evening as to what effect his postponing his promised estimate of the cotton crop from December 1 to a later date would have upon cotton. virtually removed the props upholding the recent advance as the market was loaded with long cotton which was held for confirmation by the government of Mr. Neills figures. While there is no reason given for withholding his statement from the public other than that the crop is difficult to report on, the fact remains, though a delay may not add anything to the size of the>crop, that such set backs are disappointing to holders which naturally creates disturbance detrl- mental to the price. The course of the market, seven points down on the curb Saturday and twenty points lower today, illustrates this fact. Uneasiness was also engendered into the market by alarming rumors concerning the health of the CZar of Russia. Another depressing effect was visible in the gain of Houston stock since last Friday of 16,595 bales, almost as much as the total gain for the thirteen towns last Wednesday, This increase is not due to heavy receipts altogether but principal ly to smallness of shipments form that point Tomorrow's receipts for New or leans and Houston are placed at liberal figures, combined 45, ,000-4S GOO against 3D. 749 last year, and were instrumental also in lowering of todays markets.

ANOTHER SLUMP IN
 THE COTTON MARKET Prices Went Off on Formidable
 Array of Bear Influences

THE DECLINE WAS MATERIAL

New York, November 26.-It was day of sore trial and disappointment to the friends of cotton and many pet ideas as to the probable course of events concerning values in the near future were destroyed by the first half hour. Whereas every thing during the previous week had seemed to favor a bull movement of no mean pro- portions, indications this morning before the opening call appeared to dissolve this and showed a tendency toward a disas- trous break under overwhelming bear de- yelopments. The cables were astonishing ly weak with Liverpool credited with hay ing sent many selling orders to our pit Private reports had it that the Czar was dying, that Europe was being flooded with selling orders from Southern spots and re- ceipts during the next few weeks would considerably exceed that volume of the last ten days. Under this formidable array of bearish influences longs forced over great blocks of cotton purchased around 9.S0 to 0.sO for January on the belief that 10-cent cotton was assured.
 The market opened easy with prices down to 20 points, under the pressure thus brought to bear Although they were low the figures seemed to be the best of the session, as the liquidating proeess<con- tinued in full sway to the very close. The South sent selling orders in great numbers and Wall street dumped over many thou sand bales which shorts desiring profits were unable to absorb. There seemed to be no bottom in sight and while occasional fve-point rallies occurred the general ten- dency of the market was steadily down. ward. In the early afternoon the last hopes of the bulls was swept away by es- inmates for large receipts at New Orleans and Houston tomorrow and by official noti- ficatlon that Southern markets were easier and from 1-16 to B lower.
 The New Orleans speculative market presented a weak front and on every hand were evidences that supporters of cotton were retreating while the bears were mo- mentarily gaining strength. At the close the market was steady at a decline of 27431 points about the lowest level of the day.

TRADE REVIEW.
ucts Are Due In n Measure to
Improved Crop Conditions.

New York, July 2l.-Bradstreet's says:
Improved crop conditions furnish the
keynote of the trade and price movement.
AS a result OF them nearly all staple agri-
cultural products are lower In price, and
at the same time a perceptible livening
up of demand for fall delivery Is noted
at the west. northwest and south. The
beginning of fall trade is consequently more
clearly visible in the sections mentioned.
while at the east the markets are slower
TO experience this Improvement, and are
consequently reasonably dull. Bank clear
ings as yet fail TO reflect any .perceptible
Improvement in distribution and railway
earnings, though of large volume, are, ow-
ing to comparisons being made with ex-
ceptionally good results last year, showing
less notable increases both in gross and net
returns. An increased cost of repairs, bet
ternents, fuel and wages are unitedly re-
sponsible for this latter feature, because
gross receipts for later periods show con-
tnued. though small, gains.
"Hog products have gone lower with corn,
as has also wheat. in which continued liqui-
dalton has been noted, with the result of in
ducing a partial return of the export in
quiry banished from the market by the
recent heavy rise. On the basis of a crop
OF 550.000000 bushels total crop, the out
look is that an export Of 1872 600 TO $780,
100000 bushels will be possible without re-
ducing visible and farm supplies mate
rally from the totals estimated held on

SUMS RAYS PROVE FATAL.
New York AIone-Boston and
Philadelphia AIso suffer.

New York, July l9.-The hot
weather Wednesday caused or con-
tributed toward the death of more
than 20 persons in this city and vicin-
ity. AS many more stricken ones are
in the hospitals, and some of them
will succumb before many hours.
More than half the fatalities were
among babies and little children, and
there are now about 40 bodies of the
little ones lying at the morgue at
Bellevue. Wednesday was the third
day of the spell of intense heat. Late
at night the temperature moder-
ated. Early in the morning the sun
began its deadly work. and before the
day was fairly well started the hospi-
tails were busy. On the streets the
temperature ranged from 90 to 105,
and the official record from the wealth
er bureau, high above ground, was "a
degrees shortly, before o'clock p. m.
Reports from Boston, Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh also tell of excessive
heat. In Boston between 80 and 40
prostrations were reported with three
deaths, 40 cases with six deaths at
Philadelphia and two deaths at Pitts
burgh.
New York, July 2O.-The hot spell,
which has lowered over New York and
vicinity for the past four days, causing
great suffering among rich and poor
alike, is over for the present. During
the night brisk wind from the north
west, laden with cooling cheer, drove
out to sea the stored-up heat and hui
nudity Of the past four days, and Thurs
day morning there was big drop in the
temperature.
