New York, Sept. 19.-l5arly events in
the New York cotton inarlSc, partooi1
something of the sensational, prices
breaking heavily under an avalanche
of general selling orders, but the
afternoon developments turned the
market and prices advanced sharply.
The local trade again manifested little
sympathy III efforts on the part of for
eign bulls To create fresh speculative
enthusiasm on the long side and in re-
SponSc to firm cables our market moved
up TO TO points on the call. The adj
vance was followed by sharp turn
and Il subsequent decline which cas-
ried prices off is to 10 points from the
opening. Liverpool was eXIr -mely sen
sitiVe to the weakness here and not
only made = full response. but soon led
in the downward movement, at the
same time supplying liberal selling or
ders in the local market. Shortly after
midday the temper of the market
changed completely and prices worked
steadily upward on covering by early
sellers ana moderate buying on the re-
action theory. The market was finally
very steady with prices net TO .

Labor Commissioner he has shown that
he has executive ability of high order,
and the faithful way in which he has
performed every duty of the position

Fourth-He is a representative of the
laboring element of the State. For years
he ran an engine. and since he left the
road has kept up his friendly and frater-

Commissioner of Labor he has sought
to better the condition Of the factory ope

esteem and confidence of that great ele-

Elsewhere we print sketch of Benja-
min II. Lacy, the present State Commits
sioner of Labor and Printing, who is q
prominent candidate for the Democratic
nomination for State Treasurer. We be
heve that Mr.. Lacy should be nominated
for the following reasons:
First-IIe is a loyal and consistent
Democrat who has always been faithful
There is no firmer believer in the prin-
ciples of the party-State and national
and he has given his time for their adj
yancenent.
Second-He is a speaker of rare power
Of persuasion and will make vigorous
