NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, August S.-There was q
feeling Of uncertainty in the stock market
at the start, some of the prominent issues
having advanced. while others showed
declining tendency. Later. the Changers
were heavy, and especially Burlington,
which sold down to 20 on the corn-crop
damage reports. 1t was rumored that the
government crop report, due on Friday,
would show that the condition Of the
cereal will average only IS per eent.-the
lowest on record. In sympathy Rock Island
ran off to 63si, ST. Paul to G9is, and
Northwestern to 1O3k. This attempt 10
force the bears To unload considerable
long stocks proving unavailiug, some
smaller shorts changed front and at
tempted to cover. This met with poor
success, and the traders of bullish pro-
cliyites jumped and bid up prices all
around.
As the day advanced hints We're re-
ceived from Washington that the tariff
fight was at last reaching an end. De-
tails were lacking as u the compromise,
but these were not needed Ii was enough
Tor the tails in stocks TO know that some
agreement had been arrived ~. Win the

,ruc,, unloading cotton in a big ware

ton of a Press reporter the other day'
The brown fibre had the lustre Of SILK. ana
was almost as shiny and as ine' IL
leaked Ike the famous Sea Island cotton
raised near Charleston, but on the mead
of one Of the small bales CAIRO WAS
written in crude, awkward letters.
This cotton was grown in the Me
Valley. and down the bay was anchorcd
an English steamer with q cargo oil 2yV
bales of It. The warehouseman said II
WAS the largest cargo OF This cotton tnat
had over been shipped to New York.
Bringing foreign cotton TO this country
looked like carrying Goals to Newcastle
but the reporter learned that 1000 bales
Of Egyptian cotton have been shipped TO
the United States since 1858. Nearly all
the fine, wel-dyed cotton goods on the
market, 1t seems. are made very largely
of Egyptian cotton, especially the Iher
cotton hosiery. All the lisle-thread goods
are manufactured from il. II is sup rior
to our cotton in gloss. strength OF hDre'
and ability TO hold colors.
This cotton has for ten years been
taking the place of American cotton for
the manufacture of fine goods In Euro
pean looms and its Importation To thls
country is becoming an important item
of commerce. II is in every respect as
good as the famous Sea-lsland cotton
which is limited to a few small islands
on the South Atlantic coast. In fact, 1t is
the same cotton growing in greatest per'
lection In the rich Nile Valley.
