fate that befell d. w Bingham, a promi-
ment farmer of Bradford county. at his

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Aug. S.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
say: The advance in Liverpool to-day was
sharp answer to our advance of yester-
day and found response at our opening
From this point there was a recession
caused by realizing by yesterdays buy
ers being decline of points. Liverpool
Closing steady at the best prices led to
increased buying here for local account
and covering by the shorts who feel the
bureau report may not show the improve
ment which private advices report as hav-
ing occurred during July. Commission
merchants receive many favorable reports
from the crop and the weather appears
good for a continued improvement. The
trade, however, are uneasy over the ap-
proach of the bureau report and the local
rains in Texas. This character of wealth
er in the past has generally made a large
yield, but the small supply creates good
uneasiness at the possibilities of injury
New York, Aug. S.-Murphy & Co. say
Liverpool sent surprisingly strong advices
this morning and caused a rather feversh
opening, though this market did not re-
spond to the bullish cables, and at the
advance bears sold freely Liverpool
bought near and sold far months. Trad
ing has been on a large scale and the
market has ruled very feverish and irreg-
ular. Weather reports not favorable Our
advices from South Carolina, Alabama and
Georgia not very good. We look for an
erratic market pending the bureau report
and expect further advance unless crop
accounts become decidedly more favor
able. The bureau is expected to show an
improvement of to 10 per cent. If it
only reports condition of so against 20
last month the market would probably i'm
prove, as the interest is an unusually short
one.

DAGGETT's BODY FOUND.
Discovered a Mile From Where the
Tragedy Occurred.

From the Charleston News and Courier,
Aug. 8.
The searching party, headed by Mr..
Chris Filter, on the sloop Catherine. which
had been chartered by Stonewall Lodge,
X. of P, went down to HAWAII yester-
day to look for the bodies of Mr.. Walter
Daggett and Mr. Lindsay Hope and found
both at about o'clock in the morning.
The body of Mr. Daggett was washed up
on the beach of Bird Island, a small
sandy islet just opposite Kiawah, and
about one mile from the scene of the ac-
cident. Mr.. Hopes body was found on
the back beach of Hawai- Island, about
che quarter of a mile from the other.
The bodies We're put on beard the sloop
as quickly as possible and with this sad
lead the searchers returned to the city
last night.
Coroner Duffus viewed the remains and
then they were taken to undertakes
rooms to be prepared for burial. In or
der to comply with the law an inquest
must be held, but, of course, there is no
doubt in any ones mind about the cause
of death. The bodies were net mutilated
in any way to suggest an attack by
sharks, as was once urged. but they must
have evidently either given up from IA
tigue or been seized with cramps.
The funeral services of the late Walter
l.. Daggett will be held at Magnolia Gem
etery at $50 o'clock. The funeral services
of the late Mr.. Hope will be held in Bethel
NJ E. Church yard at IL O'Clock this morn

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Movement of Prices Trivial ana
insignificant.

New York, Aug. S.-The stock market
to-day was even duller than yesterday
and the movement of prices was trivial
and insignificant without any important
exception. The room traders sod stocks
in the mroning impelled apparently by
the heavy volume of gold to be exported.
Estimates were put out that the amount
of shipments to-day and tomorrow would
amount up to over 100000. When it was
seen that the total would not exceed SIS

was the usual professional dealing in Su-

subscriptions to the new British exche-
quer bonds continued 40 absorb q large
amount OF discussion and surnise in Wall
street. AS an evidence of the large re-
sources of capital available to the coun-
try the incident was generally accepted
as subject for national congratulation
to which the London money market is be-
ing subjected and possible results on the
world al large of these conditions, it was
not regarded as reassuring.

England of the large allotment made to
the United States and the apologize tone
OF the explanation to Parliament by the
chancellor of the exchequer that the
policy adopted was forced by money con-
siderations which might also be classed
as embarrassed. The real cause looming
big behind the movement of gold is the
expenditure and preparations for war,

New York, Aug. S.-The cotton market

Tor the change was a degree of conflict
in the crop accounts. The bull contin-
