsatisfactory, and for
a time, right after the opening, the feel
ing was toward higher prices on cover
ing by some of the smaller shorts, who
were easily frightened owing to the con
flicting character of crop news from pri
vate sources, and rather a better run of
later cables. It became apparent, how
ever, that outside orders were not at
tracted by the more bullish overtures,
and also that the larger shorts were not
covering. This brought on anew selling
movement, and the market again weak* ti
ed #nd showed a nervous feeling To
ward the close the market weakened bad
ly under heavy liquidation and bear ham
mering, based on reports of heavy rains
In the Mississippi valley region, and rap
idly falling temperature In the Atlantic
states. The market closed steady, 5
points higher on August, but 8 to 10 points
lower on other month*.

COTTON LETTERS.
New Y'ork, Aug. 22—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos., say: Liverpool again disappointed
the trade by failing to advance in answer
to our strength of yesterday. Our mar
ket remains a small one, with the local
trade bullish on the absence of rain
worthy of mention in the South. Scat
tered showers are reported in North Caro
lina and on the coast of Georgia, and
South Carolina, with a low barometer
predicted about central Hatteras. Rains
are predicted only for the coast, strangely
the commission houses identified with the
Atlantic states, have been the largest sell
ers to-day. Private advices received
about noon, report raining at Selma, Dem
opolie and Birmingham. Ala., also Merid
ian. Miss. The crop needs a good general
rain over the entire country, except
Texas. Showers were reported from Ala
bama and the Memphis district during
the afternoon, causing liquidation towards
the close.
New York. Aug. 22 —Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton in Liverpool advanced J-32d on
spots, sales 4,000 bales. Futures closed at
an advance of 2-64d on near and l-t>4d up
to unchanged on lare positions. This mar
ket rule.i nervous and erratic considering
the small volume of out-of-town trading,
the busine-s being mostly confined to
New Orleans and Peal profess onals.
Some rainfall leported in G orgia and
the Carolinaß, but not general enough to
attract attention on lesser complaints of
damage by drought and daily deteriora
tion of conditions over the Atlantic
states, and the Memphis district. The
short interest b ing large and nervous
will hold the market on any decline.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Aug. 22.—There has been no
better demand than before for brown
sheetings end drills on home account and
export business is still light. Prices irreg
ular. Bleached muslins steady but busi
ness limited. Wide sheetings slow and
unchanged. Cotton flannels and blankets
inactive. More doing in prints at pre
vious prices. Ginghams quiet but steady.
Print cloths inactive at previous price**.
Men’s wear woolens and worsteds dull and
irregular in price. Dress selling moderate
ly in staple lines and slowly in fancies.
NAVAL STORKS.
Wednesday, Aug. 22.

ing call sales of 586 casks were reported
at 37 cents, and at the closing call fur
ther sales of 170 casks at 36Vfc cents. The
declining tendency seems to have been
pretty well established, and as a conse
quence the trade are prepared for any
thing that comes. The day’s receipts
were 1,458, and the exports none.

STOCKS AND RONDS.
New Y'ork, Aug. 22.—The level of prices
was not materially changed as a result
of to-day's trading in stocks. In fact, the
fluctuations in the most prominent rail
roads did not exceed 2% per cent., and in
only u few specialties was the range a
point. Conditions underlying the general
situation are the main topic of discus
sion in the street, and it apparently re
quires unusual developments to extricate
the market from the rut into which it
has fallen.
With operations pretty generally limit
ed to the trading element who close their
contracts from day to day, not much im
portance can be attached to current mar
l ket movements. Some effort was made
at the opening to continue yesterday's
late reaction, but supporting orders ap
peared in Brooklyn Transit and Peoples
Gas which strengthened the entire list.
Consolidated Gas was in demand and rose
almost 2 points on buying inspired by its
early restoration to an 8 per cent, annual
dividend basis. A subsequent attack was
made on Peoples Gas, the price going
down 1% and remaining under last night
until the final dealings. No definite news
has developed to uccount for the recent
pronounced pressure against this stock.
Statements that no agreement was
reached in the conference between the
various steel companies and labor organ
izations was without any effect on the
steel properties which are largely neglec
ted. Business was at a standstill during
the greater part of the afternoon, but to
ward the close there was a slight spurt
and prices rose to the best figures of the
day on covering of shorts. Conspicuous
strength was displayed by St. Louis
Southwestern preferred and Northwest,
which advanced a point, the latter ignor
ing a falling off in its gross earnings for
July of $110,711. General Electric declined
2 points on sales influenced by the lack of
corroboration of recent favorable rumors.
Canadian Pacific yielded a point on ap
prehension of labor difficulties and West
ern Union almost as much on unusually
heavy transactions. London traded on
both sides of the account, but the aggre
gate of transactions was small. The sub
treasury statement shows that the loss to
the banks at the close of business yester
day was almost $5,000,000.
The bond market was irregular to-day
on moderate dealings. Total sales par
value $733,000.
U. S. refunding 2s when Issued advanced
% in the bid price.
The total sales of stocks to-day were
83,800 shares, including Southern Pacific,
9,700; Brooklyn. 7,150; Peoples Gas, 12,800;
Sugar, 3,335.

Haney that was blinding. At the same In
stant a loud hiss or swishing sound struck
(he ears of the man and woman, and sim
ultaneously, It seemed, a blazing mass, not
more than ten yards ahead, struck the
earth. The roadway trembled under tha
mighty Impact. The occupants of the bug
gy were nearly overcome by the appall
ing spectacle, while the horse stood
trembling In Its tracks.
Mr. Monroe alighted from the buggy,
and led the horse to the spot where tha
aerolite had struck. The only trace of the
celestial visitor was a volume of steam,
which rose from the spot, Indicating tha
presence of water. Mrs. Monroe wa
made quite 111 by the shock, and the couple
were obliged to atop at a farm house for
the night.
