Washington. Aug. 17.-K Is ikaowa here
to-night that the President contemplates
appointing E. H. Conger. Ambassador to
Mexico, special commissioner i to China to
adjust the ccB-merclal differences be
tween the United States and China. His
experience In China, and his close rela
tions with the powers now administering
the Celestial Kmnlre. have : commended.
him to the PieskJcnt to undertake anoth
er mission In the Orient
Ambassador Coneer was hastUr bmib-
moned from hL post In Mexico and spent
yesterday In conference with Assistant
becrctary of state Adee. To-uay ne was
at Oyster Bay. It Is well understood that
jur. eronger- poMiion in .Mexico is not a
permanent one. but his friends have pro-
tt Med against his absolute dismissal from
the diplomatic service. The commercial
troubles that ensue from the Chlneso
boyeott on American goods present an
emergency In which Mr. Conger can be
u?rul. The service also will afford the
means for the administration to drop Mr.
Conger gracefully.
Mr. Bristow. the former Fourth Assist
ant Postinastee General, who turned up
the postal frauds, concluded his Govern
ment service ns a special commissioner to
Panama and It is very probable that Mr.
Conger will go tack to private life, hon
ored in a similar manner.

ia Fair Skapo.
According to tha reports of Texas aser
chaats the cottoa crop of that State Is
larger than It has keen for tea years. Tae
boU weevli. which has been so eajmagmg
for the last few years, is not found u
the cottoa aelds this year. The cotton
growers are unable ta state the cans of
Its disappearance
"The only thing the Western and South
era merchants talk about this year is pros
perity." said V. O. Saunders, superintend
ent of the Interstate Merchants Associa-
jwn. yezteraay. -every saercnant who an
been here this season reports that his sec.
tlon of the country is overflowing with
prosperity."
"The boll weevil has done but little dasa
8o the cotton of Central Texas." said
C. Ls Robinson of Reagan. Tex., yester
day. "The acreage waa reduced S per cea.t
on account of the wet weather during
May. The same amount of cottoa was
planted, but. owing to the rain, the grow
ers were unable to work. The cottoa that
a worked hi better than ever before,
and will yield from one-ball to three
fourths of a bale per acre. The price at
present is M cents per pound.
"We have also a good corn crop tn our
action, not quite as good as but year.

Is in a prosperous condition.
Ue will have a One trade this season
If the cottoa keeps up. If the price goes
down the growers will hold back until
Pnng. or until tbe market advances."
. TTie cotton crop of Southwestern Texas
Is the best we have had la ten years."
said J. Lyons of Yoakum.. Tex, Thta
year we were not troubled with the boll
weevIL The growers an- unable to account
for this, unl jus the Intense beat of June
and July killed tbe weevil. Some of my
customers have told me that their cot
ton has suffered a little from rust, out
this to only slight.
The cotton in our section Is moving
now. I have been advised that our arm
has received LW bales of cotton during
the last seven days. We expect to recelva
3.090 bales during the month of August.
"The growers can't get enough cotton
pickers. They are going to the towns and
taking wagonloads of people out to the
cotton fields. The housewives are com
plaining because they cannot get servants,
as all the help has gone to the cotton
urmH,
"The cotton In Southwestern Texas aver
ages a, bole per acre, .something that has
never been heard of before, and It is bring

Kejalaa OM Traap.
Unnble to resist the fascination of mili
tary life. Albert Peters, a cavalryman
at Jefferson Barracks, yesterday re-enlisted
after having purchased his discharge
from tbe service Wednesday.
Peters was a member of Tioop K. Ninth
Cavalry, and grew tired of the discipline.
lie had still several months of his enlist
ment" to serve, and decided to buy his
release.
With money he had saved from hLs pay
Peti rs masi.ie.ed to defray the costs of his
discharge. He remained about the bar
racks all day Wednesday a free man. but
was not content with tbe taste of ci
vilian life.
The notes of the trumpet calling his
former messmates to drill, the sucht of
the prancing cbaners and the Jollity of
a soldier's life contrasted strongly with
hut new station, and he determined to
become a trooper once more.
COTTON MARKET IS ACTIVE;
AN ADVANCE IS RECORDED.

ta aa Palata
New Tork. Aug. 17. The cotton market
was more active and. after an Initial de
cline, advanced sharply, with last prices
S&36 points net higher. Hales were esti
mated at about 4W.W bales.
The opening was weak at a decline of
ST'lt points in response to easier cables
and continued pressure from local bears.
Bt fhere was a big denitnd. with the
decline form leading Southern interests,
r miller shorts and commission house.
bcIK and the market soon showed a net
gain of IZltn points. During the m'dd!-.
resslon prices, became rather narrow, but
later became firm.
Bullish private crop reports. There was
active realising toward the close, and
some of the local bear operator sold on
blocks of idtsj bales, but the market ab
orled offerings very well and lost only
about 4 or 5 Doints from the best.
Th final tor.e was steady.
Liverpool rallied soon after the local
epering. acd private cables were of a
more bullish average, predicting a renewal
of trade demand.
The weather m-ip showed further rains
at practically all points except Texas,
which continues" dry and hot. and a pri
vate crop report Issued after the close
reprerente.1 nii average condition of 71.4.
agalr.st 76.C last month.
NEW ORI.TivNS BULLS AWAKEN.
RErCBLIcVTECIALw
New Orlinr.s. La.. Aug. 17. In It sum
mary of the cotton situation the Times
Democrat will say to-morrow:
"When thc fc.lent got wise to the fact
that the bears were lolng weight with
every point decline and could net hit
heavily enough eon the lid )etcrday. the
bulls began to take notice of thin:? In
genera!.. and several potentiul factors in
particular, and tne result was a radical
change In ring sentiment, and a sharp
net adv-ince on the daj's trad In it. Uver-
feiol .inelled a mode and bo-ight cotton
irstecd of selling It.
"The American mills reported renewed
activity among buyers. The Lancashire
strike situation was dismissed as being
rnworthv of further scrims n.n-!den-tlon.
The Pcac- Conference made favor
able progress. The absence of buving or
ders riecompanjlng most of the pcssiml
:'; crop report from the Interior was ex
lalnc.l awav tc the satisfaction of chron
ic h!ch-pr!c mea. Flnnlly. the rcent
attitude of New Tork'. chief opinlon
mrdder. who las talked of deadlocks am.
market equipoise for several days, was
!nterpretr! to mean that h- had turned
bull again and was quietly taking on new
'long' lines it the decline, on top of all
tl.Is Southern orerafors now In New
Trrk let the world belleva they were buy
lar for a turn anl the trick was done
"Cor.ervatlve opinion cannot yet find a
flear road for renewed bullish success ot
rhe big scnle. but there Is no logical rea
son why the daily doc-eat-dog programme
should not b turart to account by the
bulls for a time Just as the bears turned
It to account during the past week ot
two.
"Meanwhile, in the broader aspect of
."he market thc contending factions are
b:r.c brought closer to th day of tig
endeavor and are cleartr.g for action.
'The fact that the farmer, while re
porting crop damage continuously, la
keerlng cut of the speculative market,
may be genuinely significant. This was
th- coarse he pursued during last spring.
when, through judicious marketing of a
monter crop, he gradually rorced the
price up several cents a oound.
"Yesterday's professional opinion was
concerned over. the possible ultimate ef
fect of the ahcorraal atmospheric condi
tions which have beset the crop from
Its Inception, to a greater extent than for
some time. The climatic effect of the
eclipses of the sun and sooon was dis
cussed and questioned as to Rs pos
sible bearing on tbe date of frost. It waa

cotton to the highest on record can hardly

rent crop. The fact that this latter fac
tor was responsible for a goodly portion
of the excess yield last year should not be
overlooked.
"In tno last anaylsla. however, conserva
tive opinion within a S-polat range up
and down is neutral rather than partial
to either side. Professionals are In con
trol of the market, and yesterday's buyers
uvty lie to-day's sellers for a quick turn.
"The bull pool may pan out or it may
not. The day's news may be Interpreted
either way. or both, but Liverpool will
hardly run counter to America's strength
unless tbe South' offerings overnight
should discourage price optimism."
