MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

COLUOn L6bLer.
New York, Aug. 22.-The week closed
without any adequate relief from the long
and severe drouth that has blighted the
cotton, which in June gave so fair promise
of an enormous yield The market today
was extremely nervous in its fluctuations.
LiverpooPs report was somewhat disap-
pointing to the bulls, and opening prices
here were about 8 points lower. January
opened at 1885, but soon advanced. In an
p hour the market had become strong and
January sold up to $50 Just then, on tele-
grams announcing indications of rain in
Texas, there was some heavy selling, and
January declined to $685. But the offerings
at the decline were quickly absorbed and
the close was steady with January at $500
$40.
AS the end of the cotton year approaches
the difference between August and the lat
ter months is melting away, as we expect
ed. The advance in prices finds the market
in a peculiar position. The traders here,
having until very lately little faith in the
serious character of the crop disaster, were
all short of cotton. They have at last be-
come thoroughly frightened and have COW
cred their ventures at humping loss. On
the other hand, there Is a marked absence
of these vast pyramids of long cotton built
up by southern spectators, with which the
market was so top-heayy last August and
which ended in the memorable October col
lapse. Thus the market at the moment is
neither oyersold or overbought and cotton
/ in the immediate future is likely to rise or
fall upon its merits alone and in obedience
to the law of supply and demand. The
trade seems undismayed by the tremendous
volume of the early receipts and, judging
from the great demand for new cotton,
spinners realize that the unprecedented re-
ceipts purport a short picking season and a
coming scarcity of the staple. We think
cotton will gradually go higher, though FREE
quent reactions are to be expected. We see
mo reason to change our advice of last
week. Don't sell cotton except to take
profits Take advantage of every break to
buy as much you feel able to protect
against adverse fluctuations.

Grewsome Discovery of q HuatInG Par
tS.- \ Mysterious Crime Unesrthed
Near Sourh MeAIester.

Ed SitiIe, Jr.. of McAlester
III company with a drummer
made frightful discovery yes
terday while on Coal creek, 10
miles west of here, on a hunt
ing expedition. About 200 yards
up the stream from what Is
known as the middle crossing
they found the remains of hu-
man, which. through the raw
ages of hogs and decomposi-
tiOn had been almost reduced to
a skeleton. Near by was found
shredS of a woman's dress a
woman's shoe. one stocking
and a garter. The body or,
what was left of it was lying
near the stream, and in a place
which showed that there had
been no effort made to conceal
il. Judging from the articles
of wearing apparel found near
it, the body was evidently a
woman's. and apparently had
been dead Il number of days.
Mr.. Sittle and his companion
left the remains aS they found
them, and reported the matter
To the marshal's office this
morning. As all the deputies
are now out of the city on court
business. there was no one 10
send this morning To- make an
investigation.
The identity of the remains iS
matter that battles all. No
woman Is known to be missing
nor is it possible from the means
at hand To identify the body.
The caSc will he investigated at
once and will likely reveal a
ghaStly crime or horrible fat
ality. y.-McAloSter Capital.
