COTTON MARKET
FAIRLY ACTIVE
On Account of Holidays Men,
befs Were Cautious.
CLOSED WITH A DECLINE
Small Receipts at the Ports and the
Interior, Together With Strong
Advice from South, Added
to the Conservatism

New York, December 21-The cotton mar
ket was fairly active today, but the ap-
preaching holidays led to caution.
Evening-up accounts was preferred to
making new ventures. The extreme range
of prices was a matter of points. The
caution of traders was increased by I'M
satisfactory reports from Wall steel. After
opening barely steady at a decline of to
points following disappointing cables,
which showed "a subsiding business at
liverpool and a decline of to points
in futures, the course of our market was
irregular There was some petty heavy
buying by certain house with important
Boston, Philadelphia and Liverpool con-
nectons which checked the early decline
This firm bought from thirty to thirty-five
thousand blles of February and March.
Small undoing of "sdraddles with Liver
pool, where an equal amount of selling
occurred, explained the unexpected weak
ness of the English market. Small re-
celpts at the ports and interior, together
with strong advices from the southern spot
markets and the strong foreign statistical
position added to tle conservatism of SELL
ers IN the afternoon.
Inc market closed quiet at a net decline
OF to points.

WEAKNESS SHOWN
AMONG THE STOCKS
Trade Was the Smallest of the
Entire Week.
TONE WAS QUITE FEVERISH
The internationally Listed Stocks We're
Very Much Depressed at the
Opening, AND Never Could
Make Any Roadway

New York, December 21-The stock mar
ket had to carry another heavy load of
liquidation today Trade was the smallest
of the week, but the tone was feverish and
unsettled throughout and fluctuations were
constant.
The principle selling pressure came from
London, where the money difficulty was ag
gravated by renewed apprehension over the
safety of the British columns in South At
rica, and the advance in the official discount
rate of the Bank of France
Much importance seemed to be attached
ITO the latter's action as an obstacle to. the
requirement of gold by the Bank of Eng
dand. London's pressure upon Paris was
reflected in a jump of confines in the
sterling exchange rate at Paris. Forced
liquidation by London was on a large scale,
and overf1owed to the New York market.
The internationally listed stocks were
acutely depressed at the opening and were
mot able to make any substantial Roadway
all day. In the last hour There was renewed
selling of this group, which forced down
prices all through the railroad list from 11s
no points, the extreme decline being in
Northwestern. The leading specialties were
also at the low point of the day in the last
hour. The bears were active in the late
drive and circulated stories of panic IN
London on account of fresh disaster 10
ITO cover short contracts caused some sharp
rallies, but they were not well held, the
closing was exceedingly unsettled at sub
stantial losses compared with last nights

Bonds weakened in sympathy with stocks.

Planting By the Moon.

Mr.. Editor-Will you kindly tell
me through your valuable paper
whether you think there is anything
in waiting for the increase of the
moon before repairing or building
fences E. w. SAUNDERS.
No, MIR. Saunders, we should not
wait; the moon is too fur away, and
it is too cold. It is true we have
heard Of "Moonshine" being success
cessfully used in repairing political
fences-we also remember story
told by one Buck Jones to the effect
that he onco built q ten rail fance in
the "down sign" and the influence of
the moon was such that it all sunk
down into the ground. Whereupon
he built another ten rail fence in the
"up sign right on top of the other.
The moon, taking cognizance of the
fact, pulled the first fence right out
of the ground, and, to Bucks aston
shment, he had good twenty.rail
fence. We doubt the story-we
believe that Buck lost control of his
imagination. We place this in the
same category with all the wonder
full stories about the marvellous draw,
ing powers of the moon Fence
timber is effected by the condition
of the sap when it is cut. and crops
by conditions of seed, soil and cul
ture, not by "up signs" and "dOwn
signs. Farmers should study prac
tlcal chemistry and the needs of the
plant life, rather than astrology and
witch lore. Physiology and anato
my are far more valuable to stocl
raisers than the combined wisdom ol
all the old fogies with their rabbit
foot and moon philosophy.-Farm

Democratic Convention of 1900.

More than two years have elapsed
since the Democratic National Com.
mittee had its meeting at Washing
ton to arrange the form of the call
for the National Convention of July,
1896, at Chicago.
1t appears, therefore, that the
Democrats faithful to the Chicago
platform are now moro completely
iD control Of the party organization
than they wero in 1896. Since then
they have become predominant in
the Democratic party in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and South Dakota, three
States which voted against them in
1896. Moreover, the New England
States, which presented a pretty
solid front against the Chicago plat.
form in the convention of 1896, are
now in nearly every case under the
control of the friends Of Bryan, More
especially is this true of Massachu-
setts. Maine and New Hampshire,
which cast at the Chicago conven-
tion 45 votes against the platform
and only 8 for it.
Meantime the opponents of the
Chicago platform in the Democrat
ic party are gaining nowhere, and
the most they venture to strive for
at party conventions is almost in
variably nothing beyond mere eva
sion of the currency issue. 1t is not
probable that they will be able to
muster at the National convention
of next year more than half of the
voting strength they exhibited at
Chicago in 1896, and even as many
as 100 delegates would be a very
liberal estimate.-The N. Y Sun.

one congressman protests against
the divine rights of New York's ma.
jority Of 38 congressman.
Our forefathers sent "to form a
more perfect union" compromised
their differences by establishing in
our government system of checks
and balances. But How Checki was
the vital question. Senators, though
they represented the States, could
not be elected by the very power
they were to check, nor could the
period of their service be commen.
surate with the power over which
they We're to draw the rein.
Society is oft blown and tossed
about with every gentle zephyr;
Congressman represent these con-
stant changes of social opinion.
The Senate stands immovable un-
til the sober, serious judgement of
the American people have settled
upon a dehnite policy. Sepators,
must the Ii. represent the States, and
so representing must be elected by
the delegated aud not by the dele
eating power. States dominate in
the House of Representatives, ac
cordipg to numbers; and States as
such governmental entities dominate
in the Senate, because co-equal,
regardless of numbers.
Numbers and States must concur
before any law can pass.
I'm society under the forms of
which stronger faction can
readily unite and oppress
the weaker, anarchy may be as truly
said to reign as in state OF nature,
where the weaker individual is not
secured against the violence of the
stronger. er.'-Madison, Al No. FEEDER
alist.
Why, then, by this move under
take to DESTROY our governmental
theory, and after the adoption of
our constitution, iLaugurate the
evil that gave our forefathers 30
muo h concern7
If Senator's, too, are to represent
society, why OF properly in proper
tiou to numbers and if in prop
tion to numbers, what becomes of
your checks and balances? What
becomes of the minority?-of the
indestructible States and we might
add, of the Southern States of this
Union?
What prevented the passage of
the force bill, to hang about the
poles of our Southland, sounding
the death knell of liberty? 1t is
urged by its friends that it will pre-
vent frauds. How7 BY increasing
the purchasing area; or conversely
stated, that frauds must necessarily
diminish as the area over which they
are to be permitted increases. That
sounds more like fiction than fact.
Again it is erged that dead locks
will prevented, and the non action
of State Legislatures be thing of
the past.

action.
