New York, July 31.-The Journal

tin tomorrow will say: Replies from
1,94o special correspondents of the
Journal Of Commerce and CONNER
cial Bulletin, Of an average date Of
July 20, make the percentage con-
dition Of cotton $50, the highest H..
the eleven years Of the special reports
OF this paper. This compares with
S5.9 per cent a month ago, or a rise
of l point and IT points above the
ten-year average Of 1872.
AS rule, reports were of a highly
satisfactory nature, and it is only in
North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Oklahoma that cotton has lost
from it's high condition Of last month.
The deterioration in Louisiana was

JULY CONTRACTS ADVANCE.
Market Stronger in Final Trading
for that Month.

New York, July 31.-An advance
Of practically a cent and a half a
pound marked the final trading in
July contracts in the cotton market
here today. Trading for that deliv-
cry ended at midday and shortly af-
ter IL o'clock 1t became evident that
there were few shorts still to be
covered.
The price Of July spot was IA with
uot sale, and then advanced to
1870. 1t was estimated that not more
than 1000 bales changed hands at
this advance, and with the interest
involved so small, there was no par
ticular excitement.
Later deliveries responded only
slightly to the jump in July, but
prices rallied a few points from the
low marks. which had been establish
ed at the opening. when all new
crop positions had sold around 1882,
owing to the weakness in Liverpool
and continued favorable buying.

Expect Condition of 80 Per Cent.


New Orleans, July 31.--With only
two days more before the Govern
ment figures will be issued, the To-
cal cotton rade has. about come to the
conclusion that the condition Of the
growing crop on July 25 was SO per
cent Of the normal.
Opinion concerning condition has
been slow in forming this month.
For while there was a tendency TO
look for a slight falling off because
Of the damage the drought did in the
western cotton regions. Now that 1t
has been established that practically
all the damage has been overcome by
the heavy rains that followed the
drought, the general opinion Is that
Texas and Oklahoma have about held
their own. A few people look for q
slight Improvement in Texas. In 9TH
er sections, like Louisiana, for in
stance, 1t Is acknowledge that there
has been deterioration in the con-
dition.
On the whole, the consensus OF
opinion Is that enough improvement
has occurred to make the condition
SO, as compared with $50 on the 10Th
day CT June.

CLEVELAND, o.. Aug. 8.-AI-
though the verdict of the National
league directors on the Sherwood
Magee incident has not been pro-
nounced it's a good bet the hard
hitting outfielder will be reinstat-
ed.
It's "a cinch financial considera-
ton outweighed everything else
in the minds of the magnates.
Horace Fogel president of the
Phils, put 1t up to his brother
mags that Magee's permanent
suspension was an injury to the
team and not punishment OF the
outfielder.
Horace said that In addition to
Magee, the club was minus the
services of Titus and Manager
Doom, both 800 hitters, and that
Magee ought to be reinstated to
give the team a look-in for the
Ipennant.
The league directors, minus
John T. Brush, who was too i'll to
attend the session, interviewed
witnesses and locked themselves
in for four hours to devise some
reasonable" plan to reverse
Lynch.
After the meeting 1t was an
nounced that a decision would be
forthcoming in a few days. This
means that a TRANSCRIPT of the evil
dence has been sent to Brush, for
review, so he may cast a mail
vote. When this reaches the chair
man the announcement will be
made and If it isn't that Magee
is reinstated, then the National
league magnates love a dollar a
lot less than / think they do.
Meantime Magee Is travelling
with the Phillies, which he hasn't
been doing since suspended.
Owner Charlie Taft and his
cheaters were not visible around

ace Fogel had the thinking part

ROGER BRESNAHAN.



If a woman is running the Car
dinals why is 1t Rajah Bresnahan
won't let the wives of his players
travel with the team when it's
away from home? Rajah does
that and gets away with it. saying
that the women folks have. too d.
verting an influence.
So If there's any chivalry in the
matter it's because Rajah has for
a boss a woman who doesn't yell
down stairs and tell him what to
do every five minutes.
Bresnahan has an assistant on
his team. His name is Cy. His
last name is Chology. Rajah
uses psychology on his ball play
ers-aIthough he's never been to
college and probably isn't certain
in his mind as to what psychology
means. At any rate, he has the
