New York, July 19.-There has been

day with more bearable weather condl-
lions and business has picked up some

COTTON.
New York, July 19.-Today's events In
the cotton market were anything but
smooth and regular. Influences bearing
upon the market were numerous and con-
flicting while speculation much of the
time was active. The market opened two
points higher to three points lower. A
quick change of front on the part OF
Liverpool created distrust in local bull
circles and later stampeded longs into
an excited dash to unload cotton accumu-
lated yesterday. The bear faction Wig
orously hammered the entire list, though
directing enOrtS more especially dSaiHSe
the August option, which for weeks past
has been the football of both sides. From
942 that contract tumbled perpendicu-
larly to go, with the new crop months
following at lively rate. The cables
portrayed panic among holders abroad.
The break in the English market was
variously attributed to a declaration OF
war against China by Russia. to excep-
tionally bearish crop reports from the
South, and to the appearance OF a large
selling orders from America. The de-
cline here ceased, following a rally OF
three points abroad. From $40 August
here quickly shot up to 926, after which
there was another weak spot under fresh
general selling, with August finally rest
ing at 915 In the early Afternoon shorts
to take profits, forced the summer de-
livery to 9.3O But once more liquidation
swept prices downward and during the last
hour fluctuations were radical in both
directions with the talent practically in
control of the market. New Orleans
backed up it's bear principles by selling
here on all the steadier intervals
The market closed steady in tone, with
prices net five to nineteen points lower

Clerk of Council Bailey.
The showing is regarded as a very sat
isfsctory one, the number of appropria-
IONS which are overdrawn being more
than balanced by the number which are
underjraWn. The house drainage account
shows the largest excess, the expenditures
for this work being 1913, 1885, while the
appropriation was only $4,000, showing
an excess OF $lS,SO59o. 1hls is due to the
fact that it was deemed advisable to push
the house drainage work while all the con-
diticns were favorable and the forces well
organized rather than to leave the entire
system in an incomplete state. AS matters
are now nearly three-fourths of the sys-
TEN is ready for use.
The appropriation for he streets and

explained by the fact that $12, 1856
