 NEW ORLEANS, July 2o.-As Liverpooi ad- vices were not encouraging our market opened 43 points lower, but subsequently fresh buy Ing and shorts covering occasoned an ad- vance of 5d6 points from the bottom. Later m the session realizing on the continuance of favorable weather throughout the belt caused recession of 4d5 points to the top The old crop months are practically nominal as there is little or trading in them. still they closed 3d5 points higher. whereas the new were unchanged to points lower. Showers were reported over the eastern portion of the belt and generally fair weather prevails over the western. It is predicted that showers will probably occur over Western Texas and Okla hcma tonight and Tuesday and over Northeast ern Texas, Arkansas and Southern Louisiana Tuesday. Generally fair weather, however is indicated for the Atlantic. The temperature changes will be slight. Manchester cables say that manufacturers and spnners are experience ing trying time. and many loud complaints are made regarding the unprofltable state of affairs. Transactions were made for both early and distant deliveries for Chinese account The attempts. though to negotiate offers from India were generally futile. Similar com and the demand for spots in this country is therefore nominal Judging from the weather the weekly weather report tomorrow ought to De favorable. Notwithstanding all these fea- lures trading is inactive and investors are awaiting future developments before entering into new engagements. The demand for the raw article and weather conditions will con- tinue to regulate values

 By Private Leased Wirel

NEW ORLEANS. July 2o-The easier tenor of the English market at the early trading with deliveries at time lowered some points on the near months and the late options quoted of 2G3. did not act as a disturbing factor on this side at the start as prices al the opening here were unchanged to 2 points better. The large, print sales at Fall River were stimulating feature well as reports from The New York Journal of Commerce quoting from replies from correspondents fin the South and from what they gather would make the next crop below the oRe ROW ending
 adding that while cotton goods trade was enormous and that country seems to have gone reports are numerous. but conflicting, as a whole. but seem to be accepted more fa- vornble by the trade in general and outside business has been very much restricted await ing more definite information in regard to the growing crop Bulls contend, however, that the only depression the cotton market has suf- Tered of late has been through artificial meas ures. so 1t is proof positive that the natural inclination is to advance and that 1t will yet establish itself basis that Is consistent with its scarcity and trade requirements. That many mills are anxious to obtain supplies at present valuation and there will be little trou- hie in finding buyers for cotton that Is for sale not only the trade, but the speculative com munity find many substantial factors in the present surroundings to justify a higher range of prices On the other hand. while crop &C., counts continue favorable, the Winter months will have to withstand the assaults of those bearishly inclined: for the moment business continues light with no especial tendency.

lny kr1vase Wire From C. W. Lee 6 Col
 NEW YORK, July 2o.-There is absolutely nofning to say about this cotton market If really grows rather tiresome to be obliged fo fefterate facts, but the fact 1t is and with traders doing onfysa few hundred bales of cot ton m course of day and the majority sur rounding the stock ticker most of the time
 we Fall to see what there is to chronicle in the way or cotton developments There is a gen. efai feeling that something may be expected. before the first of August. Philadelphia peo- Rle still own quite lot of cotton in New xork to deliver on July contract. It is re- ported that New Orleans interests are nurs- Ing the fond defusion that this cotton is not as extensive as the commitments in futures n other words. that the large export house in rhe country has obligations to deliver cotton and has not sufficient quantity of cotton to meet such obligations. But cotton Is now be- ing brought from Liverpool. is being carried from every part of the country to this market and the New Orleans market and with mills shutting down every day. do not regard the position of the pool being impregnable. It is one thing to unload 100. 900 or 200 900 contracts on the market and another to try and nnd buyers for that much actual stun when you have a corner in raw material It Is some times impossible to find q market at any price, Weather continued good and crop news satis- factory. There was nothing this score to bring in buyers and for two hours this morn ing December cotton ranged within a 4-pofnt limit In fact, e.52 recorded at about to. 30 and there had not been a single change in this price at I.30 There is not getting around the fact that for the moment the cot- ton market Is dull. stale and improbable.

WILL USE THE BLOCKS.
West Sixth Avenue Pavement to Be
Fixed as Specified.

Judgment in favor. of the plaintiffs in
the West Sixth avenue injunction suit
will be entered by Judge Hazen and the
injunction against using macadam as
pavement for the West Sixth avenue car
tracks will be made permanent
Instead of using macadam the street car
company Will follow the strict letter of
the franchise and repaNe the right of way
with the old material, which is cedar
blocks.
This is the result of the conference be-
tween the attorneys representing both
sides, which was held Wednesday after
noon. 1t is very ques tionabie whether the
West Sixth avenue people have really
come out ahead in the fight. though they
have accomplished one thing: they stop
ped the filing UP of the track with boul-
ders and loose dirt as was being done.
The cedar block pavement which will be
replaced viii no doubt be shabby lot of
stuff 1t can't be otherwise without the
purchase and use of new material, and
of course the street car company cant
he expected TO do that.
The street car company will at once be-
gin to remove the crushed and uncrush-
ed stone with which the right of way has
been filed. and Will proceed to put back
the cedar blocks.

IRON Is DEPRESSED
Owing to Decline in Value of Indus
trial Stocks.

New York. Oct. 1.-Recent heavy de-
clines in the value of railroad and in
dustrial stocks has had a depressing
effect on the iron tTadesT according to
the Iron Age. A matter which may
have considerable effect, however, is
the publication to be made this week
OF the specifications for the great tun-
nels in this city to be built by the
Pennsylvania railroad company. 1t is
understood that the vast requirements
Will include over 100000 tons of cast
lngs. Pig iron manufacturers are much
in earnest in their endeaVOr to curtail
production. 1t is hoped to effect a re-
duction of at least 20 per cent. Efforts
are DeinG made to secure the cooper
alton of producers throughout the coun-
try. The excess OF production over con-
sumption is not believed to be very
serious, possibly 10 per cent. and an
effort of this kind continued for a
month would bring about a more
healthy relation of the supply to the
demand. Notices posted at number
OF eastern furnaces that wages will be
reduced 10 Der cent. show that drastic
measures are necessary. Consumers
are carrying very small stocks.
The southern pig iron producers are
till endeavoring to secure a reduction
in the freight rate to northern mar
kets. A meeting of the southern pig
iron committee will be held in this city
on Thursday and the question will
again be taken up.
The demand for finished iron and
steel products shows a little improve
ment and prices in a general way are
well maintained. The opinion prevails
that manufacturers of finished pro-
ducts should not permit themselves to
become unduly apprehensive as to the
future and attempt to secure more bust
ness by making concessions. -,aitis
The general condition of the country
is satisfactory and the demand in many
lines is simply postponed to await de-
velopments. If manufacturers preserve
their equanimity and maintain prices,
it is believed that soon the consumptive
demand will compel an increase in
transactions.

THE POPE RECALLS GUIDl.
Negotiations for Sale of Friar Lands
Terminate Abruptly.

New York, Oct. l. Negotiations in the
Philippine islands between the Vatican
and the United States government re-
garding the sale of.the land held by the
friars and the removal of the native
monks from the islands have been called
off by the pope according to a World
dispatch from Rome.
Monsignor Guidi. the Roman prelate
sent to Manila as apostolic delegate to
conduct the negotiations has been re-
called to Rome. where he is expected to
arrive early in November in order that
he may be assigned to some European
nunciature.
The general opinion in Rome is that
Mgr. Guilds mission has failed princi-
paHy because he would not accept the
price offered for the friars lands by the
American government owing to the
claim of the religious orders interested
that they are entitled to a larger sum.
1t has been decided at the vatican,
that hereafter philippine questions must
be dealt with directly by the pontifical
secretary of state and the government
at Washington, or what is still better,
through a special representative of the
Holy See sent to the United States from
