Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 19.-(Special.)- Reports of
frost at various points in the cotton belt
caused a sharp advance in Liverpool and a
rise of about Is or Is points here, but the
greater part of the advance was lost before
the close. January opened at S03, advanced
to S.O4 and rapidly declined. with scarcely
anything like rally to 790, closing at 1910
1872, with the tone steady. After the close
prices were a couple of points lower. The
trouble is that there are too many bulls, and
upon any advance there is too great pres
sure to realize profits.

In Wall Street.

New York. Oct 19.-The stock market was
anything but active today. the sales footln1g
up only 1872 474 shares, but there was radl-
cal change in the temper of speculation ana
a bullish tone characterized the dealings
throughout The upward movement received
its first inpetus from the buoyancy and ex-
element in the grain markets, which ad-
vanced sharply under the influence OF
brisk foreign demand. In addition to this
the renewed weakness of sterling exchange
exercised a favorable influence, as the re-
duction OF a full cent in the posted rates for
long sterling and y cent in demand rate
foreshadows additional gold imports to this
country at an early date. The high rate or
interest here practically insureS more re-
ceipts of gold unless the Bank of England
rate is put up this week. There were several
reactions IN the stock markeI dur t, tn T.,
the rates for money, but each decline
brought in a number OF buying orders which
not only rallied the list but leo 10 sun
higher range of quotations than was cur
rent before The rise was equal to 12n3A
per cent and was due in great measure 70
continued strength and advance In the other

NAMER'S BLOWS DAzED FITz. The Winner Says Peter Hit Him Hard Un- l,t. der the Heart.


 -Eitzsimmons acknowledged he was dazed from the effects of Maher's blows. "He caught me twice under the heart with his left" said Fitz. "and then he gave me one on the neck with his right. I was a little dazed by the last blow, but recovered quickly and was ready in five seconds Peter led at me with his right but ducked 1t. He then came for my ribs with his left He stepped back and before he had recovered himself I had put my right squarely on the left point of his jaw. It was what1was wait ing for. Lucky blow? Mo- I was laying for 1t and got it just as I wanted it. I did not expect to get this chance to put 1t on Peter so soon. I rather expected to use it about the third round"
 Did he punch hard?"
 Yes; got one in the face from his left tiiat was a sumner, but as it was only in my face it did not have any serious effect. Peter is good, hard, game fight CT, and I am sorry he made such a poor showing I did not find him any harder to whip than he was when whipped him before. It was said, I hear. that was nearly out. That is great mistake There was no time that I did not have supreme confidence in my ability to whip my antagonist. He has improved some in cleverness, but he has not got rid of his slowness, and man must be quick as well as clever in prize ring"

KlNETOsCoPE SCHEME FAILED.
Big Loss Sustained by the EnterprisinI
 Promoters.

Big Loss Sustained by the Enterprising
 Promoters.
 It is estimated that the Kinetoscope company lost between $20,000 and $25,0OO by the failure, or practical failure, of the the fight. Dan Stuart had little or no money when he began arrangements for this pugilistic carnival and it was pretty we'll understood that the sinews of war were being furnished by the kinetoscope people. So we'll was this known that the managers of Maher and Fitzsimmons are said to have "held up' the manager of the company.
 A section of the articles of agreement gave Stuart all privileges, and this was waived at the strikers" But 1t is prob able that some compromise was arrived at, for the kinetoscope people were too far involved in financial sense to have raised any obstacles to the consumma- ton of the match.
 It is estimated that the company would have made $500,000 had it been clear day and had the battle extended a long number of rounds The idea was to charge 10 cents a round, and at this rate the promoters would have coined money all over the world. It is perhaps well for the interests of the ring that the scheme was failure.

JOHN L. FAVORSFITz.
He Thinks It Would Be Long Fight. but
 Corbett Would Lose.

Los Angeles. Cal, Feb. 25.-Jchn l.. Sullivan arrived this afternoon from Ar.zona and for the first time learned the full details of the Fitzsimmons-Maher fight.
 "Maher surprised me-" said he. He ought to have done better. There is report that I picked Maher out to win. It ain't the truth. thought there would be a least five or six rounds. Bob Fftz- simmons can do Corbett. It would be a long fight, but Fitz would be victor. Cor bett ought to have been a preacher. He was good man, but he isn't now. don't care to say who think is the best heavy weight fighter in the country. Big prize fights are gone. People are down on them and it costs too much money to get good men together. That, talk or Slavin is as good as nigger show. That shows that what said about talking and not fighting is right. From what l read of the fight Fltz waited for a chance to get in and do Maher up and did it. Ma her showed his weakness when he fouled. You can always bet that man is mighty shaky when he tries to foul It ain't square fighting"
