COTTON MARKET
 WAS IRREGULAR Opened Firm at an Advance of
 3 to 7 Points THE CABLES. WERE BEARISH Receipts Were Heavy and Bull Move ment Was Based on the Frost Report-Close Was Steady
 With Prices Lower
THE CABLES WERE BEARISH

New York, November 3.-The cotton mar on local and foreign buying, chiefly for protection of oversold accounts, the motive being frosts from the northern belt All things considered the early advance was rather remarkable one, as receipts oyer- topped estimates, as the cables were de- cidedly unfriendly, and as substantial bull support was lacking. It later leaked out that the prominent foreign shorts were ap- prehensive of Squeeze" in spot markets South and of cold weather in the belt over Sunday. After the call the sole feature of trading was the buying of November and January by leading English house. The room trade fairly well evened up and ware houses had quite generally anticipated a narrow market, The government charter predicted frost in the Northwestern belt but showed reasonable high temperatures elsewhere. Southern markets were re- ported steady to firm and unchanged. The market for futures closed steady, with prices to 10 points lower.

Cotton Letter

Cotton Letter of Fairchild & Hobson, by
 Private Wire to H D. Cothran & Co.
 New Orleans, November 3.-Events of the past week were somewhat in favor of cot ton futures for the week closing unchanged with spots 1-16 up, at 9 1-16 for middling. In the southwest there occurred light, and in a few places heavy, frost, but no ma- terial damage is expected from this as no general killing frost has taken place. Trade conditions were more favorable to values, the cold snap gave new life to business, and spinners at the decline of nearly SS per bale from the highest bought liberally in the interior From Texas news Is of more favorable character, many claiming that receipts will soon begin to fall off. as all hurried shipments have been disposed of and there Is not the same demand for freight cars as was the case when De- tober was drawing to close. The sus- pense that has overshadowed all markets will, with the result of next Tuesdays bat tie of ballots, be set aside and business throughout the country will assume It's normal condition once more. Liverpool was fairly good on futures today, but disap- pointing on spots, which were reduced 1sd on sales of 6000. New Orleans opened at an advance of points on cooler weather in the belt. and on Liverpool better than ex- pected. December opened at S.79, declined to ST. advanced to S.S5 on talk of light re- cepts and evening up over Sunday.
 Warmer weather Is promised in the north west and northwest by low barometer in the northwest corner of the United States. For this week we estimate port receipts at 300, OOO against 257,55s last year and 445,S6S in S9S
 This week we will compare with a move- ment of SS4.0O0 that came into sight the corresponding week of last year. 55i,0OO year before and 5S9, 900 in 1897. Exports from all ports since September 1 are 1.529,32S, against 1,S00,676 last year.

WALLED CITY TAKEN
London Paper Receives Details OF Sat

A London Paper Receives Details OF Sat
urday's Fighting.
LONDON, July 16-12.45 p. M.-The
Daily Mail today gives the Associat-
ed Press the following dispatch from
its Shanghai correspondent under
date of July II;
The allied troops resumed the at
tack upon the Chinese walled city of
Piep-tsin on the morning of July IA,
and succeeded in preaching the walls
and capturing all the forts.
THE Chinese are completely rout-
ed and the allies took possession of
the native city and it's defenses.
THE total losses of the allies in the
engagements of Thursday, and Fri
day and Saturday were about 800
killed and wounded. The casualties
were greatest among the Russians
and japanese.
The guns of the allies did immense
damage to the native city, causing
many large contiagrations, and final
ly sileneed the majority of the
enemy's guns simultaneously. Then
1900 Russians, assisted by small
parties of Germans and French,
assaulted and captured eight guns.
that were in position ON the railway,
embankment and the fort the maga-
zine of which the French subsequent
ly blew up. A body of American,
British, japanese and Austrian
troops then made sortie and attack
ed the west arsenal, which the
Chinese had reoccupied. After three
hours of the hardest fighting yet, ex-
perienced, the Chinese fled.
When the arsenal had been. eva
cuated by the Chinese, the Alneri-
cans, French, japanese and Welsh
Fusilliers advanced toward the native
city and joined with the other attack
ing forces. The japanese. infantry
and a mounted battery advanced to
the foot of the walls, supported by
the Americans and French. Despite
valiant attacks, the allies were only
able to hold the positions gained out
side the walls preparatory to renew
ing the assault in the morning.
The casualties sustained by the
allies were exceedingly heavy, es-
pecially those 70 the Americans,
French and japanese.
Several explosions in the native
city were caused by the lombard
ment.
The Chinese appear to have eX-
hausted their supply of smokeless
powder, as they are now using black
powder.

NINTH AN OLD REGIMENT
Organized Over 100 Years Ago, 1t Say
Much Service,

Organized Over 100 Years Ago, 1t Saw
Much Service.
The Ninth Infantry, which General
Macarthur chose for service in China,
has until recently been garrisoning
the district along the line of the
Dagupan railway between Calumpit
and Tarlac, 30 miles north of Manila.
The regiment was first organized in
January, 1899. Its first colonel was
Josiah Carville Hall, of Maryland. 1t
has strength of about !, 400 men
The history of the presenth organi-
zation dates from 1855, when it was
organized at Fort Monroe and went
Immediately to the Pacific Coast by
way of Panama, to take station at
Vancouver. During the Civil War
the Ninth guarded California and
protected immigrants from the
Indians on the Slope. After six years
in Oregon and Washington it was
stationed in the Department of the
Platte for II years, its companies dis
tributed among the Indian agencies
and frontier posts. 1t was represent
ed in the Big Horn, Yellowstone and
other expeditions, and one of its bat
talions spent the year 1871 in Chicago
guarding the railroads from strikers.
In 1898, when its colonel, Jacob Kent,
took division to Cuba, the Ninth
went under Lieut.. Col. T. p. Ewers.
1t lost one officer and four men and
had 81 wounded at San Juan Hill.
Colonel Liscum, the last commander
of the Ninth, commanded the Fourth
as lieutenant colonel at San Juan.
On March "a, 1899, the Ninth sailed
from San Francisco fer Manila and
Immediately went on General Mac
Arthur's firing line in the advance to
the north along the railway.

THE NINTH SLAUGH HTERED.
The American Regiment Loses Ter

"25 PER CENT. OF MEN HIT"
This is the Estimate Ey an Army Surgeon.

which was conspicuous in the attack.
was, according TO the accounts at
hand, cut to pieces, losing its COM
mander, Col. E. H. Liscum, and about
% per cent. of its men. The other
foreign troops also lost heavily.
News of the disaster came to Wash
ington officially in a cable message
from Admiral Remey, dated Chefu,
July 16. He gives the following list
of losses:
Russians, 100, including colonel.
Americans, 80, including Colonel
Liscum and captain Davis, of Marines,
killed and several officers wounded.
British, over 40.
Japan, So, including colonel.
France, %.
Admiral Remey's dispatch indicates
that there were two attacks, one in
the morning and one in the evening.
The attack in the evening Twas re-
pulsed with great loss"
Press dispatches from Tientsin give
more details of the fight. 1t is stated
that at the time the correspondent
left the field the result was in doubt.
AT that time, according to the esti-
mate by surgeon, 25 per cent. OF
the Ninth Infantry had been hit and
the regiment was still exposed to the
direct and enfilading fire. A dispatch
to the London News gave similar de-
tails.
Col. P. French, who is said to have
been among the American killed, is
not known at Washington. The story
of his death is believed to be a mis-
take
No furthur accounts of the report
ed massacre at Pekin have arrived. 1t
is generally accepted as % fact that
all foreigners in the Chinese capital
are dead. According to Shanghai dis
patches the Boxers are moving south
and general uprising against for
eigners is feared.

more,diV idends would be paid until
they were earned. This was business
like. 1t was more. 1t was notice to
the State and Baltimore city that
neither interest need ever expect to
receive another cent in the shape of
dividends from their B. & o. hold
ings. The company was ready to
buy the stock held by both, and pay
dollar for dollar, but the political di-
rectors were a nuisance, and they
must go.
There was no remedy. The State
and city were forced to yield, and the
company bought all the holding of
both in the main stem of the road,
retaining only the stock in the Wash
ington Branch For several years
past - since the receivership - the
company has paid no dividend on
this stock, and probably never will
SO long as such men as German are
thrust into the directory. True the
new political directors will be in q
hopeless minority, but no one of Or
dinary intelligence can fail to see
how badly Gov. Smith is serving the
State in thus forcing director upon
the company who is persona non
9r0t0, and who has the additional
disqualification of having been pre-
viously kicked out of the directory
because of want of fidelity to its
best interests.
The day when the State will re-
ceive dividend from its stock in the
WashingtonBranch is farther off than
ever, and it has been postponed by
the stupid act of John Smith, Gov
ernor. T. F. MCCARDELL.

For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med
icines
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard.
N. G.
1t may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as preventive
of suffering we feel it duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have alwas found it reliable. In many
cases dose of this medicine would
save hours ofsuffering while a physi-
clan is awaited. We do not believe in
depending implicitly on any medi-
cine for a cure, but we do believe that
if bottle of Chamberlain Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and ad-
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of physician would not be required.
At least this has been our expeience
for the past twenty years. For sale

The Columbia MO- Herd1d advises
girls to marry country boys. The
wise girl, says the Herald, ''sets her
cap for the country boy. True, he
wears overalls and has brown hands
and his feet are is his way when he
walks. But he is worth dozen of
the town dudes, with their white
fingers and high collars and unpaid
laundry bills. And take a country
boy who will stay in the country. He
is II free man. The town boy is a
slave. He works all his life at mea-
gre salary and spends that in ways
not always commendable. There are
town sweethearts who are worth
something. There are some who do
not expect to have their wives sup
port them by keeping boarders.
There are some who do not loaf on
the streets Sundays and stay up late
at nights. These are town fellows
almost equal to the boys from the
backwoods. But beware of the other
kind Stick to the country sweet
hearts and stay stuck"
