NEW YORK. Aug. 2e.-cotton futures in the local market to-day opened weak, and the first prices at a decline of to points.
 The reduction r bullish sentiment was the natural result of weak cables from the English market, and better crop reports. Such de- Velopments led to considerable selling out by local iongs. However. on the lower levels there was good buying for both sides of the account and some options advanced consid- eraoly, though 'he market a whole was not in possession of the same amount of sta bility as was the yesterday There was Q gool demand for the September option.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-The cotton market opened lower and then steadied some. The Liverpool reports fell short of expectations. Instead of going considerably higher that market lower. The rise yesterday was probably too rapid, and eagerness for profits led to lower level The strong factors in the situation cannot be ignored. and this must tell in the long run. There IS not enough new cotton moving. We are now near ing September and there is little being mar keted. Nobody expects anything like last Sep tembers movements. which was l,2oO, OOo bales Ths question Is how much will be marketed this season, possibly not over half the amount of last season. in which event mills may enter the market with such eager ness as to surprise the trade. and offset any possible bearish features during the month. The crop Is not doing as well as should be. and in six weeks the temper may be low enough to give shorts a fright. Present prices may then look very cheap and good people are acting accordingly, especially as the receipts at ports for the week far are but 500 against 33. GOO last year. December and Jam uary shorts were covering extensively to-day. Cables were 2 to 5 lower and quiet. Yarns firm Manchester, and business fair.

The best corn crop in many years is now assured: some corn has been gathered; much fod9er s being saved in good condition, in some fields this work is completed Sorghum is be- ing cut with a good yield; field peas are maturing, and much pea vine and grass hay Is being saved in good condition: sweet potatoes are maturing nicely. prom ising good yield with some being mar keted: late Irish potatoes. cane. peanuts and all other minor crops continue prom ising; grapes and apples are making good yield: gardens are failing in southern and yielding we'll in northern counties: tnore turnips are being sown with considerable of this crop up to good stands; pastures continue good.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Buyers continue their activity in dry goods tobbing circles but this activity is not reflected at first hands. There is tendency to demand more prompt shipment of spot goods and buyers find it diff hcult to secure satisfactory deliveries a good many lines A scarcity on an increas- ing number of lines is apparent and is likely to grow with the wide curtailment in pro- gress.

 NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-The market to-day was somewhat more quiet. Transac- fions on a large scale and seemed to be a ready demand for all cotton that holders cared to sell. No was willing to sell much short cotton. and this left the market in the control of speculative interests. long as pool continues to hold. their cotton and very little new cotton is obtainable, 1t is the sim plest thing in the world to advance prices But all this will tell in the long run. The present situation is similar to that existing in 1900 when October cotton sold at loAc in the fall of year. and European and Ameri- can spinners were compelled to buy cotton at high prices only to suffer for 1t in the end. In the spring of the year cotton sold down to about cents a pound. Then 1t never stop ded going. Until enough new cotton comes in to supply some of the present requirements, short selling is foolhardy unless done after an ex- treme advance: until then 1t is a conservative fashion With a further bulge of 30 to 40 noints in December and January we would be inclined to risk the short side. We are not disposed to favor buying as long as crop prospects continue good. Ten and a quarter cents is a high price.

however, and this was regarded as rather un- usual in ivew of the fact that this option is believed to be largely under the control of the bull element. The market displayed con- siderable nrmness as the day wore on. but the market a whole continued narrow. The movement continued small. For the week, the ports were estimated al |, 500 bales, against
 l,642 last week. The late market was slow and without special feature. except that there was Q firm undertone in evidence.

For. M,KINLEY MONUMENT.

CLEVELAND, CO0 February IA
The Mckinley National Memorial AS
sociatioA has issued a statement to the
effect that it has collected more than
$500 600 during the first year of its or
ganizatiSn. The association announces
that itNwill be necessary to collect
something more than 100000 additional
before anything will be done toward
building the monument.
The trustees have decided to under
take the collection of this additional
sum through the PostOflice and depart
ment stores of the country bv placing
in their hands a supply of the souvenir
certificates to be given to AL cOntribu-
tors of 81 or more. The certificates
will ultimately go to all contributors.
In large cities where comparatively
few people visit the Postohice, these
certificates VIII be sent to department
stores for distribution.

BEFORE WE CAN

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out Of the ore. The
same principle applies to cod liv-
er oil. Its virtues are not in it's
fatty matters; much less in it's
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, Was ever
greatly benefited by the so called
"plain - cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repuI-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it for the majority Of people
This-to say nothing about it's
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
and IN this efective remsdy,
made palatable as honey, we have
the very heart and soul of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry. These constitute a tissue
builder, blood purifier, health
remover beyond comparison. Dis
ease yields to it with a complete
ness and rapidity which aston
ishes medical men quite as much
as it delights their patients. In
all wasting conditions, Scrofula
and Blood Disorders, La Grippe,
Chronic Bronchitis, Pulmonary
Affections, etc, it never fails to
relieve and cure. DR.. Louis W.
Bishop says: al take pleasure in
saying l have found it most
efficient preparation, embodying
all of the medicinal properties
COf pure cod liver oil, in a most
palatable form. y 1t stands in the
front rank in the march of med
. icine. Effective, from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists here.

TO UILD
BOATS LIKE BIRDS
KAISERS NAVAL AUTHORITIES
IMMENSELY PLEASED WITH A
NEW WAR SHIP DESIGN.

BERLIN, February 13-Emperor Will
liam's navy has acquired an invention
destined to revOlutionize the whole sys-
TEN of vessel construction and to make
German war ships the swifteSt fighting
craft ahOat. The invention is credited
to Professor KretzsChmer, chief of con-
struction in the imperial navy, who
completely rejects the traditional type
of ship patterned after a fish and sub
stitutes for it one in the form of an
aquatic bird. By annihilating wave
resistance, the new form augments the
propelling capacity of the screw 90 per
cent, thus making possible a cores
ponding acceleratiOn of speed without
an increased expenditure of power.
Kretzschmer's theory rests on the
suppositiOn that a vessel should be built
in the shape of creature that moves
On the surface of the water, instead of
being patterned after a fish, which
moves beneath the water 1t is stated
that the new type of boat will make
no waves or connection of any kind
but will glide along the surface with
the easy motion of a duck,
German naval authorities believe
their latest acquisition is tremendous
advantage in the direction of increasing
the fighting efficiency of war ships.
They assert that they have solved the
problem of acquiring greater speed and
longer steaming capacity without the
necessity for machinery of higher
power or for bigger coal bunkers.

WE POOR AMERICANS.

NEW YORK, February 14.-Poultney
BigelOw the war correspondent and
lecturer, told the members of the
League for Political Education in this
city today that in the event of war be-
tween the United States and Germany.
THE Americans would get licked out
of their boots before they got their
wind" Germany he said, could land
a force of 5000 on this side of the wa
ter and the unpreparedness of the
United States would bring to this
country disaster and ruin which ii
would take years to overcome.
BigelOw discussed the subject 1.-THE
Coming Struggle for Markets of the
East" He made sarcastic comments on
the high officials in the Government
service and the conduct of the Spanish
and Civil Wars, but was kind enough
to say of Minister Bowen and his part
in the Venezuelan affair: 1T is a
miracle that at this crisis in your his
tory there is a man by the name Of
Bowen and who has come to the front
in spite of the politicians and who is
capable and competent to handle this
important matter to the credit Of his
country"

THAT DORIC SEIZURE"
Big Consignment of Percussion Caps
Found on the Vessel.

SAN FRANCISCO, February IS
While searching the Occidental and
Oriental liner Doric yesterday, Customs
Inspector w. H. Robb discovered 10000
percussion caps secreted in quarters
occupied by members of the crew. The
explosives it is presumed, are intended
to be used by the Boxers of China.
A Chinese member of the stewards
department claimed the caps. He said
he was taking them to Yokohama, but
refused to tell for what purpose he had
purchased them. The caps are of
American manufacture and of the kind
generally used on Springfield rifles
with which the Boxers are said to be
armed. AS they are Of American
manufacture. the customs authorities
are powerless to prevent their eXporta-
ton. ... a.
For some time past it has been al
legged that the Boxers have been re-
ceiving ammunition from this country.
The discovery of the percussion caps
has caused the customs officials to
make a[careful search of the Doric to
ascertain if arms have been secreted
on board.
