respected One Of my customers asked
me this morning what ! thought about

about cotton than ne does, for he never
bought q bale in his life
Now, I don't want to be rich just tc

Of these pitiful appeals that | receive
almost every day. They make ne
heart sick and I can't do anything.
About half the letters l receive ask for
something that l cannot supply. They
want to know the missing word and
half the reward if / will tell it to them.
And then these cham letters come
almost every day and they expect me
to send some money and make three
copies and send to three of ny friends
and pay postage all round. Aud some
of my young friends want compost
tons or points for a debate about the
Philippines Or the Cuban war, And
some ambitious young people send me
a lot OF poetry to be criticised. They
are afraid of Frank Stanton. Well, OF
of course, all these letters are written
with good intent and some of them
have a stamp inclosed, but they are a
white mans burden and [ cannot do
justice to them. As for autographs, |
send them with pleasure, for ii is an
easy task. l wonder if ''Uncle Remus''
has a similar experience. Nevertheless,
| am still calm and creme. Bill Arp

ANXIETY ABOUT MONEY.
Is the Dominant Feeling In the
Stock Market
DAYS BUSINESS LIGHT
Close Weak and Lower, With
a Few Exceptions.

New York, Aug. S-There was not much
doing In the stock market today. The
half-holiday on Saturday takes away
many active operators on holiday trips.
The London exchange was closed and will
be again On Monday. thus substracting
an appreciable factor in the usual activity.
Nevertheless the days dealings show q
fairly accurate reflection Of speculative
opinion In general conditions. There was
some disposition to advance prices in the
early dealings on account of the Uniform
~ favorable reports Of business in all
branches contained In the weekly reports
Of commercial agencies But this very
condition is a factor in the anxiety over
the money outlook. which again domin-
ated sentiment as the time approached
for the publication Of the weekly bank
statement. when It appeared, was agin
weak beyond all expectation With forced
liquidation IN progress at some points In
Europe. and with a possible demand for
money to move the crops. the statement
brought selling Of stocks and a general
sharp decline. St Paul and Omaha. Pitts
burg Chicago Cincinatti and ST. Louis.
and Kansas City. Pittsburg and Gulf. rose
from IA TO 81. American smelling and
American car preferred showed some signs
of strength. Otherwise the market clos
ed weak and lower all around, closing
