The St. Paul dividend episode was
disconcerting to a part of spectators
who had made very confident predic-
tons of an increase in the dividend,
and had bought stocks on the strength
of their belief. Their most plausible
argument was that at the time the.
st. Paul the authorities respected the
offer from Northern Pacific, which was
afterward accepted by Burlington, as
surances were given to stockholders
that they would fare as well as though
the offer had been accepted. Republic
Steel was particularly weak as an after
erect of the poor showing of the an
nual report, and Amalgamated Copper
was under conspicuous pressure all

count of the close of the fruit canning
season. Other price movements of

of little prominence.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Conditions Point to an Unfavorabie
Bunk Statement.

New York, Sept. 12.-The news from
Buffalo was practically eliminated as
an influence from the stock market to-
day for the first time since the event
of last Friday. The coming bank
statement began to loom big on the
horizon as to-morrow's preliminary fig
ures of the weeks cash movements
will allow some estimate of what the
showing will be. In the item OF loans,
however, the statement itself on Sat
urday will have to be awaited.
Apparently there can be no escape
from a weak statement on both scores.
The banks have lost cash on the in
terror movement during the week, but
the drain on the sub-treasury has
been sensibly diminished. Large pay
ments have been made to the banks on
account of Australian and Klondike
gold, and the diversion of internal rev.
enue receipts into bank deposits is
apparently beginning to affect the ac-
count with the government institution.
The increase in government deposits
from this source is to be distributed
ultimately among banks throughout
the country that have bonds with the
treasury to secure them. But the bulk
of the payments to the government
are made in New York banks. having
what are called live accounts" with
the government, and so may affect the
showing of the banks this week. The
acceptances by the Secretary of the
Treasury of tenders of government
bonds were not known after the mar
ket closed to-day, and the payments
for these bonds are too late to figure
in this weeks bank statement anyhow.
Yesterdays feeling of skepticism of
the efficacy of this measure to give
such relief to the money market as
would benefit speculation in stocks was
deepened to-day and the additional
sharp rise in the bid prices of govern
ment bonds on call increased, the
doubt as to tenders being made at
prices at which the secretary would be
inclined to accept in any large amount.
The expressed unwillingness of the
secretary to offer any considerable
bonus to owners of bonds to induce
them to sell, Influenced this feeling,
which was a considerable factor in the
heaviness and uncertainty which per-
vaded the market all day.

New Yorh. Sept 12.-Foreign markets
rallied to the lead of our improvement
of yesterday, which, coupled with the
destruction of about 5000 bales by fire
last night. gave steady opening at
shade better quotations. Selling
against yesterdays purchases in the
South supplied this demand on which
the quotations slowly eased. Trans
actions are on a smaller scale as spec
ulation is dormant and the temper OF
the market is against anticipating any
serious decline. Yesterdays reaction
after the decline since the beginning of
September was a natural one. Values
will now be governed by the offerings
from the South and the action of the
spinners. Our home spinners have
better demand for their output. Euro
pean spinners are still suffering from
the depression on the continent. The
local temper is in favor of purchases
on all weak moments based on the light
movement and the chance of damage
to the crop from some equinoctial
storm.

corroborating the advices received
from spinners relative thereto. Re-
cent advices from drought sections of
Texas are to the effect that the rains
prevalent for the past ten or fifteen
days, have put new growth on the
plant, which will add materially TO the
yield with a late fall. Weather con-
ditions on the whole have been fav
orable throughout the belt and the re-
ports now being received are more OPP
timistic in character. With the fine
picking weather generally. the proba-
bility is receipts will soon increase, and

The spot cotton market closed quiet
to-day at a decline of 1Sc, with sales
of 227. Conditions were not calculated
to stimulate activity among buyers,
who looked for further recessions as a
result of the drop at Liverpool and
New York. Hence a waiting attitude
was general among the trade. For
cotton for TO. b. shipment a fairly good
demand prevailed. and sales of several

Thursday, Sept. IL.
The effect of bearish influences which
developed early to-day caused the cot
ton futures market at New York to
take sharp tumble. the closing be-
ing barely steady with prices net Z to
10 points lower. Rains were reported in
sections of Texas which have been suf-
fering greatly for moisture, and the
probability of much larger yield
expected, barring early frosts, tended
to impart a weakening tendency to
the market. Spots were comparatively
steady, with limited demand prevail
ing. Savannah closed quiet &c lower.
Spirits of turpentine closed firm at
SAC, a decline of Nc below yesterday,
with the undertone quiet and tendency
for lower prices. The demand seems
to be lacking at present. Factors re-
ported very moderate inquiry all day,
and the effect was very unfavorable
and calculated to open the way for
concessions when asked for. 1t was
not understood, however, that any
business was done after the closing on
any other than the officials basis.

the advance. The following resume of

GOOD THING FOR WALKERS.
Much Comfort May he Derived from
Wearing German Army Foot
Covering.

The best foot covering in the
world for men who have to walk
about in all sorts of places" said n
professional hunter in the employ of
a local market man, reports the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, is the
cloth used in the German army in
place of socks. \ friend of mine sent
me a couple of samples last fall, and
l gave them a thorough trial The
result is that I'm never going to
wear anything else when I'm out on
a hunt. The cloth is made of medium
weight wooleu goods and is about
the size and shape of an old-fash
ioned red bandanna handkerchief. 1t
is simply folded about the foot and
then tied around the ankle with
piece of tape. AT first blush" the
hunter went on, that would seem TO
be very uncomfortable arrange
ment, and l felt certain that the
'creases would make the thing tor
ment to wear but | can only say that
they do nothing of the kind.
"Of course, a great deal depends
upon the way the cloth is folded. and
l found, after some experimenting.
that the best scheme was to place
the foot in the center and then cross
the sides diagonally over the top of
the instep. Drawing up the back
completed sort of rough moccasin,
which the tape kept firmly in posi-
tion. / wore an extra large shoe and
never felt 4 crease. The principal
advantages of the foot cloth over
socks are these: When a hole is worn
in it all one has to do is to make
slight shift; then it is very easy to
wash, and if il gets wet it can be
spread out and dried in a few mo-
ments at camp fire. Ali these are
important considerations on a hunt,
when man may be in the woods
and marches for week or more and
can't afford to be incumbered with
much besides cartridges. I'm sur
prised that the cloth hasn't become
well known and popular long ago.
Hereafter | shall be the Jerry Simp-
son of the shotgun fraternity"
