George Gould Predicts Better Times

George J. Gould in speaking of the

says:
Il feel greatly encouraged. We have
.unquestionably seen the worst, and
from this Improvement, albeit slow at
first, will be conspicuous, and we may
safely look forward to long period of
general activity and national prosperi-
tv. Liquid alton has unquestionably
run its full course as far as the security
market is concerned. There may be
one or two weak spots, one or two

A Row is on.

The following article appeared in the
ST. Louis Republic a few days ago and
may be of interest to the local camp OF
the order referred to:
1.-THE Woodmen of theWorld has over
100, 900 members in the United States.
There is trouble between the members
and the sovereign Office, and secession
and partial disruption of the order
will ultimately result. Omaha, Ne
braska, is so far interested in the fight
that if the members win and the
sovereign officers lose, the general
headquarters will be removed from
that city. In the place of these head
quarters, Omaha will get others, to
which. however, the subordinate camps
of only six states-N ebraska, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota.
Iowa and Missouri-will, pay homage.
If this should happen it would mean
that the woodmen in these six states
would form a separate order, connected
by only the slightest bonds with the
Woodmen of the World. The agitation
was star ted by the local members, who
desire to sever their connection with
the southern states, where they claim
the dead rate is much higher. The
representatives in those states threaten
injunction proceedings if secession is
attempted.
The news from Cuba, says the Two
Republics, is not very reassuring for
Spain. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Cubans have been mostly
killed or have died from starvation
and the island is on the point of being
pacified, according to the most reli-
a BILE Spanish advices, there seems to
have been sufficient number of re
bells left to blow a Spanish gunboat
out of the water and compel another
one to put on steam to escape the same
fate. The persistent manner which
the rebels have of rising up and doing
damage just as Weyler has declared
the island free from the pestiferous
rascals must be extremely annoying to
a man of his sensitive disposition and
it spoils the effect of the banquets
which are being held quite frequently
for the purpose of toasting and con-
graduating the victorious chieftain.
1t may be that the arrest of helpless
and their imprisonment with
the fallen females OF Havana was Or
dered by Weyler while under the ir-
ritating influence of some such bad
news. Otherwise the noble and an
Gent vintage of old Spain would never
have disgraced itself by such orders.

New York, Dec 3-The Evening Posts London financial cablegr'am says: 5 The stock markets here were irregular and stagnant today. English rails were good during the day on better reports as to the strike. but lthe close was uncer- tain on a report that the engineering employers are to submit an ultima tum to the employees, which it is feared may be refused.
 Americans opened uather dull on New York prices, but rallied later and showed considerable backbone. The continued absorption of bonds by New York is al- most phenomenal. South Americans re- covered yesterdays fall. The market to- day had to pay for 2,500,00O pounds of India bills. thus causing a rise in short money rates and fresh borrowings from the Bank of England. It is believed the bank has temporarily acquired control of the India money just raised.

Grain Letter

Chicago, Dec 3.-wheat looked strong on the opening, but afterwards devel- oped weakness to some extent and the market dropped about 1o per bushel however gaining this loss partially near the close of the session. May wheat opened at 90H to 901s, sold down to S91s qS9A. then rallying, closed at S97s, only ssc lower than the highest point of the day. Heavy receipts of wheat at the northwest and at Chicago were responsi- ble for the drop, though some bad weather reports came in to balance and even up accounts, which sent the market back to where it came from early i'm the session. Wheat is steady and should sell higher, and purchasers will realize good profits.

 New York, Dec. 3.-The stock market opened fractionally higher this morning, but lost the gain early in the session and was stagnant for the remainder of the session, with the exception of Sugar, which opened at 1401s, after closing yes- terday afternoon at 1888. and looked weak towards the close. There was con- siderable trading in this stock today. and in fact the most of the stock trad ing of today was in Sugar. The remain der of the Hist was rather inactive, with light trading and slight fluctuations. Sugar Is decidedly the most attractive of the stocks and consequently more doing in this stock than any other.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 3.-Lverpool again disappointed the bears this morning by advancing one-half sixty-fourths. This dispatch was regarded as quite favorable and there was slightly more activity to the trading than for the past few days. This was largely due to covering by To- cal bears one of whom bought heavily. Selling orders were fairly plentiful but the local buying absorbed the offerings and the market had decidedly s.eady undertone all day. The movement for the week was heavy. but ais it fell slight ly below that of the same week in 1894, it had no depressing effect. Just before the close there was good buying for Liverpool and the market reached the best figures of the day. January opened at 5.69 gradually advanced to 5.73, and closed at that figure, with the tone of the market firm. The buying today has hardly added to the strength of the position. RIORDAN & co.

Efforts made to depress the market met with stubborn resistance and the cotton offered in this way was promptly absorbed by good parties. At the best prices of the session the mar ket showed an advance of and points on yesterdays final figures. The private cables from Liverpool did not reflect amy uneasiness in English manufactur- ing circles regarding strike difficulties. The English market closed at net gain of half to one sixty-fourth.
