Governments, Stocks and Bonds.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-The assurance that
the new Russian loan will be taken in full
created favorable impression upon the
financial market in Europe. and led to q
much better feeling upon all classes of Sc
curities in London, with the effeci of higher
prices at that center and an unusual num-
Der of buying orders in this market for for
eign operators. The bear element on the
stock exchange has not as yet changed its
position on the market, and traders follow
still closer in their footsteps also. Some of
the latter went over TO the bull side to-day.
Beyond the resumption of the publication
of the earnings by the Missouri Pacific
there was nothing in the news of the day to
have any particular effect upon the course
OF prices to-day, but there was good buying
and this induced many of the traders to
call in their shorts and get over on the
other side. This movement gave great
strength 10 Missouri Pacific. and it was
again leader in the market, but in an up
ward direction instead of a decline Mis-
souri, Pacifc's marked strength was shown
in Louisville and Nashville, which was
bought largely for foreign account, but the
rest of the list failed TO make any marked
movement at any time of the day.
Opening figures showed advances over
those of last evening extending to Is per cent,
and the force of the demand sent the whole
list up small fractions further in early deal
ings, but a reaction set in and prices went
down. only to react later, and the mar
ket closed quiet and steady to firm at
or near the highest prices of the day
Government bonds, dull and firm.
State bonds, entirely neglected.
Railroad bonds We're still quiet, with
steady to firm tone, and displayed few feat
ures of interest during the day.

SETTLE FORT SILL COUNTRY.
Resolutions Adopted at a Nass-Meeting of
the Citizens OF Iowa Park.

Resolutions Adopted at a Iass-Meetins of
the Citizens OF Iowa Park.
Iowa PARK, Ten, Oct. 12.-At mass
meeting of the citizens of Iowa Park,
Wichita county. Tex, to consider the open
ing of the Fort Sill country, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, the Fort Sill country is subject
to settlemement at an early day, therefore
Resolved, that we, the citizens of Iowa
Park and Wichita county, heartily indorse
the efforts of Capt. Joe S. Works in organ
izing a colony with view of locating in
and occupying said territory when opened,
and which would be practical benefit to
Texas in general and the great northwest
portion of the state in particular.
Resolved, that the cooperation of the
cities and towns on the line and tributary
to the Fort Worth and Denver railway, be-
tween and including Fort Worth and
Quanah, be solicited to join in the move.
Resolved, that the settlement OF the Fort
Sill country will insure the extension of
the Rock Island and other railroads to
Texas and will also remove the barrier
which has existed and prevented in large
measure the development of the great Lone
Star state.
Resolved, that by united effort on our
part the hearty cooperation of the people
surrounding the Fort Sill country can be
secured and the results more speedily OBJ
tanned.
Resolved, that the press be solicited to
freely aid in this grand move for the benefit
of the people at large, and which will re-
peat what has been done in the Oklahoma
country, i. e., settle 100000 people in a re-
markable short space of time who will con-
tribute largely to the commercial interests
of Texas and especially in making success
of her deep water ports.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions
be sent the Fort Worth GAZETTE, Dallas
News, Houston Post, Kansas City Times,
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and all news
papers within the territory named, with a
request to publish same

The Cotton Market.

Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 15.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
t'utures-As we anticipated, New Or
leans and New York improved today. the
former and the latter to points from
yesterdays closing.
The advance was a little more than would
have occurred perhaps but for reason of
the predictions for the Caroliuas, Georgia,
North Alabama and Tennessee for tonight,
rs there was nothing to encourage buying
otherwise and after the government report
was received, only in part confirming pri-
vate reports about frost, there was q de-
cline that brought prices to nearly the clos
ing Of last night In both markets.
Jhc actual cotton in Il market like ours IS
much more likely TO influence futures than
in New York, where their stock is entirely
protected by contracts. The relation of
spots &c futures is here much more sympa-
thetic, as a great deal of our stock is IN
protected and has to be sold.
Premiums soon waste away when the
market becomes weak. It is safe to watch
the state of the market here for actua- cot
ton, as q basis for operations in futures in
this market. 1t is generally known here
that sales were being made at sc under the
quotations OF yesterday, but it offered no
inducement to buy January contracts over
80 or anything on that basis.
diO HlCoSiuS anu u iCCuS-
ton of Lice in quotations to-day does not
represent the market. We are not inter
ested in an adverse opinion, but we give
facts as we find them daily without refer
ence to the long or short side sellers.
We have a large number of readers, and
we give them the situation and our i'm
pressions, if we have any, about the mar
ket 1t looks to US as though spots must go
to point at which exporters can proftably
buy.
These figures have not yet been reached,
in our opinion. Liverpool closes steady at
about yesterdays quotations, after going
1-64 to 2-64d lower, and spots there are
11-lGd lower Port receipts to-day, $500
bales, against Al, 600 bales last year. Port
stocks, 10000 bales larger than last year.
Reeeipts here tomorrow estimated at 1900
baIes, against the same last year.
Spots closed quiet and steady. sales 400
bales, about 1-16 lower, balance unchanged.
& f. o. b. sales 1000. Demand for chiefly
strict middling to good middling and mid
ding 10 strict middling. Good middling
aRst'abovc neglected. The movement is
Still restricted by high prices in the inte-
rior. German buyers are the principal
operators.

THE WORLDS WHEAT DEFICIT.
Fifty Million Bushels Less Than the Crop
of Last Year

LONDON, Oct. 12.-The Times estimate
of the wheat harvest works out an average
of % 6-10 bushels per acre for England, the
extremes being II lilo bushels in Devon
shire and 3415 bushels in Essex The above
average, on the officially reported acreage,
would give a crop of 6S,3l6,000 bushels for
Great Britain and Ireland, making imports
of over 100, 00O. 600 bushels necessary on the
basis of last years consumption. On the
same basis France requires about 117,OO0,-
600 bushels. Allowing a surplus Of 225,-
000, 600 bushels for the United States, and
correcting the Vienna estimates to the fig
}spet, there still remains deficit this year
of over so. 60o, 900 bushels in the wheat crop
