Hubbard, Price a Co., in their circular on
cotton futures, say:
The contract market opened q little slack
and points lower, but upon the develop
ment Of n small covering demand strength
ened up and finally closed at about last
nights rates Trading has been Of local
Character unimpOrtant In itself, and hardly
enough business done TO test the position"
According 10 the Commercial Bulletin Of the
18th instant; Indeed, too much uncer-
tainty prevails over the old crop at least 10
attract either buying or selling on fresh in
vestmcnt, and II is the feeling Of extreme
nervousness among those already committed
that affords the present working basis Today
August started out with Grmer tone and
the rate touched l0ifc again, but ~ this de-
mand ceased some pressure developed and
there was a settling on to 10, i5c, at which n
line Of stop orders was reached that added
materially 10 the offering and further pre-.
cipitatcd the decline until sales were made
hs low ns 10 Zoe, or 10 points under the high.
est From the latter figure, however, care.
ful buyers managed TO secure n recovery,
and when the gong sounded at the close the
line Of cost was within point Of last even.
ing and the position looked generally gcadcr.
There seemed 20 be an idea that the move
ments Of leading operators indicated more
determined move toward working an al.
vance for August and the drop today, IL
was claimed, was assisted as means Of
shaking ont some Of the interfering long
interest yet Others are equally certain that
the basis for a squeeze is daily becoming
smaller through the disappearance Of the
short interest aud the halting between
these two opinions makes possible such ir-
regularitics as have been shown today On
the line Of new crop, September retains
rather the strongest tone, with not much
inclination to add 10 the short line. but be-
yond that there is occasional selling by |
those who believe In ample supplies and the
necessity for easy values In order 10 keep
the consumptiyo demand In desirable trim"

To call a man handsome is doubtful
compliment, while an intimation that we
don't ADMIRE handsome women, however
dressed, is base SANDER No exceptions
were taken TO Miss Rachael Foster-grace
and beauty we worship. It was against
the awful trousers she wore, or claimed
that she wore, that the protest was made.
1t is said that Annie Jenness Miller is a

would capture US though she were dressed
in cunning bags. And we go further and
agree with Annie Jeuness Miller that as
rule all fashions outside OF national COS

glory of physical womanhood, but then,
you know Miller won't permit fellow to

on this ineNhaustable theme but we are

opening of bids at Washington for govern
ment building contract in this city wired
a prominent gentleman for information
and received as answer that Valentine
Jobst, of Peoria, H., was the lowest bid
der. The answer did not indicate whether
the contract had been awarded or not.
There are contractors in this city who
have sent in bids who ara quite anxious to
the result.
A prominent contractor said last eve
ming that he was well acquainted in bus
mess way with the man who has the low
est bid and says he is one of the most re-
liable contractors in the west. 1t will be

no doubt that he would be awarded the
