cent in 1885, 20 per cent in 1887 and 2S per cent in 1S96 The opening of the market was tame as to the amount of business transacted.
 Prices were to points better and the attitude of the trade rather a waiting one, with an impression of a possible inn provement as the season advances. 1nti- nations from Liverpool were to the ef- feet that July and August manipulation was not unlikely In that market Local shorts were anxious and covered liberal- ly after the opening. causing 5 to 10 points advance, the latter for October. On all sides were evidences of extreme caution and a belief that the best wealth CT and crop news can have no more than temporary depressing influence until we have reached August.
 Port receipts were 4O00 bales, against 6936 last year.

Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 Stocks opened firm today and there was a moderate display of activity. Weakness quickly supervened, however, on a sharp break in Kaffirs, the leading houses re- stricting the carry-over facilities in order to freeze out over-speculation and also to prevent big calls at the end of the month The universal opinion is that the big houses are working for a boom, but only when the market is healthy. Ac- cordingly cash sales are the order of the day. Consols sold at 97 3-16, at one time they touched 97 7-16 Americans were hardly mentioned. They opened hard and remained firm. New York caused a sharp recovery with Atchson and Union Pacific leading. The close was at the top without news to account for the rise. Montreal sold Canadian Pacific down to 139, but it rallied to 140.

Murphy A Go. cotton Letter.

New York, June 9-Weather conditions monopolzed the attention of cotton cir cles today. There was a little fall of rain along the Atlantic coast, but else where when the market opened there was no moisture of consequence and the idea nas gained ground that rain is needed
 Some sections complain of extremely hot weather and express fear of injury with out early rains. People are recalling the deterioration of crop from June 12 to September and October in previous years, and this is having much to do in pre- venting bearish demonstrations at this time, especially when 1t Is remembered that the crop lost 25 per cent in cond- ton from June to October. 1900, 25 per

Chicago, June 9.-Sunshine came to cheer the grain bears today. Fears they have expressed over the possibilities of 8 wet harvest were banished and the bulls ceased to give any advancing support when they heard that the heavy rains had stopped. AS a result wheat slumped. Corn was carried down with the leading cereal but was held up to some extent by the muscle of the big bull party.

New Orleans, June 9.-In the spot cot tor market there seemed to be only very limited demand for the staple, conse- quently the movement was light Factors are holding for full prices and evidently in anticipation of a more active request in the near future are putting out num- Der of new lists of fair average grade and staple. Sales 600. Quotations unchanged. In futures there was a fair volume of trading largely in the nature of room works Early in the session reports came in showing continued dry weather over almost the entire belt, and there was quick change of heart in professional cir cles to the end that though the summer months and September showed gains of but 1 to ? points on the morning call, the new crop positions were moved up sharp ly to the extent of points from Satur- days closing. New York at once fell In with the improvement at this end of the line and Liverpool stiffened perceptibly, the English market finally closing 1-64d above Saturdays figures on the new crop. Quickly following the initial Improvement there was a mild rush of shorts to cover. This sent prices rapidly skyward until a further improvement of to j2 points had been posted. The operations of the scalp CTS commenced and the market was sold off several points, the board at ths close showing net gains of points on June, 6

WEAK LIVERPOOL CABLES

New York, June 9.-The cotton market opened quiet with prices points lower to points higher, this being about the response due to weak Liverpool cables as concerns the summer months. Whereas they were few buying orders In evil dence on the call. the market almost i'm mediately sprung into activity and rapidly advanced on a scare of shorts, based largely upon crop complaints from vari- ous portions of the belt. The weather chart failed to note the rains predicted Saturday last and the official forecast did not indicate any ralnstorm of note in any section of the belt Southern and foreign buying helped to advance July to S.75 and August to S.53 before 10:90 o'clock for the balance of the forenoon, the mar ket was disposed to readily reflect de- mand from either side. Liverpool rallied from the midday decline and closed with the feeling steady. Claims that spot cot ton was in fairly good demand for ex- port in the South and in Liverpool came forth on the advance. Drouth, cool nights and insects were mentioned in the dis patches from the Carolinas, while hot winds, boil weevil and need of rain were reported from portions of Texas. In the afternoon the market slowly lost most of the forenoon advance under profit talk ing by room longs and absence of healthy support from the public In the last five minutes prices broke 2 to points on summer months. The close was barely steady with prices net points lower to 6 points higher, June alone showing the extreme decline. Trading for the day was limited to about 75,OO0 bales

LAWMAKERS THINK THE NEWS
PAPERS DO NOT DEVOTE PROP.
ER SPACE. TO THEM.
TO THAT END THEY WANT SUB.
scRiPTIoN PRICE OF THE REC
ORD LOWERED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Bacon of Georgia offered a resolution
in the senate providing that the com
mittee on printing consider the expe-
diency of printing special edition OF
The Congressional Record for sale to
the general public at 50 for long ses-
sions and 81 for short sessions.
He said some action ought to be
taken by congress to insure to the
general public more complete infor-
nation as to the doings in congress.
No newspaper could afford to present
to its readers, he said, more than a
brief synopsis of the proceedings in
tue two branches of congress.
Mr.. Hawley remarked that his news
paper experience extended back be-
tween 40 and SO years. When he was
younger the newspapers of the coun-
try devoted considerable attention to
the proceedings of congress, and in a
measure at least, he thought they
might return with interest to their olu
practice. The resolution was adopted.
Consideration Of the bill % estab.
lish department of commerce was re,
sumed, the pending amendment being
that of Mr.. Pettus providing that the
department of labor she iii not be
made a part of the proposed now de
partment, 1t was rejected y
Mr.. Bacon then offered an amend.
ment providing that the name Of The
now department should be the Depart
ment of Commerce and La11f. This
was adopted by a vote Of to 81. The
census bureau was retained in a meas
IRE as one of the bureaus of the new
department. The bill was then passed
