Should Be Reinstated.

The Register, as we'll as hun
dreds of Gainesville's citizens,
is pleased to learn that there is
a good prospect for Jim"
O'Brien, the popular Santa Fe
conductor on the local from
Gainesville to Purcell, being
reinstated soon. On account of
a wreck in the canyon near
Dougherty, which occurred a
little more than two weeks ago,
Mr.. O'Brien was laid off. Had
the Santa Fe company been
properly advised as to the cause
of the wreck, Jim O'Brien
would have been at work to-
day. The editor Of the Register
has known him since he was a
prattling babe on his mothers
knee, and can testify that a boy
of more exemplary habits does
not live i'll this country. He is
a model young man and was no
more responsible for the un-
fortunate wreck than a person
who was a thousand miles from
the scene, and not an employe
of the company. Old "Sham-
rock" as he is familiarly known
by the people of Gainesville, is
a sober, industrious young
man who has never in life
sbirked responsibility, and as
before stated if the officials Of
the Santa Fe had been acqaint.
cd with the situation at the
time, Jim O'Brien would mo-
have been laid off one day

estInG7cottoa Statement.
Friday. Oct. 26. '96.


Dear Sir-The improvement
in Liverpool today proved to be
a surprise to the trade and was
brought about by the lighter
American interior receipts, cou-
pied to the issuance of the offic-
ial Indian Weather Bureau Re-
port, showing a decrease of 20
per cent in the condition there.
Our market naturally in re-
sponse to Liverpool opened five
points higher, and advanced 10
points additional in anticipa-
ton Of frost i'm the Memphis dis
trict and heavy rains in Texas.
Near the close prices gave way
some, declining four points,
thereby reducing the net gain
ON the day to 16 points.
Secretary Hester makes the
amount brought into sight dur
ing the past week 1913, 900 this
year, against Al, 900 last year,
1000 year before last, end
41S,O0O in 1893. The total
brought into sight from Sep
tember 1st to date has been
4, $4,000 this year, against
100000 last year, 1,5O9, 900
year before last, and 1,134, 900
in 1893.
There was a good demand for
spots today at 1-16 advance.
Should this demand continue,
howeve,, prices may advance
further. We do not think
though that it will before the
election, and therefore, owing
to the many conflicting factors
which are liable to arise, we be
lieve it best to be prudent, for
the moment, and advise realiz-
ing on strong periods, and re-
naming out of the market, un-
til matters become settled after
the election.
Yours very truly,
