GENERAL BREAK 5 IN COTTON MARKET Active Months Dropped from 20
 to 31 Points. NEAR POSITIONS WERE WEAK Decline Was Arrested Several Times by Profit Taking-Texas Storm
 Reports Failed to Be Factor
 
NEAR POSITIONS WERE WEAK

New York. September 14.-Cotton futures opened feverishly irregular Prices on the first call showed decline of to 15 points on the near positions, while the later months were points lower to point high CT. A good deal of long cotton was for sale, and within the next few minutes prices showed further loss of ' points. There was partial reaction on covering; but again the market became very weak. The decline of 7-32d in spots and 6-64 to 12R-64 in futures at Liverpool was greater than expected. Public support heretofore always ready to take advantage of breaks, failed to materialize. The near positions were partly weak and liquidation of long accounts was the order of the day.
 From the closing figures of yesterday, September broke 25 points; October 26 points and January. March and May 21 points. At one time October had special support in the way of heavy buying by Liverpool, but this was finally withdrawn. In general way the market was gravita- ting towards more normal condition, and while still extremely sensitive, was less spasmodic than at any time within the past ten days. The decline was arrested several times by profit-taking and the market was also helped by reports that the cloth market was showing new signs of life. Spinners, however, were still showing retreating front, being without orders to justify them in paying prices. Crop &C., counts were still conflicting. It was re- ported that rains were interfering with cotton picking east of the Mississippi Val ley, particularly in the Atlantic States.
 Texts storm reports failed to be fac tor. The market closed steady in tone, but at about the lowest level of the day, a net loss of 24 to 30 points. The failure of a small New Orleans house was disturbing factor in the late market,

COMPARATIVE CUSTOMS.

That larger per centage of merchandise tor the interior was being landed here from British Columbia ports than from those of the United States. has been generally known, but what the proportion actually was has only been a matter of conjecture The figures in another column show the value of the shipments from British Col umbia ports passing through Skagwav in bond during the first three months of this year to be s3o3,I44; and of American goods arriving here and exported over the sum init into British territory during the same period $22o, o,422, bulk of trade in favor of Canada of SI72.722 during the first quarter of the year.
 During this present quarter the ship ments will undoubtedly be larger and con tinue so as long as navigation is open and the great disparity between the sum total of the shipments of the two countries will therefore be more manifest. It is also pointed out that large amount of the Ca- nadian merchandise embraced in the fig ures given, is of American manufacture. and these two points taken in conjunction form excellent subjects to study over for

A lot of the small stamp books just got ten out by the government for convenience in carving postage stamps in the pocket have been received by the Skagwav post office and placed on sale. They are some thing original and unique as well as con venient. tfy
 The books are very simple. The covers are of thin cardboard, and the stamps, per> torated at the edges are thus made detach- able from the leaves. They are inter leaved with paraffne paper, to prevent premature adhesion.
 The books are sold in three sizes. con taining two cent stamps in lots of I2, 24 and 48 stamps each. Each book is sold at an advance of cent on the value of the stamps it contains, just enough to cov- CT the cost of binding.

THE NOME AMENDMENT.

The editorial of y, sterday on the rich Reindeer claims at Nome was read with interest and occasioned consider able comment. There were those, how ever. who were not acquainted with the discussion in the senate upon the question of the locating of such claims by the use of the Laplanders and their reindeer, and for their information the following brief resume of the discussion on the subject It was opened by sen ator Hansbrough who proposed to amend the mining provisions of the Carter bill by the substitution of the following:
 "Aliens, shall not be permitted to To-
 cate. hold, or convey mining claims
 in said district of Alaska, nor shall
 any title to mining claim acquired
 by location or purchase through an
 alien be legal. In any civil action
 suit or proceeding to receive the pos
 session of mining claim, or for the
 appointment of receiver or for an
 injunction to restrain the working
 and operation of a mining claim, it
 shall be the duty of the court to in
 quire into and determine the question
 of the citizenship of the locator"
 In explaining this amendment Mr. Hansbrough said that in the Cape Nome district many mining claims had been located by q party of Laplanders, who had Teen sent north by theUniJed States government in charge of herd of rein deer. They were supposed to be sent to Point Barrow, to relieve some whal- CTS there. Having the advantage of the reindeer, the Laplanders made fast time and reached Nome in advance of the American miners. They promptly located the best claims and held them to the disadvantage of American min CTS.
 Senator Stewart opposed this amend ment strongly, principally on the ground that the claims so staked had passed by purchase into other hands. If Senator Stewart knew this, he knew also now these Laplanders had been used for fraudulent purposes, and by his support became party to such ne- farious transactions.
 Senator Carter supported the amend ment and referred to the discrimina- tion made against the Americ9 miners in the Klondike; was it proposed. he asked to permit Canadians. Laplanders, Chinese and Japanese to locate claims in American territory as American cit izens might do? He ridiculed the idea that a party of Laplanders. piloted to this country by Dr. Sheldon Jackson, with whom congress, " in fit of tenn porary alteration of mind," had made arrangements to relieve some starving whalers should be allowed to pre- empt the best mining claims in Alaska be fore they had indicated their desire to become American citizens.
 There was more in this dscu ssion on these lines, and it is said Senator Stew art declared that he would kill the AL aska bill altogether if this amendment passed. He is undoubtedly interested with those who paid the Laplanders little or nothing for their locations, and thus for selfish interests, as was stated yesterday, he would block the wheels of legislation. But Senator Carter has amended the Hansbrough substitute, and at last advices there was no oppo- sition to the passage of the Alaska bill by the senate except that raised by Senator Stewart.
