New York. October 2o.-The situation In
the dry goods market is practically un-
changed. Unfavorable weather conditions
which have heretofore been a drag on the
market, are giving promise Of change,
and the buying from the Southern States.
where the yellow fever has had a stultify-
ing effect, begins to be heavy again. The
distribution In various sections OF the
country is still reported rather slim.
Woclen goods are still strong feature of
the market, sales for next year being more
of a factor day by day. Cotton goods are
generally less active. I'm staple cotton

FIELD TO RETIRE.
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court Resigns.
Attorney-General McKenna VIII
Probably Be His Successor The
Venerable Jurist Pens q Fare
we'll to His Associates.

Washington, Oct. 15.-1t was an
nounced at the supreme court Thurs
day that Justice Stephen J. Field, of
California, had notified President Nc
kinley of his intention to retire as
member of the court and had in
formed his colleagues of this fact. The
members of the court after adjourn
ment at four o'clock called in body
en- the retiring justice to pay him their
respects. It is expected that his sue
ccssor will be nominated by the presi-
dent Immediately after the converting
of congress in December and that At
torney-General McKenna, also of Cali
fornia, will be named for the office.
Justice Fields Letter.
The following letter was sent by AS
sociate Justice Field to the supreme
court Of the United States announcing
his designations:
Supreme Court Of the United States,
Washington, D. c., Oct. u, 1S97.-Dear Mr..
Chief Justice and Brethren: Near the
close Of last term, feeling that the duties
of my office had become too arduous for
my strength. transmitted my resignation
to the president, to take effect on the 1st
day of December next and this he has &C.
cepted. with kindly expressions Of regard
my judicial career covers many years
Of service.
Having been elected a member of the
supreme court Of California. l assumed

years Of labor and Of toll, but they have
brought their own rewards, and we can
all join in thanksgiving to thesauthor of
our being that we have been permitted to
spend SO much of|our lives IN the service
OF our country. NJ
with profound respect and regard. am,
my dear brethren, very sincerely and al
ways yours, STEPHEN ]. FIELD"
The Courts Reply.
The justices of the supreme court replied
to the above letter In a most feeling man
ner. They express the keen sense Of loss
which they, as well as all Americans must
feel at the termination of judicial career
Of such length and distinction. and say
that, to them. it assumes the aspect Of
personal bereavement. They express also
the hope that Justice Field may be spared
for many years to enjoy the repose he has
so thoroughly earned and the commenda-
ton bestowed on good and faithful serv-
ice. The reply is signed by Chief Justice
Fuller and Associate Justices Harlan.
Gray. Brewer. Brown. Shiras and White.
Longest Term ON the Bench.
, Justice Field has been eligible for retire.
ment ever since November 4. 1886. when he
reached the age limit Of 70 years It was
on August 16 last that Justice Field broke
the record for length of service on the SUI
preme bench. as it was on that day he ex-
ceeded the term of service OF "a years S
months and days to the credit of Chief
Justice Marshall, whose service had up to
tnat time Oeen the longest III lle history
Of the court. The total length of Justice
Fields service up to the time when his
retirement will take effect. December /,
will be "a years, months and 20 days.
Under the law Justice Field will receive the
full salary of an associate justice of the
United States supreme court-s10.000 per
year-for the remainder of his life.
Justice Field is remarkable man and
one Of a remarkable family. His father
was David Dudley Field, a Congregational
minister Of New England. and his mother
was Sumit Dickinson Field. His grandpa
Their on his fathers side was Timothy
Field, a captain in the revolution, and his
grandfather ON his mothers side was Noah
Dickinson, who served with Israel Putnam
in the French and Indian war and also
served through the revolution. The JUS
ttce is not the only member Of his family
in this generation to receive distinction.
His brothers were Cyrus w. Field, who
carried through to success the first trans
atlantic telegraph cable: David Dudley
Field. who attained great eminence as a
lawyer: Matthew W. Field. an eminent
engineer: Henry M. Field. who was q
distinguished clergyman; Jonathan Field,
who was president of the Massachusetts
state senate, and Timothy Field, who was
an officer in the United States navy.

New York, Oct. 14.-The Sun, which

formal announcement of it's republican,

IAN overruling providence has decreed
that the republican party, in the ~closing

of existing institutions against the as
saults of the radicals and the annihilators.

ALBERT and CHARLES HUBER, living
a few, miles south Of Durand, Wis. :,
have herd of about rs full-blood bison
and some Is crossed bulls and heifers,
bison and native COW. About six
years ago they were hunting in the
western part of North Dakota and
succeeded in capturing alive three
young bison, a bull and two cows, and
these they brought to their farm in
Wisconsin. Experiments were early
made with crossed breeds and it has
now been found that the cross is very
successful, the half-breeds combining
docility with the endurance and large
size Of the bison.
