BALTIMORE PROVISION MARKET
COTTON MARKETS.

New York, August 31.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices higher
by 2 to 4 points. cables at hand being
better than expected and crop accounts,
while generally ibearish, somewhat con-
flicting. Following the first call. how
ever. cables were Of less favorable sup
port. Selling became quite active and
the market sold OF 2 to 6 points. but
traders were cautious. fearing further
manipulation in September. and a gene
raj round up Of shorts as a result Of
recent selling.
The weekly weather report was expect
ed to be unfavorable, hut proved to be
less 50 than generally looked for, and
an active demand from shorts carried
prices to a net advance of'3 to 5 points
by noon. From the lowest point Sep
TENDER contracts rallied IL points, while
the rest Of the lis improved 6 to 8
points.
Sentiment during the afternoon was
more bullish. the later crop accounts in
dicating more or less rust, shedding and
complaints Of insects. The market sold
off sharply Just before the close under
general liquidation. started by rumors
of financial trouble OF a large cotton
and stocks Arm. The market barely
steady at a net advance Of 2 points to
n decline, of 5 points.
Following the close Of change, the sus-
pension Of E. B. Cuthbert & Co. was an
nounced. A canvass OF the market
showed that this firm had few out
standing contracts. The failure Is un-
derstood to be on account Of losses in
sugar on the stock exchange.
