easiness noted at the start The move ment, however. the all important factor. was not quite as heavy as the bears would have it. For tomorrow New Orleans and Houston combined were running against 42.s79 last year and 3s.9Ii in 1896. Local talent expected a decided falling off with these comparisons and sent large buying orders to New York, where Philadelphia was also found purchasing, the upshot or which was a rapid advance of points, when December here sold at 5s6. The an- nouncement of tomorrows receipts for New Orleans and Houston combined, 52OOO to 35,O00, fully filled expectations and the market was sustained. Cables from Liver pool were somewhat apprehensiVe lest there be a conflict in the Transvaal also to q dearer money market, and attributed the decline to these influences. The strength of the situation is the stiffness of southern spot markets. the moderate run of receipts and good export and southern mill demand. Liverpool finally closed hait sixty-fourth up, while our prices bid fair to remain above last Saturdays level.

LITTLE CHANGE IN E COTTON MARKET
 t
Weakness Caused by Unfavora-
 ble European News
RAINS IN THE SOUTHWEST
Opening Was Quiet With More or Less Irregularity, But the Prices Ral-
  lied and Maintained a Gener- ally Healthy Condition

New York, September 1S.-Not much headway was made in either direction so far as values were concerned on the cotton exchange today. After a quiet start, the market showed more or less irregularity, but rallied later in the forenoon and for the rest of the day exhibited generally healthy undertone, closing steady at d net gain of 2a4 points.
 The initial weakness grew out of un- favorable market as well as political news from Europe. News was made additional ly nervous by reports that rains in the southwest had been beneficial. As the ses- sion wore along subsequent information developed entirely new ideas as to the ef- fects of the rains in the southwest, it be- ing stated that the moisture had not only come too late, but had actually done con- siderable damage.
 There were reports of weakness in south- ern spot markets, but reports from the principal points denied this and stated that the frmness continues, with prices un- changed to 1-16 higher with good business doing.

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, September 1S.-The liquidation of weak and exhausted speculative counts was moro precipitate in this morn ing's market than at any time since the current reaction in the market set in. The decline in number of instances were fair ly nsatonal but while the trading, par ticularly at the opening. was demoralZed it could not properly be described as pan icky The dealings throughout the day presented many confusing and contradc tory characteristics. Thus, covering of short contracts began al the opening and was continued intermfttingly througout the day. Furthermore, the sharp declines that appeared in various quarters of the market were evidently extensive enough to attract the attention of the buyer for cash who seldom puts in his appearance except in similar circums tances. On the other hand the general liquidation was immense. and there was no quarter of the market where in it was absent. Aside from the money market and the South African situation there was nothing to engage attention. and in view of the overShadowing importance of these matters it is unlikely that other circumstances would have been accorded much notice. The most urgent liquidation seemed to be completed in the forenoon, and the subsequent dealings showed a general tendency toward recovery, the ral- lies in a number of stocks being particular ly sharp

By Private Wire from L. De Gumoens

By Private Wire from L. De Gumoens &
 Son.
 New York September 1S-The most un- satisfactory feature in the situation is the failure of the market to respond to the bullish outlook claimed for tine south, es- pecially in Texas. Extreme caution is be- ing shown and it would not require much to send the market up with a rush, but re- ceipts which hang over the market and prove the great unknown quantity. Aside from this it is difficult to see anything likely to disturb present prices. Southern corre- spondents report that cotton is being ab- sorbed there in every section to a greater degree than ever before known; in fact. spot cotton shows an unprecedented de- mand. Prices opened to lower, with ht- tie doing, the lower tendency being attrio- uted to very full receipts at the ports. Weather reports were of no special im- portance conditions being very favorable for picking outside of the Savannah dis tlict where 31s inches of rain was reported. Prices rose to points after the opening owing to a sudden improvement at Liver pool, where tne opening had been unsatis- factory and the close half higher. Spots there unchanged. Sales, 10000 bales. Liv- egpool sold here in the early market, and bought later. While the market was dull today, there was a feeling of greater con- fidence on the part of the bull crowd. AL though heavy rains fell in Texas, the ef- feet on trne market was nil Frost was of more importance. It may be said that con- fidence of a short crop is accommodating: that it would not be surprising to witness a much higher market ere long.

was burned to death. Soon afterward
Il neighbOr of Mrs. Meyers went to

The employees Of the Brooklyn. Ele,

with the trolley men, and it is consid1
cred as not at all Improbable that both

difficulty is reached very soon.
In one Of the riots that took place a

forty arrests. A considerable number
of these are in connection with the
stOning of President Rossiter's private

Since the strike was declared the
men who have taken the strikers
places have been kept busy lodging
stones. bricks and other missiles, and
the police have had their hands full

Der Of m0tOrmen and conductors have
been taken from the cars and SO rough
ly handled that they refused to take
any farther chances and gave up in

The principal cause of the difficulty
is that the employees demand that the
time tables shall be arranged on all
lines so as 10 comply with the ten hour

rate of wages shall be 500 for each

paid n 20 cents per hour: also that
