cotton goods manufacturing business
shows no Improvement, and that The
Chinese troubles having closed an ia
portant market for the time being,
threatens to still further unfavora bly,
influence business in the cotton products.
These circumstances are reflected ty the
small demand for spot cotton, while it
supplies has been on an unexpectedly
large scale.
The manipulation has, no yever, been
the important feature of the Wee (. On
last Tuesday a violent break Jas brought
about, followed en- the succeeding cay by
a recovery which represented difference
in August deliveries of nearly seventy
points between the extreme low and the
high quotation 1t would seem that there
is more or less of a fight between Zig
interests, the so-called clique at New
Orleans and Liverpool persiStug in its
determination to make old crop lotion sell
at above 10 cents before the expiration
of the cotton crop year. lney were
helped, of course, by the readiness of
Liverpool to listen to the ver} ouiish
estimate Of crop conditions ref3rred to
above, but even that market later n the
week showed an increased tendency to
govern itself by legitimate factors. Cir
cumstances do not favor any serious de-
cline in cotton prices, but successful ma
nipulaton seems to be the main reliance
for expectations of much higher values.

The receipt this week Of s., 500, 900 in gold

nominal, here, and call money hardened

gold exports next week The much
mooted question of how the large trade
balance in our favor has been paid or

IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med
icines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. c.
1t may be question whether the editor
of a newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market, yet
as a preventive of suffering we feel 1t
duty to say a good word for Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy We have known and used this medi-
mine in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In many
cases a dose of this remedy would save
hours of suffering while physician is
awaited. We do not believe In depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that If a bottle of Cham
berlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
tion of an attack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many cases the
presence of q physician would not be re-
qulred. At least this has been our exper-
fence during the past twenty years. For

Elements, the South sold the far months
LIVERPOOL purchased the summer and

Following the call demand from shorts
and scarcity of sellers caused prices to
advance quite sharply, though business
continued to hang fire. The cables from
Liverpool were no better nor worse than
looked for, the crop accounts from the
Eastern and Western sections of the belt
were fully as good as the average for
some years past, while accounts from
the central division were satisfactory IN
the long run. Warm local showers were
said to be beftting the crop over the
larger portion of the belt. The political
news was the main incentive OF the

cotton closed quiet; unchanged. Flu

points advance, the firmness being en-
tirely due to lacol covering on a small
scale.

npulation in the market for cotton con-
tracts Weather conditions at the Sou b
have improved, and reports agrees that
the crop is making a good progress. On
the other hand there are statements to
the effect that much damage was done
by the bad weather during June, and
that in some sections planted fields have
been abandoned. An estimate of a most
gloomy character, emanating from an au-
thcrity who last year distinguished him
self by predicting bumper crop, has had
some effect abroad, but has been viewed
with distrust by the cotton trade in this
country. 1t is also remarked that the

CHICAGO, August pa big cash
business was the prime factor in wheat
to-day, September closing 7sc higher
than Monday. September corn clos
ed 11ac up Oats a shade improved.
Provisions were fairly steady. Strength
and activity characterized the wheat
market nearly the whole session. The
excellent cash business was the broad
foundation stone on (which the strength
was founded. Cash sales were 100000
bushels and the seaboard reported 80
loads taken for export. Export clear
ings for 2 days were $500 bushels.
Liverpool closed IS pence higher. Do
meStic news was but little changed
decreasing southwest receipts rather
unfavorable weather in the northwest
and heavy western receipts. Septem-
Der opened at 741a to 741sc, a range of
price due to the instantaneous consld-
GRAFTON of the foreign bulfishness and
the heavy local receipts. The for
eignerS soon got the best OF 1t and I'M
der a general demand, in which shorts
were clam0rouS, the market advanced
to 751s@Ac. Having started upward
there was scarcely any reaction and
tine close was strong, September Bc
higher at 75QBc. Primary receipts
were 1,421 900 bushels compared with
$4,000 bushels last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 293 cars against

Cal receipts e days. Were 976 cars, AZ

Corn was active and strong, specula-

ruling motive as it has been for some
time past Liverpool was up IA to 1ss
pence and the Seaboard reported 80
loads taken for export Cash sales here
were 500, 900 bushels, nearly all for for
eign shipment. The shipping demand
would have absorbed more than 1T did,
had holders been willing to make even
slight concessions in prices. There was
a further decrease in stocks, the local
contract now being only 321, 900 bushels
while the stocks in public and private
elevators are but 1,5S5,000 bushels.
Cash corn acceptanceS show some gain
to-day but were still light. Local re-
ceir7ts were Asst cars. September sold
between 39Ac and Ale and closed 112c
I'D at Ale. Oats were firm but quiet.
The strength of other grains sustained
the market in the face OF some liberal
offerings, a good demand for export
was reported, the quantity sold being
but $40, 600 bushels. Receipts were I6o
cars. September sold between 2l9sc
and 2134c, closing shade higher al

Provisions were fairly steady. The
ease and grace with which the market
absorbed liberal offerings of Lard from

LETAL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The feature
in metal circles to-day was the low
record made in spelter for this year at
London, that article touching G19 Is
6p, while it tended TO give weak un-
dertone in the local market, but failed
to affect prices materially. Pig iron
warrants are offered at 5000, with
buyers conspicuous by their absence,
and the market closed weak Copper
was quoted higher at London. Lake
copper closed at 1880. Lead was dull
and unchanged at s4.371z. The total
expectation Of pig iron from the
United States during the first seven
months of this year amounted to $3.50
tons, against a total OF 162 1886 tons tor
the same period year ago. The
brokers price for lead was S4.oO and
for copper s16.75116.ST&.
