COTTON.
New York, Oct 5.-The cotton mar
ket continues to show moderate amount
Of speculative energy, but lacks consid-
cradle volume as to speculation. The
bear element found influences at The
start to-day very much against them,
the most important of which was an adj
vance of t-32d in the price of spot cotton
at Liverpool and exceptional activity IN
the part of Manchester spinners.
Among other factions were buying orders
from abroad, reports that stiffening rates
were being entertained by Soucnern spot
cotton dealers, further rams III th,, north
ern portion of the cotton belt, and 4
marked drop in temperature in the South
west. The smaller shorts nccanaI netv-
Gus and covered as far as practicable
on the opening. First sales were at IN
advance of 2d4 points, and for the rest
of the session the general .endcac. of
the market was toward a higher level Of
values, with covering the principal fen.
ture of the speculation.
The official weather bulletin attracted
unusual attention, and Indicated the
formation of another cold wave n the
Dakotas, which took on almost the rro-
portions of a blizzard. The fact that the
temperature at Amerillo. Texas, had
fallen an additional IA degrees caused
even the more confident bears to become
uneasy, especially as the forecast from
Washington was for still lower tempera-
ture throughout the Southwest Tonight

Ter of the bank, William Steele. has
been having a hearing before "a United

out. The following is taken from the
Philadelphia Ledger's account of the
proceedings:

The cruelty of our protective tariff
system was never better shown than
in the New York custom house one day
last week According TO the New York
Times. while Inspector George Dayton
was examining a trunk belonging to a
pretty young woman VINO was pas
senger on the Bremen steamship Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, which arrived
Tuesday night, he found a small paste
board box, tied with blue ribbon. He
was about to take it out when his arm
was seized by the young woman, who
pleaded with him not to open it, saying
she would rather pay any amount OF
duty rather than have the contents,
the nature of which she refused to di-
vulge, exposed to public view. Inspec-
tor Dayton explained that his duty
compelled him to examine everything
brought from a foreign country. As he
united the ribbon the young woman
began to weep, and left the dock. A
crowd gathered and waited expectantly
for the box to be opened. Inspector
Dayton finally removed the cover. and
found a quantity Of cotton shielding its
contents. 1t was thought the box con-
tanned precious diamonds. When the
cotton was removed a set of false teeth
was found. The owner of the teeth did
not return.

EuRopE's MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Washington correspondent of a
Chicago paper says it appears there is
a reverse side to the memorandum that
was presented to President Mckinley
by the ambassadors. While they thus
recognize the Monroe doctrine and ac-
knowledge the supremacy of the United
States in American affairs, diplomatists
in Washington discover that one OF the
chief objects of the representation was
to unite the European powers on a
proposition that the United States
must not interfere in European affairs;
must recognize a Monroe doctrine over
there. This proposition is particularly
pertinent just now in anticipation of
a war with Spain, which might tempt
our fleets to blockade Barcelona, Ma
Iaga. Cadiz or Santander. This would
seriously interfere with the commerce
of Europe, and 1t is believed that an
understanding that our fleets will not
cross the Atlantic has been reached be-
tween the president and the European
powers.
Who these diplomatists are is not
stated: presumably they are the repre-
sentatives OF the various foreign gov
ernments that have legations at the
capital. This government has no desire
in the world to Interfere in the affairs
