Cotton Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 3.-Advices from Liverpool this. morning were rather better than expectetl.~z7Spot demand showed an increase as compared with takiLgs of the past few weeks, salss ag- gregating 12,000 bales at an advance of 1-32 in quotations.
 Arrival market was firm, closing at an advance for the day.of 21a to 3 points In response to favorable calls our market opened about 2 points over las. even iGg. The vctume of bus ness, however has been small. with trading largely of local character, Owing Ito lack of specu- lative buying prices tllqred easier after the opening. as a result, early advance has been lest and prices at the clc.ss are 4 to points below yesterdays close. The weekly government srepCft Stats s cotton continues to make favorable progress over central ard eastern poctiors of tn cotton belt, but in Missouri, Texas and part of Louisiana and Arkansas, the crop continues to suffer from drought, crop is withstandirg the effect of drought in Texas better than anticipa ted, but is Openirg prematurely and shedding. es- peclally in uplan1s.= Picking is progress gun in central portiofts of Mississippi and Georgia. Tn addition to above some p.i- vate dispatc}s scare beirfg received. com plaining9 of damage from drought in Texas. and from ball worms in parts of Mississippi and the former state. The weekly report was hardly as bullish as expected, but it must be admitted crop has yet. to pass, through most critical perfod of its existence and the ultimate outcore will depend to a great extent up- on wea ther developments during the pr g. ent month.

Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 3.-The stock market today. presented very strong front. There was. good buying of the Granger list, which causedsa very sharp advance. The-Sugar crowd were on hand and bought the stock very freely. although there was considsrab cover ing of shorts. which halped the advance.
 Chicago Gas was strong and scored a net advance of 22s per. cent on the day. due to report that the Chicago Gas of- fcials had perfected consolidation and the papers of the n " company had been hled with the secretary of state Consolidated Gas had another big ad- vance today. The buying of Consoli- dated Gas was largely of people with un- usually good insid4 information, and is said to be based mare particularly upon ntimation that tsthesnext dividend will be Increased to a10 per cent rate The company is earning P per cent and only paying per cent. AS a 10 pr cent stock it is considered very cheap. especi- ally with the increased Speculative value IL will have from consolidation with other companies Sugar rose from 143b 10 144&. and was very strong at the close. Tennessee Coal and Iron had a sharp rally and left off at a net gain of 13 per cent Louisville and Nashville advanced from 56 to 57A at which price It left off. There has been considerable interest paid to Union, Pacific during the past few days. The court has not yet set the date for. the sale of this road at foreclosUrs. and there arc intima- tions that when it is set it will not be before next February. Friends of the property are giving. out points to buy the stock ,...,-.s
 There is much specula ton as to what the divid=nd on Atchson adjustments will be- but the market Is supposed to indicate a 3 per cent dividend, and there is no doubt hut what this can be paid from the. earnings. s.-asI a.. s5tC
 Rock Island earnings for the month of July should he given out tonight. They are expected to show the best in- crease in any month for several years. Rock Island people ara confident that the earnings from this time on will be the best for at least four years and make return to 4 per cent dividend basis very easy. A revival of specula- ton in the stock is looked for Tobacco was another strong feature today. and gained 1M per cent Speculation in to- hacco has beer restricted partly by diff fer4nces of opinion among the insiders and partly by bad impressions which previous manipulation has created Peo- nle who have Investigated if say that it would not be at all difficult to put the stock to 125 and keep it there if th- in- siders are willing.

mittee OF the Academy OF Forty. com
posed Of Ruth c. Havens, Sarah A.
Spencer. Emma NJ. Gillett. Helen r.
Holmes and Mary Durham. who sought
to secure modification Of the civil
service rules 50 as TO prevent tiiscrim-
luation against women in csrtihcation
by the commission 10 the appointing
authorities. They referred to the case
OF Miss Stainecker who was refused
appointment to the war department re-
Gently on the ground OF sex. although
she had been the only applicant who
passed the severe entrance examina-
tious.
The petition which they presented to
the President recites that the appoint
ing officers, always men, insist on de-
manding that the names OF men only be
certified for selection, and they ask the
President to modify the rules so as 10
provide that unless the sex OF the en-
ploye desired is fixed by law. the certifi-
cation made by the civil service com
mission shall be without regard TO sex.
The President promised to give the pc
