BULLS RUSHED
 BEARS TO COVER Decline in Stocks Stopped by
 Short Interests. THE MARKET WAS NARROW Closed Heavy and Lethergic With the Volume of Business Small-Money Hardened on Receipt of Gold
 from the Pacific Coast
THE MARKET WAS NARROW

New York, Aug. 2S.-The accumulation of a short interest during the steady decline which has continued for rather more than a week offered an opportunity today for turn by the bulls against the bear inter set. The demand from shorts proved suf- ficient to check the declining tendencies which was in evidence in the early dealing and to bring prices back to about last night level. There the recovery stopped and prices dropped again in the final deal- ings, making the closing heavy and lethar- gic. The market continued exceedingly mar row and the volume of dealings fell below yesterdays 100000 shart level. Bulls found material for their brief turn in the rail- road earnings reported for the day in re- yersal of the discouraging tenor of yester- days rumor regarding the sugar trade and in the declaration of semi-annual dividend of per cent on preferred stock of C. I. & l.. The bulls made the most of the incident and put the preferred stock up 41s points, and the common IA. There was continued pressure against sugar in the opening deal- ings but the stock rallied 1as on a correc- ton in the European sugar cables, showing a rise instead of a decline in the price of raw sugars. This was taken to show that American refineries were again in the mar ket as purchasers of raw sugars, and to indicate that the season for active business for refining would extend beyond the usual period this year.
 The money market continued to benefit by the redemption of the United States ex- tended 2s, and by active receipts of some gold from the Pacific coast. Rates were not quotably changed. Discount rates har- dened in London, while sterling exchange nevertheless continued easy, as was the case yesterday. This contradictory move ment caused some puzzled conjecture in ex- change circles. The volume of merchandise exports from New York for the week of $13 135, ,690, an increase of $6277,943 over last week, may offer the explanation.
 There was no feature in the bond market, and the price movement continued irregu- lar. Total sales, par value s695, 900.

but on referring to weather south, showery conditions prevailed in Arkansas, Louisi- ana and in Alabama, and with but trace of moisture in the Atlantic States, the market gathered itself together and made effort unassisted by outside support to do better, but met with but little success until the weekly government crop report was read out, it being of a bullish nature, complaining of damage from insects and by hot winds in north Texas, of shedding and boil worms in other States, and drought in the Carolinas and Georgia, prices leaped from S.15 for December to S.26. The trade as a rule expected a bad report and bought cotton in anticipation of the same, but an effort to resell the same cotton at the heel of the day caused just as sharp decline in prices as 1t caused an advance when it was being bought. In the central and south- ern sections of the belt picking, the bureau says, is in general progress. freer move ment, therefore. of new cotton may be look ed for in the near future. Spots are quiet and easy, unchanged here today; sales 150, and midding 9%. Elsewhere, however, there Is no change in quotations.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Quite generally sell Ing in the railway list was the feature of the early dealings in the stock market this morning. Saint Paul, Burlington and other western stocks were. conspicuous in the movement. Nothing new whatever in re- ports bearing upon agricultural condition attended the decline in these stocks. The London market was again stagnant by reason of the various complications tend ing to check active speculation at that point and moderate selling orders for for eign account, were conducted in this mar ket Recently weak features of the mar ket were today comparatively steady, Peo- ples Gas and Brooklyn showed more strength on what was considered good buy ing; also from shorts covering.

DEVELOPMENTS i
 DISAPPOINTING Net Results of Cotton Market
 Favored the Bulls. MARKET OPENED STEADY The Closing Showed an Advance of 20 Points on August and 2 to Points Higher on Other Months
 Weather Report Good
MARKET OPENED STEADY

New York, August 2S.-Despite the fact that the ultimate course of prices and net results favored the bulls, the developments of a day as a whole in the cotton market were disappointing. The chief cause for complaint was the Government report this statement was surprising and added greatly to the confusion of opinions extant here.
 The market opened steady as to tone, with prices points higher to l point lower, and during the morning kept within mar row bounds, pending receipts of the Gov ernment report. The noon bids were un- changed from the initial sales quotations and the total scope of fluctuations was but points. The cables were regarded as in thorough keeping with our advance of late yesterday, and the crop and weather re- ports from private sources were encourag- ing on the average. One o'clock found the shorts disposed to cover as a matter of pre- caution. When the bureau report was an- nounced it failed in many respects to agree with the information received by local cot ton houses of both beliefs Options made up from the daily government reports of the past week were shattered by the week ly statement Rumors that South and West and even several local houses were in pos session of the report before the exchange received it were not calculatd to help mat ters. After advancing 10 points on the statement, the market became inactive and irregular with longs inclined to unload The local talent were poorly supplied with busi- ness and the South sent in few orders
 The weather forecast was fairly good Southern spot markets were nerveess and telegraphic crop testimony was bearish in the long run, though reporting serious con- ditions in the Carolinas and parts of the central belt. The market closed steady with prices net 20 points higher on Au- gust and to points higher on other months.

The reform Mayor of San Francisco
has given the police department a shak-
ing up which It has needed for twenty
years and more. Successive chiefs have
enriched themselves in the Depart
ment, Crowley now being a heavy land
holder and a director in the Hibernia
bank and Lees a semi-millionaire. The
newspapers do not hesitate to say that
these fortunes represent, in part. the
loot OF Chinatown. With the change Of
charters, however, and the advent of
Phclan with enlarged powers, 1t has
become possible to turn the police de-
partment upside down and expose its
store Of abuses. Naturally the row is
tremendous, as 1t generally is when
bad police administration is shown I'D.
but in the end the greatest good to
the greatest number will have been
