New York, Oct. 1.-Riordan & Co. say Of
cotton: THE cotton market was duh to-
day and prices show but trfiing change
from yesterday. A decline of one sixty
fourth in Liverpool this morning created
no interest, and our market opened about
the same as the close last night. The trad
ing was of a narrow character and largely
local. The scalpers tried to get prices
down IN the morning. but were unsuccoss-
full. Export houses again absorbed the
bulk of the offerings. Tho days receipts
were not heavy, but as the trade attrib-
uted this to quarantine restrictions il had
no effect January opened at 6S7c de-
clined to 6.S3c, ran up to 6.39c and closed
at 6.S5 to $3.50, with the tone of the mar
ket steady. There seems to be a DISPOSE
ton among operators to await further de-
velopments before becoming aggressive on
either side of the market"

New York Oct 1.-The dry goods market
opens the month under conditions which,
if not entirely satisfactory, are still not
without promise The past month has
shown poor results especially during the
last twenty days. But sellers believe that
with the steady distribution reported at
second hands and in retail stores the de-
mand on recorder win be heavy AID prices
will be sustained. The discourayng fac
tor in the situation for cotton goods IS the
decline in the price of the staple The eff
feet on buyers Is to strengthen their posi-.
ton lust at present. Woollen goods in all
divisions are strong. with prospects of
better prices when the re-ordec business
is well under way. In staple coltons there
is no change of importance. Print cloths
are quiet. Sales at Providence at 9-i4c
are reported. odd goods are sold quietly IN
small lots at generally weak prices.

Spirits Turpentine-The most encourag-
ing aud exciting feature IN the leading
markets during the past week was the
steady boom in the value of spirits turpen-
tine. The rise was attributed to the
strong and urgent demand from export
ers and the disposition on the part of the
Antwerp company 10 advance the price
and compel other buyers to pay the high
est price. The BIDS were raised every day
and the advance Oh the week was fdlly

have been advanced from time to time by the advocates of the bill. He gives greater space to objections to the educa- tional clause than to any other. Of it he says:
 Tn my opinion it is infinitely more safe to admit hundred thousand immigrants who though unable to read and write seek among us only home and oppor- tunity to work than to admit one of those unruly agitators and enemies of govern mental control who cannot only read and write, but delights in arousng by in- flammatory speech the illiterate and peacefully inclined to discomfort and tu- mutt. Violence and disorder do not orig mate with illiterate laborers. They are rather the victims of educated agitators. The ability to read and write as required in this bill, in and of itself, affords in my opinion a misleading test of contented industry and supplies unsatisfactory evil dence of desirable citizenship or a proper appreciation of the benefits of our institu- tions. If any particular element of our illiterate immigration is to be feared for other causes than illiteracy, these causes should be dealt with daily instead of making illiteracy the pretext for ex- clusion to the detriment of other Hitter ate immigrants against whom the real cause of complaint cannot be alleged"
 The president does not find merit in any feature of the bill and characterizes it as whole as a radical departure from our national policy relating to immigra- tion.

TELEGRAMs FROM cANEA.

Tell of Massacres of Musselmans by
 Christians-Powers Hold the Positions.
 London, March 2-In the house of com mons today MT. G. N. Curzon. under for eign secretary, read telegrams received from the British consul at Canea saying that the Musselmans in the island of Crete had declared that they would not consent to union of Crete with Greece and placed high hopes in the action of the great powers to prevent it. The ad- miral commanding the British war ships in Cretan waters, MT. Curzon said wired that the flags which are hoisted at Se- line, Kandame and ElkrtonS show that those towns are under the protection of the powers. The most of these places, however, are in great danger of being massacred. The dispatch added that report was in circulation that Christians were exterminating Moslems wherever they went
 Sir William Harcourt raised a debate upon the statement made by Lord Sails bury, in view of the lords declaring the policy which the government intended to pursue in regard to Crete involving the autonomy and the withdrawal of Turk ish and Greek naval and military forces and threatening to impose force In the event of the refusal of Greece or Turkey to withdraw their forces when required to do so He began by asking whether the powers had asSented to the proposals and pursuing the subject, inquired how far it was believed that the autonomy of the island would rid the island of turk ish rule which is the cause of the pres ent evil.
 MT. Curzon said that the powers would not allow Crete to be taken out of their hands as the arrival of Greek forces upon the island had excited the Christians and infuriated the Moslems.

NOW LOOKS AS F GREECE Will Gain Possession of the Cov-
 9ted Prize. MUSSU BEEN IN REVOLT Because O activity on the Part ofthe Sultans Off z to Protect Their Women
 John Bulls Have Their Say

London, March 2.-In the house of lords today the Earl of Kimberly raised de- bate upon the subject of Lord Salisbury's statement of Feb. 25, by asking questions similar to those asked by Sir William Harcourt in the house of commons, ad- ding that in his opinion 1t would have been wiser to have joined Crete with Greece than having the island an autono- mist administration. Lord Salisbury re- piled that the proposals setting forth the policy it was intended to pursue in Crete had been accepted by the powers, though that part relating to the with drawal of the Turkish troops had met with some opposition They must con- slider, he said, the interests of the Cretans and take in account the question whether they desired to become a part of the Hellenic kingdom. Moreover they must sympathize with these wider views which favored the preservation of the para mount blessings of European peace, views that had influenced the nations in deciding upon the granting of autonomy to the island which would be effectual and meant withdrawal of the arbitrary power of the sultan.
 After remarks on the subject by other peers the house adjourned.

 Where yesternight all was glory and mirth solemn and holy Lent now pre- vails.
 Birmingham has had her second carni- val and great 1t was. The Birmingham Carnival society have outdone them selves and all today are singing their praise.
 The second annual Mardi Gras celebra- tion of the Birmingham Carnival society has exceeded the fondest expectations of their greatest and most ardent admirers. In every single particular it was a suc- cess and each individual member has just cause to congratulate himself
 Never before in the history of the city has there been two such great gatherings as were those of Monday and yesterday. The city was literally filled to overflow ing and we'll were the visitors paid for coming
 Mobile and New Orleans have had their carnivals but neither, all things con- sidered, have excelled those of the Magic City.
 Much had been promised the people by the State Herald and other papers of this city, as regarded the parades of the Car nival society, yet many there were who said candidly last night that ''the half had not been told.'
 Neither time nor money had been spared to make the second annual cele- bration of Mardi Gras by the Birming- ham Carnival society, and their efforts will undoubtedly meet the appreciation of every one.

London, March "A riot occurred at Canea today in which Sulleiman Bey, colonel of the Musselman gendarmes, was fatally wounded by his own men. Sev- eral other Turkish officers were wounded. The outbreak was caused by the gend- armes not receiving their pays Notice of the revolt was sent to the various consulates and the foreign marines were despatched to the scene.
