 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 8.--Liverpooi advices were better than expected but our market however. opened unchanged to | point higher but shortly after improved ia2 points on fresh buying. The continuance of favorable weather throughout the belt and the lack of support ing orders owing to the settled financial condi- tfon caused a break of 69e points from the top, the latter making the net less 315 points on the day. The visible supply of ali kinds decreased i2o0oo during the week. against t3o.oo0 last year, of which the American showed 2 loss of e6. ooo against 10, 900 last year The visible supply of all kinds asgre- gates 5ee. 900. against 6.5ss.oo0 last year and t.27e.ooo in 1900. The spinners' talk ings Of American cotton during the week were 100. oo0 against i4I 900 last year, ,oi 4fo0O less than iast year. The total visible supply of all kinds is now only 67, 600 less than last year and shows an excess of 2eO,. 900 over the corresponding period in 1900. The total stock of American ashore and adoai to Liverpool is 253 900, against 27t 900 in 1900. In other words, the statistical position Is weaker than in 1900. as Is evidenced by the above facts. Notwithstanding this, Au. gust is 337 and September 22o points over values existing in 1900. During the same time and compared to corresponding period last year August Is 44s and September. PSI points over prices ruling then. There is nothing in the situation to justify these levels outside of ma nipulation: still sentiment continues optimistic, irrespective of all feature; we think well of buying the late months only on decided de ciifes with view of taking profits on spurts.

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 9,--Liverpooi as usual displayed a mildly bullish tendency with liIn- ited business. Philadelphia interests were re- ported to be buying low grades for shipment to New York. Finances remain unsettled the bank statement was looked upon as decidedly unfavorable. Crop accounts and weather re- ports continue good. The attention of traders fs directed chiefly to the outlook of the new crop and never before in the recollection of present day operatorsss9As interests in that one feature been so intense On bears of good crop prospects in one section with unsatis- factory conditions if another. though nearly all reports concede tardiness of from to weeks in the growth of the plant Thus while everybody Is willing to believe that no efforts will be spared to get every pound of cotton the coming season that. earth will pro- duce theer is nothing in the evidence eiecited so that an excessive yield will be secured and especially in view of the crops unusual sus- compatibility to injury by frost. The question of price is accordingly as wide open as 1t ever has been. though the seller seems to be assuming greater risks, on speculative tranB- actions. than the buyer The chances in fa- not resume operations actively until they can get cotton at their own price; that indica- tions may point to an immense yield and dis courage speculative support that cotton will be sent to market with rush and pressed for sale to secure high prices. On the other hand. the chances fin favor of buyers are that the ensuing ninety days and encourage vigor- ous bull speculation; that the depleted stocks of manufactured goods may force spinners to resume operations through an adjustment of price levels that a car shortage may attend any rush of cotto nto market and embarrass prompt deliveries; that farmers may display unexpected independence in selling and last of aIl 1t is very possible that any decline ii prices of consequence will be conducive to a general resumption or business amongst spin ners and create an active demand for raw cot ton. Under these circumstances. we can but repeat that buying breaks appears to con cain fewer elements of danger fin the long run although 1t must be admitted that the tendency is for lower values until crop ac. counts assume a less roseate hue and while frequent fluctuations may be expected we dc not advise short sales except on good bulges with the accepting of moderate profits.

RATHER QUIET SATURDAY
PASSED IN BOTH HOUSES

Board of Health was passed without
much question.
ATTORNEY GENERAL's DEPART
MENT.
Under Department of Attorney-Gen-
eral, Chairman Harris moved to insert
an item Expenses defending fisheries
cases, $4,000" and explained that the
litigation was most important, as the
government had won two cases, and If
all were won there would be a throw
ing open of all the fisheries to all the
people
Beckley attacked the proposal saying
the item was robbery. He declared that
the man who was to get the money
was already chosen, and that all that
was necessary for this prosecution was
81 900 for expenses. He went off on a
tangent about how many sights the At
torney- General might see at st. Louis
and New York.
Kumalae moved that the Attorney
General be summoned before the House
to defend the item, and the Secretary
went after the official. Pending his
coming Andrade explained that many
trips would be necessary, as one would
not settle the entire seventy-eight
cases.
ANDREWS TALKS.
Attorney General Andrews here APP
peared and said that before he had TAX

the firm of Robertson & Wilder to ar
que the fisheries cases, paying them
$500 retainer DEPRESSING he said his
policy was that the acknowledgements
office should be able to handle the work
before it. and If the head of the office
could not do so he should resign. That
he said would be the way he proposed
to run the office.
He told how Robertson e. Wilder had
carried on the first trials, winning them
and doing such good work that they
were entitled to be paid and the SUN
mentioned was for the full fee in the
case, they to follow it through. An
drews paid high compliment to MI.
Robertson and said he did not think the
charge excessive. If no appropriation
is made then, he said, he would have
to pay the bill out of some appropria-
ton for his own office. Answering Beck
ley the Attorney General said he
thought $4,000 would be necessary and
that the Territory could be sued on the
contract. He said also that travelling
and printing in making defense of a
case at Washington would cost $1,000.
Replying to Mr.. Harris. he said he
thought that only one case would be
appealed. Arguing for more money for
incidentals he said he thought he
ought to have $4,000 or $500 month,
He reiterated his statement that he
would handle big cases and would con-
slider that he ought to resign If he could
not do it. He said he hoped that Mr..
Robertson would be chosen as he is the
most brilliant lawyer in the city.
The committee then rose, reported
progress which was accepted. and the
House adjourned.

DEATH OF DR..
GEO. P. ANDREWS

Death comes as a surprise even
though, on account of long continued
i'll health, or an acute attack, 1t may be
hourly expected. Such was the feeling
among his friends when, on Sunday
morning, 1t was said that DR.. George
Andrews had passed. away late on Sat
urday evening.
George p. Andrews was born at Kailua,
on the Island of Hawaii, on the 9th day
of April, 1888. His father, Seth l., An
drews, was one of the large seventh re-
enforcement of the American Mission,
which arrived IN Honolulu in April,
1887. He was at once stationed at Kali
lua, where, and at Lahainaluna. he re-
manned with his family till 1919, when
falling health compelled his withdrawal
from the Mission, and they returned to
the United States, where the family
was educated. DR.. George p. Andrews
received most of his college training at
the Michigan State University. at Ann
Arbor Thence he went to New York
City. and entering the College OF Ply
sicians and Surgeons. graduated with
honors.
Establishing himself in Detroit, he
soon built up a large and important
practice, and easily became the lead
ing physician of the city. He also es-
tablished wide reputation for learning
In other lines. and possessed surpris-
ing amount OF information on many
other topics. His friends in Honolulu

Ill health brought him out to the ISL

ing the climate beneficial, he returned
and eventually wound up his affairs in
Detroit, and came back to Hawaii with
his family and settled here. Continued
i'll health prevented his taking the pro-
fessional position here to which his
ability entitled him. Many will testify
to his good work as a doctor: and all
who knew him unite in pleasant re-
membrance of his social and intellec-
tual qualities.
