Price Analyzes Market.

NEW YORK. Sept e-since the publication of the monthly report of the United States orous. subtle and insi3uous efforts have been made to nullfy the effect of that report and unduly depress the value of cotton, These ef- forts have emanated for the moss part from brokers and manpulators ident fed with cor- cerns whore business ft Is to purchase cotton in the South for export and it has been plain that their efforts were intended to depreciatc the price Of spot cotton in the South by ar tifcialy depressing futures in New York.
 They have had the audacity to attempt te discrecit less an authority than the United States Government. They have circulated false reports that was selling out the cotton which have bought and acting in bad faith towards the people of the South by advising them to buy. while was tfliinS. They have endeav- ored to stampede tke market by emphasizing the fact that receipts are large. while 1t is we'll known that large receipts early in the season are invariably indicative of small and market today shows that the efforts have fsiled and now feel confident that fresh advance much nearer to cents than they have previ- ously been.
 The following proposition with regard to the cotton situation hol to be self-evident:. The indicated crop. according to all accepted au- thorities is decidedly less than last year The @ to Ss,s. all certificated stock of cotton in New York avail able for delivery on contract is this evening only IS, 900 bales. Futures in New York at present prices are no higher than the price of middlng cotton in almost all the. Southern markets tributary to New Lork. while the cos; of bringing such cotton to New York and dc livering 1t on contract Is not less than half a cent per pound. The short interest Is enormous their immedists reou,rcments ea' The eonsnmo ,o tion of Southern mills chiefly located in the States of Virginia. North Carolina. South Caro- lima and Georgia for the current year will not be less than 2. 900. 900 bales. the production of the States in which these mills are located ference c,, of 500. 600 bales o is much less than was last year exported from the port of Sa- vannah alone.
 The relation of the New York market to the Southern markets and the trade at large Is coming more and more artificial each year. and those who permit themselves to be short in the New York market are. in my opinion. making serious mistake. The Southern holder and producer will do well to disregard the manipulated fluctuations of an artificial market and governing hiniyclf by the Uommer cial law of supply ami dsmaDd Is justifed in demanding and receiving at leest cents pc- .,ouhd for this years crop of cotton

ALFONSO IS DEMOCRATIC.
Young King of Spain Popular With
 His Subjects.

New York. Sept. 9.-One of the most constant questions one hears today, says a dispatch to The Herald, is what is the King of Spain doing. how is he devel- opng. and what impression Is he making on his country?
 A gentleman who has lived many years in Madrid and whose business is to watch the development of matters in Spain says, continues the core espondent:
 The young King is earning large pop ulaIity. If left alone he would be more popular still. Left to his own way. he loves to go everywhere, to talk with the people and hear what they have to say There is no country more democratic than Spain and a King to be popular must mix with the people.
 The young King is full of dignity While he thus loves to mix with the peo, ple. they try to understand and make friends with him, and he never for one moment loses sight of his position ant what is due himself.
 'But he is very often surrounded by old generals, men who do not go witl the times and do not understand tn, nee1s of the country. He has plenty O character and lots of good energy. rar' qualities in Spain

WILL BE A CUTTER.
Not Intended That Shamrock III
 Shall be 2 Schooner.

London, Sept. 9.-The idea mooted in New York that the Shamrock III will be a schooner is unfour led. She will be a steel cutter very similar to the recent cup races in type and general appearance.
 Sir Thomas Tipton takes exception to the suggestion that he compels Ameri- can designers to continue the production of freak boats. He admits that there is considerably of a freak in the racer for the Americas cup, but says this is due entirely to the conditions of the rules governing cup defenders. Sir Thomas says Messrs. Fyfe and Watson would be glad to have the chance of turning out d healthy. rationay boat, but under the present conditions, it would have no chance.
 Sir Thomas Lipton. accompanied by Captain Wringc and William Fyfe, the yacht designer, visited the Dennys yard at Dumbarton this afternoon and had a long interview with the heads of the firm, fixing the terms for the building of the Shamrock III. Work is now progress ing. and 1t was apparently very interest ing to the Liton party.

 Iraily Indicate that the crop will be gathered much earlier than usual The practical cor roboration of monthly bureau report today by the weekly weather report which shows marked deterioration in crop outlook, will undoubtedly have its effect on the minds of European spin ners. It seems that the purport of the bureau report Is just beginning to, percolate judging from the improved demand for spots in Liver gDool. Tn our market the sales were B. 800 bales today and values showed frmer tendency. With a continued demand for spots. the heavy movement will be offset and if speculation enters the market prices may en- nance considerably. Nevertheless 1t must not be forgotten that the world requires over l,- 900. 900 American for consumption this year, irrespective of any other feature. and there
