Brehm's Thier Leben, the great
German scientific authority, says: ''Al.
bino or white elephants very rare:
light colored specimens are rarely
seen. In Siam, where Albinos of all
kinds of animals are much esteemed,
as they are believed to be the rulers of
their kind; where the white elephant
is held sacred as the most powerful of
all animals, and where one title of the
king is Lord of the White Elephant
it appears that the people have
been able to obtain but few light color
ed specimens, Notwithstanding all pos.
sible efforts have been made" AS a
matter of fact there were only five in
all Siam, and one of these the famous
Ringing Brothers have secured. after
months of negotiation and the expen-
diture of fortune. The Scientific
American, an undoubted authority,
declares that this beautiful white eie.
plant, known as Keddah, is the only
genuine specimen ever brought to
America.

Birmingham, Oct 22--Traders in wheat

despite the weakness on this side yes

tied an advance of 3sc@1Ac. This conn
bined with the continued diminution in

Immediately advancing to 921sc. More
interest was centered in the May option
dhan in the December and after the
opening furry had abated the near flu
ture was offena3 for sale, while an ex-
tensive demand was developed in
the May delivery. The result WIS
that the December premium was
dropped to about 1 cent. De-
cember eased off to $4,000, while
May, which opened 9sc higher at
9Oss, advanced to 9o% @s0B. lAdviees as
to Hungarian and Russian crops were
again unfavorable, and the worlds ship
rnents for the welslk are expected to be
about five million bushels. After noon
traders came into the pit with loai1s OF
buying orders, and a rapid advance to
931a enssued By O'Clock a &c reduction
took place on realizing sales. However,
in the last fifteen minutes another jump
was experienced, the price of December
reaching up to 94B bid, at which the

Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 22.-The movement of
cotton for the week was enormous, and
this, together with predictions of very
heavy movement next week, sent prices
downward today. Liverpool advanced
2-64d this morning. This was regarded
as an encouraging dispatch, and our
market opened two to four points high
er, January selling on the first call at
els. After the opening the sellers were
largely in the majority and prices be-
gan to give way. New Orleans sent lib
eral selling orders here, as we'll as tele-
grams of a bearish nature. In the af-
ternoon a prominent concern identified
with the bull side was liquidating heav-
lily. On declines, however, the demand
was brisk, and considering the amount
of liquidation the break was not a great
one. January declined to 6.04 and closed
at that figure, with the tone of the mar
ket steady. In view of the heavy re-
ceipts and the prevailing bearish senti-
ment, some further temporary decline is
not unlikely.

New York, Oct. 22.-There was appar-
emily a lack of stock at the opening and
the market turned dull and easier. How
ever, the decline did not exceed frac-
tions The principal topic of discussion
was the reported nature of the reply by
the Spanish government to Minister
Woodford, which was regarded as dis
quieting. The attacks in soma of the
newspapers upon the Union Pacific reor-
ganizaltion program were also utilized
with some effect by the bear traders.
AS the decline continued stop loss orders
were uncovered and forced liquidation
was added to bear selling. 1t was re-
ported that Russell Sage was at the
head of syndicate which had subscrip-
tons aggregating $75,0O0'0e0 to bid
upon the Union Pacific railroad. The
market became decidedly feverish and
irregular, the bulk of trading being in
the specialties and grangers. Some
stocks, including Sugar, Manhattan and
Omaha, rallied, but again declined to
the lowest point, the whole list receding
in sympathy There were several at
tempts made at a rally, but the main
tendency continued toward lower
basis. Sugar, Lead and Tobacco de-
clned about "a point. The entire market
fell below last nights close and no recu-
perative power developed until lively
covering movement in Chicago Gas at
l o'clock carried the price of that stock
up IL per cent The balance of the
list moved in sympathy. Sugar, the
Changers aud Union Pacific rallied a
point each. However, partial reaction
soon occurred, only TO be followed by
recovery, which was pretty well sustain
ed up to the close.

In Wall Street.

New York. Oct. 22.-Todays stock mar
kat was a contest between professional
traders and the result shows a drawn
battle between the bulls and bears, net
changes being extremely narrow in al
most all cases. but those on the side OF
gains being very few. The bulk of the
DAVIS trading was done at a level of
prices very materially below that of yes
terday. The opening was at sharp de-
clines in sympathy with London, at
which point speculation was very dull
owing to the hadening tendency of the
money market and fears of impending
stringency there. The old apprehension
of Spanish complications was also used
with good effect by the bear traders.
The declines of the morning reached
point or over in a large number of stocks
including the leading industrials, the
grangers, Union Pacific and the South
westerns. Union Pacific was affected by
the reports of the formation of an oppo-
sition syndicate to bid for the property
ait the foreclosure sale. The turn in the
market came with a sharp recovery in
Chicago Gas on a definite report from
Chicago that the control of the threat
ened opposition had passed to friends of
the company. This stock was quite
strong during the remainder of the day,
selling at one time two and a quarter
points above the lowest. Sugar was also
strong factor rising above last nights
close on the estimated benefits to accrue
from countervailing duties on refined
sugars from foreign countries, which
pays a bounty. Union Pacific was re-
lieVed from the early pressure by state
ments from interests alleged to be identi-
fed with the opposition syndicate deny
ing their connection with it. Recover
les ait one time during the afternoon
were complete in almost all cases, but
prices fill slightly below the best and
below last nights close in the final
transactions.
Dealings in Bay State Gas were on
notably large scale, very heavy blocks
changing hands. The huctuation of the
price was limited to &c. There ware
times during the day when the market
was almost stagnant and there were no
evidences of amy outside interest in bust
ness. The money market tended toward
an easier tone, no call loans being re-
corded above psr cent, though the
asking rate Is still retained at 21a per
cent. by some Of the banks. Tomorrow's
bank statement is expected to show
marked increase in this surplus reserve.
over $5OO0,0OO of gold which was re-
ceived from abroad last week, was not
included in last weeks statement. This
weeks treasury and interior movements
have also resulted in a net gain to the
banks. Outside banks have continued to
bid in this market for commecial paper
which may have led to further DE-
crease in the loans of the banks. AS a
result of these operations. the statement
is expected to show handsome increase
In cash.
Business In bonds was quiet and prices
moved in sympa thy with stock but over
a narrow range. Iron Mountain s5s and

bly, weak. Total sales 100000.

Dry Goods.

New York, Oct. 22.-Tfa dry goods
market is stin without fea ture of mo
ment, lhe only change in the situation
being a Slight increase noticed in THE bids
for export goods. This is not believed to
be any radical change in the weights OF
export business, but Simply "a demand or
the moment, which has to be covered.
Reports coming from various s5ctrons
OF the country show that distribution Is
somewhat freer Than 1t has been for
the last fsw days, but it is by no means
active in any section. The market stDll
SHOWS tendencies towards weakness in
all cotton lines, though no openely
avowed reduo. ions in prices have been
noted. Conce ssions are, however, made
quietly in many instances where the
stocks are still heavy and the offeEdngs
from buyers of weight enough to make 1t
an object of particular attention in the
bidding.
Wooden goods and worsteds in bonn
mems wear fabrics and dress goods are
"a strong feature Of The market.
