Col. Maury Advocates Admitting Sons as hem
beers of Confederate Camps.

The question of admitting sons of Con-
federate Veterans to membership in the
veteran camps was brought up and ad-
vocated at the regularmeeting OF Pickett
Camp in Richmond by Past Grand Com
mander Maury
Col. Maury favored the opening OF The
doors to the sons on the ground that the
time was coming, il not at hand, when
young blood and energy were needed in
the organization as a stimulant. The
great work of the veterans. he said,
should not end with the passing OF the
last veteran but should be continued by
their sons
Col. Maury spoke Of two camps in Vir-
GINA already admitting TO their member
ship sons, and showed that this lead had
been most satisfactory He was care
full to explain that he did not advocate
the consolidation of the sons of Confeder-
ate Veterans with the veterans, but
thought the doors Of the camps should
be open to any veterans son as an indi-
vidual and not as a member OF the Sons
of Veterans.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. S.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm and 2@4 points higher
on active general buying, in which the
local shorts and the Wall street bull
interest were in active competition.
Following the call the tendency was
quite steadily upward, with Southern,
southwestern, commission houses and
foreign demand in evidence. The Liv-
erpool cables were better than ex-
pected, and the private advices from
that market declared the feeling in
european cotton circles was less bear
ism than in some time past. The crop
reports were very mixed, while the
weather statements from Washington
were indicative of serious hot wave
over the Southwest. PHILADELPHIA and
local spot cotton firms were eager buy
ers OF the August cotton. The late
cables from Liverpool were something
OF a disappointment but failed to af-
Iect the market here appreciably. At

The cotton exchanges in this coun-
try and England will be closed to-mor-
row in honor of the coronation of
King Edward. So close are the trade
relations between this country and
England, and particularly the cotton
trade relations, that the determination
to close on this side was generally in
dorsed. Thanks were returned by the
president of the Liverpool Exchange
for the closing of the more important
American exchanges out of respect to
the coronation of his majesty The
closing of the exchanges caused hesita-
ton among the trade, and probably ac-
counts for the lack of support towards

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 8.-European ad-
vices were distinctly more favorable
than looked for yesterday afternoon,
but failed to create any general ac-
tivity among the commission houses.
The recent heavy buying by Wall
street houses is explained by the bull
ish circulars issued to-day, and they
are likely to continue during the year,
and which will be given more thought
from now on whatever the crop pros
poets may be. With a large consump-
ton crop prospects from now on will
be closely watched and canyassed. 1t
is well to bear in mind the condition
has always declined during August.
On the other hand spinners here and
in Europe are convinced that a large
crop is assured, and 1t will require
strong arguments to change their ideas,
which will probably be sustained by
an early movement.
