 Prit,nAn nad Wire


 NEW YORK. Aug. 3I.-Liverpoo displayed some weakness and hesitation today and a similar feeling was shown in early mar ket when prices were 3d6 points lower. With the exception of heavy rains at one station in Texas, the weather was good. Crop news was mixed and cotton was running slowly, but, of course. it is gaining over the past week or two. Nevertheless. It will have to gain ma terially before any impression is made on the market. Before long 1t is calculated that spin ners will be entering the market with good deal of freedom. The question will then be if the avidty to buy may not he such as to off, set any avalanche of receipts at the time and even if they display no great eagerness It will be a question whether prices will not be main tained until the movement reaches a normal total from week to week. The market hardened after the opening and prices moved up at noon in all directions and more especially for Sep tember Selling deferred by the small movement. only 700 being estimated for the day at all ports. against G. 900 last year Boil weevi and boil worm damage in Texas are believed to have been serious enough to make hullsh bureau report for the week and the month. New Orleans received but 32 bales new cotton and 79 total. against 1888 last year Cables were steady at points decline for September and unchanged to points higher for other months.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3i:-The cotton market opened hrm point higher on August to l9 points lower under the disappointing cables and heavy realizing Almost immediately, however. the clique came aggressively to the support of values, particularly September. and brought about a recovery of from l to points above last Saturdays finals. On the advance sent irregularly downward until within a few points Of the opening, when they were again rallied vigorously by the clique, who seemed determined to bid September up to level more in accordance with obtaining spot quotations. Around midday the failure of a small broker age firm WAS announced with some buying of September, presumably for their account and for time the market ruled active and ex- cited with prices reaching the best point of the session. September sold at 80. October io.S2, December io.45. January lo.4I. the general list being from to 8 points higher. At this level the realizing became heavier and prices again reacted to about 10. 69 for Sep tenber. Then followed a period of irregularity. but just before the close values again forced up and the market finally firm. net 7427 points higher. Sales were estma ted at 1000. 900 bales. representing one of the most active markets of the season. The lower stock in Liverpo making 1t some [ 3 900 bales heavier than expected. The first private crop estimate of the was also issued, pac- ing the probable crop at 10. 900, 900 bales. This estimate was compiled by former promi- nent bull leader and attracted considerable at tention, being one Of the factors in the open ing weakness. The weather map for the day considered generally favorable, though temperatures fin some sections were rather low and led to apprehensions regarding the weekly report tomorrow. which may have had some in ff1uence in promoting coverings.

Fl. & P. Beers Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 3I.-Liverpool ad- vices were not encouraging on the whole before our market opened l point lower and subse- quently declined 3d5 additional on realizing Later in the session report of rains and colder weather in the various sections of the State and failure of New York cotton firm brought a buying wave which caused an advance of | 5 G24 points from the bottom. Longs taking profits near the close superinduced recession of 267 from ths top, making the net gain 6 points September. l2 on October and about g on the other months. During the past twen- ty-four hours scattered showers occurred throughout the belt It is predicted that scat tered showers will probably take place over Texas and Louisiana tonight and Tuesday The New Orleans Times Democrat in its issue today, referring to the cotton crop says that August con lition has not shown much im- provernent as expected. These seems. however t. be an improvement generally in the condi- tion of most of the States except Texas which has deterorated considerably by the rains and the boil weevils and boil worms. The trade consequently look for a more unfavorable monthly bureau report on Sept 3rd now than they did some days back. In addition to this the weekly weather report to be issued tomor- row Is also expected to be bullish. The con- tinuance of light receipts and the absence of selling only accentuates the very optimistic feeling prevalent. Under the circumstances we still advocate the purchase of late months on all decided breaks with view of realizing on strong periods.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 3I.-The day was a repe tition of Saturday. Mir. Brown came into the pit early in the day and boosted September as far he wanted and as he left MT Sully came in and took turn at October and then just before noon the New Orleans operator injected a little more steam into the market by bidding for 900 and 10000 of September. boosting the price to u 62. All this while December and January were comparatively neglected but, of course. the few shorts there could not stand the strain and when September vanced. Trading was not active but came in waves The only time the market was active was when the traders mentioned above were busy. As soon they stopped buying every thing quieted down and became dull Ii seems hardly possible that conditions are going to be the same month from now as now Two men stand in the pit and buy and buy cotton. tanning up quota tions 2. B. 5 and 10 points at a time simply because there IS no cotton left over. Now it is beyond the range of human probabilities that the market Is going to be the same affair when the producer is trying to sell what is promised to be the largest crop ever had. New crops are now being put up because September is advanced and September is advanced be- cause there is no cotton to deliver outside of New York While sll this is going on the market is being inflated in a very dangerous fashion though nothing will change the pres ent condition until can get big port re- ceipts; in the meantime can hardly advise in trading in the New York future market.

zEBRULAs TO REPLACE MULES
Cross Betwlen Horse and zebr'
 Proves to Be Superior Animal.

Cross Betw@en Horse and Zebra
 Proves to Be Superior Animal. New York Times.
 German papers say the mule will prop ably be replaced in the twentieth century by a more efficient animal. as 1t has been demonstrated that the mule, the cross be- tween horse and donkey. is inferior to the cross between horse and zebra, says Consul General Richard Guenther, in report to the State Department rom Frankfort.
 Formerly the opinion prevailed that the zebra was almost extinct. The opening up of Africa, particularly the eastern part reveals these fine animals in large num- bers.
 Compared with horses and cattle. they possess peculiar advantages. as they are immune against the very dangerous horse disease of Africa and also against the deathly "tsetse2 fly. The question was therefore raised whether the zebra could not take the place of the mule commonly used in the tropics. The greatest cSSdit with reference to the solution of this problem is due to Professor Cossar Ewart. who has been trying since 1895 to produce crosses between horses and zebra, with a view to developing an animal superior in every respect to the mule.
 Three species of zebras still exist in AIf1Ca. ne SO-cdlleu 1TeNy IcUId, the high plateaus of Schoa; the common or mountain zebra formerly found every where in South Africa, and the "Burchell'' zebra. still frequently found.
 Professor Ewart produces crosses from mares of different breeds and zebra stall lions of the Burchell kind. The offspring is called Zebrula. and on account of its form and general bodily condition-espe- cially the hardness of the hoofs-is espe- cially adapted for all transport work here tofore performed by mules. The zebrula is much livelier than the mule and at least as intelligent.
 The Indian government has already ex perimented with zebrulas for transporting mountain artillery at Quetta.
 In Germany much interest in this 9ni- maj is manifested. The we'll known Ha- genbeck is experimenting in this direction and intends to introduce the zebrula into Germany and America. The geological garden at Berlin possesses some very fine specimens. The zebra stripes are often well preserved. while the undertone of the skin is generally that of the mother. A full grown zebrula is IA hands high and the girdie circumference about 160 centi- meters (63 inches).
 The experiments so far have been so successful that it is predicted that the ze- brula during the present century will com pletely supersede the mule
