OF this description the market did a lit
tie better but soon turned easier again
and was forced down to q point or two
under the finals of yesterday. Around
this level it ruled quiet and irregular for
a time, then around midday was rallied
by bull traders, who did not care appar
emily to stay short of the market over
the three holidays in view of the low
temperatures in the Northwest and fears
that they might work downward into the
belt. This buying carried the market 10
the best level of the session or net Z
points higher on September to 3 points
lever on March. Later in the day, how
ever, the selling became very heavy. Liv-
erpool houses were heavy sellers, the
continent sold and the South sent or
ders on the short side while large COM
mission houses were also heavy sellers.
The market was in fact in almost a
panicky condition and closed barely
steady within a point or two Of the bot
tom with prices net 13 to 10 points low
or. Sales were 100000 bales. The sell
ing was of course directly traceabie TO
the effect on general sentiment of yes
terday's bureau report and the selling
was simply a renewal of the movement
rcted yesterday. This selling today was
encouraged by the larger receipts and
aside from the low temperatures the
weather was very favorable Il could be
seen that the recognized bull operators
were selling at no time during the SEES
sion though rumors are circulating to
that effect and it is also assorted in some
quarters that the New Orleans contin-
gent is practically out of the market.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 4.-Today's stock
market was again excessively duh but
distinctly strong. The three days which
VIII intervene before trading will be re
sumed prompted the closing up of specu-
iatiVe accounts and the fact that tomor-
rev Is also holiday in London empha-
sized tins disposition. 1t is evident that
the majority OF outstanding accounts was
on the short side. There was no other
obvious reason for the strength of the
market as the bulls were as unwilling
to put out fresh commitments on the
eve OF the long holiday as were the bears.

New York, Sept. 4.-The September re
port on the condition Of cotton has, OF
course, beea the event of the past week.
Contrary to all expectations the Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture issued figures that
were higher than the ones of the previous
month, and the showing came as a sur
prise to the trade. Not that the condi-
ton of the growing crop was believed t.
be lower than the figures. but because the
conservative tendency of government led
the majority to the belief that an advance
would hardly be given. The effect upon
the market was decisive and practically
all the recent advance has been lost. The
smash of the week was not unexpected
The imitation and the artificial level re-
sulting from over-speculation, and the cot
ton corner would have been revealed in
The course of few weeks even without
the assistance Of the government estimate.
Whca a single individual can stand III
the pit and bid up prices twenty and
thirty points at a time, someone has got
TO suffer in the und0ing The enormous
purchases in October that carried that op,
ton to 1880 are still believed to be intact.
off the September price in three days,
Practically the same is true of October.
This must cause a Strain somewhere. With
the condition of the growing crop, the
best with one exception in ten years,
with the level of prices at the present time
due to three or four years bull specula-
lation, and with an enormous speculative
long interest concentrated in one or two
hands the outlook is not encouraging for
buyers. In fact, it is difficult to restrain
enthusiasm on the bear side of cotton at
he present time. Early frosts would
change the entire outlook Cotton is not
yet moving freely The market is easily
subject to manipulation. These facts must
not be forgotten in working on the side
of lower prices, and while convinced that
in the end cotton will work towards =
much lower levd, so severe has been Tho
recent decline tlat we would now advise
caution and would only sell on advances
There IS a very general belief that for all
practical purposes a corner in cotton is
i thing Of the past That IS TO say while
the New Orleans pool still have $4,000 or
100000 bales OF cotton to dispose Of a suf
ficent quantity f futures for Septemne,
and October dei,ery have been sold to
amply protect then in the event of future
declines. This selling has been made pos
siDle by what nov appears to have been
| indlscretion on the part of prominent in
terest which purchased an enormous block
of futures in this market. Losses resulting
from declines in ,rices will therefore be
distributed among several individuals in.

There were some very heavy bear ac-
counts covered on the advance which
helped the upward movement and gave

the extent OF the movement gave rise to
some surmises of an accumulation on q

response was confined to the Southern

Winfield Scott, the well-known
Fort Worth capitalist and stock
man, is visiting Chicago this week +,
looking after some business mat
tiers, and IN discussing the Texas
situation said: Conditions in
the Lone Star State are very
gratifying. Our corn crop is very
good and the wheat yield was ex-
cellent, while prospects for cot
ton are the best for five years.
1.-The range section of Texas is
in splendid shape, l never saw it
in better condition at this time
of the year. We are in good
shape to hold our cattle, with
plenty of grass, and as cotton
seed meal will be abundant, a
large number of cattle will be fed.
If the prediction that the corn
belt will not have more than half
a crop holds good, Texas will be
strictly in it all around this year"

railroads give as their reason for
the advance in rates the fact that
the live stock business is costly
to operate and is not returning
them as much proportionately as
other commodities. While the
increase in stock rates at present
is regrettable, oil can say in re-
gard to it is that the roads have
previously advanced tariff on all
other articles of commerce to u
greater extent, leaving the stock

this was done because the lines

have been advanced more the past

cattle rates in that time will not
run as high as 1870, averaging the
country over, the advance ranging
