Taibott & PaImer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, September S.-The course of prices today was unusually and abnormally irregular. Rapid declines and quick re- coveries followed each other, and esti- mates of the days tone had to be constant ly revised up to the close. As was to be expected, the chief matters of discussion were threatening situation in Africa and apprehension of distressing stringency in the money market. The first was reflected in material declines in American stocks in London and in fact heavy sales here by foreign houses. The influence of the money market situation, in turn. was reflected in diminished activity and there seemed to be little actual liquidation directly on that account. Standard railways moved with a good deal of uniformity throughout the day but within narrow limits Most pro- nounced movements were in local traction, Tennessee Coal and Iron. c. F. l., and Consolidated Gas. These moved through an uncommonly wide range with practical ly nothing new that was definite attending their fluctuations. A good deal of interest is being taken in Wall street over certain railroad developments in the south, which promise before long to engage a greater amount of attention. It is generally known that in the early part of the year the con- trol of the various roads embraced in the Seaboard Air Line system was acquired by syndicate of ambitious young financiers who were practically unknown. The trans actions would have been unimportant ex- cept that following upon the original pur- chase the syndicate has acquired various other lines, including the Florida Central and Peninsula and Georgia and Alabama It IS the purpose to make further eXten- sions The means of the syndicate. how ever. are limited. and they have been forced to call on local financial interests. In the afternoon Pacific Mail was sold freely by the traders on the company's heavy loss of earnings reported for July. The market closed dull and irregular, but generally firm.

Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt.
 The cotton market today was generally in the hands of the bears; the early part of the session showed strength reports of rains at only two points and they were not where most needed, nevertheless these reports brought out some new selling. The softness of the market later was due to the fact that rains were general over the cotton belt consequently after January cotton opening at 6.21 and selling as high as 6.22 receded to 614 and closed at 6.13, with the tone of the market quiet and steady. The market at present looks more favorable for better prices than it has for the past six weeks. The receipts were estt- mated at g GOO for New Orleans tomorrow, against about 15000 last year. but this should not have any great bearing upon the market. as it seems to have been dis counted today.

DECLINE IN THE T
 COTTON MARKET English Did Not Respond ito the Advance of Yesterday. SEVERAL RALLIES OCCURRED Exporters and American Spinners Were Buyers in the South-Close Was
 Easy At Net Loss of 9
 to 13 Points
SEVERAL RALLIES OCCURRED

New York, September S.-The cotton market opened steady al a decline of 4@5 points and further declined 5G7 points un- der some general selling, so far as the future list was concerned, although it was understood that exporters and American spinners were buyers in the southern spot markets, thus weakening the force to some extent at least, of bearlsh cables and large receipts.
 The early weakness was increased by the fact that the English market did not re- spond to our advance of yesterday. Several times the market rallied. but appeared to lack inherent energy and was finally left to itself by the local bulls and became very quiet. During the afternoon there was some irregularity in conflicting accounts as to the crop outlook and the prospective movement.
 The market was finally easy at net loss of 9 to 13 points, the lowest level of the day.

BALLARD ESTATE.
Lawyers Reach Agreement on Some
of the Points at Issue.

The following from the Council Bluffs
Nonpariel will interest Audubon county
readers:
The attorneys for ali tho interested
parties IN the Ballard estate were IN the
city yesterday for the purpose Of making
hnal settlement and ending the litiga-
ton that has been IN progress III the
courts for Il long time. ',he attorney i
were Judge f. Willard, ot Atlantic, rep
resenting the O. IL. Bal ana heirs aud
Mrs. Martin; Roscoe Barton, of Avoca,
who represented Peter Howell aud the
Robinson heirs with the exception OF
Mrs. Martin; benjamin a Preston who
are looking after the interests OF A..
Hoogewouing and some Of the Robin
sons, and Theo. +. Myers, Of Audubon.
Conferences were held between these
attorneys and N. NJ Pussy, executor of
the estate, and an agreement reached
that effected Il settlement Of all the suits
with the exception of the two actions
that have been commenced in the Au-
dubon district court and the suit insti
tuted 10y the Robinson heirs to set aside
the trust deed to the homestead property
In this city, decided in trust TO the W.
Z. A. hospital. Late in the afternoon
Judge Smith was called into chambers
to make the necessary DEGREES. BY the
terms of tho agreement the heirs with
draw the case against W. III. Nj Pusey,
trustee, and wave their right OF appeal
from the decision of Judge Macy, aud
the decree of Judge Smith orders him 10
pay over to the executor the sum of
$4,000 held in trust in accordance with
the provisions of the will OF Sarah j.

stituted in the Audubon court involve
the claim Of the heirs that Mrs. Ballard
had dover interest in the land in that
country approximating 5000 acres aud
the waiver Of this claim in the agree
ment yesterday practically settles the
chief contention in these suits
