COTTON.
New York, Sept. 24.-Cotton futures
opened steady with prices three points
lower to two points higher, and for a
time Immediately following the call
were firm on covering and some sup
port from the bull side, induced by light
receipts, bad crop reports and better
cables than looked for. Later prices
eased off under liberal bear operations
and for the rest of the forenoon the
course of the market was quite steadily
downward with January leading the de-
cline Later the market rallied on the
posting of the weekly government re
port which proved to be bullish Esti-
mates for very light receipts at the
ports, and interior towns tomorrow and
better reports from Fall River, helped
to stimulate buying. On the rise the
South anG commission houses were
moderate buyers. In the last half hour
the marke. was quite firm on a demand
from nervous shorts and the close was
at about top figures with the tone
steady.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 24.-There were in
dications of support for Amalgamated
Copper inside interests today for the
first time since the reduction in the divi-
dend was announced last Friday. The
rapid downward course of that stock
was thereby arrested and the whole mar
ket showed signs of relief from the
nervous strain engendered by Amalga-
mated Copper's violent decline. There
was little actual news to take account
of in considering the days movement
of prices as they were governed almost
exclusively by technical causes grow
ing out of the collapse in Amalgamated
Copper. Copper mining stocks all over
the world showed the effect of this de-
velopmen: this morning, and spot cop
per in LoLdon scored a violent decline
on account of prevalent runlor that
the Amalgamated Company was about
to reduce it's selling price in order to
work off an accumulation of it's product.
Selling by foreign holders of American
securities, including railroad stocks,
wa; an important influence in the open
ing decline here, which reached from
one to two points in important cases
Amalgamated Copper sold at ninety
during the first few minutes of trading,
Which proved to be the low point of the
day. 1t was after the stock had stead
led that The severcst pressure developed
against the general list. A promiscuous
spilling out of stocks carried the level
of the prominent railroads and special
ties from one to two and three quar-
ters below last night, the Pacific South
westerns, Changers and Sugar being the
principal sufferers. 1t was believed
tina. recent losses in Amalgamatetl Cop
per were responsible for tie liquidation
elsewhere. Several alarmist stories put
out this morning indicated exhaustion
of :nnmuni ion by the bears. The sup
port developed in Amalgamated Cop

We're largely wiped out and fair pro-
portion of net gains established. Points
of conspicuous strength were the Van
deroilts, Manhattan and Wabash. A fea-
ture of the day was the selling of
stocks controlled by leading capitalists
by brokers usually employed by other
leading capitalists, which served to en-
phasize the dread felt yesterday of a
renewed outbreak of hostility between
financial powers.
A good deal of the selling of Amalga-
mated Copper was of this character and
seemed TO be designed to force inside
support of that stock. In the late buy

Guy de Maupassant pensaba 10 mismo. y
veia en- ell lucinado de su Horlo un descubri-

senor Dick, estuniaba la raz6n de los locos con
el mismo ardor con que Dsscartes analizaba
las locuras de los cuerdos.

MANCHA NEGRA

E ref1or don j. Comas Sola, trabaiando er
ell Observatorio de Barcelona con una ecuAto
rial Grubb de sefs pulg adas, ha descubferto en-
ell pasado mes de Jupio una mancha muy ex.
trafia en- el Sistema | de ,os anilIos que en- su
super6cIe presenta Ell planeta Jupiter.
Por ell tempo que pas6 por ell meridiano
central el dia de la observation, resulta que su
longitud es 73o su latitud $50
La maAcha presenta un color cast negro
con un ltgero tinte granata, y no observkndo-
Ia con mucho cufdado podr2 tomarse por Ia
sombra d g un safe .ite.
Els efectivamente circular ben marcada,
pero examinandola con mucha atenci6n Sc dis
tingue una penumbra muy p4lida delante
otra detras de la msncha misma, siendo IL
penumb bra posterior Ia mas prominente.
Lo notable es que, fines de Mayo, no
Sc percibfa senal aiguna de esa manchs.
