New York Cotton Market.


 New York October 1S-The influences representing the cotton market today was generally against holders of the staple. In the first place the movement of cotton at ports was of burdensome proportions, while heavy forecasts as to the movement of the week at the interior towns empha- sized this feature. At the same time cable adyices from Liverpool were of bearish purport. The withdrawal of speculative support was another drawback, while spot buyers in the various markets of the south were also reported to be showing a retreat ing relation to the staple. These were con ditions which led to an easier opening or our market this morning at decline Of Z to points, a subsequent loss of to I points further followed liquidation and pounding by the bears. Later, however there was a partial recovery on which prices gained to points on a disposi- tion to take profits with some investment buying on claims of killing frost at numer- ous points in the south. In the afternoon the market was notably steadier, official forecasts pointing to still colder weather in the cotton belt particularly in the Atlantic and central states. Trading, taking the day as a whole was only moderately active The market was finally steady at net loss of to 2 points.

ARE YOUR KEYS RUSTY?
The Philosophers Sure Test of Mans
 Temperament.

'It's all a matter of temperament" said the good natured man. "It is just as easy to avoid trouble with men as to get into tiff you know how. Some men are well balanced nervously, and that's why they're easy to get aong with. You sometimes think it's you that does it. but it isn't. It takes two persons to quarrel. All you've got to do if you're a philosopher in search of peace, is to find out the temperament of your man and act accordingly.
 "Yes, bless you there are hundred ways of telling a mans temperament, but the physiological signs are not always exact. Men of strong natures disguise their true characteristics oftener than you think, and you are likely to be fooled.
 "I have a simple method of learning the temperament of my man that l have found to be very accurate When I see his bunch of keys I know him. Your nervous man of much energy and nasty action In thought, speech and movement carries bunch or rusty keys. Why? Because his nature IS intense. He does everything at high ten sion. This is an admirable attribute, and ofen productive of great good, but that man is likely to be nasty, and if you do not know him you are into an atercat1on Tn spite of yourself.
 .'Vhy are his keys rusty? I'll tell you. Such a person perspires constantly. l don't mean that he perSp1reS perceptiply put that his skin Is always warm and moist this moisture permeates his clothing and affects the keys in his pocket. which soon become rusty. It Is as unfailing a sign of a mans temperament as his face is often a complete mask.
 "Now for the man with the shining keys on which there is not a speck of rust. He is deliberate slow of thought and speech. You canno quarrel with him because he must think it over. and meantime you have had time to think 1t over, and so you part friends His skin is cool and dry all ways"
 With that the good-natured man exhib- tied his keys: they were as bright as when srst made he other man took out his keys. not one that was not rusted. In this In stance, at least. the sign had come true for the man of the rusty key was exactly in ternnerament as the other had said he should be.

CHEAP RATES
To Porto Rico and Other Points in the
 West Indies.

Announcement was made few days ago in these columns that the West In dian Excursion company, of Atlanta, Ga., would conduct an excursion about Novem- Der 10 to Porto Rico and other points in the West Indies. The parties who have charge of this excursion are among the best and most careful business men of At lanta. The fact that they have chartered a splendid sea-going vessel with the ca pacity to carry about $50 first-cass pa sengers, and have arranged every conven- fence and comfort for them, shows that they have been moving in the right direc- ton.
 It is said that the round trip, including all the expenses of whatever character, to Porto Rico will be very low. Many appli- cation have already been filed at the At lanta office, and. of course, the first S50 people will be the ones who will get the tickets, as only that number can be ac- commodated.
 Send 10 cens for map of Porto Rico and full particulars, to the West Inidan EXcur- sion company, Atlanta, Ga.

In Wall Street.

New York, October 1S.-Price of stocks drifted sluggishly and to all appearance aimlessly all through today's session. The utmost stagnant condition of the market were scarcely relieved by single feature Even the "trust' stocks fell itno neglect after long period of cratic fluctuations Tobacco was raided down at the opening on announcements that the much talked of plug tobacco combination had once more fallen through. There was injected into the du1lest portion of todays trading two successive transactions of 12,500 shares and 5000 shares respectively of tobacco pre- ferred at 115 "seller 30" This represented a transaction of over $2, ,000 900 and was sup posed to show the disposal of the company s treasury stock. application for the listing of which was made on yesterday. The common stock was rather feverish for n time after this sale, but settled down into steadiness and neglect There was an up turn in Sugar also during the day, but was expected by the news that certain grades of soft sugars had been advanced in price. Realizing subsequently wiped out practi- eally all of the advance.
 The railroad list he'd generally firm throughout the early part of the day, but subsequently eased off in sympathy with Sugar and Northern Pacific. The daily at tack on coalers lacked vim and the decline only reached a point in New Jersey Gen. tral All reports agree that 1t is difficult to secure enough cars to meet the demand for the freight movement both eastward and westward bound The speculative pub lie probably views these developments with apathy. The same apathy existed to- day in all the security markets of the world. the pause infLondon being attribute ed to waiting for more settled political conditions and the completion of liquida- tion in Berlin growing out of the money str'ngency there. The process of accun1- ulating exchange here Is going on from day to day. and the banks continue to gain cash from the subtrea sury. The final allotment of government bonds at Washington makes it probable that government deposits in national banks will soon approach the $100,- 006 GOO mark, after which the running deficit in the revenues is expected to steadily di- minish their account.

Dry Good:

New York, October 1S.--The dry goods market was subject to the usual Tuesday limitations which, however. were not so marked as they were when the weather was less seasonabe. The colder wea ther conditions have helped the trading in all lines to some extent. In the woolen goods division of the market there is some can cellations reported from day to day. They arc by no means as heavy as they have been in previous years. In dress goods the trading continued quiet and without feature The advance in prices of the print cloth market failed to bring out heavy buyers. and the market was not ex- ceedingly active. Staple cottons were quiet in nearly all grades, the market for brown goods of all descriptions was firm and steady. Export grades were In quiet request Buyers and sellers were apart in their ideas of prices

Paine, Murphy 6 Co.'S Grain Letter

Birmingham, October 1S-Early cables showed great strength with Liverpoors s final prices 1asd higher than yesterdays
 In addition to this northwest receipts showed a falling off and indications point to less tomorrow on account of the storm of yesterday and the heavy snow west The principal selling was by seaboard buyers of last week. This caused some reaction, after the strong opening and was also helped by sellers against call privileges. But the reaction was short lived and prices again hardened The shorts not caring to carry over the peace holiday of tomorrow. Corn continues strong, both home and abroad Clifford started the buying today, presumably for foreign account and both options made a new high record for this closed strong. While occasional breaks in cereals will necessarily come, we are still bullish and expect much higher prices.
