was punished with death, like that of
free man. The exposure of infants
carried severe penalty. nor was

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-As might be
expected in a short market, the ante.
bureau evening-up process has cOntin,
ued a steadying influence and Texas
advices received of a somewhat bull.
ish nature have contributed to the
stubbOrnness of the situation. Pri
vate crop estimates issued average
around 1312 TO 76. Though realizing
that reports from unofficial sources
have been over the government re-
ports all this season, the trade is less
optimistic and the averages of y mem
bers of the local exchange is 74.2 for
Tuesdays bureau. 1t is an open ques-
ton as to whether a government fig
ure of G4.2 on the reduced acreage
against 1872 at this time last year
would be construed as bearish, as
even granting that recent good wea
ther has overcome in great measure
the lateness of the crop, it must be ad
mitted that an early frost date would
prove more serious than in an average
year Leading spot interests and their
following continue bearish. but the
main influence at the moment against
the market looks to be found in the
lack of urgent demand for early ship
ment of new cotton
