Langtry's Candidacy.
Secretary J4angtry's candidacy is
based upon the supposition that he can
convince the officials of the A. B. c.
that a paid secretary is needed to- con
duct the affairs of the congress, coupled
with the idea of having every individual
bowler pay 30 cents year Tor aamls-
sion to the congress. It is figured that
this would give the congress ample
funds and enable :. to run on smoother
lines than in former years.
One point in favor of his argument is
that 1t is worth $1,000 to nave COM
petent secretary to run the tournament,
and this would only tax the congress at
large $500 for his services the rest Of the
year in promoting city associations.
Three Amendments.
Langtry will offer three amendments
to the congress this month, copies OF
them having been mailed to the mem
bers of the executive commi :. e

New York, Aug. lin the dry
goods market today country jobbers
were active buyers. Important mer-
chants from New Orleans and other
places within the fever area placed
substantial orders for goods, which

them put through the quarantine.
Bleached goods, it was ascertained
today, are to be further advanced
within week, bleacheries being still
congested. Mems wear agents today
reported that spring business was
coming on very satisfactorily for
worsteds, particularly grays. Jobbers
were active in most departments.
New York Cotton.
New York. Aug. 1.-THE 4 cotton
market was more active and, after an
initial decline advanced sharply, with
last prices 22@26 points net higher.
Sales were estimated at about 400, 600
bales.
The opening was weak at a decline
of 2@11 points in response to easier
cables and continued pressure from
local bears But there was big demand
at the decline from leading Southern
interests, smaller shorts and commits
sion houses bulls, and the market
soon showed a net gain of 1905
prices fiuctuated rather narrowly, but
in the late trading became very firm
on bullish private crop reports. There
was active realizing toward the close,
and some of the local bear operators
sold in blocks of 5000 bales but the
market absorbed offerings very WE'LL
and lost only about or 5 points from
the best. The final tone was steady
Liverpool rallied soon after the local
opening and private cables were of a
more bullish average, predicting re-
newal of trade demand. The weather
map showed further rains at practical
ly all points except Texas, which con-
tinues dry and hot, and private crop
report, issued after the close reported
an average condition of TIA per cent,

stocks and Bonds.

New York, Aug 17.-Nearly half
million shares of stocks were sold to-
day in the first hours dealings on the
ST Tx Exchange. The extreme ami
nation during that period of today
was convincing evidence of the growth
of speculative interest. The accum-
ulated buying demand was fed steadi-
ly during the whole of the first hour
in the process of realizing profits. The
result was growing tendency to yield,
which became more marked as the
accumulated buying orders were
worked off. But when this condition
of affairs began to be evident there
was discontinuance of the pressure
to sell, which threw the market OF the
middle portion Of the day into dull
ness. Each days news adds to the
confidence in the prosperous outcome
of the grain crops, and the grain car
riers held their conspicuous place in
the days market. Stocks of rail-
roads were notably held back by the
pressure to realize, Reading being the
conspicuous example, although that
stock touched a new high record dur
ing it's period of strength. So did
Erie, which was the strong exception
in the group. Union Pacific was
again very conspicuous and was the
subject of the most talk Of deals, and
u
cial factor in the Southern group was
the belief that the yellow fever cpl
demic in New Orleans has come under
control. The peace conference at
Portsmouth was the subject of atten-
tive consideration under the belief that
the critical stage of the negotiations
had arrived. The favorable condi-
ton reported by the trade authority
in the iron and steel industry had its
effect on the stocks of companies con-
nected with various branches of that
industry. The extra dividend on
United States reduction and refining
explained the advance in the stocks
of that company. Reports that the
often projected lead merger was again
abandoned depressed National Lead
and had some effect also on
American Smelling. The money
| market continued easy and therefore
received no attention in the stock
market. The digestive process con-
| tinued up to the close, which was
taking in some stocks and the late rise
