New York, Aug. 26-The small volume
of spot business In Liverpool and the
weakness of the English cotton market
for futures, as indicated by early cables
was a distinct disappointment, in view
of the steadiness developed yesterday by
our market which opened to-day at a de-
cline of 1G3 points steady in tone. Later
there was a rally, without anything in
particular to explain it, and prices were
worked up to a gain of 3Q5 points on yes
terday's prices Still later the market
eased off again, but steadied near the
close There was an absence of support
of any kind, and most of the time the
market dragged.
This was the first day for notices Of
the intention to deliver cotton on Septem-
Der contracts; these only amounted to
5000 to 5000 bales, easily and promptly
taken care of. One element reported that
yellow fever had been discovered on the
outskirts of Galveston. Later, outskirts
had it that New orleans had established
a temporary quarantine as a result
which the small receipts al that point
to-day would seem to bear out the re-
ports. The future market closed steady
at a net gain Of to 5 points.

New York Aug 26.-Hubbard Bros. G.
Co. say of cotton to-day: "A report of
suspicious case of fever at Galveston caus-
ed an advance in Liverpool to-day, after
the weaker opening, as it was thought
there might result an interruption to the
free movement of the crop. The opening
was weak in sympathy with foreign adj
vices and our market quickly rallied, be-
coming duh as soon as the foreign mar
kets were closed. Rains fell yesterday In
Texas, where they were needed and on the
whole, the crop may be said to be prom
isng. The Atlantic states have suffered
from the recent rains, but the damage
does not appear to be irreparable Europe
has not bought the usual amount of for
ward shipments and expects to secure its
raw material on lower basis than for
many years, believing that a large yield
on top of the largest crop on record,
means a surplus which will weigh heaY-
lily"
