that the resources of the banks were

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 10.-There was no.
table revival of speculation in the
stock market today, following the wav-
ering and hesitating movement of the
last day or two. Pretty much every
department of the market became af-
fected to an exciting degree and in the
late dealings the market became fairly
buoyant and closed active and strong at
about the top level. This sudden out
hurst Of speculation on reversal of the
recently current sentiment caused cir
culation Of many rumors and gave rise
to a supposition of some important de-
velopment in the financial world not yet
disclosed to the public. The rumors
centered about supposed further devel-
cpments in the Northwestern railroad
world and early took the form of a
plan for adjustment with the Canadian
Pacific which might eliminate COMPETE

New York, Oct 10.-The market closed

cotton futures started off steady with

of which was the large spot sales, 10000

month in Liverpool was up points, with
later months 2 to 5 points higher. Fol-
lowing the call the market continued to

which level selling for profits set in on
a liberal scale and by midday had car
ried the whole list off to points.

and firm advices from Fall River, helped
to strengthen local bull confidence. The

foreign buying orders and active covering

Southern wires stated that export de-
mand for spot cotton had grown to he

How far this council will have author

the negotiations are proceeding with the

THE GREATEST GOLD MINE
IN ARIZONA, AND SHOOK THE
HAND OF ONE OF THE
WoRKMEN.
RED HOT BAR OF GOLD
WORTH $4,000, TURNED OUT FoR
THE PRESIDENTS
INSPECTION.

CONGRESS, Ariz., May President
hours this morning visiting the big
gold mine located at this place, which
is about seventy-five miles northwest
Of Phoenix. The original itinerary
contemplated spending the entire day
until o'clock this afternoon at Phoe-
nix, but it was modified to take this
little side trip, and inspect the works
of the mine, the largest in the terri
torZ.
Justice Street and other territorial
officials came here to welcome the
President to the territory.
The party tramped up to the mouth
of the shaft, which descended at an
angle of thirty degrees 3,100 feet into
the mountain. The President did not
make the descent, but all of the men,
bers of the Cabinet except Secretary
Wilson went down in cage to the
lowest level and witnessed the drilling
and blasting process.
The President, accompanied by the
president of the mine, r. d. Gage, walk
ed through a half mile tunnel light
by candles, to the stamp mills, where
eighty stamps were crushing ore. He
then inspected the cyanide works and
saw cast bar of gold worth $4,000.
The President was much interested and
asked if he could not see the bar
1T is red hot" said Mr.. Gage.
Il will show it." shouted one of the
meters, named Richmond.
Stepping forward and with the pro-
lection only of few rags on his hands,
he seized the red hot mold and dumped
the white hot bar of glowing metal up
on the stone. The rags were ignited
by the heat and the young mans hands
were scorched but he oId not vince.
That is the true American pluck"
cried the President, advancing toward
Richmond. Il want to shake your
HAND"
He grasped the mans hand and shook
it cordially.
On the way back to the train the
President had a good view OF the min
ing camp in the valley below.
The famous Vulture mine. on one of
the spurs of the Vulture mountains,
forty miles away, was pointed out to the
President.
