(By the Associated Press.)

New York Aug. EFT was another
active and irregular day in the cotton
market with fluctuations rapid and
violent, but showing general firmness
and leaving the market at a good net
gain. The opening was firm and bet
ter than due on the cables which
came much higher than expected and
at advance of 90D17 points. Sellers OF
last week were evidently dismayed by
the continued firmneSs OF the English
market and covered in volume while
there also appeared to be moderate
bull support. New Orleans showed
relative weakness early but soon raj
lied in response to the firmness here,
and before the end of the first hour
September had sold at lie locally; Oc-
tCber at 1880, December at 1885 ana
January at 1886, or a general advance
of 5000 points. At this level Offer
ings increased materially and prices
gradually fell back with many inter-
mediate spurtS due to continued COW
ering, until they were point or SO
under the opening figures. 1t was re-
ported however, that a certain local
authority had about concluded a crop
condition statement, placing the aver
age around or slightly under 80 per
cent, and the market in the after
noon Idu IL sharp Tdlly, Will wan
street houses leading buyers. 1t was
also reported that the South, which
sold early, bought during the last
hour.
The market was finally very steady
at a net advance of 1923 points.
Sales were estimated at $4,000 bales.
Private advices from Liverpool IN
Dictated that the market there was in
huenced by good American buying,
small stocks and moderate movement
A recount of the Liverpool stocks
shows a reduction of about 10000
bales, including 1000 bales of Ameri-
can and this probably had something
to do with the advance.
The weather as reflected by the
days report was generally favorable,
but seemed to have little effect on gen
eral sentiment
Receipts at the ports today 12,67t
bales against 4,141 last week and 9A4
last year. For the week $4,000 bales,
against 32,539 last week and 5,513 last
year. Today's receipts at New Or
leans were LIZA bales, against 155
1855 last year. and at Houston 4,91z
bales, against SO last year.

taken in the peerless racer, which

use In the Gordon-B Bennett cup race In
Germany on June 18th. and so many ru-
mors have been in circulation as TO the
cars weight. horsepower etc, that the
definite information just given out by
Mr.. Mooers will be eagerly received.
One Of the most interesting things
about the car is It's light weight for a
car with such a powerful motor. The
motor develops 50 horsepower, and the

There viii be dancing and bathing at
Saltair with many other amusements

II Is quite probable that several box
