CRACKSMEN BLOW SAFE
 AND GET MANY JEWELS

New York, July 17-Cracksmen took jewelry valued at between $2O,- 900 and $30,000 early today after blowing a safe in the jewelry supply house of ROpenberg & Daniel. A large vault containing more valu- able collection of jewels withstood at- tempts to open it. The place robbed is on Grand street, only few blocks from police headquarters.
 The thieves gained entrance with a skeleton key. Apparently they work ed at their leisure. Three safes in all were shattered, but a big vault con- taining gold and loose diamonds de- fled them. They left behind enough burglar tools to fill small wagon.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 17.-Cotton- Futures opened steady and unchang- ed to points down, compared with the close of yesterday. Cables were not quite up to expectations, but short selling was prevented by the continued dry weather in the belt and the forecast of fair weather tonight and tomorrow for all sections. In the early trading prices moved lit tie. At the lowest they were 1@3 points under yesterdays final figures, and at the end of the first half hour of business they were 1 over
 Some disposition to advance was shown around the middle of the morn ing as the result of reports that the demand was good for spot cotton for October and later delivery. This was met by the claims of the bears that the early sections of the belt were offering cotton freely. No conces- sions in prices were mentioned, how eyer~ It was said that certain spot interests were endeavoring to build up stocks at United States ports, es- pecially lat New Orleans and New York. At the highest of the morning prices were unchanged to 1 point up, compared with yesterdays final fig ures. At noon they were 1 point down.
 Offerings were increased in the aft ernoon and the market sagged, stand ing at ? o'clock 3@5 points under yesterdays closing level.

New York Cotton

New York, July 17.-A private re- port making the condition of the growing cotton crop S3.4 as of July 10, against S48 as of June p, and thus suggesting deterioration Of over 1 per cent for the first half of the crop reporting period, served to offset rather disappointing Liverpool cables in the cotton market at the opening this morning. Some buying was also promoted by forecasts for continued dry weather in the South, and the market opened at an advance of 1@3 points. There was a good deal of scattered realizing, however, and fluctuations were irregular, within range of or points dur ing the early trading.
 The market was quite late in the morning, with prices easing off or s points from the best under reallz- ing.
 Trading remained very quiet during the early afternoon and prices ruled within point or two of yesterdays closing.
