sourn's BuYIxG 4 FEATURE.
New York and Liverpool BELOW Pres
cnt Prices Paid.

New York, OCT 6.-Hubbard Bros
& Co. say of cotton to-day: Our
cables inform us that Liverpool
declined to-day under realizing by
American holders and free selling
by Liverpool exporters, on The belief that
The market had reached the Top aud that
any decline would bring out large
amount of cotton held in the South by
merchants and planters Our own market
has also been the scene of enormous real
zing ana selling on apparently the same
idea that the market has reached Top.
We think fully $1,000 bales was sold by two
or three brokers alone. A feature of the
market is the strength of the demand In
the South for cotton, a feature of when
in other years has been lacking. Usually
an advance in this market is so far above
the South that cotton comes here. This
season it is not so for despite the improve
ment in values, New York aud Liverpool
are both below the prices paid In the
South. That these prices are paid is con
tirmed on every hand and strange to state,
the export, so far are some 1000 bales
ahead of last season, Notwithstanding this
strange relative condition of the market.
The selling before mentioned continued
during the afternoon, especially on Jan
market barely steady No new feature
appeared in the situation 10 cause the de-
cline, which is generally thought to be due
TO desire TO buy on a cheaper basis; these
were indications the January sales were
partly covered by purchases of later
months.
New York, Oct. 6-Murphy & Co.'S cot
ion letter says; Markets have been quieter
to-day than for some time. Liverpool was
unchanged on spots and about / point low
er on futures. This was not favorable
as we expected, and our market opened
from 4 10 points lower than yesterdays
close There was considerable covering
by longs and the market sold off about
s points, closing at the lowest figure for
the DAY Port receipts continue light. The
market VIII be somewhat easier until the
government report is issued, which Is ex-
pected to be bullish. Cotton has had a
steady advance since Sept /. aud reac-
ton Of some 20 to 30 points is expected by
a good many experienced cotton men,
Statsically, cotton is IN a strong position
and we are of the opinion that the present
prices will look cheap in short while

cation.
The matter of removing the head
offices of the Mystic Workers from
Fulton is the subject now under dis
cussion by the mem bers of that order
and the cities which are DESTROYS of
getting it.
The regular biennial meeting of the
order is to be held in March, 1900, at
which time the permanent location of
the Offices will be determined. In the
last issue OF the Mystic Worker, the
official organ of the lodge, it is an
nounced that the supreme board of
directors, at its last meeting, voted
that the committee on location, elected
by the supreme lodge at it's last bien-
NAL session, be instructed to insert a
notice to all cities wishing to submit
offers for the permanent location of
the head offices, to submit them to
this committee, naming the time and
place of reception thereof, and that
said notice be inserted in the Mystic
Worker for four months, beginning
Novem Der, 1899.
The Mystic Workers of the World is
a rapidly growing order 1t has
doubled its mem bership every year
since II was organized. The head OIL
ces, while they are not of much mo-
mentions Importance just at present,
are going to be big thing, and well
worth having
Rocl; Island has just as good show
of getting the order to locate here as
any other town, and if the proper
hustle is shown right away we may
get the plum. A number of cities are
bidding for the offices. Fulton, it is
understood, will make 4 hard fight to
retain the orders headquarters. 1t is
hoped she will profit by the lesson she
was taught in the re cent unpleasant
ness in which the Modern Woodmen
aud Rock Island were implicated, and
submit gracefully to the will of the
Mystic Workers in the choice of a per-
manent home.
