Cotton Letter.

Birmingham, Sept. 2S.-The cotton market has shown & very firm under tone. and indications are that the weak longs have evidently been pretty thor ough1y eliminated during the recent de- cline. There has been very little pres- sure to sell during the morning, and the character of the buying has been much better than for some days. There have been no new developments to cause the recovery. The market has simply be- come over-sold, and rally was only natural Although sentiment generally continues bearfsh, prices have at last reached a point which juStifies caution on the part of the bears. as the out turn of the crop is still more or less matter of conjecture.
 The summary 6f the weekly govern ment report, as published today. says that picking has been pushed rapidly

 New York Cotton Market.
 New York, Sept. 2S.-The cotton mar ket opened irregular, with September z points higher, October points lower and the remainder of the list 4 points higher. Following the call the market assumed more normal adjustment with net advance of 3@6 points appar- ent at noon. The improvement was largely the result of more substantial indications of broadening interest on the part of outside specu1ators in the shape of actual buying orders, some of them for considerable lines. Public ca- bles were quite as good as expected, and private advices we're even better than the public accounts. The weekly weather bulletin. although of a bullish average, fell rather fiat. The market closed steady at net advance of 205 points.

 tfrefy lost today. GTolders did Bct re- gard the action of the Liverpool market as very encouraging at the opening and were disposed to sell. This weakness was taken advapitage of by the bsars and short Mnes were putt out, while the sup port on the whole was of very meagre character. As tine session progressed September Became very heavy and this, together with a decline in hhe outside American markets had @ depressing ef- feet on i4ie deferred futures here, De- cemlber selling off to 90H, or about 11s cent lower than yes:ertAay's close. The continued large receipts northwest is factor that discourages buying, and not wit[hstanding reports from that section to the effect that ihreshing returns are disappointing, no large movement has a telling effect. Of course, there may be a decided falling off when cash wheat in the northwestern marqket goes to a sufficient discount that will enable ele- vator people to keep the grain in s,ore and make carrying charges, but the be- lief prevtadls that the high prdce will be very attractive to farmers and that Their deliveries are apt to be very heavy. Liverpool gained scime strength after the oRendng and closed frcrn h 10 1N higher, the latter being for ibhe September du- ture. Comfme.sal msrl1eits were 10 cent trnes higher for Paris unchanged to 12h certimes lower for Antwerp.

Mail orders were, as usual on Tuesday, small today, and the aggr gate of sales, bo.h in joblbsng stores ard at first hands, was very light. The price situa;fon is generally firm, however. In ccitton goods the position eff sellers is strong on many lines Export goods and a few other grades are in quiet request but staple bieached au9d brown goods show no weakness.

REDUCED DIN RANK.
Thc President Mitismtes the Punish
n,cnt of GoInInSndcr MnlInn.

Washington. ID. c., July S.-The Prcsi-
dent to-day disposed of the case of
Commander Dennis Mullan, OF the navy,
lately in command Of the Pensacola
navy yard, who had been found guilty
by court martial OF drunkenness on duty
and recommended for dismissal from
the navy. The President in his endorse
mcnt says:
llhe sentence Of the court martial in
the foregoing case of Commander Den
MS Nullan is approved. but is mitigat-
cd as follows: To be reduced in rank
50 that his name shall be placed at the
foot OF the list of commanders in tho
navy, and to be suspended from rank
ana duty on onc-half of sea pay for the
period or five years, during which time
ne snail retain his present place at the
foot OF the said list
The practical effect of this sentence
probably will be to prevent the officer
from ever becoming a captain, a place
which he otherwise would have attained
IN Il day of two by the retirement OF
captain BARTLETT and also make it i'm
probable that he will again hold a sea
command before retiring.
