 Financial
 New York, Sept. S.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says: Americans were very dull at the opening of the stock markets here to- day. but later rose under New York lead. After the experience of Monday the dealers are not at all anxious to strike out an independent course, and will look to Wall street more than ever for guidance in fixing quotations Hope ful views are entertained, but there is no inclination to support opinions.
 The other markets were quiet. and without SnQpiaJ i'm gard to the Bank of England rate con- tinued to undergo modification, and dis count rates in the market are steadily falling. Unless there should be a large export of gold between now and Thurs day an advance in the bank rate is most improbable
 Twenty-Five thousand pounds in gold was taken from the bank today for In- dia, but the operation has nothing to do with the recent transactions of the h. dian council.
 The Berlin market was slack and the Paris was quietly steady.
 New York Cotton Market.
 New York, Sept. S.-The cotton market opened steady, at an advance of 2@4 points on more favorable English news than looked for, but almost immediately gave way under the rumor of good rains in Texas, increased estimates for port receipts and signs of weakness in the English market indicated by subse- quent advices. Liverpool was a fair buyer on the call, but turned seller on the decline. New Orleans sold slightly this morning, but purchased the late months in small way in the afternoon. September was about the only cotton that showed pronounced weakness Opening at 7.19, an advance to TIP was followed by a steady drop to 7c. The late months improved in the afternoon on light local covering started by re- duced estimates of tomorrow's port re- ceipts and fears that Fridays govern nneint report would be- more bullish than at first had been anticipated. The mar- ket closed steady, with September points lower, October points lower and the balance of the list 1 point higher.
