COTTON CLOSED STEADY.
1t Rallies Owing to Reported Rains
in Texas.

New York, Sept Hubbard Bros &
Co. say of cotton to-day: European ad-
vices were disappointing. and our market
opened lower, but the absence of further
good rains in the drought sections caused
the market to close steady. Good showers
fell along the coast at Beeville, Calves
ton, Columbia and Beaumont. Light
showers at Houston, Oh; Lampasas, Is;
Longview, on; Paris. .O5; Corpus Christi,
.O6, and Lerrville. Monday being a holi-
day, the market was limited one. though
remarkably steady in face of the heavy
movement, due undoubtedly to the alb
sence of good rains in Texas and the pre-
diction of continued warm dry weather
IN the Southwest The temper of the
trade and of the many arriving European
buyers is decidedly bearish, based on
disbelief in any damage to the Texas crop,
and the expectation of lower prices as the
result of the movement.

savannah, Sept. 2.-The close of the
weeks business did not bring great &C
-vItv in any of the departments. All en-
wed a fairly good business. considering
ne fact the close of the week marked
the end of the month, when all branches
n trade experienced a lull owing to the
.nsb in winding up accounts. The pros
,aots are that with favorable weather
conditions a good pace will be set during
the next week for September business.
There was a fairly good business doing
in the cotton market. The daily sales are
beginning to show up we'll, and The next
ten DAYS is expected to bring about decid-
Cd improvements. The number of char
tars forecasts a good cotton movement
during September, and it is the opinion
the first month of the cotton year will
bring satisfactory results. The local mar
1<et ruled firm at previous quotations. Ad-
vices from the North were to the effect
that prices opened below Fridays clos
Inc. but were sustained by large buyers,
who came into the market. There was
little business doing, however, as many
of the large exchanges were preparing 10
observe Labor day. The desire to even
ljp accounts in anticipation of the holiday
doubtless helped to make a quiet market
Naval stores held firm position. While
large buyers had the spirits market COW
cred with a bid of 44c, a large lot of the
offerings were eagerly taken up at 41ac,
the market price. AS is the case with all
the other departments, last months mat
ters are wound up. and the way is just
opening for new business. The fact buy
ers have been slightly neglected during
the busy season may have something to
do with creating an increased demand
Resins were firm at previous quotations.
Commission men were busy during the
dav preparing quotations for the coming
week While there are not many changes,
some things have advanced This is the
case with lemons, which jumped from 50
to $3.50 a box. The rise is attributed by
some to an increased demand and small
receipts. Eggs are firm at quotations given
in the market report. The poultry mar
ket during the day ruled rather duh, ex-
cent for small fowls, which are in good
demand. The demand for ducks and
geese was very light. The following re
