New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, August 26-The move ment of spot cotton today was very light owing to the scant supply of desir- able grades. Factors, however, are now uncovering small lists of new cotton, which may result in increased movement during the next few days. Sales, 300 bales including 100 to arrive. Quotations un- changed.
 With Liverpool up 3-32d on spots and 2-64Q4-64d on deliveries, and with flood of New York buying orders in evidence the market for contracts opened strong at a gain of about points over yesterday 8 closing But there was considerable real king of early profits at the level indi- cated, and under the pressure of these profit taking sales values fell off to 6 points all along the line. The downward turn. however, was of brief duration. A renewed whirf of long trading set in that sent the figures up again. and point or two beyond the opening range. At this juncture came the regular weekly re- port concerning the conditions of the growing crop An unfavorable report had been generally anticipated, but the char acter of the report was so unexpectedly unfavorable that the talent was carried fairly off its feet and brisk buying set in, prices moving up some points more. Thereafter there were slight huctua- tions, the market at the close showing net gains of 9 points on September and 12 to 15 on the other months, except Au- gust, which closed at last nights f1g- ures.

Chicago 'chano.

Chicago August 26.-All markets had a. downward trend today. Fine weather in the northwest, where the spring wheat harvests are exerting big influence on the worlds prices and the possibility of increased movement worked the edge off of wheat. Corn seems to have been over bought on the fear of scarcity for near contracts. Good crop reports did the rest and sympathy influenced downturns in other pits. At the close September wheat was %@#c lower. September corn 1Ac off and September oats sc down. Provisions closed 7lac up to 5c down.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York August 2s.-The features of the early cotton market were the ab- sence of rain in Texas and elsewhere the heavy receipts promised for the ports and quite satisfactory Liverpool cables, The result of all this was to establish further advance of 10 to 15 points and a resumption of the activity of yesterday. In the minds of many it was a question of whether poor crop has not been suf- ficiently discounted, but since the specu- lative element are always emotional and easily swayed. Some doubt is fell 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 of rains in Texas and 1t Is insisted on 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 million bales more or less Prices were weaker after the opening on prifit taking but later rallied on Liverpool buying.

BULLS AGAIN IN EVIDENCE

New York, August 2s.-The cotton mar ket opened strong with prices one to seven points higher on a wave of heavy buying in which the shorts led, though Wall street and Europepan demand were by no means light. The cause for this further sharp advance was a bullish construction of private and public Liverpool cables and of the might message crop reports from the belt as a whole.
 While there was slight reaction after the call, the general ruling of the market was very firm. Promptly at noon the weekly government report began to come over the wires and indicated one of the most unfavorable crop conditions Of re- cent years. The report gave scarcely a state free from pronounced deteriora- ton, while as for Texas it was stated that even with favorable climatic conditions during the balance of the season the yield could only be an average one. Rust shedding, lack of moisture, excessive heat, Insect ravages and lack of fruit were complained of in many important dis tricts. On the whole the report struck the room as being radically bullish and prices advanced with bound. For the balance of the day the market was strong and very active with prices of SS1 Tor January. At the top Wall street interests appeared to be eagerly selling Maroh' as if to hedge themselves against their enor- nous holdings of January.
 The market closed firm and net to Is points higher. Total sales estimated at 60O,000 bales or about equal to the tremendous business of yesterday.

fThe responsive woman, although not

her nature, a part of her life, TO force

this necessity of her being brings her
responsiveness into play upon an OF

There is a spurious sort Of reson
siveness that is nothing more than a
vulgar curiosity in the affairs of 9TH

time is sure to reveal itself in all the
unloveliness of its meaning
The responsive woman can go down to

can bubble with humor in company

when the ice.sheeted image stood

work Of genius. 1t is related that
weak-minded youth of the village,
frightened, ran away. and that one
gruff old citizen, who rarely greeted
his fellow-townsmen on the street,
lifted his hat as he gazed at the Snow

Mead with two friends labored for
hours In the cold December night.
Henry Burnham kept hot fire going
in the old Burnham foundry, and sup
piled the younger workers with sweet
cider, while his brother, Edward, as
