HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER.
New York, Aug. 14.-fSpeciaT) The
effect OF the bad crop advices upon
the markets abroad are shown in the
advance in Liverpool this morning,
which was even greater than our own
market expected and which furnished
the strength here this morning. While
crop adyices could scarcely be worse
from Texas and the Mississippi valley,
the trade here are afraid that the early
movement of the crop in the absence of
the American spinnefs may prove too
much for the market. This seems to
be the general temper of the entire
trade, not only here, but in the South,
and Is making everyone War for de
velopments before investing heavily
Each day that passes without rain only
increases the damage in the drought
affected sections and renders the revi-
val of the plant more difficult. Mean
y4yl, a ha ma i-af al
easily influenced by the execution Of
orders in either direction. kilograms
from New Orleans reporting rains in
Greenyille, Mississippi, brought about
a decline on realizing sales during the
afternoon, and the trade anticipates
a lower market in Liverpool tomorrow,
as a result Of a heavy interior move
ment. There is no Improvement in the
crop prospects, and such rains as have
fallen are merely light local showers.

Senator Davis withdraws.

MINNEAPOLIS. March 25.-Just before the state Republican convention was called to order yesterday it Was an- nounced that Senator Davis had wired Congressman Tawney withdrawing from the presidential race. This ao- ton was due to refusal of one-third of the five Minnesota conventions to indorse his candidacy. His determina- tion to withdraw makes 1t certain that Minnesotns IS votes tt St. Louis will be for Mckinley.
 It was nearly o'clock before the convention was called to order by chair man Bixby and when Congressman James A. Tawney arose before any Ghing el4e was done and read Senator Davis telegram of withdrawal, there WAS unbounded excitement But 1t cleared the atmosphere wonderfully. The frat clash was on the temporary ehairmanshlp. the two candidates being ex- Lieutenant Governor Rice of Wilmar and ex- Lieutenant Governor Gideon ,. Ives of St. Peter. Rice won 632 10 300.

 Fighting Each Other Will All Force
 Possibie-A Big Row In Prospect.
 AUSTIN, March 24. From the very start today there were indications of a big row i'll the meeting of the state Republican convention to elect dele gates to the national convention at St.. Louis. Wright Cuney of Galveston, the leader of the Allison forces, with his horde of negro followers. threw down the gauntlet to Chairman Grant and the Mckinley men and told them he would fight to the end.
 He declared if he won it would be a Cuney victory and if he lost it would be Guney defeat. either of which he could stand.
 The attitude of Cuney threw the Mo- Kinley and Allison forces in direct op- position. The Roed men were not at ali pleased with this state of affairs and showed it ill vigorous protests.
 The first thing done was the execu- tive committee resolving itself into a committee to pass on credentials and as there are contests after contests, it is not believed the convention can meet before late tonight.
 This convention is by far the largest ever held in the state and the city is overnowng with delegates and visitors.

 NEW YORK, March 9.

Parsons of Rochester to act as temporary chair man. He took the gavel, after making a lengthy address, which was greeted with applause.
 Just before the convention was called to order ex.Senator Platt entered the hall and his appearance was the signal for the hearty greetings of the dele- gates and spectators, they cheering wildly, and the band played Hail to the Chief. /" Hearty cheers were also given when Edward Lauterbach, Mir. Plart's first lieutenant, entered the hall, and an equally enthusiastic welcome was given Lieutenant Governor Saxton, who is looked upon as the coming can didate for the goyernership, the nom-

 The speakers references to Governor Morton were received with enthusiastic cheering.
 Senator John Raines, author of the excise bill which is known by his name, moved that all resolutions be referred without debate to the committee on resolutions. which was adopted
 Senator Clarence Lexow was made tions
 After the numerous committees were appointed the convention took a recess until 7:30 o'clock.
 Permanent organization was effected at 7.30 o'clock with Congressman South wick in the chair, viee presidens for each congressional district and a full corps of secretaries and assistants
 The Mckinley element i'll the con- vention is not formidable and it is scarcely probable that it will be heard from before tomorrow.
 A petition originating with the Erie county delegation asking that the names of Platt aud LauterbAch be dropped from the list of delegates and the names of Samuel Thomas of New York and Mayor E. B.
