geological point of view was recently
made by an explorer in the mountains
of Whites Hook. Natal On the sum

interesting to know whether these dia-

carried on by the natives-or whether
this discovery corresponds to an actual
mine of diamonds, for the hills OF

On the last hypothesis, the presence OF
precious stones in the crater of vol

on the formation of the gems in ma

The trade here was large. but there was no excitement manifest and fluctuations were not wild. The demand seemed general. while offerings for the most part were small. Receipts feai below the estimate, with only eleven cars grading. The greater portion of 'dhe receipts at is being absorbed by two large elevator concerns. As the grain is transferred to private elevators it Of course does not show up in the visible. The shipping demand, however, is rath- CT poor.

New York. Sept. 9.-Continued poor crop accounts and a liberal movement were the opposing factors in the cot ton market today. Great dullness again prevailed, but the local bulls took heart at the more encouraging attitude of Liverpool. A revision of the difference between grades. which was favorable to the holders of contracts, and succeeded in forcing prices up few points. Liv- pool was one-half to one-sixty-fourth higher this morning, and was meder- ate buyer here. Our market opened 2 points up, January selling on the first call at 6.82. After the opening January advanced to 6.S6 and closed at 6.S4. with the tone of the market quiet. A few delivery notices were issued for Sep tember, but had no depressing effect. A very poor state report by the South Carolina commissioners and complaints from Texas were sustaining influences. Unless the movement of supplies in the near future is overwhelming, we expect higher prices.

Birmingham, Sept. 9.-The stock mar ket reacted on the early dealings today under heavy pressure of realizing sales. In some instances the recessions extended to 1 per cent. and over. The stock was we'll absorbed and in the af- ternoon the tonic effect of the declara- ton of an extra dividend of i per cent. on St. Paul stock was felt through the list. St. Paul naturally was deagt in to an enormous extent, and it's gain for the day was per cent. Rhode Island was especially strong in expectation of an increase in dividend rate in the winter. Illinois Central continued strong on it's excellent earnings for July and August. Atchison preferred after an early re- action, developed increased strength on it's promise of great winter earnings Missouri Pacific advanced in anticipation of a handsome showing of earnings for the first week of September. Southern railnoali preferred gained a point in an- ticipation of a larger dividend distribu- fiar at 'hs end of the year Subsistence yellow fever helped all stocks of r ad ; rose over 1 per cent on improving ten- dency of southern iron trade and the assurance of a further advance in the price of the commodity.

New York Cotton Market.


 New York, Sept. 9.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of 1Q2 points on better cables than were ex- pected and some buying by New Or leans and Liverpool. Fears that tomor- rows government report will show a very bullish condition led the more timid short to cover and caused hesi- tation against selling, even amongst the more cnfident brokers. Themost strik- ing feature was the complaints of dam age to the crops in the eastern and cen tral portions of the cotton belt. Rumors that 1000 notices were out and only par tially taken care Of checked buying just before the close. The market closed quiet at an advance of 2@6 points.

New York, Sept. 9.-The Evening Posts London financial cabiegram says:
 The stock markets were strengthened today by the retention of the bank rate, but the American is still the only de- partment where any movement of inn portance is taking place. A quiet open ang in these stocks was followed by great strength and animation, the bears closing in anticipation of the settlement and the public being small buyers of low-priced descriptions.
 Fifty thousand sovereigns in gold were withdrawn from the bank today for Indian and $25,000 for Nova Scotia.
 The Berlin market was more or less weak.

Cotton Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept 9.-While the speculative demand for cotton con ntinues steady, the market has a better tome than for some days past. Sentiment is
 undoubtedly undergoing a gradual change from day to day. as result of the numerous unfavorable crop advices
 now being received, especially from the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt, and there is a growing i'm pression that an active speculation may develop in cotton ait almost any time
 A large portion of the trade is avers4 to accepting the reported deterioration in crop conditions during the past few weeks. which, however, is not surpris- ing in view of the intensely bearish feeling which has from time to time prevailed. It will be remembered in this connection that last season it re- quired some considerable time for the trade to admit that damage has result ed from the drouth then prevailing but when they were forced to an admis- sion of serious damage a vsry active market developed. The situation at the present time is a strong one, owing to the small supplies held everywhere. and the existence of very large short in- terest and if current crop estimates are modified to any great extent the result will be very active and higher market
 Recent advicss from Liverpool show a reactionary tendency there and an in- creased demand from consumers, which is very encouraging. Liverpool has again bought moderately here during the morning, and thsre has been slight increase in buying for southern account as compared with the past few days
 Offerings are light and the development of any fresh buying power would be promptly reflected in ths course of prices. J. P. MUDD & co.
