THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, August 27.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady at decline of

Sterling Exchange Heavy.

The sterling exchange market was heavy,
and the tendency there believed to re-
fleet in part sales OF exchange predicated
upon he likelihood that a considerable por-
ton OF the new city loan would be placed in
Europe. Little attention was accorded to
tOday's shipment to Europe of SJOO,O in
gold, as il was recognized that the trans
action was of a special character. and at
any rate had little or no relation to actual
conditions in the foreign exchanges.
For the most part transactions in par

acter. and the dealings We're largest in the

BULLS AND BEARS


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 27.-Stock market
observers who have looked into the sltua-
ton most carefully say that without ques-
tion no attempt should be made at this
time to advance stocks, but that. on the
contrary. the market should be allowed to
remain quiet at about present prices Not
only will the available funds be needed to
handle the general business Of the coun-
try. but very considerable amount will be
required to take care Of enterprises which
were started about two years ago. and for
the securities Of which there has been prac
tically no market in the meantime. If the
facts could be obtained it would be found
that many large financial interests which
quietly subscribed to the securities Of this
class Of enterprises. have been required
TO put up very large amount Of money
IN the aggregate to keep them going. 1t
will be necessary for them to continue this
process until the demand for standard secu-
rites 1s far greater than it is at the pres
ent time.
IT the facts could be obtained 1t would
probably be found also that a considerable
amount Of standard investment securities,
scme of which have not changed hands for
many years, have been sacrificed to raise
ready money for the uses just Indicated
1t Is known that in some cases offerings
or standard securities have been made with
out single bid being received. Obviously
the interests which are compelled to raise
money in this way to take care of semi
private enterprises will not be in a position
to enter the market speculatively on a large
scale In the near future Consequently
conservative students of the situation not
only believe that there will be dearth Of
money for speculative purposes BIT also an
absence of inclination on the part of those
VINO have been important factors in pre-
vious bull markets.
In banking circles the remark was fire.
quently made yesterday that too much i'm
portance could not be attached to Secretary
Cortelyou's plan for relieving the money
market and that he should be highly COM
mended for his action. 1t is believed that
the benefits. both sentfmentally and ac-
tually. Will be realized more fully a little
later on than they are now.

that the loan would he successfully float

NEW YORK. August 27.-The chief fea-
turr OF the stock market during the fore
noon session was the unusually heavy pur
chases Of securities for foreign account, the
buying Of this description being variously
estimated at between :0GC1 and 10000
Fhares. These transactions were for both
Eng 'ish and continental account. The Lon
don stock market itself was described as
being fairly buoyant on the easier none
tary conditions there; and another stated
influence in Its course was the sharp re-
covery in the New York market yesterday.
During the period In which the foreign
purchases were being conducted. the local
stock market ruled steady on almost iden-
ticaIlv the same volume of business that
was transacted in the same time yesterday.
Shortly after midday, however. prices re-
acted in all directions. and during the re-
mainder of the business session the deal
ings were characterized by great irregu-
lar!ty of movements.
There was nothing particularly definite
TO he cited in connection with the reversal
in the markets form after the noon hour.
At all events. the day was pleasantly free
from the malign rumors which Were in
such persistent circulation yesterday. and
there were no changes in the money mar
ket on the other fundamental features of
the situation which could be named as ac-
counting for the reaction.

Railway Dividend Prospects.

Doubtless the C,ose approach of the pc
Rod for the declaration of the dividends
on the Erie preferred shares tended to re-
strict speculative animation and it was
again the case that the dividend prospects
for New York Central came in for a good
deal of discussion. The somewhat marked
weakness in the United States Steel shares
was probably a further factor III the weak
eninR of the market.
The irregularty of the latter did not.
however, stand in the way of the further
execution of buying orders a consider
able scale for small lots of stock, and it Is
now generally recognized that II is the
buying of this description that has been
the most efIiCacious factor in preventing
the stock market from having shown even
greater appearance of grave unsettlement
than have been already witnessed.

Wind Causes Damage to Factory and
Cemetery.

Davenport, Jan. 22.-The high wind
blew down one of the immense iron
smoke stacks at the Glucose works,
blowing it over into the adjacent
cemetery, where it broke number of
headstones.
The terrific force of, the wind was
shown by the manner in which the
massive stack was ripped from its
moorings, breaking out quite a sec
ton Of wall in falling, and several Sec
tons of it being carried east into the
cemetery. There it fortunately fell
mainly in the pathway, so that the
havoc there, in the peaceful city of
the dead, was less than it would
otherwise have been.
Quite costly bill of repairs will be
entailed by the accident. and it will
probably delay for some days the
opening of the plant, which was to
have followed the Identification and
improvement Of the factory that has
been in progress for some months.

Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, Jan. 21.-Held by the po-
lice for investigation, while his wife's
funeral was being held. was the un-
happy situation in which William Nash
found himself Saturday. Mrs. Nash
passed away in the University hospt-
tai, the authorities supposing that her
husband was dead. She had gone
there to have an operation performed.
She had no money, and told the hospi-
tai people she was a widow. Her hus-
band, Will Nash, was working on a
farm near here. He learned of his
wife's condition Thursday and tele-
phoned Iowa City. He was told that
Mrs. Nash was dead
Attic Nash and his wife were not
living together for some time before
her death, he took the first train for
Iowa City. His surprise was great
when he learned that his wife had told
the authorities that her husband was
dead. But the woman was still dear
to him. So rather than have any re-
Election cast on the fair name OF his
dead wife, he allowed the statement she
made to be accepted as true. He mas
queraded under the name OF his broth
er, George Nash. He paid the hospi-
tai bills and the undertaken, and
bought a casket. Then he came back
to Waterloo to get dress out of her
trunk to be used as burial robe.
He supposed that his wife had told
people here that he was dead, and
continued to use the name Of George
Nash. His stories caused suspicion,
for some Of the people knew George
Nash. The police were notified and
he was arrested and held pending in
vestigation.

While Some Features of the Law Are
Open to Criticism, Association De-

New York, Jan. 22-Because OF re-
ports sent to the press of the country
that the National Wholesale Cirocers'
Association was instructing dealers
how to evade the new pure food law,
and was not in favor of its enforce
ment, the association has issued
statement, which is being sent to all
its members. In this circular the as
sociation declares it has been misrep-
resented. The circular, which Is self
explanatory, follows:
To Members. Gentlemen: mas
much as the attention of this office has
recently been directed to articles APP

papers turnout the country, and also
in some trade journals, which misrep-

quoting bulletin No. l. issued from this
office under date of December 3, 1906,
it Is imperative that all members
should use their influence to correct the
misstatements and misrepresentation
which have been made.
1.-The National Wholesale Grocers
Association is using its best efforts to
keep Its members fully advised as to
the exact requirements OF the national
pure food law, yet several newspapers
and trade journals seem to convey
ooptror,r idoa fo tho rilhlic
You should carefully read bulletin
No. /. You will find that the bulletin
contains no advice which does not
conform to the law and to the regu-
lations.
THE false impressions given out by
the press in some sections of the coun-
try should be the personal concern OF
every member Of the association, and
your best effort should be used to correct
them thru the columns of your local
newspapers and trade journals.
Every member Of this association
should understand that every state
ment made in association bulletin No.
l, and in every circular. letter or bull
letin sent out by this association. Is
based upon the national pure food law
and the government regulations pub.
lished hereunder, aod upon food in
spection decisions published from time
to time by the bureau of chemistry Of
the department Of agriculture.
This association appreciates the
beneficial and willing cooperation OF
various government officers, In inter-
preting and informing us regarding the
many different questions raised by the
various provisions of the law and the
regulations.
"This association has never misrep-
resented or misquoted any official or
unofficial ruling or statement made by
the government, as to the operation OF
the law or the regulations.
"The National Wholesale Grocers'
is not only interested in.
but is using its best efforts with Its
members, to have the national pure
food law enforced exactly as it is in
tended by the department OF agricul-
ture, and any statements to the con-
trary are Misrepresentation and err
oneous. Yours very truly,
