New York Cotton Market.

New York, September 2.-Opening steady with prices one point lower to one higher with very few orders in sight, the cotton market turned quite weak under renewed pressure. The local shorts were some what disposed to cover in view of the un- satisfactory purpose of the later news re- garding crop conditions and the effect of recent abnormal rain falls in Atlantic states.
 Following the opening call the market ruled barely steady and by noon showed a loss of BOA points. Subsequently the mar ket ruled quiet and without particular feat ure, receiving some support, however, from buying by commission houses and renewed covering, caution being stimulated by the

Paine. Murphy S CO.'S Grain Letter

Birmingham, September 2-Liyerpool ca bles on wheat were a shade lower. This was not very encouraging to the bu Is, with northwest receipts 1122. against 73S last year, and every indication of still larger receipts next week. While we ap- preciate the fact that wheat is compara- lively low, still every straw points to a further gradual liquidation. We do not anticipate any radical break. but new dropping of fractions is expected. The de- cline continued all day and closed around lowest figures. Corn sympathized with wheat. Yellow fever still continues to in- fuence the provision pit and each new case reported from the south causes weakness

Dry Goods

New York, September 2.-The dry goods market is on about the same basis as dur ing the week. The buyers are plentiful in the city, having availed themselves ill large numbers of the merchants excursion rates. But they have not been heavy operators in the market. Mail orders have been fair ly well sustained during the week and those have brought the daily averages up to a reasonable figure in most quarters. Woolen and worsted goods in all quarters have been dull In cotton goods better prices have been obtained Fine print cloths are sell ing quite freely in small lots.

Chicago, September 2.-Oats again demon- strated their ability to follow other ce- reals. Provisions had an easy opening That bit of news was easily digested, and with September liquidation, hot weather and reiteration of bad crop reports from Nebraska, helped to strengthen corn. Ira ders sold quite freely, but when December got around 31c there was good demand for 1t against puts and prices held steady. With higher prices for hogs at the yards, the market soon displayed tendency to do better

 New York, September 2-There was a pe- riod of activity in the stock exchange this morning and a brisk demand manifest ed for few stocks, but the dealing became more and more perfunctory as the day pro- gressed. The market was under the com bned influence of the exhausting heat, the tightening money market and the approach ing Labor Day holiday. It had fallen into complete lethargy by noon, and the gov erning committee was induced to recon slider it's refusal to close the exchange on Saturday and decided to suspend trading from today until 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning. The announcement of this deci- sion demonstrated that the weakness Of stocks earlier in the day had been due to speculative short selling, shown by the de- mand to cover shorts. Manhattan scored an extreme improvement after marked early weakness of PA, and Tobacco, after loss of nearly points, recovered IA. Gen- eral Electric continued to show strength and closed at the best at a net gain of IA. The market generally drifted to lower level in the dealings, due to taking or trad- CTS profits in anticipation of three days interval of trading.
 The money market hardened further call loans generally being marked up to 5 per cent. on the expectation that tomorro" bank statement would show a Stlll further decline in cash holdings and surplus re- serve The higher money rate was not re- f1ected in the exchange market, which was slightly firmer in tone Bonds were very dull, but prices were more firmly held than for stocks Total sales, $2,345,O ,OO0

The top fig at station indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath 1t, If any, the amount of rainfall of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word high means high barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied by fair weather; low refers to low pres sure and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. Lows" usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure Is high in the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast rain Is probable; but when the low is nclosed with isobars of marked curvature rain south of Oregon is i'm probable. With a high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Cali fornia coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result
