Paradox Valley, just Across the Utah Line.

rich copper district, something differ
ent from anything else l can call to

ant mining section of Colorado, and
with the gold and silver values con-
nected with the copper, 1t will add very
materially to the PROFITS of operating
tile mines of the district. The veins
so far opened are mostly in the lines.
These can be seen in numerous places
in the cliffs for hundreds Of feet in
height OF course. the richer ore APP

The valley is rich in coal and salt

and the public Is hardly a factor. London has bought a few stocks on balance, but on the whole the market has represented a struggle between bull and bear specua- tive interests, in which the money market and the gold importations have been used ith some effect to influence sentiment The principal movements of the wee. however, have been in stocks like Manhattan, Sugar and few others, which have had especial manipulation. The reduction of the New York bank surplus reserves to s4,00)O00 snown by last Saturdays averages, was followed by calling off loans early this week and by 6 per cent. call money rate. his last, however, was oniy momentary, and not only were assurances given by banking authorities that conditions were being satisfactorily adjusted, but as the week progressed the fall of the exchange rates and the engagement of S6, 400, ,O0) gold in London for shipment to New York as- sisted in bringing about easier rates for call loans and q more confident feeling in regard to money.

COTTON FUTURES LOWEST MARK.
New Record for the New York Exchange
 Established Yesterday at 5.22.
From the New York Sun, Sept. 22.

From the New York Sun, Sept 22-
 During the days transactions at the cot ton exchange yesterday a new record for
 cotton futures was established. Prices
 have been declining for some time past,
 but never touching the low figures of 1S9i,
 when on November 12, the December fu-
 lures sold at 5:23 cents. At the opening of
 the market yesterday morning, several hundred bales of October cotton changed hands at 5.23. Then the price advanced suddenly and until five minutes before the close the decline was stemmed. Then liqui- dation carried the figures down to 5.24 and to 5.23. Some one in the pit then bid 5.22 for A hundred bales of October cotton and the offer was accepted. Before the c.ose another hundred was sold at the same hg- ure thus establishing the lowest price for | futures in the history of the New York cotton exchange.
 The causes operating toward this condi- | fion date back to last year, when southern nlanters raised Il, 200 900 bales of cotton, Tor which there has been but moderate de- mand. As a result some 100000 bales of | last years crop still remain avaiiapie TOT use and planters made practically no de- crease in their cotton acreage this spring. | crop of at least 10,5000 900 bales Is pre- dicted for this fall, and some estimates place the yield at last years large total. | Three months ago speculators foresaw the | coming situation and began an actively ag- | gressive campaign on the bear side Brok- ers at New Orleans, Liverpool and New Yor< have sold hundreds of thusands of bales of cotton which they did not possess, trusting to market developments to enable l them to cover their contracts at lower fig ures. For the past two weeks these shorts have been heavy buyers, but an absence of | outside speculation in cotton has Kept vrioes steadily going down. An overahun- | dsnce of cotton is generally regarded %s l responsible for the present low prices.
