MARKET FOR FUTURES GOOD ADVANCES AFTER THE
 OPENING CALL. Speculation Dragged Early in the Afternoon and in the Last Hour Prices Broke Heavily Under
 Active Liquidation.

New York, Sept. 6.-The market for cotton futures opened steady with prices unchanged to six points higher and after a moments hesitation turned firm on brisk covering and moderate outside buy ing. all founded on bullish cables from Liverpool and Manchester and on ru- mors that Southern spot markets were hardening. October shorts became fright ened and that option was bid rapidly up to 79O by shorts, or to the same level as January. But with the more pressing de- mand appeased the market became quiet CT and slowly eased off to nearly last nights final bids on late months. Flu rope was a light buyer here in the first hour, as was New Orleans and Chicago. Speculation dragged early in the after noon The lest hour the market broke heavily under active local liquidation and bear selling and urgent pressure from New Orleans.

Dun's Review of Trade.

New York, Sept. 6.-R G. Dun & Co.'S. review of trade tomorrow will say:
 "A holiday reduced the volume of 1e- gitimate business, while speculative ope- rations were seriously curtailed by the general closing of exchanges from Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning. In the movement of merchandise and in many manufacturing lines there has been effort to make up the loss by working overtime, but the weeks record will fall behind those immediately preceding. Actual sales of many iron and steel products are recorded at material advances and the tone throughout Is hardening by vigorous demand. Placing of sample orders for spring footwear is of such character as to indicate a heslthy market and some jobbers are so anxious for early delivery that contracts are being closed now. De- spite more activity in the market for cotton goods and placing of government contracts. the staple shows no great strength.
 Although unsettled in tone, little altera- ton occurred in the principal cereals. Trading was restricted and there was an apparent disinclination to assume an ag gressive stand on either side of the mar ket. Commercial failures in August were SO3, and s. 45S.S66 in amount of liabilities against 735, and $7,323, ,903 in amount of i. liabilities in August 1900

Rradstreat,s Review.

New York. Sept. s.-Bradstrects tomor- row will say: Trade advices are, as a rule. very good, Business continues d9 features are the reports of large sea sonable distribution, heavy shipments and improved collections from leading Western centres. An measures or trade demand point to the maintenance or gen. eral business on a scale not heretofore equalled for this time of year, whlle failures. though more numerous than last year, are less hurtful than one or two months ago. Industrial disturbances are not cutting the figure they did earlier Prices for the fourth successive month have advanced, and are now well up to the highest of the year. Steel product demand steadily grows and premiums Tor quick delivery oi affected prodmc11s p1 mennt t1sr ing has been merely postponed and great activity awaits the re-opening mills. Pig iron is in better demand at nearly all markets and foundry and forge iron are in larger demand. even at Pittsburg Jobbere stocks on finished goods are bad ly broken. The cotton trade is in an in the season just closed was l03S3: 100 bales valued at nearly $500, 900, 900. The latest government reports shows that on It. o00.000 out of 2, 5S2, 900 acres planted, the condition is better than a year ago and the outlook is therefore for a somewhat 5arger yield than last year.
 Corn is slightly stronger. on improving speculative interest while oats are steady. Hog products are higher. The statistical position of lard is. very strong. Raw su- gar is further demoralized at 1-16c. lower on the week. centrifugal being at the lowest point in four years Upper leath- CT dealers are yielding to the Inevitable and some asking prices are fully one cent better than month ago. Hides ad- vancing. Higher prices for shoes is heard. Wheat including flour, exports for the week aggr regate 4,4060s4 bushels as against 6,607,6l1 bushels last week. Wheat exports July to date (ten weeks) aggregate 6l, 996 bushels as against 296i1,5f7 bushels last season.

R. M. Scale & Co.'s Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 6.-The market was greeted with a surprise this morning in the shape of cables announcing Mir. Ellison's as sertion that | 900. 900 bales would be re- quired for consumption this season and the record of prices abroad indicated that some faith was placed in these figures. Liverpool reported an advance of about ASA in deliv- cries and spots were quoted up l-le. while Manchester reported a firm tone for both cloths and yarns Under the influence of foreign cables. combined with the extension of frmness in spots. prices here improved further in the early part of the session, but toward the close some longs 1iquidated in fear of The Chronicle showing improvement of the crop in some section of the belt, in the case last week when 1t denoted change for the better in the Memphis district. slight set back in values resulted Closing quotations 2G6 points lower than yesterday.
 The visible supply lost LOGO bales as com pared with S2, 900 bales the same week last year, which. while far from being bearish. did not appear to be exactly up to the expecta- tions of bulls. and there was accordingly less disposition to support the market
 Speculators are evidently determined to wait and observe the attitude of the country in dis posing of its cotton before entering into ex- tensIve engagements, though the feeling ap- pears to remain quite in favor of better prices

CHINESE SAYS ROBBERS
TOOK HIS MONEY

Wailuku, Sept. IA Waikiki Chi
naman claims, and he is still claiming.
that he was held up two nights ago
BY four negroes and robbed Of $50. He
says he was on his way homo to Wal
luku from Waikapu. Three Of the
men held him while the fourth made
away with the treasure towards the
sandhills. The Ch.naman cannot dis
tinctly state whether his assailants
we're negroes or Porto Ricans as some
of the latter are very dark. especially
on q dark night. At any rate he is
sure the highwaymen carried away $50
and not so cents as some believe. A
lone highwayman can overpower this
pake. but he asserts Wifi great empha-
sis that three men with dark visages
held him. Most Of the Chinese In town.
however. believe the story Of their
countryman.
