New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug 7.--.he improvement in Liverpool was reflected on the spot cotton market on this side. There was better line of local orders which resulted in the sale of .225 bales. including 700 f. C b. terms and 2SO to arrive. Quotations n.hanged.
 In the market for futures there was little outside interest manifested and room traders apparently were not inclined to indulge their usual proclivity for scalping. nor was there much show of animation among the local bulls. Iiyerpol assumed a strong attitude. moving up i-32d on spots and 264d65 64d on de- lfveries, the greater advance standtlg on the near months. Reliable cables from the other side report the Manchester spinners bare of stocks and predict an improvement during the next few weeks despite a general belief on the part of the British trade m large output from the growing crops. The market opened with August sa9 points higher, while the other positions moved up 2a4 points. Imme- diately after the first call there was a reac- tion carrying August down points and other months 244 points, but Q subsequent recov- cry sent August up again to the extent of points. the other positions rega'nIns 2Qo points. This was followed by series of slight fluctuations until the close when the board showed net gains the day of | ! points on August. on September and 445 points on the Winter months.

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug 7.-AdvIccs from Liv erpool today indicated that developments re- gently rad giver rise to expoctatIcns of a bet ter trade demand and this inforrpntion was substantiated by advance of l-32d in spots with sales of 8 900 bales and a rise of 2-64@4 64 in deliveries. It is possible. how ever, that the numerous reports of damage from Mexican weevi in Texas and drought in some scattered sections of other States have let room for fear abroad thct the yield ma? not prove excessive At any rate. events in this connection are watched with special in terest indicating that foreigners are hot so much concerned about the trade outlook as the size of the crop There was a stcadler tone here on some shorts covering and mod crate fresh buying influenced by reports of improvement in the New York dry goods situa- tion which combined with the favorable course of Liverpool, resulted in a fair advance. Closing quotations are points higher for August and 4Q6 points higher on the other options. Today's developments have proven that there is still more than side U the market, fact which bears up to recently were inclined to forget. The mere expectation of an improvement in the regular tradc demand abroad. however, was sufficient to refresh the memory While bearish sentiment continues in the majority the markets repeated resist ance to any pressure around the prevailing level of prices likely to cause sellers to exer- else greater moderation.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
GENERAL BUYING MOVEMENT
 AT OPENING.
English Cables Were Bullish and News From the Belt Showed That Excessive Tempera-
 lures Were Prevailing.

NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-The cotton market opened steady with prices 24o points higher on a general buying movement in which the shorts took a leading part The English mar ket reports were decidedly more bullish than anticipated and there complaints of ex- cessive temperatures the western belt Re ceipts were not up to expectations, lemand for spot cotton was more active and it was seen that the New York stock was rapidly dimin- ishing. Rumors that August shorts were to be given something of a squeeze to some extent stimulated investment support. l5- ward the close of the first part the market eased off a trihe under profit taking. but to- ward midday hardened 6n renewed demand ftom the shorts whe were exceedingly nervous. Later in the afternoon active Wall Street buying and some commission house support sent the whole list up rapidly. The feature of the list was August, which strong throIgncut, closing at top no.ch Philadelphia spot cotton houses and local shorts were in active competition througho II the session. September and the later months were sold by the more confident bears In the last ten minutes prices crept ap several points further on general buying led by Wall Street bulls.

 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 7.-Lverpool ad- vices were favorable and our market in sym: pathy opened points higher on August and 294 on the other months. Subsequently. how ever, selling to realize occasion.d n break of 496 on near months and 2q3 on late. Near the close shorts covering again caused an ad- vance of 4Q8. making the net gain points on August and 416 tho other months, ca bles from Liverpool claim that notwithstand- ing the very favorable crop outlook spinners are bare of stocks and that a higher market is looked for during the next two weeks. Weather conditions continue propitious for the development of the plant and judging from present indications the marketing # new cot ton from Texas will be on a large scale in a few days. The liquidation of August may hold values temporarily but the movement. the demand for spots. and daily weather conditions will regulate the future cGUrse of values.

WALL STREET REVIEW
FURTHER EXPANSION IN VOL
 LIME OF TRADING.
There Were Points of Weakness in the Market Despite the Marked Strength in the Most Con-
 spicuous Stocks.

NEW YORK, Aug 7.-There was further expansion in the volume of trading in to- day's stock market and the same kind of ir- regular strength which was shown yesterday There points of weakness in the mar ket, in spite of the marked strength of the most conspicuous stocks and there was a still larg@r number of important stocks which did not respond to the advance and were simply dull and neglected throughout the session. There violent movements in some usu ally obscure stoc6s. but in some also which always active and prominent the prices fuctuated # a full point between transac tions. It took but two transactions to lift Burlington. Cedar Rapids and Northern l5 points. following 25point rise yesterday, This was the result of tho announcement Dy the protective committee of the minority stockholders tht they had secured an offe- of a high price for the outstanding minority stock anassenting to the plaE of exchange with Rock Island. Other stocks which seemed to be affected in sympathy were Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis. the Kanawaha and Michigan and the New York. Chicago and St. Louis stocks. The Hooking Valley stocks and Louisville and Nashville moved upwards with almost equal violence. but with no spc- cific development ot explain the movement The rise In Illinois Central had in it's favor excellent reports of gross earnings for July and net earnings for June. There were large dealings in various Southern and Southwest ern stocks. but the resulting price movement was irregular. Missouri Pacific under considerable pressure. declining at one time l%. while Texas and Pacific. on tnc other hand, continued to advance. The large buy ing of Southern Railway was without much effect the price. The weakness of Man haitian attributed to fears of a strike by engineers and motormen. The rise m Penn sylvania and its subsidiary coal carriers was apparently in sympathy with the Hooking Val ley movement. National Lead was reported in demand for some large financial interests There not much in the general situation upon which to base a rise In prices, since the news showed little change in conditions. which continued favorable to values. Foreign ex- change. is firm. but the very strong return made today by the Bank of France reflects the accumulation of resources at that capital and the uniikelihood of further pressure there for goiu for the repayment of gold. London showed encouragement over tho evidences Of the improved condition Of the King of Eng land and bought some stocks The buoyancy of few stocks continued until the close. which was active and steady
 Central of Georgia bonds were tho only fea- ture of the bond market, which was otherwise dull and irregular. Total sales (par value), S2 l45, 900. United States 3s declined A per cent. on the last call.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Qnc.) Cotton Letter

 NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-An advance of 2Ge points in the early cotton market was the fen ture of the early market in small transactions. There was continued leaning to the long side, but people entertaining a favorable opinion of tfe morket as indisposed to buy as wc'e bears to sell. Liverpool is simply following New York and no relief is expected from there unless spinI CTS should grow nervous over crop prospects, which although now regarded as fine. may ultimately prove poor. We shall likely experience something of waiting market with a range not exceeding 10 to IS points and crop guesse-s may be expected to jump from one side to the other in very short order cording to the character of daily weather news On the whole, there is enough in the character and number of poor crop accounts coming to cause reflection and check aggres- sive action until near the close of the month. The weather satisfactory with some mois- ture in Texas, Georgia. Alabama and the Caro- Mnas, shorts covering and reports of boil weevil ravagec in Texas came In via New Orleans. Houston received a big pile of new cotton. Port receipts were estimated at 1000. against 3.2oo last year.

A Story With a Remark by Bis
 marck on Champagne.
Golden Penny,

Golden Penny.
 Baron von Hengervar. who has repre- sented Austria-Hungary successively in Berlin, Paris and London. and finally in Washington. has just been raised to the dignity of Ambassador. Years ago, when he was assistant secretary of the Austrian Embassy al Berlin, Bismarck gave a din- ner to which the Baron was invited. All the guests except Won Hengervar drank champagne. and Bismarck noticing the young mans abstinence, asked the reason therefor.
 'I have not yet earned the right so to Indulge" was the reply.
 An, that will not do" remarked Bis marck. it is allotted to every able-bodied man in this world to consume in his life time 10000 bottles of champagne. So you should begin now, lest you fail to secure your just portion"
 If 10000 bottles be the allotment for the ordinary man." responded the young diplomatist. lowing to the Iron Chan cellor. your excellency. being an extra ordinary man. should have double allow ance. and I therefore take great pleas ure in awarding my share to you"
 T thank you" Bismarck replied but permit me to inform you that without waiting for your grand remuneration l have already passed the 20,000 mark

"HARAKIRI."
japanese Sentiment of Death in Pref
erence to Dishonor.

From the London Chronicle.
The report from Toxic that the Japanese
officer Yamaguchi has committed suicide be-
cause his father, an old soldier, reproached
him with having lost two hundred brave
men. who were killed recently by an ava
lanche, and being saved himself is quite in
accordance with the best japanese tradi-
tions. "Harakiri, Or the Japanese
prefer to call it themselves, "seppuku,'' is
not aboriginal japanese custom, but
was evolved gradually during the middle
ages. It's origin is probably to be found in
the desire on the part of vanquished war
riors to avoid the humiliation of falling into
their enemies hands alive. Thus the GUS
tom would come to be a characteristic OF
the military class, or at that time of the
feudal nobility and gentry. From a GUS
tom it developed into privilege, and at the
beginning of the sixteenth century all who
could claim the rank of gentleman were
exempted from the indignity of being put
to death by the common executioner and
were allowed to commit "harakiri'' instead,
the time and place being notified to them
officiaAy and officials being sent to witness
the ceremony.
How ineradicable is the Japanese senti-
ment of death rather than dishonor was
shown In a rather ludicrous way in the ear
ly days of the modern constitution. A
young Japanese midshipman on board a
British man-of-war was reprima nded by
the authorities at Toxic for some small in
discretion. and on the receipt of the letter
went and committed 'harakiri' in the
wardroom. The romantic novels of Japan
are full of instances of this time -honored
cuStom-the most famous of which is the
story of THE Fortyseven Ronins." The
vendetta, though ..imperatively prescribed
by custom, was forbidden by law, much the
same as dueling with us. To take ven-
geance on an enemy was inevitable to
chivalrous japanese, but it also involy ed
capital punishment in 'harakri."
