THE RICE MARKET.

Dan Talmage's Sons Company say of
rice: Unbroken activity has maintained
throughout the week, all styles and goods
commanding their due share of patronage.
Spot stocks continue light; nearly all do
nestle and foreign finding sale before or
promptly after arrival. Advices from the
South note further widening of demand
and as the movement of crop 10 milling
centers barely keeps pace Herewith. mark
ed firmness Is apparent in every quar-
ter. Since the crop opening there has
been a happy conjunction of circumstances
favoring the planter. and as the country
al large is still without its normal supply
of siock. the prospects are favorable for a
continuance of present and perhaps higher
rates for some time TO come.
During the week there has been an APP
pfeciable advance in rough and cleaned az
New Orleans and in the Carolinas. The
advent OF the greater crop in South west
Louisiana had been expected 10 bring
about lower prices, but as usual the turn
out in that locality is largely red, and
those who have first quality rough have
caught quickly on 10 the fact, that even

LETTERS on COTTON.

New York, oct. 12.-Hubbard Bros
& co. say of cotton to-day: AN
increase in the demand for SPOTS
in Liverpool came from the con-
tinentaf not the English spinners, and
il was their buying after the close of bust
ness yesterday and to-day which has
steadied this market. Holders of the stock
were hedged in this market and il was
their purchases which absorbed the weak
cotton which was sold on both days. The
movement of the crop was upon such a
small scale that although all thought it
due to the holding in the interior al
the smaller interior towns, il was certainly
not encouraging for decline.
Trading has been upon a quieter scale
than for some time, and a little less con-
fdence was shown by the bulls, until Liv-
eFpool appeared as a buyer. Foreign adj
vices Were so Disappointing this morning
| that undoubtedly some long cotton was
! sold during the morning.
Realizing by disappointed holders con-
tinued during the afternoon and the close
was barely steady with the traders short

Murray Law Amendment

Topeka, February e1,--The temper
ance committee Of the house, Poison
chairman, Monday introduced bill
amending the Murray liquor law. The
present law fixes the penalty for the
first offense at $100 fine and thirty
days in jail. The proposed Law
knocks OFF the imprisonment, but re.
quires the person convicted to give
bond in sum to be fixed by the court
as guaranty that he will not engage
in the liquor business again. The
present law also provides that per
son convicted OF second offense can
be sent to the penitentiary. The Pol
son bill Abolishes the felony feature
and fixes the penalty at not less than
ninety dsys 10 jail.
The original law provides that
county attorneys can summon persont
before them for the purpose Of secur
ing evidence ON which to base com
plsints against jointists. This was de-
clareA unconstitutional by the courts
because II vested judicial powers in
the county attorney. The bill intro
