Fences Must Come Down.

Denver, Aug. S.-A. f. Leach, special
agent of the general land office at
Washington, who is now in Denver
says that fences around government
land must now come down and stay
down. 10 reporter he said:
THE government made the order
some time ago and on the first of the
year emphasized 1t, but recent instruc-
tions have been given which make 1t
imperative that the fences shall come
down. The government has the power
to impose fine of 500 on any person
who fences in government land, but
there has never been an attempt made
to enforce this. Now. however. If the
fences do not come down we will en-.
force this provision. This state has a
great deal of government land fenced
in and 1t will take some time to be
sure that these fences are all down. |

Children and Keep Twenty-Five.

South Haven, Mich. Aug 7.-Mr.

twenty-five are not all infants. Some

never been born to them.
To please his wife. Shandrow wrote

them in case he should want to adopt

 NARROWS DOWN Only Few Got Away from Close
 of Previous Night SOME SUGAR SPECULATION There Were Disclosures of Recent Ru- mors of Compromise Amongst the Warning Copper Factions-The
 Close Was Very Dull. 
SOME SUGAR SPECULATION

New York, December s.-Today's trans- actions in stocks were smaller than those of yesterday. Only a few got as much as a point away from the close last night at any time during the day. There was a slight advance in the morning in sym pathy with special movements in one or two stocks, but a reaction in the artef- noon carried the level below last night all around and the market closed easy but very dull Quite an active speeuia- ton in sugar was the principal influence in saving the days dealings from actual stagnation. This was accounted Tor py the announcement during the day or an advance in refined sugars. After tnis announcement the stock relapsed. There were disclaimers of recent rumors or compromise amongst the warning copper factions and late reaction in the Lon don copper market today combined to cause A reaction in amalgamated. The movement of these two stocks han an important sympathetic effect upon the whole market, owing to the preponder- ance of the dealings in them. In the late weakness Louisville was eonsplcu- ous for a drop to 11k below last night. Today's developments in the money mar ket offered no prospect of early relief and until that prospect appears, no re- vival in speculation Is expected. The sub treasury took from the market s1, HS,o0t, bringing it's total absorption since the last bank statement up to s2,bS400O. The sub-treasury also had credit at the clearing house this morning, indicating continued drain from the money market. Late in the day rumors were current without confirmation of further ship ment of gold to be made to South Amer ica. Todays sterling exchange market here was firm in spite of additional offer tngs of loan bills and another days large foreign demand, both for wheat ana cot ton, but the sterling rate at Paris re- mained 1h centimes, thus raising the gold export level of sterling.

The difh- culties of borrowers, of course, vary with the grade of their credit and of their collateral.

Murbhy a Co.'S cotton Letter.

New York, December 9.-Cotton Is be- ginning to attract attention once more. mainly because of the moderate move ment, Talking the extreme estimates so far promulgated. we find an average not much over 100000. and these figures fail to be looked upor as quite full until 1t shall appear that there is more cotton to come forward than now appears prob able. After all, the only guide for esti- mating the size of the crop is the move ment up to the middle of December. Pre- vious to that date all sorts of ridiculous explanatlons are offered for the move ment being small or heavy, but we find that the receipts are usually a true index of the size of the crop.
 This fall the explanation Is that there Is a scarcity of cars. a scarcity of labor and the holdings in the interior, just as we always hear when the movement falls to reach expectations. Our belief is that the car famine talk will prove this sea- son to be the grossest exaggeration ever circulated by the bear clique, and that this will be proven when the final figures are presented.
 Thus confirming views of exhaustion are entertained in most conservative

Cotton Letter,


 New York. December s.-The market opened up this morning and for half an hour ruled very steady. There was too much cotton for and too little wanted to head prices, so the prices declined shafply March sold. from s.2l to s1A
 The price was not an attractive one, notwithstanding the light receipts, so commission houses orders were limited, and the average pit trader was more inclined to sell on the bulge than to buy. A lot of cotton bought yesterday on the theory that light receipts would run in some shorts was sold this morning, and this helped weaken the price. There was nothing in the way of news to stimulate the market and the market was not stimulated.
 One weakening factor was the selling of January. This option failed to ad- vance with May and March early, but broke sharply later. There seems to be a general disposition on the part of Jan uary holders to liquidate. There will be large quantity rendered to holders of January and holders do not seem so anxious to take the cotton as they ad- vertised early in the session. While re- ceipts were small this seems to have had no influence on the various crop es- inmates, and as long as this continues no active speculation in cotton is looked for,
 Then too, the silver question is having a depressing effect with the east: 1t may be that instead of the consumption of cotton being larger, the total may prove smaller than last year; if this trouble with silver lasts this is more than prob 1 able. It Is inevitable that with a pros pect of more cotton and the possibility of less demand there can hardly be much of a bull market at the moment. For this reason we say, take advantage of every advance to sell on.
