Murphy g. Co.'s Cotton letter.

New York, July S.-Rain reports alb
sorbed attention thds morning. but there
was little en- that ffne of importance.
Tyler, Longview, Houston, Paris and
Corpus Christi had a 1lttle moisture, and
Blackvilae had good rains, but otherwise
dry weather prevailed, except at New
Orleans Chattanooga and Savannah,
where some RAINS fell. On the whole the
moisture in Texas the past few days is
nothing to boast of. Until rain falls in
Texas of the ground soaking kind there
Is nothing to prevent a bulltsh tendency
IN the market. The crop rs undoubtedly
in bad conditionthere. The first week In July
has followed the entine month of June,
without the slightest benefit to the crop,
and while the bears are pretending to
believe the crop is in good condition and
can go without rain for a month longer,
1t is useless to disguise the fact that at
no time has 1t been so incapable Of
standing drought, and that the situation
Is such as to excite alarm. Weakness at
Liverpool was owing to exaggerated re-
ports from New York to the effect that
Texas had good rains. The consequence
here was lower opening by SQ10 points.
Bulls did not show the courage OF their
convictfons-in fact, the lack of support
was somewhat surprising when the Texas
outlook rs taken into consideration Not
only was there no rain OF consequence
to-day. but the movement forecast tndi-
Gated dry weather there. and for the ter
rbtories tonight and tomorrow. Crop
reports from other sections were mixed

Cables were steady at 3d3I5 decline from
Friday. Port receipts estimated an H.

The Morning News ONCE,
Monday, July g.. .
The spirits turpentine market had APP
n,rentiv gained enough momentum to
ave inward of it's own accord to-day,
and while it was claimed the National
ro,k and Export Company did not ex-
.ocd helping hand, 1t stood ready to do
so had the market displayed any re-
oc,ionary tendency. The opening at the
t2oard of Trade was firm at 34c, with
satisfactory sales reported, and at the
closing the price bounded up half cent,
with further sales of a round lot. The
force the bull movement had gained was
strengthened by the statistical position,
which is favorable just now for fur
tber rise with the continuance of rea-
sonabe demand. a.
While the efforts of the tank company
Is to put the market higher 1t is not IN
derstood to be it's policy to buy more
than is actually necessary to reduce the
offerings sufficiently to keep the market
in formidable position. Rumors of all
sorts were going the rounds to-day with
the company's supporters claiming the
price was to be put as high as 35c before
t.ere is any let up. Talk of this kind,
together with the fact that natural con-
ditions tended to strengthen the market
was not calculated to keep exporters out
Of the market. 1t was doubtless due to
the uneasiness created by these conditions
that they entered during the late hours
and bought with avidity, cleaning up the
whole of the offerings in factors hands.
Resins closed firm and unchanged, with
a satisfactory demand from all sources,
and the offerings taken at quotations.
The spot cotton market was again
featureless. The closing was steady and
unchanged, with moderate sales reported
from the tables. Cotton futures at New
York closed finally steady with prices
net unchanged to points lower, or
about top for the day.
owing TO uneasiness created on the
New York Stock Exchange a selling
movement started, which carried the en-
tire list off more or less. Money on call
ruled quiet at 2 to s per cent The fol-
lowing resume of the markets will show
their tone and quotations at the closing
to-day:

dun IS QUITE OPTIMISTIC.
Commercial Conditions Basis For
National Thanksgiving,
WHEAT AND CORN STILL HIGH.

New York, Nov. a5.-R. G. Dun &
Co. weekly review says:
Never before in the history of the
United States has ii had such reason
for n day of national thanksgiving.
This country has made unprecedented
strides toward a position of interna-
tional supremacy, not only in COM
merce, but also in finance. To a mark
ed degree business enterprises have
proved successful. An idle wheel in
mills or factories is the exception,
while labor is so we'll employed at high
wages that consumptive demands sus-
tain market values of all staple COM
modities. Transportation facilities
have been unable to keep pace with
the nations requirements, many COM
planning of tardy deliveries, which
alone act as brake on commercial
progress. Strength is the rule in the
markets for farm products. Favorable
weather during the closing days of
corn harvesting failed to bring any
reaction from the highest price level in
many years, and the market was
equally oblivious to Atlantic exports
for the week of only 4j0,45 bushels
against 3,S3S,666 bushels year ago.
After some weeks of gradual decline
toward a normal position, pork pro-
ducts suddenly bounded upwards, re-
gardless of weakness in live hogs.
Wheat holds at about cents above |
asst years price despite the marked
difference in size of crops. Receipts
for the week We're 5,040,4l7 bushels
against 2,606,776 bushels last year
Speculation in coffee has resumed nor
NAL proportions.
Failures for the week numbered 21s
in the United States, against 23S last
year and 81 in Canada, against 30 last

In planning for our Thanksgiving
diuner. our minds naturally recur to
the time honored dishes as roast tur-
Key, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce,
baked Indian pudding, etc, and our
feast never seems quite complies with
cut them 1t is not always possible
however. to have turkey and some
do not care for it. Roast goose, chick
en-, duck, pork, or beef may be substi-
suited for it, Another nice dish is
mock duck or pork tenderloins
baked with a bread dressing favored
Ssith herbs and onions. A menu that
is semi-old-f fashioned but usually liked
rs oyster soup, roast turkey with
mashed potatoes, turnips, baked
squash, pickles-sweet and sour-jel-
lies; a salad mince and pumpkin pie;
fruit, nuts and coffee. 1t is well to
have some kind of light pudding for
those who do not eat pie. If oysters
cannot be procured, vegetable oysters
may be substituted. Cream tomato is
favorite kind of soup.

The Thanksgiving Table

The table for the Thanksgiving din
ner should be set with the prettiest
glass, china and silver that the house
affords Little individual paper cups
with frills of orange-colored tissue pa
per, at each place would brighten the
table. These are filled with nuts and
candies. Name cards are decorated
with bow of orange ribbon or some
appropriate decoration as a pumpkin,
turkey, autumn scene, flower or leaf or
some appropriate quotation sketched in
pen and ink or painted in water color.
These Of course for family reunion
are not necessary, but they serve to
make the table decorations more pleas
ing. Gourds followed out make pretty
receptaeles for nuts. Pressed ferns and
autumn leaves also add much to the
table decorations.
