NEW ORLEANS. July 15.-There was some little trading in the spot cotton mar ket after hours on Saturday, when a de- cidedly firm feeling prevailed and the prices paid by buyers ranged somewhat above the quoted level But the sharp break in contract values this morning served to put damper upon the market and though prices have not fallen below the official mark buyers are much less anxious to operate and are to some ex- tent holding off to await further deveI- opments. Sales, 1.75O bales, including 1,200 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 Trading was fairly brisk in the market for contracts with the temper of opera tors. in the main. distinctly bearish. Liv- efupoi opened -1-6462-64d above Saturdays figures, but rush of selling orders from this side. probably induced by unofficial reports of heavy rains in Texas, soon turned the tide of sentiment and decline set In that left the English market at its close l-64@2-64d below Saturdays range of values.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
THERE WAS A VERY WEAK
 FEELING ABROAD.
There Was Some Strong Western and Southern Buying Turn
 ed the Scale.

NEW YORK, July 15-Early indications In cotton favored a lower market. The English cables were bullish at the start, but before our opening reflected very weak feeling abroad. Rain reports from Central Texas and foreign selling orders combined to undermine bull confidence here. While steady in tone, the market opened points lower and soon after the call was heavy with prices net 6qS points lower under selling for both accounts by the talent as well as by outsiders. To- ward the close of the first half-hour strong Western and Southern buying with active support by brokers believed to be operating for prominent Philadelphia ess- port interests turned the scale and sent prices upward with rush. The August option led the advance, climbing to 1.90 before there was sufficient cotton offered to- stay the buying movement. Early sellers turned in retreat and Wall Street appeared as liberal near month buyer. The official Government map did not fully confirm the rain news while the forecast from Washington indicated clear, warm conditions over the entire country west of the Mississippi tonight and to- morrow IA the late session fiurries of profit taking sales caused frequent reac- tions from top with the market showing less surface strength The close was steady with prices net 1a7 points lower.

Relic of Feudalism.

It is asserted that daily men carry about with them relic of feudalism This consists of the two buttons on the back of the coat. These buttons, it has long been known. are useless for any practical purpose. Certainly they are not decorative. Then why are they there? The philosophers who have been investigating this subject assert that these two buttons come down frwm the sword bearing age. They were placed at the back of the coat for the purpose of supporting a belt The belt, with its sword. has long since disappeared, but the buttons still remain.

The Responsibility of Wealth.

NeW YOFk Evening POSt.
 There can be no doubt that the res- possibility of great wealth ic more acutely felt in this country thar ever before. Larger gifts are male ir a larger way as fortunes increase m size and number. And we are glad TO :kiDS that 1t is not pressure from without so much as humane impulse from within which stimulates to generosity. Wealth sees poverty and need and stunted lives and unrelieved misery about it and yearns to be a rescuer, a creator of opportunity, and by voluntary cls- tribution to undo excess.

Consols were again pressed for sale on account of the weakness in Americans. touching 9l 1-l6, the lowest since 1S15 when per cents were quoted at 91h. The tap was turned or in the afternoon with the result that pressing influence was the action of the Brighton Railway in declaring a dividend of 214 as against 3A This is the first of the British railways to take such a stand and is regarded as criterion of what may follow with other companies
 The stock market was very sick Ameri- can shares were demoralized and spas modic. They opened fiat and grew worse until the New York opening, which was equally disheartening. Near the end there was rally of ? points in the case of Union Pacific Atchison and other leaders. There is some difficulty in car rying, the general rate being 515, the home issues paying 71s.
 The chief eature was United States Steel Corporation. in which many trad CTS were refused settlement facilities Others had to reduce their commitments by half. There is vague talk of trouble Steel, common, sold down to 36 and closed at 39A, the preferred touching SS14 and closing at 9O9i. The rally was due to a message said to be from Mir.

 It Is manifest to all thinking men that universities and colleges have become too liberal in their bestowals of honorary parchments conferring upon the recipients the title of doctor. The Victoria cross of Enstand and the iron cross of Prussia are valued above all other decorations be- cause conspicuous merit under arms, or on occasions of gravest danger, must he shown before either is awarded.
