The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

W "
New York. Aug. 30.-The speculative
movement In cotton futures was, taking
the day as a whole, less active. but tho
marked. Liquidation Of out side long ac-
counts was the feature of the days trad
ing and the general course OF prices re-
widely scattered and heavy long interest
Every rally in prices to-day brought on
an avaianehe Of selling. The market .op-
steady at a decline of 6dil2 points. This
a break In the Texas drought, although
nine PLACES reporting n rainfall OF only a
trace 10 l.ii" AS an actual benefit to
the growing cotton this could not be said
siole copious rains 1t received marked at
tenGon, and caused a good deal Of sell
inE; Apart from the question of receipts,
week pointed 10 total movement Of 7S.-
COO to $4,000 bales, against $1,000 for the
corresponding week last year, while the
total OF l3.203 bales, against 4,73S for the
corresponding date a year ago. The dis
turbed condition of political affairs in
factor. although 1t exerted little direct In
tiuence. Several times the market rallied
sharply, but this was due to covering
lat!ye demand. During the afternoon SEN
timent was still beaHsh, with expecta-
lions generally fixed for a full response
to-day. But the local contingent was con-
servatIve pending further crop accounts.
The market closed quiet at net decline
OF 9610 points.

WHITE LILAC.

Paris in May, when the lilacs are in
bloom! Brightness, gayety, sunshine and
the fragrant scent of the lilacs everywhere
What place is not beautiful in the first
flush of summer? But more especially so
is the gay French capital! Life is not SO
complex to these Gallo people. They take
the good things Of the present, forgetting
the sorrow of yesterday. Paul Waring
was conscious of keen pleasure in his hol
iday rs he sat lazily turning a cigar be-
tween his fingers and looking out on the
sunny courtyard of the hotel.
His room was in tho annex, and very
high up, selected with an eye to economy.
But what does poverty matter when one
is only % and life still stretches out IN an
endless vista with all it's glorious possibil-
titles? 1t says much for Paul that he had
still faith in himself.
''Therc she is again!"
The exclamation came Involuntary
from his lips as the windows of a room on
the first floor of the hotel were thrown
open and Il woman appeared. Young ard
with lovelincss Of that rare type which
seems almost too ethereal for this work
tday world, she mado q beautiful picture
as she stood framed in the woodwork of
background. In her hands was big
spray Of white lilac, ard ms Paul looked
Town eagerly she raised her eyes and
swept n long, searching glance over the
windows opposite. Then for the space of
second her eyes met his and with an al
most imrerceptible motion of recognition
she turned away.
"Was it intentional?" Tho vainest man
could hot be quite certain, and, although
Paul waited patiently, there was no other
sign. Twice before he had seen her, and,
although unacknowledgcd, it was this
vague expectation that kept Paul dawdling
in his ROOM
"PshGw, am an IDIOT Why should
sho not look from her window If she wants
to? Still, I'll go out, ;" which wise resolu-
ton he Immediately put into practice.
But he fingered for moment near the
fountain, which was directly under the
fair unknown's window. Did she watch
for him? A tiny spray of lilac from an
unseen hand fell ut his feet. For more
than all evening Paul sat in his room re-
gardless of all engagements, but the cur
tains opposite remained closed. "a CO.
quette my fair little lady. Well, better
luck tomorrow"
mon ami" his chum D'Albert said to
him, "what is the matterp You are quite,
as you express it yourself, 'glum.' Is it
indigestion or line of the new libretto
that troubles you? Debts sit lightly on
you, know, and you have never been in
love. BE gay, my friend. A countryman
of yours, Anstruthcr, is coming to supper
in my studio
Paul laughed lightly In answer to his
friends raillery, but vouchsafed no ex-
PLANTATION.
A momentary glimpse of her the next
day; slight motion of a white hand
that was all. In the evening the windows
were open. and the curtains drawnAfag
