 NEW YORK. Aug. 2e.-The market this ular since May. starting with reports of dam that were highly coiored by. those whose i'm terests would be furthered by general &C., three large operators. the short interest be- came somewhat nervous and when covering matter to force the market % up 70 or 50 points points Prices regained the high level touched during a, the early part & of the growing season soo ond ond bales On the advance a large portion of the short interest was eliminated and during the the enormous buying of September and octo- England spinning interests in this market last spring. there were evidences that selling cline as large blocks of cotton came on the market and holders who bought below 10 cents a t were inclined r to Se fTeey ,h september mentioned above, this operator taking as much as 2s.ooo bales in 2 single day. At the same time operations by the New Orleans pool con- tinued on large scale. and smaller traders saw little upon which to base ideas that of the fluctuations seemed to be due more to professional transactions than to buying to itaelf Further sales of spot cotton in New York have been reported during the stock of certihcatec cotton is still in excess of i4o. 900 bales. and spinners seem more disposed to wait fer the coming Of the new crop than se 2 pay ane pT,ce askea Dy tnose engineering si M
 
 from domestic spinning circles show no gem cral change in the cotton situation and man ufacturers continue to curtail their consump- tion, though this is likely to prove a bene- hcial factor later on. Interests in the doing of the New Orleans pool has not abated, and the large supply of cotton still in their hands leads to an exceedingly uncertain outcome of the corner. In the event of manipulation be- fore extended to September and October, the situation will be of a precarious nature as far as the short interest is concerned, and this feature has a restraining influence upon operators.
 The simple fact of the matter is that with out new cotton manipulators can force prices up or down as they see it. While 1t may be impossible in the nature of the case to carry on any advance above a certain figure, there is not likely to ne very much operation to eff forts in this direction until actual cotton is Forthcoming from the South. Fort receipts this week less than 5000 bales, com pared with GO, 900 last year, and as long as this situation exists, fluctuations in the mar ket can hardly depfnd upon the actual value of cotton. Goevrnment reports coming out next Thursday should indicate a much better condition of the crop than at any time dur ing the last three seasons, and in view of enor- mous acreage, there is every reason to look 4 for the largest crop on record. But pros 4 poets hardly take the place of actual cotton and conservative traders still waiting for i the beginning of the movement before under taking obligations in the future market. We are not fayoraby disposed toward this mar ket at this level.

Virgin & Faunce's Cotton Letter.
 rBy Private wire.l

NEW YORK. Aug. 2e.-Cotton futures in the local market to-day opened firm in tone with first prices at an advance of to 6 points. This betterment was the result of relatively better cables from the English mar ket than had been looked for. Shorts covered on a liberal scale. while there were evidences or fresh support from the bull elements. Such business seemed to center in thei near options, and the September deiievry attracted consid- erable attention However, the better levels. there was a fair degree of selling for the account of the smaller longs. who were inclined to take profits. and these offerings resulted in small recession. The weather map was considered more faovrable, and the crop accounts through private sources were more favorable. and naturally bull sentiment was held in check. The general trade became less active as the day wore on, and irregu- larity developed in some portions of the list. Still there was rather firm undertone, and bull interests continued to express confidence in their position on account of the bullish sta- tistics for the week. For the day the port receipts amounted to 400. against i5 355 last year. There was a moderate demand for spot cotton, though the offerings were light Prices were well maintained, however and ficting.

A slight loss tor the market is generally loked for, and some southern firms are looking for quite a big loss It is also contended that the weevil damage durin gthe next month will be quite serious. and for this reason some people who want to take the short side fear to do so.

Prices moved up 10 to l5 points during the morning The South was buying and Manchester reports in- dicated some improvement: The clique were doing evry little.

r1ODERN REPORTING

Twenty years ago the typewriter had
not come into use the talking machine
had not been perfected. The legislature
or court reporter OF those days. after TAX
ing his notes, dictated TO stenographlc
amanuenses, who wrote out their copy in
longhand
The senate and house OF representa-
tives official stenoerepher had several as
sistant stenographers, between whom he
divided the dlctation Of his turns, taken
upon the floor OF Congress Even with a
number of assistants It was hard grind
all day, and often far into the night, to
get the copy 10 the government printing
office in time for the Congressional Rec
ord printed in the morning
The older reporters on the present floor
can recall many occasions In the days
gone by when the rays OF the rising sun
nave shone on the white dome OF the
big building on the hill and lit up the
silent seats OF the public lawmakers be-
fore they had sent their last copy to the
printer ana gone for the day-the day be-
fore TO be accurate.
The Invention Of the typewriter and
talking machine has changed this condl-
ton Of affairs What Is the method Of
reporting debate In Congress today2 In
the house Of representatives the iive on
cial stenographers divide the note taking
betweer then, each recording at one time
what VIII make a column In the Congress
a0nal Record. When a man has taken
his turn" he desoends TO the basement
OF the building and talks the turn" into

II the speech is well delivered and re-
quires little or no editing, II Is often die
tated I'm less time than was consumed
In delivering H. The stenographer then
goes up TO the floor 20 be ready when Il
Is up 70 him again. Another machine
talks the turn which has been dictated
to the typewriter by means Of the ordn-
airy ear tubes through which most Of us
have listened to one Of Sousa's marches
or other musical selections. As soon as
one cylinder Is dictated II is transferred
from the debating machine TO the amanu.
ensis' machine. by the time the sIenog-
rapher comes down from the floor with
his second turn he finds the first turn"
In typewrtlng and ready for revision, II
revision Is required.
And so the wheel goes round on busy
day the reporter often getting seven or
eight turns" or as many columns Of the
Record. With present methods on the
busiest day the copy Is ground out in the
rooms below as fast as our legislators I'm
the chamber above talk Il. and in a short
time after the speakers gaYel falls and
the house adiourns the last page Of copy
Is read over by the stenographer and the
office is closed for The day something
that did not happen until hours afterward
under the old system even with double
the present force.-Washington Times
