AUGUST OPTIONS
ADVANCE SHARPLY
New Cotton Fails to Make Any
Material Advance
TEXAS WEATHER GOOD
Market Opens Steady With Higher
Prices but After Sharp Gains In
August the Market Closes
Somewhat Lower
TEXAS WEATHER GOOD

New York, August 20.-There was a sem
sational advance in the price of August
cotton today as a result of covering by
belated shorts, who found very few sell
ers around the ring, now that it is get
ting too late in the month to ship cot
ton here from the south with any certain
ty of its arriving in time for delivery.
New crop positions held back owing to re-
ports OF better weather in Texas, but
shared the August strength to some ex-
tent until near the close when realizing
caused general reactions from the top and
last prices were barely steady, net 2
points lower to SO points higher, August
being higher and other months within a
point or two of last nights finals.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of points in spite
of disappointing cables and the talk of
rains in Texas. The strength of August
seemed to dominate the situation after
the opening, however, and after selling
first at 159oc that month advanced to
1G 44c, or so points above the closing fig
ures of last night. 1t was estimated that
not more than $500 bales were purchased
on this big advance in the price, and the
talk around the ring was that foreign
and other shorts remaining in the mar
set must cover at least 10000 bales
New crop positions sold up to a net
gain of IA to 10 points in sympathy with
the August advance, and on the early pri-
vate wires, claiming that not much rain
had actually fallen In the droughty sec
lions of Texas, while the western belt
forecast suggested clearing weather over
Sunday. But later reports from Texas
indicated that the rain had been rather
more general and when the advance In
August was checked, the whole market
turned easier under realizing.
The close was at practically the lowest
figures OF the day on all positions except
August. August made new high records
for that position for the season, but the
level reached was not quite as high as
that touched by July contracts, under
similar circumstances last month.
Receipts at the ports today, 0OS6 bales,
against 4S73 last week and 2314 last year.
For the week. 10000 bales, against 4O796
last week and 36,3SS last year. Today s
receipts at New Orleans, 81 bales, against
the 81 last year, and at Houston, 1884
bales, against the 1891 last year.

COTTON IRREGULAR
DURING THE week
Prices Have Changed Very Lit
tie Either Way
CROP IS MOVING FAST
Crop Estimates Are BuIIish as Wen
a Estimates on Condition but
the Market Has Made
Little Advance

New York, August 20-In a purely
weather market prices have moved r.
regularly, influenced by conflicting re-
ports regarding the weather In Texas.
Rumors have been circulated freely of
rains in Texas, but much of the time
they have lacked confirmation. OF late.
however, scattered rains have Officially
been reported in the central and south
ern portions of that state, where they
were badly needed and though 1t is be-
lieved that the precipitation was too light
to help, there has been considerable long
liquidation and also more or less short
selling.
There are some who contend that anv
damage that the crop In Texas has sus-
tanned has been over discounted In the
price.
Reports from the eastern section of the
belt have in most cases continued to re-
port Improvement in the prospects. Some
well known and usually we'll Informed in
terests say there has been Improvement
in the situation east of the Mississippi
Meantime the movement of the crop in
the southwest is increasing and the de-
mand for actual cotton from the mills
continues small 1t is believed by not a
few that ere long the pressure of the
new crop Will have become heavy enough
to weigh down on the various markets
OF the country unless the spinning de-
mand increases materially
On the other hand the Texas crop news
has been Of a kind to encourage buying
and at times prices have rallied sharply
Very many express the opinion that the
plant in Texas was irreparably damaged
to serious degree by the protracted
drouth.
A local authority issued report on
Wednesday, the nth inst, stating the
condition as of August II of 73.2 per
cent. This showed a decline in the con-
dillon since July 20 of 80 per cent and
compared with condition of 70 per cent
last year and of 1877 two years ago
Banking interests of New Orleans issued
q crop estimate putting the yield in
Texas at only 100000 and the total crop
at 11.520.000 bales. A local crop estimate
was issued of under II 900, 900 bales.
Trade reports from various parts of
the country continue to note Improvement
In the situation. In Philadelphia and
Boston the demand for yarns has in
creased at an advance in the prices. West
ern dry goods reports have been favor
able. In the local market the demand
for various descriptions of goods has
continued to broaden.
Today there was an early decline on
further Texas rains, weakness in LIVER
pool, selling by room traders and liquida-
ton. Later q rally occurred on bulllsh
crop reports from the southwest. bull

New Orleans August 20.-Cotton flu
lures opened quiet, unchanged to
points up. Cables were about as due.
The weather map failed to give en-
couragement to either side. the Texas
cotton region getting enough rain TO
prevent talk of drouth, but at the
same time not as muck as the bears
expected. In the trading of the first
half hour of the session prices of the
more active months were first steady
at an advance of 2 to points. but
afterward fell off to level ] point
under yesterdays closing. The wealth

ness on the bear side as it predicted

week and created demand that
could not be filled by the ring. Bulls
saw this and helped the bears bid

THE MYSTERY OF
THE SARGASSO SEA

From Harper's Weekly.
: The Sargasso sea owes its existence to
the great ocean rivers that encirce it,
On the charts this huge system OF ocean
rivers forms an irregular circle In the
center of 1t Is "a great ellipse more than
looO miles east and west and 1000 north
and south. 1t is like a vast lake in the
center OF the Atlantic, but zone whose
shores are ever-moving waters instead of
stable land 1t is like the calm center
OF an immense whirlpool The far-off
oeep-sea currents that sweep around its
circumference do not disturb the stag
nant waters within its boundaries. These
weed-covered waters are forever placid.
except at rare intervals when some vag-
rant storm swoops down from the heavens
and ruffles their surface. The atmosphere
above Is usually as calm as the seas
below. The great rivers of the air, the
trade-w winds, pass this region by.
All sorts of small aquatic and insect life
nourlsh around the borders of the Sar-
gasso sea. There are numberless va
rieties of fish, moluscs, shrimps. crabs
and water feas. Almost invariably this
life takes on the protective color of the
masses of yellow weeds in which 1t lives.
Some of these inhabitants of the Sar-
gasso sea are found nowhere else. There.
is transparent shrimp that has won
droCS eyes on the end of long pedicels
These eyes are many-faceted, and each
facet sheds brilliant greenish light ard
sparkles like splendid gem. The water
feas are extraordinary also. Some are
totally blind, while others go to the OBJ
posite extreme and are nearly all eve.
Even the fishes are unique. There are
some that build nests In which to hatch
their young. They form the weed into
huge balls about the size of a Dutch
cheese. The fish binds these together
with glutinous threads which it exudes
from its body. These threads are so
strong that man cannot pull them apart
with his hands. One explorer who brought
up in net one of these fish nests found
six small fish inside.

DECLINE IN WHEAT
ON LIQUIDATION
Favorable Threshing Returns
Cause of Weakness
CASH DEMAND rs SMALL
Corn Closes Lower In Part Sympathy
With Wheat Aided by Free Offer
ings-Oats and Provisions
Also Close Lower
BY JOSEPH PRITCHARD

Chicago, August 2o.--(Special) -Liquida-
ton by longs in September wheat and
the backing away Of the buying power
seen in evidence earlier in the week
caused losses of 1A@11kc today. Besides
the heavy accumulation of stocks in all
positions in this country and the contin-
ued favorable thrashing returns from both
the spring and winter wheat sections.
there was a lack of demand for the cash
and the flour market was reported at a
complete standstill. Had not the short In
terest entered the market on the buying
side in order to secure profits, the price
break would doubtless have been sensa-
tional in character.
1t is believed that a concentrated hold
Ing of around 100000 bushels of Sep
TENDER wheat now hovers over the wheat
pit, and this is likely to prevent any TAX
ing on of long wheat until liquidation has
been most thorough.
The French crop news seems to have
been overplayed by the foreigners and
many of them having overstayed the
limit are now obliged to face sharp finan-
cial losses. News from abroad was bear
ish and foreign markets were all lower

2ac.
Cash wheat sales here today were only
$1,000 bushels, and vessel room was char
tered for like amount. The acceptances
on bids sent out on Friday night for cash
wheat were small as the bids were not
up to the market.
Partially in sympathy with the break In
wheat and largely because of the country
offerings, cash at lower prices, the corn
market closed 1asQ1%c lower. In the pit
this grain was under considerable press
ure from longs, and in addition to this
there were free offerings In the way Of
putting out short lines. 1t is expected
that the liquidation of the larger holders
of this cereal has only commenced, and
that with continued favorable crop pros
poets during the coming week the bear
element will doubtless attack the entire
structure in hammer and tongs fashion.
The principal buying today was by profit
taking shorts.
Oats were the strongest cereal In the
list, showing losses Of only 1zQ9sc for the
day. There was scattered liquidation by
longs along with further selling by cash
concerns of the near months. During the
week just closed there were 3s11 cars
No. and No. white and standard oats
inspected into this market. These receipts
are remarkably large
The entire provision list was affected by
the weakness in the grain markets, and
all slight recessions were shown for the
day. Some of the longs in pork, lard
and ribs were sellers on the early adj
vances, and the buying was led by shorts
with a sprinkling demand from investors
This buying was mainly on western pack
ing account.
The early strength gave way to weak
ness late on selling by the principal longs
in ribs. Business in cash meats and lard

LITTLE BUSINESS
IN STOCK MARKET
Price Changes Are Small in
Days Trading
HOLIDAY IN LONDON
Bank Statement Shows Large Increases
in Loans and Instead of n Gain
I'm Cash Loss Is
shown

New York. August 20.-Operations on
the stock exchange today were altogether
perfunctory and negligible. The volume
of business was rid.culously small, even
for a half-holiday, and while the tendency
continued irregular, the movement was so
narrow as to rob 1t of all significance.
London was taking a holiday and the lit
tie news from continental sources was
without bearing upon the general finan-
cial situation.
Reprts issued by the commercial agen-
cies ranged from indifferent to favorable,
some lines of trade showing better tone
with others at a standstill. From the
Pennsylvania coal districts came word of
further projected suits by the Independent
coal operators against the coal-carrying
roads and this was confirmed by the
filing of additional protests against pro-
posed freight increases with the inter-
state commerce commission.
The Northern Pacific railway submitted
Its figures for the fiscal year showing
large increases in freight and passenger
i revenues which were largely offset by
an increase of $4,000 intotal operating
expenses, the whole leaving a decrease in
total net revenues of $1,729,246, and an
operating income of $2,SoSS72. Lehigh
Valleys yearly report was rather more
satisfactory, its total revenue increasing
/ 81. s2s,ooo.
The bank statement showed large in
creases in loans both in the average and
actual tables, and under the latter sys-
tenn an expected cash gain of $5,000000 or
more was turned into a loss of over $780,
900. Last weeks surplus was reduced
from SIS 743, $50 to So, 49,, 575 but the state
ment as a whole makes more than an Or
dinarily satisfactory comparison with cor
responding periods.
The bond market was sympathetically
irregular with total sales par value of
$709, 800.
