A BANTAM IN THE ARMY.
story of the Only Rooster That Has
Tombstone Over His Grave.

From the New York Sun.
Atlanta, Ga.-Maj Tom Williams owned
the only rooster that has been honored In
Georgia by having tombstone over his
grave.
"While we were camped near Culpepper
Court House, in the fall Of 1862" he says
in telling the story 81 became acquainted
with a family named Dowdy. Just before
the battle of Culpepper / paid a visit to
the farm and found the ladies in panic
preparing to flee. They set before me such
scant fare as they had left. and after 1
had eaten a hasty luncheon, Miss Mary
Dowdy called TO me and led the way to
the back yard.
There is the last of our stock of poul-
try said she, pointing to a little bantam
cock that was strutting about the yard
L haven't the heart to kill him because
he Is a pet If you want him you can
take him and do as you like with him.
"During the campaign of 1868 he often
sat on my shoulder through the long,
weary marches and hurried retreats, and
/ shared my rations with him. One night
we had reached the flank of the enemy $
camp by a forced march and lay down to
sleep on our arms, expecting to be reused
at the break of day for a sudden charge.

change in the order of march had sepa-
rated us from the wagons, so | placed
the rooster on the limb OF a sapling above
my head while / lay down TO snatch
few minutes sleep preparatory to the sur
prise planned at daybreak.

protest although he must have been very
hungry from long fasting, but quietly
squatted on the. branch, while flung my
self on the grass and leaves and was soon

General had dropped down from his
perch and uttered shrill crow right in
my ear which had awakened me, and as
! opened my eyes ! saw the fash of guns
as our pickets fired. and in an instant
fell back upon us where we lay. The
yankees had turned the tables on US and
discovering our presence, the surprising
force became the surprised and in ten
minutes there was the most unearthly
racket going on In that pine thicket that
you can imagine.
Right and left of my position the boys
came out of cover and advanced with
Yells and cheers, moving cautiously and
firing as they moved. 1t had become sur
ficiently light for me to find my few be-
longings, and l soon recovered my hat

DRY GOODS.

New York, Sept 25.-The dry goods mar
yet has shown altogether quiet results
this week, with no prospect of any imme-
date advance in the amount of trading.
Prices are generally firm in all grades. Ex-
cept in print cloths, there is no weakening
of market perceptible and in some lines
of both cotton and woolens agents are
looking forward to advances when heavy
supplementary trading begins. In staple
cottons, the demand is limited both for
brown and bleached goods Ducks and
osnaburgs are firm and quiet. Wide sheet
ings are steady. Export goods are in very
quiet request a very low prices. Coarse
colored cottons are without change or feat
IRE. Printed goods are less dull than
other grades of cottons. Staples are very
firm and in fairy steady demand Cling
hams and other woven colored goods are
firm and steady. Mapped fabrics are in
good demand. Wooden and worsted goods
are in steady request at fairly well sus-
tanned prices

for the cotton market this week. and
loss of 20 points in values has been re-
corded. Liverpool to-day was unfaVora-
Die. That market declined two and one
half-siXty-fourths. Our market opened 6
to points down, in sympathy with the
Liverpool dispatch. The Chronicle crop
report spoke of further deterioration in
Arkansas and Tennessee, but it had no
effect The trading was without any
marked feature. During the day January
opened at 6.43c, fiuctuated between 641c
and 6.44c, and closed at 6.41c to Gaze, with
the tone of the market easy. After the
close the feeling was bearsh.
Receipts will be heavy next week. The
immediate outlook for the market is GER
tainly not encouraging to the friends of
cotton. 1t seems reasonably certain that
spectators are not coming in to stop the
decline, and that prices must seek a level
at which the demand for consumption
Will be great enough and sufficiently sus-
tanned. 10 absorb the daily receipts and
prevent their being thrown upon the fu-
ture markets. The most discoura ging fea-
ture in the whole situation is the trade
outlook abroad, which is bad and the
pessimistic attitude of operators there,
which is even more marked than that of
those on this side of the water.
AS long as the worlds spinners persist
in believing in monster crop and lower
prices, and in buying only their immediate
necessities, there can hardly be any per-
manent rise in values. 1t must not be
forgotten, however, that the tenor of crop
reports for the last three weeks have been
ignored Whatever the market may do in
the near future, we believe that recent
weather conditions in the south has ma
terially reduced the chances for an enor-
nous crop The contingency of an early
frost is also before us. If the bulls would
fight the market from this level, with
the same vim and enthusiasm that they
displayed when cotton was above cents,
we believe that in the long run they would
not find their efforts entirely unwarrant-
ed

day. The reaction developed late on Mon

money rate, and after stocks had touched
