New York September 1.-The market for cotton futures opened steady, with prices off to 8 points, and after the call worked consistently upward on buying for both accounts from all quarters. This showing was quite in contrast with the cable news the latter portraying an em- phaticanyI weak market, with futures off 7ls@11h points. and spot cotton lower by 5-32 under heavy liquidation and bear selling In Liverpool The local contingent was influenced by bad crop news. belief that the long interest had been exhausted by yesterdays sweeping declines and that short interest had been put out on the break
 Reports from the eastern belt had 1t that the crop was one to two weeks late. Receipts were under predictions at the interior towns as well as at the ports. Accounts from Texas were anything but encouraging and foreshadowed a smaller yield than heretofore figured upon. De- mand for spot cotton for export was ac- tive in all markets though the relative cheapness of cotton in New York caused buyers to center attention upon our mar ket. On the early advance here In fu- tures Europe and the south were mod crate buyers. Liverpool quickly reversed upon finding our market disposed to im- prove and at the close was well up from the bottom Midday found the local seu- timent bullish and commission houses fair bidders for October and January cotton. New Orleans on bids reflected net rise of 4 to points. During the afternoon business was inclined to drag, but the market held firm in tone, with prices put a shade under the best figures of the fore noon In the last half hour pit longs sold for profits under which prices eased off several points The market was finally steady, with prices net unchanged to points higher.

Honesty, capacity and industry are
nowhere more Indispensable than in

fundamental requisites to original APP

Washington, March 4. William Nc
Kinley second time is president of
the United States. He was ushered
into that office today in city ablaze
with more and finer decorations than
ever have graced the holiday-loving
national capital, whose streets today
resounded to the tread Of more march
ing soldiers and sailors than ever have
participated in a like function, and had
as witnesses to the ceremonies virtual
multitude, who cheered frequently
whenever he or his vice presidential
colleague was visible.
The worst of the wet weather, un-
fortunately, came just at the time Pres
ident Mckinley was being inducted
into office on the east front Of the capi-
tol, in the presence Of 10000 persons.
But the air was mild and pleasant, and
the day ended with dry weather. Gar
field was inaugurated in storm; Har-
! ison in cold rain that deluged the
city from dawn until dark, and Cleve-
land took the oath at his second inau-
gural before 10000 cheering people in
a fierce gale, with the snow beating
down upon his bare head. Today's
downpour at the most interesting point
of the proceedings, while the oath was
being administered on the east front OF
the capitol, again brought forward the

of the Louisiana delegation, received
kilograms this evening from the New
Orleans Board of Trade, asking what
could be done. There is but one an
swer: Nothing can be done until the
next congress authorizes an appropria
tion to begin the work. There may be
fund from which 100000 might be
borrowed to complete the payment on
the first dredge, but If so, no one knows
it. The senators and representatives
will make inquiries at the war depart
ment tomorrow, but little hope is offer
ed that their efforts will prove success
full. All of them haYe announced or
wired to the Board of Trade their deep
est regrets over the failure OF the bill,
which would have meant so much to
Louisiana, but it is due them to state
that they have exercised all possible
human energy and ingenuity to bring
about successful issue. 1t was not in
their power to do more.
A prominent republican member Of
the house committee on rivers and har-
bors said, after denouncing Carter in
emphatic terms:
"The rivers and harbors bill will be
one of the first measures introduced
and passed at the next session of con-
gress. 1t was cowardly attack that
Carter made upon it, and the arid land
people will have sufficient cause to re-
gret it. The Mississippi river inter-
ests have suffered more than any other,
and l pledge you that | shall fight for
Southwest pass improvement until it's
accomplished"
While these promises offer but little
balm to the wounded feelings tonight,
they are such as may be heard on every
hand.
