MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


 New York, June 6.-(Special )-Liverpool sent us a handsome advance this morning, but telegrams reporting good rains in south west Texas spoiled the effect of favorable cables. August opened at 754, but dropped in a moment to 7.50. little later August declined to 7.44, but when the government weather chart was issued showing that the rains except at a few points had been scanty the decline was checked and August rallied to 7.f9 the close was steady with August at 7.47@7.4s. The talk and the fear of manipu- lation has now completely died out and the market has resumed it's normal condition, being swayed by the usual and legitimate in fuences, which govern supply and de- mand. The excessive premium on the sum mer months as compared with the later de- liveries has been materially reduced and many shrewd traders now regard August as much the best sale on the list. There seems to be no longer the slightest appre- hension of any scarcity or any "corner" in the cotton. The crop accounts are in the main favorable. The weather in Texas is too dry, but the drought is not yet of a very serious character. Good rains in that state would quickly cause a further de- pression in prices. We think the chances are in favor of a lower market, and we are still inclined to advise sales on all rallies.

Chicago 'Chanre.

Chicago, H., June 6.-An advance of no mean proportions took place in wheat to- day. The grain during the session was supplemented by one of from a4 to 1c over most the outside. By far the most import ant agent responsible for the strength was the ansas crop report, which made the con- dition in the state 69 against 97 on the 1st of May. Traders are convinced that great deterioration has taken place in this state, where the banner yield was predicted. July wheat opened from CO.'S to 6O1ac, sold be- tween 60 and 621sc, closing at 61Rc, 21sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was strong and from to 21ac higher
 that corn exhibited sympathy with wheat. Then, owing to the extreme buoyancy of the leading market, shorts were constrained to cover moderately, with the result of ad- vancing prices slightly, but it was appa- rent that this market was not in full ac- corn opened at 2Sasc, sold between 2S@2S1s and 287sQ29c,. closing at 2S4c, 1a@ssc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was steady, closing firm and 1ac higher
 Oats lacked life and energy. Like corn, this grain was rather inclined to resist the for practically the same reason. It was not until near the close that the prices dis played any sympathy with the booming sentiment. July oats closed ssc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were steady, closing firm.
 Provisions-Produets gave evidence of further revival in strength this morning. The hog receipts were under the estimate, giving prices at the yards lift. The mar ket was not active, however, and the ear session progressed. At the close July pork higher and July ribs 21a6l5c higher
 Leading futures ranged. as follows:

snn,s Cotton Review.

New York, June e-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton opened 2. points higher, and closed 4 points lower for the day and the tone steady. Sales, 92000 bales
 Today's features: Rains in Texas de- pressed the price. though the opening figures were slightly higher in response to a rise in Liverpool. Silver seems to be tend ing upward, and this will help Manchester's trade with the far East. New Orleans sold quite a little December, the difference be- tween New York and New Orleans on that month being 32 points. Leading bulls here, 1t is stated, bought December to some ex- tent this morning. Before the close Ger man houses covered more or less and the ending was steady. Export grades of cot ton goods are firm and print cloths steady. at the moment are the revival of spot busi- ness in Liverpool, in conjunction with in creased activity at Manchester, and the dry weather in Texas, especially in the south western portion of that state.

Floods in Kansas.

ABILENE, Kas,, April 25.-T he
greatest flood in Abilene's history
has resulted here from a terrific
rain a few miles out of town. In
three hours Mud creek rose thirty
feet and all the west and north
sides are under water. The streets
are rivers, and much property is
injured but as yet no lives have
been lost. Several families in the
west and north part Of Russell were
driven from their homes by the
high water in Fossil creek. Much
general damage was done to crops
and many crossings and sidewalks
were washed out.
