Business Slow on Cloth Market.

MANCHESTER. Sept. I3.-The decline
In cotton has not facilitated operations
on the cloth market. Consumers abroad,
influenced doubtless by the recent crop
reports. are looking to immediate reduce
tons. which the users are not in a condi-
ton to concede since spot cotton is
EEcarceIy cheaper. Cloth sales for early
delivery IN quantity appear to be out
OF the question.
Frequent inquiries for China staples
Tor distant delivery occasionally resulted
In business.
Offers for India fabrics were neither nu-
merouS nor satisfactory. South American
buyers were fairly busy.
There was a fair inquiry for yarns.
transactions, however. were much below
the average though there was some i'm
proVement in the turnover.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapoiis-A heavy downpour over
the Northwest and predictions OF frosts
for Kansas and Nebraska put strength
into wheat and brought an advance, De-
cember selling early to 80Ac, against the
close Friday at 1910, and September
jumping to SEC. That the Northwest has
been hurt by the severe weather does not
admit of doubt, and that the situation IN
the Northwest is extremely buillsh is
patent. The same conditions or nght
stocks and insufficient supplies still re-
main and last week there was decrease
OF 10s. 412 bu. bringing the total down to
III, 266 bu. Winter wheat is coming IN
here in considerable quantity and Friday
there were $50 cars winter and almost as
much Saturday. This makes the daily
figures a little misleading. Saturday Min
neapolis had $50 cars. The country roads
are bad everywhere; threshing operations
seriously delayed, and now comes another
general soaking rain. making the situa-
ton much worse and cutting the total
crop-both In quantity and quality. 1t is
a time for the bull to get active. But
Chicago will not bull Chicago holds back
persistently The Southwestern situation
looks bearish to the Chicago talent, and
all the Chicago traders will say is that
wheat is now about 13c over last year,
and there is no good export demand. 9th
er conditions are ignored Many traders
here believe that Chicago viii finally come
into line.
The market turned quiet later and near
the close was marked by light trading.
The outside grain markets followed only
In part and Chicago would not come up
with any alacrity. September wheat after
selling to Ss1se. closed at 857sc. Decem-
Der closed at SO1s oslo. and May at S31s@
S3Ac. The cash market had a sharp adj
vance With the reports Of damage in the
Northwest came the demand for choice
wheat and the No. / northern sold from
1861 C to 87kc or almost &c over yester-
days average. No northern sold from

A Chance in Colombia,

Washington-What Is considered en-
tirely reliable information has been re-
ceived by DR.. Herran, the Colombian
tention on the part of the Colombian
senate to resume consideration Of the
subject of a Panama canal treaty in
place of the one disapproved by that
body. This shows decided change in
the turn of affairs and leads DR.. Herran
to hope that a measure will yet be
passed by congress which will form the
basis for the ratification of treaty
between Colombia and the United
States of America for the construction
of an isthmian canal.
DR.. Herran's information is that on
the day after the disapproval of the
treaty by the senate that body voted
to appoint committee of three mem-
bers to act jointly with committee
from the house of representatives in
the formation Of measure having for
its object the ratification of a treaty
between the two countries by the exc
cutive Of Colombia, after the two
houses of the Colombian congress had
passed an enabling act outlining the
terms and conditions on which a treaty
should be drawn. The president OF
Colombia by this act, would have full
power In the premises, and the treaty
would not have to be afterwards sub
mitted to the Colombian congress. a
more careful reading of the dispatch
which DR.. Herran received early in the
week announcing the action of the
senate on the treaty shows that what
