The town OF La Junta consumed
over IS, 900, 900 gallons Of water
during the month OF August, or an
average of nearly 1000 gallons
per month for every man, woman
and child in the town. August was
the first month in the history of the
town that an official record had been
kept of the amount Of water con-
sumed, and the figures are simply
amazing, almost past belief. The
revolution counter at the pump
house enables the bumpers to keep
an accurate record Of the amount
of water pumped, and somebody
has used it. 1t is evident that a
large amount of water is being
wastedevery day in some manner,
and it would be good idea for the
city council to investigate the metre
system, which is being introduced
in . number of towns in Colorado
at the present time, with view of
introducing it in La Junta. In no
other way will it be possible to en-
force economy in the consumption
Of water.

Story of a Postage Stamp

Tn the year of 1851 a 12-penny black Cana dian postage stamp was printed by the gov ment of Ottawa, says the Outlook. The public did not regard this somber issue with favor, so few were issued. One or these stamps was sent to the Hamilton postoffice where it was sold to an old gentleman, who said it was shame to print the queens picture on stamp that might be handled by profane hands Ten derly the gentleman put 1t on parcel sending it to friend in the United States Here in the waste basket, it lay for many a day. till an erpand boy found 1t, and ouckly transferred it to his album. Des- pairing of getting good collection, and his fever somewhat abating, he sold them to dealer. The new owner on looking at the catalogue found that what he had paid $5 for was worth $25. Accordingly this stamp was slipped into a 27-cent packet, and sent to dealer residing in Hamilton When the latter opened the packet ne was astonished ito find such a valuable stamp, and being honest, wrote his friend to in- form him of what had happened. offering him S1 200 for 1t. The offer was accepted and the stamp again changed hands. By this time the stamp had increased In value and not a few came from distance to look at the treasure. One day an Englsh nobleman who, through a Canadian friend, had heard of the stamp, offered Sl, ,ooo, which offer was accepted. The English lord falling in love with an American heiress, and wishing to gain the favor of her bro ther, presented him with the stamp as a token of his esteem. Here in its new and luxurious American home, it came to a bad end, for one day the maid, by mistake, swept the esstamp, which had accidentally fallen out of the album into the fire In an instant the stamp which thousands had heard of and longed for went up in smoke to the broad blue sky, leaving not trace behind.

 New York, October 9-The dealings in todays stock market were in very light volume and with the exception of few special stocks the changes were limited in extent At the opening business sentiment was favorably affected by the appearance of the firmness In London. So far as the actual news was concerned there appeared to be no definite change in tho South Afri- can situation, but on the other hand the general strength of the London stock mar ket and the decline in discount there were naturally construed as refiecting a slight change for the better in the general out look The dealings here for foreign ac- count on balance were exceedingly small, but the temporary removal Of dlsquletlng influence was at least effective in the man. her noted. As was to have been expected after the disclosure of the condition Of the banks in Saturdays statement the money market continued fair to the close, with the bulk of the loans an call made at rom 8 to 10 per cent. Conspicuous features or the days market were the industrials based upon the steel industry. American Steel and Wire and Federal Steel were partlcu- larly strong and active The advance in this quarter seemed to be based chiefly up- on the fact that the approaching close or the companies fiscal year will clear the way for the beginning of payments upon the common stock. As regards Federal Steel it is understood that by December the full dividend of per cent. upon tne preferred stock will have been paid, ana 1t is likely that in the same month dlVl- dend on common also.

Busi- ness in England is considered good, and in Germany very good. Therefore 1t will re- quire a crop of eleven million to prevent us drawing on the surplus of September l.

TaIbott & Palmer's Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from L. De Gumoens &
 Son.
 New York October 9.-In the matter of actual facts respecting the crop and de- mand there has been an absence of any, thing new of late and we have conse- quently witnessed sharp advances and de- clines just had been expected. Much has been coming in tending to show the cor rectness of low crop estimates and next to nothing to indicate an improvement. h. dependent of all general reports of farmers holding their cotton, the situation appears to be quite bulish. The temper at Liver pool is gradually veering to that prevailing in this country. The bureau report to- morrow is expected to read quite bullsh and some are predicting the worst October condition on record An advance of points at Liverpool stunned the bear crowd, this morning The local market advanced 5 to 10 points for the early sales. This was called rather tame, but was undoubtedly sufficient in view of the fact that Liverpool had lost 6 points Saturday. Buying at Liverpool by recent American sellers was reported. New York was rather dropping after the opening and the uncertain feeling in the trade was shown by the buying and selling orders of almost equal volume. The weather south was good and tempera- lures seasonable. It is believed that de- velopments would prove without striking feature before the bureau report appeared and the talk was very poor average con dition for the crop. Cables closed z to 8 higher for futures and 3-32d higher, for spots Receipts were regarded as being quite full. Sentiment on the close, was rather mixed.

 New Orleans, October 9.-Today's Liver pool advance of S-64d in futures and 3-32d in spots sales of which were 5000 bales, seemed to have satisfied the American bulls for the moment. New Orleans open ed with January at BAT points higher than Saturdays close. There was little out side buying at the advance in the early morning and longs were notable sellers throughout the day, prices in consequence lost 8 points of the improvement, January selling at 6.S6. While tomorrows bureau is looked forward to with much interest, still there is visible some uncertainty lest 1t be less bullish than generally expected. We look for the bureau to be about co against 7b.4 last year; 70 the year before,

INITIAL SALES SHOW A RISE

New York. October 9-1rle cotton mar ket, at the best prices of the day, showed gain of 7010 points, this near the open ing but later became weak, easing off to considerably below the finish at figures of Saturday.
 Much frmer cables than had been looked for sent local shorts into a spasm and
 caused active buying at the start. Iniaial sales showed a rise of to 10 points, which
 was well sustained during the early mo-
 ments Confident bulls slipped up tine bears
 on the idea that current prices were still
 too low, considering these influences. The
 morning wore along and it became evident
 that there were more sellers than buyers,
 and prices gradually melted away under steadily growing liquidation. Contributing influences to the desire to reduce commitments were estimates for an enlarged receipt. For the rest of the day the general trend of prices was downward, though consistent buying on the decline prevented any scramble to unload. The
 later cables from Liverpool proved as dis
 tinctly against the market earlier ad- vices favored it. Some of the large Wall street commission houses were large sellers
 on the reaction. 1ne market closed steady, Wuth prices D to points net lower.

President Dale. of the Guthrie club. Issues
Card to the Public.
To THE PUBLIC AT a meeting OF
number OF the citizens interested in
the welfare Of Guthrie, at the rooms
OF the Commercial Club, last evening,
IL was thought best to raise a fund to
the amount OF s. 500 for the purpose
OF furthering the railway interests OF
the city OF Guthrie. After full dis
cussion Of the best method to be
adopted at this time, it was concluded
that a com mittee Of i've persons should
be appointed to circulate subscription
papers for the SUN desired. The per-
sons subscribing to this fund will, be-
fore any of the same is expended meet
and select a committee Of five persons,
whose duty il shall be to determine
the manner of the expenditure Of this
money.
1t was thought that we could, by the
use of small sum Of money in the
payment of necessary expenses, in
terest railways contemplating the con-
struction of roads into Oklahoma in
our city, and secure the early construc-
ton OF railways to this point. In
order to meet the necessary expenses
it will, we think, require the sum
above named, and IL is earnestly hoped
that the citizens OF this city will re-
spond cheerfully and promptly to this
request in order that we may place
this city in proper attitude with com
panies which are seeking suitable loca.
tions for the construction Of railways
into Oklahoma.
l take this means of advising the
people of this city who were unable to
be present last evening of the action
taken. Very especially,
