of 81 and ~ Points.
New York, Oct. 1T was big day"
on the Cotton Exchange. The greatest
advance in prices was a matter of IS
points, and from start TO finish the bull
faction was in control. Fridays queer do
ing in the New Orleans market had led
the trade here to look for something in
the way Of a surprise when the market
opened, more particularly as II had been
rumored that Liverpool shorts were in
full retreat, and being closely followed by
jubiant bulls. The initial sales showed
an advance far exceeding the hopes OF
the most optimistic holders while subse-
quent business revealed an intensity of
bullish sentiment in outside speculative
circles not even imagined by the mar
kets best friends.
Just previous to the opening the super
intendent of the exchange made the un-
usual request that brokers name the fun
price when making bids and offers In or
der to minimize the possibility of mistakes
and to reduce confusion as much as pos
sibe. The stroke of the gavel started
wild wave of speculative activity, which
showed little abatement up TO the very
close. Opening prices were l4n25 points
above the closing Of Thursday, ana though
the market reacted from time to time dur
ment favored still further gains Bulls
were spurred on at the start by an adj
vance of 767h points in futures at Liv-
erpcol coupled with rumors that spot cot
ton had advanced in remarkable form dur
ing our holiday interval.
Talk of frost having injured cotton In
several parts of the belt, estimates for
much smaller receipts than last year, as
well as further severe reductions in crop
estimates, and reports of advances in the
price of spot cotton in the Southern mar
kets added fuel to the fire Of bullish en-
thusiasm Prospects of frost for the West

Savannah. Oct. 2.-The recent predictions
of those who maintained that the price Of
good mddling cotton would reach &c came
true to-day, when an advance of 2-Se
brought the market up 70 this figure. Sew
eral conditions contributed TO the advance,
among them being the favorable Liverpool
and New York advices in futures, and
the bad crop reports throughout the belt.
II was reported the crop was injured by
frost, ana The talk of more frost strepgth-
ened the sentiment favorable TO an adj
vancing market. The opinion is freely eX-
pressed that prices will so even higher.
and this is made the more probable by the
fact that local sales were made to-day of
good middling at sc.
General satis action was expressed over
the advance, and by none was this shared
more than by the brokers who lost by
their operations on the strength of the
recent Liverpool fakes. The advancing
market is a relief, and will help to SIM
plfy all complications as result of the
buying on erroneous quotations. There
are hopes that those who paid as high as
Sc for cotton will find relief in the ad-
vancing market, but it seems TO be ad-
mitted that those who bought on a lower
basis will not have any reason for COM

4 CURIOUS STRIKE.
Blind Men Throw Up $40 weekly
Upon a Question of Three Cents.

From the LONDON OnrOHclc.
Five men employed by the Association
for Promoting The General Welfare Of the
Blind, have knocked Off work. The
headquarters Of the association are in
Totteuaam Court road, and one Of our rep
resentatives yesterday saw Mr.. Mullin the
manager, on the subject of this unique IN
cident in the labor world Briefly, the
facts are these. Some time ago che asso-
cation received an order for four dozen
brushes from firm of brewers. The work
was given TO one OF their men who had
been Tor years engaged on the manufac-
ture of an almost similar sort of brush.
lie al once asked what ne was 10 be
paid for them, aud was Informed that he
would receive the usual price, Is aga 4
dozen. lie replied that he must have IS
Cd and when informed that he would not
be paid that sum he declared that he would
not do the work one by one the other
four men were asked to make these four
dozen brushes, but they all refused. Mr..
Mullins and the committee of the assoc
citation remaining firm in their decision not
to pay the half-crown, the hve men left,
and the work was given 20 outsiders. The
men were not, as has been reported, locked
out They left of their own accord and
the committee have not yet intimated 70
them that they Wall not be taken back. On
the face of it, il seems a pity that five
blind men, who may find a difficulty in
obtaining work elsewhere, should have
thrown away a steady occupation for the
sake OF paltry sixpence The manager
Of the association, the foreman and the
committee maintain that there was moth
ing in the character Of the brewery
brushes to justify the payment of 1lad
extra per dozen. One other point may BE-
l.. In 4 Is he
has been alleged that the men are obliged
to go out "busking"-or bcggiEg-in the
streets in order to make a living. They
can make a comfortable wagc-ranging
from about los to about e week by
working for the association, and any man
found begging Ia the streets would at
once be reported 10 the committee. There

a great believer in the virtues of this
spring. and during the lifetime of his wife
