 New York; July 19.-The Commercial-Ad- vertiser's London Financial Cablegram says:
 There was unusual fatness in the mar kets here today, caused by the advance in the bank rate to per cent. and the spread of the Chinese rebellion.

Russian bonds were down 11a
 American securities were quiet and fea- tureless, forecasts of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad dividend creating unfavor- able impression. It is asserted here the stock would not rise $2 flat declara- ton.

 New York, July 19.-Cotton in Liverpool closed at net decline of 3dD3 4-64d on old and POP 3-64d on new crop, attributed to bearish advices from America, causing realizing sales. The favorable weather over the belt and the belief that the crop has greatly improved this month checks speculative buying the statistical po- sition and with poor outlook fGr good trade causes bearing feeling here for the new crop months. The South being extremely bearish and having quite extended their interest in the market it is but natural that reports on the condition of the crop should be some what irregular and some what exaggerated on the bear side
