New York, October 3.-Dry goods Were
quiet and featureless. The threatening
weather interfered with business in the
jobbing stores. At first hands there was
a continued dearth of interest except in
certain popular lines in which buying

to insure the completeness or stocks. In
all the more staple lines business has
been light and no prospects of imme-

COTTON.
New York, October 3.-Reports of Il
severe storm in the Atlantic States and
q bullsh set of cables from the English
market were responsible for an adj
vance of 3 to 5 points in cotton futures
at the opening this morning. For the
rest of the session fluctuations were
narrow and speculative features lack
ing. lit was small. local marker at
best, with room traders in control. Liver
pool sent a few buying orders around the
opening and SouthC IN representatives
sold in a scattered way, but aside from
this transactions were more for the
evening up of former obligations than
the putting out of new ventures. The
close was quiet and steady at g net
advance of to points. News averaged
up too conflicting to inspire confidence
one way or the other, but rather led
to extreme conservatism and hesitancy
all around. While the leading bears
pointed to the enormous receipts Mt the
ports as well as at interior towns as
bearing out their predictions for another
bumper crop, they were apprehensive
in view Of the fact that yellow fever
continues to gain Roadway in Louisiana

Two Well Known Producers Have
 Passed Into New Hands

The Climax and Standard mines sold yesterday to c. B. Bosworth of Deming, N. NJ, will now be operated again, says the Wilcox News. The Climax mine has a good past record Some 1000 tons of ore have been mill ed from this mine which assayed BPS per ton. About S14 per ton was saved on the plates, as this work was done sixteen years ago when gold proper ties were worked on the most extraya- gant plan. The tailings, which con- ta1ned at least half the value of the ore, were allowed to go to waste. Re- gently Wlnze was sunk in the drift on this mine to Q depth of twentv-fve feet, opening up four and a half feet Of ore assaying an ounce in gold and tWenty-eight per cent lead This show ing attracted the present purchasers to whom the mine was sold through George H. Wilson of this place. It is understood that Mir Wilson is very actively engaged in promoting the sale or several large groups of promisine mines in Dos Cabezas district in the vicinity of the Climax mine. Now that the Casey mines as we'll have been placed in the management of a DOW erful syndicate, this district, the value Of whose properties has lon 2 been To- cally recognized, is in a fair way to he opened up.

WAR EXTRAS" OF 1861.
How the News of the Firing on Sumter
 Was Spread in a Western Town.

T remember the news of the begin ming Of the civil war as it came to our town said a man who is not yet a veteran. "I was about 16 years old. l was returning home in the afternoon saw coming toward me horse rid den, as l call it, madly, by man. As they came nearer I heard the man shouting. The horse was blowing like locomotive. I noticed that the man rode bareback. Every time he yelled he plunged his heels into the sides of the horse. I do not remember the ex- act words of the rider but they were about war beginning As he rode people in the street who saw him stop ped, listened, and asked one another | about it, many windows along the way were hoisted, and as I proceeded home ward the women who knew me called from the 1ookouts and asked me what that man said about the war.
 When I reached home I found my mothers parlor a scene of confusion The neighbors had called in to tell her what they knew and to ask what she knew about the war. The negroes about our house were frightened One of them took refuge in the cellar and came out only after she had been lIIedteHeu. heT lear was tue dUollSH- iners.' The word Yankee as an op- probrious epithet had not at that time come into use.
 There was Dutch hotel in the town on the roof of which was tri- angle. For many years it was the town clock. It dangled out the hour for the three meals, breakfast, dinner and supper, and when it sounded the housewives looked at their timepieces This triangle changed out that after noon before supper time. An earth quake would have caused no more commotion. The proprietor of the tav- ern beat the triangle until the city marshal made him stop it.

CHANGING PARTIES.

The autonOmsts. reformists and con-
scrvatives We're the three parties in
existence when the revolution began in
1898. In the political COnvulsions of the
last three years the reformist party
has entirely disappeared. The more
radical of its members Joined thh in
surgents, while the great majority be-
came autonOmists.
With the coming of Blanco the con-
selNatiVes went out Of office and power
So completely that they have only eX-
listed really more as an organization
that as a living element in the politics
Of the time. The position of the con-
servative party for the past year in
cuba has been somewhat similar to
that of the royalists' in France-a re-
mombrance of the past and a possible
ity of the fture, rather than reality
of the present. All of Blancos APP
pointments were autonomists. An over
Whelming majority of the deputies IN
the newly formed "camara insular,"
or local parliament, belonged to that
party, 1t is a mistake To suppose that
autonomsts were any less loyal sub
jects of the king of Spain than the
conservatives had been. ON the con-
/ y y
their loyalty was active and practical
while that Of the conservatives was
| passive ana theoretical.
With the passing Of the conservatives
the two balancing political parties were
| supplied by the division that at once
| followed among the autonOmists into
| radical and conservative wings. They

AUTONOMY'S FAILURE.
! Autonomy, like the old regime, had
| proved failure; but the two autono-
| mist parties continued TO exist. They
realized the new conditions and made
a party issue Of it. The radicals, under
the leadership of Eliseo Giberga, issued
what in the United States would be
called Il platform. In it they declared
that they accepted the triumph of the
| United States as final. That independ.
ence hRl been victorious, and they

CONDESCENSION.

Yes said n Cuban general in his
camp To me the other day, the United
States is a great nation; if they had
not been we would never have accept
ed their offer of assistance in our strug-
gle with Spain"
That is the spirit of all Cuban COM
| ment on the United States. They were
! kind enough to accept our services in
| their behalf "The condescension in
foreigners" reaches its climax in Cuba.
Meanwhile reConcentrados die, and
the SpaniardS retire. The first rapid
ly and the last very slowly. Every
one in Cuba has become so used TO re-
! concentrates sufferings that their
| daily deaths from starvation attract
| far less of public interest than the
| seething political questions of the hour
| Numerically, there are not so many
| deaths among the reconcentradOs today
| as last spring. The reason is that so
| many have died already that there are
really comparatively only a few vic
| tins left for the death harvest. The
| blockade added to the hunger horror
| all over the island, but its force was
] principally felt outside of Havana,
| where the concentrated resources OF
a metropolis were enabled in some de-
grees to alleviate the sufferings.
An illustration of Cuban conditions
] witnessed the other day in Matan-
zas. Here the suffering and mortality
among the reconcentrados is something
| frightful; men and women drop like
dogs in the street every day and die
| without a groan. AutonOmists, Gu
bans and Spaniards blame each other
for the sad state Of affairs, but all in
sist that there is positively no money
i'm the town with which to buy pro-
! visions.

HOW TO ANCHOR A POST.

the top of the post. By using stick,
b, the wire can be tightened if there is
any tendency to become loose. To move
the fence, loosen the lower strand from
the posts. Begin at one end and make
coil about two feet across. Roll this on
the ground, crossing and recrossing the
strand of wire with the roll, about
every foot of length on the strand.
The barbs will hold it and keep the roll
together. When the roll is as large as is
convenient to handle, cut the wire and
begin again. When replacing fasten
one end to the post where the top wire
is to stay and roll along the ground
close to the posts. Follow with the sec
oud one little further off and then the
third. Experience has proved to me
that this is the easiest, quickest and
best plan to remove wire fence, as after
some practice it can be done quickly
