NetO Orleans Report

New Orleans, Sept 2.--(special )-Tomor- <ow-s Timas Democrat will say:

 Lixerpoors attitude was less bearish than Tuesday afternoon.

 In July last reports suggested that the.

 In the abstract. bears argue that bulls are unduiy influenced by the decline of four cents during the past tweleve months. and bulls argue that the bearish dream of an of an early return to old time price con- froi Is not warranted by existing conditions.

EFFECTS OF EARLY SEASON
 SHOWN IN HEAVY RECEIPTS
xecal Farmers Heard Cheerfully News of
 Future Advances.

No great activity marked trading in the local market yesterday, although number of small lots of cotton changed hands. The season is fully two weeks ahead of that of last year and receipts corresponding N greater. The quality of the staple is good. ranging from middling to strict mid- dling with the latter grade probably pre- dominating. Average quotations yesterday were: strict middiing Ac; middling S%c. The influence of the monthly government report upon the local market has been ap- Darentiy ineligible.
 Anticipation that the cotton crop would be materially benefited by the cool wealth CT recently experienced has failed of reaiiz- atien and farmers report only slight im- provement fin crop conditions. Following the intense heat which prevailed throughout fhig section for several weeks, the coool spell was considered most favorable to the developement of the plant The cffct ex- Nected has not yet however. been felt.
 Futures "came back" yesterday and clos cd ten points in advance of the figures for the day preceding. The market had suf- 4ered depression previously despite the elfghtly buliish tendency of the government report recently issued.

Gov. Johnson Said to Have Made Up
His Mind Not to Permit Use
of His Name.

Willis j. Abbott, who is the Wash

Dental boom, reported to a group of
correspondents yesterday that he had,
received a telegram from Gov. John
son in which he declared that if Bry
an was to be candidate for the nomi
nation at Denver, he, Johnson, did
not purpose standing in the Nebras-
kan s way.
This is taken in Washington to.
mean that as soon as the Bryan band
wagon gets started. Governor John
son will climb aboard, thus defeating
the plans of the eastern conservatives
who have wanted him to lend himself
to movement to prevent Bryan from
getting two-thirds of the convention

has served notice on the democratic

the race.
