(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New York, August 5 The cotton
market this morning opened easy at
a decline of 1 to 6 points. There was
some heavy selling by one of the large
houses creating an impression around
the room that Wall street interests
were taking profits. It was accom
panied by rather active pressure from
room sources, southern selling also
was in evidence.

New Orleans Cotton.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New Orleans, La., August 5 rThe
spot market continues dull and with
out new features of more than pass
ing interest.
The mill demand has practically
ceased to be a factor in governing
prices since the mills are not at pres
ent in the market and the small tail
ing as is now indulged in does not
carry sufficient weight to affect the
situation. . Factors are holding a
number of lists for impossible fig
ures, under shippers' instruction, but
apart; from these there is hardly any
thing of a desirable character on the
tables and a lower heading of 'from
board prices would probably fail to
move stocks, considering the present
temper of the market.
A decidedly easier feeling prevailed
among contract traders today, largely
the result of extremely bearish re
ports anent the growing crop and
prices moved off sharply during the
I morning hour. The opening figures
were down 7 to 10 points and though
there were . not infrequent fluctua-
l tions incidental to spasmodic buying

FINANCIAL STORY
(By T. C. SHOTWELL)
New York, August 6 Under the
influence of excited buying of Gug
genheim stock the entire market was
buoyant today. Smelters, National
Lead,, Amalgamated Copper and Steel
sold at high records in the first half :
hour of trade. In London American
stocks were active and moving high-
er. The cause for the enthusiasm Just WANTED Stenographer and type
now seems to be the advancing prices . writer. Apply immediately to J.
of copper metal coupled with a gen
eral belief that business is recover
ing in all departments. E. H. Harrt
man's confidential talks in the west
have had a tonic effect. It Is gen
erally believed that Gould has sur-
j rendered completely to Harrlman and
that the Gould system will now be re
habilitated. Pittsburg reported to
day that negotiations have been
opened by the Gould interests with
the Pressed Steel Car Company for
several thousand freight cars to
handle the tonnage that is expected
this fall under the old Carnegie con
tracts, of which the Goulds have not
yet taken advantage. One report had
it that the order is for 10,00 cars.
On the curb market Cumberland:
Ely, Nevada, Consolidated and Le
Rose were leaders, with a good de
mand in the entire mining depart
ment. Cotton and grain were both slight
