New York, Oct 6.-The dry goods

of interest in any division of the market.

New York, Oct. 6.-The Liverpool
cables at hand when the local market
opened this morning, just about fitted
the advance. made by our market yester-
day, and the opening was rather tame;
about steady in tone and at unchanged
prices to an advance of one point Fol
lowing the CALL however, cables from
Liverpool showed up in better shape and
local shorts became alarmed. A local
advance of to 4 points was the result.
The feature of the later cables was the
increase in spot sales to 10000 bales,
resulting in an advance of 1-32d III
prices. The heavy buying in the Eng
lish market caused no little concern on
the part of the shorts here, as it was
claimed that the Englishmen were buy
ing on fears Of a bullish report and frost
in the cotton belt. Liquidation set in
later and the advance was again lost.
Trading became conservative following
private cables stating that the English
furry was over for the present. The
final phases of the market reflected 4
confusion of ideas, with marked uncer-
tainty regarding the probable character
of the Bureau report to be issued on
the 10th. The market closed steady at
net loss of 2 to points, having de-
elined ut the last minute under realizing.

Miss Frances E. Willard.

In the death of Frances E. Willard
this country loses one OF its best
known, best loved and most remark
able women. For 81 years she has
devoted herself to the cause of tenn
perance, organizing great body of
women, probably the largest in the
world, who have Loyalty supported
her in the work. 1t was a great
thing to have organized the W. c. T.
u on a permanent foundation, but
to have been the leader OF it so long.
and to have won and held the love
of so many women for so long time,
shows the remarkable ability, sagac-
ity and judgment of Miss Willard as
well as her thorough devotion to the
interests of the organization. A
born leader, ready, pleasing and
forcible talker, a woman whom to
know was to greatly respect and es
teen, Miss Willard easily and grace.
fully filled the position as the leader
in a great movement, and now, taken
away, she leaves behind her a re-
markable record and thousands of
friends all over the land to mourn
her loss. Many in this section made
the acquaintance of Miss Willard
last summer when with other w. c.
7. U. leaders she attended the tenn.
perance campmeetng at Lyndonville
and also at the tree planting at
North Danville where her mother
was born.

serving tribute to the present incum
bent, E sha May of St. Johnsbury.
The article is as follows:
"Controller Dawes will not act at once
in regard to changes in the position OF
bank examiner for the Vermont and
Connecticut districts. There are several
recommendation tor changes before him
in different parts OF the country, and he
intends to consider them all at one time
alter some other pressing matters have
been disposed OF. The Vermont appoint
ment will probably be made when the
controller is able to take the matter up.
William A. Lord Of Montpelier, who has
the Endorsement Of the republican dele
cation from the state, has been in Wash
ington and had talk with Mr.. Dawes.
He is the son Of DR.. Lord and the grand
son OF President Lord OF Dar' mouth.
Controller Dawes is not so much dis.
posed to insist upon technical knowledge
OF accounts ana banking details in ap-
pointing new examiners as upon their
general qualifications and business stand.
ing. Mr. Lord is strongly Endorsed upon
these points by the Vermont members,
but they do not deny that the present
examiner also possesses them in high
degree. The controller does not desire
TO impair the service by appointing new
men who are not well qualified, but will
give the prefer. nee to republicans where
other things are equal"
