Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 9--(Special)-The market was exceedingly weak in the forenoon to- day. January opened at 7.82 and declined on further liquidation of long cotton to ITS. The selling, which broke the market, was the result of heavy receipts. But as the movement at interior towns was posted 1t appeared to be somewhat less than was feared and heavy buying at once set in. In a very short time January had reacted to 7.9l, and after minor fluctuations closed at 7.Ss, with the tone steady
 Prices tomorrow will hinge chiefly on the bureau report In case it should be bad cotton may have an upward furry, but we fear that there can be no lasting advance until the receipts show a general and mate rial shrinkage.

NEEDED PROTECTION.

Wool producers of America have
generally claimed that they could not
profitably produce wool in competition
with Australia, New Zealand and
South America because of the climatic
advantages and low-priced labor that
was in favor of those countries. Hence
it is that our wool producers have as q
rulesclamored for a protective duty on
raw wool. Whether facts will Justify
them in this demand is question. 1t
is possible, and altogether probable
that the cost of transportation from
those wool producing countries to the
United States would afford all the pro-
lection necessary to the American wool
growers, if they were protected from
another and more serious competition,
the wooden rags of Europe. From this
source the American wool producers,
Is well as the consumers of wooden
FOODS, are In the greatest need Of pro-
ection.
In round numbers, the wool product |

west OF that place. 1t struck the resi-
dence of Frank Malloy, demolishing it
entirely.
Next in its track was the residence
of Conrad Kirchner, which was torn
from its foundation and badly wrecked.
About two miles farther north it
struck the residence OF Peter Elan
merry, which was demolished, together
with the barns and outbuildings. The
familo escaped by going into the eel
lar. The house of Michael Maunon
was next in its path and this, together
with all the outbuildIngs, was torn to
pieces and carried away. The family
| consisted of Michael Mannon, his wife
and five children, who were bad in
| jured and were all unconscious when
| found. The storm was the worst ever
| known in this section, and was ac.
companied with heavy hail. The
storm gained in strength as it travelled
northward, and it was thought great
damage was done, but no particulars
have been received from that section.
The little town of Epiphany lay di
reccly across its path, and was com
pletely wiped off the face of the earth,
not a building being left standing

or less seriously injured in that i'm.
