Ery Goods.

New York, Aug. 15.-In the dry goods
market it is long time since the close of
a week was hailed with as much relief as
today, not because of business anxiety but
entirely on account of the weather. Day
by day trade has been conducted under ex-
tremely trying conditions and 1t must be
regarded as entirely satisfactory that there
can be reported an Improvement in volume,
no matter how slight, compared with re-
cent weeks. The general tone has under
gone no material alteration.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 15-tSpecial)-T week
has been one of frequent and violent fluc-
tuation in cotton, caused in the first in
stance by reports of rain or its absence in
the vast parched belt stretching from the
south Atlantic coast to the Rio Grande. The
declines and advances, however, were alike
exaggerated by the unreasoning haste with
which host of small traders with no de-
cided views of their own are prone to fol-
low few leaders in changing sales. To-
day Liverpool was lower and our opening
likewise was at slight decline, but 1t soon
became apparent that in the face of the I'M
broken drouth there was little cotton for
sale and prices rapidly improved. January
which soon after the call sold at 7.60 ad-
vanced to 7.73.
In the final trading there was a recess
sion of a few points on realizing sales, jan
uary closing at 1907. TO- with the tone quiet
and steady. The latest reports by wire from
the southwest say that the weather is still
dry and very hot. The wires bring every
day hundreds of request for our opinion as
to the probable course of the market. With
every disposition to give our friends the
best information we can gather, it is diff
cult to state the situation in brief tele-
gram without danger of misleading them.
We have decided opinions as to how prices
will be two or three months hence. There
/ is no longer any possibility Of the monster
/ We feel sure that the yield will be only a
very moderate one and that as soon as the
trade shall become satisfied of this fact a
quick and material and lasting advance will
follow, but the rush of receipts for the next
six weeks will be 50 unprecedented in
volume that the trade may for a time get
the impression that record breaking crop
is coming in. Tight money, business de-
preston and the great uncertainty of the
3 political and financial future are all power
full influences against an advance. No man
can say how far these influences may de-
press cotton for a while, but shortcrop
coming on the heels of short visible sup
ply will beat them all in the end. Our adj
vice just now is, first, don't sell short; seq
ond, but upon breaks buy not more than
you can easily protect; third, for the present
accept moderate profits so as to be ready
to buy again on a decline.

New York, Aug. 15.--The dealings at the

over 10000 shares The market presented
few features of interest and the variations
in prices were confined to narrow limits At

from London, but the trading element
which is in control of the market was not
disposed, to follow up this advantage.
Prices at this time receded hMss per cent.

was little desire to trade, however, for the
reason that the street had been flooded
with rumors that the bank statement would
be very nnfavorable The statement when
published did show further contraction in
loans and heavy loss in surplus reserve,
but the market instead of declining i'm

Reports Not EncourlGIng-Namc OF
Different PrOSoectors Met Oh tho
Traii-.A Few COlOrS

party of five proSpectorS arrived at
Juneau on Sunday morning last from the
Atlin lake country. The party consisted
of the following men who left juneau
early in the year intending to prospect
the country in the vicinity of the Hoota-
linqua river-T. r. Brown, F. A. Lin
booker, P |. Packard, A. E. Johnson, W.
n. Griffin.
A representative of THE MINER found
Mr.. Limboeker last evening who happened
to be in tall<ative MOOD, and considerable
information was gained from him.
''No, our trip has been anything but
prosperous one," said Mr. Limbo>ker.
1--WE left Juneau on the 9th of April in
tending to 60 by way of the Tallou route
to the Hootalinqua country. We took
with us abolt 4oo pounds of provisions
each and a pendulum amaIgamator-
invention of my own for catching fine
gold. When within about three miles
from the Davis glacier in the Takou dis
trict the ANAL gamator had to be abandoned
Oh account of the breaking up of the ice.
'We prospected little along the Ta!<ou
river and found few coorS, but nothing
that would pay for the working. We
worked a little ucoa some of the bars OF
the Iallsayliay river-the first large
stream emptying into the Takou from the
right. We found few ooIors there.
We met the Packard party with whom
we afterwards returned to Juneau. They
spent about month and half along the
Tallsaykay looking for quartz. Late last
year Packard was in through that part Of
the Country ana picked UP 4 piece of float
quartz very rich in free gold. On the
strength of his find he this year returned
with party to Search FOX the ledge from
which tho rich float had been broken. In
the party was an assayer named IrAnIl
Cryderman. The party built fu..l,ice
pretty we'll up along the stream and tried
every kind of rock they thought there WIS
any gold in. Tn. best they fond during
their stay was som. white quartz that

the party on the day we met them. These
three men started for the Hootalinqua
where they intended spen ling the rest of
the summer season and then starting for
Circle City in the fall. The other men,
bers Of this party were on their way back
to Telegraph creek. In coming over from
there they had pro5pected a little, and on
several different streams they had found
mum erou5 colorS; they intended examining
those places more closely Oh their way
back as the prospects looked better there
than anything they had seen in the Atlin
lake country.
'The formation of the country lying be-
tween the SinaWayolain river and Attain
lake consists for the most part of coarse
grained granite and flint Along the upper
end Of the lake the same formation is
noticeable, but along the lower end there is
lois Of white quartz, tlne-graned granite,
some iron sulphrets and little slate.
''On the Ist of Aug lst we met a party
of seven returning from trip I0o miles
up the N.t|-s5ene river In the party were
F. 6. Brunar and MN by the name of
Lo;<rdge. This party had not sue
ceeled in discovering any good placer
ground or seeing any rich.lool<ng quartz.
They reported finding the course of the
river to b. altogether different from what
it is generally reported to b.. 1t runs al
most parallel with the Cassiar range. A
very few small streams flow into NetIessene
from the Cassar range. They reported
having pro52ected in nearly all the small
streams thew came across, but found moth
ing but a few oolors. They also reported
having met Judge States and party from
Juneau who We're on their way down
to the Big Salmon river. If they did not
succeed in striking anything along that
stream they intended going on down to the
HootalinQua.
''On the 10TH of June we met party of
four at a place about thirty miles above
the Silver Salmon. The were, Joe Irwin,
Tom Kef, a man named Scott and big
Norwegian. They were packing about
eighty pounds each. We met this same
party again on the goth of July; they
were on their way out. They had met

until within nine miles froa, the Silver
Salmon river. There we found it impossi
bic to take oar bo It any further up stream
and we were obliged to pack from there
Oh to the lakes.
''From the Silver Salmon to Lake Attain
is distance of about ninety miles. We
covered the entire distrnse about four
times; Carrying all the way from fifty to
$50 pounds.
con the 9th Of June we got into snow
about thirty miles above the Silver
Salmon.
''On the 221 of Jun. we met the Bryant
party of ten people coming oat from the
lakes.
eve were two weeks in crossing over
the summit between thu first ana second

miles, bat the SNOW was very soft and in
some places quite deep.

PERSONALITIES Lucy Graves, of
this city, who has gone to Armenia
with Miss Clara Barton, of the Red
Cross Society, writes to her friends a
very interesting letter giving al ac-
count of her trip on the steamer New
York from New York to Southampton.
1t was stated last week that when
the vote was taken in the House of
Delegates on the Maupin bill MIR. May,
from this city, was not recorded as
voting. The reason was that Mr.. May,
who is on the committee to examine
the State institutions in the south
western part of the State, was out of
the city on that mission.

and told the officer he should not arrest
Sims until ne had taken into custody
several others whom he thought should
