Mr.. Henry Ward Beecher has no indca-
ton of widow hood or bereavement in her
dress. for she shares her dead husbands dis
hcilef in the propriety OF mourning garments.
The fa>hion-for II j. nothing else-of wearing.
ouiW sriiy. tokens Of grief which should be
TOO sacred for mere exterior expression. sis
more h0n0red il the breach than in the Oh
SerYanee.@
So says an exchange which we
think utters words of wisdom. For
those who conscientiously wear tokens
or habiliments Of mourning for their
departed friends, we have nothing but
respect. though we think the educa-
tion which requires it is false one
but the wearing of such tokens or
habiliments in obedience to the re-
auirements of fashion is a most per-
nicious practice. In his .'Progress"
John G. SAKE in satirical way makes
use of an argument against such
fashion that is absolutely unanswera-
BILE. We quote as follows:
what impious moekery, when, with souiless
art,
Fashion Intrusive seeks to rule the heart;
Directs how grief may tastefuliy be borne;
Insfrllcts bereavement just how long to
mourn;
Shows sorrow how by nice degrees to fade,
And marks its measure in ribbons sllste.D

COTTON REVIEW.

New YORK, November 13.-Hubbard, Price
& Co., say: An improved Liverpool mar
ket and light receipts caused an advance
in our market of 4 points from yester-
days closing prices which, however, failed
to be maintained and the market closed
at the lowest prices of the day, differing
from those of yesterday. The light re-
ceipts are thought to be due to the efforts
of the Farmers Alliances throughout the
south, who mean to postpone the market
ing of cotton until they have succeeded
in firing out the baggiug trust. The
market has been largely confined to local
trading, and the decline in the stock
market has had but little effect upon the
feeling of those who read the bureau re-
port to mean lessened production from
last wear.

-Four hundred head of the King cattle
from Baird we're weighed mp at Fort
Worth 20 a. nivefs Elm, of Dallas, at S2.l5
pes lo1spouucs, and were good feeders.
T.. 2. Ike.3, OF Fort Worth, is in San
ALtuuiJ after cattle, but as yet he bias
made few purchases, finding them scarce
at such prices as he was willing to pay.
The farmers will not take much interest
in raising sheep until the mutton markets
call louder for sheep than they have done
during the last three months. Sheep are
selling better than cattle, but farmers
figure that raising cattle is much easier
and certain, which is great error.
Tom O'Conuer, of Refugio county, was
In San Antonio last week, and says that
they have been having little too much
rain in his section of country so far this
fall, but cattle are yet looking we'll.
Jesse II. PressnaI, of the firm of Press
nal, Clark d Scott, recently bought 425
head of beeves of the Lewis Bros, from
their Uvslde county ranch to be delivered
next spring at SIC per head
In the week ending October 81, the
Kansas City market consumed 1929
cattle, 5S,563 hogs and 8,O47 sheep,against
5000 cattle, so, 44H hogs and 1896 sheep
consumed during the corresponding week
last year. The hogs are short in common
with other markets owing to the limited
supplies in the country. In cattle and
sheep the increase is remarkable.
Messrs. Polk Bros, of Fort Worth, re-
port the sale of 122 cows, 740 to 800 pounds |
average, to local butchers and others, at
~ cents per pound, which appears to be
the ruling price. They also sold to Cullen |
d Gibson, of Marshall, 20 cows, average |
100 pounds, at ~ cents; Ferd Slocum |
sold 80 COWS, average 900 pounds, at IL |
cents; Polk Bros. sold for Dunlap, 46 |
steers, 1000 pounds average, at 212 cents,
and to j E. Pierce, of Matagorda, 2 Jer-
sey bulls, at $3.50 each, and helfers.
The demand for blooded cattle at the
Texas State Fair and Dallas Exposition
was very slim. A pure bread Hereford
bull calf, Texas raised, sold at $3.50, and
some pure bred improved Herefords sold
at $l25 to $3.50 per head.
Texas cattle cannot be bought in Texas
1T prices realized for fat cattle, or what is J
supposed to be fat, in Chicago. Feeding
steers are selling better than fat steers,
and yearlings and two-year-olds are away
above the prices ruling one year ago.
This is due to the scarcity of cattle and
he necessity on the part of owners of
empty pastures to find something to eat
The grass.
