the Mayor OF the city Of Yonkers
When he presdes at the meetings of the
Aldermen in Manor Hall he is usually at
tired in black, with white silk waistcoat
and this garb with his smooth face, gives
him an almost boyish appearance. His
great popularity lies among the factory
workers and the labor ,organiza ions Of
Yonkers. They do not forget that he il
sclf-made man.
When very young he came to ionler-
from Cambridge, y y, to make his own
living and to help TO support IA widowed

one of the large carpet companies AZ a
clerk. When the factory clio, ell down for
the summer season he obtained a place
as a printers devil in the Office Of the Non-

Holden. From this place he re 81 to be
printer. then a reporter and finally, in 1890
he embarked in the printing business for
himself.
The rise of Mayor Walsh in city and
county politics is due laI gcly to his pupu-
larity among the working people. VINO

population Of the city, and TO his connec-
ton with lodges and fraternal societies
He is member Of the Elks. Foresters, Red
Men. Knights Of Columbus. Hibernians.

and in fact almost everything in town ex-
c.pt the Hebrew organizations.
Owing to the mlny demand. on In.
Mayor to attend social affairs he seldom
arises before 10 A. NJ, and then his walk
TO his Office is marked by an amount of
handshaking that would make a ongress

in Westminster county recently asked one
of the party workers from Yonkers how
Mayor Walsh was getting on politically.

The Morning News Office.
Thursday, Sept. 4.
The cotton markets declined sharply
heavy liquidation reported to be
nv the bull syndicate. Large
blocks of cotton were turned
loose. while at the same time indus
trious efforts were made to interest
the public in the market. 1t is not
the current impression that this was
successful, and consequently the syn
dicate is believed to have supported
rhe market when prices dropped to the
limit
At New York prices declined 16@21
points, and at New Orleans II points
off on September, and 14@17 points on
other months.
Liquidation was not the only de-
messing feature responsible for the
declines. Rains were reported pretty
generally in Texas, Alabama and Geor-
gia. which also influenced prices adj
versely. The unloading Of bulls and
these rains gave the bears courage,
and they operated vigorously for a
time 1t takes a good deal to enthuse
a bear during such times as the pres
ent, so often have they been defeated
in their previous efforts to stem the
tide of bull campaign.
1t is noticeable in the market re-
ports of leading commission houses
during the past few days that refer
ence is made to deterioration of cot
ton in several of the producing states.
And a second analysis of Wednesday 8
bureau has brought some converts to
it, though few of the trade are yet
ready to accept the Texas condition
which the government estimates at So.
Spot cotton remained unchanged I'M
til the close, when declines were post
ed. These brought out some demand,
though spinners' agents were not gen
orally willing to pay asked prices. In
the Savannah f. o. b. market trading
was backward.
Turpentine closed quiet at 45c, and
sold after the closing at 44Ac. Resins
closed firm at decline of &c on H, /.
X M, N, below Wednesdays figures.
The wholesale markets closed steady.
Resume of the markets as follows:

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, Sept. 4.-The spot cot

to-day. Quotations unchanged.
A marked change in sentiment was
observed to-day in the market for con-
tracts. Yesterdays furry incidental to

slightly below yesterdays level and
moved up 5@9 points on early buying,
but broke sharply Immediately after
the morning hours under free covering
of long cotton, largely by Wall street,

freely than 1t has of late. Although
remains that all reports based on elab-
crate returns indicate deterioration,
and whether the government has or
has not placed the condition too low,
there is nothing to warrant the as
sumption that the crop will prove a
bulky one. This fact alone and Who'll
ly independent of its being under-esti-
mated encourages the friends of cot
ton to see nothing in the future except
a straining to secure a crop equal and
adequate to the worlds requirements.
New cotton is assuming large proper
tons, but occasions little concern. New
York stock is down to "a, 900 bales, and
this in itself scares shorts. Mills are
beginning to feel nervous, and the in
quiry is growing. Port receipts, 20, 900
bales, against 5000 last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co... cation Letter

New York, Sept. 3-To-day we have
mad realizing market by many of
yesterdays buyers who were disap-
pointed at the absence of demand from
outside speculation. From the opening
there was this slow liquidation, to-
gether with some selling by exporters
against Southern purchase.
The excitement of yesterday was not
repeated, a much quieter tone being
the rule. Opinions are more divided,
as the bureaus is felt to be an under
estimate of the present conditions.
Rains have fallen in nearly every
section. Receipts are heavy and not
many buying orders have been re-
ceived from the South. On the other
hand, If the bureau is at all correct,
higher prices must eventually rule.
The problem is simply with the heavy
receipts. Can the market stand the
daily movement, which will for some
time, at least, contradict the bureau
each day:

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Sept. 4.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices points
lower to 1 point higher, under scatter
ing sales by less confident longs, who
were influenced by failure of Liver
pool to fully respond to last nights
sensational rise here. Nevertheless,
soon after the call the bull faction
took the aggressive and quickly bid
the whole list we'll above the closing
hgures of yesterday. January touch
ed $3.50, which was top for the bull
movement inaugurated weeks ago. But
at this level heavy realizing set in
and later bear presusre became a fac
tor for the first time in many days.
The cause for this return of confidence
on the short side and the less opti-
mistic feeling in bull circles was the
appearance of official bulletins show
ing general and soaking rains over
extensive areas of the belt, including
Georgia, Alabama and Texas The
forecast promised still further rains
for tonight and tomorrow, with
lower temperature. Very large receipts
at the ports and interior towns, with
large estimates for to-morrow's move
ment, added to the heaviness of the
market, which late in the day resulted
In break to SAC for January. The
commission houses were large sellers,
and the South and Europe ceased COW
ering. The easier ruling of the stock
market, with higher money were not
without influence The volume of BUSH
ness was large all through the session,
with the chief feature liquidation. The
bull syndicate led the selling pretty
much all day, though several times
making attempts to check the rush of
selling in order to prevent too rapid
declines. The market was finally easy
and 16@21 points lower Total sales
were estimated at 100000 bales. The
reports from dry goods and cotton
goods and spot cotton markets were
more cheering, and in the South several
large spot sales were reported.
