New York. Sept. 15.-The stock mar
ket today justified by its movement the
theory of the more experienced dealers.
This contingent has expected a reaction
airy tendency, based upon probable gen
eral desire to make profits and the fore
cast was realized to the letter. The vol
ume of business, though moderate, was
fairly well distributed. An early show of
strength was made, partly due to higher
London quotations and foreign purchases
of international favorites in this market.
The initial decline extended to Lie in
Burlington. The Changers and Indus
trials led in point of activity, and together
with some of the specialties afterwards
bore the brunt of the reactionary move
ment. The upward movement soon halted
and bear demonstration ensued, which
was effective in depressing prices to the
extent of is per cent in Tobacco from
the early high level. The decline in this
speciality was attended by reports of in
creased cutting as result of the long
continued fight between the trust and its
competitors in the plug tobacco business.
Many other losses were quite severe. Bur

The attack on the general list was facili-
tated by a firm market, call loans averag-
ing the top figure of yesterday, 6M1
points. A few transactions were made at

pending trouble in mercantile circles in
this city. These, however, were not veri-
fed. This afternoon speculation was
marked by dullness and a nervous tenn
per. The closing was weak at about the
lowest. Bonds receded in sympathy with
the depression in stock prices, but except
in few instances the losses were not sig

New Orleans. Sept. 15.-Speculation in
cotton today has been moderate and
prices show firm tendency. The senti-
ment seems bullish and sellers limited,
and it proved an easy task to put prices
up. In the early trading our market
failed to respond to the indifferent tone
of advices from Liverpool and opening
prices were above the close of last night
1t was generally expected the weekly bli-
reau would prove bullish and when it was
announced the market improved further
until an advance of u points was made
on the day. The receipts continue on
an enormous scale, but the bullish senti-
ment is such that traders are ignoring
them. They are likely to be felt when
least expected.

accounts and the bullish character of the

in Arkansas is pending. Loyal Democrats in the bast who have labored earnestly and long for their party's success, but who do not subscribe to the new dispensation of radical extremists on the silver question, are more hated than the life long enemies of the party. And this before the National Democratic Conyention-the final tribunal to decide all party questions-has met to determine the future financial policy of the Democratic party.
 The control of the Gosette by Col. Smithee is menace to the Demo- cratic party in this State. Four years ago Col. Smithee was with Pattison and the Colorado gang of so-called Democrats who bolted the National Democratic ticket because the National Democratic Conyen- tion of 1892 refused to adopt plat form for the free coinage of silver at 16 to l. Should the coming National Democratic Convention declare against free silver, would Col. Smithee bolt the Democratic party and support the Populists as he did in Colorado four years ago? It will be observed that the Gasette is already supporting Dan Jones for Governor, and Jones is advoea- ting a bolt if things don't go his way. If Jones bolts, will the Gazette under Smithee bolt too and try to take the Arkansas Democracy with it?
 All of these are pertinent ques- tions at this time, and we present them for the consideration of Demo- crats who believe in party loyalty and obedience to the organization of the party.
