COTTON is STILL TAGGING.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

The low price of cotton seems to be
still too high for the manufacturers.
There is such an unsatisfactory condi-
ton of things at Fall River and else
where in the North and East, that the
mills have practically withdrawn from
the cotton market. The boom that
was expected has not arrived: the high
er tariff duties have not proved in the
least effectual.
PROFESSIONALLY the low price Of raw
cotton is caused by the lack of demand
for cotton goods, and the lack Of demand
Is due to lack of money. The gold
men say there is plenty of money in cir.
culation. There is probably more than
q plenty in circulation in the financial
centers. but that fact doesn't help mat
tiers in the wide expanse of territory
covered by the South and West. There
is more in circulation in the West than
there has been, owing to the higher price
OF wheat, but the increase is not drop
In the bucket compared with the needs
Of the people.
The territory referred to Is the market
for cotton goods, and owing to the lack
Of money there, the mills find their I'M
sold stocks piling up.
When will matter take a turn? When
the manufacturers join with the farm
ers in aboishing the single gold stand
ard. Unless that is done shortly, the
majority Of the Eastern mills will have
20 go out Of business.

Chicago, Ills, Nov. 2.-If attention
had not been forcibly called to the alarm
ingly poor prospects for crop of winter
wheat next season, the market for that
article would probably have closed a
good deal lower than it did today. As it
was. the December option showed u
cent decline at the finish. Favorable
Argentine crop news, large northwest
receipts and additional rains east of the
Mississippi were among the weakening
factors. Corn was weak early, but
closed unchanged. Oats were shade
lower at the close. Provisions closed
8 cents lower for pork and ribs, and

ARISToCRATIC CHURCH WEDDING HAD

Thursday night Miss Nellie De-
Graw, who moved in the very highest
society in North Scranton, and who
is the soprano sclolst in the North
Main Baptist Church, was to become
the bride of Harry Freas, a young
man Of social prominence. The cere-

brides pastor, Rev. w. G.. Watkins,
officiating, and 200 invitations had
been issued.
Young Freas, however, was some
where near Chicago, for which place
he suddenly departed last evening,
and the only solace his bride-to-be
had was letter, which was mailed
last night at Binghamton, and which
she received to-day. This told her
that it was impossible for her betrofhed
to fulfill his promise to marry her, and
that he deemed it best to go far away.

This Is not n Rialto rumor but re-

it says, is soon to be married and,
worse than that, intends to retire from
the stage. The name. of her fiance is
not given, but he is said to be n man
of Barney Barnato wealth. The mat
rimonial part of the story is easier to
believe than the retirement. Miss
Tempest is at present at the very zen

future continues as bright she is not
likely to abandon it, To be sure, she
evinces disposition occasionally to
assert her independence and to abstain
from appearing whenever it so suits

Miss Russell is asking for a divorce
