COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August 16.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline of one
point to an advance of one point. There
was big business on the call, but sellers
seemed rather the more aggressive, and.
following private reports of showers in
Texas active months broke to a net loss
of 9a12 points. Liverpool was better than
due early, but declined sharply toward
the hour of the local opening, with the
later cables 91s to 10 points lower. Private
crop accounts received early were of a
raher bullish average, indicating rapid de-
terioration in southwestern prospects. but
appeared to be offset by the reports of
lower temperatures and showers.
Leading bull and trade interests came
to the support of prices on the early
break, and, with smaller traders nervous.
prices rallied to nearly the closing fig
ilres of yesterday. but continued reports
of improved conditions in the southwest,
together with continued southern selling
orders, caused renewed weakness late in
the forenoon, and prices were only two or
three points up from the lowest at mid
day.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Liars. :"

An Englishman's view Of English So
ciety is the quintessence OF the four-act
comedy, THE LARS which the CO.
lumbia Players will present at the CO.
lumbia Theater for a week beginning
next Monday evening. 1t is by Henry
Arthur Jones. and is one Of the sue
cesses of John Drew Mr. Drew had with
him when the play was produced at the
Empire Theater. In New York. COM
pany that included Orrin Johnson, Ar
thur Byron, Elizabeth Tyree, Annie irish
and Isabel Irving
From the woman's point of view the
play Is interesting in that it forcefuliy
discloses the possible results following
the practice of husbands devoted to their
wives. who display their love and affec-
ton by jealousy rather than by the ca
ress. The comedy is bright and inter-
esting, and the dialogue crisp and snappy.
The title Of the play is derived from
the friendly efforts Of several well In
tenttoned people to save foolish mar
ried woman from the threatened corse-
quences Of her indiscretions. The play
will be handsomely mounted and pro-
duced with the care that marked the
original production.
THE Liars will again afford Miss
Nelson and the other ladies of the COM
pany the opportunity to display their
taste in dress, which has been SO marked
a feature of all previous society Offer
ings by the Columbia Players.
