NARROW RANGE IN COTTON MARKET Volume of Transactions Were

THE OPENING WAS STEADY

New York, August 29.-The entire range of tiuctuation in cotton futures today was but points and the total transactions were the smallest for any day in many weeks, conservatively estimated at 5000 bales. After opening steady with prices 8 points higher to 1 point lower, demand from few shorts placed the trading level to points above the final bids of last night During the rest of the day depart ure from this basis was unimportant and on all sides hestitation and indifference was manifested.
 The cables from Liverpool were slightly better than anticipated in view of the fact that crop reports and weather conditions south were more reassuring, cut little fig ure as an influence upon professional sen timent.
 The public had little interest in the mar ket and was indisposed to make fresh over lures until after the holidays The weather chart denoted good rains in the extreme western belt, with showers in the central and eastern portions of the belt. Rumors that "squeeze" of August shorts was to be attempted in Liverpool were given color by the announcement in the public advices that the August con tracts had advanced 10A points for the day, equal to more than 30 points in our market. The close was easy with prices net unchanged to ? points lower.

 BY 4 STEvEDORE For Attempting to Use a Shovel With Violent Intent in
 the City Prison.

Mack Dunlap, negro prisoner at the city jail, was severely stabbed by John Higgins, a white prisoner, yesterday morn- ing.
 Huggins is steyedore, and says Dunlap refused to be locked up in a cell, when Huggins insisted on his going into the cell he claims the negro picked up a shovel and attempted to strike him, whereupon he stabbed the negro. Walter Whitfield, a white prisoner, claims to have struck Dun lap twice with a poiiceman's s club.
 Dunlap claims that he was standing on the stairway inside the prison to avoid the lime dust with which the prison was filled at the time. The noise made by the three men attracted the attention of Warden Newman and he and others who were in his office at the time went up and separ- ated the combatants.
 City Physician Whelan was notified and went to the prison to dress Dunlap wounds.
