STOCK MARKET IS
 STILL VERY DULL Only Few Diversions to Relieve
 the Dead MOnotOny. LITTLE CHANGE IN THE LIST Rumors of Combination Between the Frisco System and the Central of :. Georgia Railroad Responsible

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE LIST

New York, August 5.-There were only a few diversions in today's stock mar ket to relieve what was otherwise a dead level of dullpess and monotony. Dealings during the first hour were somewhat more active than yesterday, and the mod crate upward movement became quite general. Only a few stocks moved more than point and the interest promptly died away. The execution of orders in few high-grade investment stocks, of which the small floating supply is close ly held, caused some striking advances The rise in the vanderbilts. led by New York Central, was apparently based on an expectation that today's meeting Of directors of the Manhattan Elevated rail- road would lead to some action In regard to the rumored plan to lease Manhattan.
 The adjournment without any an- nouncement led to reaction in the stocks thus affected. American Express and Uni- ted States Express rose easily on the accumulation of some small amounts of stock. Missouri Pacific resisted some pro- nounced selling pressure and moved ir- regularly all day. The refusal of Mon tana court to vacate an injunction grant ed to the Amalgamated Copper company against the working of contested mine by a rival gave a firm tone to amalga- mated, but the dealings in the stock were small. The rumors of a combination between St. Louis and San Francisco and Central of Georgia railroad were respon- sible for the advance fin the former and for the buying of the income bonds of the latter. Denials of the report from we'll informed quarters took the animation out of the movement.
 Money was In active demand in London, presumably in preparation of the 20 per cent installment of subscriptions to the S160, ,000, GOO consol issue, which is payable on Thursday. Sterling at Paris advanced a centime further today. London sold some stocks here today. This selling Is supposed to represent the re-transfer to New York of securities sent to London in June to be held there for American owll- CTS who were taking advantage of cheap rates. The liquidation of an account in Metropolitan securities, the reduction of the dividend rate on Standard oil, a re- port that the dissolution of the Reading voting trust would be deferred by not declaring the full dividend on the first preferred stock and rate cutting on packing house products from Kansas City were minor factors in the dullness and heaviness which overcame the mar ket. There was firm tone in the bond market, but no feature. Total sales, par value, $1.S75,OOO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, August b-Early cotton prices showed decline of to points in some instances when good buying set in, some of which was for Liverpool. The Bureau report of yesterday was lost sight of for the time being, but It's character was satisfactory to the bull element who took the ground that figures of S.19 would prove more helpful to their cause than figures of 75 since the latter would have been construed as exaggerated by so many in the trade as to have discouraged intended speculation. hence the figures of s.19 were, they contended, so conserva- tive as to disconcert the bear element who were anxious for an excuse to put forth claims of absurdity, etc.
 Prices have reached the level where they are admittedly reasonable and ex- pectation of good demand from spinners at an early date appears to be more wide- spread than for some time. especially since many roads in the south are fin bad shape. People who have been prominent in gathering crops have been covering freely of late and this leads to the sus- picion that the crop less prosperous than generally supposed. The weekly crop re- port was rather bearish. Carolinas. Geor- gia and Louisiana suffer from drouth. Rust and shedding in some districts.

New Orleans, August 5.-Spot cotton dull and easy.

Notwithstanding this spurt of buying, however, the under current Of bearish sentiment was too strong for the improvement to last and when the weekly crop condition reports came in there was a sharp turn in the opposite direction in which the figures dropped away to points on the several months. This was followed by rally among leading bulls who strove hard to holster up prices but the result was only a few rapid fluctuations covering range If 8 to 4 points either way that left the market at the close net l point down to point up.

SOME SPASMOOlC TRADING

New York, August 5.-The cotton mar ket opened steady, with prices unchanged to { points lower, this being an indiffer- ent response to weak Liverpool cables and to light foreign selling. American selling orders and a bearish interpreta- tion of yesterdays bureau report was given as the factors which most dis turbed the foreign bulls and invited bear pressure. The chief support of the local market was active, Wall street buying of October, November and January.
 Trading was active in a spasmodic way during the session, though fluctuations were at no time broad. Before midday the Wall street orders had rallied the market to a shade above the closing of yesterday. Then came the weekly crop weather report from Washington and proved to be more favorable than an- ticipated by the trade as a whole, Prices settled back several points, but at the decline Wall street became a large buy CT of the distant months. Near the close the market fell a trihe under profit-taking by local interests, and was finally steady, with prices net 1 point higher to points lower. Total sales were estimated at 125,000 bales.

Washington, April IA. Representa-
tive Henry of Mississippi, was seen
at the capitol the other day, and was
questioned relative to the interview
in Washington with Hon. William s.
McAllister, in which that gentleman
based his opposition to Mr.. Henry's
denomination for Congress in the new
Eight ditsriot Of Mississippi, upon the
ground that he, (Mr. Henry is a
friend of Col. Bryan. Mr.. Henry stat
ed that it was not his intention to
take notice of the attacks of Mr.. Mo
Allister, because in the first place he
did not desire to give him that notori-
ETY. which he appeared to be seeking
and IN the second place that the in
terviews had appeared in Washington
newspapers, whose readers have moth
ing to do with the election of Con-
gresham in the State of Mississippi.
"If upon my return to Mississippi,
said Mr.. Henry, "Mr. McAlllster de-
sires to attack me upon the stump for
being friend of Col. Bryan, 1 shall
be glad to meet the issue. -
Mr.. Henry admitted that he is .
friend of Col. Bryan, and stated that
he is proud to be considered SO; that
as a Democrat he had supported the
policies enunciated by the Kansas
City Platform, which is the last au
thorized declaration of the Democrat
10 party that those who did not sup
port the platform and ticket are not
Democrats. Mr.. Henry says that he
believes today, that Mr.. Bryan, as an
editor is doing all in his power to
advance the cause of Democracy, and
that he is glad to be the friend of
such a man. Under present conditions,
however, Mr.. Henry states, desiring
the success of the Democratic party
above all other things politically, and
without detraoting in the least from
his friendship for Mr.. Bryan, he
would be in favor of the nomination
