 Newport, R. l., July 13.-A trio of society women is setting the pace here for the fol- lowers of the automobile fad They are Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Mrs Herman Oel- richs and Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. New port is auto-mad. The horseless steed has taken possession of Ocean and Bellevue Avenues, as well as the less pretentious thoroughfares, and is by far more popular than even during its halcyon days of last season. Although the women mentioned have been severally prominent, 1t remains for a yachting party to bring them to- gether in procession. This occurred when all had been out on sail on the seventy footer Virginia.

 TOOK A TUMBLE Following a Severe Break in the

SHOWERS IN COTTON BELL

New York July 14.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 3 to points, following a severe break in the English market. After the call the market devel- oped weakness of its own under generally bearish advices from the crop country The official weather chart indicated warm show CTS in nearly every portion of the cotton territory, which private dispatches said were timely and would greatly benefit the crop. On the decline Liverpool and the continent opened liberal sellers of the Au- gust contract which easily led the rest of the list in the downward course.
 The South sold the distant months, room shorts quietly gathered in profits; while longs sold out, having become tired of the unsatisfactory tactics of the market Trad ing was fairly active for a Saturday half holiday, though new speculation, especially for outside account, did not come to light The bulls were disquieted by the gloomy political outlook in China. The market closed steady with prices net F to 40 points lower, having broken at the close under a bull stampede and heavy bear hammering.
 The fears of holders were based upon expected weak cables Monday and favor able weather predictions. August longs were panic-stricken and dumped over great blocks of old long stuff. There was slight reaction at the very finish. New York, July 4-Cotton quiet; mid ding, 10c; gross receipts, 347; stock, 41,941.
 Total today: Net receipts, 2,6S0; exports to Great Britain 2,549; to the continent l. 250; stock, 155, ,6S5.
