 During the suspension of business in
 America. Liverpool was completely overcome by the size of the commercial
 crop, II ,346, 900 bales. the actual growth of 1905, 10,726,000 bales, having been
 added to by the draining af the South's s left overs of 1904. and by heavy
 movement of new crop cotton prior to September 1st in Texas. and strutted about as if they were to be the framers of the future course of values. decline of about 12 points having been recorded yesterday in the English market. The fact that the crop movement was so large last season. bears calling 1t a sumner, only argued in favor of the season. and as staggering as the com mercial crop appeared to be, it was only made so. be it said to the credit of spinners taking, that consumption was actually under estimated, the South alone consuming 210.0OO bales more than season before last, although

Company, 3d Commerce St.)
 New York, Sept. 4--Liv verpool remain ed open both Saturday and Monday while we were in holiday and apparent ly took advantage of the opportunity to drive out the remaining scattered long interests in that market Prices suffered an extreme decline equal to twenty of our points and when the market re-opened there this morning only part of the decline has been re- covered. Later, however. on a combi- nation of bullish news there was a sharp advance which recovered all the lost ground and established prices at the close two to three higher than last Fridays. There were several causes for the rally. The Times Democrat of New Orleans, reported distinct dete- rioration during the past month due largely to rains. boil weevils and boil worms. This was backed up by a num- Der of private telegrams reporting a sharp failing off in condition in Arkan- sas, and the Mississippi Valley.
 when the receipts proved to be quite light in comparison with the heavy movement at this time last year and the long interest had been pretty well wiped out by the decline the timid shorts who wished to cover found it no easy task to get back their cot ton. As a result precies here were lifted twenty points from last Fridays close and closed at net gain on the day of that deterioration has set in in the cen tral and western belts. but 1t is high time that some decline in condition should take places after several months almost free from the usual complaints. Ii is significant that the people who 8 ersending in reports of damage are not following these up with buying or ders as would be expected if they took their own statements seriously. The bureau and the census figures will both be published either next Friday or the following Monday. In the meantime. there will he the usual nervousness previous to government publication and manipulators will take advantage of this uneasiness to work the market up and down according as the long or short interest appears the more vul- nerable at the moment.
 Liverpool Is due five up in the morn- ing. Yours truly,

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
 Chicago, Sept. 4.-Excellent weather in cause for the weakness in the local wheat market today. At the close wheat for December delivery was down 3-4. Corn was down 1-296-S. Oats showed loss of l-4. Provisions were unchanged to 7-12@ 10c lower.
 The wheat market opened strong in which was based. it was said, on the poor quality of Russian wheat rendered Tor delivery on September contracts. Lighter shipments than expected from ports in Russian and on the Danube dur ing the last week added somewhat to the builish feeling at the outset Later came reports that the northwestern markets were weaker because of continued good weather of the probability of an increase in the spring wheatmoyement This caus- ed change of sentiment on the local ex- change. Cash houses became active sell CTS and this led to free selling by local longs The result was steady decline in prices throughout the remainder Of the session. The market closed weak with prices almost at the lowest point of the day. December opened 1-4@S-s to 1-2@ 5-s higher at "A 1-4 to 1-2, sold off to 73 Is and closed at 73 1-4 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to l. 322,5oO bushels The amount on ocean passage decreased 160.000 bushels and the visible supplys decreased, 1,175. GOO bushels. Primary receipts weres 1.0s1.000 bushels against 2,os5.0o for the corresponding day last year. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chi cago reported receipts of 392 cars against 394 cars Last week and 976 cars a year ago.
 Ideal conditions for the maturing of the new crop depressed the corn market all day Country offerings showing a material increase and it is expected will continue to grow large for some time to come. Local receipts were larger than had been expected and this created some bearish sentiment. Cash houses were free sellers of the September option while pit traders sold May. The market closed weak and near the lowest point of the day December opened unchanged to a shade lower at 43 5-S93-4 to 3-4, sold off to 43A Is and closed at 43 Is @1-4. Local receipts were 5S9 cars with 33S contract grade
 Early trading in oats was fairly active and prices showed slight advances in sym pathy with wheat. Later. however, the market became rather weak on selling by commission houses and pit traders. De- cember opened 1-S to 1-S@1-4 higher at 31 5-S934 to 31 3-4. sold off to 3I If and closed at 31 IA @3-S. Local receipts 315 cars.
 The volume of trading in provisions was very small and the market was easy. A 10 cent decline in the price of live hogs was the principal bearish influence. Jan uary sold between 1340 and 13.45 and closed at a net loss of 1-2 at 14.4 1-2. Lard ranged between 7.s7 1-2 and 7.95 and closed at 7.S7 1-2@790.

against 11.s3s.000 one year ago. The advance in the market today. when Liverpool quickly recovered all of the holiday decline, was attributed to gem eral rains in Texas and to less favor able crop accounts from that State, but the truth of the matter Is that Ameri- cans paid more attention to consump- ton, present and prospective, than did our foreign friends.

COLORED BASE BALL CLUBS
FORM AN ASSOCIATION

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November TO-
Under the name of the National Associa-
ton of Colored Base Ball Clubs of the
United States and Cuba. the Philadelphia
Giants of Philadelphia, the Cuban x Giants
and the Cuban Giants Of New York. the
Royal Giants of brooklyn and the Cuban
Stars of Havana, Cuba, have banded to-
gether for the perpetuation of colored base
ball by surrounding it with such safe
guards as will warrant public confidence in
its integrity and methods. Walter Schlich-
ter of the Philadelphia Giants, has been
elected president. ]. w. Common of the
Royal Giants, vice president, and j. M.
Bright of the Cuban Giants, treasurer. A
board of trustees consisting of the presi-
dent, Manual Camps of the Cuban Stars
and E. B. Lamar, jr., of the Cuban x
Giants, also was chosen. Nat c.. Strong
of New York is secretary of the organiza-
ton.
of the National and American leagues. 1t
was made necessary by the financial results
of the season of 1905, when every owner of
colored ball club in this vicinity lost
money due to the eXorbitant salaries paid
to the players and the keen competition
among the various clubs.
The idea is to place colored base ball on
a solid business basis and to protect both
players and managers and prevent jump
ing from one club to another on the Slight
est preteXt as was done last season. 1t is
intended to protect the clubs from un-
scrupuIous managers of Independent clubs
who engage the colored clubs and uncere-
moniously cancel the dates at the last
moment If so inclined. 1t is intended to
cut out all such clubs which treat any of
the national agreement clubs in that man
ner.

FORMER JOCKEY RETIRES
- WITH A FORTUNE.

NEW YORK November 10.-"Cad' Dog
gett,, one of the biggest clubhouse COM
mission agents. on the local race tracks,
has retired from racing for the season. He
is 100000 ahead of his clients
Doggett is one of the few boys who has
made money since they quit the saddle.
About thirteen years ago he was a jockey.
He tried to follow the lead OF his brother
Sam as rider. but was not q success
He rode several winners. but was not as
clever as his older brother who earned
quite a reputation in the saddle as the
pilot of game little Sir Walter and many
other horses belonging to DIR. Gideon
Knapp.
"Cad's' life In the saddle was short He
became SO heavy that he was forced to
retire as a Jockey. This proved a blessing
in disguise to the young man, although he
did not regard it as such at the time and
bemoaned the fate that caused him to
give up his vocation. He subsequently SEE
cured an appointment as clubhouse agent
or messenger for several influential plung-
ers and in a short time was earning big
salary. Doggett was not content with this
to win a fortune layer.
Il can't sand being a piker,' he told his
friends, land would rather be broke al
the time than have a few thousand dollars
Either plenty or nothing for me-" So he
took the money he had saved and branched
out as a layer.
Success attended him from the start ard
for eight years he made money each sea-
son. He Is now credited with being worth
$500, GEO. Much of his winnings he invested
in real estate.
