The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, November 2S-Spot cotton in active demand at full board prices; holders are supplying the demand freely. They evidently consider Il Is a satisfac- tory price for middling. Sales 6350 bales, including 3300 to arrive. In response to the improvement in Liverpool and New York the cotton exchange committee ad- vanced prices 1-Sc.
 In the future market today bullish sentiment controlled the trading; news from both Liverpool and New York was of the most bulish character and encour- aged longs to increase their buying ord CTS in anticipation of a further advance. At the opening prices were 10 points higher than yesterdays finals. Private pool market had received a large amount Of stock orders from frightened Amer ican shorts, and also that spinners were calling for November deliveries in con sequence of fear of a corner in the Mo- vember- December position.
 The English market seems 10 have be- come converted to the long side, for in spite of the improvement that has been seen for two days, both spots and fu- lures showed moderately wide advances again. The local market closed firm with prices only a point or two lower than the highest level of the day, the net gains being i3 to r points.

ROOM TRADERS DO ALL THE BUSINESS Another Dull Day in New York
 Stock Market OPERATIONS ARE SMALL Minor Individuals Are Relieved From the Severe Pressure to Which They
 Have Been Recently Sub
 Iected-Bonds Quiet.

New York. November 2S.--There was nothing representative of influential fin- ancial sentiment in today's dull stock market, the dealings being confined to small operations by room traders. The minor industrials were relieved from the severe pressure to which they have been recently subjected and were inclined to re- bound, gains of point or upwards being the result In a number of cases. The general list failed to respond to this fnfu- ence and there was disposition to sell following the appearance of the bank statement which was favorable. This movement was trivial as were the others and the market closed firm at recovery and not far from last nights level in any case.
 The gain in cash by the banks was only tbout half of what was estimated, but the iecline in deposit liabilities was affected ,y the loan contraction of s6,39460O. The .esulting decrease of s1, 445,350 in the re- ,erve requirement helped out the surplus 10 that extent, bringing the increase in that item to s2.2S,S5O, establishing the ex- cess over the legal reserve at s6, 125,200
 
 aitional gold was received by today's irl- coming steamships and reports from Lon ion indicate a prospect that part of s8.- 100000 to arrive there next week will be engaged in New York. The weekly bank cearings indicate that the shrinkage from last years level Is still confined to the four large speculative centers in the east, while the three larger cities in the west and south, and the other cities of the whole country, show clearings in ex- cess of last year The tone of the weekly reports of the mercantile agencies was considered encouraging as to the agricul- tural districts and the mercantile and dis- tributive lines, although the industrial branches are in mood Of discourage ment
 The comparative firmness of the United States Steel securities during the re- newed scaling down of values in other quarters goes to show that an adjustment of the whole list to the basis fixed in that premier security as standard. has been fin some parts intended. In the general market the movement has been sort of marking time in waiting for the fall mon- ey conditions to work themselves out. Further gold has started from London, but on a limited scale and the Bank of England has used the customary means to protect the London stock of gold. Lib erai supplies of exchange have come into the New York market. and 1t IS commonly believed that part of the absorption for so-called investment account is prepara- ton for the future need in connection with the Panama canal payment.
 Bonds have been dull and rather ire eular in harmony with the tishtness of the money. United States new Is declin- ed A, and the 2s and S's and old fs # per cent below the closing bid of last week.

Handsome New ParlOrS.
CAN BOWL

Tonight Theodore Bloodgood will
open his bowling alleys to the public.
Every effort has been made to have
the opening one long to be remember
ed in sporting circles here and it is
evident the bowlers will be delighted
with the new place.
Mr.. Bloodgood has spared no pains
or expense in fitting out his establish
ment. The alleys are of the best and
look handsome A feature will be ladies
and men bowling in the afternoon.
This is something the public here
have been demanding and heretofore
there has been no suitable place for
women to go and enjoy the sport.
Mr.. Bloodgood has an admirable
arrangement and his effort on the part
of the ladies will be greatly appre-
ciated.
Mr.. Bloodgood has not yet an
nounced any definite arrangement for
contests and club headquarters, but it
is expected that when the bowling
season opens the Bloodgood alleys
will be among the most active in the

Judge Shaw visited the courthouse,

to look like a mistrial. The judge,
however, has decided to keep the jury
together until all hopes of a verdict are
given up, and 1t is probable that he
will keep them together all of this

RACES TO SELECT DEFENDER.
America Cup Yachts VIII Sail Six
Trial Spins.


NEWPORT, r. l., June 29.-For the
first time since the rival cup yachts
Reliance, Constitution and Columbia
began the seasons racing they were all
at their moorings in NewpVt harbor,
fully prepared for a continuation of
their interesting contests in the six
eaces which have been arranged eff
this port on every day this week by
the New York Yacht club
While the days winner in each will
probably receive some emblem from
the club, the races have been planned
more as test of the yachts in the
open sea and in the strong winds which
usually prevail at this point on the
coast The contests will also have
some bearing with the Americas cup
committee in the selection of defend
er of the cup against Shamrock Ill,
although what are known as the official
trial races will not take place until the
last of neXtmonth.
Up to the present time the three
yachts have sailed eight finished races,
and in each one the latest aspirant for
cup defending honors, Reliance, has
finished in the lead, although owing to
secrecy regarding the actual measure
melts of the two boats, there is some
question whether or not Constitution
did not win two of them because of
her smaller sail area, as in each case
she was scarcely two minutes behind
the Reliance at the line.

CROWDS AT
THE RESORTS.
Sea Breeze, BOyutOn Beach and
Pulaski Park Reap Benefit from
Sunshine on Saturday.
LARGE EXCURSIONS.

The first real sunshine for several
weeks 4 smiled upon this section OF
New Jersey Saturday and the people
were not slow in taking advantage OF
it. The largest crowds for several
weeks thronged the resorts in this
vicinity, all glad of an opportunity to
get out of doors.
Al. Boynton Beach the place was
crowded. !. The steamer H. O. Ellis,
which was put into commission be-
tween the resort and South Amboy,
Tottenville and this city for the first
time, proved great success and was
quite an attraction in itself.
The barge "John Spears" brought
an excursion of several hundred chill
dren and adults to the beach Satur-
day. 1t was under the auspices OF
the Bergen Reformed church, of Jer-
sey City. The smaller children were
under the care of teachers, while the
older ones enjoyed the various amuse-
ments at the resort. A baseball game
between two teams of boys attracted
q good sized crowd and company OF
cadets from the church attended in a
body. Saturday, being warm, was
quite suitable for bathing, and many
enjoyed the swimming during the
early part of the day. At the lunch
hour the excursionists camped out at
the long tables in the rear of the
buildings.
The barge was scheduled to start on
the return trip at $3.50, but, although
the little ones were marshalled into
line at 8 O'Clock, it!was fully an hour
later before the boatload pulled out
from the pier.
One of the largest excursions that
has ever been at Sea Breeze came to
that place Saturday afternoon. A
steamer and three barges brought at
least 5000 children from Hoboken.
They were on one of the annual free
air outings and they certainly seemed
to enjoy it. During their stay the
point was very breezy in every sense
of tH word. The swings ana merry
go-I dS&,re kept busy and the little
opf Enjoyed the fine sandy beach.
At Pulaski Park the usual Saturday
night dance was very popular. The
floor was crowded all the time. The
park is handy and the people delight
to drop in there for their amusement.

A general strike of all the freight
handlers employed by the railroads
centering in Chicago may follow the
calling out of the Chicago and Alton
men. According to Mr.. Ourran, presi-
dent of the Freight Handlers Union,
unless the management of the Alton
road recedes from the stand taken, it
will be necessary to extend the strike
to the other lines to enforce the un-
ion s demand.
Freight handlers employed by the
Alton road quit work yesterday be-
cause two union men had been dis
charged There is no question of
wages in the controversy. as less than
a month ago all the roads signed a
new scale granting the freight hand
lers substantial increase.
