NEW YORK, Oct i.-Cotton futures opened quiet and firm with prices l65 points higher and for time had all the characteristics of a bull market. Shorts vert nervous and there was fair buying for Southern account, pre- sumably on the belief that the noon Govern ment report would be very unfavorable. But cable news was disappointing. weather reports were favorable from nearly all parts or the belt and commission houses were bare of busi- ness Before the close of the first hour the opening advance had been cut down to mat ter of I92 points and the rest of the fore Eoon light receipts. bad crop reports, most bullish crop condition statement of The Journal of Commerce and generally favorable trade &C., counts made little impression upon the pit contingent. Soon after noon the weekly Gov ernment report was issued and was more bull ishn than looked for. causing light covering. During the early afternoon the market was narrow and without special feature of inter est. By o'clock January had settled back to 7.ee. while late months were relatively un- der foreign selling, presumably for short ac- count. Later the room sold out and went short in anticipation of lower English market toniorfoW This selling carried pi ices to tow level of thet day. January touching 7.65. But just when scalpers appeared to have every thing their own way, Wall Street buying on a large scale set in and carried everything be- fore 1t. January reacted to .I7i. f..

FROM HISTORIC PLAcES
Leaves from the Graves of Daniel
 De Foe and Gray.
Jackson (Miss.) Clarion.

Jackson (MisS.) Clarion.
 Bishop Charles B. Galloway, the distin- guished Mississippian. whose fame is CO., extensive with civilization and Christian ity. now in London, will sail for New York on September 17th. He should reach there September 4th and arrive at his home in this city September 27th. He will receive a cordial welcome from persons of all walks of life. rich and poor. high and low. white and black. All are proud that their fellowcitizen was selected to rreach the ecumenical sermon in London.
 In letter to his friend, Mir Edgar 5. Wilson, Bishop Galloway sent him two mementos from historic ground. MT. Wil- son has permitted an extract from the Bishops letter knowing that all Missis- sippians will read it with interest. The letter is dated London. August S1st Among other things the Bishop says:
 Enclosed you will find leaf pluck ed it yesterday from tree that shades the grave'of Daniel De Foe. It is for one of your boys who has read Robinson Crusoe.' The monument over the grave was erected by the children of England.
 'The green sprig is from the yew tree in the country church-yard. under which Gray wrote his famous 'elegy' A few yards away is his grave. Underneath that church, so the book says, is the body of Edmund Burke, England's great est statesman.

WOMEN AS FELLOWS. Some Learned Societies are Asked to ~ Unbend.

AonoOn Mall.
 An infiuentially supported movement IS the learned societies in London to admit ladies to the privileges of fellowship.
 The leading spirit in this agitation IS Mrs. FarQuharson. of Haughton, who TOT years has organized a crusade against ,ss rights to which their intellectual distinc- tions entitle them.
 4 number of prominent men of science have identified themselves with the cause including Lord Avebury. Sir Michael Eos Carr. Hartog, Hillhouse. Oliver, Potter. Poulter, Somerville and Ward. One of the societies into which admis- oion as Q fellow Is sought is the celebrat- cd Linnean Society and a meeting Of this organization will be held shortly. when t ,, E s,noP hoped the desired concession will be
 Her late Majesty Queen Victoria was the patron of the society and the fellows have unbent so far as to occasionailygal- low members of the gentler sex to attend the meetings. But it was not their right to do so, only a privilege graciously granted for the single occasion.
 Still the Linnean Society treats the Ia. dies slightly better than the MicroScopi- cal Society, for, although this body elects ation, 1t does not permit them to attend the meetings. Something of the same ar rangement applies in the case of the Zo ological Society, but here full privileges as regards admission and so on to thu gardens are given to women who join thu society.
 Matters are worse again at the Geo logical Society, where a we'll known maI resigned from the council as protes against the decision that lady to whom a medal had actually been awarded should not be allowed to attend in persor II.

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


 NEW ORLEANS. Oct The feature in Liverpool today was the total spot sales of | g. GOO bales, which. while having been accom- plished at a further decline in price, tends to confirm recent opinions expressed that spin ners were holding of in order to buy cheaper. There was no change in deliveries worthy of mention. At the opening here a fair demand was attracted by The New York Journal of Commerce indicating a deterioration of points in the condition of the crop during Sep tember and this feature was supplemented by the weekly Government crop report showing the continuance of very unfavorable outlook. Picking is said to be nearing completion in many sections, while the prospects for a top crop in the Eastern belt and Texas are poor. Against the above. however, the easiness of spots appeared as material obstruction. The absence of ready buyers in that department in the face of the existing crop outlook is the foremost puzzle of the situation and serves to limit the extent of speculative support.
 At any rate, contI acts held steady with mod crate transactions. Closing quotations are about points higher than yesterday: The coming bureau report is absorbing attention at present. The unfavorable Government crop reports have attracted feeling in favor of the market, though operations in accordance herewith are deferred on account of the un- satisfactory. condition of spots The large sales in Liverpool today indicate that cotton is wanted abroad. but while liberal offerings are extended from this side it is only natural for foreigners to await cheaper prices. Some en- cotraging developments in spots is the only requisite to start material improvement.
