New York. Aug. 13.-|Fhe cotton pur-

was quite as nervous as at any time
this season. Crop news was conflicting,
but on the average showed no improve
ment. The market opened steady at
about yesterdays closing figures, sold
up 1o4l3 points but reacted before
eleven o'clock. A sharp advance fol-
lowed and the best point of the day
showed q net improvement of Xteen
to eighteen points. Trading Nas par
ticularly active and represented very
little outside speculative interest. The
close was steady at a net advance of
IL TO 16 points.
HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER,
New York, August 13.-(Spe eiaD--
Again a decline had been effected in
the market by the prediction OF show
ers in the Mississippi Valley, which
predictions, however, not being carried
out, the market quickly recovered not
only the decline of to-day, but also
that of yesterday. The major part
of this advance occurred after the
Liverpool market has closed and was
due more to covering on the part OF
the short interest than to new buying.
Crop advices show no improvement, III
fact they are rather worse as the
weather conditions do not change in
any section of the cotton belt, while
our Liverpool cables state that their
advices from Texas are 50 distressing
that unless there is SOME relief the
market will go higher than ever. With
this sentiment abroad we may eyentu-
ally see a more active market should
trade conditions show any improvement
in America, Crop reports became so bad
during the afternoon that the market
closed steady at about the best prices
of the day. Ii these reports continue
the market will advance still further
as most of the largest no ders have dis
posed of their talSings on the recent
rain reports.

Results of Free Trade.

Nearly one third of the whole people
dwell in homes of only one room, and
more than two-thirds of the people OF
Scotland dwell in homes of not more
than two rooms. We find poverty and
misery. What does it mean? 1t means
more than can describe and more than
will attempt to describe, and as need
begets need, so poverty and misery be-
get poverty and misery. In fact. in
looking at the past to me it is q melan-
choly thing to look at; there is much of
it which excites in me not establishment
but horror. The fact is, there passed be-
fore my eyes a vision Of millions OF
families-not individuals, but families

EARNINGS, INCOME AND DIVIDENDS PER MILE
OF LINE OPERATED.

Here, again, the rise under Republic.
anism is as pleasing as the fall under
Democracy is painfully apparent. The
earnings Of 1895 were considerably less
than in 1890. The net income Of last
year was less than half that of 1890.
But the most striking figures are those
which compare the amount Of dividends
paid in 1894 and 1895 with the net in.
