COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August Reports of
rains in the southwest caused more or
less realizing and declines in both the
Liverpool and local cotton markets
early today. Liverpool was Sha9 points
lower at the hour of the local opening g
when due to come to " to points. and
the market here opened steady at q de-
cline of 4 to 10 points. Private wires
were received reporting showers at
several Texas points; also at Okla
homa City. and there was probably
some selling for a reaction. as well as
profit taking or liquidation.
the eastern belt was considered an un-
favorable feature, however. while the
official forecast suggested nothing more
than showers on the Texas coast and
prices here soon steadied. with Decem-
Der selling up from 14.14 to 14.19. and
January from 1921 to 1870 before the
end of the first hour. Liverpool also
rallied on the relatively steady ruling
of the American markets.
Futures opened steady; August, not
quoted; October. 1895; December. 14.14:
January. 14.27; March, 14.40: May. 14.5S.
Offerings increased late in the morn
ing. owing to the detailed weather re-
ports for Texas showing very general
showers or rains for Saturday. with
precipitation. ranging up to over an
inch at some few stations. December
contracts sold off to 1903 and January
to 14.17, or about Is to 18 points under
Saturdays closing figures, but at this
decline sellers were not aggressive and
prices were steady early in the noon
hour. with December ruling around
14l2 on covering and trade buying.

WHEAT PRICES WEAKEN

Rallies Later Are Not Of Lasting
Character and Still Lower
Declines Follow.

CHICAGO, August 7-wheat prices
weakened today under liberal selling, due
to Liverpool assertions that any great
black rust damage in Canada was still
unconhrmed. Later, the market rallied
on account Of reports that black rust has
been found in every field near Moose Jaw,
Sask., where a few days ago the pres
ence of any evidence Of the pest was
authoritatively denied. The upturns in
values, however. failed to prove Of a
lasting character.
Opening prices. which ranged from "
to rs lower. with September at 1.s3N to
1.3451 and December at 1.37h to 1.38, were
followed by a recovery Of nearly all the
loss, but then by declines lower than be-

WICK QUESTION
 UP IN THE AIR
LOOKED LIKE A SPLIT BUT MAT TIERS PROMISE ADJUST
 MENT.

No secret was made this afternoon by the delegates to the convention that the question of the nomination of Wickersham is "up in the air" After the publication of the statement of the Delegate in the Gateway and other papers Louis P. Shackeford gave out interviews in the coast papers that indicated a hopeless split once more and complete severance of the factions supposed to be repre- sented respectively by Mir. Wicker sham and Mir. Shackleford. In his statement Mir. Wickersham hinted very clearly that he would be bound by no such combination" as that which was alleged to exist and this was evidently taken to mean that he would accept all from Mr. Shackle- ford and his friends without being willing to give anything in return. The answering statement of Mr. Shacllleford in the coast papers is said to have been tantamount to an ultimatum to Wickersham that if he was supported by his former oppon- ents for the nomination those former opponents could not be treated as if they were coming begging on their knees and willing to deliver them selves bound into the hands of the Wickersham forces. For a time it looked like the smashing of all the arrangements which had been made in the interest of harmony but since leaving Valdez Mir. Shackleford has met Ed. Russell, the Wickersham manager and once again the clouds seem to be drifting away, blown by mutual understanding which is said to be growing as the time for the con vention draws near, and the result is that Wickersham stock rose again this afternoon. A meeting of the Central committee will be held this evening and it is also said that mat ters will be hastened so that the con vention may be concluded tomorrow in time to catch the Evans on her re- turn.
 To quote the words of a very prom inent delegate in conclusion:
 'It is still hoped the two factions will be reconciled."

The sailing ships Star of Russia and the Flint have arrived with full cargoes of cannery supplies and will remain for the outgoing pack in September. The Star of Russia is under charter to the Alaska Packers whose cannery is situated twelve miles below here on the Kasilof river. The Flint comes for the Libby can nery, situated about two miles up Kenai river.
 The ship St. Paul. of the North western Fisheries Co. is expected to arrive daily and will remain for the fall pack.
 The schooner Premier with a cargo of piles for the Alaska Packers ar rived recently. After unloading she will probably proceed to Boring Sea for the season.
 There is no ice in the inlet, but ice in the river is not expected to go out until the middle of May.
 All the canneries are preparing for a large pack this season, the "rule of thumb" being that a severe winter is usually followed by an exceptionally good run of salmon.
 About three hundred employees for the season are expected to arrive within the next month for the coming seasons work. About seventy-five people spent the winter at the differ ent canneries.
 The Northwestern Fisheries Co.'S. tug, the Carpenter, is expected back from Seward shortly, where she went for a passenger who is to arrive there on the Str. Northwestern.

The tug Carpenter, which arrived yesterday from Eenai, is the regular cannery tender for that port and re- mains there usually the year round. She comes to Seward for a passenger arriving on the Northwestern and will return to Kenai immediately after the arrival of the latter steamer probably sometime tomorrow evening.
 Alexander Esser is the captain and is on of the old timers of western Alaska, having come to the Inlet for the Alaska Packers in 1889 During the active times in the sealing in- dustry about 1892 he made two trips to Japan but with these exceptions he has been constantly in the employ ment of the salmon fishing industry since 1889. The Carpenter IS a staunch tug of 14O tons, well equipped and kept in every way. She belongs to the Northwestern Fisheries Co, of San Francisco. Captain Esser calls San Francisco his home, but the Car penter is his actual residence most of the time.
