Zach Day.

New York, Sept. 26-The stock mar
ket was more feversh and irregular
to-day than for months. The move
ment of prices was very wide and the
dealings were on large scale. The
rally which set in the first of the week
seemed TO have eliminated during the
morning session with the result that
prices dropped back and the market
fell into dizziness at about last night s
level. Northern Pacific was singled
out as the special object of attack and.
although there were other stocks which
covered vide range on the down
grade. Northern Pacific fell farthest
below last nights level of the railroad
group. The selling of Northern Pacific
was supplemented by pressure against
Missouri Pacific, The raid was sue
cessful in dislodging stop loss orders
and the whole market fell away with
some violence. The nervous condition
of the bears was strikingly shown In
the violent recovery of the last half
hour of the market when a rumor got
into circulation that the strike OF the
coal miners had been settled. Prompt
measures taken to secure authoritative
information failed to confirm it. and
the bears bought stocks to cover in dis
orderly haste. Some violent recoveries
were the consequence, Reading first
preferred rallying az on wide jumps
and New Jersey Central 3. The mar
ket closed considerably excited and
strong, with q large number of stocks
showing net gains. The continued
y weakness of sterling exchange begins
to arouse the conjecture again as to
whether relief to the money market Is
to be looked for by gold imports.
The bond market was dull and con-
tinued irregular.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKETS.
New York, Sept. 26.-All was confu-
sion and uncertainty in local cotton
speculative circles to-day. The market
started easy in tone with prices UNI
changed to s points lower and continued
to shrink rapidly, following the call
under brisk liquidation of long cotton
purchased last night. The selling was
impelled by sudden and pronounced
decline in the Liverpool market. Soon
after midday the market took u turn
for the better On the advance the
foreign. Southern and Wall street con-
tingentS came TO the front us moderate
buyers of the winter months, while
room shorts heavily covered. Through
out the day there was clearly mani
tested a feeling of distrust with a good
~ number of traders actually with
drawing from the market where oppor-
tunity afforded until some new devel-
opments of Importance came to light.
In the last half hour furry OF local
covering carried prices to above the
close of yesterday. The market closed
firm with prices net to IL points

In the District Court.

As we go to press the case of the
State VS.. Frank Naccratto. charged
with assault with deadly weapon
with intent to commit murder, is on
trial in the district court, and the evil
dence of the defense is nearly all in so
the case may be expected to 90 to the
jury before night. The witnesses on
both sides are nearly all Italians who
can not speak the English language
and two Interpreters have been EN-
ployed
This case is supposed to have grown
out of the capture Of Abb, the Italian
slayer Of James Lacey at Spokane last
February After committing the deed
Abb took refuge among the Italians
at Priest River, where he was later
captured through information furn-
ished by an Italian named Presta.
Presta was afterward assaulted by
Naccratto.
1t is expected the district court will
remain in session at least two weeks
longer.
