support based upon the conviction
in some quarters that cotton is enti-
tied to a reaction. possibly explains, in
measure, the rise at New York to-
day of 6 to 10 points. Talk of frost
was also heard, which helped to
strengthen the sentiment favorable to
the market. The Savannah territory
received a precipitation, according to
reports from rice planters and truck
farmers.
The feeling that a rise was in order
was shown on the part of spot hold
ers generally. who seemed unwilling to
do business at concessions. In the f.
o. b. branch the offerings were limited,
and while fair volume of trading fol-
lowed, it was apparent the country
was not disposed to offer at prices
much below their ideas. Then, too,
better export demand was reported
from many points, which combined
with other favorable influences to sup
port the market.
In the naval stores market the de-
mand was reported as satisfactory for
both spirits and rosin. The wholesale
markets show fair activity, though not
such as is expected later owing on the
fall demand. The following resume of
the markets will show their tone and
quotations at the closing to-day:

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Nov. 1.-The market for
cotton futures opened firm with prices
6 to s points higher on active covering
and good foreign demand. While pub
lie buying was not much of a feature,
the general undertone of the market
mate conditions. The more conserva-
tive bears sought cover on the belief
that recent heavy sales and sharp de-
clines had eliminated the long interest
and placed the market in good form
for quick changes. The cables were
better than expected. Liverpool up 2
to 2h points at one time. Moreover,
heavy to killing frost was general last
night in the South Atlantic states and
cold weather was forecasted for the
belt west of the Mississippi tonight
Receipts at the ports were liberal, but
were counteracted by estimates for a
much smaller movement tomorrow.
Before midday most of the local adj
vance was lost under profit-taking by
the scalping element and some bear
selling in the hope of forcing further
liquidation.
But in the afternoon there was an
other sharp upward movement on fears
that Liverpool will tomorrow come
higher and on estimates for much
smaller receipts at New Orleans and
Houston. Trading was fairly active in
the last hour with foreigners good buy
ers of near months. Private wires from
Southern markets reported a better ex.
port demand and smaller offerings
from the interior The close was steady
with prices net 6 to 10 points higher

COTTON.

The spot cotton market closed steady
and unchanged from yesterday with
sales of 104 from factors tables. The
receipts exceeded those for any day
this season, being 1904 against 4,61s
last year. The demand was fair, though
the inquiry during the late hours did
not indicate that any urgent orders
were in hand. In the through shipment
market the demand was also moderate.
Towards the close buyers were bidding
7-16c, and the interior asking 71a4
TIC. AS the business was at the price
bid, the current quotations for F. G.
NJ. was 9-16c and for G. NJ. 7-16c.
Cotton futures at New York closed

The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

Hubbard Bros. & Co... Cotton Letter

New York. Nov. IA reaction of ten
points followed the steadier Liverpool
than the trade looked for yesterday
afternoon. From this point there was
a slow recession on exporters selling,
against purchases made in the South
late yesterday morning. The local
temper is to look for a reaction abroad
on the lighter receipts at Houston, and
to expect that the absence of business
in Texas will keep the movement in
that state well behind last season. 1t
has been thought that around 4d the
foreign sDinners would buy "a fair
amount of cotton and check the declin-
ing tendency on those ideas. Quite
an amount of cotton has been bought
yesterday and to-day.

NEW ORLEANS CoTTaN FUTURES.
New Orleans, Nov. 7.-cotton futures


New Orleans, Nov. 7.-Early Liver
pool advices were better than antici-
pated, causing our market to open to
8 higher, but the subsequent easiness
there, coupled to the favorable wealth
or existing in the belt, occasioned a
break Immediately afterwards. This,
however, was only momentarily, be-
cause shorts covering freely and local
traders playing for a reaction on the
light Texas movement superinduced
an advance of 10 from the bottom,
making the net gain 3 to II points on
the day. The temperature has risen
in Tennessee and the lower lake re-
gion. yet fair and colder weather is
predicted throughout the South to-
night and Friday, Notwithstanding the
ideal conditions for gathering and mar
keting the crops, the spot holders in
Texas are refusing to meet the decline
and exporters and spinners can buy
on a much cheaper basis in the Allan
tics. They are doing so, thereby check
ing the receipts from that state, and
increasing the large stocks already
held for an advance. This may tenn
porarily steady the market, but il
will ultimately be weak feature, when
il is considered that European textile
trade remains unsatisfactory and COM
plants are now coming in from the
American spinners, who claim that the
margin between the cost of the raw
article and the manufactured product
is so small that they will pursue
hand to-mouth policy for many weeks
on all breaks. Operators have been
purchasers on the theory that an en-
hancement was in order. In some in
stances small profits could have been
made. but as the tendency has been
downwards, IL certainly has not been
a paying business Therefore. while
recognizing that rallies may take place,
there is nothing in the situation 20 war
rant any permanent advance, unless
a decided revival in trade or marked
falling of in receipts were 70 material
ize in the near future.

Justice Andrews in the supreme court of New York has handed down . decision in which he holds that a wom. an should he home by midnight. The question arose on an application by Florence Abell, a dressmaker, to en- join Jacob A. Omdrak. her landlord, from closing the front door of the house and not immediately admitting her when she rang the bell. Miss Abell says she leased two rooms from the defendant in which to carry on her dressmaking work and sleep at sS5 month. She was to be allowed to have her shop open from seven a. m to ten p. m., but was to be admitted after ward at any reasonable time.
 She complained that on November 10 and 13 she was locked out and on the second occasion could not obtain ad- mittance and had to take a room at a hotel. She said that she was kept in all day at her business and did not think it unreasonable that she should go afterward to a theater or elsewhere with her friends. Omdrak said it was necessary to keep the house locked at night. as the tenants had great amount of valuables there.
 Justice Andrews granted 8 prelim- mary injunction requiring the defend ant to permit her to enter her prem ises at all reasonable hours and promptly open the door for her up to I2 o'clock ct night.

Prof. Markgraf reported the results of his exploration of the Yenessei and Ob valleys at the last meeting of the Geographical society. He used gondolas the greater part of the time and trav- eled an average of 200 kilometers day. The population of the adjacent country retired into the interior upon his ap- proach.
 Prof. Msrkgraf declared the most important fact established by the ex- ploration, which was undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining the navig- able streams of Siberia, was the utter disproof of the commonly accepted no- tion that the Siberian plain grows more and more fiat, as one approaches the northern ocean. He found the exact contrary to be true, the coast country being quite rugged and in places almost mountainous. There are forests of leafy trees to the edge of the sea and Prof. Markgraf believes 100000 boards could easily be got out by water every summer. There is an abundance of fish, and excellent grazing for cattle. There are no roads. of course. Prof Markgraf thinks the greatest need of this territory is a railway from Archangelsk to Berezoff. It would have a length of something over 800 miles.

ARMY TO HELP EDUCATE.
Bin Now Before COnGress Provides for Military Instructors In Schools
 Desiring the Same.

It will be interesting to the male school children of the United States to know that the house has agreed to 8 bill introduced by Col. Marsh, of Illi- nois, which permits the president to detail in addition to the army and navy officers now authorized, retired officers and on-commissioned officers of the army and navy. as military instructors in the schools of the United States, where such instruction is authorized by the educational authorities and where the services of the instructors are requested. The only expense to the schools will be the cost of communication of quarters of the officers.
 The preamble of the act recites that as the national defense must depend upon the volunteer service of the peo- pie, the schools which shall adopt sys- tenn of military instruction are en- titled to the assistance of the govern ment, in order to secure to the United States such knowledge of military af- fairs among the youth of the country as will render them efficient as volun- teers, if called upon for the national defense.
 Col. Marsh said: "If this measure is adopted it will result in giving the youth of the country military train ing which will be valuable to the gov ernment in time of need"
 He is confident the bill will be adopt ed by the senate.

PROVES A FAILURE.

The "wsaYy Willies" Fail ts Patron Sse che Institutien-Baths ana Bag. Der Shop Connected TheFe-
 with May Explain Why.

Many hopes are blasted by the fail ure of Terradelphia, the Utopia of tramps in Trenton, N. J. The great est disappointment of all is that of Thomas NJ. Terradei, the founder, who has devoted many years to his pet scheme to establish self-supporting home for the Weary Willies" of the nation, and B. M. Brown, who last April left Princeton theological sem mary and abandoned the idea of be- coming a minister in order to take charge of the institution. and last are the "hobos" left to the mercy of a cold world at the beginning of win ter.
 Mr. Brown has resigned and the in- stitution is now in charge of MT. Ter radel. Interest is past due on mort. gages amounting to $60.000.
 A dozen years ago Tom" Terradel, an engineer on the Pennsylvania rail- road, gave up his position and invest ed all his savings in this tramps' re- treat. With the aid of others he erected a six-story building and the scheme was launched. but the institu- tion never prospered. The heirs of Isaiah Williamson. Philadelphia mill lionaire. gave large sum of money to put the institution on it's feet.
