Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, Sept. 21.-Interest in the stock market in the early dealings was mostly centered around Amalgamated Copper. The directors of the company de- clared the usual dividend last evening. The dealings in copper were of tremen- dous volume and the stock showed an ex- treme decline at. the opening of over 6 points. From this figure there was a fairly sharp recovery but the movements in the stock continued exceedingly un- settled and feverish. The rest of the market opened lower but for the most part within fractional limits. The active features of the railway list were South ern, Erie, Pennsylvania, Union Pacific and the Atchison shares.
 London sent in a lower range of prices for our stocks and was a fair liberal seller upon the opening of business There was no particular news over night bearing upon the market or particular stocks apart from the copper dividend Expectations were again general that the bank statement would make a good showing. After the initial dealings the general market developed slightly firmer tone and trading showed a dispo- sition to cut away from the wild fiuctua- tions in copper.

ferings readily, and a slight rally in prices followed. While conditions in for eign markets, as reported, are not con- ducive to an extended improvement in prices, yet the statistical position of cot ton is beyond dispute rather healthy and the crop outlook thus far Is anything but ilatterdng The movement of cotton con tinues light and indicates a disposition on the part of country holders to ex- ercise more moderation In selling. Il may be well, therefore, not to be greatly per suaded by the pessirnltic views Issuing from foreign markets especially consid- ering the fact that large crop ealeula- tions are taken Into account. Under ex- isting circumstances, any improvement in trade conditions either at home or abroad, would exert a very stimulating effect on prices.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 21.-The mar ket for spot cotton was quiet during the short hours today, the total sales record ed including about 200 bales, sold after hours yesterday being but $50 bales of spots and 750 bales to arrive. Buyers were not very active. The break in con tracts and the apparent apathy at Liver pool had the effect of causing them to hold off for concessions and bids were as a rule well below the board level Quo- tations unchanged. There was a fair amount of trading In January contracts and some little business doing In October and December futures today and apart from those positions there appeared to be little interest for operators in the market for future deliveries during the short session. The course of values was in the net, result, favorable to the short element. The market showed first call losses of nine to thirteen points working gradually back with occasional down. ward fluctuations to a range but eight to ten points below yesterdays mark at the close.

successful idea to secure the interment
In the new cemetery of congressman who
passed away while serving their country
IN the then malarious climate of Wash
lngton, and that it would give this NOR
tuary site distinction above ordinary bury
ing grounds.
So 400 burial sites were set apart for the
Tree lhterment of congressman dying away
form home, and the place was named the
congressional Cemetery. In those DAYS 1t
was impossible to transport body long
distances without great expense and
troupIe, and the purchasing of burial lots
was expensive, so the privilege thus ex-
tended was readily accepted. The funer-
ais were conducted with imposing ceremo-
MES ana the departed solons were laid
away with pomp and circumstances in the
spaces specially allotted and set spart for
them.
As methods of transportation improved
however, with the years, and the families
of the deceased found opportunity to take
the bodies home for interment the nrac-
tice fell into disuse and ultimately a law
was enacted providing that a cenotaph
should be erected in the cemetery to every
congressman who died in the harness. and
for number of years this custom was
followed, so that many of the monuments
merely stand in memory of the congress-
men without actually marking the burial
site. .
In 1876 law was enacted providing that
no cenotaph should be erected unless in
terment was made in the cemetery and
there has not been a burial of a congress-
man in the plot since that year. AS the
congressional functions of the cemetry
seem to have lapsed. the trustees are now
asking the government to deed to them
the remainder of the 400 lots that they
may be sold for ordinary burial lots, and
this will probably be done by the next
Congress
The cenotaphs are plain blocks of ma
sorry covered with cement to withstand
the ravages of the elements. Each is in
scribed with the name of the dead man,
the state he represented in the House or
Senate, and the date of his death Some
of the inscriptions are now illegible, but
the Oldest one deciphered is on cenotaph
in memory of Andrew p. Butler. a sena-
tor from the state of South Carolina, who
died in 1896 AS stated, all the cenotaphs
are of uniform size and shape, except in
two instances. One is marble monument
