ern Pacific blow. followed by the strike
and the corn crop failure, effectually
stopped any further speculative excess
es. These events, coming when they
did. caught principally the big af-
fluent combination holders of stocks,
as many of the important deals which
they had under way were still incom-
plete. Hence the market has been al
lowed to drift gradually downwards to
meet the changed conditions, all sharp
declines meeting naturally under the
circumstances with strong inside sup
port, so that public confidence should
be not too much disturbed. Prices of
many railroad stocks are still high,
judged by the dividends which they
return, and by the fact that general
business activity has touched highwa-
ter mark. But this is not the only in
fiuence. controlling values at present;
tor it should be remembered that the
entire railroad system of the United
States is passing through a process of
Capitalization that has a most import
ant bearing upon values.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Stocks and Cotton Quiet hut Higher
Grain Markets Lose Early Advance.

Stocks and Cotton Quiet hut Higher.
Grain Markets Lose EARLY Advance.
There was not much doing in the
stock market, the transactions being
mainly local and professional. A gem
orally firmer feeling prevailed, after a
little opening weakness, due to the
poor crop report. This firmness was
caused by the idea that crops had
improved somewhat after Aug. 1, and
also by the impression that the strike
would prove less formidable than had
been previously apprehended. Among
the railroads st. Paul was the leader,
with a rise of about 10 points, followed
by Union Pacific with 6. About all
roads sympathized more or less. On
the part of the industrials the feature
was a well-sustained advance of Is
points in General Electric on small
sales. Gas and steel stocks were also
prominently firm. Toward the latter
part of the week the market turned
dull and heavy again, and in most
cases a large part of the early gains
was lost. The close was inactive with
a downward tendency, the bank state
ment being responsible, and optimistic
predictions regarding the strike set
tlement falling to materialize.
Cotton was very dull, ruling steady
to firm, however, and closing at net
advance of about 10 points, January
7.45c. Crop accounts are better in this
section, but elsewhere they seem less
favorable, especially in Texas, where ii
is now said the prospects are for 1,000,-
600 bales less than last year. If this es-
innate is correct, the total can hardly
exceed, if 1t equals, that of last year;
in which event it is reasonable to ex-
pect cotton to advance a cent or so as
the season opens. AT any rate, there
appears little or nothing in the existing
situation to justify selling short at cur
rent prices. The long side seems the
safer.
The grain markets were excited early
in the week, with prices some &c higher
Toward the middle of the week prices
fell some &c, with a subsequent moder-
ate recovery. Wheat is finally un-
changed at 1880 for December. Corr
is a small fraction higher at 6O%c. The
stimulating effects of the sensationally
bullish government crop report would
appear specifically to have been very
quickly dissipated, but the report car
scarcely have failed to have an under
foundation of strength to the market
regardless of temporary fits of weak
ness occasioned by speculative short
selling or realizing. Wheat, therefore
being relatively much the cheapest, ap-
pears on all easy spots a good invest
ment for a handsome profit.

BURIED AT DEAD OF NIGHT.
Midnight Interment During Stress
of the Civil Wnr.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
Only one Confederate general was
buried at night time, so far as the rec
ords tell, and that was Gen. Henry
Little, who was laid to rest in a gar
den at Iuka, Miss, at midnight, Sept.
10, 1862. Capt. Frank Won Phul of this
city was present at the weird, pathetic
ceremony, and a few nights ago he re-
lated the thrilling old war incident to
few friends who had gathered in his
apartment on Rampant street.
"To the best of my knowledge no one
has ever written just how Gen. Henry
Little was buried on that eventful
night" began Capt. Won Phul, turning
the pages of a treasure book. 81 shall
never forget 1t, and although I was in
several phases of the service with Price
on his Missouri raid and down the Mis-
sissippi, yet the way we laid Gen.
Little in the cold ground that night.
cautiously and hastily, will cling to me
until the last.
Eve were mostly Missourians, and in
order to appreciate the scene enacted
at Iuka, Miss, you must follow me
from the start, which was in st. Louis,
in the year 1860. Gen. Sterling Price
went out in the command of the Mis-
Brig. Gen. Little was placed in COM
mand of a brigade of the First Mis-
souri, We were sworn in on Sock riv-
err, down in Missouri, and II was for a
three years term. Well, there was
plenty of fighting all down the river,
and we were in a number OF engage
ments, but my story centers about CO.
ninth and Iuka, Miss. Iuka Springs
was a little place, and 1t was there that
the enemy attacked us In overpowering
numbers. Rosecrans was bearing down
upon Gen. Price with his whole army.
The first battle of Iuka had taken
place on this direful Sept. 10, 1862. /
was an aide-de- camp on Gen. Little's
staff, and 1t was only Littles division
that had been engaged In the days
fighting. II was a hard struggle and
we had lost somewhere near 500 men
when the fighting ceased near shutdown.

Gates, who was wanted to reinforce
Little. The four generals-Price, Little,
Herbert and Whitfield-were sitting on
their horses in the road holding a con-
sultation as to whether they should at
tack the enemy on the morrow or fall
back, when l rode up from summoning
Col. Gates.
Gen. Price was sitting at rest on his
charger, his arms akimbo with his
back toward the lines of the Yankees.
Gen. Little was facing him. Just as
reached the spot a mimic ball came
whizzing through the group, passing
under the arm of Gen. Price and strik-
ing Gen. Little squarely in the fore
head. He threw up his arms, the reins
dropping to the horses neck and the
brave man, limp and lifeless, fell into
the arms Of a comrade. He was borne
away to his headquarters, a small cot
tage in the center of the town OF IuKa.
Going to the headquarters of Gen.
Price a little later, l said: General,
what shall 1 do with Gen. Little's
body?'
"'My Little; my Little; I've lost my
Little!' was the reply, and the lines Of
sorrow were like burrows on his brow
General said. after a moments
hesitation. what shall do with Gen.
Little's body?'
My Little; I've lost my Little; my
only Little
II waited again, and once more tried:
Gen. Price what shall do with Gen.
Titles body?'
my Little is gone; I've lost my Lit
tle!'
That was the only reply could get
from Gen. Price. He was almost crazed
with grief and I don't believe he knew
what was asking him.
Going down the steps. met Col
Tom Sneed, the adjutant OF Gen. Price,
and asked him. He told me he would
see Price and would come over to o1r
headquarters after a while.
at was about 10 o'clock at night
when he came. They had held a con-
sultation in the meantime, and decided
to retreat from Iuka. Gen. Price want
ed to fight, but Gen. Herbert and the
others said the death of Little had so
completely demoralized the soldiery
that they believed they would not fight
with, any spirit So II was decided to
retreat at daylight.
"'Gen. Idttles body must be buried
at once said Gen. Price to me, com
ing over to our headquarters; for we
retreat before the dawn.

tence upon those who would buy
heaven by offerings of gold and silver.
To disgrace earth by them in preten-
tious charities is thing that the lines
of honesty and justice will eventually
make impossible, for the moment that
the rich man learns to deal fairly by
the poor man, the latter will have no
further need of his charities. 1t is, of
course, toward this heavenly consum-
nation that the present movement
against indiscriminate benevolence
looks. But meantime, while that con-
summation seems about as far of as
the Millennium, is it best to let all the
plucked pigeons perish?

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
wall street.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE crop situa-
ton is still a subject of much concern.
Heavy damage to the corn crop must
be conceded; but it is altogether too
early to form any reliable opinions of
the exact yield. and 1t is doubtful If
the highly pessimistic accounts lately
circulated will be realized. More or
less Improvement has taken place dur
ing the last ten days, mad IL must be
borne in mind that the early damage
renorts were much exaggerated.
The course of the market for the last
few weeks, though disappointing to
overconfident bulls, is easily explained.
Prices were exceedingly high In June
and July and might have been carried
stIll higher had not the speculative few
err met with timely check. The North

The number Of men wearing leathe

The number of men wearing leather
bracelets is increasing. Some call them
leather cuffs, some leather wristbands.
They are supposed to be protection
for weak joints and soft bones, but
they remind one of the boots that trot-
tiers wear on their pasterns. Many ath-
letes are addicted to the bracelet habit.
Possibly there is a superstition with It
that Il keeps off diseases, as there Is
with the buckskin worn on the ankle
to prevent govt, and the red string
about the waist TO cure rheumatism.

"Our Children in Peril" by Elizabeth
Stone Worthington. Cubery & Co,
publishers, 5S7 Mission street, San
Francisco. Paper cover, % cents.
There are many thoughts in this little
booklet that parents would find of
great benefit in training children. The
author is a well-known writer who
studies thoroughly the subjects which
she treats.
when the Land Was Young" being
the true romance of Mistress Antoi-
nette Huguenin and Captain Jack Mid
dleton in the Days of the Buccaneers,
by Lafayette McLaws. Bound in green
cloth, illustrated cover, gilt top, rough
edges. Seven drawings by Will Craw-
ford. Size 7%x5. Price, $3.50. The 10th
rop Publishing Company, Boston,
Mass. Among the entertaining ro-
mances that are based upon the colo
NAL days Of American history this nov
ell will take rank as one of the most
notable. Capt. Jack Middleton of the
Carolina colony attempts to rescue his
neighbor Col. Huguenin, a French
Protestant, from the Spaniards of St.
Augustine to whom the Yemasees had
delivered him captive. While on this
search the Colonel's daughter Antoin-
cite Huguenin is also captured by
Spaniards and taken prisoner to st.
Augustine. Middleton with the help of
Lumulgee, the war chief of the Choc-
taws, releases Antoinette and her ia
Their. but is himself overpowered, cap
tured and hung in the death-cage on
the sea wall. Antoinette saves him, and
he is carried off by a buccaneer cap
tain of Sir Henry Morgans fleet. On
the ship he finds young French count
who seems the double of Antoinette,
but who is as reckless a young blood
as any in the vessel. After many ad-
ventures and sea fights, they reach the
pirate stronghold on HiSpaniola, and
through many strange happenings and
many startling developments, includ-
ing the storming and capture of Cha
gres and the favor of Sir Henry Nor
gan, the romance ends In Versailles in
the palace of King Louis the Great.
The tale Is picturesque in location, en-
vironment, and action; charming in
detail and motive; dramatic in meth
cd; and altogether absorbing in plot
and surprises. The hero is a real man;
the heroine is one of the most attrac-
tive figures in romance; while Lumul-
gee, the great war chief of the Choc-
taws, and Sir Henry Morgan, the Buc-
cancer Knight and terror of the Span
ish Main, divide the honors with hero
and heroine. Against an historical
background Miss McLaws has thrown
a story that is dramatic and brilliant.
