5oo, ,ooo NEGROES TO GO NORTH.
Migration Carried on in Secret by a Society That Has Money
 to Snare


 Troy (N. Y.) Special to N Y World.
 Through an organized movement by the Rev. J. Henry Duckrey of Cambridge, Mass, 50O000 negroes will have emigrated from the South to points between this city Boston and Providence within three years. The work of arranging for the migration has been carried on secretly by the Northeastern and Western Immigra- ton Society, of which MT. Duckrey is the President. The organization has unlimt- ed money at its command. subscribed by wealthy men and women who believe that this scheme is the safe and sure solution of the negro problem.
 The negroes will be distributed along the line of the Boston and Maine Rail- road. Many of the coming negroes are skilled laborers and some are women but all are seeking employment The colored men say thaey are willing to join the labor unions. but if the unions do not want them, they will come just the same. MT. Duckrey is In close touch with persons in Troy. Albany and Eastern cities, and says that from the encourage ment given him he believes he can get lO,- 900 persons out of the South by Noyem- Der l.
 A manufacturer of paper boxes at Cam bridge, Mass. has agreed to employ 100 of the colored women and arrangements are now being perfected whereby several tnousdhu coloTeu persons or both sexes will find work. A large number will re- main in Northern cities, while some will be sent to the farming districts. Many persons believe that the coming of so many negroes to this section will fill the poor houses and cause wild descents to be made upon tBe charity organizations. Many others believe that the workingmen here today will be cut out of employ ment. On the other hand, the members of the emigration society assert that they are perfectly able to take care of every colored man and woman coming here, and each will be provided with employment MT Duckrey has letters from business men who offer to furnish employment to the eolored people immediatelv.

 NEW YORK. Aug. ts.-Prices moved about N3miessly and h an uninteresting fashion to- day. Operators who sold shortly before the close last night on the report that many thou sand bales had been picked and einned in one of the Southern counties of Texas, failed to follow up their aggressiveness this morning and seemed more inclined to take in short cotton on any decline than to sell. As a result of She covering the market failed to decline very much and when it was reported sales of spot cotton in Liverpool amounted to 5000 bales, an advance of several points took place in the Immediate positions. New England bought September from io.72 to lo.82 and therc was ennogh cotton wanted and quietly absorbed by spinners to hold prices. On the other hand crop accounts continued early in the season for the average operator to assume definite stani on the market and not until the cotton crop is moderately well assured will selling be in sufficient volume and strength to cause break. Any decline at this season, in view of the condition surrounding cotton industry. must be a point at time and there will be oppo- sition to any attempt to break December and < January for some weeks to come. Under the circumstances we see nothing in the outlook to chaneg views of the cotton market 1t is altogether too risky to sell cotton short and on the other hand prices are very high and we have growing what is likely to prove the best crop the outh has ever raised. For these reasons the policy of buying on declines only and selling on any rallies likely to prove che most advantageous to customers.

NEW YORK, Aug. i3.-The cotton market Gppned steady at unchanged prices to a de- eIns of 2 points on ali except the March op- Sions which was point up. The declines were n sympathy with lower Liverpool cables
 which encouraged realizing and perhaps some euzeH sales for short account. but there was very little business of an description and shortly after the start moderate support from fHe clique fmparted firmer tone to the mar knt, while sellers were rendered cautious by renewed apprehensions to the tropical storm which was again reported to be headed 1cward the Gulf States. August was bid up to 32.44 and September, after some irregularity, 1nuched io.63 with the general list at the best prices of the forenoon, showing net gains of " f814 points After this, however, clique sup poxx was partially withdrawn and the gen. ar1l1g favorable character of private crop ad- vlces. together with the favorable showing of the weather map encouraged q sagging ten denGy which lasted during the balance of the session. or nearly so, for just before the close there was a sudden renewal of the demand for September and that option was finally points np from the bottom. The rest of the list closed Ak practically the low point with August showing the greatest loss The close was steady, net unchanged to i5 points lower
 Early there was some talk of low temperatures fin the belt delaying maturity and this had sune influence in restricting sales. A little Mew crop cotton was reported from various Southern points. but had little influence. To- taa sales estimated at 10000 bales.

 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. ls.-various and sun dry reports calculated to gladden. the heart of members of either persuasion wherein evil dence today. glowing crop accounts versus war cloud. excessive rains and damage by worms, but prices refused to move to any extent in either direction and the close registers changes not worthy of mention. There is no evidence of buying power. the country remaining idle. Sellers are very cautious and there is little tncination to go short. The easy manner fin which the market recovers after any depres- nion lends color to the belief that below eh for the Winter months cotton has friends. It ss well, however, to bear in mind that with continuation of the present conditions the next monthly bureau report will prove a pow erful weapon ready to the bears hand. Vari- ous South Texas points report about 10 new bales received today versus about 900 last year. and some inquiry Is being made for tabor 10 use in picking. Available stock at Liver pool continues to dwindle with unimportant price changes. Indications are that the Eng fish market will in a short time exert a stim- ulating effect to values this side and to a certain extent offset bearish influence. Conditions as a whole would tend to tempo rariiy lower figures. but prices refuse to go down. fact that is surprising considering the lack of outside support

 NEW YORK, Aug. i3.-Eariy prices, as rule. were 2@4 points lower. The market was extremely dull. Cables were rather easier. The weather was fine as a rule, especially in Texas, where tempratures were very high. and just as needed to help the crop No rain of consequence outside of Jacksonville. No little concern was felt about the tropical storm. Bulls were calculating on its striking the Gulf and extending to Louisiana Texas. The market is very sensitive more so than for some time. The new bales are appearing very slowly and until they are more numerous, mo- body cares to sell. except in a small way. The clique apparently propose to hold on at least they show no signs of receding as yet. Sew erai new bales were reported at two points in Texas Cables were steady at unchanged to 2 net advance. Yarns move slowly at Man. chester and cloths there are at low limits for orders. Rain was the forecast for the Att lantic and Gulf States Trading here was very slow most of the day. Buyers well as sellers sell than to buy. Thirty-six hundred bales reached here from Europe.

 By Prfvnta Wfre.l

NEW YORK. Aug. i3.--There was a steady opening to the market for cotton futures today
 the first prices being at an advance of point to decline of points The Liverpool ca bles were a little disappointing and brought out some long stun with the result that some options were pressed for sale. The private cables were to the effect that the reaction in the English market was due to favorable crop reports from this side. Locally the selling was restricted by rather low temperatures in some sections of the belt. the point being made that the tateness of the crop was being increased here and there. There was some light bull support on all little declines. and this buying encouraged the belief that the bull element was still disposed to work for higher range of prices. Shorts rather nervous and quite lot of the buying during the day was traceable to bear crowd The longs in the market were inclined to take profits however
 and the better levels there some in- crease in the offerings. There was a continu- anoe of moderate receipts For the week the estimate was cut down some 800 bales to L. 200 At Houston today there not a single bale, while at New Orleans there were S253 bales The spot markets were steady. There was only moderate demand but the indica- tons pointed to a fair cloth trade for the fu- ture at well maintained prices. The late mar ket was rather quiet, with the pit element largely in control of affairs marketwise.

 The future market was quiet at the opening and prices were i@4 points lower than yester- days closing caused by free selling from the interior. Favorable cables and an unfavorable weather map and the ravages of boil weevil and Nther insects were bulish features too strong to be overlooked by professionals. who were the first to recognize their value. Strong room buying sent prices well above the opening figures. Conditions. however, were soon changed by scalpins operations, which left prices at the close net 2Qe points below yes- terday's closing level

this In conjunction with the favorable crop outlook lack of demand for spots and littis rho outside speculation have all had a fen- dency to quit those holding extreme optimistic views. That sentiment. however. is very buii- ish. must be acduowledeed and it Is also q well recognized fact that any favorable feature will easily enhance values. Such being the case. we see no reason to change our views of suggesting purchases of the late months on all decided declines with the object of taking profits on the buiges.

Naval Stores. TgneciaI ko The Advarfieer |

SAVANNAH. Aug. NI3.-For the past few days the naval stores markets have been more active than fer months past and the demand has been of a more urgent nature for the time being than it has recently Exporters appear to be more than willing to take the of ferings, and at times there has been a scramb- ling for turpentine which has effected the mar ket very favorably.
 Turpentine is now 5lc will be at tomor- rows meeting of the Board of Trade, for after today's closing sales were made which will when reported, cause the market to be quoted up. singular incident in connection with the market is the fact that there has been an en- tire absence of manipulation. and the advance has been the direct cause of the laws of SUD- ply and demand. The fact that there is more competition in this market of late accounts largely for the rise, there is sharp bidding for stuff not previously existing. Since buy CTS are forced into the market against each other there Is a better chance of Improvement than when working agreement exists among them, such Is alleged to have been the case for a while here.
 Another explanation of the sharp rise in tur- pentine Is the fact that factors have for the past few days been applying their receipts quite freely upon their August contracts and to that extent withdrawing stun from the open mafket. thereby reducing the available supply from day to day. While this has satisfied the it the more urgent in others.
 Roslns have also tended upward and fre- quently after the closing have sold at ma terial advances. High grades are fin particu- larly good demand and go quickly once they placed upon the tables. On the whole the market is in very satisfactory condition from the standpoint of the operator.
