was every reason to believe that to-

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 20.-IrreguIarity
marked the course of to-day's stock
market. The controlling influences
were the uncertainty as to the outcome
of the coal miners convention, the rise
in foreign exchange and the threatened
action of the Southern courts against
the latest railroad combination. There
were some material gains at the outset,
however, especially in st. Paul, Balti-
more and Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri
Pacific and Wisconsin Central. On the
other hand such active issues as Read
ing, Louisville and Nashville, Norfolk
and Western and Atchison were' lower.
The strength of st. Paul was prob
ably due to reports Of an early an
nouncement of rights" The first re-
dictionary movement was checked by
the increased strength of Baltimore
and Ohio as well as pool movements in
several other stocks including Illinois
Central At the same time Union Pa
cihc, which had been fairly steady
sold off and st. Paul also lost point
from its best figure. Advances in the
issues of Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault-ste-Marie, Toledo st. Louis and
Western preferred, Kansas City South
ern and Canadian Pacific were ascribed
to the various pools interested in those
stocks, Practically the same influences
the movement in Amalgamated Copper
resulted partly from London's advance
in the price of that metal. United

New Orleans, Oct. 20.-Liverpool ad-
vices were not encouraging conse-
quently our market opened 2 to 3 low
er but subsequently advanced to Z on
the light receipts Notwithstanding
weather conditions throughout the
South were favorable to the growing
crop. Near the close realizing caused
slight decline, making the net gain
l to points. Manchester cables stats
that the business in the cloth market
last week was quiet and hand to
mouth The general inquiry was diff
cult to execute iii order to keep looms
going until remunerative prices were
accepted on goods suitable for India
The inquiry from China was unimpor-
tant. The apathy of spinners and ex-
porters during the past fifteen days is
being reflected by the small port move
ment, causing a large accumulation of
stock in the known and unknown in
terrier towns. This has been antici-
pated for four or five days past and
seems to be pretty well discounted. The
expectation of very unfavorable and
colder weather throughout the belt
over Sunday has failed to materialize
and the prediction to-day is for gen.
orally fair weather tonight and Tues
day and rising temperatures tonight
over the northeastern portion of east
Texas. While the movement this week
will probably be about 100000; less
than last year. We think more i'm
portance will be attached to the
weather so we again suggest that the
latter feature be watched closely.

Murphy q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York. Oct. 20.-Cotton prices
were slightly lower when the market
opened. Not much importance was at
tached to- a report circulated after the
close of Saturday to the effect that
big grain interests were accommodating
q large quantity of March and May.
Weather news over Sunday was bear
ish, since there was little rain and
only moderate temperature. Crop re-
ports through private sources were of
recent contradictory character general
ly favored poor yield. The important
sustaining factor at the moment is the
decreased movement. The figures
must increase decidedly in the next
week if large crop views are to pre-
vail in some quarters as they have in
the past. AS usual, the bull explana-
ton is that the decrease is due to poor
roads and holding back while big crop
people assert that the demand in the
South is falling behind, that buyers for
export are out of the market, and pros
pect as regards the crop are sufficient
ly bright to induce them to maintain
q policy of indifference. At the same
killing frost would stimulate specula-
ton. Early in the day it was report
ed that Buston of Liverpool would
issue bearship crop estimate. De-
spite this the market advanced after
the opening on covering of shorts al
though business was light. Cables quiet
at l to points advance. Port receipts,
$4,000, against $4,000 last year.

was very moderate. Chicago bought
heavily of the pool stocks through
some of the leading commission houses
and Pittsburg and Cleveland orders for
the same class of stocks were numer-
Gus. In fact the bulk Of the days
business, which was comparatively
small, came from out of town. The
hard coal stocks, while not displaying
pronounced pressure, showed little sup
port, and the soft coalers, which were
prominent in the early operations
closed with little or no Improvement
Money was decidedly easy, opening
at s per cent, advancing half a point
and then loaning as low as per cent
Most of the days loans were at per
cent. The downward trend OF the LIST
was more marked during the afternoon
session and practically all of the early
gains were lost at the close. The ex-
ception to this rule were mainly in the
miscellaneous group. London was a
seller all day, aggregate sales amount
ing to about $4,000 shares. These were
made chiefly in the early rise and i'm
cluded the soft coa1ers, Atchison and
Southern Pacific. Local monetary con-
ditions continued fairly satisfactory.
The bond market was quiet and lr-
regular to-day in sympathy with the
uneven stock speculation. Total sales
par value $2,6S5,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on the last call.
Total sales stocks to-day were 612,-

New York, Oct. 20.-Our market is
acting Independently of Liverpool and
is paying little attention to any factor
except the receipts, which are light,
as compared with last year. On the
basis of values it requires a large
movement to create any uneasiness as
to the future of prices. Weather con-
ditions throughout the cotton belt con-
tinue to be very favorable for the ma
turity of the crop, and the tendency
is to increase estimates of the yield.
The cotton that is coming here for de-
livery is being shipped away as fast
as it arrives. January maintains its
premium over March under this condi-
ton without difficulty. Southern mar
kets are relatively cheaper than at any
time this season. The temper of the
trade now looks for steadier markets
until receipts increase.

KU KLUX
KLAN REVIVAL

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 10.-A report
reaches here from the western por-
tion of Neshoba county that the Ku
K lux Klan has been revived in that
neighborhood, and vengeance visited
on several negroes who have been
giving trouble OF late.
Two negroes were taken out by
parties of masked men and severely
whipped, and the cabin of an ola
negro was riddled with buckshot.
Thus far there have been no fatali-
ties, and the lawlessness is not en-
dorsed by the best people of the
county. The authorities are endeav.
oring to locate and punish the perpe-
traitors of the outrage and an attem pit
will be made to break up the band.
A few weeks since several outrages
by whitecappers were reported from
Simpson county, but the neighbor-
hood speedily quieted down and the
whipping of negroes ceased when the
sheriff started an investigation to as
certain the guilty parties.
Outrages of this sort which were
very frequent during the election
troubles of the reconstruction period,
are very rare nowadays, and the or
ganiaztions are generally of ve-y
short duration. Feuds have also
practically ceased. even in the most
remote communities. and Mississi ppi
is unable at present to claim single

HANGINGS TO
BE PRIVATE
VERY FEW WILL BE W.T.
MESSED BY THE PUBLIC
ARE DEMORALIzING
Boards of Supervisors of Jefferson
and YaIobusha Counties Have
Issued Similar Orders.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 10.-The cam
paign against public hangings in Mis-
sissippi is having good effect, and
but evry few of the twenty or more
pubplic executions to take place in
the state during the winter will be
witnessed by the assembled thousands,
who gather from miles around in
spirit of morbid curiosity to see a
fellow being die OIL the scaffold.
The board of supervisors of Jefferson
county has ordered that the executions
to take place in Fayette next month
be strictly in private, and similar
order has been issued by the board of
supervisors Of Yaiobusha county CON-
cerning the double hanging to take
place at Coffeeville about the sam 3
time.
The demoralizing effect OF public
hangings has been made apparent in
several instances during the past six
months, and sentiment is strongly
opposed to having the grewsome

depriving boards of supervisors of
discretionary power in the matter.
