COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-COTTON-
Speculation in cotton futures to-day was
light and traders gave the bulk OF their
attention to Strengthening up old ac-
counts. The news in hand on the call
was conflicting, with the bears. however,
having rather the better position In
Saturdays advance here, and on predic-
tons for a falling off in the crop move
ment, Liverpool had worked UP to 4
points, but the bulls and the outside in
Ierest were made uneasy by larger re-
ceipts and by another almost perfect
chart of the cotton belt.
The first sales developed 2 rise of )
points to d, decline of points, with the
market easy in tone; thereafter the ten
dency was slowly but steadily downward
under persistent sales OF long cotton and
scattering pressure from the leading
bears. Scarcely an effort was put forth
to arrest the course OF the market, and
at best speculation was of a hardening,
unsatisfactory type, with the professional
element in control.
Soon after midday estimates for March,
large receipts tomorrow at New Orleans
and Houston, gave the market another
setback while the weather forecast
proved equally effective in bringing about
Still lower prices. Throughout the late
afternoon it was anybody's market, and
a small one at that. Prices We're down
to q low level, with the market showing
feeble recuperauve energies in the alb
sence of support from the outside invest
1nent element. The market at the close
was steady with prices net 10 TO -

more intelligent men and women of
today, as well as to amuse every reader
by cleverness. and variety. The lead
ing article is a personal record of
almost unparalleled adventure, writ
ten by W. Walton, chief quartermaster
OF our navy, who shared with Lieut..
Gilmore q captivity Of more than
eight months among the Filipinos.
Thrilling as a story, the narrative
gives one a new insight into the
character Of the Filipino people. The
much talked of Wa Tingfang,
Chinese Minister at Washington,
contributes an intelligent paper upon
his own people, and this is reinforced
by an article telling just the facts
about the Boxers which few people
know, and everybody wants to know.

National Magazine contains a great
amount and variety of timely and
readable matter. A glance at the
contents page is q revelation in the
way Of the comprehensive makeup Of
a popular-priced magazinge. Despite
the prevailing hot weather that has
driven Washington society to the

Chapple still finds many things OF
great interest to gossip Of in his
ssAffairs at Washington" There is
q notable fine showing in the way OF
fiction in this number, and well
sustained interest in the regular de-
partments. It may safely be said
that no other ten cent publication
.excels esThe National Magazine and
that few equal it. It is the proper
thing for hot weather reading. If

our heartfelt sympathy in the heavy
affiiction they have sustained, as well
as that of the entire community in
which she resided. Mrs. Desire
Meaux was widely known in the
Cossinade section for her generous
kindness and wiling readiness to ex-
tend a helping hand to any one in
need. and her death is indeed a sad
loss to that community.
