The feature of the markets to-day was
the drop in cotton, which was bulletined
at the Cotton Exchange at the opening
call. Good middling went oft % dent, and
basis middling % cent. At the decline
the market was easy, with a light busi
ness doing, and small lots of cotton offer
ing.
The cotton futures market closed steady,
with prices 3 to 20 points lower. The drop
was due to a bad Liverpool and favorable
crop news. Showers were reported in the
central and eastern portions of the South,
and clear weather in the western part.
The spirits 'turpentine market closed
firm at 36 cents, with a moderate demand.
The trade inclines to a better feeling as
to firmness, though it is not entirely as
sured that the market is fortified against
further declines. Few opinions are ven
tured as to the outcome, which seems at
present to be doubtful. The rosin mar
ket closed firm at the inside prices for
the two higher grades, which closed five
rents up yesterday as the outside price.
The produce markets were steady. Eggs
are still strong by reason of scarcity.
The wholesale markets were steady. The
following resume of the different markets

COTTON FUTURES.
Market Closed Steady at Deeline of
:t to 20 Point*.
New York, Aug. 25 —The market for
cotton futures opened steady at a decline
of 3 to 15 points. The break was pri
marily due to a severe tumble in the
Liverpool market, generally better news
from the crop center, and to a friendly
■ Chronicle” summary of the week just
etuied. Liquidation was the leading fea
ture of early speculation, though bear
pc unding occupied a prominent port In
business throughout the session. The
commission' house and wire element were
the chief buyers on the down turn, pre
sumably for profits, and but for this
support the market would doubtless have
declined sensationally on the opening
Private cables declared the English mar
ket had weakened) under a storm of gen
eral selling hosed upon our late break,
and the more encouraging crop accounts.
The local market was very nervous, till
the forenoon with the bears having things
their own way much of the time. Re
ceipts showed a disposition to pile up
more rapidly and conservative estimates
pointed to a heavy forward movement
next week. Southern spot markets were
described as weak and tending down un
der free offerings. The government weath
er reports showed further showers ovr
the central and eastern portions of the
crop country, with fine clear weather in
the western belt. The crop testimony
was generally good as compared with
that received early in the week.
Future* closed steady with prices, net,
2 to 20 points lower.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York, Aug. 25.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Further rains were reported in some sec
tions of the Atlantic states this morning,
bringing needed moisture to the cotton
crop and placing the plant in better condi
tion tlvan- before this month. While the
rainfeHl 4n the Carolinas has not been
sufficient, there were gome showers re
ported over night, with the weather con
ditions unsettled and favorable to addi
tional precipitation. Liverpool lost from
two to four points, considerably more than
the dtaoliine here yesterday, and with
many shorts covered, there was little de
mand for cotton during the early deal
ing. Better weather and improved re
ports from the cotton belt leaves the si’ •
uation decidedly less favorable to buyers
than the market of a week ago. and, os
has been the case since rains begun on
Tuesday, supporting orders appear to
have been withdrawn for the moment.
On the other hand, the constantly dimin
ishing stocks of cotton and the smallness
of the receipts from the new crop pre
vent short selling, and the market sags
slowly from the pressure of offerings
The Chronicle report showed better weath
er conditions in the cotton belt.
New York. Aug. 25 —Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: The immediate deliveries in
Liverpool to-day were decidedly weaker
op pressure to dispose of the holding's be
fore the new cotton conies in competi
tion 1 . In answer to these advices August
here was the weakest delivery, the offer
ings of this delivery on <he opening call
breaking the market badly. Covering of
the new drops on the basis of 8.25 c for
January, was the main support to prices,
and this prevented any sharp break. Our
local traders were disposed to look for
a rally in Liverpool on Monday, from the
break of to-day, and were buyers on that
theory. Receipts are expected to be light
relatively, and to sustain the present basis
unless, indeed spinners refuse to go on. ex
cept at the rates of the winter positions.

STOCKS AND RONDS.
Genernl Weakness 'i ll run ghaut ilie
Stock Market.
New York, Aug. 25.—Weakness was
pretty generally manifest throughout the
entire stock market to-day, but as the of
ferings of stocks were only fairly large
in Brooklyn Transit, not much of an in
road was made on prices. Early hesi
tancy was succeeded by a rising market,
but the entire list weakened in the late
trading on the publication of the bank
statement and liquidation in Brooklyn
Transit.
Numerous favorable weekly statements
of earnings came to hand, but their show
ings were without avail in sustaining
prices. Respecting the recent activity
and strength in St. Louis, Southwestern,
the July statement made known to-day
is explanatory. The report showed a
gain of 60 per cent, in net earnings over
the corresponding time a year ago. Esti
mates as to the extent to which the
banks had recouped themselves on sub
treasury operations and the Interior cur
rency movement for the cash lost last
week was not borne out in the official re
port. The discrepancy is thought to be
due to the complicated system of aver
ages which does not indicate the bank's
real strength.
United States refunding 2s, when issued,
declined 44, but the new 4s advanced
1 per cent, in the bid price. The total
sales of stocks to-day were 56,700 shares,
including Brooklyn Transit, 20,775.
