The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKE

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New YORK, Sept. 11.-There was de-
oiuealy less excitement in the cotton
market, although the volume OF
trading was still heavy and the action
OF the market was very irregular. Liv
erpool at one time was 126Dl9h points
hlgher instead OF the 5@7 points ad-
vance expected. Later, however. the
fnngnsh market gave way and closed
ieverlsh with the net decline reduced
TO sMlo1s points. Our market made Il
reluctant response, after which there
was break of 90 points on September
OF the list. The situation had some
ana Il TO 40 points on the remainder
OF the list. The situation had some
support from eleventh hour public buy
ing. but the larger local traders were
inclined to realize, if not TO SELL for
short account. BY noon the trading
level was some to IL points lower as
compared with the closing OF the pre-
vious day. The course of the market
later was varied with weakness the
most conspicuous feature. Liquidation
became active following reports tina,
Liverpool shorts had effected a settle
ment and that the damage to the crop
in Texas by the late storm would no,
exceed 100000 bales. The early after
noon government report proved bullish
! as expected, but did not long arrest the
downward course of prices. The mai
ket closed steady to % points net

ErsKiN AND SLICKnoaE.

In one week of last month England los, two of her greatest men Of letters, John Ruskin and K. ID. Blackmore. Ruskin was perhaps the greatest art critic the world has produced in all its history, while Blaekmore was writer Of rare attainments.
 Ruskin studied to become painter. and mastered the technique of the art. Though he never excelled in ex- ecution. he did work above the average. His early development Of superior ca- pacity as a master ot prose poetry, together wi.h his mastery Of the paint CTS art. gave him such vantage point as an art critic, that his services in that capacity were ever in demand. AS an essayest Ruskin's command of beautiful English made him success, though his lack of che practical knowledge Of affairs, such as that possessed by Bacon and Emerson detracted largely from the utility of ris work. His profound faith in his theoretical deductions was sublime iu its simplicity. He believed in the Utopia created by his magic pen as in a thing of life. Unlike many So- called reiormers, Ruskin lived his the- ories as religiously as ever Puritan lived his reed. pe had a world of his own created by himself.
 Blackmore resembled Ruskin In one thing only. his ability to write pure English. BlackmOre was a child Of nature. He was educated for lawyer, but the phases of life his profession iu- troduced were too complex Co be enjoy ed by one of his simple tastes. He early abandoned his profession and be. came truck farmer in a London sub urb. He commenced writing stories while vet a young man. His stories were as full of nature in it's simplest forms as was his own life. They were pure and wholesome and largely DOT traycd rural life in Britain in it's differ ent sections and at different periods. While he was one Of the most prolific of writers, his great fame rested upon one book, his greatest creation, Lorna Doone. which was different from his other works only in its more thrilling DlOt.

IvEY,S RESIGNATION.

The news oi the resignation ot Col lector Ivey caused no surprise to the readers Of the DAILY ALASKAN, which announced more than six months ago that Mir. Ivey would not i'll out his term ot office The collector had hard iy gotten the first tangle into which he got strengthened out, when he was mo- tifed early last spring that it was the desire of the department that he TO- main at Sitka and attend to the duties of his office. Despite this notification, MT. Iyey left Sitka and spent most Of the last sumner in the interior and on the north coast, giving much Of bis time to his numerous mining interests. During his absence special agent ot the treasury department visited Alaska on a tour or inspection. and was much put out to ind that the collector had departed. Through information re- ccIved from this agent, the DAILl ALASKAN announced that Mir. lvey would not complete his full term. NIT. Ivey's declaration. while in SSagway, jus, after hts return from Nome, that President Mckinley had not an office within his gift that would keep him from the Nome gold fields, would !nti- cate that he realized that he was risking his official position and did SO voluntar- ily when he decided on his last sum mer's trip.
 The question of Mir. Iyey's successor is causing some trouble with the Ore gon eongressional delegation. Senator simon c.aims that the president has offered the place to him, and he eonse- quentiy made a recommendation with out consulting the other members ot the delegation. Senator Mcbride and ,he Oregon representatives claim the place belongs to the Oregon delegation and have joined in naming a man other than him named by the webtoot states junior senator whose action they re- sent.

it down to some small bird singing in it's

those prairie nightingales." But what
that was he didn't trouble himself to

A Salty Tale.

The old saying that the way to catch
bird is to put salt on it's tail has been
verified by little Jimmy Belew, who
lives in Naudain street. Jimmy was
sent by his grandmother for two bags
of salt for some domestic operation
already in progress. After an hours
absence he returned in high state of
excitement. crying, 1--we got the bird!'
Sure enough, he had sparrow clutch
ed tightly in his fist. But where's
the salt?" asked his grandmother.
ooh, the SALT" said Jimmy. "Why,
that's around the corner in the middle
of the street"
Investigation showed that the boy.
returning from his errand, saw some
sparrows on the car track. He opened
one bag and poured out the contents,
which tile birds proceeded to investi-
gate. Then he threw the contents of
the other bag on top of the sparrows,
submerging them sufficiently to cap
ture one before it could eXtricate itself
from the avalanche of salt.-Philadel-
