SOMETHING ABOUT SETTLERS.

Some of the readers of .he Leader
who follow closely what is said about
the segregation Of lands under the Ca
rey act, explain that they do not ex-
actly understand one thing, that is,
now a settler can get a possessory
claim on any Of these lands unless he
waits until after the order has been
made segregating them and then steps
In and secures some sort of a right to
occupy III improve the lands.
NOW. the answer to this idea and
objection is a very simple one-he
takes his land under the state land
act and pays 10 much an acr for it.

vices were disappointing, tut our mar
ket nevertheless opened 2 to ) points
higher and improved ) additional, clos
ing at a net gain Of 5 10 i points on The
day. The firmness apparent here to-
day was in sympathy with the March
manipulation going on in New York.
Port receipts for the day we're practical
y the same as last year, but the interior
town movement was large, being 5000
over last week and 81, 900 over last year.
Bombay receipts for the week were 1900
IN excess of last year and the aggre-
gate receipts for September LIST to date
show increase of 28i, 900 over last year.
The Egyptian receipts for the week were
Zib,tU0 cantarS against 1870, 600 last year.
The to+al from September 1st to date ex-
ceeGs last year by 1856 90 cantars, or
reduced to 500 pounds. is the equivalent
OF 3l1,00o bales; consequently. taking the
excess Of 284, 900 bales in Bombay and
81 900 Egyptian to date, it will be seen
that the increase etWee both of these
crops is 959, 90 over last year. The fact
that both of these countries have made
large crops and that Lancashire has i'm
Ported considerable quantities of Surats,
Peruvian and Brazilian cotton, seems to
have been ignored entirely by the trade.
notwithstanding that it was instrumental:
in causing Mr.. Ellison to reduce his es-
innate of Americans consumption to TO-
400, GOO because the cottons are being
consumed at the expense of American.
However. for the time being, notwith-
standing the weakness of statistical sit
%ration, sentiment is very bull'sh and is
accentuated by the. manipulation in New
York; therefore values may be held, yet
eventually the legitimate factors will
govern the market.

required by the regulations. Capt. Ches-
ter Harding. the acting Engineer Com
missioner, has recommended that the
required minimum depths Of top OF cen
duits below the surface grade be main
tanned at eighteen inches as heretofore.
and that under exceptional conditions
the applications of the electric COM
panies shall Indicate that the ordinary
depth would make their work unreason-
ably expensive. or otherwise expedienr.
In the cases IN question. Mr.. l.. e. Sim
clair. genera! superintendent of-the cleo
trio company, stated that to get house
connections eighteen inches below the
surface it would be necessary for them
to reconstruct their old handholes. and
all of the old work Whenever It is
possible. and on all new construction
work, they always put the connections
eighteen inches below the surface. As
soon as they get outside of the hand
holes they slant the duct to the re-
quired depth into the premises.
