Now York, Oct. 11.-Cotton opened
steady ut unchanged prices to de-
cline of one point and declined generally
three to five points, cables being DIS
Amounting, receipts heavier than antlcl-
mated and spot demand unsatisfactory.
As soen as the bureau report made Its
appearance, however, showing condl-
ton of 70 against 1873 last month, there
was a timid rally of two to three points,
after which the market showed consld-
erablo 1rregularity with generally
weak undertone as outsiders made little
or no response to what was called a
buIlish bureau showing. From the best
prices of the day to the lowest point the
market showed loss Of IL to IA points,
with the tone finally easy at net de-
cline Of 10 to IA points.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE dry goods
situation is still featureless. Dismal
Monday weather acted as damper on
store trading and local jobbing and re-
tail houses reported business to be very
light i'm all departments. Mail orders
were also small in calibre. There are
no open reduction in any grade. In
wooden and worsted goods the demand
is well sustained for this season and
prices are kept up. Spring dress goods
are being opened in many quarters and
the reports show that these goods are in
fairly good shape. Staple cottons are
quiet in nearly all grades. Print cloths
are quiet at 211a cents. Prints are gen
orally without change.

then recovered. The marked declines of
the morning in the Southwestern stocks
in the Changers were also largely re-
covered, many stocks, particularly the
Changers, rising above Saturdays level.
Statements of railroad earnings for the
first week in October received during the
day showed continued improvement.
Actual rates for sterling exchange fell
again to 4.S4H for demand and to 4.S2l4
for sixty days. This is said to be at the
gold import point in spite of the fact
that the Bank of England to-day advanc-
ed its price for American eagles to 76
shilling ~ pence, against rs shillings
G12 pence at the time last weeks en-
gagements for import were made. Rates
for time money continued easy and
there was good demand for commercial
paper, which attack on the market and
the subsistence of the apprehensions that
have recently beset some of the traders,
the buying was as much confined to the
bear element as the selling had been and
there was little indication of any re-
sumption of widespread and affecting
interest in the market.
Bonds were rather dull but generally
improved before the close. Total sales,
81 100000.

LONDON MARKET.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE Evening
Posts financial cablegram says:
The rise in German bank discount
rate from to per cent is regarded as
indicating the probability of a rise in
the Bank of England rate on Thursday,
and the markets consequently were dull
and heavy to-day. The market gener-
ally, however, does not know of the
banks action in raising the price of gold,
which might affect the question of the
rate on Thursday-not that / am indi-
cdIluS IndC cnduSe Will not De n1de.
Americans were the dullest market in
sympathy with the New York tone and
assisted by the maturing of large OPP
tons here.
The settlement in mines shows a large
account in West Australians. Large
capitalists are employing money in that
market, which is booming. Kaffirs were
rather goods, but closed under the best.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 1.-THE Pennsyl-
vania Railroad is said to be about to
join issues with the Seaboard Air Line.
Philip w. Averitt, leading counsel for
the individual stockholders Of the latter
system, also vice-president of the Penn
sylvania Midland Railway, a road close
ly allied with the big Northern system,
is authority for the statement that the
Pennsylvania will shortly take hand
in the Seaboard-SOuthern fight. and that
the former system will hereafter re-
ceive its support and cooperation.
The reason for the newly awakened
interest of the Pennsylvania is found in
the recent development in Maryland
where Morgan & Co, who own the
Southern, and also the PHILADELPHIA &
Reading Railway, have secured a char
ter for a road to be built from Wash
ington to Gettysburg, Pa, to connect
the Southern and Reading systems.
They will thus render themselves indie
pendent of the Pennsylvania, over
which all the SOuthern's through north
bound traffic now passes.

| eDlXle ~
1t always brings cheer, but in
the great parade in New York
Tuesday on the occasion of the
dedication of the Grant mauso-
leum, the stirring Southern air
was not cheered, but-the New
York Suns word for it-"one
mighty yell went up and kept up
until the band ceased to play
It is noticeable that in that great
pageant, in which thousands of
military figures had gathered to
pay homage to the great military
leader of the Union army, the
Confederates played as gallant and
as prominent part as any, and
though but little over a quarter of
a century has elapsed since the
surrender was made, the men of
the South, guests on this occasion,
were accorded every courtesy that
a united people could bestow upon
the members of one great family
No strife No division /! No
sectionalism
Generals Gordon and Longstreet
were there They were as prom>
Inently in the parade as the sur
yiving members of the old staff to
the heroe to whose memory a fit
ting tribute was paid, and when
General Gordon, the commander
in>chief of the Confederate veter-
ans, feelingly placed a wreath
upon the tomb of his old enemy in
war, a great shout burst forth that
evidenced stronger than words of
eulogy, that ''Old Glory" is to-
day the flag of a united states-a
united people.
It was left indeed for the
Southern,i military company to
make the most splendid show en-
the occasion. and the New York
papers take delight in awarding
the honor.
And old Virginia, the home
of Lee and the scene Of the
greatest conflicts, was the State
to send this company. [ was
we'll that the Richmond Blues,
with their white plumes erect on
their helmets and streaming up
into the air, their horses moving
in admirably controlled lines,
should receive such plaudit.
It was their band that first
played the air so dear TO every
Southern heart. and the favor
with which it was received by
the men of both armies, must be
gratifying to all lovers of peace.
