New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, July 2S.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of ! to 3
points. Gables were slightly lower than
due and some little liquidation from the
long side was in evidence. Shorts were
the best buyers In the early trading and
their purchases were heavy enough to
cause a small reaction. First prices were
the lowest up to the end of the first half
hour of business. At the end of that
time the new crop months were 1 to 2
points over yesterdays close. The old
crops were neglected. The weather map
was dry and was called very favorable,
but little trading was based on It, The
attention of the trade was centered on
the political situation in Europe.
Toward the middle of the morning SELL
ing orders increased until the ring was
roaring with business. Prices gave ground
fast under the pressure, not hesitating
until October was selling around IL .05.
Here profit-taking by shorts was heavy
for time, but sufficient cotton was of
fered to more than supply the demand
and finally there was a break which car
ried both October and December through
the 11-cent level and down to 1897 Janu-
airy landed at HOO cents. On this de-
cline, reactionists iquidated considerable
cotton. Profit taking by shorts became
general and the demand from this direc-
ton finally became more than the ring
could supply with the result that the
market reacted. At noon prices were 7
to Is points up from the lowest, but still
to 10 points down from yesterdays
close. At the lowest Of the morning the
more actice months were II to 81 points
under yesterdays last quotations.

Chicago, July 2S.-With the Morocco

and with increasing anxiety concerning
the lack of rain throughout the greater

carefully the decline in British consols

lighter world shipments than had been
looked for. Export demand and a spread
of black rust were also counted as helps
to the bulls. The market opened the

EXHIBIT IS ON
THE INCREASE
PAST DAY OR TWO A
NUMBER OF ESPECIALLY FINE
SPECIMENS HAVE BEEN RE-
CEIVED, WHILE MANY OTHERS
ARE EXPECTED IN NEAR FUTURE

Within the past day or so q num-
Der of splendid additions have been
made 10 the agricultural exhibit in
the offices of the Pensacola Interstate
Fair Association, to say nothing of the
numerous promises of parties who
will contribute articles a little later.
Interest in this feature is certainly in
creasing daily and General Manager
Lillard says that he is receiving more
inquiries in regard to the exhibit than
he ever had any idea of when the
project was started few weeks ago.
Among the recent articles added 10
the collection are a number Of extra
fine specimens of peppers of several
different varieties which were sent IN
to Manager Lillard by Mrs Suggs, of
Gonzalez. These peppers compare IA
vorably with any Of those now on ex-
hibition in the Office, which is saying
a good deal.
Some splendid sweet potatoes and
corn have also been sent in by Halle
hurst Farm people. This farm, which
is only a mile and half from the city,
is owned by the McDavid- Hyer Co.
The potatoes now on exhibit were
planted on April LIST, and the speci-
mems in the exhibit are very fine ones
The corn has four and five ears to the
stalk, not a stalk in the collection,
which consists Of a number of stalks,
has less than four ears.
Besides those mentioned a number
of other agricultural products have
been added within the past doy or
two.

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
BY Associated Press.

New York, July 2S.-The cotton market
opened barely steady at an advance of
points on July, decline of IS points on
August and from to points on later
months, which were influenced by con-
tinued southern selling, scattered liquida-
were pretty we'll divided. The circula-
ton CT few notices seemed to be hav-
ing no depressing effect on the near
months and the new crop rallied slightly
on covering. but toward the middle of
the morning, offerings became very heavy
and general Recent buyers for a reac-
ton seemed to be giving up all hope of
an immediate improvement in prices and
the market broke under heavy liquidation
as well as continued bear pressure with
every month on, the list making new low
records and with the new crop selling
we'll under the II Ia level.
Before midday October and December
contracts sold off to 11.0S and January
to 1103, or very close to the 11-cent
level predicted by the large bears earlier
in the week and even at this decline of
about 22023 points from the closing
figures of last night, there was barely
enough buying to steady the market, ow-
ing to the continued heavy general SELL
ing. Old crop positions were relatively
dull and steady and August sold about
13 points net lower.
Rather a steadier tone developed dur
ing the afternoon as result of covering
and prices rallied some IL or Is points
from the lowest on the new crop months.
But there seemed to be little confidence
in any sustained advance, owing to the
continued selling for southern accounts.
and there was plenty of cotton offering
above 11.20 for the new crop months.
