New York, Aug. 31.—(Special.)—Attempts
were made to damage the market by re-
port* that the entire Louisville and Nash-
ville system would be tied up in a few
days, and by the action of the inside whisky
gang, who knocked the price down over 3
per cent yesterday. They bulled the trash
on reports that a dividend was probable
this year, and to-day they stabbed the
Quotations by practically asserting that
the sheriff was at the door. The price
closed at 19. Louisville rose in the face of
the injuring reports to G5, but it finished at
53%. Strangely enough, the market did not
get over the early setback, and was In re
markable contrast to yesterday's buying.
A feature was the steady buying of small
lots for investment. What larger buying
there was to-day was good, including some
of our biggest commission houses, but in
the last half hour stocks were offered very
treely and prices wound up %#2Va per cent
bfllow last evening.
Advices that the silver bill would be
amended in the senate hurt the market.

The rise was mainly on moderate offerings
and a fear on the part of some that cotton
might become congested at the south from
the scarcity of cash to move it, in which
case northern and European supplies
would be apt to suffer. The close was
easy, Ih sympathy with Wall street.

THE POST'S REVIEW.
New York, Aug. 31.—The Post says: The
money market continues to exhibit a curi-
ous mixture of encouraging and discourag-
ing developments. Time money is certainly
not seeking a market, and a very familiar
symptom of a panic aftermath is develop-
ing in the advance of rates for corporation
loans on real estate. The advance is nat-
ural, for mortgage loans will hardly be
renewed at 4V{j and 5 per cent. Later on
this shutting down on real estate loans
will as usual cripple the enterprise of spec-
ulative builders, though indirectly it may
help the borrowers on other securities. The
savings banks are meeting withdrawals
freely, and a pretty large amount has been
withdrawn, but not, perhaps, as much as
had been looked for. This money will,
moreover, in a measure, seek the bank de-
positories. But the banks can hardly help
the time loan market yet. Of their capac-
ity in this direction the volume of out-
standing clearing house certificates are still
a proper measure. To put the matter in
another form, the weaker banks must pay
the G per cent loans made to them by other
institutions, and the stronger banks must
have their loans to fellow banks repaid
before they can accommodate the outside
market. The fact that Chicago institutions
through refusing to share New York's re-
sponsibilities by resort to clearing house
certificates, have contracted no such loans,
enables them to ease their own money
market before our own has yielded.
BEST INDICATIONS OF CONFIDENCE.
New York, Aug. 31.—Time notices of the
Intended withdrawals of money in excess
of small amounts from savings banks ex-
pired yesterday In a half a dozen of the
looal savings banks. The outcome caused
both surprise and gratification. As the
president of one bank said: "We are con-
fident that drafts would be light, Just as we
were nil confident that the house of repre-
sentatives would vote the repeal, but we
are glad to know both expectations are
realized and that the vote is so large and
the drafts so small."
Seven banks were visited by a reporter - ..
to-day, of which four had required only thir- ' Cent'l Pacific 1st . .*102
ty-day notices a month ago. The report | Denver & Rio G. 4s. .*73?$
showed that only 10 per cent of the notices ! *'a- consol (to..*03
I becoming general and advices to-day from
j Vlcksburg and Greenville are both to the
! effect that the supply of parls green has
j been exhausted and orders from planters
can not be supplied. A friend just re-
turned from north Louisiana says the crop
in that section is getting worse daily.
The writer, who has just returned from a
trip through part of the south, saw very
•poor cotton In western Tennessee and
northern Mississippi, but in eastern Ten-
nessee and In Alabama the plant appears
very healthy and heavily fruited. Our ad-
vices from southern Mississippi are that
the outlook is still very flattering. Uur
regular correspondent at Charlotte, North
Carolina, advises us to-day that th" late
cyclone had really done a great deal of ,
good, as the heavy downpour of rain wa.s ;
badly needed and will assure a good yield. •
News Oflice, Aug. 31.—The markets to-
day were rather nervous, but on the whole
displayed much strength. Liverpool opened
lover, bnt advanced and closed firm and
higher than yesterday. This had a good
effect on our markets, and a sharp ad-
vance took place, about half of It being
lost before the close. The spot cotton mar-
kets were generally quiet and yesterday's
prices were repeated at all important
points. This market made no changes,
and closed steady with sales of 180 bales
reported at the exchange.
Liverpool futures opened steady with a
moderate demand and prices about 2 points
lower, advanced lightly and ruled quiet,
but steady, advanced again and closed firm
and 1 to 2 points over yesterday.
New York opened steady and 5 points
lower, gained 10 points and ruled steady,
and closed barely steady and about 6
points higher.
New Orleans opened steady and 3 to 4

large outturn, so that we must look for I steady and 8 points over yesterday s fig-
depressing influences in other directions.
The feeling in New York seems to be that
the senate will fritter away valuable time
In considering amendments offered solelv
for the purpose of obstructing the Itnal re-
peal of the Sherman bill, and this is count-
ed upon to cause great disappointment to
these who had hoped for an early and iinal
settlement of the vexed silver question
and consequent relief to linance In general.
The money market Is the pulse of the com-
mercial world, and any delay In the com-
plete cure of the ills from which we are
now suffering would naturally tend to de-
range the whole system.
Liverpool, after opening lower, closed
1-Gld higher than yesterday. Spots were
unchanged, with sales of 8u00 bales. We
closed a points above last night. Spots
hc-re continue firm at unchanged prices,
but with light sales of 100 bales.
IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Cleveland, 0„ Aug. 31,-The Iron Trade
Review this week says: It would be hard
to define the difference between conditions
In the Iron market to-day and those pre-
vailing one week ago. The tendency at
such times Is to exaggerate. To say that
the Iron market is one week nearer from
improvement would be a safe, conserva-
tive statement, and that Is about all the
situation warrants outside of what is to
, *?"nJ -n the better feeling produced by
the \\ llson bill vote in the house and the
more comfortable condition of the banks.
As money grows more plentiful there will
be Increasing activity, but there are Indica-
tions that in most departments of the
iron business the trouble is the greater
one of lack of orders. That is what is
keeping many western mills in idleness.
The week has brought some further mill
resumptions. No significant change has
taken place In the mill situation at Pitts-
burg. In the Wheeling district a start has
been made at Benwood and Bellalre, and
lurther activity is promised In that dis-
trict within the next few weeks. The raw
Iron market presents the condition of
turther accumulations, with active furnace
capacity still very materially reduced.
NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
New York, Aug. 31,-Nothing new of Im-
portance is disclosed in the demand for dry
goods. The late Improvement is maintained
and the tone of the market grows stronger.
An occasional transaction in cotton goods
Is ol more than the ordinary amount and
is made at some advantage to buyers
Prints were in relatively fair demand, and
there Is something going in cotton flannels
and in heavy sheeting for export. The job-
blng trade continues to improve and to
carry with it a widening of demand for
articles of moderate cost. The market is
more hopeful but not expecting a full sea-
son. Prices have not changed, but there Is
some Irregularity in the terms of sale.

New York, Aug. SI.—Speculation at ♦+•
stock exchange was less active to-day and
the market lacked the strength which was
such a prominent characteristic yesterday,
This was mainly due to the absence of

tiful yesterday. Near the close there was £

TEXAS COTTON CROP OF 1892-'93.
Below will be found the annual statement
of The News, showing the Texas cotton
crop for the season July 31, 1892, to August
1, 1893, as made up from statements kindly
furnished The News by the various Texas
railroads. The railroads were asked for and
gave only cotton originating at stations
on their lines, and each road excluded all
cotton derived from other roads. The re-
quest for Information was very specific on
this point, and the roads were equally spe-
cific in their replies that only such cotton
was included. Hence one of the most fruit-
ful sources of error, recounting, has been
excluded, and the statement may be accept-
ed as very nearly, if not absolutely true.
The statement bears out the extreme ac-
curacy of The News' January estimate of
the Texas cotton crop, based on the replies
furnished by railroad agents, and >also puts
at rest all doubt as to the accuracy of The
News' report of the previous season, mak-
ing the crop that year 2,400,608 bales. Fol-
lowing Is the statement In full:

had been acted upon. This was the per-
centage predicted by men who had been
through similar panics or runs 011 savings
banks, but there was some fear that the
continuance of the existence of depression
together with the protected premium on
currency, might raise the average at this
period. There was a great deal of tele-
phoning among the .savings banks yester-
day, In which their experiences of the day
were exchanged, and they found that they
had all fared alike and no worse than the
most optimistic predictions.
MORE GOLD IMPORTS.
New York, Aug. 31.—The steamship Aller
brought 1,735,000 francs and £80,000 gold this
morning. The steamship Gallia also
brought $100,ouo In gold.
AT WOOD VIOLETT & CO
New Orleans, La., Aug. 81.—Atwood Vio-
lett & Co. say: Futures—The Liverpool
market opened at a decline of some 3-640
but gradually improved, closing Ann at an
advance of l-64d on the prices of last even-
ing. The sales of spots were small, reach-
ing only 8000 bales. Both New York and
this market closed slightly lower, but in
sympathy with the Improvement In Liv-
erpool and light receipts at the ports prices
rallied and showed a gain of 15 points on
the opening rates. Dullness still charac-
terizes the market, and the volume of
business is quite small. The crop move-
ment Is light, but advices Indicate that
picking is becoming general and we may
soon therefore expect freer receipts. The
crop outlook Is fairly favorable, and aside
from Texas we hear of no serious com*
plaints. There is a more cheerful feeling
In financial circles, and this is evidenced
by the fact that our local banking Insti-
tutions have concluded that as the out-
look is so much improved they will defer
the issue of certificates of deposit as had
been agreed upon. Some further shipments
of gold are being made in Texas. Spots
closed firm at unchanged prices; sales,
100 bales; to arrive, 100.
I. E. GLENNY & Co.
Now Orleans, La., Aug. 31.—Liverpool

2-64d higher than last night.
New York opened 6 points lower, &d«
vanced at one time to 13 points above last
night, but just before the closing a reac-
tion set In, the closing being barely steady
at 7 points higher than yesterday.
Our market opened Irregular, 4 to 6 points
lower, but upon receipt of cables report*
Ing the advance in Liverpool, prices re-
acted, and shortly after the close of Liver-
pool was received our market lOOCM an
advance of 17 points from opening prlce.s,
from which we again declined 2 to 3
points, the closing being steady and 8
points higher than yesterday.
We have had another very nervous and
unsettled market, with considerable flue*
