Packet Line to
Parkersburg

A movement has been started by
a number of prominent rivermen
for he organization of stock com.
pauy to operate line of steamers
between this city and Parkersburg,
and the project seems to be 90
Johu Donuelly, w.il known In this
section,is at present soliciting stock
10 the neighborhood of New Mar
tinsvile aud Sirdis, where the
principal stock will be placed.
The plans of the company ale as
vet immature. 1t having been
rumored that they will both pur-
chase an old boat and build new
one The former statement. how
ever, seems the most plausible and
1t Is probable that the steamer Ben
Hur will be secured. Captain Fred
Kemple, the principal owner, has
been DESTROYS for a year or more OF
disposlng of his interest In her, and
as 1t Is at present, In that trade
would be ideal. The Ben Hur IS
com paratively a new boat, having
dnring the p .st sum ner undergone
extensive repairs.
There has been talk for a month
or more past, as was stated some
time ago by this paper that Capt.
Bert Kramer, owner of the Avalon
might buy the boat and take her
south. Her trade would then be
filed by the Avalon, now at Par

of Sistersville, had an option on the

lance in the crop or weather news, ex-

1900 bales were received last August
expects only ten bales this August.
The same story comes from all quar-
tiers. No old cotton on hand and no
signs of new cotton moving before
September, and it is "a question how
much viii be moving; that there is
not enough brilliancy about the new
crop to dispel fears of a possible set
back later in the season. Some Arkan-
sas reports are very discouraging.
Dun's weekly report was quite bear
ish and referred to good prospects
generally, excepting for Mississippi.
Cables were steady at to decline.
Manchester is doing little business.
Some German reports are better as to
the trade outlook. Spinners are keep
ing out of the market as heretofore,
and nothing will bring them in but
plenty of new cotton or a big crop
scare, when they will be glad to buy
at any price. A bulliSh Chronicle re-
port is expected tomorrow.

SPIR1TS-The week closing to-day
brings with It the record for this sea-
son in the naval stores market by a
rise after the closing to SAC. The de-
mand was active and the closing found
ali the offerings taken. For a time
there was lively scampering for sup
plies. and the eagerness of buyers to
ret the offerings resulted in the high
err prices being paid.
The official opening on the Board or
Trade was firm at So to 58Mc, sales
s75 casks, and the closing firm at bSAc,
sales. 50 casks. Shortly after the close
SAC was being freely paid up to the
time the offerings we're absorbed when
trading for the day closed. A devel-
opfnent during the day was the char
aeter OF the demand Heretofore II
has been the understanding that the
demand emanated from large frm
of exporters who recently opened an
office in this city. What one element

as "the big four" were reported as
buyers to-day. The "big four" usual

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. 21.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of .
points on September; a decline of 4
points on August and unchanged to 2
points on the later positions. The fea-
lure OF the early session was the course
OF August. Notices estimated at Co.,
OOO bales were said to be circulating,
and there was considerable selling Of
that position at the start.
The month opened at 12.20c, sold up
to 12.25c, then declined to 12.15c, only
to rally and sell back to 12.20c, after
which 1t again declined to .12.16c, and
was finally quoted at 1899, or point
under the close of the previous night.
The balance of the list ruled very
quiet most of the forenoon, and f1uctu-
atoms were very narrow. The weather
map reflected generally favorable eli
matte conditions, but there were fur
Their reports of damage from boil Vice.
vii in Texas, and this in connection
with steady cables, restricted sales,
while on any symptom of a decline the
clique supported values more or less
vigorously, and toward the close their
buying became more aggressive, with
September in particularly good demand.
That position, which had sold at 10.f2c,
was forced up on this demand, and on
covering to 10.Ssc, closing at that fig
ure, while October touched 1005c and
December 9.85c. The list closed firm,
5Q16 points higher on the new crop
months, and net point lower on Au-
gust. Sales were estimated at 10000
bales.
The larger sales of spot cotton had
some influence in the late market,
some S,9OS bales being reported sold to
spinners, with the market steady at
unchanged prices.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet, with the
demand ready and waiting. When cot
ton begins to offer locally there is lit
tile doubt about the demand. for the
understanding is that there are a
number of steamers to load during Sep
TENDER, and that the cotton must come
on for them. Local stocks are small,
as they are everywhere, and the trade
are awaiting the arrival of the new
crop, which promises to mark the be-
ginning of an active season.

quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:
