COTTON MARKET RANGED DOWNWARD Prices Were Irregular But at All
 Times Active. TRADING NOT PROGRESSIVE Final Phases Bearish on Expectation of Weak Gables This Morning
 Close Was Barely Steady
 At Net Loss.
TRADING NOT PROGRESSIVE

New York, August 4.-Today's cotton market wavered downward, although at one time 1t was about ten points above the closing point of Saturday. The market Was irregular and at all times active. The character of the trading, however, was not progressive, and parties Who have been building long interests found their holdings to be topping, and a considerable part of the attention of the professional element was directed towards undermining this class of holdings.
 But bulls were numerous, and parties were found to absorb the cotton thus of fered. checking the decline when it reached a level of 10 points under the final figures of Saturday. The main swings of the mar ket were follows:
 The opening call started at a decline of points and finished at an advance of to joints, or, say, total of S010 points on Saturdays figures. This upward move ment was due to the fact that the English market had not declined to match the loss here Saturday, while no rains were re- ported for the southwest, and private ad- vices were particularly bad from Louisi- ana, Mississippi and Texas. Other sections also sent in very bad reports.
 Later, however, there was a period of active liquidation following rumors of rains in Texas and elsewhere The market was very sensitive and ready to respond to anything that looked like a breaking up of the long drought in the southwest. The final phases of todays market were bear fsh on the expectation of weak cables to- morrow morning. The market closed barely steady at net loss of to 10 points.

EMM0NS co. CASE
Judge Winchester Hears a Continuance
of the Emmons County Case
Last Night.
Decides That the Records Must Come
Back to Williamsport Before
Decision.
The County Seat Removal.

The County Seat Removal.
The Emmons county seat removal
case cam up before Judge Winchester
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. With
the opening of the case this time it de-
veloped new phase, the issue at trial
being whether OF not the county seat
should be removed and arising out of the
legality of the election, and it transpir-
ing since the court last sat on the ques-
ton that the records of the county had
been removed by force. Auditor Brad
dock and John Wild were first placed on
the stand and testified that the books
and records had been removed to Linton
forcibly by a body of citizens. This test-
imony was introduced merely to show
that the defendants had no part in the
removal. An adjournment was then
taken to 1880 last evening.
At the evening session the two ballot
boxes which were not brought in at the
last trial were introduced in evidence
and examined by the court. Nothing
new was developed by the examination.
Judge Winchester refused to rem
der a decision in the premises at this
time and demanded that the records be
returned to Williamsport before he de-
livered his ultimatum. He deemed it a
smirch on the fair name of Emmons
county that such a course should have
been adopted and went on record as say
ing that they must be brought back and
that he would see that they
were. The defendants then agreed
to see that the records were returned
and an adjournment was taken until
next Tuesday, when upon being shown
that things have been again placed in
order he will give out his decision. The
judge also stipulated hat the wall of the
court house at Williamsport which had
been battered down during the removal
fracas be again placed in repair. Since
the records have been removed to Lin
ton no county business has been trans
acted and things generally seem to be in
a very bad way. One gentleman who
from the southern part of the
county where the removal sentiment is
unusually strong stated hat it would be
a difficult matter to get the records
back.
