RESPONSE FEEBLE TO BETTER CABLES First Prices of Session Were at Advances of Only Five Points. . SOLD HIGHER LATER Profit Taking, Favorable Weather and Crop News Turned Prices Down. By Private I.eased,Wire. New York, Aug. 22.—The cotton .market had n poor opening in view of the cables. First prices- were & points higher. Pro fessional trading predominated early In the session, anil It looked ns though strong ef forts would be made to force n number of big accounts with weak margins to Until- date, and room traders ngulu started the movement. The opening for cotton for future deliv ery In Now York wus disappointing In that, while an advniice was noted. It was not a fell resjMUiso to the better advices from Liverpool, both s|K>t mid futures In that center being slightly lietter than due. As ou yesterday, however. better prices followed the opening, the high point of the previous day being passed, from which level the market turned dowuw’ard. taking of profits, favorable weather and liberal move ment of new cotton in Texas being the lu- fluciices. .The New York Herald, In Its review of the cotton market last Saturday, says: •'Sonic interests profeaa to have confi dence In a yield of, at least, 13,000,000 bales, while more conservative estimators regard 12.000,000 bales as the maximum figure, snd under the circumstance* It would seem that n miraculously line condition i.nist prevail from now on to give up a crop a million bules bitger than the Inst cue.

CHANGES SILL AT THEJPENING Commission Houses and London Were Heavy Sellers Early. CAUSED THE DECLINE After First Few Minutes Quiet Buying Stead ied Prices. By Private Leased Wire. New York. Aug. 23,—It was difficult dur ing the first two hours of today's trading to distinguish any tendency at all In the price movement. For the entire morning, the tide of speculation moved restlessly to nnd fro. At Intervals, creditable strength was shown; nt other times It ap peared that realizing sales were sufficient to fill every bid of speculators anxious to renew the rise. Generally, the trading by comparison with the previous days wss more sulHlued, anil the range of prices was much narrower. The feature of the morning was Great Northern preferred, which was bbl up vloieutly 10 |»oInt« from Its opening figures. Northern Pa cific rose briskly In sympathy, ami the near association which these stocks nt present have In speculative calculations, with the movement lu steel shares, caused the Inttef to lie held very firmly ou heavy declines. Elsewhere, net changes the morn Ing were generally small. The whole attitude of the speculative community was one of profound uncer tainty. • lu the stock market oiienlng changes for the most part showed irregular fractional changes. Union Pacific opened off 44, but recovered Its loss. Declines ns a rule av eraged 44 to 44. Amalgamated Copper open ed at a gain or 44 to 10844. then rose to 10944. Tho stock market's principal topic of dis cussion Is of the Grent Northern ore deal. Houses that have 1m*cw heavy buyers of regard to the ore contract Is very close to hand nnd may be mode today.
