New York COTTON Marker.

New York, October 21,--The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of points
and further advanced 2as points in the
FIRST hour. early cables being better than
expected in view Of our decline of yestsr-
day. the advance being reduced 1el2 points
by noon under liquidation and later cables
not meeting expectations. Buying by a
leading Greek house and by leading Phil
adsiphia house caused some anxiety on the
part OF the shorts in connection with re-
ports OF frosts in Texas. Mississippi and
tennessee. Covering became a feature in
inc afternoon and the market turned de-
cidedly frmer. Private cables stated II,
the English cotton trade was becoming
alarmed In view OF the frost advices from
the South. The market closed steady at
a net advance Of sg+ points. Total sales.

duction will hardly be less than 10000

The proposed road is to be s22 miles in

Thus. even the easy tramp across
Scolai Pass may soon be unnecessary.
Gold seekers may take Copper River
steamer to the head OF navigation on
that stream. cross the divide In a train
and go up the White River TO it's con-
fuence with the Yukon, with easy sail
ing all along the way to Dawson City
1t will be no harder than the journey
from New York to Plattsburg by way
OF the Hudson River. the railroad from
Troy to Fort Ticonderoga and a steam
er up Lake Champlain. which is one OF
the most beautiful trips in America
But IT is safe to predict that fortune
hunters entering the Copper River re-
gion will not go as far north as Daw-
son. There is too much gold in the un-
prospected country between the Cop

while to brave the rigors Of the Arctic
Circle. And the gold, silver and cop

American soil, free to all citizens Of

Dawson City may be all right FOR men
who have leather lungs and cast-lron
stomachs. and who have been on the
ground for the past two years, but
those who wish to seek gold without

day, without having TO buy claims al
