Between exceptionally favorable reports from Louisiana and Tennessee, as furn- ished by the Journal of Commerce and the usual weekly weather report which shows continued unfavorable conditions In the Atlantic district, the market closed at practically last nights figures. fiuctu- ating within points. There was some good buying attributed to the bull leader, but at the same time news came from New Orleans of heavy selling of October and December presumably for his ae- count also. The natural inference is that a large stradde operation Is under way between the two markets. with sales in New Orleans against purchasers in New York, There were also some re- ports of purchases by exporters against sales for shipment as far away as No vember and December. Opinions regard Ing the probable bureau figures seem to crystalize around S, which would com pare with SS.3 last month 7i9 in August last year and 9l6 in the bumper year Our own opinion Is that the |ureau will be very little. if any, below the July con- dition and the promise of the crop thus held would be construed by Europe as bearish Liverpool due unchanged to- morrow.

AbercrombIe 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

There was a marked change in weather conditions for the better overnight. prac- tically no rain at all in the western and central portions of the cotton belt and the precipitation in the South Atlantic states was more moderate and to fluff, promises for the setting in of favorable dry weather the official forecast was for fair weather in all sections of the south. except in West Texas and the two terri tories, where probable showers are looked for.
 The market. nevertheless ruled compara- lively steady at and after the opening and remained so until publishing of week. ly government weather report, it being feared that further general damage would be complained of as a result of general heavy rains of last Sunday. As usual, however the government weather bulle- tin for the week had everything in gen eral to say of the weather but nothing in particular as to regards progress of growing crop. and the summary of same was regarded as being no worse than ex- pected, if as bad as looked for. There after the market showed signs of becom- ing easier, especially after receipt of noon weather conditions throughout the belt, no rain being reported at any point with reasonable temperatures and fair weather prevailing generally except at few scat tered points. where cloudy weather was reported At about this time the hour for paying the last sad rites to the July option had arrived the last sale having been made yesterday at 10.50 and the last omen before its passing into oblivion was 10.40 bid. offered at 10.70 up to and including yesterday 1,400 bales of cotton were delivered to the bull pool. The sea- son has proven a sad disappointment to promoters of manipulation. one hasco fol- lowing another in ot1er named, March. May and July.

EXPRESSIVE TONE
 IN STOCK MARKET Decided Decrease is Noted in
 the Demand INTEREST WAS TORPID Steel Stocks Were Particularly Slug gish and Were Apparently Held in Reserve For Leadership in
 Later Movement.
INTEREST WAS TORPID

New York, July 31.-During the periods when prices showed a disposition to move upwards today there was manifest some repressive influence on the movement. While the rise was thus checked there was no urgent pressure and the level was lit tie disturbed in spite of the decided de- crease in the demanding for stocks which is made clear by the shringage in the
 total dealings for the day During the buying movement of the first hour there were advances of a point or more in a number of the trans-continental railroad stocks, Pennsylvania, Amalgamted Copper and a few stocks of first importance. (tocks came out on the advance some of he heavy selling was attributed to bear
 Account The professional element was
 Inclined to take the short side on the
 sround that the advance had run to some . ength and invited reaction, especially as the outside demand which appeared yes terday after the weekend interval was pronounced to be insignificant. It was after the rise of the first hour had halted, that Consolidated Gas developed aggres- sive strength, recovering all of yester- Ady D AcdNs dCtiiit oiAd SSAiAh5 os NatN high figure of yesterday.
 The downward turn in the general mar ket yesterday was attributed very largely to, the sympathetic effect of the break in Consolidated Gas following the announce ment of the suspension of dividends on Brooklyn Union Gas. The importance at tached to the incident was due to an as sumption that it represented policy on 1, the part of the Standard oil party that was likely to be extended to other proper Kites to meet the current agitation against Evaporation affairs, and especially in the 3case of Consolidated Gas owing to the parallel circumstances of that company With the Brooklyn company.
 A The action of that stock today was re- Earded as refutation of that suppostion Nlthough no statement on the subject was Forthcoming from the executive commit tee after their meeting today
 Erhe market showed no immedite revival of the apparent removal of this cause of Yesterdays uneasiness. Interest became t6rpid and the price movement exceeding W sluggish. This was particularly true H the United States Steel stocks which Mere held in reserve apparently for lead4 Hship of the later movement. It is doubt

GOATS OF HIGH DEGREE
Many Fine AngOras on Exhibition at
Seventh Annual Show
in Dallas.

The seventh annual Angora goa
show for Oregon opened yesterday
morning with larger number oi
goats on exhibition than ever before
Every pen is occupied, and most o.
them are crowded. One hundred anC
seventeen animals were on exhibition
when the doors opened in the morning
and about 80 more were brought ir
during the day. The number of goats
exhibited last year was 10.
Prominent among the breeders
making exhibits in the registered
class are; E. L. Naylor, of Forest
Grove; William RiddeIl & Sons, of
Monmouth; U. s. Grant, G. W. Nc
Bee, Fl. S. Butz, Wilson Ayres and
II. L. Fenton, of Dallas. Among the
leading exhibitors of grade goats are
J. B. Teal, of Falls City; DR.. W. J.
Farley, Of Liberty; L. A. Guthrie. j.
Reasoner, Charles Hehnke, Charles
Rhude and I. G. McBee, of Dallas.
An interesting feature OF the dis
play is samples Of mohair showing
the splendid results that have been
accomplished by Oregon growers in
the last ten years in breeding for
length and fineness Of hair. The
samples of the early days of the in
dustry are short and coarse, while
those of recent years are fine, long,
and almost entirely free from kemp.
Another feature Of the show that
attracts much attention and favorable
comment is the display of goods
manufactured from mohair. Rugs,
cushions, car-seat plush, and cloth Of
the richest texture are included in
this department and give a compre-
hensive idea of the many purposes for
which the fleece Of the Angora goat is
used.
The display of swine and poultry,
held in connection with the show, is
up to the usual standard of excellence,
but the number of sheep is not
large. F. A. Koser, of Rickreall,
makes fine showing of Berkshires
in the swine department, his IA
month-old boar weighing 140O pounds,
being one of the finest animals ever
in Oregon. Hon. D. L.
Keyt's fine Berkshires from the Hood
farm in Massachusetts are admired
by all beholders. Ed Plaster shows
some splendid Poland Chinas and a
county breeder has an excel
lent exhibit.
The poultry department is in charge
Of 1. V. Lynch, as usual, and many
coops of fine birds add to theexcellence
Of the exhibit.
The OBSERVER will give a complete
list of exhibitors and prize winners in
its next ISSUE
