Beview of the Cotton Market.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Manchester. July 81. The Guar
dian, in in commercial article, says:
The demand for manufactured cottons
has been anything but vigorous, and tne
offers of buyers have mostly been, de
clined. Occasionally manufacturers,
however, are sufficiently anxious for
business to accept orders, which, under
nomal conditions they would inconti-.
neiitly' refuse, while others accept busi
ness at a loss, which is no greater than
would be incurred by allowing their
looms to remarn idle. The difficulty in
securing satisfactory employment for
looms throws a gloom over the yarn
market, in which the experience of
sellers is most discouraging. The spin
dles that are generally engaged in pro
ducing yarn from American cotton are
running full time, while the takings are
the current production.
Unless the demand for this product de
velops very soon the necessity for cur
tailing the supply will become impera
tive. ; n .
Nfw York. Tulv 31. The Sun says:
Cotton advanced seven to. nine points,
rind steadv. with sales of 74,400 bales.
New Orleans advanced seven to eight
-nnints. LiverDool was easier on
nnt hut without Quotable change; the
sales were 10,000 bales. Futures there
declined One half to one point, but re-
covered this and advanced one-half to
one point, distant months showing the
firmness, closing very steady. In Ma
Chester varns were weak, closing irregU'
4ar. ,Theoort receipts were 126 bales,
against 259 this day last week and 578
last year. Spot cotton was l-16c higher
herewith sales of 1,102 bales for spin
ning. Southern markets were generally
; slow and unaltered. Mobile declined

To-dav's features : To those whosup
Dosed that the crop conditions of late
had been favorable, the weekly Govern
ment report must have been an unpleas
ant surprise Too much rain in Lou
isiana and Arkansas, too much grass in
Mississippi, shedding in the Carolinas,
Florida and Louisiana, and irregularity
of the size of the plant in Texas, where,
moreover, it is one to three weeks late,
were not features calculated to make
the shorts content to stand by their
good deal of covering, owing to this
adverse crop news, and prices made
a very i- Lir advance, considering
the continued narrowness of the market.
Liverpool opened easier but closed
suenii? mener, ana ine spot saies iucic
were larger, whjle here in New York
verv eood spot demand prevailed at
some advance. It is understood that
larger business has been done in spot
cotton here of late than has yet been re
ported officially. Most Operators are
disposed to hold off for a while awaiting
further developments, but there is no
doubt that the bears were less confident
to-day
- GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Whea, Corn and Oats Dull-Port, Bibs

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, July 31 Wheat began be
low where it left eff last night and with
occasional interruptions, whilst the bears
took their profits, continued its descend
iog course through the session. Scattered
liquidation of "Long" wheat and
steady selling by believers in a
lower standard of values kept
kept prices on the move all day, Short
ly before the close there was a few more
buyeis than offerrings could quite ac
commodate and nearly a moderate rally
occurred. The day developed no new
features: of the situation and holders
disposed of their wheat at a sac
rifice. September wheat opened from
705 to 70Hc declined to 69$ to 69Jrfc
closing at 69c to c lower than
yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and
from 1 to lc. per bushel lower.
Corn The friends of corn were either
out of town or in hiding. Very few
traders had the courage to buy it for a
rise and as a matter of fact, the offering
did not indicate any aggressive activity
on the part of the short sellers. A nar
row range ; and an easy tone explained
the condition of to-day's market. Sep-t-.rnbercorn
opened at 42c so'd be
! tween 43 and 42c closing at 42 to
42c to c under yesterday. Cash
corn was steady to Jc lower.
Oats kept in about the same relative
position as corn. No particular trading
I took place, the transactions consisting
' mainly cf s ight scalping operations for
local account, September oats closed
Jc. lower than yesterday. Cash oats
were easy to steady.,
J Provisions Some of the packers af
I forded a little support to the product at
different periods in to day's session, but
as a rule very light and by no means
i permanent. The demoralizition of the
ihog market and the weakness of grain
I were too powerfal in their influence to

ithc weakest o! the day. September pork
Host 40c; September lard 10c, and Sep-
temberrnbs 17$ to 20c by the trading.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS
THE STATE CONVENTION AT BAL. 1 1-
MORE.
John E. Haw, the Millionaire Merobant,
Nominated for QoTOrnor A' Victory for
Gorman Over tne Cleveland Democrats
Points in tne Platform Adopted.
E ' By Telegraph to the Morning Stat.
I Baltimore, Md July 81. Mr. John
E. Hurst, senior member of the well
known HopkirTs Place dry goods firm
of Hurst, Purnell & Co., was this after
noon nominated for Governor by the
Democratic Convention on the first
ballot. Senator Gorman and I. Freeman
Rasin thereby scored a decisive victory
... - . i n..i.Mj
over tneir opponents, iuc vwioauu
Democrats. The ticket was completed
by the nomination ot Marion DeKalb
Smith, of Kent county, to succeed him
self as Comptroller of the Treasury, and
of State Senator Chas. C. Crothers, of
Cecil county, for Attorney uenerai.
The surprise ot tne committee was tne
almost total desertion of the re-assess
ment advocate, 5tate senator i nomas
G. Hayes He received but two votes
on the roll call.
t A stormy scene is said to nave taicen
nlace between Mr. Hayes and senator
Gorman just before the committee met,
which undoubtedly accounts for Mr.
Haves lack of votes. It is creaitaoiy
stated that Mr. Haves accused Mr. Gor
man of base deceit and double-dealing,
and ended np his tirade by charging the
senior Senator with having sold him out.
Not fittv delegates were m the audito
num of the Harris Academy of Music at
noon, the hour named for calling the
committee to order. It soon became
noised about that the dearth of delegates
was due to a conference at the
Hotel Carrollton, . which had not
been concluded at the noon hour.
Senator Gorman was reported as having
encountered unexpected opposition
from the counties toward the head of
the slate fixed up last night. Mr.
Hurst's known anti-reassessment views
made it impossible, the county leaders
told Mr. Gorman, for him to command
anvthice like a full Democratic vote.
Several conferences followed this bomb
shell, and as the delegates came Strug
gling into the convention
ytere many rumors of new
combinations.

I Chairman Talbot of the State Central
committee rapped the convention to
prder at 12:20 o'clock. There was an
entire absence of decorations. in the hall,
which had rapidly filled up until 2,000
oei sons were in the seats. Mr. Talbot
made a brief address, and introduced
Bernard Carter as temporary chairman
In addressing the Convention Mr.
Carter, who is one of Baltimore's leading
lawyers and an eloquent speaker, said
that he expected the nominees to be of
high character and fully qualified to fill
the positions to which they might be
named, and he therefore expected for
them the unanimous support of all
Democrats. Not only was the Gover
norship, Attorney Generalship and
Comptrollership at stake this year, but
it would also be necessary to elect a
majority of the Legislature, so that a
Democrat could be elected to the U. S
Senate to succeed Charles H. Gibson
Several of the State Senators to be
elected this Fall will also have an oppor
tunity to vote for a successor to Arthur
P. Gorman two years hence. In con
cluding, Mr. Carter begged for harmony
among the factions and united support
of
tne convention s nominees.
It was evident that the galleries had
been packed in the interest of Mr. Hurst.
Mr. Carter s address was frequently in
terrupted by cheers for Hurst, until
finally Mr. . Carter warned the crowd
that further interruptions would not be
tolerated, but that summary action
would.be taken if the offence was further
indulged in, excepting at appropriate
times.
The usual committees were appointed.
A motion was adopted that all resolu
tions oe reierred to tne Committe on
Resolutions 'without debate. There
was quite a volume of noes when the
question was put, but Chairman Carter
very qmcKiy aeciaea tne motion as
adopted.
While the Credentials and Resolu
tions Committee were out the occupants
of the gallery yelled themselves hoarse
and the band played stirring music. The
crowd in the Academy had been aue'
merited by a few hundred persons, most
of them being brought in in Mr. Hursts'
interest. They were of the leather-
lunged variety, and yelled all other
noisy yellers to a standstill. Meanwhile
the delegates who were not out with the
committee sat in their seats glum and

time the national treasury will be sup

the obligations of the Government and
maintain unimpaired its high credit at
home and abroad.
There was no allusion whatever in the
platform to Senator Gorman, it was
stated this was his desire, and he gave as
a reason, that his course at Washington
was not an issue in this campaign, we
platform was unanimously adopted --
A roll call was oegun ior nommauuu

crowd opposed to Hurst instantly took
up tne cry, ana waeucver nmsi o iuuo:

nominate a Governor and State officers,
which some of them have hopes
of electing. As far as numbers
are concerned the Conyention is
first-class, but that is about all that can
be said in their favor. : Three-fourths of

Yes. sir. If we can have such a rev

That is the one hope of the Populists,
that the Democracy of the State will go
