I . "A 1i.gag'sr m =--- e3z ANOTHER ACTIVE AND IRREGULAR
 DAY IN COTTON.
Fluctuations Rapid and Violent. but Good Net Gains Are shown at the
 Close of the Days Trading.

NEW YORK. August 2e,-It was another active and irregular day in the cotton mar ket with fluctuations rapid and violent but showing general firmnsss and leaving the market at a good net gain The opening was firm ana better than due on the cables, which came much higher than expected and at an advance of 9@17 points. Sellers of ' last week were evidently dismayec py sie continued firmness of .he English market and covered in volume, wfiis there also ap- peared to be moderate bull support. New Orleans showed relative weakness early, but soon rallied in response to the firmness here and before the end of tn first hour Sep tember had sold at He locally. October at 10 sec. December at 10. sec and January at points. At this level offerings increased materially and prices gradually fell back with many intermediate spurts due te con tinued colNring, until they were a point or so under the opening figures. It vas re- ported, however. that certain lceal au- thority had about concluded a crop condi- ton statement placing the average around or slightly under so per cent and the mar ket in the afternoon had sharp raly with Wall Street houses leading buyers. It was early. bought in the last hour.
 The market was finally very steady at a net advance of 16923 points. Spots were estimated al 50o,0oo bales. Private advices from Liverpool indicated that the market there was influenced by good American buy ing. smai stocks and the moderate move shows reduction of about 10000 bales, in- cluding 3.000 American and this proDably had something to do with the advance The weather as reflected by the days report was generally favorable. but seemed to have It, tie effect on general sentiment. Receipts at the ports today were 12.670 bals. against 4.- 14i last week and 944 last year. For the week 50000. against 32,539 last week and 5.513 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 1,174. against 1853 last year. and at Houston 4.sl2. against SS last year.

Virgin & Fnunce's Cotton Letter. (By Private Wire from J. Walter Labaret

NEW YORK. August 29 Decreasing stocks. coupled with an increasing demand from Liverpool, were the bull points in the cotton market this morning. The whole list opened strong and shor. covering and bull support gradually strengthened and scored a further advance. New Orleans was a heavy buyer of December and January and a prominent Philadelphia spot house also took large blocks of December The Government weekly report tomorrow is ex- pected to make an unfavorable showing We do not look for any great activity. how ever, until the monthly Government report is issued on September. We look for ca very unfavorable report and think the showing will be much poorer than anticipated. In the meantime, the market will gradually strengthen and that for the present the long side of the market will be the side for profits. The Journal of Commerce special report. while making favorable comment on the general condition of the crop, states that the plant has shown considerable de- terioration fin Louisiana Texas and the Gulf States in general We feel inclined to be bullish nthe present outlook and think that cotton is a purchase at current fig ures.

0. E. PIERCE CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

tby friVate wire rom Gibert X Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS August 29.-Liverpool was all that could be expected at the hour of our opening and steadily improved to the close Fears of manipulation small stocks and lihgt receipts were cited causes for the advance. Cables also report ed a loss by recount in stock of 20. 900 bales. New crops finally closed at an advance of 15 points and spots were higher by points on sales of 6, ,00O. bales.
 Opening prices here showed a small im- provement. but further gains soon in order under the influence of short covering In anticipation of an cratic market some nervousness was apparent but trading was slightly less active and although fuctua- tons covered a fairly wide range the changes were less sudden than recently ex- perfenced. The trade at present Is standing in awe of the impending Government re- port. the weekly tomorrow and the bureau condition figures Friday. In view of the difference of opinion to the percentage of deterioration which will be disclosed in the latter 1t Is reasonable to expect that there will be considerable liquidation of the larger interests before the announcement of the official average figures, The movement fulfills all reasonable expectations, promis- ing to assume quite large proportions during the week, and unless the crop as a whole shall be shown to have suffered to a great CT extent than the majority of accounts in- dicate. present levels may be subject to only moderate advances before declines of mo. ment will most probably be observed

forth and forever the Republican party
of Nevada would be true to silver"
Do you remember?
ROBBERY OF SILVER STATES.
1t will have been noted that I have
incidently asserted that Nevada to-
gether with all other silver producing
states have been and now are being
robbed and if such q thing as a nat
ion swindling the states is possible
then will prove it. And by the way
OF premise let me suggest that posi-
bly, only few even Of your committee
know the coinage Of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to T. is going on as glibly
as forty years ago, with this difference
only, forty years ago the miner got
the benefit; today the government,
through the Republican Administration
is reaping from $1,000, eco to 1900, Oe0
annually as a direct profit at the ex-
pense Of the miner. My reason for
suggesting that is that few people
have asked many gold worshipers the
know what is going on IS because !,
question: when did the government
cease to coin the silver at the ratio
Of 16 to II" Almost invariably l got
the answer, substantially this: 20,
the minis have long since ceased to
coin so cent dollars" BY the way,
this is another song put in the mouth
of our local magpies and parrots by
Wall and Lombard street money
changers to bring disrespect to the
legal currency of our nation. Fifty
cent dollars for sooth Did any one
of your committee ever see one?

THE PRESENT COINAGE.

Wen, Wnat was l about to say: l
am derided for favoring the coinage
while the administration is doing It
every day. OF course not many know
it. l want here to say that l don't
want to carry the impression that the
government is doing anything surrept-
iously. What is done is simply &C
cording to law, which we, the friends
of silver, would have changed.
Now for the proof of the assertion
that practically free coinage of silver
at the ratio of Is to is still going on
My authority for the follwing is this
treasury. BY referring page "a Of
the report for the year 1900 it will be
seen that
The government took 19,51O,O00
ounces Of the bullion bought under the
act of Congress of 1890 and for which
it paid the miner or producer the sum
of $780,, 112, and made it into $685..
O1O,912 at a profit to the government
of $7.5O3.SOO
OF course it follows that if the gov
eminent gained over seven million dol
lars it must have been at the expense
of the miner and producer of silver
and less some busy excusser for the
! government should say this was an ex-
ception, l want to add that for every
year for many years the coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to l is the
rule, the coinage Of the hateful and
despised dollar being annually from
Is to Is millions.
In 1901 the mint took bullion costing
the government sixteen million, one
hundred and twenty-five thousand, two
hundred and seventy dollars and made
it into twenty two million, five hundred
and sixty-six thousand. eight hundred
and thirteen dollars at a profit Of

this is fair to Nevada and other silver
producing states? What other indus.

tee aware OF the fact that these dollars
only cost the government a little over
forty cents each and is compelling

dred cents each?
In this article have said nothing
OF the more than one hundred and for.
ty seven millions of gain to Europe

ducers by reason of unfriendly legis-
lation against one of our main indus
tries and products.j
Great Britain reduced our populat-
ion from sixty five thousand to forty
five thousand and brought to every
citizen distress or poverty. The party
in Nevada today glories in the policy
Of the administration which sights
our people with high handed robbery
by forcing US to sell our silver at a
ratio Of SO to l. and then coins it at
will and then force the people to take
it back at the much rated ration of Is
to l. no. I will here ad that very few
OF even the professed wiseacres If
the party know or will believe that
what l have suggested is true Every
silver producer in the United States
is now practically selling his dollars
at about forty seven cents and buying
them back at a hundred cents.
