By Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 Birmingham, Ala, September 13-Liver- pool cables were unchanged, and our mar ket evidenced disposition to drag. The weather is the principal consideration just now, and today's reports were not favor able. The port receipts show less than half of last Xsar's arrivals, although fair increase over last week. Traders are dis cussing the government report and argue that if 78.3 last year produced over Il OOO,OOO bales, why should they anticipate a much less yield from the present condition of 79.S? Bulls and weather observers can think over this. On the whole, we are not very sanguine of immediate improvement in values. T. G. HEWLETT, Agent.

New Yoik Cotton Market.


 New York, September 19.-Today's cotton market was exceptionally dull and desti- ute of feature. Scarcely any orders were at hand from outside sources and the local contingent. while having the market al most entirely to themselves, scarcely had ny disposition to make ventures.
 Opening dull at unchanged prices, there was subsequently decline of 243 points, with no. particular reason to explain the weakness beyond the fact that spsculators furnished no support and cables were dis appointing. The movement of cotton at the ports fell below calculations, and the outlook as to interior receipts failed also to jutify the claims of the bear element. At the same time, crop accounts were con- fiicting. The entire scope of todays market was only 8 points. The government re- port issued this afternoon made no marked impression on the market. The market closed 1a3 points net decline. New York, September 19-Cotton dull and easy; middling, 5 13-16c; net receipts, none; gross, 2,130; exports to Great Britain, 40S; to the continent, 520; forwarded, 695 sales, 27S stock AT 126.
 Total today: Net receipts, 14,163; exports to Great Britain, 429 continent, S.099; stock, 2159SO
 Consolidated: Net receipts, 45,257; ex- ports to Great Britain, 6,3S6 to France, 100; to the continent 146s4.

 The stock markets here were dull today. The settlement showed an increased ac- count, but it was entirely professional, the public not yet having "caught on," even in mining shares.
 Americans were dull all day and closed flat, St Paul leading the decline. The set dement's in Americans showed an increased account, and Contangos were 212to per cent.
 Mines were firm the greater part of the day but there was a sharp collapse at the close, due to selling by large profes sional houses, who find that the public is not yet ready to buy.
 The London market discount rate is IFS per cent. and firm on the large number of American bills offered Brokers quote for ward business on American bills at about 2 1-16 per cent. .-..

 New York, September 13.-The market started off this morning with indications that the reactionary period had come to an end. Prices in the railroad list advanced almost without exception under the stimu- Jus of higher prices for Americans in Lon don and sharp demand for Peoples Gas on reports that the dispute with the In- diana Gas company has been adjusted. Se- were depression in some of the specialtes, notably Brooklyn Transit Manhattan Min nesota Iron and Consolidated Gas, checked the upward movement. The bears sold the list freely and their confidence was justi- fled by the renewal of liquidation, induced by the decline of prices. There was stub- born resistance to the decline in some of the railroad stocks, but prices generally fell below yesterdays low point and dull ness intervened. The market was one of specialties during the greater part of the day, and some cheap declines were shown by quite number Sugar was advanced at oRe time on the usual buying in antici- patton of tomorrow's dividend disburse- ment, but dropped suddenly 4A from the top level in the late dealings and unsettled the whole market. Metropolitan Street Railway was also conspcuously weak. The uecldTdllOH Ol lne uSual quarterly ulVlQenu on Manhattan and Western Union did not avail to save those stocks from declines in the face of selling by brokers, usually ac- tive in the Gould stocks. The whole group sympathized in the weakness. Minnesota Iron, Illinois Steel and American Steel and Wire all suffered heavy losses.
 There were very confident assurances during the day that the period of possible stringency in the money market had passed, but the marking up of call loans the board to per cent detracted from the eff feet of these assurances. Sterling exchange held steady, however, and there is an un- doubted growth of belief that the present stiffness of call money rates is due to tech nical causes, the influence of which is not likely to extend far outside of the stock exchange, nor to endure there. No diff .culty is apprehended in providing for the payment of the remaining subscriptions on the government loan without strain on the money market, and the completion of this operation will work an autonomic in the money market.
 The bond market was rather neglected, and prices declined in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, $2,515000.
 Government bonds were unchanged.
 Money on call was firm at 4Q5 per cent; last loan at per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4@5 per cent; sterling exchange was steady with actual business in bankers bills at 4S4AQ4.S41a for demand, and at 4S2A04.S259 for sixty days; posted rates, 4.S3k@4S5h; commercial bills, ASIA.
