IN a recent lecture on gardens, in
Brooklyn, n. y, Mrs. Wilton P. Vain
wright of Boston appealed for the intro
duction of the small inclosed garden
into this country, as in England, and
exhibited nearly one hundred stereop-
ticon views Of some of the typical Eng
rsh gardens. These views were made
bv the lecturer during her stay in Eng
land last summer. Mrs. Wainwright
gave a sketch of the history of the in
closed garden and exhibited views of
the Shakespeare home as one of the
simplest yet most beautiful. Mrs.
Wainwright says the small incloSed
who do not follow her advice, do not
appreciate what is inexpensive and
beautiful. The Shakespeare garden, in
rear OF the house in Stratford-o n-Avon
where the poet was born, is SAID to con-
lain all the flowers, plants and shrubs
mentioned in his plays. 1t is inclosed
within high stone walls and is the
width of the house and about 300 feet
long. These stone or brick walls are
ntili1ad in EpuliSh ora rdQuS for GROWING
fruit. The trees or vines are trained
against the wall where they are exposed
to the sun and the heat radiating from
the wall assists in ripening the fruit.
The English inclosed garden is no doubt
due to the natural love of seclusion in
that country and in furtherance of the
idea that every Englishman's house is
his castle

eIbert 6 cIay,s Market Letter.

Famine In India, indifference among spinners as to early shipments. and larger crop estimates, were the more recent bearish influences in Liverpool market. while the offerings of hedges continued undiminished. As a result of all of which that market was disappointing through out the day. Options closed at a decline of five points, spots six points lower. Sales 1000 bales.
 The first trades in our market today re- fleeted in full the decline in Liverpool In addition to liquidation by longs some fresh selling was observed. The wtrther map henceforth is not likely to attract especial attention. unless depicting excess sive extreme or unusual conditions none of which appear today and the opinion prevails that the weather generally over the belt was seasonable and suitable for picking.
 MT. Kings belief that the crop will range between eleven and twelve million bales also induces some selling. Our ad- vices from Texas are to the effect that cotton Is being sold freely, while from central and eastern districts there is much serious determination to hold for ten cents, and offerings are notlceably less.
 Stocks-Stocks showed a better tone and some improvement in prices. An upward reaction is probable.

to purchasers or to holders borrowing in foreign markets. The efforts would be to release large borrowings by the synd- cate in this market. The bills offered in the exchange market which caused today's break were most of them bank ers bills which means that they rep resented further borrowing of foreign funds.
 This is a process which anticipates the making of exchange by the outward movement of commodities later in the year which will give an opportunity to cover the sales of exchange now being made The week opens with further large absorption by the sub-treasury and all reports point to the continued activity of business in all lines and the enormous movement of grain and merchandise over the railroads. The decline of currency to the interior is certain therefore, to con- tfnue for several weeks yet. It was this discouraging prospect which carried prices downward through early dealings today. The lack of urgency in the selling and some very large individuals buying of a few stocks. of an impressive char acter held the bears in check, and the market set about dull recovery about midday of the session. The government crop report had it's part in this con- dition both of corn and spring wheat being regarded as full holding the pre- Vlous promise. Some positive strength in Canadian Pacific. St. Paul and Smelling and notable absorption of Erie had a strong sympathetic effect on the recov- cry. Prices were carried very generally above Saturday night, and the cNssing, while slightly irregular. was at higher level
 Bonds were easy; total sales, par value, $1,625000

PRICE OF COTTON
 TOUCHES LOWEST Yesterdays Market Was Weak
 and Unsettled CLOSE WAS AT THE LOWEST Good Weather, Tremendous Receipts nd Reports of Few Spot Offerings Promoted Liquidation and
 Made Bears Happy.
CLOSE WAS AT THE LOWEST

New York, September 1.-The cotton market was weak and unsettled with prices touching the lowest point reached since the September bureau report on all positions later than October. The close was at just about the lowest of the ses- sion, or at net decline of 19d22 points. Sales were estimated at 25O.00O bales.
 The opening was weak at a decline of 761S points in response to lower cables than due on the American showing of Saturday. There was covering at the ini- tial decline, but good weather in the south, tremendous receipts and reports of free spot offerings promoted liquidation and fresh selling for short account, which was also encouraged by the absence of support from the October bull clique. After declining to net loss of TO 1e points the market rallied or points on covering but showed little improve ment in tone, and weakened again in the afternoon. with trading toward the close the most active of the session, and prices reaching new low level for the day. The closing tone was barely steady. Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1sc lower, with only small sales re- ported. Private reports concerning the spot situation were somewhat conflicting, but on the whole indicated liberal of ferings and part of the selling here was said to be against actual supplies
 Receipts at the ports today were 35,- PIP bales, against 22,216 bales last week, and 27,92O last year For the week, esti- mated, 100000, against 90S last week and 1S6,705 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 25S6 against 3561 last year, and at Houston 1S571 against 13,5sS last year.

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

The action of the market today showed th'S 1t Is easy to run prices up by buying a lot of cotton but an entirely different matter to keep 1t there
 With the short interest pretty well run in on the rise. there was no aggressive buying this morning and prices ran off rather easily.
 All the recent rise was lost. At one time prices were practically where they were at the low point of last week.
 But when ring traders found Decem- Der did not go below 10.42 they were in- clined to cover. Last week December broke to 10. 40 first, then to 10. fl and this morning to 10.42
 To make selling heavy the market will have to break through those fig- ures It will be remembered that cotton declined to 10 1-4 about three times since July 4. but each time it has moved back to II cents.
 The question now is has the market ing of the crop so changed the market and induced pressure that will carry prices below this 10 IA point? The buying O. October may sustain the level for a time and the trade may find that the fixing of the price at il cents will leave less cotton for sale at present figures
 In this event we may pass through Sep tember and October without break to 10 cents or below.

MONEY INFLUENCE STILL THE FACTOR German Imperial Discount Rate
 is Advanced PRICE OF GOLD ADVANCED / Action of English and German Banks Is Probably Taken as Defensive
 Measure Against New
 York's Demand.
PRICE OF GOLD ADVANCED

New York. September 1.-The stocK market remained under the shadow of the money situation today. The Influence was mostly sentimental, as there was n'eie disturbance of loans and notaole change In the rate of money. The principal event of the days worlds money market was the advance in the official discount rate of the imperial bank of Germany from B to per cent. It was generally expected that after the rise in the Bank of Eng land rate, the German institution would raise the rate but the advance of full one per cent was not fully expected. The incident is a movement in the interna- tional contest for funds now developing between the worlds money market. The great foreign banks seem to desire to accmu1ate reserves in preparation for large government and other loans to be fioated. It is clear that they will have to contend with pressure from New York to obtain additional funds in order to do this. Probably the action of the English and German banks Is defensive meas ure against New York's demand.
 It did not prevent another quite violent break in foreign exchange rates here in New York. which carried the prices of demand sterling within measurable dis tance of the rate at which gold could be engaged for import at a profit. It is ex- pected that before that rate is touched further obstacles will be interposed in for eign markets. The price of gold was ad- vanced in the London market today as one such an obstacle. Opinions in the banking community differs to the likeli- hood of an early inward movement of gold. The unprecedented loan contraction revealed by Saturdays bank statement continued the subject of interested dis russion and the subject was industrially ranvassed to discover special operations which may be held to account for the astonishing figures It Is believed that holdings by an underwriting syndicate of railway bonds have been transferred in large volume abroad either for delivery

Quotations h lower Futures opened 10d15 points lower than Saturdays closing figures. the decline be- ing attributed to the failure of Liverpool to respond to the advance on this side and the hammering of prices in New York. Liquidation after the opening de- pressed the local prices still further, tho market closing weak with net losses of 16q20 points. It is pointed out that much of the cotton now In transit represents old business. Out of total of 74,000 bales in Galveston stocks, 51 900 bales there are now on shpboard for Europe, which shows that Europe is buying on this side of the Atlantic instead of in Liver pool Telegrams from all over the belt state that farmers are refusing to sell spot cotton below ten cents.
