COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Steady With
Prices Up Points.

The Market Closes Steady with
Prices Up Points.
New York. May 31.-There was a surfeit
of news upon which to base new ventures
in cotton to-day, but the business done
reflected contracting. rather than broad
ening. speculation. Taken as a whole, the
market was steadier and scored slight net
gains. But the day was unsatisfactory
from a business standpoint, and left longs
and shorts still in doubt as to the near
future. The opening was quiet and firm,
with prices points lower to 8 points
higher. Liquidation of near months
caused the decline; the far months were
supported by a few commission houses
and restless shorts. Following the call,
the market steadied decidedly on increas-
ed demand from the bear side and de-
creased offerings. July advanced more
rapidly than the rest of the list, but at
no time was there any evidence of sup
port from the Clique" After the first
hour prices eased off several points un-
der selling for profits by early buyers.
most of whom were disturbed by rumors
that the acreage increase would reach
fully 10 per cent. Receipts were heavy,
but were offset by reports of more heavy,
unneeded rains in the South Atlantic
states and central belt. AT noon the crop
report, showing an average contention of
S1.5 was received, showing the lowest fig
ures for June l in over twenty years. The
acreage increase was given as S3 per
cent. While the acreage figures were re-
garded as bearish, the crop condition was
a disappointment and led to active buying
of a covering nature. On this support
the market shot up 10 points and for a
time showed pronounced strength Then
selling for a reaction and brisk proft-tak
ing sent prices off again. Still later the
market was steady on bad crop reports,
and prices stiffened several points The
close was steady, with prices net I'M
changed TO 6 points higher.

THE TIME EXTENDED
Century Fund Com
mission Changes It's Plans.
TO WORK UNTIL DECEMBER 81, 1902
Another Year Is Allowed in Which to
Reach the Goal and Obtain 10000
900 to Further the Work of the
Methodist Church.

The fact has not been officially COM
municated to the Methodist churches,
but it is nevertheless decided, that the
Twentieth Cenury Fund Commission
of that church, north, has decided to
extend the time limit for attaining the
object for which it was organized until
December 81, 1902, or one year longer
than was at first intended. Iowa is a
part of the north division.
Cause for Extension.
The reason for this action is the
fact that almost a year lapsed before
the work of collecting money was got
ten under way. The bishops took
their action in November, 1898, speci-
flying that collecting should begin with
the year 1899. But it was not until
May, 1900, that a general conference
officially endorsed the fund movement,
and as many stood out on technicali-
ties, Methodsm North can hardly be
said to have been enlisted in the move
ment for longer period than year
and half. The very latest figures
are $1,500,000 for Christian education,
$4,000, 900 for church debts and $780,
900 for philanthropy and charity.
Enough more is promised 20 make the
total $13,500,000, which is two-thirds
of the stint of $20,000,0O0 Methodism
south set out to raise S1,500,000. and
has succeeded and Methodists in Can
ada $1,250,000 and they have succeed
ed. British Wesleyans have s4,500,O00
of the $5,000,000 which was their stint
Plans to Change.
Until now Methodists north have
worked quietly, expanding most of
their energies upon organization, and
doing their solicitation through presid-
ing elders and pastors. Some criticism
has been heard within the denomina-
ton because more spectacular meth
DDS have not been employed, with the
purpose of bringing in outsiders. and
perchance securing some of the contri-
buttons needed from those not Metho-
dists. The reason for the delay in en-
ploying wide awake measures have
been, it is said, two in number. One
was the hope that greater good might
come to Methodism through increased
intelligence of giving and of the active
ness of the church than through the
possession of the money, and the other
was to avoid reaction which might pre-
vent the whole amount being obtained.
| Beginning next January there are to be
held, perhaps, the most unique meet
ings ever held in American cities.
The territory to be covered will be the
principal cities in New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois Michigan, Minnesota. Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas, and it is declar,
ed that the whole year of 1902 will be
so thoroughly given over to public agi,
