cotton Letter.

c. W. Lee & Co.'S Letter to Il. U. Goth
 ran & Co.
 New York, March 8.-The market looked more tired today than yesterday. At one time there was the same attempt to put prices up. but the buyers got too much cotton and the market later declined again. August was as weak as any month and the selling was by far the best of the week. It looks as though buyers had all the cotton they could look after for the moment In Liverpool the market broke sharply points, and this was &C., companied by rather unfavorable news, as far as the bull outlook was concerned The feeling in Liverpool seemed to be that the bull crowd would have difficulty in getting out of the market without breaking prices and having a collapse on their hands. Prices are high enough for the moment, at least. and we cannot change our opinion that 1t Is dangerous to buy cotton at this level. There is likely to be break and sharp one.

Murphy G Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York, March 8.-Bears took ad- vantage of a sharp decline at Liverpool today by trying to depress our market. The closing down of some English mills on short time was used with some effect although 1t was not believed that this would prove permanently harmful at this time when the crop question is still In the balance and the yield may prove quite moderate. But the fact that the Liver pool stocks are ahead of last year would enable them to keep out of the market for A while New York opened to points lower but soon rallied. The loss was occasioned more by receipts than foreign mill news, in fact the decline was hailed with satisfaction by many who wished to get in at the lower prices. Shorts were liberal buyers and wall street bought on fair scale. Liverpool lost 31h points today. Receipts at the ports today are estimated at 25,00o last wear 16,0oO The visible supply of cotton of all kinds during the week is now Al 900 as against 77,000 more last week. The American supply lost 170OO during the week and Is now 3,336,00O. At the same time 1t must be born in mind that the total visible supply is still ahead of last year by GOO and the American Is ahead by over 10000 The weekly trade reports were less bullish but reports continued to pour in as to small stocks at uncounted towns and the likelihood of greatly re- duced acreage with decreased sales of fertilizers and farm work greatly behind in all sections.

COTTON MARKET
 RULED BY BEARS Public and Private Cables Ir- f1uenced Selling Movement SPECULATION WAS ACTIVE First Dash to Sell Carried May and July Of, But Substantial Buy
 ing Soon Sent Both Months
 Upward.
SPECULATION WAS ACTIVE

New York, March S-The cotton market opened easy with prices to points low CT under heavy realizing, which was, in fact, merely continuation of the liqui- dation started in mid afternoon yester- day. Public and private cables were very bearish and stimulated the selling move ment and even created a feeling of con- ldence among heretofore discouraged bears. Futures in Liverpool were to points lower and spot cotton declined 1-32d on sales of 5000 bales. The first dash to sell carried May off to s.sO and July to s.Ss. But after the call, covering by yesterdays sellers and substantial buy ing for the account of investors, who sold on the late bulge, sent May up to s.S4 and July to 8.SS, with the market once more very steady in tone. Port receipts were again large. Early estimates were for 24- 900 bales, against 17,s00 same day last year. Rumor had it that some 100000 to 100000 spindles had been shut down and that conditions for the moment were less promising.
 All the forenoon speculation was active and general, though the orders of many commission houses calling for the repur- chase of cotton sold higher were sealed down well into the 7Os for May and July.
 The market closed steady, to points lower.

NO CAUSE FOR CRITICISM.
Naval Officials Find No Fault with
Admiral Higsinson's Re-
cent Action,

Washington, Sept, 3.-The officials
OF the navy department. are surprised
at the amount of criticism which has
been aroused by the visit of the Ouch
ess of Marlborough, Assistant secre-
tary OF War Sanger and party to
Rear Admiral Higginson aboard his
nag hlp, the Kearsarge. 1t is not the
understanding among the officials here
mat Admiral Higginson invited the
party to come aboard, although they
see no reason why he should not have
extended an invitation, as the visit was
made during the period of prepara-
ton and not during the time when
the attacking movement of the fleet
had begun. Moreover, they point to
precedents, cases where Inequalities
and courtesies were extended to per-
sons outside the service during actual
war. When the Oregon was at Guam

nurses, among them Miss Chandler, a
daughter of William .Astor Chandler.

physicians at that hour said Judge
Durand might live 4S hours, but that
his recovery was all but impossible.

favorable outcome, but there has oc-

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 3.-Drs. David

this city, who were called to Flint
Monday night to attend Judge
George H. Durand, have returned

DR.. Inglis said there was slight
chance that the physicians might be
able to stimulate Judge Durand's
heart into something like renewed
action or recovery, but there could
be nothing for him but paralysis
during the remainder of his life.

matter how good an anonymous letter

absolutely refuses to print it. The
editor is too modest to assume the
authorship of the masterpieces that

care to assume the risk involved in
printing those that might contain
