New York, Aug. 8.-The cotton mar

Gals points in the face of disappoint-
ing cables. The weak feature of the
English market was the small total
of spot sales. 1t is claimed that Eng
lish spinners are holding off on the
belief that they will be able to buy
their supplies at lower figures. The
Chronicles weather report was less
sensational than recent private crop
accounts, covering the weather and
crop conditions of the past week. Soon
after the opening, reports of rain
reached this market and the advance
was promptly lost under considerable
local selling pressure. Reports of
closing down by number of new
English mills checked buying. The
market again rallied quite sharply and
closed steady at net advance of 3
to 10 points. Trading was largely on
local account to-day and altogether

MORE ELECTION FIGURES.


The popular vote for Mr.. Mckinley
seems to have been 7,050,516 The popu
lar vote for Mr. Bryan was G,22l .552.
The popular vote for Palmer was l3S, so.
Mckinley, therefore received more votes
than Bryan to the tune of S2G 96l These
are not official figures, but they are made
from the unofficial estimates and will
not vary to any great extent from the
regularly certified returns The vote of
every State, with the single..exception of
kentucky, is now practically known. 1t
Is safe to assume that they give full JUS
tice to Mr.. Mckinley, and reasonable to
conclude that they are so nearly abso-
lutely correct as to make them proper
subjects of inquiry and speculation.
There are some very significant features
i'll these figures. They furnish much food
for thought. The Republican and assist
| ant Republican ORGANS, for instance, are
sneering ut Mr.. Bryan, declaring that he
has been repudiated by the American pco-
pie, .and that it is piece of ridiculous
| impertinence in him to think of 1900 or
| to suppose that the American people re-
| gard him with anything but pity and con
tempt. 1t strikes us rs very stupid to
put forward such propositions as these.
( Mr.. Bryan got 1921 ,j52 votes. Six and
quarter millions of men are worth

of them are native born white Americans
There were not that many voters for Mr..
Cleveland in 1892 as his vote that year

| than Mr.. Bryan received on the Bird in.
slant If. therefore, Mr.. Bryan is an OBJ

pudiation involved in vote of only
6,221 ,j52, how are we 10 estimate Mr.
Cleveland's standing with the masses in
the light Of his vote of only 5,556, 562?
The fact is that taking the 13S, $40 DEM
