New York, Sept. 1.-THE situation
in the dry goods market was little
changed at first hands today, but the
weather had interferred with business
with the jobbers. The latter how
ever, assert that they are receiving
numerous orders from competitors
who are without supplies and in need
of prompt deliveries. Prices remain
firm.
New York Cotton.
New York, Sept. 11.-The cotton
market was generally weak and unset
tied with prices touching the lowest
point reached since the September
bureau on all positions later than Ot-
tober. The close was at just about
tho lowest of the session or a net de-
cline of 10 to % points, Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.
The opening was weak at decline
of no 13 points in response to lower
cables than due on the American
showing of Saturday. There was COW
ering at the initial decline but good
weather in the South. tremendous re-
ccipts, and reports of free spot offer
ings. promoted liquidation and fresh
selling for short account, which was
also encouraged by the absence o.
support from the October bull clique.

hours. When our stork awoke he looked
around and not far away he saw some
beautiful birds standing on one leg and
enjoying life. They were of a lovely pink

was told they were famingoes.

anything again"
"All right" said the wizard you shall

little frog caught him and swallowed him
without saying please or excuse me!
