Money.
RICHMOND, VA, Aug. IL, 1897.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. IL, 1897.
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to a return of
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts? We have a
conservative administration. The
country will be governed in fair
ness to the interests of business
men. The tariff question is set
tied. The political situation is
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question
for three years. Liquidation is
finished. Leading papers in Eu-
rope recognize the deficiency of
their crops. The United States is
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies Ex-
change has dropped sharply. Sc
curities have advanced handsome
ly. Reactions are natural, healthy
and to be expected. The market
declined this week from one to
three points, but promptly recov-
cred, and is now advancing.
In the great period Of business
revival from 1870 to 1881, when
money was 2earer. securities sold
much higher. Strong people may
combine to sell the market down
to accumulate cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,
and in our opinion all good securi-
ties are a purchase. There rarely
comes an occasion 50 favorable for
the making of money.

Cotton Lettnr.

New Yonk, Nov. 19.-The cotton mar ket opened point lower than the closing figure of yesterday. but on the firmness of the Liverpool market our options moleed up from to 5 points. sending the January option up to SIT after open- ing at 5.72. There was little trading in cotton and the market held around 5.75 for January most of the day. The receipts at the ports were comparatively lighter than were expected, being esti- mated for today at 62,OO0 against 5S,757 last year this day. Cotton has a better feeling now and we think good rise will be effected soon. The receipts w-re not as heavy as were expected and con- sequently the bears are somewhat dis appointed, and have covered their shout interest rather extensively. If we can keep this nate of receipts going we will undoubtedly have better market.

Dry Goods.

New York, Nov. 19.-,Dry goods are fol- lowing the line of the weeks trading and show no increase in interest in any grade. Dealers are of the opinion that there can be no radical change in the situation until there has been decided Improvement in the weather, in the way of more reasonable conditions. At pres ent mail orders are light and store trad- ing is limited and conservative. In wool ems and Worsted goods the demand is re- str.caed to light recorders. Jobbers are conducting a campaign of concessions on various different lines of goods, and in this way aee obtaining control of a vast nunlber of orders at exceedingly irregu- lar prices; they neither mar nor help the situation to any appreciable extent Col lections are very fair. In staple cot tons the demand for both brown and hleaclled goods is quite limited and is without feature in any grade In print cloths the trading for the week has been small Bids Of 2Hc for extras are stead fly refused by manufacturers. and there is practically no demand for these goods at the nominal quotation of 5-16c. odd goods are exceedingly quiet in all grades, Prints are without feature.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-The Chicago mar kets all opened slightly higher and sus- tained their rally pretty much all day. May wheat opened at 909sc and sold as high as 913sc, but dropped off near the close and closed at 9O%@90Tsc. There was no news and the trading was all most exclusively by the professionals who allowed but little scalping on the slight fractional changes Corn and oats did nothing and closed about where they opened,
 Provisions were dull but steady and with f=w changes and a light trade, though the receipts of hogs and the northwest receipts for grain were all light. H. H. SMITH & co.

Sps cial to The Age e-Herald.
 New York. Nov. 19.-An advance of 1 to 11a 64ths in the Liverpool market this morning was disappointing to the trade here, and our opening was consequently four to five points below last rights closing figures. After the opening large buying by a prominent local operator and for Liverpool account absorbed the offerings and the market gained five to six points. Selling orders, however were plentiful at the advance. The interior movements and the amount in sight for the week were enormous, and bears seemed to find new courage and prices rapidly gave way. Jan. opened at 572, advanced to 5.7S, declined to 5.70, and closed at 5.70 to 5.71. with the tone of the market easy. No other bulls nor bears seem likely to score any impor- tant victory in the immediate future.

The early weakness was due to disap- pointing opening cables. but later cables gave some encouragement and port re- caipts ran below estimates. Shcrts att present low prices naturally show hesi- tation to stand on their deals and there is a disposition Ito change front on any thing like bull encouragement. Specula- tlon, however, fails to b.oaden as ex- pected In the afternoon trading was more active. Weakness developed under lecal selling with the market finally easy at a net loss of to points.

Misrepresented Characters.

From the st. Louis Republic.
There has been a good deal of mis-
apprehension of the characteristics of
ex- Governor Waite of Colorado, the
man of "bloody brides" fame. There
has been a suspicion that he rode into
town astride of two horses and drank
whisky straight as a steady beverage.
Imaginative minds have way of pic
turing public characters in a way that
is not ut all true to life. When Gen.
eral Grant was touring through the
south an old darkey edged through the
crowd at a small depot to see the hero
of the war.
"Wha' is he?'' he asked, after a
minute or two.
"Tbere he is,n said bystander.
"Not da shot man, wifi dem whis-
kersP''
eyes"
"Well, fo' de Lawd! | fought GnI
Grant mus be twenty feet high, wifi
fangs IN HIM mOut'."
1t was interesting to note in MISS
Patterson's article in the Sunday Re
public, that Ex-Governor Waite is u
quiet, stopped old gentleman, who
talks and acts much the same as other
men IN public life. he made few
rash remarks on one occasion, and at
once the imaginative ones pictured a
wild-eyed creature with birthstone
breath and the voice of monster.
