COTTON FUTURES
MARKET VERY QUIET
Fluctuations Narrow With
Close Steady Net One
Point Higher

New York, August e4-The cotton flu
lures market was very quiet today and
fluctuations were narrow with the close
steady. net point higher to ! point down.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to points in sympathy with higher
Liverpool cables, but the market quickly
eased off under a little southern selling
on pressure here. Reports of favorable
weather over the greater part of the hetL
numerous private adviees indicating good
progress for the new crop, and large esti-
mates of the Egyptian yield from Berlin,
all figured in the arguments of sellers,
but offerings were very we'll taken at the
decline
The market later steadied on covering
for over the week end, or trade buying.
The lack of more general business was
attributed by traders to a disposition to
await the private condition reports which
are expected next week and which are
thought likely to determine final senti-
ment as to the showing of the official
figures due shortly after the reopening
/ of the market following the Labor day
recess.
Private cables attributed the steadiness
of Liverpool to a continued active trade
In Manchester.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
were 1879 bales, against 77SS bales last
week and 20.ia5 bales last year. For the
week, 100000 bales against 7l,702 last week
and $50. 936 last year. rodays receipts at
New Orleans, 49, against 296s last year.
and at Houston today, 16,7l5, against 9091a
last year.

The Value of Daytime Maps

From the Christian Herald.
Thousands of women are far too busy
ever to think of taking a nap In the day
time. They would laugh at the sugges-
ton were it made to them. When one
tells these busy women that they are
nervous and In need OF repose and that
they may preserve their youth, strength
ard charm by taking regular rests by day
light, they shake their heads and smile
with pity on the foolish advisors.
There are a great many ifs that
present themselves as obstacles of an In
superable nature when tired and busy
women try to secure intervals OF rest IN
the morning or afternoon Yet 1t IS true

Those who have the care of little chill

GAINS MODERATE
IN ALL DELIVERIES
Outlook for Large Arrivals
of Northwest Wheat
Dulls Markets Edge

Chicago. August 24.-Outlook for larger
arrivals of northwest wheat dulled the
edge of today's market, which at the
start showed fair advance. The close
was steady at Is cents from the bottom
although still at a gain of 4 to L cents
oN er final prices yesterday. Corn varied
at the close from 4 cents lower to 4,
cents higher oats finished a shade
down TO i cent up and provisions at the
last were unchanged to cents higher.
Strong foreiA ,arkets due to preva-
lenee of bad w ner abroad gave an
early up-turn to wheat. Gains were mod.
crate in all deliveries and values were
steady on the upper levels until the de-
mand subsidized. Prices then fell away
influenced by expectation of increased
crop movement.
Export business was not large and the
market was dull through most of the
session. Cash sales totaled 10000 bushels
millers doing the buying. September
travelled between s4ssd9iia cents and q
cents closing lsass cents higher at 9ia
Il cents. Outside limits for December
were 9s7s6le4 cents and a3i2 cents with
I4111 IBnfeS 70 cent DlSneT HI boSs cents
Corn displayed some firmness all day
with the usual week end covering, Dis
tant deliveries were principally in de-
mand and shippers took advantage of q
decline in cash prices.
The volume of trades was not great

LITTLE OF INTEREST
NARROW MARKET
Extreme Weakness i'm Cana
dian Pacific-General
News Encouraging

New York, August 24-Apart from the
extreme weakness of Canadian Paelhe,
which registered another severe decline
on fairly large dealings, there was little
of interest in today's narrow and dun
stock market. The selling of Canadian
Pacific was attributed to the increasing
optimism In various parts of the Dominion
to the proposed issue of new stock, to-
cether with the absence of support from
London. where a holiday was being OBJ
served.
Dealings otherwise were light and large
lv given over to some of the higher price
speeialties, including American Snuff and
Sears Roebuek, both Of which added sub
stantially to their recent steady gains.
There also was some further activity in
Mexican Petroleum and National Bis
cult at better prices though stocks of pri-
mary Importance again suffered from
: firm undertone.
General news was altogether encourag-
ing, including the weekly statements of
the mercantile agencies, brilliant crop
prospects and inccssant demand for la
Dor.
The bank statement met popular ex-
pectations by showing an actual cash loss
of Sa475,00O and decrease of ove,- IS, 000,-
600 in net deposits, which reduced re-
serves by $5.206100, leaving excess cash
reserves at SIS, 345. 900.
The bond market was steady with total
sales par value, aggregating s56s, 900.
United States government bonds were
unchanged on call during the week.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 2i.-(Special. -
There was very little business during
the two hour session, with the market
closing practically unchanged The feel
Ing Is very bearish, based on the be-
lief that tho bureau report will be a
very good one next week
Npinners are selling their goods
ahead and not buying cotton, expecting
a further decline. Thus, with the trade
looking for lower prices, there must
be a large short interest waiting Tor
the pressure of the receipts TO come
from the plantations to break prices.
