with our market pretty well evened Up
as 10 the smaller accounts as the result
OF the liquidating movement covering the
past few days. At the same time, buying
was checked somewhat by indications or
increasing receipts at the ports ana the
interior. The movement Of new cotton,
however, is siil comparatively moderate
and decidedly under the calculations Of
the shorts. The general unOertOne OF the
market was better to-day than at any

SAIL FOR MANILA.
Heavy Battleships VIII Almost Surely
Go Very Soon.

NORFOLK. VA, Sept. 16.-Special.-The
troopship Panther. which came down for
stores for the feet took these aboard and
returned to Tompkinsvllle last night. IL
transpired to-day that 90 took on eight
large ships boats which were built for
the battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky,
now nearing completion Ut Newport
News.
The fact that these boats were taken
"a thought 10 indicate the sailing for a
distant port OF some OF the warships now
nj Tompklnsville. IL IS believed here that
this circumstance foretells the sailing OF
some OF our heavy ships for Manila at
once. The theory has been advanced that
some OF the monitors will go and these
boats are wanted because there Is some
doubt OF the seaworthy qualities OF these
low free board vessels.
II appears. however practically certain
that some OF our heavy warships will
shortly be of on long voyage across
seas.
