DRY GOODS MARKETS.

New York, Nov. 1S-There Is no change
IN the qu:etude prevailing in the dry goods
market. Both in cottons and woolens the
market is without feature. There has
been an almost imperceptible gain in the
market, due 10 the better weather having
had a generally better effct on IN mar
ket. In staple cottons there are few buyrs
in the market and mail orders continue
extremely light. Print cloths continue ex-
trenely quiet sales n extras and odds alike
being vedy light SO far this week The
quotation on extras IS still > 5-16c. but the
bid at a lower figure makes that quota

to be the only real factor That the
WORLDS wheat crop is materially short,
there is no question. That Europe has ia
Ken and is still taking our wheat freely Is
a Iact or record. The recent stubbornness
OF the market is an indication of strength
and were t not that we believe the stocks
OF wheat are sufficiently large to supply
ehe wants freely until the Argentine and
southern crops come In we would feel that
hlgher prices would result. As IL is, we
are inclined to take a conservative course,
preferring only to buy wheat on the breaks
and 10 sell short on the rallies The first
sale Of Argentine wheat made IN London
today for April delivery. Corn advanced
early in the game, under continued fair
demand. but weakened slightly with the
break in wheat. Oats again led the adj
vance, and for December option maintain
ed it Mr.. Barrett sold December oats
Provisions ruled quiet during most of the
session, closing practically unchanged.

while few prefer the customs here bofore prevailing. Old women for mer1y practiced begging at stations, but they are admoniJhed not to do so The annual feast of mourning occurs in July and the custom of burning the effects of the departed is not ob- served to the extent that was apparent in the past, the agency endeavoring to have them give up this superstit;ous notion.
 An old resident tells "a good story of Hualapai Charley, who some yeisrS ago, was summoned as witness. An attorney came out to investigate on the part of the government and Char ley was mentioned, at which the agent objected, claiming that an Indian was an incompetent witness, not being able, as he thought, to speak the Eng fish language. Charley happened to be in the next room and overheard the agents remark He dashed in and took the agent to task, saying in good English that the agent was a d-d fool to think a Hualapai could not speak our language. It required an effort to restrain Charley from mak- ing mince-meat Of that agent. The auditors had a hearty laush over Uh e incident and the agent was quick to accept Charley as a competent wit : ness.
 The Supais live 100 miles from Sel- igman on Cataract creek, stream tributary to the Grand canyon. They number 250 persons and are entirely self supporting. deriving revenues ard food from farms comprising 300 to 400 acres. They have their faasts in seasons. The men hunt deer and small game and are disposed to ig- nore the game laws, though cautioned. Chiefs and sub-chiefs are recognized leaders.
