The morning session of the Federation
was devoted to business, opening with
dsvotions and greetings to the guests.
This was followed by roll call, the secrs-
tary's report. and the ssmi-annual report
Of the treasurer, Miss Blanchard of PORT
land, who stated there was Sl39 "a in this
treasury, and all clubs had paid their
dues
Next business, admission of clubs, and
two new names were added to the Fedora
tion-the ShaSesperisn club Of Calais
and the Fort Allen Clan Of Portland.
A special report from the song book
committee by Miss Shaw Of Rockland,
was an excellent statement of the ques-
tion as to the need or call for such book.
Before adjournment some discussion
was held in regard to the New England
Federation OF Women's clubs and an
emphatic r3solution against IL was
brought in by Mrs. Osgood of Portland,
which was endorsed by the convention at
the afternoon meeting.

 New York. August 15-As was expected the heavy rainfall in the Atlantic states started an advance in Liverpool this morning. and resulted in a gain of to 6 points here. There was a very general feeling In the market yesterday that the price might recover few points. as the storm in the Atlantic states brought too much rain.
 This morning a report of storm at New Orleans brought more buyers into the market in fear that damage might be done. But while a disturbance of the atmosphere in the lower Mississippi valley would be beneficial, as rains could be reported over a large area now need ing moisture.
 The rainfall in Tennessee was heavy yesterday, the actual precipitation at over dozen places exceeding 11k inches.
 From now on Tennessee can be elim- mated from the drouth area.
 Rains in both Arkansas and eastern Texas were predicted, not showers mere ly, but rains.
 j Tn this event there would be but limited portion of central Texas needing rain The question before the market was whether too much rain had fallen in sec tions east of the Mississippi river. This agitation strengthened the market and prices had an advancing tendency most of the day.
 An estimate, said to come from the Galveston News, that the Texas crop would not be over 2.so0O00 bales. had an influence on the market, and brought in some shorts

BULLS NOT AGGRESSIVE
News of the Day Was Favorable In Every Respect, Including Contn-
 ued Easy Money Conditions.
 Closed Strong and Active.

New York, August 15. - Buyers today largely outnumbered sellers despite the 2 generally professional character of the dealings and the weeks rise. The net re- suits of the days dealings showed so many important gains that the conclu- sion Is drawn that the improvement is due in no small part to covering by the short interest, who have met but little stock on spasmodic raids earlier. The bull faction did not become very ag- gressive until near the close, when there was a general buying up all around and the top prices of the day were made. The news of the day was favorable in every respect, including continued easy money conditions, lower sterling rates and small CT earnings for the second week in Au- gust. The foreign trade statement for the month of July and the seven months of the present year, showing an excess of exports over imports of $36,134,0n and S324. .546, 695 for the respective periods, drew renewed attention to the commanding po- sition which the United States occupies in the worlds trade.
 The opening of the stock market gave
  but animation soon died out and the mar ket relapsed into dullness, which was not relieved until the vigorous rise at the close.
 Interest was less concentrated in the grain-carrying roads, the coalers, South ern, Eastern and high priced specialties all receiving considerable attention dur ing the day. Shorts covered, neverthe- less, about the time of activity, but still 1t did not exceed 2-point range. The pre- ferred stock jumped nearly points, and Rock Island gained points on a few transactions. Stocks of the anthracite coal roads responded notably to the inn proving trade conditions, especially Erie, Ontario and Western and Pennsylvania:
 There was a more general demand for the low-priced railroad stocks, and Chesa- peake and Ohio, Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville, Norfolk and Western, Iowa Central and Southern Railway rose from to points. The heavy absorption of the latter was attributed to buying by con trolling interests. There was little of in- terest in the movement of United States Steel stocks today, and after opening AQ 1k higher they eased off, but rallied again at the close and ended R each higher for the common and preferred.

Purchases for for eign account were again on large scale, and this, in connection with larger onei- ings of grain bills in the sterling ex- change market, caused a decline in sterl- ing to 4.S714. Sugar was reactioHary most of the day and at one time declined a point. but in the final dealings 1t was rapidly advanced and ended with net rise of 2A.

 New York, August 15--Liverpool cables were better than expected this morning, showing an advance of 21a@31b points on futures on sales of 10000 bales, improve ment being due to reports of further damage to cotton In the drouth section of Texas and buying by New Orleans op- orators. New York opened firm at 4 to points advance In response, though soon after the call went off slightly from open ing level under liquidation sales and some pelting from the professional element. The weather map showed further rains east of the Mississippi, though there was little rain in the southwest, the Calves ton district and Oklahoma reporting prac- tically nothing while the forecast for that section held out little hope to those who have been looking for rain in that section for upward of eight to ten weeks. Advices from Waco today stated that conditions In that section were the worst In years, and the crop would be very short. At the same time the Galveston News published its review this morning. which estimated the yield for Texas at z,350,000; for Indian Territory at S5.OOo. and that for Oklahoma at 161 ,OO0 thereby making probable yield for all three B. 3260O0 bales. These figures represent de- crease of "A per cent for Texas, an in- crease of 32 per cent for Indian Terri tory, and decrease of 8 per cent for Oklahoma; all comparisons being based on last year But despite this, there was little disposition to buy, and prices failed to make any advance of note, closing at practically opening level at an advance of to points net

MARKET
 NEARLY STEADY
  Prices Opened Easy Five to Seven Points Higher
  LIVERPOOL WAS STRONG Trading Was Sluggish Most of the Sea son, Although There Were FlurrIes of Brisk Trading In the
 Last Hours.

New York, August 15-The cotton mar ket opened with prices to points high CT and while disposed to react from time to time, ruled generally steady with sem timent in the pit decidedly bullish as to nearby fluctuations. Trading was slug. gish most of the session although there were fiurries of brisk trading with in- yestment buying something of a feature Short furnished the bulk of the markets support and were greatly disturbed bf nrm cables and unfavorable crop ac- counts from the southwest. Liverpool came fully points better on futures and l 1-16d better on spots than expected, pub lie reports indicated no rain of conse- quence in the central portion of Texas. Crop news from that section was very bad and advices from portions of the cen tral and eastern belt also indicated a very spotty crop. The Galveston News estimates of 2.sOo,00O bales for the grow ing crop in Texas helped hold the mar ket. Southern spot makets were coffee ed as firm to steady with prices general ly changed though there were buyers rather than sellers at former quotations New Orleans bought fall and winter months here in the afternoon and Wall street contributed some support in the way of new business. Continuing cover ing near the close held prices at the best level of the, day.
 The market was full and quiet at a net advance of to points.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, August 15-The stock mar ket opened strong. with the trading show ing the same general characteristics that marked yesterdays dealings. London fur nished higher range of prices for Ameri- can stocks, particularly for St. Paul, and foreign houses were fairly liberal buyers here upon the opening of business. Little change appeared in the steel strike con- ditions over night. Some encouragement was derived from the fact that credited trade journals advanced their estimates of the corn harvest to 400, ,000, 900 bushels. At the opening of business the conspicu- ous features of the market were St. Paul, the Atchison shares Union Pacific, Penn sylvania, Erie and Southern Railway, the last named being particularly strong and active. The local traction group was firm, with a spirited advance in Manhattan. Among the specialties Consolidated Car scored a further sharp advance and Vest ern Union was decidedly strong. United States Steel issues were active and moved within extremely narrow limits. Other wise the dealings in the industrial quarter were limited

New orIear. Cotton Market.

New Orleans, August 15.--There is very little interest to note in connection with the spot cotton market. There has been no change in any departments and buyers and sellers are still in the same relative positions What demand there is Is run ming mainly upon the high grades. and though there Is very little staple in the better qualities in evidence, an occas- ional lot is unearthed. and in changing hands generally brings a price shading somewhat higher than quotations. Sales 600. including 200 to arrive Quotations un- changed.
 A very moderate amount of trading was done during the day in the market for contracts, and the months of October and December received almost the entire attention of operators. The lack of activ- ity in the market was mainly attributable to the failure of telegraphic facilities early in the day, as a result of which the local field was deprived of the usual run of advices from other points.
 Liverpool managed to get through with her opening figures, which were 1-16 high CT for spots and S-64 higher for deliveries and the local market opened up to pointe, but almost immediately com menced working downward, but as the day wore on 1t became apparent that op- orators were apprehensive of storm damage to the crop in the middle and west gulf states.
