Suns Cotton Review.

New York. Aug 31-The Suns cotton re- view says Cotton declined 14 to 16 points, closing barely steady with sales of 156, 500 bales Liverpool declined 11-16d on the spot with sales of 1000 bales and 6l2 to points New Orleans declined 15 to 13 points, Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged; mid ding uplands S-16c; sales of 3G9 bales for spinning.
 Port receipts were 9i6 bales, against 963 bales this day last week and 3l6S bales this day last year.
 The southern markets were unchanged.
 The Chronicle states that advices of the south indicate that while rain has fallen tation has in general been light; tlrat over a considerable portion of the southwest dry weather has prevailed and moisture is need- ed; that shedding is stated to be quite pre- valent in Texas and boil worms are also complained of that the picking is making fair progres in Texas , and is getting g,,i, under is 2.394. TBS bales. including 2l0O. 53S bales American, against a total last year at this were American. The exports from the ports thus far this season are 67l6,5i3 bales, against 5231. .494 bales thus far last season.
 Today's featureS: - In big markets big fluctuations must be expected, and today s prices not unnaturally declined. It was the last day of the week. Monday will be a holi- day. The advance within the last week has been very marked anu many persons nat urally desire to even up their transactions.
 There was further incentive to do ld this is the rains in Texas. If that is the work of Nein the market for the moment was rather top-heavy and a lmost anything would have had as depressing effect
 The Chronicles report, however, was bull ish and Bradstreets had d dispatch from Galveston saying that cotton reports from all parts of the state are gloomy and that during the past two weeks greater damage has been done than during the previous two months; also that conservative esti- ma tes make the Texas crop 35 to 40 per cent below that of last year.
 At one time today there was rally in York and ether buying. but renewed liquidation soon set in and prices receded to the lowest figures of the day. It is expected that Sep tember will be lively month in the cotton sDeciIlai ion.

In Wall Street.
 New York Aug. 31.-The export of s2,50O,- GOO gold to Europe was practically ignored by operators at the stock exchange today, and a. number of the active issues sold at the best figures attained since the present upward movement set in. The inquiry was priced isues anthracite coalers, and the grangers. The trading, however, was con- fined to the professional element which, in outlook for a big harvest, especially of corn, the improvement in outside business and q belief that the anthracite trade difficulties are in fair way of settlement.
 There was more doing in the low priced issues, particularly in the southwestern stocks, Flint and Perre Marquette, Pan> handle and Wisconsin Central These stocks advanced from A to 1la per cent. Texas Pacific was more active than for a long time past and rose to 1872 on reports that the company's earnings were increas- ing. Flint and Perre Marquette was bought for Boston account. It was stated that this company intends to extend it's line to Tole- do. It is understood that the company has the necessary funds in its treasury to build the extension which Is only twenty miles, and no new securities vii be issued. Jersley Central and Reading were in demand, the former rising to 1117s and the latter to 20h. The rise in Jersey Central brought out very little stock.
 The principal buying of the grangers was on orders by the stock trading trust, which has loomed into prominence In Wall street of late. Brokers employed by. his corpora ton were predicting higher prices for these stocks next week. The industrials were higher excepting for Distiling, which ran off slightly on the formation of the inn movement in. Distillers association. Sugar rose to 1114s, Tobacco to 94A, Chicago Gas to 619a, Lead to 36 and Cordage Guaranteed to 2Sl5, Speculation closed strong with prices anywhere from 4 to 2is per cent higher on Bonds were buoyant; the sales aggregated
