COTTON.
New York, Sept 23.-The cotton mark
Jet made firm start with prices to
points lower in the near months, under
disappointing cables Qatter attributed to
manipulation from this side), while the
distant months showed a rise of to
5 points on every heavy buying from all
sources led by disgruntled shorts.
Throughout the morning trading was
very heavy and excitement at fever heat.
Profit taking at times temporarily de-
pressed the market, but a reaction was
inevitable as a steady stream of buying
orders poured in from the South and
abroad Wall Street brokers executed
a number of large buying orders, said to
be for the account of strong houses.
The chief incentive of the bull faction
was the small crop movement. Reports
that spot cotton in the South was rapid
" advancing on undated demand from
exporters aided in supporting the mark
ct here. Shorts were kept in nervous
state from the opening to the close by
bad crop news and talk of seven cent
cotton from the bull crowd.
The market for futures closed firm

to date she has not accomplished it in her
own state, although various western states
have women suffrage. Miss Anthony in
her speech told of the progress of this
movement in the United States, and also
showed herself remarkably conversant with
woman suffrage in England, for woman
suffrage here, too, is gaining ground.
Susan B. Anthony has never married.
she has never had love affair." In 1898 she
spondent of this paper in New York city,
that she would like to marry him. Mr..
Ryman replied that she could count upon
him. neither he nor she having any encum-
brances. "Then," said Miss Anthony, you
must ask me properly"
Teach me-" said Mr.. Ryman.
ASK me to marry you as a helpmate-
don't tell me that you love me, but say you
want woman to be youi counsel and as
sistant. Assure me that you are in need of
a fellow worker-that you want me to be
your equal"
Mr.. Ryman did his best to fill the speci-
hcations but the match fell through. Miss
Anthony was not satisfied. The tale serves
to show the woman's suffrage argument
against marriage as it now exists.
Miss Anthony is being entertained by all
the lords and ladies of the United Kingdom
She dimes with Lady Somerset stops over
night with the Countess of Aberdeen and
breakfasts with her; she lunches next day
with the Duchess of Sutherland and threat
ems every day to call upon the Princess of
Wales, who is really very anxious to see
our dear old lady suffragist.

for she is more convincing now than she
was in holder days She said, when she left
America, that she hoped to have as inter-
esting trip as that in 1888, but preferred
a less exciting one.
There are a great many questions asked
about Miss Anthony here, for she repre-
sents an American type quite unknown in
England They find it hard to believe from
her neat figure that she was born in 1870.
and has crossed the line in her eightieth
year; If their own Queen Victoria could be
so smart they would be so thankful!
Miss Anthony, after quiet childhood in
Massachusetts, as the daughter of wealthy
parents. began to teach school as New
England girls did in those days, for the
country was young and there were
idlers. Miss Anthony taught from the age
OF Is until she was 80; and then she began
her political work in Albany by addressing
meetings upon the subject of temperance
and woman suffrage. The latter point was
taken up quietly, for 1t was very unpopular
then.
In 1887 Miss Anthony Joined hands with
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and, as Miss An
thony told the writer I'VE Travelled all
over the country lecturing. I planned the
trip, attended to the business end of the
concern and wrote the speeches. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton delivered the speeches. She
used much force while speaking that
she was completely tired out. and had to
manage everything. She was at one time
a marvellous speaker and will be known in
history the woman orator of the nine
teenth century," Later Miss Anthony join

suffrage for women had been put to the au-
dience it would have been carried almost
to woman, and certainly to man; for
the few men who were present were de-
cidedly women suffragists.
The audience unconsciously gave Miss
Anthony the chataqua salute, for it is after
all, the prettiest way woman can show
her applause, by the futtering-ef handker-
chiefs. 1t is much moro dignifed than the
hand clapping and stamping of men. .
The London papers are going wild over
Miss Anthony, declaring her to be the most
unaggressive woman suffragist they ever
saw. They are accustomed to the bfur-
Gated, loud voiced, strident women of the
stump, and therefore Miss Anthonys slim
figure, severe face, and smoothly banded
hair was an innovation. She is much like
ones grandmother that one can imagine
her singing among the angel choir without
discord, even though her present voice were
retained in the hereafter.
Miss Anthony has visited Europe only
once before, the occasion being her trip to
Germany sixteen years ago. She was at the
time only a girl of sixty-three years old
and was full of fight. AS soon as she was

ed forces with Lucy Stone. and the trio at
tended to the matter of woman's suffrage
for all the women of the United States,
but for twenty years they had few follow
erS.
In 1850 Miss Anthony added abolition to
her cause and became one of the women
abolitionists of the day, a firm supporter of
Lincoln and an aggressive protector of the
civil war. Like Lincoln, Miss Anthony had
little diplomacy at that time and while she
was right in her views according to the
north-just as the martyr presidents Was
right-neither she nor he knew how to car
ry a point without bloodshed. And shed
blood they did.
In 1860, while the coming war Was still On
