National Salt recovered U points of yesterdays K loss on three transactions The late rally seemed to be entirely to cov- ering by shorts and was made in spite of the promise of only a moderately favorable bank statement. The interior move nent of cur rency during the week has again been very heavy, so that the gain on oint of Govern rent bond purchases and Australian gold has been almost offset. It is hoped that the liql- dation in the stock market will be reflected in a loan contraction, as no. special operations in the money market are known which would off- set this influence, unless 1t might be renewed borrowing from the local banks of the loans to foreign lenders. which are being constantly liouidated, as reflected in the sustained strength of the foreign exchange market The stock market closed quite active and strong at the recovery.

R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 4.-Whatever opinions may be on this side of the Government Bureau as an authority on the American cotton crop, the fact is evident that its prestige has been duly established abroad. The occasions rather rare when Liverpool changes l0-64 over night and the advance of 1864 today was undoubtedly much, if not better. response than an, reasonable bull could have expected. Cables ytated that spnners' anxiety was in- creasing over the small supplies in view and bears were wavering. glance at the Liver pool weekly cotton statement showing that the total stock of cotton in that market only exceeds last years by 5000 bales leaves the impression that today's course was fully justi- fled. unceremoniously as it happened. Trading here was characterized by due conservatism. notwithstanding that the weeks statistics promised to be very bullish, longs sold heavily to realize profits. the effect of which was slight recession from top prices, though of fer ings on the whole were fairly well absorbed.
 Closing quotations 2M6 points higher than yesterday It is difficult to perceive where Liverpool shorts can derive any comfort from the statistical developments this week.
 The amount of cotton in sight is 7S. 900 bales less than last year and the visible sup ply of American cotton is 6l 900 bales less than last year at this time when prices BIO per bale higher. It is quite probable there fore that a better foreign demand will be in order. which the country will doubtless meet to dispose of early receipts and in such a process it will be severe task to force a de- cline If subsequent indications point to the correctness of the Bureaus representation of the crop condition.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
sKuEroNs FOUND.


The remains Of two persons were found
on the city dump. just north OF Fargo.
One was almost . skeleton. while the
other was in an advanced state OF de-
composition. There was no evidence that
an attempt had been made to bury the
bodies. AZ they seem to have been thrown
on the top Of the rubbish.
The man at the dump makes the rounds
daily. and had not seen the bodies till
this morning. leaving the impression that
they were left there last night, or IT least
within . day or two.
There was no clothing or other means
OF Identification The first theory was
that murder had been committed, but il
was later discovered that the tops Of the
skulls Of both bodies were missing. as II
sawed OF. and the conclusion is that the
remains had been used for dissecting pur-
poses. with especial study of the brain.
An investigation by local oficials leaves
little doubt but that the bodies Of the
two men found at the garbage grounds
had been used for dissection The skulls
had been carefully sawed apart. and
there were other evidence of the use Of
the scalpel. Owing to the fact that there
is no medical college here. there Is con-
siderable speculation as to where the re-
mains came from. and some private prac-
titioners are suspected.
There is considerable indignation over
the method of disposing of the remains.
and some speculation as to where they
were originally secured.

Two days later. in Edinburgh, they
held great meeting in the Free As.
sembly hall. As DR.. Bonar finished,
Mr.. Moody leaned over the pulpit and
asked the singer if he had not solo
for the occasion. The thought Of the
verses he had read in the penny paper
came to Mr.. Sankey's mind. and, open
ing his scrapbook, in which he had
pasted the clipping, he placed it before
him on the organ. and, after moment
of silent supplication, struck full
chord and began to sing. And note
by note came the now famous song.
He composed it as he went along. What
he sang was the JOY that swelled in
his own soul, hope that was born, the
love for those who needed help. Thus
he finished the first stanza.
Then. as he paused and played a few
chords, waiting to begin again. the
thought came to him: '.Can / sing the
second stanza as did the frzt7 Can
remember the notes?" And concen-
trating his mind once more for the eff
fort. he began to sing. So he went on
through for FIVE stanzas and after the
services he put the melody in music.

DURABLE TILE OUTLET.

About four or FIVE feet of tile should
be covered with coarse gravel to
within six or eight inches of the sur
face, so the plow will not strike the
stone. This will let the water off
freely, yet keep the soil in good
shape. A large stone should be placed
at the end of the tile.
The outlet should also be kept
clean of roots and bars of netting SO
placed that the vermin may be kept
out. If this is done and the tile prop
erly laid. water will have easy going
and the farmer will go his way re-
joicing instead of ''cussing" the tile
which he thought was too small

Fertili..tlo. Of Flover..

Insects are necessary to the fert;l-
ization of most flowers; aud were it
not for insects, especially honey bees,
many of the crops We now have would
be wanting. There are a good many
flowers that produce pollen that has
no means of getting from flower 60
flower except by the medium Of an
sects. On the other hand, some plants
throw off great quantities of pollen
without the help Of the insects. Prof.
James Fletcher relates that when in
British Columbia some people came to
him and asked him to explain show
er of sulphur that had apparently fall
len during the preceding night. He
assured them that there had been no
shower of sulphur, but that what
looked like sulphur was in reality the
pollen of pine trees.
