New York Cotton.

New York. August 17.-Tho cotton market
was less active today. The first call deyel-
Of ed weak feeling. with prices points high
or to points lower, Later the general mar
ket showed general decline OF to points,
liquidation being the cause. following unsatis-
factory cables aud lack OF outside specu-
iatiVe support. The market rallied partially
later on unsatisfactory weather conditions in
the cotton belt. it being feared that INSULT
clent rain had fallen. The fact that the
weather in Texas continues very hot, as we'll
as in other parts of the Southwest added to
the apprehens!ons OF the bear contingent, In
connection with the. fact that no rains are in
dictated by the government forecast.
During the afternoon the market was com
paratiyely tame but generally steady. There
was some selling during the latter part OF the
session for short account. ON the theory that
the higher prices ruling for cotton would
stimulate an early movement of the new crop
ana that the influence of receipts would be to
keep spot buyers from anticipating their
wants to any great extent, thus leading to
stock accommodations. An element in the con-
hdence OF the bulls is the favorable condition
OF the cotton goods market and the outlook
for an exceptional consumption OF cotton. The
market was finally steady at a net gain OF
to points.

IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTION.
How the German Chamber Views tn,
Question.

How the German Chamber Views the
Question.
Missoula Aug. 31.-The Journal of
Commerce, published at Frankfort,
Germany, in its issue of Aug. 9, con-
tains the following article which will
be of local interest at present:
During the investigation to protect
Germany from the introduction of the
San Jose scale through American
fruits last year by the German govern
ment, the parings of American fruit
sent to Germany for the purpose of
manufacturing jelly from them also
underwent strict inspection. The CEN
trail committee of the Horticultural So
ciety of Rhenish Prussia and the ex-
ecutive board of the society of jelly
makers of Germany prayed the bundles
rath for the introduction of bill pro-
hibiting the traffic in American par
ings, cores and choppings of apples and
pears, as this would be the only way
to protect the orchards of the country
from the introduction of the San Jose
scale. The chamber of commerce of
Alfeld was asked to give it's opinion
upon the wisdom of the introduction of
such bill, and replied as follows:
g According to the statistics of this
country, there are six large and num-
Der of small manufacturers of jellies
and marmalades. They show that 90
tU OF German l0,0Uu tons OF American
and $4,000 tons of fruit from other coun-
tries were used The majority of the
large manufacturers are opposed to the
introduction of the measure for prohibit
ting the importation of American fruit,
