NEW YORK, July lin the cotton mar
ket the opening was slow. but the tendency
was natural in view of the character of
fluctuations In an of the speculative mar
kets. The market opened steady in tone
with first prices unchanged to points low
err The early losses were sympathetic with
foreign advices while the weather conditions
were figured to be excellent. The market
was swayed by the customary pre-holiday
considerations. and while some room inter-
ests sold moderately, the demand from
shorts was sufficient to absorb the offer
ings. The market throughout fluctuated
through a narrow limit. showing no special
tendency in either direction. The stats
tics were about as expected and the weekly
figures attracted but passing attention. UP
to the close there was a thorough DISPOSE
tion on the part of buyers and sellers alike
to proceed cautiously since there was no
inclination to assume fresh obligations over
the holidays. The feeling on the close was
a little conflicting The estimated port re-
ceipts for the day were figured at 1900.
against 4.547 for the same day last year.

Caldwell, Ward q Co.'S Market Letter.

NEW YORK, July From the temper
of Liverpool It Is evident that no matter
the continuous decline In the old crop
he is disposed to leave the task of depress-
ing the value Of their own property to the
far months and American operator. Prices
there today showed rather more steadiness
than expected and our market ruled with
little change throughout the forenoon, to-
ward the close. however. there a con-
certed effort the part of certain prom
inent operators to break the market at the
close with evident intention of convincing
Liverpool that the short interest Is in no
way uneasy over the forthcoming bureau.
Their efforts. however. caused only slight
depression and the market closed about
points lower than yesterday. The July
longs who stopped notices do not seem to
have provided places for the cotton in ad-
vance. as we hear of lot of 500 bales
which was exchanged for July contracts and
another of 900 which was offered for sale in
the open market. All attention is now fixed
upon the Government report next Tuesday
which will appear at noon. The June con-
dition. every remembers SO and
the glowing accounts received during the
past month have led many to expect July
condition between 81 and 80. Private in
vestigations however, as we'll as the re-
ports to the Journal of Commerce, all ap-
pear to agree that the improvement has
not exceeded az points, which would indt-
cate bureau figure of about S6h. This
corresponds with the very low condition of
II l last year and a ten-year average of
about IS. In this connection 1t will be of
interest to know that the July condition in
1862. s-was almost the highest rec
ord and yet the yield was the lowest
prove that the final outcome of a crop
not be measured by its start. but 1t
would be unfair to assume that a good start
is not tremendous advantage for big
crop and without conditions change for the
worse, they do not seem this season as
promising far in excess of last year

A Comparison.

In his recent letter of acceptance,
President Roosevelt said, among other
good things:
1t is difficult to find out from the
utterances Of our opponents what are
the cal issues upon which they propose
to wage this campaign. AS soon as
they raise one they shrink from it and
seek to explain it away. Men may
differ from us, but they cannot accuse
us OF stiffness or insincerity. Our
actions speak even louder than our
words for the faith that is in US. A
party fit to govern must have convic.
tons"
Every voter in the country who keeps
posted will readily admit the force and
truth of the above. The Republican
party is not ashamed of its record. The
Democratic party is--or should be.

Maine went Republican Monday-as
usual. The plurality is $1,000, the av-
erage for the past seven state elections
being 25,257. McKinley's plurality of
45,777 in 1896 was about 1000 grea .er
than was ever received by any other
candidate. The vote this year was
much heavier than four years ago, the
Republican total being increased by s
per cent and the Democratic by "a per
cent. This shows that many Dem
ecrats stayed away from the polls four
years ago.
