COTTON MARKET l1 WAS QUITE WEAK Rallied at a Few Brief Intervals
 During the Day. SHORTS MORE CONFIDENT Selling Would Have Been More Active But for the Fear of Manipulation
 in August Cotton-The
 Close Was Steady
SHORTS MORE CONFIDENT

New York July 31.-The cotton market opened at decline of Sq5 points and con- tinued generally weak throughout the ses- sion, except during brief intervals of rally caused by covering short contracts. Fol lowing the opening call there was a gradual decline until prices reached a level 5417 points under the closing figures of the pre- vious day. All classes of traders appeared to be selling. The shorts displayed more confidence than had been seen here for some time past. July contracts went out at about 9.55, having since the first dispatch of the season shown an extreme range of 6.02 and 1021.
 Selling would have been more active but for the fear of manipulation in August cot ton. One party with extensive foreign con- nections holds practically all the spot cot ton here. At the weakest period of todays session for futures there was some buying by conservative parties for reaction upon the theory that the market had been over sold and had in that way become easily subject to any new bulish influence that might arise.
 Factors in todays decline were the 1 to 8 points decline in Liverpool, the favorable " generally bearish character of crop ac- counts, unsatisfactory reports from cotton goods centers, continued indifference on the part of the speculative public; weak South ern spot market advices, full receipts, as far as they cut any figure, and a lack ofs public support.
 The market was finally quiet and steady at a net decline of 3@11 points

ems. Miss Augusta Archibald, Miss Clare

Miss Fletcher.
One Of the finest vocal efforts of the
evening in programme filled with ar
tistic gems was the celebrated Titania
recitation and aria from "Mignon"
given by Mrs. Henry Brady. IT,, whose
beautiful clear soprano was never
heard to better advantage than in this
most difficult and elaborate example of
colorature singing, Notwithstanding
the fact that she was almost i'll with a
cold. AS an encore she sang Ma
vourneen" with exquisite pathos and
feeling.
The evening closed with 1.-THE
Mikado," which for beauty of
costume and grace of action has
seldom been surpassed on a Scran-
ton stage. Many of the Kimo-
mas worn were costly ones picked up
in the Orient and loaned for the occas-
ion.
Miss Spencer, Miss Gallen and Miss
Duncan were charming as the "Three
Little Maids" Miss Spencer as Yum
Yum was very clever. Mr.. limerick
was a splendid Pooh Bah. r. d. Will
Jams filled the role of ko-Ko to per-
fection and Mr.. Bunnell as Nanki-Poo
was especially good. The madrigal,
Brightly Dawns Our Wedding Day"
was a fitting finale to an evening of
rare enjoyment.
The ladies' chorus was perhaps the
best of all in this opera. The pretty
ingly we'll done. The encores were
many and the applause was continuous
and effective. The leading ladies re-
| ceived quantities of flowers from the
directors Of the Hahnemann hospital.
The calcium lights under the direc-
tion of MIR. Hutton were notably well
managed. The souvenir programme
contributed by the International Corre-
spondence schools was beautiful and
artistic.
Altogether it is great pity that the
performance cannot be repeated this
evening as more than one house could
be filled to witness the performance.
Boxes were occupied by Mrs. Thomas
Dickson and party. Colonel Boies.
