New York, October I.-Cotton open
ed steady : 10 6 points lower on weak
cables, influenced by Neilrs estimate OF
II. 900. 900 bales. The market held
steady around h opening prices dur-
ing the first half hour. when prices
gave way on liquidation which caught
stop orders. and a 10 points decline re-
suited. Il rallied on enewed buying
and covering and closed steady / point
net advance for the day. Liverpool at
opening was 5 to 5n points decline and
closed barely steady 4 TO Az net for the
day. Spot sales were 10000 bales at 1-f6d
lower. NeilIs estimate OF II. 900 900
bales had little or 10 effect on our mar
ket. he having reduced II loo. 900 bales
inside Of two months Il is very posi-
BILE that he will find az opportunity TO
make another reduction during the next
six. The bulls are very much encour-
aged by h small receipts and firm
tone of spot markets. Mills are indif-
ferent to new business except at their
own prices, having old SO far ahead.
We believe there has been sufficient Il
quotation to add new life To the mar
ket and prices should advance.

(By Associated Press.)
New York. October 1.-The price OF
cotton reached a much lower level in
the market this morning, but suisse
quently rallied and closed within )
points OF las nights figures. Consid-
ering the action of our market yester-
day, Liverpool today showed weakness,
variously accounted for by private ca
bles. One report had it thai Neill's
crop circular and the warlike attitude
OF England n the Beers had forced
holders to unload and induced general
short selling abroad. Another source
claimed that the leading bears or his
side had sent over large selling orders
and these, combined with heavy pres
sure from bear circles in Liverpool, had
brought about the heavy decline. Our
morket opened 6 to s points under last
night and continued 10 decline most
of the forenoon, January at one time
selling at 6.91 and May 7.05. Shorts
attacked the market vigorously and
enormous amounts of long stuff were
forced Overheard by the outside pub
lie, and even a number of room bulls
sold out a goodly portion of their hold
ings.
For a while excitement was at fever
heat and nobody seemed to have the
| faintest idea as to where the selling
movement would carry prices. Shortly
after midday, however, there was a
marked change and prices were soon
rapidly advancing, January reaching
7.04. Supported by official estimates
for another light movement at the
ports tomorrow and a batch of hulIiSh
crop news and other Information from
the cotton belt, the market stubbornly
resisted further pressure. A number
of staunch outside house sent in large
buying orders with the result that
shorts were soon scrambling to cover.
At the close the market was very
steady with prices 1 point higher to 5
net lower.

New York stock Market.

New York, October 1.-THE stock
market fell fiat again today. The dull
ness was made evident that yesterdays
upward squirt was due almost entirely
to covering by shorts, who today were
inclined to regret their precipftancy.
The Warlike situation betWeen England
and the TranSvaal was almost without
effect. In fact, the London market
seemed to feel rather encouraged than
otherwise over the termination Of the
uncertainty, and operators there in
clined to bid up the prices of some
of the American stocks in sympathy
with the advance of the Kaffir stocks.
The rise was shortlived on this side,
and the dragging tendency of prices
was not much changed at any time
until the close of the, market at prices
below last nights level all around.
The money market was distinctly
easier. The causes of this were quite
apart from the action of the treasury
department in offering to anticipate
the government in the payments for
the remainder of the fiscal year. For
one thing, h sub-treaSury figured at
the clearing house again today as a
debtor for 81 900, 900. Government dis
bursements are running quite heavy,
due in large part to pension payments.
There was a sum of gold received from
Havana today on account of postal re-
venues and a small additional shipment
of French gold was received. The
ate for call money ruled for the great
er amount of loans at Z to s per cent.
and fell to 3 per eel in the late deal
ings. Money continues to go out to the
interior in large volume
Not so cheerful a view was taken Of
the effect of the treasury departments
action with regard TO anticipated in
terest. Under the terms of the depart
ment order the amount of interest to be
paid out this week is only about 81
900, 900 and hat not until Friday. OF
course only part OF it is payable in
New York, and precedent shows hat
a small part of the holders are likely to
present their claims on that day. The
next disbursement comes on October
23rd. The requirement for the presen-
tation OF registered bonds for indorse-
ment before payment is made is also
expected to operate against a general
acceptance of the interest. The action
of the treasury department, neverthe-
less, has had the effect of allaying ap-
p~rehensbon in Wall street, but 1T is per-
ceived that whatever relief is afforded
is not likely to furnish a supply of sur
plus funds for the benefit of stock
Spectators.
The business in bonds was very we'll
distributed Ind the tendency Of prices
was downward. Total sales, par value,
were 50, 0S5, 900 United States new As
coupon advanced rs and the registered
u in the bid price. The total sales of
stocks today were 269, 700 shares.

THE MAZET COMMITTEE.
Continues its Investigation-The End
not in Sight,

New York, October 11.-When the
Maset investigation committee adjourn
ed its sessions today until tomorrow
Counsel Frank Moss announced that
no sessions would be held next week,
but that the final adjournment of the
committee was in THE far future.
Today's sessions were devoted to the
consideration of increases in h Sala-
ries Of the various city department Off
cials and, Incidentally, to the decreases
in salaries; but it was shown that the
increases far Outweighed the decreases.
1t was also shown that where records
We're made of changes in salaries, the
record gave no Indication of h amount
of salary previously received.
One of the Maset committee detec-
tives told on the stand of having been
compelled Ito pay the police money
for a release from illegal arrest
A portion of the testimony today was
devoted to the methods OF Naughton &
Co, who are putting in an electric rail-
way ON the Boulevard and are occu-
plying the streets for a space of half a
mile. According to the TESTIMONY,
trade has been greatly interfered with
in this section Of the city and the con-
tractors have made no effort to push
along the work. Indeed, several wit
nesses declared that the workmen were
not only compelled to lag along in their
work, but were discharged If they
showed any inclination to exert them
sleeves.

BURGLARS BOLD WORK.
THE RESIDENCES OF J.. S. CARR AND R,
W. WINSTON ENTERED.
Watches and Jewelry to Value
of 81 900 Taken from Col. Carr's-Ar-
ticIes of same Kind stolen at Judge
WI iston's-The Latter Found I'm the
Yard Next Morning-No Clue to the
Burglars.

Raleigh, N. G, October ia special
TO the News and Observer from Dur
ham, N. c., says
Two daring buglaries were commit
ted alt the residences of Colonel Julian
S. Carr, and Judge r. W. Winston. in
this city, Tuesday night.
At Colonel Cars the loss will amount
TO between SO, 500 and $4,000. The burg
lar or burglars entered Colonel Cars
bed room and stole a diamond stud
from a shirt beside the bed OF which
the colonel was sleeping. This dia-
mond ornament was valued at $1,000
and was a registered stone. It vas
stolen during the worlds fair at Chica-
go, but was afterward recovered by
Pinkerton men. A gold watch belong
ing to Colonel Carr, valued at $500; d
gold watch belonging to Mrs. Carr,
valued al 500; a diamond scarf pin; a
pair of gold cuff buttons, set with die
| monds, belonging to ClaiDorn Carr
gold earrings, gold brooches, etc. Were
taken.
1t is not known at what time the rob
berry occurred. Not a clue was left be
hind to indicate how the guilty party
got in the residence. Some of our peO-
pie think it was evidently the work
of a professional.
At the residence of Judge Winston,
as was the case at Colonel Carr's, it is
| not known in what way entrance was
made. Two watches, a gold one n a
child's watch, two gold necklaces two
gold pins and Mrs. WinSton's jewel
| case were stolen. All of these were
| found this morning neal the side gate
in the backyard, where it is supposed
| they We're dropped by the burglar in
| his flight.
The front door of the residence was
found open this morning and it is
| thought that exit vas made in this
| way.
In neither of the two robberies were
| the occupants of the households dis
| turbed in the least, and knew nothing
| of it until they aWoke this morning.

During the winter Of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants Of Clay, Clay county, W.
Va, struck his leg against a Jake of
ice in such a as to bruise it
severely. It became very much swollen
and panied him 80 badly that he could
not walk without the aid Of clutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds Of liniment and two
and a half gallons Of whiskey in bath
ing it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in a weeks time and he believes
that had he not used this remedy his
leg would have had to be amputated.
Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. FOR sale by

New York. October 11.-There is no
change in the character of the demand
for kaple cottons. More business is
coming forward than sellers are able
to take care of. The tone of the mar
ket is very strong and prices tend up
ward. Staple prints are selling well,
fancies unchanged. Wooden dress
goods are in good request for immedi-
ate delivery and for spring, with a stiff
ening tendency. Silks are quiet, but
firm for piece goods. Ribbons are
quiet and disappointing. Print cloths
