THK AT!, A NT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS'. 11 [ Manuscript of Zola Novel Sought ■ For Years for French Government. NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—A nation wide hunt by an American corres pondent of Mme. Zola for the manu script of Emile Zola’s novel of Paris gutter life "Nana” has resulted in finding the original copy of this story in the J. P. Morgan collection in this city. "Nana” is the only one of the Zola manuscripts that is not in the possssion of the French Government. The ot.iers were given by Mme. Zola. Neither she nor the collectors for the Government have yet been informed where the "Nana” manuscript is. Government Owns Others. J. P. Morgan said yesterday that the manuscript was in his collection and that according to his records it was the only one not owned by the Government of France. Mme. Zola was looking for the manuscript and that no request for it had ever come to him from the French Government or the widow of the novelist. Mr. Morgan said that he did not know what his attitude would be if such a request should be made. It probably will be made to Mr. Morgan within a few days by Guyot Cameron, for merly professor of French in Prince ton University, who has been com missioned by Mme. Zola to locate the manuscript. An Old Friend of the Zolas. Mr. Cameron formely lived in Paris and is an old friend of the Zola fam ily. His search began several years ago with scant clues. The proprietor of a book-shop in Paris remembered having sold the manuscript to an American, and that was about all Mr. Cameron 4iad to work on. He made an exhaustive investigation in this country by correspondence and per sonal search among dealers and pri vate collectors in various cities; but the discovery finally came when a friend told Mr. Cameron that he had seen the "Nana” manuscript listed in the Morgan collection in a foreign S aper at the time of the death of J. P. I organ. Sr. He will write the story of its dis covery to Mme. Zola and ill probably ask Mr. Morgan for the manuscript in her behalf. 1 1 1 OpenlHJgh |Low 1 ,Noon 1 Prev. 1 Close. Aug. . . .

COTTON MARKET NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Continued dry weather over Texas and Oklahoma led to further buying at the opening of the cotton market to-day and first prices were 1 to 5 points higher than the clos ing quotations of Wednesday. August made the best gain. There was a great deal of warehouse buying. After the call further bullish advices relative to the weather were received and prices advanced still further. There was no rains shown on the map, which was an incentive for buying, but there is disturbance In the Gulf, which local weather experts claim may bring rain in the next two days over the West ern belt. This is causing hesitancy on the part of bulls to buy aggressively. Every one seemed to await the noon de tailed weather report to see how high the temperatures may run and whether or not the local experts are correct in their predictions. The volume of trad ing was small and the range was very narrow throughout the early session.

"Meanwhile, the market Is very nar row. and a light excess of buying or selling orders serves to move values a little way. Damage reports are begin ning to come in from the west in suf ficient number to cause some concern, and the Gulf storm, which big-yield men now depend on to bring rains to Texas, is only in process of formation and may not form at all. Dry weather advices are causing some shorts to cover.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—Holders of all grains Indulged in liberal selling at the beginning of the session of the Board of Trade this morning and values showed sharp recessions in conse quence. Corn led the other markets in the matter of losses, the decline in this cereal amounting to 1 to 1%. Rains were reported in the northern half of the belt, the section visited yesterday, and this was largely responsible for the throwing over of lines by longs. Slight recoveries were made from the initial decline on covering by shorts. The selling of wheat was not as pro nounced as seen in the corn market, and losses in this line were %c to %c. Rains were reported in our own, aa well as the Canadian, Northwest, but they were not sufficient to prevent har vesting. Liverpool market was %d higher, being influenced by steady American cables of yesterday and rainy weather in the Volga region of Russia These were partially offset in the big English market by a weak open ing at Paris and generally favorable weather for harvest in Europe. Oats showed losses of %c to %c from the weakness in corn the principal In fluence. There was little doing in the provision market at the opening ahd the range of prices was quite irregular The hog market was reported as steady to shade higher. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
