This improvement was lost. however, on advices from this side to the effect that the drouth was broken by rains In Texas. Our market in consequent declined to 5.70 for october. The extent of the Texas rains on which the market broke were only scattered sprinl<les in extreme North Texas and a fall of 80 at Montgomery. Ala Official government advices reported the tempera- ture in North Texas as moderating, which will give some relief to the plant in that section. But what is most needed Is ra1n Bulls and bears alike had their X-rays In use today in search of black clouds Austin telegraphed that black clouds were cem- ing from the northwest. and that the indi- cations for rain at that point were the best for some time. The market was very sen- sitive and while there has been no rain in Texas of consequence. it's action shows what would follow in the event of it occur ring. Should it come over night there will be a mixup at the ringside in the morning. On the other hand if it does not materiaI- ize the bulls will be rampant.

By Private Wire from L. De Gumoens &

 New York. August 24.-Numerous ae- counts from the south indicate very free and early movement. Some intimate that harvesting will be over in sixty days. Mean- while. Texas reports monopolize attention. The majority of these picture the situa- ton as so gloomy that the trade hesitates about credtting them being aware of the tendency of southern correspondents to exaggerate the facts. The question ap- pears to be what proportion of the crop has been absolutely cut off regardless ol future weather conditions The market opened with prices to points higher, taking. In the absence of much of short interest and something decisive from Texas, where the drouth today was un- broken. we are apt to witness frequent and wide iiuctuati Fair weather was indi- cated by the government report excepting a. Montgomery and insignificant rain at Amarillo, Tex The government bulletin , reported rain for Oklahoma Indian Ter ritory and states east of Texas. Texas in- dications were fair. but fear of moist ex- tending to that state unsettled the market and liquidation resulted in to points de- cline by D. m. Active trading Was in progress most of the day, but there was an absence of aggreSSiveness on the bear side and recent buyers were as rule dumping their holdings Spot quotations were reduced He. Futures were about 6 points lower at the close.

BUSINESS SMALLER :. IN COTTON MARKET Nervous Feeling in Evide1 lee

 at Loss of 5 to ? Points.
THE GOVERNMENT REPORT

New York, August 2.-There was de- cided laying off of attention paid to cotton futures by the general public, and the volume of business was smaller, probably, than for any one day since the eXcitment in cotton first set in.
 There was no reason for the change, as the average of crop news was quite as bullish heretofore, and there was noth- ing special in the English advices to justi- fy any material change in sentiment. Nevertheless the market declined rapidly after the momentum of yesterdays rise had expended itself in an advance of to , points confined to the opening call.
 Trading was, for a time, very active but liquidation soon commenced and few of the larger local bear operators accelerated the downward movement by pounding the market The government report indicated some possibility of rains in the northerly section of the cotton belt with no relief for the central and more southerly sec- tion. The market broke from the opening prices about F to l5 points.
 During the afternoon very nervous feel ing obtained and, while the extent of the variations became smaller, the course of tne market was such as to indicate very unset tied views. The market was finally steady at a net loss of to points.

 Cotton Letter
 By Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett. Agent. New York, August A.-Under influence of early Liverpool advices Q-16 advance on spots and about 2-64 on futures). and absence of rain in the south, our market opened 2GI4 above last night The market however lacked spirit and when Liverpdol began to report intermediate declines fn quick succession, naturally we followed with drop of point and especially when we found that Liverpool lost more than the morning advance
 At the decline orders came in from the south based on the early advances. Values rose again some points, assisted by local buying. when private advices from Hous- ton reported no signs of rain anywhere in the state. The official predictions we're for continued fairer and warm weather. but it failed to stimulate any new buying and an attempt to realize to locality.

Trampled TO Death.

Titus Snow of Wilmington lies at mis- resi-
dence fatally wounded as the result. Of run
away accident Thursday afternoon. His face,
limbs and body are terribly bruised and Ia
cersted and he suffers excrucatipg sgony
and pain. He is the victim of his yoke of
oxen, the team that two years ago came near
killing Louis Reynolds and which have run
away almost dailv since. The accident &C.
cured while Mr.. Stowe was in the act OF I'M
hitching the team from the heavi y loaded cart
he had placed board under the heavy pole
preraratory to removing the yoke and was
standing between the animals when one OF
them began kicking. He shouted to the an
imals and endeavored to extricate himself
from his perilous position. He eded
in getting in front of them just as they start
ed to run. In attempting to stop the team he
was kI ocked down, the huge brutes tramp
ling on his face and body. In the meantime
the cart, with its heavy load of earth and
stone, had tipped and as the vicious beasts
rushed on the PROSTATE form of the man was
drawn der the the box and dragged along
the ground distance of 100 feet, until the
the box tipped forward sufficiently TO allow
the body OF Mr.. Stowe to be released.
