To the Editor OF the feSlslei.
With air aristocratic and in language
diplomatic, the president arose
to explain. His remarks were as
follows Brother bloated bond
holders of the United States Be
nevolent Association, we have met
here in this well furnished parlor
at the Waldorf Astoria for the express
purpose of finding out where we are at.
Our purse is long, but time is feetlng.
The dear public is aware that our Be
nevolent Society has two hundred MIL
lions of dollars, which we can easily
spare to bolster up our stock. Gentle
men, you have more money than two
banks, while am the pround possess
or of one hundred thousand dollars and
a wagon load of spending money. we
did not form a combination of capital
lists with one billion dollars to make
and sell steel for the benefit
of our health, nor to do an
act of charity towards the
consumer, though the title of our
firm may intimate that much. ITO be
honest CD with you we are in the bus
mess for the Almighty dollar as
Washing Irving well termed it. The
stock which we hold in the United
States Benevolent Corporation consists
mostly of water, and the tank leaks in
which we keep our stock. The rascally
steel strikers are to be blamed for
most of the damage done to the tank
by keeping the union mills idle simply
because we wish to make them all non
union, and they, poor foolish creatures,
thinking they are right, are doing their
level best to organize our pet plants
and cause them to hoist the true blue
unions colors, believing that in union
there is strength. Should this leakage
continue much longer the large as we'll
as the small fish may be landed high
and dry. Gentlemen, | shall repeat
that those sheet steel strikers are caus-
ing our hard-earned coin of the realm
and as desperate diseases require des-
perate remedies, we must crush the
Amalgamated Association out of exist
ence or in the near future we shall
have nothing except watered stock.
There is an old maxim that "competi-
ton is the life of trade" Now in our
day and generation the saying should
be reversed to competition is the
death of trade" for we have to com
pete with the Independent sheet mills

ing to so many of our plants beng idle

to the Benevolent Corporation.
One of the bitter st foes the Sheet
Steel Corporation las is Senator Whit
aker, of the Creek mill, Wheeling w.
Va, for When one of our officials ap-
preached BIN in regard to selling out
his works to the -, | almost said
trust, out mean our Society for Benev-
olent purposes; he said: mo. sir!
Rather than sell my rolling mill to the

Of him for such expressions. however.

OF that vast throng of anxious human
ity, many of whom had stakef their
all on this drawing, twelve out Of every
thirteen were bound to be disappoint-
ed, the humor OF the circumstance and
its apt suggestion struck ali at the
same instant, and great shout won't
up from the waiting multitude: They
must marry"
There is nothing but congratula-
lions for the lucky ones, although the
disappointment to the vast majority
must be sad and bitter.
The new method of drawing is emil
nently successful, and this disappoint-
ment can hardly take the form OF dis
order and lawlessness. which have

some cases. each corner of quarter
section had its occupant who claimed
the right to the entire 100 acres. Blood
shed was a frequent occurrence. 10
the strong was the battle
As our contemporary points out, by
the new method weak and strong are
on an equal footing. Persons who have
registered may hear Of their luck while
at home. By far the greater number
of those who have registered are OF
this class. Kansas and Oklahoma fur
nished the largest quota of prospective
settlers. Thousands who are eligible
did not spend more than four or five
hours at Ell Reno or Lawton, returning
to their homes without losing more
than a days time. When the drawing
shall designate the successful ones,
the submission of the ordinary legal
proofs will effectually do away with
contests, either physical or legal. Law
yers will not have as great field for
action in the new country as they did
after Oklahoma established itself as
Territory The new method, while
having it's disadvantages, especially in
increasing the number of applicants, is
far better than the old rush 1t makes
for peace where the law was formerly
ignored"

PATaKDRSBURG, w. Va, July 30
The Ellis Glenn jury reported this after
noon, after three days Jeltberation, shat
it was utterly unable to agree upon a
verdict and it was discharged. Several
times during the day the jury had re-
ported it's inability to agree, but had
each time been sent back for further
elaboration. Once further instructions
were asked as to what was reasonable
doubt and as to the proof necessary to
prove forgery. The court gave instruc-
lions upon tue former question, but said
the jury alone was to pass on the lat
ter. 1t was evident that part of the
jury felt that Glenn's identity was not
proven beyond a reasonable doubt and
that a part of it felt that the forgery
was not proven clearly enough. The
jury stood seven for conviction and five
for acquital Glenn's bond was en-
larged till next Thursday, when a new
one will be given.

Cotton Letter.


 c. W. Lees Cotton Letter to H. D. Coth-
 ran & Co.
 New York, October 25.--DurinK the early dealings cotton broke badly on stop or- ders. and then shot up B points, with as little apparent reason. In the advance selling took place so that part of the gain was lost and prices showed no material change for the day. In many respects the market was more irregular and the trade more confused than at any time this sea- son.
 Every one seemed to look for a bad break and no one cared to buy. Men who looked for ten million bales this year month ago reported estimates of Il, 800, 900 bales. Every one appeared to be at sea over the question. With fine weather everywhere and no immediate prospects of frosts and the movement enormous, operators were rather bearish. No ad- vance of importance was looked for, md yet when the market was weakest buying carried January from 769 to TSP in an hour. With only 29,000 bales of contract cotton here and southern spot markets holding very firm, it is hard to see how cotton can be attracted to this city on a declining market. If stocks run down much further there Is likely to be some trouble in this city should shorts attempt to cover.
 As 1t is, the outlook favors a steadier market.
 Prices have declined half cent in the last ten days, and the market Is weak enough to suffer a change through Q change of weather or a falling off In re- ceipts. The great drawback Is the good weather. After frosts have taken place everywhere and the movement Is under way, some idea of the crop is likely. Until then an irregular, uncertain and heavy market is to be expected, and one to buy only on severe declines. There is no cer- tainty about the course of prices at this season of the year. No one knows what the crop Is and will not for some weeks. We expect the low prices of the fall to be between this and the middle of No- vember. There can hardly be bull mar ket for the present, but we cannot ad- wise short selling under the circum- stances.

Few York Cotton Futures. By Private Wire to H. D. Cothran & Co.
Murphy & coz Stock Letter.

New York, October 25.-The leading features of the market today were St. Paul and Union Pacific. The support given to them at the start served to steady the entire list and to renew the bullish sentiment which showed some signs of Tagging near the close yesterday. Baltimore and Ohio continued strong on rumors of an increased dividend and gossip as to future melon cutting Coal CTS were strong in the morning on ex- cellent advices concerning the condition of trade, but after realizing sales carried 1t down per cent. In the afternoon con- siderable irregularity was developed in prices but there was very heavy trading in St. Paul at a maximum advance of 3 per cent Although there is no definite information with regard to the North western situation, gossip was busy with stories that an agreement had been re- ported by which Union Pacific was to re- ceive control of St. Paul. The course of Union Pacific, however, failed to reflect an appreciation of this reported acquisi- ton. It appeared to come out on all rallies and prices closed little changed from yesterday. There. was evidence of prof1t-taking in Great Western common but preferred were materially higher among the special movement of today, material advances in Ann Harbor pre- ferred, Iowa Central preferred and Wis consin Central. Peoples Gas reflected the Illinois courts decision by loss or PA per cent but recovered a point before the close. Another feature of irregularity was a decline in Northern Pacific pre- ferred of 2 per cent, followed by a re- covery of one half loss. In the indus trials Amalgamated Copper was heavy. Pressed Steel Car preferred advanced sharply on the satisfactory earnings re- ported by the company. Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad lost about all of an early advance. Glucose common rallied per cent on covering of shorts, but it's net gain was only l per cent In the late trading the preferred sold per cent lower than last night. Consolidated Gas declined on adverse decisions of Illinois Supreme Court. The general market closed heavy with irregular and fitful movements in the late dealings. Govern ment bonds were unchanged. Railroad bonds strong. Total sales stocks today 645, 900 shares.

Then New York came as a buyer of the Coal CTS, notably Norfolk and Western and New York Ontario and Western. The latter was assisted by a revival of the old story of contemplated amalgama- ton with the New York Central. Union Pacific was active, but finally lost it's strength.
