New Orleans, August 29.-Cotton fu-
lures opened steady unchanged TO :
points down. Cables were not up to
expectation and the opening of August
the spot month. at a loss of 10 points,
was in strange contrast to the sensa-
tional rise of that option in the New
York market. After the call the mar
ket strengthened on lack of rain in
Texas over Sunday and the strength
displayed by the bulls in New York
nervous shorts doing most of the buy
ing. although the forecast favored them
as it predicted showers in Texas to-
night. At the end of the first half
hour of trading the more active months
were to points over Saturdays
closing. August stood "a points down.
The extremely large movement of
new cotton in Texas. in which receipts
to date at Galveston We're placed at
99,992 bales, was against the market
particularly so because it was followed
by rumors that Texas was underselliug
the eastern states In the cotton eoun-
try and prices fell off toward the mid
die of the mornink. Bulls offered no
support on the decline and the more
active months lost S to . points from
their highest levels. Trading was mod
crate in volume and chiefly profess
sional in characters the outside public
showing bewlderment over the situa-
ton. At noon the market was quiet
at a slight recovery on buying for
covers by shorts the trading months
standing l point under to / point over
Saturdays closing.
In the afternoon session the mar
ket was steady on a good demand fer
covers fro mshorts. Prices rose a few
points, standing 3 to points up net
at 2 o'clock.
The close was steady at n net ad-
vance of to points on the new crop
months and a net decline of AZ points
on August.

AMERICANS SELL
STREET CAR LINE

Bogota. Columbia, August 29.-Fear-
ing that international complications
would ensue from the continued at
tacks of the populace on the bogota
City Railway company, an America4
concern which has a franchise from the
Colombian government to operate a
street car service in the capital, the
municipality Of Bogota has bought the
company, paying 100000 for it, The
national assembly, strongly opposed the
granting of the necessary application
for the franchise.
The concession, which was given the
company during the presidency of Gen
eral Reyes. was always an unpopular
one with the people of Bogota, and
their resentment several times reached
such a pitch that the cars were stoned
and the company was compelled to sus-
pend operations.
Recently the line was boycotted b.
the people of the city.

SLIGHT DECLINE IN
PRICE OF WHEAT
Foreign Influences are Gener-
ally Bearish
CASH DEMAND QUIET
Corn In Slow With Lite Disposition to
Sell But the Close Is a Trifle
Lower-Oats Close Lower and
Provisions Irregular

Chicago, August 29.-Exporters of wheat
asserted that foreign bics today were not
50 good as on Saturday. although every
European market, Budapest excepted,
was higher Nearly the entire list Of
other influences bore downward, and the
close was at net loss of A4asc. Corn
finished 1aQssc to &c lower than at the
end of last week. Oats off A@3sc. Corn
provisions 2Hc down to 111zc up.
Elevators were good buyers of Septem-
Der wheat as it was being liquidsted by
miscellaneous longs. The purchasers
meanwhile sold freely for December. Sell
ers had in mind increase in the visible
supply, the primary receipts, the world
shipment and in supplies of ocean pas
sage. Figures as to the last named item
were almost 100000 bushels larger than
year ago. Cash inquiry improved lit
tie today, but sales TO millers were very
small, a few scattered cars. In con-
trast with this fact, Chicago wheat
stocks increased 100000 bushels for the
week and are now 5,915,000 bushels. Near
the end of the session the selling side re-
celved additional recruits, who made the
final tone easy Fluctuations in the De-
cember option had Its limits, $10S%Ql .o444
with the last sales at s1.04 to 81 .04q1 O4ls,
a decline of 14@3sc to sc compared with
Saturday.
Corn was an extremely SLOW affair. The
country showed a disposition TO sell
whenever there was IL trace of a hard
spot. December ranged from SIC to 5s1ac
with the close ssc@4c net lower at 57as@
57Ac.
In oats cash concerns sold the deferred
months at a steady widening premium
over September. Account was taken Oh
the fact that the visible supply exhibited
a huge gain. December touched 1878 and
aessc as high and low respectively and
finished &c down at the last named price:
shorts and packers were fair buyers OF
provisions today. At the wind up pork
had risen 21k@5c; lard, 21sd121ac and ribs

New York. August 29.-The extraor-
binary advance in cotton was the most
widely discussed topic on the primary
cotton goods market today but as the
leap upwards was purely speculative, the
matter was not regarded seriously. The
demand for spot goods continues, and
some fair-size lots of staple cottons were
taken off the market by jobbers. Dress
goods were little more active, but the
call is still for small quantities of fall
merchandise. Japan raw silk was a trifie
easier.

Hubbard Bros. d Co.'S Letter

New York. August 9.-(Special. 1.-The
furry in August today, due to the de-
mand from belated shorts and the re-
sulting squeeze to the extreme figure of
20 cents. was the main and almost the
only feature of the trading, which, apart
from this. lacked animation Business
was moderate in new crops and August
advanced, but rallied later No new fea-
lures were shown in crop combinations
and the southwest is making a strong eff
fort to market the early receipts at
present prices.
Manchester reports were better, and
there were rumors that there is an ex-
tensive Liverpool short interest in Au-
gust. Outside indifference to the market
is a discouraging feature and the trade
expects stimulus from the coming bu-
reau report.

New York, August 29.-The market for
coffee futures opened steady at a decline
of l point on March, but 1Q2 points high
err on other positions, which were in
f1uenced by continued outside buying
the strength of the Brazilian markets and
private cables from Brazil reporting that
the continued drought was hurting the
prospects for the new crop. European
markets were somewhat reactionary,
however, and while early offerings here
were well absorbed, the market eased off
in the later trading under heavy realiz-
ing, believed to be for western account
and European selling The close was
steady at a net decline of SOLO points.
Sales were reported at $1,000 bags.
