though the advices from the south have
become more favorable. they are by no
means glowing yet, and it seems to us
poor policy to add to the already enor-
nous short interest in the fall and winter
months by selling them. Speculation in
Gotten has become more general, but the
advance this week has been due not to the
position and merits of the staple. Such
an advance is more pit to be permanent
than rapid, and we rather expect to see
something of a setback next week A de-
cline in prices will not add to the supply
OF cotton in the world, and if it comes, we
think it will present an advantag eous OPP
portunlty to invest. The continued sue
cess Of the Turks in the war with Greece
has led to a feeling of security in consid-
ering the effect of war upon the markets
of the world"

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET,
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Nov 3O-The principal fac
tors in today's stock market were the
statements of the earnings in October of
two of the great railroad systems of the
country. namely. the Pennsylvania and
the Burlington. Both statements made a
remarkably strong showing, but that for
Burlington had been discounted by ru-
mors which have preceded the publica-
tons for some time past. grossly eXag-
Serating the proportions of the increase.
AS a consequence there was some disap-
pointment in speculative circles over the
burlington statement and some profit
taking. which impaired heavy tone to
the whole of the Changers group until
later in the day. In the final hour prices
of the group shared in the strength of
the general market.
Burlington rose 2Ss and all of the trunk
lines showed Il marked degree OF
strength. New York Central. Lake Shore
and Canada Southern rising from / to .
points. Speculation in Sugar was very
active all day and the stock rose strong
ly. closing 2i2 points higher than last
night.
The approach of the regular dividend
period and expectation of counter-vailing
duties on imported Dutch sugars We're
the causes of the rise. Northwest and
Omaha show net gains equally point.
Consolidated Gas is liz higher on the day.
New Jersey Central gained IA. Otherwise
net gains in the active stocks are con-
fined to fractions and there is a fair
sprinkling of small losses through the
list.

| through the dereliction of the English
Government. We're in a suffering con-
ditlon. Let England take care of her
own. Emmons drew a picture of the
sad situation of. American laborers un-
der existing political conditions, and
declared that we should take care Of
our own poor and starving before those
| in foreign lands.
Shanahan announced that he was M
favor of letting the Queen of Grea.
Britain and the Empress of India take
care of her own people
North of Alameda remarked trench
antly that the Populist gentleman did
not know what they were talking
about. This proposition was not for
an appropriation to send money to the
people of India. 1t was simply to place
vessel a the service of those who
wished to send donations offered and
clothing to those suffering people.
Dryden said he spoke not for charity.
but for justice. Our system of distri-
button was TO blame for the suffering in
this country, and therefore he would
not vote to send help to a foreign coun-
try. Let us do something for our own
people first.
LeaVltt said he was aStonished at
gentlemen who had voted yesterday to
take the bread from the mouths of sew
eral hundred people at their very doors
talking in so large way about charity
at home. He could see no evidence of
their charity
Dennery was sorry to see it made a
political proposition. San Francisco
could take care of her own poor and
had done so, but she could also stretch
out her hand to give help to others.
He hoped the resolution would prevail.
Godfrey believed charity should begin
at home. He was against the resolu-
ton.
Burnett was sorry, too. that it had
been given political aspect. There
was too much of it on both sides of the
House. If it was a proposition of a
choice between feeding our own and
feeding foreign poor he should not hesi-
tate Tor one moment in saying feed our
own. But this was a resolution simply
of approval of the action Of Congress to
charter vessel to sail for India bear
ing the food and clothing sent by the
klnd-hearted people of this country. He
