CHAPTER II.
Continued.

Continued.
Sometimes the shadowy something
disappeared altogether for few Sec
onds, to re.appear stealthily creeping
round the walls of the little room. Only
one thing he could make out from the
vague outline which was all he saw Of
the figure-the intruder was woman.
He heard a SOUND which he took to be
the dropping of his clothes when they
had beeu ransacked. Then. though he
hardly saw 1t, he felt that the figure
was approaching the bed.
He remained motionless, initiating
the breathing Of sleep.
He felt that hand was upon the
bolster. creeping softly toward his
head. Then 1t was under the bolster.
and, finally. 1t was under his pillow.
He held himself. in readiness to seize
the hand at the moment when it
should find his watch and his purse.
When once the stealthy fingers had
touched these articles. however. they
Were snatched away with so much ra-
pidity that Clifford had to spring up
and fling out his arm to catch the
thievish hand.
AS his fingers closed upon those of
the thief, however. he was struck with
sudden and awful chill on finding
that the skin was smooth as satin, that
the trembling fingers were slender and
soft. the hand small and dclicate-a
hand that he knew!
"Who are you? Who are you?" he
cried hoarsely.
But he got no answer but the answer
of his own heart. His agitation was
80 great that the little hand wriggled
out Of his, still bearing his watch and
his purse; and in another moment the
door had opened and closed and lie
was alone.

upursc. c.and-All" ConsecratiOn.

Many who count themselves wholly the
Lords do not count all their possessions
the Lords. Yet either we and all that
we have are Christs, or we do not feel
that we or anything that we have are
Christs. There is no halfway consecra
tion in Gods service, although many
seem seen to think that personal conservation
only applies to those things that are
specifically included. That was very
positive truth stated by Prebendary Fox
at the Student Volunteer Convention in
Toronto, when he said, There ar, thou
sands who will trust Christ with the sal j.,
vation of their souls who will not trust
Him with the key of their cash-box." 1t

In the. special class Colorado Fuel,

changes were unimportant during the
early session and the market was gar

await developments in the local finan-
cial situation. The chief feature In
this quarter was the transfer of $780,
900 to San Francisco and 100000 TO
New Orleans, making total of 81 ,000,-

market gave way 6 to points
on the more active positions. Deem

July to 1850. Throughout the decline
there was good class of buying, and
when this phase of the situation be-
came apparent there was a renewed
covering demand and prices again took
a higher level, with the market finally
steady at a net rise of 2 to 10
points, distributed as follows: Novem-

April, 4; May, Z; June and July,

accelerated by generally favorable re-
ports from the Southeast to the de-
mand for spot cotton. No market in
the country reported any change in
the price of spot cotton, while some
reported increased interest on the part

teal position of cotton is the basis of

days sales for future delivery esti-
mated at 100000 bales.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE stock mar
ket presented few If any marked
characteristics to-day. Although Lon
don prices showed improvement, the
opening here was decidedly irregular.
This was probably caused by the liqui-
dalton of those who withstood last
weeks depression, as well as by the
profit-taking of spectators who
bought during that same period.
These uneven conditions gave way to
a better feeling before the end of the
first hour, when 1t became evident that
certain vague rumors of trouble
were unfounded. The feature of the
early trading as well as of the entire
day was Manhattan, which syas excep-
tionally strong and active, making a
maximum and net gain of over 5
points on transactions that more than
exceeded one-fifth of the days total
operations. The rise in this stock,
which was bought openly in big blocks
by brokers who usually represent
Could interests, revived the old story
that Manhattan Is to be taken over by
the New York Central on a guaran-
teed dividend. No confirmation Of this
was obtainable, nor did any great
amount Of credence attach to II. The
other transactions were fairly strong
In sympathy, Metropolitan on very
light transactions gaining over point,

Transit Considerable attention was
drawn 20 St. Paul BY reason Of It's

showing in earnings for the fiscal year.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE cotton
market was subject to a good advance
early in the day. Cables were fully up
to bull expectation and private cables
were more hopeful of an Improvement
on account of better trade conditions
abroad. The main cause Of the rise.
however, was the publication of Texas
press dispatches claiming immense
rains in North and Northeast Texas
and loss of late cotton, while the more
conservative element attached no
great importance to these reports the
fact that the decline had already been
great left the market without further
bear attacks and in the absence OF
the usual selling pressure orders were
to buy multiplied rapidly causing
shorts to beat hasty retreat while
there was little buying for long ac-
count. Private cables claimed improv-
ed trade conditions. Prices eased off
shortly after the opening and II was
evident that more than big rains in
Texas are necessary to give bulls a
permanent grip on the market. Even

owing to the bad weather prevalent in
Texas. Our market in sympathy
opened 10 higher, declined to 6
later on the heavy receipts and
predictions of fair and warmer
weather in Texas. Subsequently, how
ever. fresh buying predicated on bet
ter demand for spots occasioned an ad-
vance of to from bottom, maxi
ing the net gain to points on the
day. Manchester cables say that there
was a moderate turn over last week
which was unevenly distributed. The

market being depressed owing to de-
cline in silver Rains were reported
from the Central and Western por-
lions of the cotton region while gem
orally fair weather prevailed over the
eastern. The first freezing tempera-
ture of season was reported from
Oklahoma and a heavy frost at Abb

weather will prevail in Texas and
throughout this district tonight and
Tuesday. The temperature will rise
in all portions of the district by Tues

ana where it will fall tonight Those
favoring a reaction have been steadily

pectation of freezing weather may

SON, 1t is claimed killing frost will
do very little damage. Still sentiment
is buliish and anything favorable to
the article is eargerly grasped to en-
nance values. Receipts continue lib
eral and increase in volume whenever
there is an export demand. proving
that there must be a large supply to
draw from. The future course of
market will be regulated by the
weather, receipts and the demand for

Monday, Nov. II.
The cotton markets showed a tenden-
~ to rise to-day early in the trading.
and close at substantial advances on
saturdays prices. The demand was
better, both for spot and speculative
account, and the early absorption of
offerings gave the market strong and
buoyant tone. Moreover, there were
reports that the fair weather which
has prevailed for some time past was
about to be superseded by a cold wave,
which was forecasted for a large area
of the cotton country. On this the
market tended toward a higher basis.
While it is admitted that the produc-
ton of cotton will be full. this season
estimates of consumption are large.
and this is helping to Offset in a meas
ure the big crop talk. With mills ev-
erywhere operating on full time and
conditions good in the cloth markets
there appears to be nothing to hinder
a continued upward movement of the
market. There has been no abrupt
turn Of bears to bulls, but the bearish
sentiment of few days ago is less
pronounced.

Hubbard Bros. q Cos Cotton Letter.


New York, Nov. 17.-Liverpool rallied
sharply on the rain storm of yesterday
in Texas and the probability that a
frost would follow. However, the pre-
dictions are for warmer. clear weather
over the Southwest, and no frost is in
sight for the cotton belt for several
days. While the movement is decid-
edly heavier. the local temper is OPP
posed to any further decline and a re-
action from the sharp break OF the
past two weeks is expected on the
better demand from spinners. Many
complaints come from Texas Of the
bolls not opening because of the hot,
muggy, wet weather. The idea pre-
walls here that the buyers in the South
are generally short of the cotton they
have sold to Europe and the Ameri-
can mills, which bring them into the
market to secure the receipts as they
come in. In other words the market
now looks to trade rather than specu-
lation, which has been badly hit. to
support the market. The market clos
ed steady at about the best prices.
Local traders expect a better Liver
pool on the recent bad weather. Texas
dispatches report the weather as being
warmer and clearer.
