HAVEN AND STOUT'S COTTON
LETTER.

New York, \. Y, July 16.-(Special.)
The market has been somewhat more
active during the past week, but the
trading is still of very moderate proper
tons, and fluctuations i'll prices are
slight. There has been no pressure to
sell, as traders continue to await the
developments of the next few weeks,
and the bearishly inclined are deferred
from short selling by the fact that the
present price is considered low. The gov
bureau report, issued early in
the week, was on the whole favorable,
showing an average condition on July
1st of 91.O2 per cent. against 80 per cent.
of the LIST of June. Sc per cent. OF the
1st Of July, 1897, 92.5 in 1896, and S2.3
i'll 1890. 1t should be noted that the
condition is over ) per cent. better than
Il year ago. In Texas the condition is
> per cent. better than last month and
+ per cent. better than in 1897. The re-
port had nc effect upon the market, be-
cause in the main, it merely echoed pri-
waite reports, and also because the wealth
cr within the next few weeks might com
pletely change the present good prospects.
1T is to be remembered that in 1896 the
bureau rcpOrt- indicated Il condition of
921l2 per cent, and yet drought and the
very hot weather which prevailed during
tl1t ftNl u oot b1i Nul tilt
mont of August, greatly reduced the
yield of that year and caused Il very
marked advance in prices. During the
latter part of the week the market has
shown some increase of tirmneSS on the
report that yellow fever has broken out
in our army before Santiago. it being
feared that the ScOurge might in this
way be introduced into the South. Re
ports also Indicate Il superiority of mois-
turc in the lower Mississippi Valley and

where excessive rains have interfercd
with cultivation, and the plant, while
growing rapidly. is becoming weedy and
is not taking IN fruit. Still. We are UNI
abb" to see that the favorable crop cOndi-
tionS have been modified to any appre-
cable extent. and the outlook continues
highly satisfactory.
At the moment there is little upon
which to base the hope Of an advancing
market, but. OF the contrary, with the ia
vorable conditions continuing, Il decline
would seem inevitable.
The textile markets have. as was ex-
pected, responded to the advent of fine
weather by an increased and better dis
tributed volume Of business. Store trade
is encourag ing, and mail orderS are more
satisfactory. The usual large buyers of
staple cottonS are cOnSpicuouSly in ev-
idencc. but more moderate sized orders
are being received than for some time
past. 1t is reported that stocks Of goods
generally in second hands have been
considerably reduced. Print cloths are
quiet but steady. and sellers appear less
willing to accept &C for deliveries neyond

Half of the prisoners OO-who can
not do so we'll, work the mud up into
rude bricks, with which they build
shelters that wash down at every hard

even this, but lie around on the ground,
on old blankets and overcoats, and in
daytime prop these up on sticks, as
shelter from the rain and wind.
Let them be given not to exceed q

Historic Bat,fsffacs.

The battleflags of the Oneida County
New York; regiments in their possession
have been formally presented to the Oneida
Historical Society To- be deposited in the
MunSen- Williams Memorial Hall. At ths
presentation there was a large attendance
of veterans from all parts OF the country,
the Grand Army Posts, members OF the
Historical Society and the Woman's Relief
Corps, together with some OF the patriotic
women who presented the flags originally
to the veterans. The exercises were patti
otto and of the highest interest.
The flags were received by Department
Commander A. ID. Shaw on behalf of the
Historical Association. They include d
United States flag OF the nth y. Y, pre-
scented by the ladies' of Utica, May "a, 1851,
and the New York State banner, presented
by the Sons of Oneida, residing i'm New
York and Brooklyn, to the Oneida Volun-
teers, June 10, 1861. The flag OF the 18th,
presented by Gov. Moran when the regi-
ment took the field, June 20, 1861 and
which was returned TO Gov. Seymour sOiled
and tattered, but crowned with honor is in
the State Capitol at Albany. The inscrip-.
ton attached to it closes: ut has the
proud record that it never had its pickets
driven in and never turned its back to the
enemy"
The two flags presented the Historical
Society have record equally proud.
The Society of the 117th n. Y. presented
1862, and which saw three years service
and was carried home tattered and bullet
riven.
The 10th presented a regimental flag
which they followed from before the battle
of Fredericksburg, Dec. 10, 1862, to the sur
render at Appomattox in 1865.
The I'd n. Y. III. 4. presented flags and
guidOns which had seen valiant service in
the Army of the Potomac from the fatal
Spottsylvania to victorious AppOmattox.
The flags of Gen. McQuade's Headquar-
tiers, Second Brigade, First Division, Fifth
Corps, were carried to the front, when pre-
scented, by four grandsOns of Gen McQuade.
Besides the Headquarters flag was the flag
of the Fifth Corps; palmetto flag cap
tured at Malvern Hill by Peter Picker and
John O'Brien, of the 14th n. Y, of which
capture Gen. McQuade was an eye witness,
and a Confederate signal flag, taken at
Fort Fisher, presented by John ID. Jones,
of the 117th N. Y.

ANCESTRAL MOUNT vERNoy.

ANCESTRAL MOUNT VERNON.
A Pilgrimage Down the Potomac-The Crypt
at the Capitol-Forestry of Mount Vernon,
Episodes of Washington's Lite-A National
Heritage.
There are few visitors to the Capital WI"
care to leave without making pilgrimage
to Mount Vernon, and it is emlnehtly mt
ting that the homes beyond the Potomac
which have become identified with the
history of the country should find a place
among the historic homes of Washington.
There is no shrine in the land toward
which so many pilgrims turn as to that OF
George Washington. There is hardly a
pleasant morning of the year but many
people step on board a steamer for SAIL
down the beautiful Potomac. Word paint
ing can convey but little idea of the beautI-
full scenery and give but glimpses OF the
banding hills, the broad anphItheater oil
space. the delicate tints and depth of color
the gold and orange and purple, where earth
and sky meet over the Virginia hills.
AS we look back upon Arlington Nights
and the beautiful curve of the dome OF the
Capitol against the snowy mass of cloud
and through the banks of pist, and the
rising, tapering shaft that commentaries
the name at whose shrine we do homage,
the steamer is hurrying us on over the IL
