 V NEW ORLEANS. July 27.-Early Liverpool lwithstanding this our market opened 10 points lower on July, 20 on August and 2m3 down on the new crop months. Fresh buying short ly after occasionei an improvement of 3@4 points from the bottom. Later in the season official advices of general rains in Texas and the section west If the Mississippi River caused a break Of 20 points from the top on July IS on August. 24 on September and 96o on the other months Reports of several more dency to superinduce uneasiness. The net loss on July 30 points, August 35. Septem- Der 24 and the other positions declined. Many expect an unfaovrable weekly weather report tomorrow. While their anticpations may be realized the weather certainly has been ideal for the growth of the plant and it ought. on this to be favorable. The recent rains in Texas and the other States west of the Mississippi make the crop outlook generally good. Man chester cables say that the general condition of the cloth market has grown worse during of the paucity of practicable inquiry. The turnover small the gradual hardening of cotton checking the previous indications of the approach of buyers and sellers. These same conditions prevail on the continent in America. Therefore. with the spinners of the world re- stricting their consumption to a minimum basis and the trade buying goods and spots spar ingly there is no incentive to follow an ad- vance especially financial affairs in America are very unsettled. Summing up the situation, while the undertone seems steady and senti- ment is bulish still outsiders are apathetic for the moment Under the circumstances, we believe 1t best to be conservative and would suggest buying late months only on decided breaks with a view of realizing on rallies

 NEW YORK. July 27.-Cotton opened a trihe better for the new crop, while the old crop months eased of couple of points. The market was dull in the early session Cables opened we'll but later weakened. this caus- ing local hesitation. The weather was too dry in the Southwest Texas had pretty heavy rains. but mostly along the coast, and those in the interior not far up north. High temperatures on Sunday also were reported. Altogether the weather and crop views ndi- cated no marked change from Saturday and the expectation is that the weekly bureau report tomorrow may show that the high tempera- lures have been against the crop. At all events 1t may have checked the improving tendency shown in many sections of late. The new crop is being well supported and will continue to until receipts of new cotton are so free to. indicate movement of impor- tance during the Fall months. Wall Street demoralized after the opening and cotton in consequence weakened considerably, espe- cialy September. There was not much doing. Reports came in later of temperatures as high as 10 in Texas on Sunday and this steaded the mlrket some. Cables were easy at 6Q9 points lower; Manchester quiet

 NEW YORK July 27.-There was a firm opening to the cotton future market today. the first level of prices being unchanged to an advance of points Shorts were eager to get under cover and the buying from this source attracted considerable attention. There was considerable profit taking on the better prices and under the circumstances options sub sequently displayed a somewhat easier ten dency. There was also some liquidation based on the belief that the weekly Government re- port will be favorable The August delivery was the most active of the Summer months. one sale being points over the closing of last Saturday. The trade the whole was rather quiet and largely subject to the dictatons of certain professional interests. The huctua- tions as the day wore on were rather narrow, but with all there was a steady undertone. The movement Of cotton was moderate. The in- terior movement was light, and the indications pointed to bullish statistics for the week next Friday The weather reports were a little conflicting and there was some mixture Oi opinion with regard to the exact status of the crop.

- NEW ORLEANS. July 27.-Liverpool in its course today was weak and steady by turns. losing at one time some 6@7 points on the near with slight variations on the distant months. Spots unchanged with sales of 5000 bales. The financial trouble and fear of fail- ures in Wall Street was the dominating fea- ture in the American markets and many short sales executed on that basis in consequence the opening. It was rumored during the early morning that Bush & Co.'S Brooklyn cotton warehouse was fire, which later con- frmed. and 2. 800 bales of cotton said to have been destroyed. The New York Journal of Commerce fin it's crop report notes general im- provement: the plant, however is in many sections small and generally two to three weeks late: some complaint of moisture needed Private reports as a rule indicate that the inn provement has been quite general during the past week, which tomorrow's weekly weather report is expected to reflect. Numerous reports were received advising rain in Texas and by many claimed to fully answer the requirements of last weeks bureau statement that "Inois- ture was beginning to be needed" However. it is we'll to bear in mind that cooler temper atures and rains are beneficial to the ire pressible boil weevil; the next crop, according to entomologists is very nearly due. There Is no doubt that an easier tendency prevails and at the moment 1t would appear that values are seeking a lower level yet in view of the depleted stocks and the imperative need of a large crop we are inclined to believe the short side possesses the greatest possibilities for danger and suggest purchases on material decline and sales at strong period.

With continued dis, couraging threshng returns coming in ana with outside markets showing good gains, the market here quickly responded to the buliisn news. On the advance local bulls took advan- take to secure profits which resulted in slight declines at various stages of the session put inc market always rallied to increased buying. The strength in corn was one of the chief bull factors One Of the slumps September sold of to 779s, but late in the day had r1sen U 10 7sA and closed at 7sH. gain of lalh. Ciearances equaied l25,eoo bushels The amount on passage decreased 650'OOo pusheis. while the visible supply showed decrease or 700 bushels against l,55o, 239 a year ago. Receipts, 69 cars, 27 contract Minneapolis and Duluth reported lS7 cars, total TOT the three points of 276, against 3o5 last week and SAY a year ago.
 Trading in corn opened with a rush and com mission houses were literally swamped with buying orders from the outside, which resulted in a wide range of prices at the start, sep tember selling between 52h and o2B, a gam  of h@h to AG% from Saturdays close After still further advances had been made the market reacted on general profit taking, sev- eral large commission houses being active sel- lers. Unfavorablo crop advices continued 10 come in end although trading was not as ac tive as early in the day the market regained It's early strength and ruled higher the greater mart of the session.

September closed MaM higher at 33h934. Receipts, 2os cars
 Provisions were weak with further unload ing of ribs by a prominent packer. This fea, ture, coupled with the local hog receipts ana a decline at the yards caused bearish senti- roent throughout the day. The close was at the bottom with pork 30 lower at Sl g. 5o; sep tember lard 2oc lower at S7oo, and rlps OH 25c at S7.7547.77la.

The primary receipts also were heavy, encouraging sales for short account. but the steadiness of the market at Santos restricted the downward tendency.

 NEW YORK, July 27.-Hot weather in Tex
 as disturbed cotton today. At two or three
 ment became pessimistic There was nothing
 alarming in the situation, but conditions were
 such as to bring in more or less buying as a
 result the market failed to- decline We can
 not but feel this is likely to be the case right along now. The crop has reached the sea-
 son now when further improvement can hard ly be expteeted and the natural progress of events is towards deterioration. The supplies of cotton are so small and the needs of the spinning world so great that we fail to see just how unsatisfactory crop advices can be met with anything but buying in such quanti- ties as to put up the market. Now, If this Is to continue and extend over wider area. why the advance will be a great deal more than 10 points. More hopeful spirit prevails in Wall Street. We see nothing in the cotton situation to change ideas of outlook. namely. that purchases made on declines will show a profit

came imperative in heing indefinite

sidera.ion. In its postponement, the
House took the more precautionary
stand, and wise one, toe; for to
open the doore for its passage would
be the first wedge for ths reopenink
over 600 claimant 3, all OF whom may
find cause for being aggrleved as Mr.

presented, followed by resolution
later aud the notice to introduce a
bill, all offered by Mr. Lswis, also
from Hilo. Yet We do not attach
sny blame toward the member, as
he did nothing more than his duty
towards one OF his many constitu-
ents, aud which he has done more
than he was expected to. To allow
