COTTON DECLINES FURTHER.
NeiITs Circular and other Causes
Given for the Drop.


New York. Oct 1.-THE price Of cotton
reached a much lower level in the market
this morning but subsequently rail- "a and
closed within five points of last nights
figures. Considering the action Of our mar
ket yesterday, Liverpool to-day showed
weakness, variously accounted for by pri-
vate cables. one report had it that Neil s
crop circular and the warllke attitude of
England and the Beers had forced holders
TO unload. and induced general short SELL
ing abroad. Another source claimed lead
ing bears on this side had sent over large
selling orders and these, combined with
heavy pressure from bear circles in Liv-
erpool, had brought about the heavy de-
cline.
our market orenod 8 to points under
last night and continued to decline most
of the forenoon. January at one time SELL
ing al cole and May at 70Jc. Shorts a.
tackled the market vigorously and enor-
nous amounts of long stun were forced
overheard by the outside public and even
a number of room bulls sold out IA goolly
portion OF their holdings.
For while excitement was at fever heat
and nobody seemed 10 have the faintest
idea as to where the selling movement
would carry prices. Shortly, after midday.
prices were soon rapidly advancing, Jan
uary reaching 7.0ic. Supported by official
estimates for ano her light movement at
the ports tomorrow and a batch Of bulllsh
crop and other information from the cot
ton belt, the market stubbOrnly resisted
further pressure. A number Of aunch out
side houses sent in large buying orders
with the result that shorts were soon
scrambling 10 cover.
At the close the market was very steady
with prices one point higher 10 five net
lower.

stock from the range, which for the past
two years have been greatly oVerstocked
Inns grew out Of an experiment made by
". l.. Graham of Grahamsvllle, who
found that by driving his cattle out of the
hatwoods onto the prairie range bordering
Biz Lake George during the early summer,
and returning them to their home range
IN the early spring, his cattle escaped
much sickness that for number of years
had been causing considerable trouble
Ihs has been followed by the advent of
numerous herds, until, for the past two
winters numbers of cattle owned bv
stockmen at Spring Grove have been fore
ed TO enter upon the winter in a condition
lar TOO poor 10 survive until the spring
opened, the prairie in many places having
been srazed almost bare. This led. first
to request upon the part of stockmen
here for others to withdraw their herds,
ana was met by fiat refusal, which has
caused some excitement and the dispute.

the task easier. When he reached
the ground he stepped on a black water
moccasin, which bit him on the inside of
the right heel. His brother Paul. imme-
diately ligatured the ankle, gave him tur-
pentne and sucked all the poison he could
extract, after charging the wound with
his knife. This was about noon, and 1t
required the whole afternoon TO reach an
Indian camp few yards distant. through
the labyrinths of the gIades, where doe

fused them admission to the camp or to
give them any remedy for the bite, and
they were forced to sleep in their open

was the attracting feature OF the local
market to-day. the price jumping to soc.
which it has not reached since March Of
1889. when the market was quoted for
period of four days at ole. The improve

When the price last reached SOC, which
was in March of 1899, conditions were not
the same as at present. and the turn the
market took shortly after this price was
attained will not probably be repeated at
present. The advance then was what
might be termed short and sweet The
price held four days from March y at
5lc, then went off TO soc, and after this
slumped to 3Sc. In the present instance
the market is believed to be supported by
conditions which will hold prices at q good

ion is that the top notch of the present
upward tendency has not yet been real

expectations.

New York. oct 1.-THE stock market
fell Hat again to-day The dulness was
made evident that yesterdays upward
squirt was due almost entirely to covering
by shorts who to-day were inclined 10
regret their preclpitancy. The warlike
situation between England and the Trans
vaal was almost without effect In fact,
the London market seemed to feel rather
encouraged than otherwise over the termi-
nation Of The uncertainty and operators
there inclined to bid Up the prices Of some
Of the American stocks ia sympathy with
the advance of the KafIir stocks The
rise was short lived on this side and tho
dragging tendency OF price was not much
changed at any time until the close Of the
market at prices below last nights level
al around.
The money market was distinctly easier.
The causes of this were quite apart from
the action OF the treasury department in
offering to anticipate the government In
terest payments for the remainder OF the
fiscal year. For one thing the subtreasury
figured at the clearing house again to-day
as q debtor for over million. Govern
ment disbursements are running quite
heavy. due IN large part to pension pay
ments. There was sum Of gold received
from Havana to-day on account OF postal
revenues and a small additional shipment
or French gold was received The rate

amount Of loans at TO per cent and

Not so cheerful a view was taken of the
effect Of the treasury departments action
with regard TO anticipated interest. I'm
der the terms of the department order the
amount Of interest TO be paid out this
week Ia only about 81 100000 and that not
until Friday or course, only part Of II

shows that small part of the holders are
likely to present their claims on that day.
The next disbursement comes on Oct q.
