Typhoi.l DecrensIng.

Anniston, Ala, Nov. 3.-Typhoid
fever, which has been mildly prevalent
at Camp Shipp for some time. is on a
decrease in all regiments except the
Fourth Wisconsin, and preparations
are being made to move that command
to site west of the Second Arkansas.
While there is believed to be little If
any local causes for sickness at the
present camp, a removal is easily ac-
complished. The sinks will be burned,
the tents from which typhoid cases
came will be thoroughly disinfected
and the tent haps washed in bichloride.

WILL DEPART THIS MONT
Two Points on the Island s
Designated For Occupation.
PREPARATIONS FOR DEPARTURE
After Careful Consideration of che n
ports OF the Military oaioers In
Cuba. Secretary AIger Di-
rects the Movements
OF Troops.


Warrington Nov S.--Seeretary 54I-
ger issued the first order looking to tha
military occupation of Cuba by the
United States troops.
The order was issued only after very
careful consideration of the reports
Of the military officers now in Cuba,
and of the Hecker board and other
expert commissioners, which have
been in the field.
The order looks to the occupation
of two points to begin with. namely
Nuevitas and Puerto Principe, but the
occupation will be extended az rapidly
as the Spanish evacuation proceeds.
The order directs the movement to
begin at once, but according to the
calculations of the department it will
scarcely be feasible to make the first
landing before Nov. %.
Headquarters of the new corps which
has been created for the purpose of
beginning the occupation will be at
Neuvitas, under the command of Cen
eral L. n. Carpenter. He is now in
command of the cavalry brigade, COM
posed of the Sixth and Seventh cavalry,
at Huntsville, Ala. The order is as
follows:
The headquarters of six troops of
the Eighth United states cavalry and
the Third Georgia volunteers will be
at Neuvitas.
Six troops of the Eighth United
States cavalry and the Fifteenth in
fantry to Puerto Principe.
The regiment will be prepared for
embarkation at once and the subsist-
ence department will arrange for the
necessary ratlons The command will
be equipped and rationed for 60 days.

With an enormous cotton crop the spinncis
are able to select and purchase only inc oe.-
ter grades OF cotton and the consequence 70
that the higher qualities are much firmer tiah
inferior grades.
1t was expected the New York committee,
wien they revised spot quotations yesterday
evening, would advance the high grades anu
reduce the lower cncs. They did not 90 No,
however. While mddling remains unchanged
all other grades ATE advanced. TINS, ~ni'o
placing grades above midclrg at a premium
aiso advances poorer qualities.
Galveston reduced all grades from low or
di;iary to good ordinary f-16. Otherwise inc

Tho first essential to IL high level Of values
under existing market conditions, n broadfn-
Ing demand for cotton from investors on the
theory that the staple is cheap aud a safe
purchase at present prices, is becoming more
and moro in evidence" says tho New York
Commercial This demand is holding the
market steady thus preventing any important
decline. in spite of tho recent phenomenal
and record-breakng movement OF cotton. This
buying also prevents any large shorting of
the market by local bears. 1t is pointed out
that even II the crop is II, 100000 bales strong
spectators and investors will buy 3.oO0.og0
bales at and around present prices, and that
this cotton will not be for sale short or u
advance. Further, planters will probably hold
at least 100000 bales. because they not
raise cotton at present prices. and they VIII
probably hold it for substantial rise Thus, |
it Is figured that If cotton as outlined above is
practically held away from the market. it |
would leave only 7.o00.000 bales for actual con-
sumption, and the balance of 5,0G0000 bales |
could only be Obtained at n substantial adj |
vance over present prices. The above repre-
sents the views of some conservative people. y
They may be right and they may be wrong |
in their conclusions. nevertheless. as showing |
a drift Of conservative thought regarding the |
future OF the cotton market.

b. w. Hunter & Co. say Of today's cotton
market; Liverpool did good spot business.
sales 1900 bales and was up 1ik-6i on con-
tracts. but lost 1a-6i. This was a better mar
kos than expected from there and the good
spot demand was particularly encouraging.
Our markets opened to points higher, but
the revision of spots in New York by which
the higher grades We're advanced, and the
lower grades not reduced was considered as
making future contracts in that market less
valuable, and the selling on this carried
prices down a point below yesterdays close,
but on tho decline the demand was excellent,
ana more working on the short side for \
further. down turn all came in, and prices
easily advanced to the best of the day the
close being points up on the day. Houston's
estimate was rather liberal. but the receipts
at ports were light, falling 10000 bales short
OF last week. and as this is now the most
influential feature to the trading, 1t added to
the strength Of the market The excellent
spot demand in Liverpool, and continued light
receipts, can result only in one way, and the
market has every appearance OF having al
ready touched the lowest of the season. and
Exiting under Roadway for much higher prices
There was some talk today OF the advance in
Liverpool being influenced by fears of re-
newed complications between Spain and the
Unitec States, and this is question at least
worthy OF the most careful attention from
traders interested In the markets.
