worse for drink. went through East
River Park. and was trying to con-
vince himself he could walk q straight

rising fast.
Clancy began yelling. His cries were
heard by a night Waterman on Black
wells Island. who telephoned Police
Headquarters, and soon Policeman
Mcdonald and several other men were
on tho way to the park from the East

In the meantime . fisherman on .

the cries. He ran down the river

the water dived In n supported his
head. He made no EFFORT to &c,
Clancy up tho slippery wall. which
then was twelve feet from the waters
surface. but supported him until the
police came. A rope was dropped and
the fisherman tied Il about clancey's
body. Clancy was drawn UP and the
rope dropped to the fisherman who
was then pulled to the top OF the wall.
You are q brave man." Mcdonald
said to the fisherman. and then he
asked his name. but got no satisfao-

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
BY Associated Press.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of l
point on August, but from l to 4 points
lower on later positions under scattering
liquidation or local pressure, inspired by
lower cables, less favorable reports of
the English labor situation and talk of
better weather, and while only a few
hundred bales were wanted, the price sold
up to net advance OF points during
the early trading in the absence of offer
ings. while later months fiuctuated ir-
regularly within 8 or 4 points of last
nights closing prices.
General business was quiet during the
entire morning, but the strength of Aug
ust seemed to exert some sympathetic
effect on later deliveries. While there
was no change in general news, the new
crop worked up to q net advance of 1@2
points late in the forenoon on covering of
shorts and a little buying by Liverpool.
Old crop bulls were credited with selling
August around 1880 or about IL points
net higher, supplying the demand from
scattering shorts, and the market at mid
day was quiet with the general list about
to 10 points net higher. The western
belt forecast was considered favorable,
but a good many private deterioration
reports based on recent dry hot weather
in Texas sold TO be reporting the market
and causing continued nervousness as to
the showing OF the September bureau.
The market was very quiet during
the early afternoon with August ruling
about points net higher and other
months about net unchanged to l point
higher.
Spot cotton closed quiet. 10 points
higher; middling uplands, 1910; middling
gulf. 1895. No sales.
