opening from this source occasioned a sharp decline but the market displayed a steady undertone absorbing these of ferings readily, and slight rally in prices followed. While conditions In for eisn markets, as reported, are not con- ducive to an extended improvement in prices, yet the statistical position of cot ton Is beyond dispute rather healthy and the crop outlook thus far is anything but fiattering. The movement of cotton con tinues light and indicates disposition on the part of country holders to ex- ercise more moderation in selling. It may be well, therefore, not to be greatly per suaded by the pessimitic views issuing from foreign markets especially consid- ering the fact that large crop calcula- tions are taken into account. Under eX- isting circumstances, any improvement in trade conditions either at home or abroad would exert very stimulating effect on prices.

TRADE OULLER THAN USUAL

New York. September H.-The cotton market opened easy and g to Il points lower in sympathy with weakness abroad and following a less unfavorable review of the week south by the Chron- icle than looked for. October sold OH to ITO and January to TIA. From these figures there was sharp rally immeo- lately after the call on covering and buy ing reaction theory.
 Liverpools decline of 2@3 points was said to have been the ontgroWtn or hedges near the close against purchases of cotton in the south. During the early morning no efforts were made to depress the local market, which was disposed to do better on the least encouragement from the bull side. Trade was compara- lively tame and was chiefly Of a prores- sional character. By 1O;sO o'clock Janu- ary had stiffened to 7.79, or within SIX points of last nights final bid Though somewhat tirnid for the moment the con seryatiye traders were bulllshly inclined on the crop news In hand on the weather reports and on the poor showing or re- ceipts, as compared with last year. The south and Wall street bought sparingly on the rally The market for futures closed steady, net to points lower.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York. Sept. M.-Interest in the stock market in the early dealings was mostly centered around Amalgamated Copper. The directors of the company de- clared the usual dividend last evening The dealings in copper were of tremen- dous volume and the stock showed an ex- treme decline at the opening of over 6 points From this figure there was a fairly sharp recovery but the movements in the stock continued exceedingly un- settled and feverish. The rest of the market opened lower but for the most part within fractional limits. The active features of the railway list were South ern, Erie. Pennsylvania, Union Pacific and the Atchison shares.
 London sent in lower range of prices for our stocks and was a fair liberal seller upon the opening of business There was no particular news over night bearing upon the market or particular stocks apart from the copper dividend Expectations were again general that the bank statement would make a good showing After the initial dealings the general market developed a slightly flrmer tone and trading showed a dispo- sition to cut away from the wild fiuctua- tions in copper.

 New Orleans, September H.-The bullish developments of yesterday failed to ex- ercise a substantial influence abroad. Liverpool was quite disappointing. re- porting a decline in deliveries of about 2-s4d, which cables attributed to selling by importers as hedge against pur- chases of cotton for subsequent ship ment This incident would in a measure tend to confirm bad foreign trade reports, yet the large crop ideas entertained abroad may have cut a large figure In the matter.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September H.-The mar ket for spot cotton was quiet during the short hours today, the total sales record ed including about 200 bales, sold after hours yesterday being but $50 bales of spots and 750 bales to arrive Buyers were not very active. The break in con- tracts and the apparent apathy at Liver pool had the effect of causing them to hold off for concessions and bids were as & rule well below the board level. Quo- tations unchanged. There was a fair amount of trading in January contracts and some little business doing in October and December futures today and apart from those positions there appeared to be little interest for operators in the market for future deliveries during the short session. The course of values was : in the net result, favorable to the<short element. The market showed first call losses of nine to thirteen points working gradually back with occasional down ward fluctuations to a range but eight to ten points below yesterdays mark at the close.

Unexpected Conclusion Another Sensa.

Unexpected Conclusion Another Sensa-
ton In Famous Fosburg Case.
Pittsfeld, Mass. July 24.-The gov
ernment rested yesterday afternoon in
the trial of Robert S. Fosburg for the
alleged killing of his sister May. The
conclusion was as sudden as it was
unexpected, it being known that there
were witnesses held in reserve, a
number having been summoned by the
prosecution only the day before. The
defendants junior counsel set forth
the facts upon which the defense is
based. There was a sensation at the
opening of the court in the morning,
when Judge Stevens ordered the ex-
pulsion and exclusion of several repre-
sentatives of three New York newspa-
pers because of an article which had
been published relative to an alleged
episode at the grave of the victim of
the tragedy. This episode, it was
said, occurred on Sunday last, and
the publication the court described as
the grossest attack on the admins
tration Of Justice"
At the conclusion of the govern
ment's case in the afternoon the coun
sci for the defense suggested to the
court that the case be dismissed fol
lack of proper evidence. Judge Stew
ems, however, stated that he was no
ready to entertain such a motion.

the most important of which so far, at
least as reports to the weather bureau
show, was that at North Platte, Neb.,
where S-100 of an inch of rain fell, the
drouth and intense heat continued
yesterday throughout the states of the
corn belt. Temperatures again aver
aged over 100 degrees in that area
making the thirty-sixth consecutive
day in which the thermometer has
risen to 80 degrees and higher. Ac
cording 20 present indications there
seems to be no prospect of a generous
rain for the next two days at least
Beyond that time the officials will mo-
make any predictions. General!
! speaking, the temperatures in the su
perheated area were not quite so higl
as on Monday
