THE MARKETS.
Cotton Letter,


 New York, Nov. 30.-(Speeial.) .)-Biverpool today failed to respond to our decline of yes- terday and opening prices there were slight ly better, January selling on the call at S.41, but there was an absence of buying orders and the receipts for the day being some what heavier than of late many holders threw their cotton upon the market, caus- ing decline. Stop orders were caught and considerable liquidation of weakly margined cotton followed. January declined to BPS and closed at S.29dS.SO, with the tone easy. As the season advances the crop shortage, as reflected in the movement, becomes more pronounced and indisputable. The receipts of the week are so small as to startle even the bears, and notwithstanding the enorm- ous yield of last season. the visible supply today is far below the visible supply at this date in 1894, 1893 and 1892, if we may judge by the advices we get from all parts of the south. The movement is likely to get rela- lively lighter as the winter advances. We do not believe that in the face of the present outlook for the cotton supply there can be any serious or permanent break in prices until there shall be an awakening from the existing apathy in speculation. The dullness and sagging character of the market may continue sooner or later, how ever we expect that the demand spinners, both here and abroad, will give us an inn petuous to prices and that revival of speculative activity will follow, which will cause a higher market than we have yet seen.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Nov 30.-The Russian, Argen- tine and Australian crop of wheat were re- ported today by Dornbusch of Liverpool and the winter wheat crop of this country by Orange Judd Farmer In general way the crop were reported in good condition. That of the United States were given a low esti- mated condition, S5.3 per cent, but it was stated that the ground held sufficient mois- ture to carry the plant through to spring, the acreage as 95 per cent larger than harvested last year, and fully as large as svdentv %dd sTwn ,a ast year The eroWd % today large deliveries Of wheat on December con- tracts than they have hitherto been. It is pretty well understood that no matter what ever the volume may be the wheat will find its way back to the elevators so that from the standpoint of supply and demand evinced few. days ago. The difference be- tween December and May was subjected to a little further widening today; considera- Dle liquidation taking place in the former May wheat opened at 6O7sc, sold between 601a and 60&c, closing at 6O5sc, shade lower than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady and unchanged.
 orn-Comparatively light receipts of corn and a fairly steady wheat market en- tolerably firm tone, whilst far from bull ish outlook prevented them from exhibiting any inclination to ascend. In consequence of the existing condition an almost un- changed market was noted and the absence of speculative inducements together with the half holiday session confined business to the smallest proportions May corn opened at 29c, sold between 2S7s@29 and 296l29Isc closing at 29c, unchanged from yesterday. Cash corn was easy, closing Ac lower.
 Oats-Prices for oats hung around one position for the greater part of the day. Shortly before the end of the session cash oats began to display weakness and the futures sympathized with the other, de- clining about Ac. May oats closed 5@Ac under yesterday.
 Provisions-Changing from the near to the distant futures and general liquidation comprised the bulk of the business, which was anything too large in provisions today. light run of hogs came in at the yards and prices for tomorrow, advanced Dc per 100 pounds. That and the early firmness of grain rendered aid to products, but at the close there was less strength than ear Her in the session. May pork closed Dc lower, May lard shade higher and May ribs unchanged.
 The domestic markets were quiet and steady.
 The leading futures ranged as follows,

"Let,s Have Peace ,,

Says the Oneonta NeWS-DlSpatch:
 However we may differ upon minor points, let there be no discord in the dem- ocratic ranks. In unity there Is strength, so let US be united for the common good of Alabama In it's present financial con- dition the state needs man of financial sense like Capt. Joseph F.. Johnston at the helm 70 steer the ship of state. He is the peer of any democrat in the state, and the goldite that would object to him on account of his financial views is at heart an enemy to the prosperity of Ala bama.

 Irodays features. Statistics were ignored and the absence of speculation fixed the prices for the day. At first there was a slight rise, due to the fact that Liverpool paid TO attention to the decline here yes- terlay, and that it's spot sales were very lowering for Q Saturday. But this was speedily succeeded by a downward move ment of prices owing to the liquidation of a long interest here and at the south. A good many stop orders were caught on the way down, and this fact nearly accelerated the decrease. In addition to the speculative sell ing of cotton there was said to have been quite a selling by commission houses here again purchasing at advantage.

WITH THE FARMERS.

Headland Sun: Our farmers are i'm proving their orchards by setting out more young fruit trees.
 
 Headland Sun: Our farmers are buy ing salt in large quantities. This means plenty of meat next year.
 Headland Sun: MT. T. R. Whitten one of our prosperous farmers, killed a very fine hog this week. It weighed 360 pounds.
 Alabama Enquirer: Reports of the po- tato crop for the current year show that it is the largest crop that has ever been produced in this country.
 
 Troy Messenger: And still the mules and horses go. It seems that there is no end to the demand. Messrs. Henderson & Rainer sent out drove of eleven day before yesterday and another drove of dozen or so this morning.
 2 Troy Messenger: James L. Gilmore killed a hog this week which weighed 527 pounds. He got thirty-five gallons of lard from this one hog. Pea Spivey killed one hog which was IS months old and weighed 599 pounds. He has plenty of small ones yet to kill.
 Alabama Enquirer: The farmers of AldDdHd owe leSS money ana nave more meat and corn than they have had at any previous year during the last decade. Instead of mouthing hideous sentences, delineating our terrible condition, our senators should visit us often enough to ascertain the truth.
 North Alabamian: Those of our citi- zens who killed hogs last week are not at all uneasy in consequence of the warm weather which followed the cool snap of Tuesday night and Wednesday. They packed 1t in plenty of salt and have no fear of losing it. Backbones, spare ribs and sausage were plentiful on the streets. Huntsville Tribune: Our county seems to be full of prospectors, many of whom have come through by private convey ance and seem determined to settle The Tribune earnestly hopes that each new settler may be located on good land. so that future disappointments will not be in store for them. It is of greater con- sequence that one new conner be satis- factorily located, than that six be loca ted but disappointed.
 Evergreen Courant: In view of the overwhelming crop of corn and other farm products which have been raised this year, together with large supply of home raised meat, and the reasonably prosperous condition which the farmers as rule are in, we cannot believe that they will plant an increased acreage in cotton another year. They realize that it. would be suicidal to their interests to dd so. They have learned how the law of supply and demand governs the price andit would be detrimental to their in- terests to make repetition of the past.

Mohammedan Tree Worship.

To certain degree tho inhabitants of all Mohammedan countries are worship CTS of the tree known as the date palm One of the prophets most supreme and binding injunctions is, Honor thy pater- nal aunt, the date palm, for in paradise was it created and from the very heap of dust out of which Adam s body was formed" "
 The Mohammedans also have tradi- tion to the effect that when Adam and Eve were driven from the garden they were allowed to take with them date seed, and that from that single seed sprang all tho date trees now known. By some admirable providence the original date seed was planted, and the tree grew where the temple of Mecca now stands, and from its trunk was hewn the cradle which often lulled tho infant Mohammcd to sleep. Tho Mohammedans declare that all prayers are fulfilled which are mado with tho knees pressing upon palm wood or with the same kind of wood In tho hand.-St. Louis Republic.

A HEAVY FALL OF SNOW
In Colorado, Which Has Tied Up Trains-Of 1nca1crlable Value
 to Farmers.

DENVER, Col, March 30.-A blizzard struck Denver at 3 o'clock this morning, and heavy wet snow fell for twelve hours steadily. It was accompanied for time by thunder and ightning. The street rail- road companies were barely able to keep a portion of their cars running during the day, and so heavy was the snowfall that great uneasiness was felt by tenants and property owners for their roofs, which were slowly piliug up tons of weight.
 Early this morning gable of the Colum- pine building on Twenty-eighth street was blown iu by the wind and several small buildings have been crushed in by their load of snow, but DO damage of any inn portance has yet resulted from this snow fall.
 The storm is general throughout the mountain region and extends east as far as the state line.
 No freight trains are being run either north or west of Cheyenne, and trains on all of the roads cen tering in Denver are badly delayed. The South Park branch of the Union Pacific Is snowbound in the park and no trains are moving on that division.
 At Grand Junction, the Rio Grande westei n trains are all tied up on account of the recent washout. The temperature is high and the snow is not drifting except in the South Park, where a fierce wind is blowing.
 The snowfall will be of incaloulable value to the agricultural and stock grow ing interests.

Hindooism and IsIamism.

That the aso, 900, GOO inhabitants of tho continent of India should over become ono nation is so wild an improbability, and, even if possible, matter of so many cen. turies, that It's assumed realization cannot be made the basis of practical politics for Hindooism and Islam show no signs of decay, and the antagonism between thoir followers is on tho increase.
 In the traditions of history, one of tho most powerful clements of national senti ment, the pride of the one is tho shame of the other. Tho Mussulman glories in Aurangzeb. The followers of Gobind Singh and Sevajee detest his memory. h. termarriage is impossible and is n sin even among tho myriad oastes of Hindoos. There is no historical example of such miracle as the amalgamation into one na- tion of such a multitude of diverse ele- ments, and if it is to bo effected the first steps have yet to be taken.-National Re view
