General Cotton Markets.
Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Sept. 2.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton was at one time to F points higher but lost the improvement and closed easy at a net decline of 10 to 12 points with sales of 25S, GOO bales.
 Today's features: The speculation today was less active and the fluctuations in prices were within comparatively narrow limits. At first there was an advance under the in- fiuence of a rise in the Liverpool market both for futures and spot. The spot mar kets in this country were higher in most in- stances and fairly active and some belated shorts, nervous over the continued advance ing tendency of Liverpool, covered, while unfavorable crop news continues to be re- ceived. But it was day of realizing, and under the pressure of heavy sales to secure profits on the recent sharp advance prices reacted, lost the early improvement and slowly declined. Liverpool and the south sold.

In Wall Street.

New York, Sept 2-The security markets were buoyant and business was larger than any other previous day for long time past. The overwhelming victory of the republican party in Vermont was the main factor at work. Bulls on stocks were much encour- aged by the unprecedented majority re- ceived by the sound money" candidates, and extended their lines in all departments of the stock exchange. Jn addition commits sion houses reported more inquiry from out of town sources, and taken altogether the feeling was decidedly more confident as to the future of values. Money ruled compara> lively easy at 407 per cent, with the great bulk of the business at 5q6 per cent, and which led to reports of further imports of gold in the near future The developments of the day completely demoralized the bear forces, and the shorts were eager bidders for stocks right up to the close of business At the opening the standard stocks bounded up anywhere from A to per cent but part of the gain was soon lost under free sales to realize profits. Offering of long stock both for London and local account was quickly noon resumed its upward course. Louisville and Nashville, Manhattan and Baltimore and Ohio were laggards at times. Louis- vile and Nashville was influenced by the fear of a further cut in rates in the south, while Manhattan was depressed on.talk Of poor earnings.

Chicago. Sept; 2.-This was. dull day in wheat, with prices inclined lower. At the start the number of orders executed were less than usual, and throughout the remain der of the session business was barely ac- tive. December wheat opened at 5SaI@5S7sc, declined to 57asc, closing at 5S@5S1sc, 1ac un- der yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and 1sM1c lower, closing steady
 Corn opened with frmness, a gift from wheat subsequently, retaining fair propor- tion of the strength, but not attracting at tention through any untoWard activity. When the weakness in wheat became pro- nounced corn prices succumbed to like feeling. May corn opened at 24Ac sold be- tween 247sQ25 and 241ac, closing at 249sc; hc under yesterday. Cash corn was easy and Ac lower.
 Oats were generally steady, the situation in that grain being more encouraging than 1n the two leaders. May oats closed kc lower Cash oats were steady.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter,


 New York, Sept. 2.-(Special.) )-Liverpool gave us another handsome advance today, and January opened at S.30 and sold little later at S.32. Prices fuctuated all day be- tween the opening figures and 8.15. Every time the price fell below S.19 there was active buying and quick recovery, but in . the last fifteen minutes the German bears, asserting that the small room traders were pretty well loaded, raided the market viciously offering large blocks of January. The small bulls took fright and hastened to unload at aRY price before the close. The result was a great pressure to sell for a few minutes. January closed at S.10QS. II, with the tone easy.
 We do not think the bears can cause any material decline. They are all in dread of the coming bureau report and we shall not surprised before the middle of the month to see January selling higher than it has yet sold this year.

A romantic phase of life in the Yu-
kon region is thus depicted by the
Alaska Mining Record: "Marriage-
able females are evidently scarce in
the Yukon country, and in or, at de-
mand. judging from reports, as every
maiden, spinxter and widow has a
score OF suitors, men rich in mines
bat poor in family blessings, who lay
their love, backed by sacks of gold,
at their feet Grey headed men work
their rockers and sluices day and night
to clean up bigger sack than COM
pstitor in Che race, to back up his
vooines to lanky spinstsr. and bloody
duels, at which pistols crack, are
fought by the younger rivals who
worship at the shrine of buxom
maiden"

Geology of Camp Floyd.

Director Wolcott of tho United
State Geol, gical Survey has just Issued
q report OH the Economic Geology
of the Mercur Mining District, says
the Inter mountain Mining Review,
prepared by James E. Spur, who
made an examination of the district
some eighteen months ago. It is pre-
faced by brief report on the Oquirrh
mountains by Prof. Emmons. At
some future time the Review will
publish all abstract of this work, but
the more important conclusions reach
cd by Mr.. Spur are in brief as fol-
lows:
The Camp Floyd veins ara true con-
facts Of lime and prophry; the min
eralization occurred from below, that
of the silver vein through an aqueous
solution, and that of the gold ledge,
at later period, through gases and
vapors; the region of greatest miner
alization is the lower point of contact
between the second or middle sheet of
of porphyry and the lime, and imme-
diately below such point of contact;
the form or state in which the gold
was deposited has NOT been determined
but it was probably telluride, as
traces of tellurium have been found in
the unoxydized ores; in the oxydized
ores the gold is probably now i'll a free
or metallic state, but of invisible fine
ness; The mineralizsd zones IS about
1000 feet wids and of undetermined
length. The opinion is advanced Tat
az greater depth is attained the char
acter of the ore will change, tellnrium
will be found, higher valuex obtained,
and smelling will then be the method
of treatment.
