The estimate OF the present years
crop is put AZ l2o, ,oo0, 900 pounds. AT
this rate America will have to look
out, as IL will find very formidable
rival In the Asiatic country. It is
stated that the Asihtic and Egyptian
cotton is packed much neater, and
more tightly compressed titan the
American, rendering 1t less liable to
spontaneous or other causes OF com
bustion, and for this reason is given
lower rate OF insurance in transit.

Pencil Counters.

In pencil factories pencils are
counted by an ingenious apparatus
which takes the form OF a number of
parallel grooves. An operative takes
a handful Of pencils and rolls them
along the board in which these grooves
are, with the result that each groove
is filed and the board set aside. As
the number of grooves in the boards
are known, this prevents any further
trouble In counting.

The Long Trip of Fasoination-Miss Muriei
Ina wild Country.
One OF the most talked-of and be-
paragraphed personages of the day is
Miss Menie Muriel Dowie, who OBJ
tanned fame year or so ago by cross
ing the Carpathian Mountains all
alone, sleeping in the cottages OF an
ignorant and simple-minded but court
eous peasantry, and now and again un-
der the stats.
Miss Dowie is a granddaughter of
Robert Chambers, the publisher, and
"a goddaughter of Mr.. James Payn.
To betray the age of a fascinating
young lady would be heartless, but
Miss Menie Muriel was % when
she took the grim scientists Of
the British Association by storm.
1t was somewhat of a novelty for
young lady of that age to stand up
before large audience, and with the
most winning manner, to tell of
travel in obscure villages where few.

New York market, and so few, or virtually
the prospect of making any adverse i'm
preston on current prices is not very en-
cOuraging to the bears and those who may
be temporarily working in line with them
and it would not be surprising should those
who are waiting for q downward turn in
prices have to wait until further advance
has been made But it is doubtful whether
at the moment this probability is clear
enough to warrant buying. A noteworthy
feature of the market is its broadening
character, stocks which have been long neg
lected now springlng into activity. In part
this is due to the development of the specu-
lative spirit, and in part to the improved
financial condition of the various roads.
The trunk lines are all reporting large gains
in earnings. and this explains the rise in
the Vanderbilts and connecting properties,
which has been one of the healthiest feat
ures of the market
The movement in Atchison also had its
foundation in increased earnings. In Read
ing, the sudden activity was due to dis
banding of the pool, which locked up some
400 900 shares, and so discouraged all specu-
lative dealings. An advance in coal, and
the approach of more active demand for
the article, also stiffened the coal proper
ties.
Several of the specialties, such as Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Ontario and Western and
Kansas and Texas, are growing more act
i've, all of which indicates a broader and
active market during the fall months.

DALLAS. Tex, Sept 21.-Just as the city
clock struck for noon to-day a fire alarm
was turned on which was quickly re-
sponded to by the fire department. The
fire originated in the residence of L. j.
Mcdonald on Anne avenue. The flames
communicated with the residence of Mrs
L. E. Hudson and in short space of time
both residences were mass of ruins. Nc
Donald'S house was valued at $500 with
insurance of sl400. Contents valued at
Sl400, insured for $500. Mrs. Hudson's
residence was valued at S2400 on which she
had $1,000 insurance. Contents valued at
$500 with $1,000 insurance. Mrs. HudsOn's
son had $500 in cash in the house and this
was burned. The fire is thought to have
originated from gasoline stove.
At 2:35 this afternoon fire was discovered
in the stables on the fair grounds, and in d
very short time the entire stable buildings
were mass of ruins. Just how the fire
originated is mystery, but 1t is known to
have caught in that portion of them occu-
pied by Powers & Hooker of Fort Worth.
The valuable stallion and racer "Wilkes, u
owned by D. 3. Powers, was burned
Powers & Hooker lost all their effects.
The fine stables of Fl. B. Sanborn of
Houston were next to CO. and with them
eleven fine stations are known to have
burned. Sanborn'S stables were about six
hundred feet long and valued at $500
The insurance on them is not known The
celebrated Tommie Anderson, owned by A.
N Smith of Kyle, was burned, as was the
well known Iona, owned by ]. T. Harris Of
Seguin.
So far seventeen fine horses are known to
have been lost, and the number will prob
ably reach twenty.
Reno Defiance, fast horse belonging to
O'Connor & Campbell, was taken out of the
stable safe and sound
The stables had total length of about
twenty-six hundred feet, and were built of
wood. They were valued at $500 and in
sured for $500
At the time of the fire Mrs. Cation was
lying in house near by too sick to move
Mrs. King rushed through the binding
smoke and removed the sick lady to place
of safety. Mrs. King then released 100
horses from the Sanborn stables, and this
number were saved.
The work of rebuilding the stables will
begin in the morning and no serious results
as far as the fair is concerned will follow.
AL the horsemen lost everything in the
way of feed, carts, harness, saddles, etc.
The entire loss can in no way be estimated
to-day, but will probably reach $4,000 or
$40 600

good many grassers and pigs included.
Prices for good hogs have held up fairly
well.
The Cincinnati Price Current says: The
distributing demand is good, and the export
clearances of product for the week were
fair in quantity but not liberal, while the
comparison is with an especially large
movement year ago. The week has been
favorable for corn, it being dry in most of
the prominent corn-growing districts, but
maturity is not progressing quite as rapidly
as desirable, unless hard frosts can be cor
respondingly delayed. Light frost would
be beneficial to corn now or in the near fu-
ture in a considerable breadth of the crop

New YORK, Sept. 2l.-The stock market
opened the new week this morning with
another burst of activity, which bid fair for
some time to eclipse the record of last Fri
day; but trading in the afternoon fell away
materially, and, while the trades of the day
were extraordinarily heavy, they were
within the sum of the other day. The
feature of to-day's dealing, how
ever was the unusually large number of
stocks dealt in, together with the
unusually even distribution of business.
The upward movement also made steady
progress. The market finally closed active

fractionally higher, but Northern Pacific

IL up.
Railroad bonds very active.
