Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
Though cables from Liverpool this morning
| showed an advance and considerable f1rmness
! our market opened quietly at about the closing
prices OF Saturday. Some little interest was
manifested during the early hours as TO what
! the bureau report would bring. The result
| shows that the reiterated reports of damage
| done by rains and floods had been pretty we'll
| discounted in prices heretofore ruling, and
| when II was announced that the bureau gave
the condition of the crop as SIS, it was gen
| orally conceded that the effects of the weather
| had been overeStmated, and the market
dragged off gradually, closing at about 497
| points below the opening While the demand
| OF ocean freight and insurance impede bust
| ness, and the poor and unsatisfactory quality
| OF the little cotton now coming forward is
| likely to place premium on better grades

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 10, noon.-wheat quiet; de
mand poor; supply good. Corn firm; demand
poor
The stock market was somewhat irregular
and feversh at generally lower prices to-day,
| heavy trading in low priced shares being the
feature of the dealings, as well as the unusually
| large number of stocks traded in. There was
a renewal of attacks upon St Paul, with free
renlizatons in most of the active list, but the
most determined drive was made at grangers
at the last hour. by which all the list was
affected and the majority are consequently
lower this evening Early figures from London
this morning were lower than the prices of Sat
urday. and the bears Immediately attacked st.
| Paul, which London also sold with some others
The general list however, exhibited strong
| Tone and soon broke away from st. Paul, while
! a number of inactive StocHs developed marked
| strength. Hooking Valley leading the general
| list, sympathzed with these stocks, and before
noon most OF the list showed small gains for
tine morning worR. The improved tone, how
ever gave way later, ard these advances were
| generally wiped ont. though the characters of
the dealings underwent no changes. Among
the stocks showing usual strength to-day were
the stocks of small coal companies, though the
stocks of great coal carrying roads were
rather sluggish as a rule. Northern Pacific
groups also displayed considerable firmne IS
especially late, though only Oregon Improve
ment Company made any rise. The drive was
renewed after the delivery hour with great
force, and while grangers were the principal
sufferers, everything on the list was affected
and lower figures were reached shortly before
the close which was quiet and weak. divi-
dend on St. Paul was offered for per cent. on
! the board to-day without takers, Changes are
mostly for fractional amounts, though St Paul
| is down / " and Northwestern per cent. Sales
aggregated 226.000 shares. The following were
