SOVEREIGN SOUNDS ALARM.
Says There Is Bill Pending in Congress
to Destroy All Money Save Gold.

st. Louis, Sept. 29-Chairman James
w. Jump of the Commercial Travellers
association of this city received COM
creign, Chicago, grand master workman
of the Knights of Labor and manager of
the Bryan free silver campaign labor bu-
reau. 1t is in regard to bill now on the
house calendar of congress.
In part the letter says:
son December 6, 1895, Congressman
Walker of Massachusetts, chairman of
the committee on banking and currency,
introduced bill in the house of congress
which is now on the calendar of the
house. This bill provides for the destruc-
ton of all government money except gold
by authorizing the banks of the country
to resume currency redemption of all
money and issue notes in lieu thereof"
Mr.. Sovereign then proceeds in an eff
fort to show that there is a great con-
spiracy by the money power to destroy
all but gold money and concludes:
1.-The money power fear the people
twice since the war they have made Il de-
tcrmined stand to destroy all government
money and both times their schemes have
been frustrated by the demands of the
people. 1t will be noticed that the bank
ing and currency committee does not ap-
peal to the American people, does not ask
that the question be discussed on its
merits and submitted to the voters by
allowing them to decide it at the ballot
box, but they appeal to the most eXpe-
rienced bankers of the country in devils
ing some plan for the accomplishment of
this result and then they explain why
they appeal to the bankers and not the
upODlp by Swing that they do il i'm view

GOLD COMING BOTH WAYS.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The director of
the mint has received a telegram from
San Francisco stating that about ST.
100000 in gold was expected to arrive
there from Australia week from next
Friday. Information also comes from
London that the Bank of England eX-
poets to lose $J,000,000 to the United
States before the end of the week. Both
of these shipments are expected ulti-
mately to reach the treasury, which, to-
gether with the amounts already in sight
would bring the gold reserve approx
mately to S135000,000.

4 Co. say of cotton:
Foreign markets, though higher, did
not maintain their promise of yesterday
and the local influences found difficulty
in sustaining the market. The temper of
the trade was bullish based on improving
trade at home and late cables from Liv-
erpool. stating that spinners in Manches-
ter are becoming uneasy and liable at
any time to enter the market as heavy
buyers. The weakness of the market lies
in the absence of any short interest
Closed easier under the pressure of local
longs selling their purchases of the morn
ing and the probable issue of October
notices in the morning.

FAIRCHILD & HoBsoN's LETTER.

Especial to Austin Cotton Exchange)
New Orleans, Sept. 29.-Too many
traders it seems, had gotten on one side
of the cotton market, as is evidenced by
the course of prices today. Opening fig
ures showed an advance of to 4 points,
due to reports of heavy rains and of
frost in some sections of the cotton belt
but what demand there was appeared
to be supplied by sales of futures against
purchases of spot cotton. In fact, this
has been the only character of sellers for
some time past and as the short interest
is practically nil, there is no one to
brighten and sellers were obliged to make
concessions to meet the market. Liv-
erpool was more or less disappointing.
but without influence on account of frost
talk. The weekly bureau was less I'M
favorable than expected. The spot de-
mand was good at unchanged prices.
continues bullish and short sellers are
extremely limited The market closes S
points under last night.
The following are the weekly summa-
ries:
Lousiana-Drouth broken over north
western and central parishes by several
inches of rain. No material damage to
open cotton and the late top crop was
benefited, as were pastures, fall gardens
anu All NeStldllOI.
TeXas-Heavy rains over central por-
ton of the state have retarded cotton
picking, destroyed some cotton in the
fields and damaged the staple to some
extent. The rains have put the ground
in good condition for fall blowing and
have materially benefited fall crops.
Administration remains unchanged,
from 80 TO so per cent of crop having
been gathered. Vigorous second growth
reported in localities, but no yield is an
ticipated from this source.
Missssippi-Cotton and corn on low
lands will yield much better than expect
ed Cotton picking and corn gathering
drawing to a close. Light frosts in ex-
posed localities, but no damage reported.
Alabama-Much cooler weather, with
light frosts in northern counties on the
Ord and 24th Picking being pushed
and will be completed during next two
weeks, with about two-thirds of an av-
erage yield.
Georgia-Cotton all open and most of
crop picked. Quality, good. The yield
is about half the average. Scattered
showers in a few counties, but dry over
most of the state. Light frost on the
24th, but no damage.
Tennessee-Cotton all open and pick
ing over half done.
