COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Aug. 14.-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton in Liverpool was very feverish to-
day. The market opened 2-64 to 3-64d high
Ell, reacted and closed 1854 to 2-64 below last
nights prices. despite reports of bullish
circular issued by Neil "details not given
YETI. This market ruled active and fever
ism; opened higher. reacted sharply on
selling for Southern account and reports
of rain in some parts of the Carolinas
and Georgia. Liverpool also sold. New
buying has been attracted by expecta ton
of unfavorable reports by the weekly
weather bulletin. Cotton declined 10 points
this afternoon on heavy liquidating sales
owing to the weekly weather report by
the bureau being much better than ex-
pected. There is also some doubt about the
bullsh tendency of Neills circular The
above features led to general selling at
first by locals and later on by New Or
leans and the Continent Receipts of new
cotton are only a moderate scale yet
but as dry weather is now predicted for
Texas. we may look for some increase
in movement soon.
New York, Aug. 14-Hubbard Bros &
Co. say: Liverpool opened higher than
anticipated, but Immediately declined, es-
pecially on the near positions owing to
offers from Texas for September delivery
Liverpool sent selling orders all day which
supplied the opening demand, after the
first hour relapsed into dullness await
ing the weekly bureau report. The report
was a deterioration in the Atlantic and i'm
proving in the Mississippi and Alabama.
Complaints of rust in Arkansas and need
of dry weather in Texas. As the dry
weather has set in in Texas the bureau
report brought selling and as the shorts
had covered last week the decline was
rapid. Anxiety for the crop has been
transferred from rainy weather in Texas
TO dry conditions in Atlantic. Light
showers on Sunday and yesterday did not
give sufficient relief to that section.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Reelected Strength in All
Securities.

New York. Aug 14-To-day's stock
market gave marked exhibition of
strength, rejecting as it did an upward
movement in all classes of securities. No
doubt the chief impetus to the rise was
manipuative orders particularly as in the
steel group. Reports of possible AMIGA
bic adjustment of the wage schedule was
responsible for rise of 8 points in Amer
lean Tin Plate and 1G1h in kindred pro-
perties. The buoyancy of this group ra-
dated throughout the entire market and
influenced pool operations in other stocks.
As yesterday, the leading railroad shares
occupied a commanding position in the
market. exceptionally large blocks of the
Atchisons, Changers and Pacifics being
taken at Improvements ranging from
large fraction to lss in st. Paul Practi-
cally the only laggards to the upward
trend of railroad stocks were Baltimore
and Ohio and Southern Pacific. The FIRST

eatnings, which fell off S239, 1876 net. An
effort was made to raid Southern Pacific
on the announcement of the death OF its
president, C. z. Huntington, but the
opening offer of block of $500 shares 1t

Yesterdays close. was readily absorbed
Indications that the stock was to be sup
ported influenced the bears to transfer
the attack to Suger. This stock display
ed good deal of irregularity and closed

As the effective buying of the railroad
stocks became more marked many of the
usually inactive stocks participated in inc
dealings and improved materially. Des-
pite the exceptionally heavy gold en-
gagements for export tomorrow, aggre-

Georgia Railroads Taxes.

Controller General Wright has received
a letter from General Manager Scott of
the Georgia Railroad saying that the mat
ter of paying tax on SSS,000 worth of
Atlanta and West Point debentures would
be taken up by the officials of the Geer-
gia road at once. Richmond county claims
that the road should pay tax on the de-
bentures. as it has been doing so up until
last year, when the railroad officials stat
ed that when the Georgia was leased the
debentures were transferred 90 the Louis
vile and Nashville. The lease was made
several years ago and the authorities of
Richmond county and the city of Angus
ia think IT strange that the road should
disclaim ownership at this late day.

DUG COAL FOR HIS BRIDE.
SuItor Won Her Hand and Coal
Mine. Too.


From the Philadelphia Record.
st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. BY indomitabe
pluck, backed by well-sea soned muscle,
Willis V. Hill won beautiful bride and
q valuable coal mine in Southern Illinois.
Mr.. Hill and his bride, very proud of
her athletic husband, have just passed
through this city on their honeymoon trip.
The bride told this story of how her hus-
band won her and the coal nine

University. His parents have mining in
terests near Scranton, Pa, and there as
a boy he used to dig coal to learn the
business. That's where he got his
strength to become such a good athlete

St Clair county. where my papa, who
is Robert Smith, and l lived.
Il met him at social entertainment.
We liked each other from the first. One
day he said: Many, will you marry me-?
Il told MIN / would, but when l told
papa he said: What? A daughter of
mine marry that dude from the East?
Why, the chap never can work for
living. Why don't you marry big Jim
Andrews, who's been laundering after you
these last three years? Now, there's a
man for you. If this Eastern dude could
dig coal that big Jim can I might-but
what's the use of talking? You can't
have this dude
Il told Willis what Papa said. He
laughed and went to father.
So, MIR. Smith, you think I am a
dude and afraid of hard work? Now,
what do you think of match coal-dig-

COTTON FUTURES.
The Close Steady at Net Loss of 10
to FL Points.

New York. Aug. 4.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with near months to
points lower and far months to points
higher and ruled very irregular during the
forenoon with the general tendency to-
ward weakness under hurries of liquida-
ton for professional and spectators ac-
count. Weak English cables and reports
that rains had fallen in the Atlantis
states were the motive for the selling.
There were few buying orders in evidence,
while the trade in general seemed 10 be
as heavily loaded with new crop cotton
as it was short of those options two
weeks ago. The weakness in Liverpool
was credited by private cables to a scare
of holders started by reports that Man
chester spinners were soon to adopt
short time schedule and predictions from
this side to the effect that the crop was
doing better than admitted. Promptly at
l o'clock the weekly government report
came to hand and Immediately created
dismay in the ranks of the bulls, who
sold heavily in an effort to disgorge large
holdings. While the statement was I'M
questionably bullish one It failed to note
the unfavorable conditions expected on
lively, as did the wire houses. During the
rest of the afternoon the market was
extremely nervous and displayed feeble
recuperative energy. The close was steady
