Cotton Futures
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The M~essenger.)
New York, September 1.-THE move
ment of early cotton has exceeded all
expectations and has robbed the bull
ish news of the week of any telling
force. Speculation has continued on a
very moderate scale and there has been
no important change in prices. Liver
Door bitterly disappointed the bulls to-
day. Instead of responding to our ad-
vance of yesterday that market actual
ly ignored the bureau report entirely
and declined lid. The weakness there
was due to heavy offerings of spots by
the south and to the bearish cables
from this side. Our market opened
weak and 6 to 10 points down. Liqui-
dalton by tired bulls n free short
selling was continuous during the day,
but the demand was fairly good, and
after moderate fluctuations, the mar
ket closed steady at about the open
ing prices. January opened at $50,
f1uctuated between this figure and 6.83
and closed at $50 to 6.81. The friends
of cotton instead Of being discouraged
by the heavy receipts claim that the
hot and forcing weather, which, by
causing premature opening, has made
this early movement possible, has done
great injury to the plant. If crop adj
vices, public and private, are to be re-
lied on, then the crop has certainly un-
dergone marked deterioration. The
sentiment of the trade, however, is
bearish, and spinners are convinced
hat cotton will go lower and are buy
ing only their immediate and press
ing wants. Those who believe in lower
prices are relying upon the actual
weight of the bales upon a market
practically bare of speculative buying.
To cause a realization Of their hopes
his is about their only argument, but
it is certainly a very weighty one. Our
own opinion is hat the crop has un-
doubtedly been hurt and unless there is
a marked improvement soon we think
that any decline will be but temporary.

"Your editorial in last issue On the

.'They came to this section from Vir-

leave there. Sanctifcation is their hob
by. They set out with a falsehOod, viz:
That the Methodist Episcopal church is

the doctrine of holiness as a profession,
ard when one is sanctified, or processes
u be, whatever he or she does is no sin.
T" a sanctified man or woman should
leave their unsanctified wife or husband
ard take to themselves a spiritual wife or
husband, though he or she may be the
husband or wife OF some other woman or
man. Thus they would strike down the
law of our state, annul the marriage re-
lation, practice fornication and adultery
and inaugurate bigamy as a religious rite.
Yet they say they do so, being tried in the
courts and approved.
'They have done more evil in this coun-
try than all modern infidelity combined.
