and steady to-day, and unchanged, exceDt Gal-
veston, which was l-16c higher, and Boston,
which was 1-lGc lower New Orleans quota-
tions were revised, middling being 1-lfie lower.
Galve*fcon closed firm at the advance.

erally a point higher, ruled steady at about the
Bame figures and closed barely steady and un-
changed .
New York futures opened steady at about
yesterday's close, ruled quiet but steady, gen-
erally a point lower, and closed easy 3 to 5
points lower than yesterday.
New Orleans futures opened steady, gener-
ally unchanged, ruled quiet butsteadyjl to ~
points higher, and closed quiet but steady 1
point lower than yesterday.
COTTON TRANSPORTATION.
Steamship agents say that it is necessary for
all vessels engaged in the transatlantic service
to carry cotton, as it is one of the principal
sources of revenue. Vessels, they say, are
built to suit the trade for which they are in-
tended, and as cotton is one of the chief ex-
ports of America it is absolutely necessary for
them from a business standpoint to make pro-
vision for getting some of the tra'ie. It is es-
pecially important for the lines that own the
fast steamers to carry cotton, as in certain
cases a large price is given for its quick deliv-
ery: as, for instance, when there is a corner in
cotton in the Liverpool market, as at the Pre.®"
ent time, cotton has to be rushed over to till
contracts. It is said that from the 1st to the
20th of September fully 40,000 bales of cotton
will be shipped from New York to meet the
demand that exists on the other side in conse-
quence of the corner.
Besides cotton commands a price according
to the month in which it is delivered. A cargo
of cotton reaching Liverpool on the 30th day of
September would receive the price of Septem-
ber cotton, while if it was delivered the follow-
ing day it would bo paid for according to the
prices which October cottoi demands. A quan-
tity of cotton reaching New York from the
south, say about the 15th of September, i& fre-
quently hurried over to the other side in order
that it may reach the market In time to bo in-
cluded as September cotton. For these reasons
the transportation of cotton is exceedingly
profitable tor fast ocean steamers and great
chances are consequently taken.
RIO COFFEE.
The Itio News, in its market report upon
coffee, says: "A new bombshell has been cast
among us by the minister ot finance in grant-
ing to a company promoter an exemption from
export duties. It has been officially declared
that the concession is merely a formality, for
the proposed constitution will turn over export
duties to the respective states, and moreover,
the promoter in question will engage to reim-
burse the treasury at the commeneeme.it of
the third year for the duties held in suspense.
We confess that, in common with many people
here, wo are somewhat at a loss to sound
the inteutlons of the minister, but a meeting of
the coffee factors Is called to discuss the Ques-
tion, and the doubtful people mav uossibly be
enlightened by the result of this meeting."
TRAD*? NOTES.
Wholesalers report fair business.
The bank clearings to-day aggregated $067,825.
The International brought in 4'J bags of wool
yesterday.
The increase at all ports thus far this season
is 83,560 bales.
The receipts at r.ll United States ports to-dey
were 5?ft,M5 Dales as against lH,00i bales this dav
last year.
Savannah heads the list of ports to-day with
6755 bales of cotton received. Galveston conies
comes next with 4b99 bales.
Prices for tinplafe have receded somewhat
the nast, week, but not to an extent sufficient to
affect the market for cans.
The Maurice cove oyster trade amounts to
350,000,000 oysters per year. The covo is in Cum-
berland county, N. J. The oyster traffic yields
$40,000a year to the receipts of the Central New
Jersey railroad. Two-thirds of these oysters go
to Philadelphia.

Ma^CHESTER, Sept. 17.—The Guardian, in its
review of yesterday's market, says: There was
a moderate business for s veral of the markets,
but there was little doing for India and China.
Prices were generally steady, though occasion-
ally manufacturers'are easier. The position
of the producers, especially spinners, are de-
cidedly unproved regar ling the margin. De-
spite the efforts to break the prices founded on
the decline on cotton, the market is remarkably
firm. Yarn is very quiet. There was a little
more inquiry for bundles for export, but the
offers were rarely acceptable.
Cloth wasquiet but steady. Inquiry for India
and China is increasing somewhat. Best print
ers and ot'rer finishing cloths were quiet but
firm. Common grades were freely offered,
though there was lets pressure toaell. (iood
heavy goods were steady. Lower grades wore
fairly steady, although the demand was inac-
tive.

Professor lIarKnens Tells What They Aro
and What Causes Them.
'When I was a small boy," said Professor
William Harkuess of the naval observatory
to A Washington Star reporter, "I used to
be very much interested in watching shooU
ing; stars, and I always wondered why ic
was that though I could see them so often I
never was able to see one start. Very likely
children, and, as yon say. perhaps other
people as well, wonder why it is that shoot-
ug stars or meteors always appear to start
out in full motion and suddenly fade away
without seeming to get anywhere iu par-
ticular- The explanation is simple enough
when one only understands what meteors
really are. Star gazers through all time
have been interested in the phenomenon of
meteoric showers, but it was not until well
in thia century that Schlaparelli, the as-
tronomer of Milan, gave an explanation of
them. In 1805 considerable work was dore
here at the observatory in working out ti e
problem of meteois.
''What are they? Why they are simply
small bodies that the earth encounters in
inconceivable numbers iu P.a annual revo-
lution around the sun. They are very small
indeed—much too small ever to be seen by
the most powerful telescopc. I doubt if
tbey would average iu weight a grain
apiece, while one as large and heavy as au
ordinary buckshot would make a very bril-
liant meteor indeed. They are pieces, prob-
ably, of some heavenly body that was
broken up at some time or other and they
have kept on moving around the sun, each
n its own orbit ever since. Then there are
great groups of them moving around iu
the same orbit, and when the earth in
lis course around tho earth passes
through the path of one of these
groups we have what we cal.' a meteoric
shower. That is the explanation of the
August shower, the most brilliant regular
shower of the year. About tho 11th or 10th
of August the earth passes through the
orbit that is traveled by innumerable
meteoroids. They are all around the orbit
at the same time, and thus it is that we can
be certain of running into them every sum-
mer.
In the case of the November meteors,
however, it is quite different. They move
in one bunch around the st;n with the same
orbit and the same period, a li2tie over
thirty-three years. Thue we only have a
remarkable November shower when tho
position of the earth coincides with the po-
sition of this group of meteoroids.
"Still as you have noticed, of cours ,
shooting stars csn be seen almost eve y
11 i^h•, iu greater or less numbers. This is
explaiued by the fact that there are count-
less millions of these small bodies scatter (1
all through the region of thejsidereal sys-
tem. Some move together in bunches < r
groups, as I have said, while others are iso-
lated examples, but each is rushiug around
the sun iu a well defined orbit. Although
the total mass of these bodies is very small,
yet tnelv number is beyond all estimation.
According to Professor Newton's estima es
7,000,000shooting stars are run into by the
earth every twenty-fou) hours. This
would make two or throe thou<«
sand million meteoroids met with
in the course of a year. The
earth, of course, would only encounter a
very small fraction of thoie even in the
solar system. It has been estimated that
while there is but a single meteor to sev-
eral million cubic kilometers of space in
the heavens, still tne total number is im-
mensely great, because a globe including
the orbit of Neptune would contain mil-
lions of millions of millions of millions of
cubic kilometers.
"Why is it that we only see them as we
do!- For the simple reaaon that a meteor-
oid is so small that it can nor be seen.it
can not shine ot its ow n light for it has
none, and it is too insignificant even to
shine by reflected light.
So it has to wait until it strikes our ats
mospLere, where, moving at the tremen-
dous rate it does, even in the rarlflcd aii
j tray up there, it is soon on fire and com-
pletely destroyed by the intense heat that
; the friction causes long l^eforo it reaches the
I earth. Only very rarely or in the case of
I exceptionally large and hard meteora or
j bolides Is ever a trace of them found upon
the surface of tbe earth. Occasionally one
hears of a flue powder being scattered over
; the ;.now on lofty mountain peaks after a
I very heavy star shower, and tue theory is
held that this is the stir dust or ash, but
this theory ia not generally sustained, is all
experiments and efforts to catch stardust
have proved signal failures.
-Shooting stars are merely insignificant
particle* of matter in a state of combus-
tion. a good way off, though still within
the limits onr atmosphere, and so small
that while they arc consnmlng th<*y offer a ,
mere poin*. of light to the observer."
