MARKETS FOR FUTURES
WAVE OF HEAVY BUYING AT
 THE OPENING.
Government Report Struck the Room as Radically Bullish and Prices Went Up With a Bound.
 Closed at Advance.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s-The cotton marke, opened strong with pIices 67 points higher on . wave of heavy buying in which the shorts led. though Wall Street and European demand was by no means light The cause for this further sharp advance was a bullish construc. tiof of private and public Liverpool cables and of the might hessage'' crop reports from the belt as whole. There was a sight reaction after the call, the general ruling of the mar ket was very firm. Promptly at noon the weekly Government report began to come over the wires and indicated une of the most un- favorable crop conditions of recent years. The report gave scarcely State free from pro nounced detertoration, while as for Texas 1t YVES stated that even with favorable climatic conditions during the balance of the season the yield couli only be an average one Rust, shedding, lack of moisture, excessive heat, in sect ravages and lack of fruit were complainet of in many important districts. On the whole the report struck the room as being radicciy y bulish and prices advanced with bound. For the balance of the day the market was strong and very active with prices of 6.2I for January. At the top Wall Stree; interests appeared to he eagerly selling March as 1T to hedge themselves against the.r enoi m us hoid. ings of January. The market closed firm and net 59 IS points higher. Total sales estimated at 60u GOO bales about equal to the tre- mendous business of yesterday.

Murphy 6 Co.'S (Tnc.1 Cotton Letter [Bv Private Wire1

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-The features of the early cotton market were the absence of rain in Texas and elsewhere. the heavy receipts promised for the ports and quite satief 5ctory Liverpool cables The result of al this was to establish further advance of l0pl5 DO nts and a resumption of the activity of yesterday. In the minds of many 1t was a question wheth- CT a poor crop has not been sufficiently dis counted, but since the speculative element are always emotional and easily swayed. some doubt is felt whether the market Is not yet to feel the effect of various crop reports to be soon issued. Everything, or at least much, depends on the matter .cf rains in Texas and 1t Is insisted that the one hand that the State cannot possibly make a larger crop and on the other hand that a good crop Is yet possible: In short, the extreme views for that State range to the extent of a .llion bales, more or less.
 Prices were weaker after the opening on profit taking but later rallied Liverpool buying. The weekly bureau report was bulsh and helped to harden the market just as ex- pected and further advance is sure to follow the next bureau report. Port receipts were estimated today at L. GOO.

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 26.-Liverpocl was additionally exercised today by tha exhibition of strength in Southern spot markets and the multiplicity of bad crop accounts ariiv- ing abroad, and the result wus rise Vf points in deliveries, while spots doubled the course by advancing 3-32 with sales of 5000 bales, Trading here was effected ,witi, little more deiiberation, but the buyGg side was most in favor and friendly sentiment was stimulated by the Governments full confirm tion of crop damage noted 11 recent pr.vate advices. so that a fuhther improvement was established without much opposition. Clos ing quotations are unchanged fo. August but 9GlS points higher On other months. In ihe weekly Government report the assertion IS ventured that in Texas the deterioration has been so pronounced that even with m st ia vorable weather coniit ons henceforth yield in excess of the average is impossible. This is a very broad and important statement, as 1t is not long since that Texas was regarded as being good for a production of anywhere between 1000, GOO and 5000 900 bales this coming season. Thus the change for the bet. ter in sentiment is not surprising and i; is no wonder that the interior is reluctant to ex- tend offers of any magnitude around exist. ing quotations.

BONES UNDER WHITE HOUSE :.
Also a Stone Vault, an Oven and
 Charred Timbers.

Indianapolis News.
 Workmen employed in tearing out the interior of the White House have un- ea-thed under the basement a portion of a human skeleton. The discovery created consternation among the negro lab0rcrs, who are of a superstitous nature. They were kept at work with difficulty.
 Efforts have been made to keep the dis covery a secret pending a more careful investigation of the bones eXhumed from such an unlocked for, but historical rest ing place.
 The mysterious discovery was made while the laborers were engaged in ex- cavating d sub-celar below the floor of the basement for the new heating appa- ratus. After going down about ten feet a massive stone vault was encountered. 1t proved to be what was apparently the foundation walls of an old house that had evidently stood on the same spot where the White House was afterward erected. The land upon which the White House and adjacent public buildings arc built is made and developed to it's pres ent condition by filling in and grading.
 In this Same excavation was found a large oven embedded in the stone wall, and near the oven were the bones. It was the discovery of the bones in conjunction with the oven that terrorized the work men and caused them to believe that they had unearthed an ancient tomb.
 During the tearing out process many other interesting discoveries have been made. For instance, in the famous east room, eVldences or the hre of INA when the mansion was partly destroyed by the British, were discovered. As the walls were cut out for the placing of the new iron beams and supports pieces of old charred timbers were found, having been burned off close up to the stone walls, and left undisturbed when the portion which was burned was reconstructed.
 Acording to experts. the outside walls of the White House are of excellent con- dition. and said to be more substantial than those of modern times Fault is found. however. with some of the inte- rior brick arches and construction of old ell times. Some of the latter were found to he dangerously weak and in a state of decay. In a few places the old foun- dation was opened and found to be in need of repair. New retaining walls have been erected to brace up the weak places.
