(By Associated Press.)

Chicago Aug. 20.-The first union Of
Chicago retail clerks, to be composed ex-
clusively of women, was organized last
night.
The success of last nights movement
was due largely to the presence of Mrs.
Emma Lanphere, national organizer for
the retail clerks national protective as

Her promise of shorter hours, a day Of

in other ways when the clerks were
thoroughly organised appealed to those

similar unions, to be composed exclusive
ly of women in every section of the city.

New York, Sept. 30.-The Journal of
Commerce, New York, says of cotton:
The October cotton report of the Jour-
nal of Commerce from more than elev-
en- hundred correspondents, indicates a
decline in the average condition during
September of To points. The average
figures out $50 per cent. The most
severe decline is in Mississippi, where,
the sensational reduction of Il points
is indicated, as a result of combina-
ton of unfavorable influences, but par
ticularly the heavy equinoxial rains.
Other spectacular declines are Is points
in the Indian Territory, IA points in
Oklahoma, and IL points in Florida.
South Carolina shows a reduction of 8
points, Georgia and Arkansas, both s
points, Alabama 6 points, North Caro-
lima 8, while Texas and Louisiana are

New York, Sept. 30.-The London
market for Americans was shown at
material declines to-day, and the
prices of all the copper SECURITIES were
lower and weak The tendency Of Lon
don at large was owing to the devel-
opments of higher rates for money, but
otherwise apprehensions regarding the
state of the copper tradefseemed to be
largely responsible for the tendencies
of the market The money market took
its cue from London this morning, and
opened active, and weak. There were
notably sharp declines In Amalgamated
Copper. Anaconda mining. and In the
Railway list in st. Paul. Missouri Pa
cific and the Nickel Plate shares. The
decline in the last named stock seemed
to be owing to the absence of news re-
garding the Vanderbilt issues. ana also
to the doubts thrown upon the proba-
bilities of such arrangements as re-
ported being effected. The Anthracites
were active, but underwent irregular
movements, the Reading issues being
firm, while the Fries were heavy. Lit
tie was done among the local traction
stocks, but both Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit and Manhattan were heavy In SYM

COTTON.

The spot cotton market closed quiet,
with sales from factors tables of 2O3.
Receipts were 6,7O4, against 1894 last
year. and 1850 year before last. only
a moderate demand was reported. Cot
tor for through shipment was also in
moderate request, though in some
quarters a fair demand prevailed. The
country was not disposed to offer free
ly owing to the bullish crop reports,
which indicated damage by rain in sew
eral sections. An Albany firm wired it's
Savannah representative that rains had
damaged the crop. and that 10 per
cent. less than last year is looked for.
Fully good middling was reported
around to 1-16c, and basis good mid
ding rs to 15-16c. Cotton futures at
New York closed barely steady with
prices to points lower.

opened steady, with prices point
higher to Q points lower, these figures
later proving to be the top for the
day. The influences at work were
nearly all bullish but in the absence
of active speculation and public BUSH
ness prices gradually worked lower
under realizing by room bulls and pit
selling by the scalping <contingent for
a slight decline. In the early afternoon
January sank to 1910, this being 2
points off from the top and points
off from Saturdays final bid. Even at
the lower figure demand was hesitat-
ing and business was sluggish. Liver
pool was weak under poor speculation
and more poor trade reports from the
continent The weather averaged up
favorably though the forecast indicat-
ed showers for tonight over the east
ern and central belt and drought in
the West. Among the bull arguments
were small stocks at all spinning cen
tiers, and very bad crop reports. EX-
port clearances to-day reached close to
1000 bales, or one-third more than
the total port receipts. In the last
hour selling by disheartened room
holders sent prices to the low level
of the day. The market was finally
barely steady, with prices sos points
lower.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 30.-Prices were I'M
changed at the opening of the cotton
market to-day. Outside business was
moderate. Cables were of no special
significance. Weather conditions in the
South were perfect and receipts were
picking up materially at the ports.
Whether this will prove exceptional or
be continued is question. The anxiety
to see the bureau report on Wednesday
is general. Conservative firms look for
the same general condition as revealed
by the October report of last year.
Scarcity of good grades continues
Eastern spinners are hurrying small
supplies, and are securing the South
for desirable grades which are firmly
held. January delivery attracted most
attention here, and the general list
ruled DC lower after the first sales. In
the Liverpool market prices declined Q
points. Receipts at ports $4,000 against
$4,000 last year. Stocks at Liverpool are
dangerously low and elsewhere in Eu-
rope they are not large. The inquiry
for India is poorer and there has been
vigorously pushed in many Southern
sections. Many Texas points report so
to so per cent. already gathered.

Hubbard Bros. 4 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 30.--Europe contin-
ues to show great apathy at the strong
statistical position of cotton, which in
comparison with other years is start
ling. From a manufacturers stand
point the position of cotton is offset
by the depressed condition of the yarn
market in Europe and also at home.
That consumption has been overesti-
mated is now admitted by every one
for, If 1t had not been, the mills must
have stopped from the lack of cotton
to spin. 1t is reported the exports con-
sist largely of consigned cotton to fill
previous freight engagements. On the
other hand the movement continues to
be light, crop accounts are of deterior-
alton, and the Southern interior mar
kets show little disposition on the part
of planters to hold. A poor bureau
report is expected on Thursday, which
the trade hope will shake the spinners'
convictions as to supplies and bring
them into the market for their forward
supplies. Spinners last season acted
on the poor crop reports and lost
money on account of the cotton held
back. This season they do not credit
the reports.

New York, Sept. S0.-The small vol
ume of the trading to-day and the ten
dency of prices to retract the earlier
downward movement revealed the pre-
dominance of professional operations in
the market. The dealings were less
than 100000 shares and the late hard
ening movement retrieved approx
mately one-half of the early decline.
There was no very urgent selling
manifest at any period of the day. al
though the bears succeeded in uncover
ing stop loss orders IN Sugar and to a
smaller extent in Brooklyn Transit and
Missouri Pacific. The first named stock
fell an extreme 3% and the other two
Q points. Declines reached points or
over in a number of other leading
stocks. notably among the Pacifics,
Southwesterns and Vanderbilts. De-
clines of 2 to Az among the Junior
members of the last named group gave
emphasis to the feeling of skepticism
that has grown up regarding the much
exploited rumors of plan for merg-
ing all the members of the group.
Amalgamated Copper continued under
some pressure, but the declines were
resisted. The firm tone of the spot
copper market in London helped that
stock, and 1t closed with net loss Of

While there was a scattering demand
for cotton in the local markets to-day,
the situation on the whole was rather
sluggish, and the day closed without
any very large transactions being re-
ported All influences combine to
cause hesitation among the trade gen.
orally at the moment, and until some
important influence develops to divert
sentiment one way or the other, the
dealings are likely to continue re-
stricted.
Conditions in Texas are very bullish,
Judging from the crop accounts, which
conservative estimates make from a
million to a million a half bales below
that of last year. Then in the East
ern South accounts are little better, i'm
dicating damage from recent wet
weather and deterioration from other
causes One large firm at Albany wired
it's local representative to-day that the
crop in that section is expected to fall
short of last year at least 10 per cent.
In various sections of South Georgia
accounts are bullish, and the same is
true of South Carolina. With such
news flying about, 1t is natural that
the country hesitates about accepting
present prices pending more positive
developments. Cotton futures at New
York tended to improve during the
early hours, but reacted under the
pressure of liquidation later, and closed
at a decline of SOC points.
The turpentine market closed firm
at SAC, with the demand such as to alb
sorb the entire of the offerings. Resins
closed firm at Saturdays prices, with
the demand satisfactory. The whole
sale markets closed steady and UNI
changed. The following resume OF the
markets will show their tone and quo
tations at the closing to-day:
