COTTON LETTERS $.

New York Aug 20.-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton in Liverpool closed only shade
higher than Saturday, but this market
held steady at an advance of about 8
points, owing to covering of bear sales
and new buying stimulated by unfavor-
able accounts and buying for New Or
leans account. Rain reported in some sec
tons of the Carolinas, but general rains
are needed, excep in Texas. 1t Is a
weather market, and to-morrow's weekly
bureau report is likely to be poor, Is prl-
vate advices predict poor prospects, ana
even the bears admit the crop has been
deterorat ted in the past week.
New York Aug. 20.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say: Liverpool was disappointing
this morning, as an advance of to 3
points was expected in response to an i'm
provement of Saturday. Our market, how
ever, had expected the government pre-
diction of Saturday would bring good rains
over the Carolnas and Georgia. Ony
light local showers have fallen, however,
and the crop is believed to be suffering
from the hot dry weather of the past
three weeks. Opening steady at Satur-
days prices the market remained dull for
the first half hour 10 jump quickly. The
temper of the trade is distinctly bulish
on the expectations of a POOR weekly
report tomorrow, and the light movement
outside buying has not appeared either
from spectators or spinners. but the local
trade expec. they will come in during Ghe
week.

the whole story will doubtless be known

STOCKS AND BONDS.
No Change in Character of the Mark
ct During the Day.

New York, Aug. 2O.-There was no rad
ical change to-day in the character of
recent stock market operations. General
news bearing on the situation was scant,
but what there was, was further ammu-
milton for the bears. London, which has
latterly been a buyer. turned seller for
small amount, and Western offerings
were effective in special stocks.
General weakness occurred in stocks
with which the firm of Flower G. Co. is
identified following the announcement of
the death of q member of the firm. These
include half-dozen of the most active
issues and losses ranged 1Q2 points, with
Brooklyn Transit and Peoples Gas lead
ing. Elsewhere selling was in moderate
volume, but some rather pronounced de-
clines occurred in Sugar, Tobacco Con-
solidated Gas and Metropolitan Street
Railway.
Railroad stocks were much better sus-
tanned than the specialties declines ex-
tending TO a point only in St. Paul and
Rock Island. While the general tone
throughout the greater part of the day
was reactionary, there were periods of
the steadiness when the shorts reduced
their lines. Some comment was aroused
by the sudden marking up of General
Electric to 1903. Its closing price on
Saturday was 1856. Reports of a combi-
nation with a rival concern and excellent
earnings were circulated of which there
was no confirmat ton. Fluctuations in the
Steel group were comparatively narrow
but early losses were generally recov-
cred in the late afternoon on reports of
imported trade conditions
A matter of interest in connection with
the international monetary situation was
the decline in call money in London to ~
per cent. This circumstance was at
tributed 10 imports of gold by the Bank
of England, amounting to 81, $4,000 This
amount included the So 10000 gold export
