Following the parade the judges met
and decided upon the winners. It was
no easy task for them to decide as all
the floats presented fine appearance.
The following is summary of the
judges decision: Best appearing float:
NJ. Block, first prize; Glattly Lumber
Company, second prize. For the most
comical float the prize was awarded to
the Ramblers. M. Blocks float being
the winner deserves special mention.
1t was rather an historical float en-
!blematical of the nations birthday. A
large bell of flowers represented the
old liberty bell whose tones have
echoed around the world and will con.
tinue to do so for ages. Surmounting
this was an eagle, another emblem of
liberty. Washington's picture was
given prominent position amid q
bower Of roses. The front wheels were
covered with the picture of large
diamond which bore the inscription
diamonds Are Trumps," and on the
back wheels was represented large
clock with the words IN. Block, The
Jeweler, Always on Time" The nat
ional colors we're freely di splayed
Orlean Smith was the little lady who
drove this beautiful float and both the
float and lady we're prize winners.
All together the parade was by far
the best ever seen in the Hills and the

has been given them BY the many visi-

the parade, the crowds assembled at
the city park where the forenoon pro-
gram was carried out. hon. 8. E.

Declaration OF Independence in his
usual pleasing manner. Congressman

we're held on River avenue opposite

ments to support the market here in the event of weakness proved uncalled for. The market, in fact, never touched the price levels at which these conditional buying orders were placed.
 The resistance showed by prices had the effect of restoring to full play the feel ing of confidence in the good prospect for general business It was felt that the removal of the dread of shock from this deplored death would bring investors who had been dissuaded from taking se- curities by the dread of its effect. An advance in the price of steel bars during today by the United States Steel corpora ton, which brought it back to the level of before the February cut, was factor in the rise in that stock to new record price. Prospects of a heavy decrease in the cash reserves in the banks this week were ignored, and the stock market maintained it's aggressive strength up to the end Gains of 2 to over points were quite general and Union Pacific ended the day 121s points higher than last nights close.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 10-(Special.)- Again Liverpool reports large sales to Lancashire spinners who appear to be satisfied to buy on declining markets as well as on advancing ones. In other words they are influenced by the demand for goods and the prospective short crop while here the trade is looking for the south to depress the markets by pressing a short crop for sale at present prices Advice is everywhere offered that the market will decline as the receipts come in regardless of the ultimate yield. These are the reasons that the markets appear to be working on different lines of thought and action.
 Today the undertone has been steadier than yesterday as the sharp decline of the past two days liquidated a large amount of long cotton held in Wall street, but there was little interest for an advance, though the crop continues to lose ground west of the Mississippi from continued heat and drouth
 Liverpool should advance 2 points to- morrow

BULLS RALLY IN SUPPORT

New York, September 10.-An early de- cline In the cotton market was followed by sharp reaction but the advance was not fully maintained. the close being steady, net unchanged to points higher.
 The market opened at decline of to points and sold to points lower dur ing the first few minutes under lower Liverpool cables, renewed liquidation aud bear pressure. But Wall street lioulda- tion, which had been apprehended, did not develop; the stock market showed firmness and the decline to 12. .29c for De- cember, or 51 points below the highest price of Wednesday, attracted a good deal of covering. This steadied the market and as soon as prices started to rally bulls became more aggressive and the market curing the afternoon sold up to a net gain of to 15 points. The advance was led by October and was encouraged by numerous southern wires claiming that ln- terior holders were not following the de- cline in futures and reports of better demand from eastern spinners. Realizing by early buyers for a turn checked the advance and the market later sold off several points from the best under a re- newal of bear pressure.
 Receipts at the ports today 35,130 bales, against 17,672 last week and 29,142 last year. For the week 600 bales, against ,S32 last week and 12S,S29 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans TIA bales against 1881 last year. and at Houston 10,404 bales. against 7Os7 last year.
