LETTERS on COTTON.

New York, Oct. 30-Hubbard Bros &
Co say of cotton to-day: Our private ad-
vices from Liverpool state that the spin
ners are becoming uneasy over the con-
tnued light movement of the crop, and
unless it increases. will bug freely. The
official dispatches. however, are not quite
optimistic, that market closing quiet at
barely 2-64th advance from Saturday. Our
market after opening with a firm under
tone became weaker on the heavy sell
ing for European account, which was es-
pocially marked on the summer positions
In the nearby positions the tone was de-
cidedy steady, as the foreign short inter
est in those deliveries do not like our de
creasing stock with ltlfe chance of any
cotton coming here until the southern mar
kets ease. our spinners are buying here
for immediate shipment to their mills, an
unheard of cond ton at this season of the
year.

encouraging by the bulls. Spot sales of TO-
900 bales at an advance Of l-32 to 1920

three-sixty- fourths up. Our market opened
sac points above Saturdays close, but lost
it cary On selling by longs. When the de-
cline reached 5 points new buying APP
peared and the market advanced to the
opening figures and closed al about the
best price for the day. The receipts at the

The Dung Attorney "SEuck 10 Aue

From the New York Press.
The Tanderbnts have taken excellent
care of Dr. Chauncey NJ. Depew, and in
the versatile Senator the family has had a
faithful friend. The legacy of 100000 left
by Cornelius is merely a small token of
Appreciation Some persons said when
Mr.. Galloway was made president of the
New York Central that Depew had been
shelved They regarded has appointment
TO the craftsmanship of the board as re-
trement rather than a promotion But
they forgot that it enabled him to devote
more time to personal politics and rendered
it easier for him to achieve the object of
his ambition--a seat ia the United States
Senate. MI Depew no longer harbors in
his tile the presidential bee He is hap
pier than when he listened to its buzzing.
He has all the money that a man should
desire and is famous in more ways than
one He has accomplished much.
In the latest issue of the Daily BOND
BUYER our Old friend Mr.. w. F. G. Shanks,
recalls an incident of 1865 which had much
TO do with the career of DR.. Depew. Pres
ident Andrew Johnson had rendered the
COllectOrship of the Port OF New NOTk to
the then ambitious young attorney of the
New York Central and the latter asked
Commodore Vanderbilt's advice about ac-
cepting it. Decline it," said Cornelius I.
Stick to the Central and you may yet be
president of it at a salary greater than
that of the President of the United
States" The salary of our Chief EXecu-
tive at that time was $4,000. Accepting
the advice Depew declined one of the
richest pums of politics, and. as the world
knows, eventually did become president of
the Central road double the length of that
which the Commodore developed, and
chairman Of a board directing the affairs
of Il combination of roads of which even
the sanguine first Cornelius never dreamed.
His salary was twice that of the President
of the United States.
Though Mr.. Shanks does not mention it,
ranged the meeting which took place be-
tween President Johnsons messenger and
Mfr. Depew. The messenger was none
other than Col. Lowell II. Rosseau. The
affair was conducted with the strictest
privacy, and the two gentlemen sat up all
night in Shanks' house discussing the
proposition. Rosseau afterward said that
Depew's declination made Johnson fur
