Cotton Letter

 Liverpool cables were F to point high CT, with sales of 12,0O0 bales. New York opened unchanged to point lower, and remained dull and uninteresting, with light sales. all day. Port receipts continue lib- eral, being 10000 bales, against 57,101 bales last year.
 Early reports of a. killing frost in the southwest had no effect. We notice small falling off in Liverpool demand Should such be the case lower prices would re- suit. Reports from South Carolina are still surprising to all except expert judges. Where it looked like a failure at one time a short spell of hot weather brought 1t out fully, and large crop has been gath cred.

morning, the second cables being but slightly under our closing prices. while tlls market for Centals after the close thers advanced to 109. In Paris a semi-panlc prevailed, heavy English and Russian withdrawals taking place and the gold ex- port exchange ruling as high as 43c. The failure of the western roads yesterday to agree to satisfactory rate was expected to bring about a bearish effect, but our market has shown strength all day, and while the range has been narrow prices have remained firm. It was predicted that the decision of the courts adverse to the railroads would cause a heavy break in values, but it seems that now they are thrown on their own resources, and are not suffering any more than they were under the joint traffic association. It is stated that the American Tobacco company has absolute options on the independent com panles, although the same has not. been executed, which accounts in measure for the strength of this stock today, which we think high enough to sell.

Deciced to Be ImpracticabIe

Chicago, October 26.-The Post today says: An independent trans Missouri Pas senger association has turned out to be wholly impractcable. At least the roads east of the dividing line have about reached this conclusion. They have discouraged the committee which they ap- pointed to act with the committee of lines west of the river to arrange the basis of organization for such an association.

This is true of cot ton goods, the interest in which has shown a distinct gain since the new agreement has been signed by the Fall River print cloth manufacturers. In staple cottons there have been fairly heavy orders report ed for brown goods in wide sheetings, standards and drills. The converting trade IS responsible for fairly heavy purchases.

New York Cotton Market.

New York, October 26.-The entire scope of the cotton market today was a matter of. only points. The general policy of tra- ders was to go slow and watch the move ment of the crop The more immediate influences. were Liverpool cables, which showed an unsa atisfactory response to the bullish overtures made by our market yes- terday. This caused a decline of 1 to 2 points on the opening, which finished with the market steady in tone. The bear con- tingent was disposed to be conservative on account of the continued low tempera- ture following the heavy killing frosts re- ported last night. The fact that the stock market was in better shape failed to stim- ulate speculation in cotton. Supplementlng yesterdays heavy exports of cotton were claims of continued interest in the south- ern spot markets and a prospect for con tinued outward movement.
 As compared with yesterdays closing figures today's market at the lowest polnt showed a decline of 2 to points.
 New York, October 26.-Cottton was dull, but easy; middling, 7-16c; net receipts, III bales; gross, S,426 bales; sales, 2S4 bales; exports to continent, 100 bales; stock, 4,- 095 bales.
 Total today: Net. receipt 69,212 bales; exports to Great Britain, 4,069 bales; to continent, 100 bales stock 975,447 bales.
 Consolidated statement: Net receipts, 26S, 041 bales; exports to Great Britain, 121,- 096 bales; to France, PHO bales; to the continent, 42,992 bales.

PROMPT JUSTICE IN MEXICO.

In Mexico the laws delays are less
vexatious than in the United States.
Indeed, one hears nothing at all about
delay in the administration of Mexican
justice. A short time ago paymaster
went down into Sonora with between
$4,000 and $1,000. He stopped over
night at ranch, where he was robbed
and murdered The robbers were
caught by the local police, but the
magistrate discharged them. Then
the government took hand in the af-
fair. The robbers were caught again
and shot Immediately. The magis-
trate who had acquitted them was also
shot. The Waterman at whose house
the robbery occurred was shot. Some
distant accessories after the fact were
shot. In all 16 men were shot.-Bos-

WHY CHINESE DON'T USE WATER.

The filth of the Chinese was a won
der to me, considering that in our
country most of them are in the laun-
dry business. was told the reason
they use so little water. Water is,
and has always been scarce in China.
Again and again drouths have caused
the crops to fail and hundreds of thou
sands to die from starvation. So, sew
eral centuries ago, the great priests
of the different provinces were called
to Pekin in consultation, to find some
means by which people should be rem
dered cautious in their use of the
priceless fluid. At that meeting the
priests had a wonderful revelation
from Heaven to the effect that, after
death, we will have to drink in another
world all the water we have defled in
this world.-A. B. de Guerville in Il

A shout from the Doge's barge told
that Palombo in the white gondola
was discovered, for he had sent his
boatman to say it was coming.
"Seize the villain!" cried the
Doge's chamberlain.
The emissaries of the Doge were

and exclaimed frantically: II am
