NEW DESIGN FOR NlCKFLs.
viii Show Buffalo On One Sue,
Indian On the Other.

Washington.-The design of the s.
cent piece which has been jingling in
the pockets of American citizens for
many years does not coincide with the
Treasury Departments conception of
art and it will be changed in its en-
tirety. Secretary MacNeagh has de-
cided to replace the Goddess of Lib
cry on the face of the nickel with a
buffalo. The reverse side of the new
coin will show the head of an Indian.
J. W. Fraser, of New York, is making
the design in collaboration with Off
Gals of the Treasury Department.

Squeezing China and Others

From the Boston Transcript.
 Much of Manchuria is undeveloped, and the production of its development would necessitate freedom of trade with all na- tions. Furthermore, and this is a point that Japanese writers impress upon their readers, Russia is doing something in Mon golia which points to more or less thinly disguised conquest. Other powers are sus- pected of seeking to pick IT. valuable pieces of broken China. Great Britain is accused of preparing to absorb Tibet. Such being the case. or thought to be the case, many Japanese besides Dr. Tomizu must be inclined to insist that if Japan is not permitted to make most of the opportu- nity now offered other nations will not hesitate to avail themselves Of the oppor- tunity Japan lets pass by All this dis cussion may foreshadow l quiet pairing down of the Celestial republic. which has so many problems on its hands that it is not likely to find time or resources to antagonize acquisitions by Russia or Ja- pan, in territories over which Russia and Japan in effect are exercising actual su- preme authority.

COTTON CLOSES
 OFF9T0 APPOINTS
Market Breaks Under. Re newal of General Selling
 After Irregular Day

New York, August 20.-After some what nervous and irregular, but gener- ally higher morning, the cotton market broke under renewal of general sell ing and closed easy at net decline of from to 12 points.
 The market opened steady at decline of 1 point to an advance of points and during the first few minutes sold about to points net higher on renewal of yesterdays late buying movement. en- couraged by steady late cables and re- ports of continued dry weather.
 Predictions for showers in the southwest promoted selling on the advance and the market during the middle of the morning reacted to a shade under the closing fig ures of yesterday. There did not seem to be much southern selling on this de- cline, however and prices turned firmer toward midday on renewed covering or buying by reactlonists who considered that the short interest had been over extended and that the technical posi- tion of the market justified more sub stantial recovery.
 Active months sold up to a net ad- vance or aDout lZ points on tnlS uefnunu, but after the publication of the weekly weather report turned easier again with the market weak and unsettled In the late trading under heavy selling by some of the leading trade interests, part of which was attributed to southern hedging. The close was at practically the lowest point Of the day. There were rumors during the morning that Texas was offering cot ton little less freely at lower basis but Liverpool attributed the failure of the market to fully respond to yesterday s local advice to hedge selling and reports were received there late in the day that some of the Texas shippers were asking for bids.
 There was again considerable talk of mill buying on declines, but gossip quite generally attributed most of today's early demand to shorts or reactionists and pre- dictions of favorable condition report.

New York. August 20.-Coppers const- tated the biggest bulk of today's dealings in tho stock market with a spiinkling of Speculative favorites and the more stand ard securities were relatively quiet and narrow of movement
 Inquiry for ooppers was traceable in part to trade advices which point to a renewal of last springs good demand, tos gether with rumors of probable increase in certain copper dividends and pros poets of higher prices for the metal it. self.
 The railway list as a whole did not fig tne prominently in the days business Reading and Lehigh Valley were under less restraint than earlier in the week, but Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific were again inclined to react moderately Obscure railers such as Wheeling and Lake Erie and Toledo, St. Louis and Western were somewhat active, but failed to stim- 1late demand in others of the same group.
 In a comparative sense United States steel was the serverest of the industrials this being the more prominent by reason of the better tone displayed by the shares of its independent competitors, notable in the steels.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, La, August 20.-Cotton futures opened steady, ? points up to points down, compared with the last prices of yesterday. Cables were about as expected, The weather map was called favorable. as practically no rain was noted in the belt Bulls pointed out that drouthy conditions were still being com plaiDed of in portions Of Texas A moderate degree of buying imme- diately after the call put prices 8 to 5 points over yesterdays close. On this small rise short selling, based on the forecast of unsettled weather in west Texas and Oklahoma, caused the market to drop. With the end of the first half hour prices were 2 to points under yes- terday's close.
 From the middle of the early session the list was very steady and prices had a tendency to advance slowly. Shorts grew nervous over the steady feeling that developed on the advance These oper- ators increased their purchases. Lack of rain in Texas and talk of August de- terloration stimulated buying. The pur- chases were moderate. Offerings became very sparse. On very quiet market prices advanced until at midday they were slightly over yesterdays close
 In the afternoon heavy selling was in progress. Rumor said that a large short line was being closed out. In the trading up to within half hour of the close prices went IA points under yesterdays close.

WHEAT MAINTAINS FAIRLY FIRM TONE
Listless Market With Close From a Fraction to c
 Higher

Chicago. August 20-Wheat today main tained fairly firm tone throughout listless market, ceasing from fraction to Aa higher Corn finished near the top. September leading with final figures, reading ?G1c up.
 Oats were generally firm and closed a shade down to 4c higher and provisions finished from 10@25c lower. Alternating between strength and weakness at differ ent periods the wheat market kept within narrow limits and displayed some firm ness. Weakness of cash demand and negligible investment buying were offset by short covering on limited spots when prices fell away.
 Weaker cables were apparently ignored. December closed SGa4c higher at 92zc. moving between 92ssq92sc and 9214c. May finished 1sda4c up at the highest of the day. Cash demand and strength of the September delivery overcame the selling pressure on distant month corn and helped the entire list.
 Cash sales were 26ooOo bushels. septem- Der moved between 6s4c and 7e%c and closed 1c higher at 70Ssc.
 December was more of sedative and finished ?q1sc up at 5sssQ53slc. It travelled from 5314d5Ssac. Number yellow was quoted at 791kmS0c. Export demand helped oats' values and the market ruled firm from the start. Export sales of 600.00o bushels were reported out of a total sales of 7l5000 bushels. December closed un- changed at 32ss or 1sc beneath the high roint and September finished at it's high est. Lard was freely sold. Other pro- visions features fell. January trares were the feature.

Hubbard Bros. Co.'s Letter

New York. August 20.-tSpecial. Continued dry weather in southern and central Texas brought in many buying orders, which carried prices up some 12 points over last night Then came predictions of probable rain in the Par Handle tonight from New Orleans and under the weight of new selling the market declined some 10 points below last evening.
 This shows the very bearish feeling pervading the trade: fl Is the predom- inant factor though the continued dry weather is bringing 10 light lower esti- mates of the Texas yield of cotton.
 The feeling tonight is very bearish and lower prices are looked for to- morrow. There arc many shorts and very few longs: the. contracts seem to be held by spinners.
 Liverpool Is due to come about , points down insthe morning.
