NUMBER 8.
OCTOBER WEATHER.
According to Forecast II Will be a
Stormy Month.

otofHly bOIft0s
In his forecast for October
Rev. Irl l.. Hicks observes that
the Mars period of disturbance,
central any time during the
month, is sufficient cause for ap-
pretending heavy, autumnal
storms. Such a period is central
in October 2, extending beyond
the middle Of the month. Coin
cident with this center of the
Mars period is a regular Vulcan
storm period, extending from the
1st to the 9th. eve will scarce
ly have recovered from the heavy
equinoctial storms late in Septem-
Der" says Hicks, 'when renew
ed storm conditions will begin to
appear in the western parts of
the country. Temperatures, drom
eters, and winds will give prem
onitions of coming change. Be
tween the Cd and 9th these con-
ditions will grow into cloudiness
and rain and snow will touch
many parts of the country in
their transition from west to east
above Wednesday, October 9 to
Saturday, October s."
From the 8th to the 10th anti
storm conditions will give place
to a return of falling barometers
and other conditions leading to
more storms of rain and snow.
The conjunction of the moon with
the sun on October ~ will pre-
cipitate the change to warmer
with falling barometer at the
very outset of this regular Vul-
can period and returning storms
of rain and snow will pass across
the country about Monday, the
14th, to Thursday, the 18th.
The Goth to 21st are central
days of reactional time of aut-
umnal disturbances. A percept-
ible change to warmer will be
noted in the west about the 10Th;
this change will be followed by
falling barometer and cloudiness,
and October rain, fringed in the
north by sleet and snow, will ira
verse the country from west to
east during the Goth to 22nd.
Some of the heaviest storms of
the month may certainly becount-
ed on during the Vulcans storm
period central on the 26th- At
this time the boreal influence will
have grown aggressive, the moon
will be on the equator on the oath,
full on the 9th and in perigee in
the 26uh. This will also be at the
elimination stage both of the
Mercury and Mars perturbations.
Watch all agricultural and mar
thine interests at this time. Cold
wave will follow.

Mrs. Elizabeth Pittman.

Mrs. Elizabeth Pittman, widow
Of the late County Surveyor An
drew j. Pittman, died at her home
in Thompson township, Wednes-
day, September 25, 1901, aged
about rs years.
Mrs. Pittman had been a victim
Of consumption for several years;
but always bearing her suffering
with sweet christian fortitude.
A few summers ago, her husband
and entire family of seven chill
dren were stricken down with ty-
phoid fever and lay for many
weeks, her husband dying, and
herself passing through pro-
tracted illness.
She had been a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church at
Oakley for many years, and no
more faithful woman ever lived.
Having had much sickness in her
own family she was especially
full of sympathy for her neigh
bors and friends when afflicted,
and was always ready to lend a
helping hand whenever in her
power, to alleviate suffering or
distress.
The children-four sons and
three daughters-survive, and
while bereft of both parents the
influence of those parents are so
instilled into those children that
there is little to fear that they
will not live to honor the name of
their ancestor.
Mrs. Pittman's s remains we're
inferred at Oakley on Thursday,
Revs. Beall and Pittenger con-
Quoted the funeral services.

of $1.25 day for work, saying he
would starve before he would
work for such wages you can
risk your last dollar that some
other person is paying for the

such wages as he can get, be it
high or low, is the one who gets
there in the end.

 Disappointment at the previous failure of the market to respond to heavy exports and decreasing visible supplies, together opened trife easier. Trading was light and largely for local account, consjdera ble Of 1t being in the way of closing up deals in view of the coming holidays. Corn ex- erted 8 powerful influence over wheat and prevented any gain in values. December opened shade co h lower at 71k171%. Covering by shorts advanced the price to n+, but weakness in corn caused a re- action to nd711s. The close was ssGhc lower at 71hd71A.

Receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were reported as 660 cars, against 5o4 cars last week and 343 cars year ago. Local receipts were 13S cars, with only one of contract grade.
 Liberal receipts, disappointing demand and the gradual liquidation of September the unfavorable conditions which have caused weak tendency in corn for the past ten days were still noticeable again today and the result was a declining mar ket.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. % There was not much doing in the market for spot cotton today.

The market for contracts was treated to a surprise this morning by Liverpool, which. indulP- ing in one of her characteristic somer- saults. came in al an advance of 1-l6d on spots and worked up 6-649S-64d on deliW- cries. The only cause that can be as- signed for this flight is the dangerous position she has allowed herself to be placed in by the practical exhaustion of her tenderabie goods
 This market opened 7d11 points higher A brisk buying movement followed the opening here and prices were forced up l0S points additional At that time there was considerable selling to realize and 1t was rumored that Texas was selling short through private wire houses and the re- suit was a break in the level that sent prices back to a net gain of but points from the opening.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
PRICES 5 TO la POINTS HIGHER
 AT THE YPEN1Na. D.
At the Close the Advances Were 21 to 25 Points-$uperabundance of Bullish News from
 All Charters.

NEW YORK, Aug 2s-The market for cotton futures openet firm with prices oQ 12 points higher and continued to advance after the call on vSry active room and outside buying, sca4city of sellers, and superabundance of bhllish news from do- mestic and foreign sources. Sentiment which last night was very bearish swung completely around b the bull point Of view. Shorts were dumbfounded by an advance of 511 to p}ints in Liverpool fu- lures, having expected a decline or point at the close hsre yesterday. Euro pean buying orders, m advance of 3-32 in spot cotton in the English market and reports that cotton goods trade on the continent was improving served to in tenstfy the bullish trend of cable advices. As for home news. crop advices stated that the Texas crop was failing very rap idly. too much rain was complained of again over the South Atlantic States and In portions of the central belt, Southern spot markets were very firm and tending upwards on increased demand Fall Riv- CT accounts show further change for the better in trade conditions, while the move ment of the crop fell short of expecta- tions. By midday January had advanced to s.O2 and gave promise of doing even better later in the day. The shorts were nervous and after several intellectual at tempts to check the rise, hastened to reach safer grounds. Speculation broad ened rapidly and included active buying for warehouses and commission brokers accounts. New Orleans and Europe bid freely for the fall and winter months in our pit. Texas bought October on the unfavorable crop outlook. Soon after midday reports reached the pit to the effect that hot winds were causing rapid deterioration in Texas This started buy ing for both accounts afresh and prices rapidly worked higher. Close upon the Texas news came an official statement from the exchange superintendent show ing recount of the New York stock, the result of which was reduction in the figures of 31,000 bales to 114,O00 baies This was totally unlocked for and threw shorts into a more precarious position than before. October advanced to sos and January to sos, around which figures there was considerable selling for profits Rumors that recounts of the New Orleans and Liverpool stocks usual at the end oi the season. were under way, and would also show a pronounced reduction, die much to stimulate new buying. There was very little cotton for sale at any time exceut for profits, the bears being thoroughly disorganized.
 With an adjournment of three days now close at hand and with two Government reports due next Tuesday, few traders had the courage even to stay short, lei alone put out short sales for a turn.
 The market was finally steady witt prices net 21@25 points higher.
