points on the day. closing barely steady,
at the lowest figures.
our market opened off to points,
owing to the tight money in New York,
and ruled weak until noon, when the
tone was turned by the decrease in the
receipts, and a good advance followed,
which lead prices up to s points above
the opening. While this is but slight
advance yet, when we consider the mar
rowness of the market Cor the last week,
1t can be classed as a good upward move
ment.
Port receipts show decline, and all
our advices point to a great advance in
cotton after the election. While the mar
ket continued to-day in the narrow course
that we have predicted. and which is ex
pected for the remainder of the week still
the tone at the closing was exceedingly
firm
New York, Oct. 30.--The Sun says of
cotton: ''The total interior receipts for the
week were 176,76l bales. Futures declined
8 to points, but recovered this, and closed
firm at net advance of 2 to 4 points with
sales of 1884, 800. The speculation to-day was
small local affair, and at the close prices
showed no important changes as compared
with last nights figures. The Liverpool
news was disappointing, and at the open
ing prices declined slightly. But the in
terror movement for the week showed a
material falling off at most points, while
the Interior stocks also showed a decrease
and on small local demand, prices rallied
and advanced slightly, closing at the top
figures of the day"

THE London Financial News says;
There is plain moral in the remark
that il the United States would venture
to cut berself adrift from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back, ard
would command the markets Of both
continents. The barrier of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of a Gus
tum house. The bond of silver would
be stronger than any bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about it, that if
the United States was to adopt silver
basis tomorrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out. Every
American would be protected, not only
at home, but at every other market. OF
course the United States would have to
suffer to a certain extent through hav-
ing to pay her Obligations abroad in
gold, but the loee on exchange under
this head would be mere drop In tie
bucket compared with the profits to be
reaped from the markets of South Am
erica and Asis, to say nothing of Eu-
rope. The marvel is that the United
States has not long ago seized the OPP
portunity. 1t hes been piece Of luck
that it has never occurred to the Amer
lcan 10 scoop US out of the WORLDS
markets by going on silver basis, and
1t might serve US right if, irritated by
the coutemptuous apathy OF our govern
ment to the gravity of the silver prot
lem, the Americans retglIgte by freezing
out gold. L. could easily be done.

The Old Sycamore Gone.

On Monday morning last a famous
land mark, around which cluDg memo
ries of the most notorious crime and
act of Tetribution IN the history Oi
Globe. was t5oughtle essly destroyed
1t was the old sycamore tree which
stood in the middle OF Broad street,
opposite Joe Redman's property, which
since the evenlful morning OF August
"a, 1882, was known as "Haugmsn'r
Tree," aud the ever-recurrlng wind,
sopghing through it's aged branches,
sang rt rtquiem for the repoRe of Hawley
and Crimes, whose reluctant exit from
this vale OF tears was made from Its
sturdy bough.
IL was IN the forenoon Of August 20,
1882, that Andy II u, express messen-
ger, and DIR. ". F. Vail were murdered
and the express robbed of $500 ip
coin by Hawley and Crimes, Who were
arrested two days later, sbd on the
morning Of August "a, st = O'Clock,
were lynched for the atr' cIous crime
by sev-rai hundred enrsged citizens.

but hs was afterwards legally convicted
of c. implicitly in the crime and Sc fenced

The fire of June 2, 1895, sspped the
life of the old sycamore, but as It did
not erdanger paessrs by or abetruci

remain as a monument to the sturdy
g irit IF justice which prevailed here
in early years. and is worthy of COM

"PERHAPs the most common way In
which water is wasted in Arizona is
through the multiplicity of small lateral
ditches. The usual custom in this
locality is for each individual to have
his private lateral from the canal 20 his
land. In some places as many ss three
or four of these bitches will be found on
each side CT public road. AS these are
sometimes of great length, generally
carry but q small head of water, and
are always used iptermitently, their
aggregate loss of water is enormous.
Much could be saved by q number of
neie bors forming An association snd

common use, and when the water sup
