Recently, as Washington understands
II, resident OF Chicago made possible
the saving for all time Of some Of the
great trees Of California. More has
been done for the western forests than
for the eastern forests. but nearly all
that has been done in the way Of sal
vatiOn has been accomplished against
the will Of many Of the western sena-
tors and representative, who seem to
regard all woodlands as the proper
SPOIL Of the lumberman.

COTTON MARKET
 ACTIVE BUT WEAK Bigger Crop Than Usual Is Ex- pected By The Trade POOR DEMAND FOR STAPLE Speculative Leaders Are Aggressive In Selling on Bearish Crop Reports.
 Spinning Situation Is Very
 Unsatisfactory.
POOR DEMAND FOR STAPLE

New York, July 1.-The cotton market was more active today, but weaker after the opening, which was unchanged to 4 points lower, declining to level of 2 to 8 points under yesterdays close, and final- ly being steady at a net loss of to II points, with sales estimated at 15OOOO bales. The weakness was directly due to speculative conditions under which the cotton crop is maturing, with every pros pect of transcending any previous record possibly by a million bales and more. The spot buyers returned to policy of pro- crastination, thus reversing yesterdays promises, there being then and again this morning not little demand from spinners for old crop cotton. But in the afternoon this demand subsided and left the market in the hands of speculative traders who were aggressive sellers on the bearish crop reports.
 Cables were poor A German cable re- ported spinners out of the market, goods dull and general outlook poor. Liverpool cables reported the condition of the Eng fish cotton trade as very unsatisfactory. The selling was largely for Wall street and southern account, particularly m the afternoon with shorts about the only support. It was intimated however, that some pretty good houses were quietly ab- sorbing cotton.
 Receipts at the ports today SS29 bales, against 2O,497 last week and 27S last year. For the week 55,OOO bales, against 55 1883 last week and 15,SO2 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 1753 bales, against 54s last year and a, Houston 279o bales, against 1216 last year.

At the same time an advance in foreign exchange here established margin of profit on gold exports to France International bankers asserted that had gold bars been available at the assay office they would have been taken today for shipment to Paris

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, July Ion the decline in Liverpool our markets gave way after the opening but held fairly steady un- til some liquidation by Wall street op- orators forced considerable october holdings upon a market with few buy ing orders in the hands of the trade The offerings were taken by the short interest and insofar have weakened the tenure of prices. Crop reports are re- markedly good, and continue with uni- formity. The tendency is in conse- quence to oversell but the bears are confident that the present disparity between spot quotations and deliveries here will be capitalized as the pressure of the crop movement begins. Reports from Liverpool are gloomy, spinners on short time and much depressed over the outlook.

Atlanta, July '. (SpeciaD. = Forthe first time since the passage of the law by the general assembly creating six terms of court in the Atlanta circuit of the superior branch, a plea was entered today by Judge Rodgers, representing Angeline McCurdy and Warren McCurdy in which the act is declared unconstitu- tional. It is contended that the bill was not advertised 30 days before introduce tion into the legislature. Two other req sons are given. Should Rodgers conten- tion be upheld the result would probably be serious in this district as it nigh. upset a number of decisions

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, July 7.-Cotton-Spots were steady 1-16c down on all grades. Middling, 11c. Sales were 925 bales on the spot and 20 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady. l to points below the close yesterday, as a result of unfavorable advices from Liverpool, where the market was several points down. While some buying for invest ment around the opening relieved the market of absolute duness, the contin- uance of good weather, heavy receipts and a light demand for spots operated to cause the market to rule easy. There was some buying of July during the early session but more attention was devoted to the October and December options. The weekly government weather report was favorable and this also served as another bearish factor. At the close, which was steady, the active months were 1 to 9 points below the close yes terday.
