New York, August 7.-Demand for dry
goods of an average extent Bleached
muslins and wide sheetings in moderate
demand, prices steady. Brown sheetings
and drills slow and irregular with ten
dency in favor of buyers. Denims, ticks
and other coarse colored cottons mac
tive, prices steady. Ginghams quiet,
limited business. Print cloths quiet at
steady prices. Silks irregular in both
staple lines and fancies.
COTTON.
New York, August 1.-THE market for
cotton futures started barely steady in
tone with prices one to three points high
er on near months and two to four points
lower on far months. Bear supremacy
soon asserted itself after the call and
under fairly active selling for both ac-
'coants ~rices crumbled quite sharply.
The late cables from abroad were I'M
friendly, nearly all information from the
cotton territory was optimistic concern
ing the crop development, while from
consuming centres the news was pessi-
mistic in the extreme BY midday the
uneasiness of shorts began to show
plainly while before one p. m. smaller
bears were in full retreat. The official
crop summary from Washington proved
to be quite a surprise, in that it showed
promising conditions in Georgia, Flori
da and Louisiana, more so than expect
ed, where shedding, rust and premature
opening were complained of. The crop
in Texas was reported two to three weeks
late with rank growth, shedding and in
sect damage reported in the southern
portion Of the State. Elsewhere the
crop was reported generally improved.
The effect of this news upon the market
was instantaneous though fully half an
hour passed before the buying movement
reached it's height. Prices advanced
rapidly and extensively with the winter
months showing the greatest de-
gree of strength AS against
T.99 in the morning, October
advanced to- SIT before a reaction set in
January advanced from 7.85 to sos. At
the best figures of the day the market
showed a net rise of eleven to fourteen
points. Europe bought on the call, sold
later in the morning then once more
became buyer late in the day. The
South and room trade sold during the
forenoon, but subsequently turned for
cover. Wire houses were active buyers
on the upturn. The market was finally
steady with prices nine to twelve points
higher.

COMMON COUNCIL MEETING.

The lower house was in session last
evening and i'm just one hour It cleaned
UP all the business transacted by select
council Monday evening Everything
was Concurrcd i'm except The ordinance
making an addition to the First sewer
district That was referred to the
proper committee. New resolutions
were adopted as follows: That the city
engineer put Battle avenue i'm pass
able condition. This answers the pur-
pose OF the resolution Mr.. Mannion
failed to get through the upper house
Monday evening. That engineer notify
water company to cut down water
pipes which project about foot above
the surface on Garden avenue. That
Ninth avenue be graded from Main TO
Park street. In explanation of this, its
author Mr.. j. j. Nealon, said $500 had
been appropriated for the work two or
three years ago and only STAG had been
expended He thought as many idle
miners are anxious to work out their
taxes they should be given the oppor-
tunity. Mr.. Smith, of the Fifth ward,
called attention to the fact that APP
propriations not used during the fiscal
year for which they are made revert
to the general fund and as there is at
present no appropriation for the work
he thought they had better go slow.
Mr.. Nealon thought it could be safely
left to the discretion of the city en-
gineer, and the resolution was finally
adopted.
