Face 10 face in the city, but never the face of a friend; Till my heart grows sick with longing and dazed with the din of the street, As l rush with the thronging thousands in loneliness complete. Shall l not know my brothers? Their toll is one with mine We offer the fruits of our labor on the same great citys shrine They are weary as l am weary; they are happy and sad with me; And all of us laugh together when even ing sets us free. Face to face in the city, and where shall eur fortunes fall? Face to face in the city-my heart goes out to you all se', we labor together; is not the bond divine? Lo' the strength of the city is built of ycur life and mine.

COTTON LETTER.


By Private Wire to c. G. Abercrombie &
 Co.,, 32 Commerce St.
 New Orleans, Aug. 7.-The early morning market scored an advance of about ten points, October selling at 12 A. on continu- ance of dry. hot weather in Texas and fore cast for fair weather tonight and Thursday west of the Mississippi river. The weak ness, which developed in Wall Street. how ever, induced liquidation by longs in cotton and values suffered a reaction of about 13 points. October selling as low 12. 30, finally closing g Q3s against 12 33 at the close of yesterday.
 Liverpool was much better than looked for and spots were in better demand. sales 10, 900 bales. There was every reason to pect further improvement today and for the advance to be maintained the wealth CT bureau reports showed another hot wave to have made its appearance in the South west. the average maximum temperature for districts of New Orleans Memphis and Little Rock and Oklahoma averaging 96 while that of Galveston. which covers prac- tically the whole cotton zone of Texas. av- eraged 9s degrees, as high as 1t has been at any time this year. and there was no rain in the State except a trace at Taylor, while the district of Oklahoma remained rainless. Not for ten days since the break ing of the last hot spell, have so many re- ports of excessive heat and droughty condi- tions doing damage to the crop been re- ceived. especially from the southern half of Texas. the suffering area having expanded until central Texas is beginning to com plain.
 The unsettled state of affairs In the security markets. states rights Vs trusts and corporations. and indirectly the Fed eral Government will rebound to the bene- fit of the masses and anything tending to better the condition of the people as whole can only be reflected in confidence made more implicit by such sitting of affairs now going on in the courts. It is probable that Europe will be more concerned to the progress of the cotton crop in America than to developments in Wall Street. which. in sense is only local after all. The best that can be looked for outside of Texas and the Indian Territory. according to current ideas is for a crop of not more than an average yield say s.000,0O bales. Therefore 1t is left to Texas and the Territory to provide $500 900 bales in order to bring the total crop up to 12,5Oo,000.. the requirements of the world. As yet. however. there are many who doubt that either of the two sec tions will make much cotton as the trade requires.
 There appears to be ap urgent demand for new crop cotton because of the need of white cotton. Galveston is Ac higher for new receipts, or 13Ac for middling. and dispatches from San Antonio report buyers paying 13Ac for average arrivals. Yours truly,
 C. G. ABERCROMBIE co.
