guest that he had observed that the

and that arrangements had been made
to make it general fete day in his

motive that had prompted these pre-
parations, seemed overcome with
! pleasure. He thanked the emperor

quarters to rest himself. Seeing how
much he needed this rest, the emper-
or left strict orders that no one disturb
him.
''The dawn of the morrow was beau
tiful and clear, and it was welcomed
by the firing of guns from the forts
and ships of the navy in the bay.
Many fireworks were set off all over
the city, and especially near the pal
ace, where the great man lived, so as
to make him feel as much at home as
possible. 1t is said that some boys
went and bought the largest firecrack-
or they could find in the shops of the
Gina, and then. forming in military
line, marched to the EURO kwan to
give large salute to the great hero

HEAVY RECEIPTS CONTINUE

New York, Sept. 19.-The cotton
market opened at an advance OF 10
& points. further advanced 10 to IL, and
closed very steady at net gain OF IL
to II points. Trading was active ana
excited. The improvement was due to
UNEXPECTED strength in it developed
nv the English market. Private cables
stated that the English adviees were
dne to rumor that Neill would esti-
mate the crop at 7,750,000, or 1,S50,00O
bales, and that this report would be
out Monday. 1T was also claimed that
parties who had been selling cotton IN
Liverpool all week were active uyers.
Soon after the market opened there
was a temporary reaction on the heavy
receipts. Later there was sharp adj
vance on covering, following a reported
denial by Neill that he was aaout to
make any crop estimates.
HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER.
New York, Sept. 19-(Special)-
Foreign advices were distinctly better
than anticipated, and were due, our
cables state, to the rumor of a reduced
crop estimate by prominent crop ex-
pert. whose view carries great weight.
This rumor was denied, but our mar
ket closed steady at a sharp advance
over last evening and with less disposi-
ton to 10 okfor and substantial de-
cline.
1T is felt that the crop promises
to be less than the amount required
for actual consumption estimated, II
trade revives in America through IA
vorable political results in November
and under these conditions with no
reserve supplies, cotton should sell
materially higher.
This belief has sustained the marke t
in the face of the large receipts and
tight money, and viii furnish founda-
ton for further advance.
At present the market has little
speculative support, and the sharp
fluctuations are the result of local
conditions and the actions of exporters
Freights are scarce, compelling eN.
porters often to hedge their purchases
here.
