New York cotton.

New York August 11.-At the cotton ex-
change today all was excitement Buying
orders poured In from all directions. Prices
improved raurly after the market had opened
steady at an advance of 2Gi6 points and at one
time values showed gain of i5G21 points on
the figures of the previous day. The excite
ment was finally arrested by proat-taking
on the theory that the upward movement had
been too rapid. The advance this week having
been about Nc led some conservative owners
to part with their holdings. But as a rule
the bullsh sentiment was so strong that no
sooner had longs sold than they showed an
anxiety 10 get their holdings back again. The
shorts were badly scared; less on account OF
the bad oroD accounts from Texas than they
were by The bun contecion that appeared To
be spreading in all directions. Today buying
represented orders from the grain people,
dry goods houses, foreigners planters and
cotton spinDcrs, The result was a larger
volume of business than has been transacted
on the exchange In any one day for months
During the session the market made FREE
duent fluctuations. partly owing to the efforts
OF the bears to break the upward movement
but in the main the course OF the market
was evenly upward.
In the afternoon the market became quieter
and reacted several points under the taking
OF profits The close was very steady ut a
net gain OF ID to IL points.

NOTES OF The MARKETS.
office of The Post,
Houston. Friday, August II.

Houston, Friday, August II.
The receipts Of fruit today were light. thers
beng hardly enough to make market,
Peaches were of poor quality and sold low
down. A nice lot of pears was received from
East Texas by NJ. Allen, being about the best
seen on the market this season. Apples are
improving little in quality. though ship
ments from local points are light and are now
finding competition in the Northern fruit
which has begun to arrive freely.
All classes of poultry are scarce Receipts
for several days have been light and mo-
ulum quality find ready sale at fair prices.
though to overstock the market during the
excessive hot weather would force prices very
low as dealers will not carry stocks ON hand.
Lemons are worth a dollar more today in
New York than two weeks ago. and there is
no probability of decrease in price rather ad-
vances can be looked for until the new crop
begins to arrive freely.
There is little stir in the market for nuts,
but firm feeling prevails, which promises
good business in the near future. According
to present information from about all pro-
ducing centers. the prices of several of the
most wanted varieties will rule higher this
year than last.
Peanuts continue high and firm because of
the scarcity reported from all centers where
stock is usually held.
The crop of Valencia raisins promises to be
large and of excellent quality.
Advices from New Orleans reported steady

outlook for Dry Goods.

Just at this time the outlook for the fall
dry goods trade is very promising. For sew
oral months there has been record breaking
activity In cottons, and the mills have sold
orders far ahead of their capacity and are
now in many instances unable to M con-
tracts.
In woolens the; same conditions exist. The
wool market has been entirely satisfactory
for most grades advances OF from 20 10 Is
per cent having been made within the past
four months. and manufacturers are clamor-
Ing for the raw product being unable to get
enough to meet future orders already sold
All lines OF millinery and other notions are
experiencing better demands than for years
and manufacturers are working overtime TO
I'LL orders.
The export demand for textiles has incr eased
on big scale during the past few months
aud there arc many cotton goods leaders who
predict that within hye years the export trade
Of the world In this line will belong TO tho
