New York, Sept 3.-The cotton market

lower. Following the call the trading
basis was 2 to 3 points under the final
figures of yesterday with business eX-
ceptionably light. The easier feeling
was directly due to Il weak set of Eng
dish cables. Considering the weakness
abroad, our market exhibited relative
ly steady front. Reports Of further
heavy rains in the eastern portion OF the
cotton belt and bearish crop accounts
generally checked bear selling, ana LED
the more confident bulls to increase
their holdings in small way.
Speculation was very slack in the
forenoon with the close quiet ut Il net

LOCAL sToCK MARKET.
HAVEN AND STOUT'S COTTON
REPORT.

New York. Sept 3-(Special) -The
market for the week has been fcyerisf
and easily influenced by few orders
either way. Fluctuations in prices.
though frequent, were confined within
narrow limits. Quotations have risen
slightly toward the end of the week due
TO more liberal purchases by spinners at
Liverpool and reports of severe storms
and spreading yellow fever at the South.
In addition the weekly government re-
port states that the climatic conditions Of
the previous week were unfayorable to
cotton, all of which has naturally pro-
duced some covering by the shorts. The
government monthly crop report, to be
issued next Saturday, is expected to be
bullish in its tenor but it is possible that
this may prove as groundless as that en-
tertained prior to the issue of the report
of August 10th. Looking at the crop
situation through the fog of contradic-
tory reports, there appears the substan-
tial fact that the coming crop promises
to be a large one. As the matter of n
late or early fall enters so largely into
the final result, present estimates must
be taken with a degree of allowance but
it may nevertheless be mentioned that
many well posted houses and even the
Farmers Alliance itself seem to be trim
ming their sails for a yield in excess
Of 100000 bales, which, following las
years crop now stated to have been H.
l2J.000 bales. can have only one effect
on prices. While at the moment quotd-
tons are very low for 50 early in the
season. they are not the lowest for he
crop moving months of former years The
general opinion seems to be that the rul
ing quotations will seem high when look
ed back upon ninety days hence. The

New England States shows very little. if
any. Improvement, but outside of this

DOCTORS ADDICTED TO DRUGS.

Many New York Physicians Wrecked
by Constant Use of Narcotics.
The majority of professional men of
this city who become addicted to the
habitual use of drugs are physicians,
and this fact was strikingly illustrated
few years ago by the success of n
young doctor who has since become one
of the best-kn0wn men in his profess
sion When he had been out of college
for only few years n lecturer in one
of the city colleges decided TO decrease
the number of his lectures preparatory
to retiring altogether from work. At
that time there were three young ply
sicians equally qualified to succeed
him. and it was decided that the choice
should be settled by allowing the men
to lecture for a certain period and Sc
lecting from them the one who was
