Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 2O.-After a mo- mentary show of strength, cotton was weak again today. Liverpool seems dis- posed to call a halt in the decline and prices there this morning were but one sixty-fourth lower This dispatch was better than expected and our market opened two to five points higher Trade reports from the other side, however, were discouraging. During the morning the market was very dull and steady. In the afternoon the heavy receipts and lower southern market resulted in con- siderable pressure to sell here. The south sent liberal selling orders. The local bears seeing the market without proper support, did what they could to assist the decline, and prices broke sharply. January opened at 6.66. eased to 6.61. advanced to 6.64 and the rapidly de- clined to 6.52, closing at that figure, with the tone of the market easy. Gsn- eral sentiment here continues bearish.

Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Sept. 2O.-TAe stock market was subected to severe test today through the pressure from higher call money sales. London came lower, and New York bankers were advised of the circulation of sinister rumors at the former center with regard to calling of loans and the consequent embarrass- ment of speculation here. Before the first hour was over general and pro- nounced rallies took place. Special ad- vances among the less active issues were scored by Lake Erie and West ern, Evansville and Terre IIaute, Buff falo, Rochester and Pittsburg, and Pan- handle. In the afternoon call money rates hardened until they reached per cent, and prices yielded rapidly under realizations, bear hammering and the execution of stop loss orders. The morn ing advances in many instances extend ed to per cent and over. The late slump went further, the market closed unset tied and generally lower, although there was some relaxation in money rates.

iSet .cpeined from 3 10 points over Sat llrdlay's close. There has been less dis position to sell than for some days past and tho market has consequently ex- atbtied an undertone eff greater staIbil- ity than for some days past. Prices have consequently shown greater resist a1sce to decline than during the past week. and quotations at 1 o'clock were from to 3 points higher than Satur- | day. The buying power has greatly in- creased and 1t is stated that many who have heretofore espoused the bear side are now inclined to regard current prices as relatively Jew, especially in view of unfavorable crop advfces which are daily coming to hand from many sources. Receipts continue to run consid derably less than last season, today's port ar rivals being estimated at 46,000 bales, against 57,411 bales last year, and un- less the movement materially increases Aduring the next few weeks sentiment with regard to cotton will undergo considerable change. To all appea ances we have practically discounted a very Fu7l yield and the possibility of an early frost or the development of a belief that the prospective yield has been overesti- mated are factors that should now be taken into consideration. A favorable feature in the situation is in the fact that prices have. at hast reached a point at which foreign consumers are wiffilg to increase their purchases of the raw material as ds evidenced by takings az gregalhlng 12,0O0 bales in the Liverpool market today. with an increasing de- nland both from speculators and con sumers. The market developed a mean undertone during the afternoon, grad ually declining until the close, which was the lowest point of the day, and 6 to points under Saturday. Estitmat- ed receipts of 24,50O to 25,o00 bales at Houston tomorrow against 10000 last year was the ractor responsible for the decline. It stimulated renewed selling for short account ai1d preclp ated some fresh liquidation which came upon the ma I'llat With the buying too lmf.ed to absorb the offerings. It is only in the southwest, however, where receipts are excessive, the movement throughout The rslmailder of the cotton belt being only moderate.
 The heavy receipts and possibly lower Liverpool in the morning may cause slight decline, but if there may be any reasonable tasis for the reports of se- rtous crop damage recently coming to hard it i'll ultimately be found that cur rent prices are relatively low.

New York, Sept. 20.-The cotton mar ket made steady start at an advance of 2@3 points early cables showing a lesser decline at Liverpool than ex- pected, and also an improved demand for spot cotton.

Grain Letter.

Gram Letter. Birmingham, Ala, Sept 20.-Initial trades in wheat were at slight decline from Saturdays final figures, the result of large worlds shipments Q0059 900 bushels). a decline fin Liverpool of % at 1:S0 p. m., after an advance of that much at the opening and deavy north western receipts. The early selling was by scalpers, influenced by the news, also of the prospects of a large increase in ths visible supply, but offerings were quickly absorbed by commission hous s and bulls, and later the early sellers were forced to cover. causing strong advancs in the market. December sold as high as 931s, or nearly cents above the low point, but subsequently, lost half of this on realizing by holders, while the summary of the worlds shipments could not be construed as bearish, if we consider the large amount which came from America. Other statistical news was rather against holders. The amount on passage increased 1,S4O,OOO bushels, and there was an increase in the visible supply of 1,S74,0O0 bushels. Paris was irregular, 10 centimes higher to 5 cen- times lower, with Antwerp 12k lower Liverpool closed easy 1ad higher for spot and Id higher for futures. The trade was scattered and could not be individualized. Receipts were below the estimate, and out of 459 cars only 39 were graded No. g. Clearances amount ed to 57S,00O bushels.
 Corn opened steady and rallied sharp 1y on the smaller receipts than esti- mated and Shows estimate of a 1,75O, ,0Oo.- 900 bushel crop, which is in line with the estimate given by the Cincinnati Price Current.
 It is said that Armour & Co. have transferred about S00,000 bushels from public elevators to their private arouses, thus merely taking the corn out of the visible but in no way altering the actual stock in the city. The buying early was principally by the short interest, who were supplied by holders and some flour traders.
 The advance was subsequently all lost. but most of tt was recovered again at the close.
 Provisions dlave been steady, with healthier tone to the market than for some time past Packers were the prln- cipal buyers. with offerings light. Hog receipts were moderate, prices at the yards being a little higher. Cash de- ma1Id continues good and vii materially increase when the south gets over the yellow fever scare.

They Want Him Appointed.

The sPontaneous support which Ex-Goy.
Hoard, Of Wiscon.in in, is receiving from the
agricultural press for the jsition Of Secretary
of Agriculture. under the Mckinley admins
tration is certainly commendatory to the
gentleman.
1t is a tribute Of regard from the people to
a man into whose hands they would gladly
and with perfect assurance and faith, entrust
the great interests of American agriculture
The action of the Michigan Horticultural So
ciety showed how well Mr.. Hoard stood in
the hearts of the people. He IS in every way
fitted for the place, and while not horti-
culturist in the strict sense of the word he is
well qualified, and will care for their inter
ests, as well as that of dairying and agricul-
tural in general. The best years of his life
have been given to this work, and the vigor
with which he handles all such matters also
commends him to the place. BY his labors
the standard of American products, especially
darying have been elevated both at home
and abroad. He is a practical farmer and
a man of affairs as we'll. His magnificent
record as executive of Wisconsin stamps him
as statesman, and leaves no room to doubt
his ability to fill acceptably the office de
manded Of him. The agricultural depart
ment was created for the farmer, no one can
conduct it but farmer; and the man the
farmer indorses for the place should have ii.
His appointment is opposed by the oleomar-
garine men, and they are strenuously at work,
but this should only encourage us all to bestir
ourselves and make his appointment sure.
The relentless war he made against frauds
and authorizations which we know nearly de-
stroyed our export trade, should also make
him the more dear to all farmers. His work
is matter of history. We feel proud of his
record. As a member Of AicKinley's cabinet
he would not only know what to do, but
what will be better undone. Practical Farm

TWENTIETH ANNUAL CONVENTION AT

The Resolutions Committee offered
a resolution to the following effect
That we as dair men and farmers
of the Empire Stato feel deep interest
in the selection OF the best man as u.
s. Secretary of Agriculture. We,
therefore in annual meeting assembled
do most respectfully and earnestly rec
ommend and endorse Ex-Gov. w. d.
Hoard of Wisconsin for appointment.
We know Gov. Hoard. We have full
confidence in his ability and integrity
and believe him better fitted to fill that
important place to our advantage than
any other man that could be selected. -
Unanimously adopted.

teal farmer and man of affairs as
well. His magnificent record as ex-
ecutive Of Wisconsin stamps him as a
statesman, and leaves no room to
doubt his ability to fill acceptably the
Office demanded for him. The agri-
cultural department was created for
the farmer, no one can conduct it but
a farmer, and the man the farmers in
dorse for the place should have it. If
a voice has been raised against Gov.
Hoard by farmer it has been too
weak to be heard. But there are other
and powerful influences at work against
him and his kind. The oleomargarine
men are at work. These slippery fell
lows will bear watching. Talk for
Hoard and work for Hoard and keep it
up till he succeeds Secretary Morton.
