NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New YORK, Sept. "a The chief fac
tor in the stock market to-day was the
revival of gold export rumors, which, 10
the present speculative temper naturally
exerted depressing effect. The street
had come to the conclusion that at least
temporary halt had been reached in
the outward movement Of gold and this
sentiment has been encouraged by the
reported steady, though moderate in
crease in the supply Of cotton and other
bills. Members of the late government
bond syndicate, however, still declare
that further gold exports at the moment
are improbable. The market was about
equal in volume of business to that of
the previous day, the dealings being
fairly we'll distributed The market
opened active and firm with slight gains
in some of the leading shares.
The bears promptly made a demonstra-
ton against the IadustriaIs and
soon extended their attention to the
Coalers and Changers. The downward
trend of prices was interrupted for but
a brief period, around midday.
The speculation left off weak in tone
with prices generally at the lowest of
the day.
Bonds were weak on a moderate
volume of trading The sales were
81, $50, 900.

New YORK, Sept "a. - The cotton mar
ket opened irregular at from two points
advance to four points decline and closed
steady at a net advance of 4a9 points.
The opening improvement was the re
suit of stability and activity shown at
Liverpool with an advance Of points.
Earlier cables, however, had reported an
advance of 3a4 points, and the drop TO
a net advance of 2 points caused local
selling and brought IN outside liquid
ating orders.
New Orleans telegraphed that the en-

been destroyed by worms in the past "a
hours and another port from Houston
said that the Texas C op would probably
not exceed /, 750, 900 to 1000, 600 bales
All of this tended to excite the market
and in the afternoon the activity was
very decided. Heavy sales for realizing
were made to day, but these were
promptly absorbed by new buyers and
the market actually advanced under
tremendous liquidation pressure. Large

Hoods Sarsaparilla Cures.

Almost every neighborhood con.
tains some one who has been helped
by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Mrs. ]. Tin.
ley Mullen, of Clearheld, Pa, writes
under date of Nov. 2Sth, as follows
Last winter our Oldest boy had the
mumps after which he got cold and it
turned to diphtheria. We did not
think he could get well, and after he
did recover he had not sufficient
strength to walk. He had no appe-
tite and we got bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and he began taking it.
In three days he was able to eat as
we'll as usual My husband had
catarrh Of the throat and the doctors
could not relieve him so he took
Hoods Sarsaparilla and he has not
been troubled since. Last spring
had pain across my kidneys which
troubled me a great deal and l was
also afflicted with swelling in my
th:oat l took two bottles of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and box of Hoods
Vegetable Pills, and have no such
troubles since.

DUNHAM AND SITTSER.
A NICE LEGAL QUESTION HAS ARISEN
SINCE JUDGE RICE HAS BEEN ELF
WAITED THE CONTEST.

The Dunham-Sttser judicial con.
test court at Laporte, Sullivan County,
adjourned last Saturday evening 10
meet again at that place on the Isth.
The commissioner to take testimony
will sit again in Tunkhannock on the
9th, and it is now thought the work
in Wyoming County will be completed
in the two days given it there. The
Sittser side made an effort to reopen
its case to add further to its bill of
particulars, charging more bribery,
but after considerable discussion, was
refused by the court, and the Sittser
side is in consequence closed, except
such matters of rebuttal as it may
have to bring. This males it look as
though the end might be reached by
fall. From the best reports obtain
able it appears that the Durham side
has been making substantial gains in
Sullivan County. 1t is the general
opinion that it has certainly gained
decidedly in Wyoming.
With the retirement Of Judge Rice
as member of the contest court to
assume his position as president Judge
of the Superior Court, there is great
legal question as to the status of the
court constituted to hear the judicial
contest. 1t seems generally conceded
that he cannot finish his work on the
commission to which he was appointed
IN this judicial district. Then can
the other two judges go on without
him and make report of their find
ing which will be legal ? 1t seems to
be the general opinion that Judge
Woodward as president judge of
Luzerne County will be commissioned
by the governor in his stead, but to
this the respondents will object. The
governor and attorney general seem as
much at sea as the other parties con-
cerned and whatever action shall be
taken it is evident that if the finding
of the reorganized contest court
should be adverse to Dunham, the
case would have to be reviewed by
the Supreme Court. There is no
precedent to throw light on this puzzle.
