NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Nov 21-TO-days brief
session was dominated by the bears who
directed the special pressure against the
granger group. The recent unfavorable
gross returns published and the predic-
ton of continued light exhibits for some
time to come, based upon the decreased
movement of grain, were the arguments
advanced in favor of lower prices Liqui-
dation was evident in some instances and
checked tendency toward improvement
in other properties. Some of the low
price stocks figured prominent in the de-
cline. Decided weakness was also APP
parent in a few of the usually inactive
stocks ON very light dealings, however
The bank statement was exceptionally
favorable, showing, for instance, an in
crease of $21 ,937 900 in deposit, but in
view of the decidedly easier monetary con-
ditions, exerted no appreciable influence
upon prices The closing was at the
lowest of the day at net concessions aver
aging a point. Railway bonds during
the week were less active than in the
preceding week, and there was an abatc
ment Of the aggressive strength then re
corded i'm the inactive issues Compare
tive prices show concessions of 1d2 per
cent on the speculative issues. except
Reading, which was sustained by the
progress made in placing the property in
more stable basis. The aggregate sales
were $S,453 600 Governments were
quite active and prices were held. The
sales were $4,000. Silver certificates
were irregular with an improving tenden-
cy on transactions of $4,000.

New York. Nov. 20-The cotton mar
ket opened at a decline of 2d4 points,
steady in tone, and made a feeble rally
about the closing prices of the previous
day. The market was limp and listless
throughout. The early decline was due
to heavy receipts at the ports to-day, and
to a predicted large movement the COM
ing week, estimated in some cases run
ming as high as 315,000 bales, while news
from the Southern port market was un-
satisfactory and cables disappointing.
The market closed steady with prices one
point net higher TO one point lower
HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER,
New York, Nov. 21-(SpeciaD Euro
pean advices were disappointing, but the
opening of our market, though lower,
showed the absence of any pressure to
sell and showed also the presence OF
buying orders from Liverpool, which
were increased during the day to limits
over the opening quotations. The execu-
ton Of these orders caused the market
to improve and close steady at yester-
days prices We had the pleasure of
reading the circular, issued by Messrs.
Nell Bros. of London, on November
the 18th, containing two dispatches
from Mr.. Henry Neill, of New Orleans,
which will prove interesting. They are
as follows The first dated November
9th: Market excited by frost kilograms,
but it was only killed in exposed spots.
In most States Fahrenheit registered 81
degrees minimum, which has little effect
when plant is so dry. There may be
slight injury in some counties, but bene-
fit in many others Interior correspond
ents telegraph it has opened a great
number of matured hollis. September
and October bolls had already matured
and late October ones never had much
chance. We consider that our estimate
of 100000 bales was fully assured by
1st instant, and since then it has been
our minimum estimate"
The second dispatch, dated November
10th, reads as follows: I'VE cannot find
any authentic record of thermometer
below 30 degrees, with weather now
warmer. Early October hollis now open
ing in every State. but especially west
of Mississippi This will continue add
ing daily to the crop till really general
killing frost occurs"
These kilograms are supposed to be the
basis for the rum0r Of an estimate OF
9,250000 bale crop. The buying by
Liverpool to-day was thought TO be due
to the continued rains in India, and the
absence OF any pressure Of offerings from
the South January closed 7.52; last
year, S.37.

tremitieS by drawing gold out Of the
treasury and then selling 1t back to
the government in exchange for
bonds which they themselves have
compelled.
These dealers in money and those
who hold fixed investments which
grow more valuable as money rises In
its purchasing power, these are the
ones whom the gold standard benefits.
But chiefest among them all are the
money changers, and Chiefest among
those who are pushing forward this
crusade for gold are those people
who make a profit not in producing
wealth, but In handling the money
that other people need in exchanging
this wealth. And il I were compelled
to choose between Legislation which
helped the mine owner and legisla-
ton which helped the money chan

ing decision.

there You will find those men who 90

climb up on the cliffs, and every
ounce of silver which they produce at
the risk Of their own lives If poured
into the, channels Of trade would in

tween helping them and helping
those who, instead Of producing
money, corner it while the world is
in distress, I would lend my influence
to those who produce silver rather
than those who corner money.

A Trip to the Tie Camp.
BIG HORN, WYOMING,

Aug, IL, 1896.
We thought perhaps our friends
would be interested in short account
OF trip we took a few days ago TO the
B. & M. r. II. tie camp.
1t is situated about 10 miles by the
"toe" path or Is miles by the wagon
road from Dayton.
We left Big Horn early in the
morning and reached Dayton about
O'clock p. m. 1t being about 25
miles. We stayed over night with
friends and the next morning found
us ready for the mountains. We had
our buggy packed with bedding and
eatables. We also had two saddle
ponies which two Of us rode. After
travelling about miles, we began to
ascend. Then those who rode in the
buggy were obliged to allght as they
could travel but a short distance at
best without resting. We changed
of with each other in riding the
ponies. After going up, up, winding
this way and that we at last reached
the summit, an elevation Of nearly
11,000 feet. It was about 2 o'clock
p. m. What a scene met our gaze.
A sea Of mountain tops, some covered
with pine trees, others with huge
rocks, stretched away as far as eye
could see. We ate dinner by little
mountain stream then travelled on
until we came to a beautiful pine
grove on a small knoll. We decided
that it was just the place for camp.
We accordingly stopped, and built q
"booth" of pine trees, chinked in the
cracks with pine boughs, wove pine
boughs for carpet and beds and pre-
pared to thoroughly enjoy ourselves.
We built fire of dry pine slabs (beat
