SINCE the proposition to establish {
mining exchange here was given pub
licity through the HERALD news has
come from Albuquerque of the opening
there of the ''New Mexico bureau o
information and miners exchange
The bureau is started by two men fol
private gain purely, and they ask the
full cooperation of the mining men Of
the territory in making their enter
prise a success, alleging that many in.
tending investors are from time to time
turned away from the territory because
there is at present no place where they
can go and get in short time a COM
prehensive idea of the mining openings
and prospects, the various mining fields
and the chance for capital. These men
have recognized the great need for
such bureau of information. They
state the objects of the institution as
follows:
'tFirst-The establishment and main
tenance of bureau where complete
records will be kept of the various min
ing districts of this territory and OF in
dividual mines.
"Second-The collection and main
tenance of an exhibit of all ores to be
found in this section, which will at all
times be open to inspection.
"Third-The listing of properties
which are on the market and the bring
ing together of buyer and seller.
-'F'ourth-The monthly publication
of q journal devoted exclusively to the
In which will be regularly printed all
news of interest concerning the pro-
gress OF each camp; also latest quota
tions OF the metal market"
Now of course the ''listing" referred to
will not have any of the characteristics
or the weight of q "listing' on q reg
ularly constituted exchange. The list
will be merely q trade list of mines and
prospects..for sale. It is aot to be ex-
peoted that there will be listing of
stocks of the better classes. With all
credit to the men who have discerned
q good opening and have set about to
supply the want, it must be said that
the need for a mining exchange in this
city, to rank with those
of Denver and Colorado Springs,
Is as much necessity as ever,
and the territory of New Mexico would
through it be perhaps the greatest
beneficiary. New Mexico, Arizona,
and old Mexico will be the chief par
Elephants, while of course in time all
the leading mining stocks of the coun.
try, particularly of the southwest,
would be listed and dealt in on the ex-
change. 1t will readily be seen that a
mining exchange regularly organized
would fulfil all the functions of such
bureau of Information as has been
started in Albuquerque. and in addi-
ton would in the course of time make
this city one of the leading financial
centers of the west.

WHEN it is go easy to get divorce on

Washington Correspondent Chicago Post.
The lessons taught by the Manila cor
respondents Ground robin" are: Fire
That war is grim and murderous a.
best, is particularly grim and bloody OF
the island OF LuzOn, or at least that II
appears to be so to the correspondents.
Second-That the campaign Is not be-
ing conducted to the satisfaction O,
"Bobbie" Collins, "Dick" Little, Oscar
Davis and the other correspondents
dispatched to the scene to send tc
various newspapers reports OF the pro-
gress of the war. Third-That the
realize the difference between report
ing picnic or q baseball match and a
military campaign.
They have been accustomed to the
widest liberty in writing "stories" for
their papers and to producing enough
matter to make good showings. To be
held down to q bare recital of facts
when they are being maintained 10000
miles from home at enormous expense
Is trying experience, Is it not pos
sible that their ''round robin" is more
in the nature of joint letter to their
managing editors squaring themselves,
and explaining why they have not been
able to give better showing for their
money than it Is serious criticism of
the war or of General Otis? War cor
respondents everywhere have been held
down to the rigid rules that govern
military camps whenever in the judg-
ment of the commanding general eau
ton should be exercised in the trans
mission of reports from the field. The
Manila correspondents are passing
through no unusual experience in hav-
ing their stuff blue-penciled by mill
tary censor.
The only unusual feature about the
affair is the "fresh" and amateurish
production OF the correspondents,
which they designate as ''round
robin" If nothing serious comes of it
Ito the correspondence they will in
after years look back with wonder at
the consideration with which they
were treated by the commanding gen
eral, whose hospitality and tolerance
they so grossly outraged in giving to
the world'a Communication tn at should
have been sent if sent at ally to their
home offices under seal of confidence.
At latest accounts President Nc
Kinley had not turned over the COM
mand Of the American troops in the
Philippines to Collins and his asso-
ciates. General Otis will remain in
charge for few days. 1t is not too
late for him to retrieve himself in the
estimation of the Ground robins"

The Ladies' birthday Almanac.

The Ladies' Birthday Almanac for 1900
Is being distributed in our city this week.
This publication is SO different from the
ordinary cheap patent medicine almanac,
that ii has become very popular, and now
has a circulation of 100000 copies, an
nually. Astronomer Bradford's accurate
calculations showing the time the sun
rises and sets. moons phases, eclipses,
ETC., Devoe's celebrated weather forecasts
for every day in the year, indicated by a
UNIQUE system of patent weather signals,
practical garden and farm hints for each
month and birthday proverbs for every
day, are among the best features. All
holidays and fixed and movable festivals
are prominently shown. In fact the edl-
tor of this little almanac, who we under
stand is a successful newspaper man OF
long experience, has given the public a
book that will be found valuable in any
home. Our readers who have not received
a CODY of the 1900 edition, can get it of
their merchant, or by sending their ad-
dress to the Ladies' Birthday Almanac,

lower on spots and 2-e4d on futures. but
as this was much better than looked for,
our market opened to to 10 points above
close. Values advanced further on news
of general buying and showed 10 points
over last night. The receipts are consid-
cred small and Southern markets do not
show the weakness that might have been
expected with yesterdays break, though
some claim that offerings from South
are freer. The afternoon session, with es-
timated receipts for New Orleans and
Houston light, was very steady and prices
advanced some to 5 points. on good buy
ing for local, European and Southern
account. The stock market being much
steadier, also had some effect on this

SOUTHERN MARKETS HOLD UP
BREAKS IN COTTON HARDLY FELT
IN THE INTERIOR.

While There Is IA Slight Increase In
the Offerings, the Better Opinion

Savannah. Dec 19.-While 1t was report
ed that in some districts of the cotton belt
offerings of cotton were larger than for
several days previous, 1t is nevertheless
fact that the Southern markets have
stood up well in the face of the breaks
in New York and Liverpool. The current
belief is that the short crop is a stronger
factor than war news and that 1t will
control the situation. The belief that cot
ton will reach cents has not been shaken
apparently by the foreign conditions
which have caused the slump in values
in New York. The local market remained
quiet and easy to-day. though there were
no transactions reported. Naval stores
were in good demand at quotations. and
while there was not much trading done
during the early hours, business during
the afternoon moved along briskly. The
wholesale branches were mainly unchang-
ed. Produce continues firm and unchang-
ed. The following resume Of the different
markets will show the tone and quota

STOCKS AND BoNDs.

New York, Dec. 19-The concerted meas

ests IN the country proved effective to-day
IN checking the progress towards pan
ana collapse in the stock market Support
ing orders were distributed all through
the list at the opening and prices were adj
Yanced in an effort to restore confidence.
But liquidation continued on very heavy
scale and drove prices lower again after
the opening. The advance in the Bank
OF Germauy's officials discount rate from
D 10 Der cent. and the hardening OF the
private discount rate in London with re-
ports from that center of further engage
ments OF gold from New York for ships

dence. Prices ebbed and flowed between
reaction and recovery many times before
the flood OF liquidation had been finally

resources TO accommodate the demand for
loans, the determination OF the Secretary
OF the Treasury 10 largely increase gov

the acute needs developed yesterday all

since yesterday in itself helped to quiet
