Murphy e Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, October 6.-Cotton opened easier on moderate transactions. Market showed little snap in the early movement Cables lacked much color. The underly- ing feeling was one of nervousness. The surroundings were for the time being encouraging, the bear faction who saw in the Wall street financial condition and the coal strike just enough to undermine public confidence temporarily Faith in ultimately higher prices was unshaken, although the movement has been inter- fered with by heavy rains Markets are active in disseminating reports of large crop and the weather has been clearing for the past "A hours Light frost and temperature of 42 at Fort Smith was nearest approach to freezing point re- ported early in the day. Liquidation on the part of the week bulls and little southern selling were the early features Buyers at lower prices were numerous and Wall street appeared to await an opportunity to enter the market when the proper level was reached. Right after opening the market eased off ten points, the decline being encouraged by would be buyers at lower prices.

RECEIPTS WERE MODERATE

New York, October e.-The cotton mar ket opened easy with prices down 1 to 3 points under better weather reports from the belt and reports of weakness in the stock market Following the call the ten dency was steadily downward all day, the final prices being about bottom for the session. Commercial houses sold freely under stop orders and Wall street bulls failed at all times to offer support At first the room contingent was slow to believe in serious decline. feeling sure that the bull contingent would step in and bid the whole list rapidly upward. But as the forenoon wore along and no signs of pulling came to the front the trade put out extensive short lines. The private crop reports, while still somewhat bullish. were less so than in some time past and the recent very small crop es- inmates were less popular.
 Receipts for the day were moderate and the export clearances fair, but the official estimates for tomorrow's receipts pointed to an early resumption of an un- restricted movement. The late bad slump in the stock market aggravated the weakness in cotton. The January ana March breach was narrowed to ten points at one time In the afternoon as compared with twenty-five points but short time ago. The market closed bare ly steady and net fourteen to twenty points lower The days sales were esti. mated at 2e0.00 bales. the great bulk or which was done in the winter months Liverpool all things considered was pet ter than expected, but failed to In any way check the downward movement nere' The south sold here at the close.

The opinion of some of the most
prosperous farmers of the peninsula is,
that the coming season will be rec
ord breaking one, both in large and
small fruits, to say nothing of the po-
tato crop. Many of the farmers have
started to plant potatoes on larger
scale than ever before. Potatoes ar
rive at the end of the tomato crop,
which is the last crop harvested, and it
IS thought that several hundred cars of
potatoes will be shipped from the Pen
lnsula this year. The strawberry crop
1t is believed, will be enormous, and it
Is feared that growers will experience
great difficulty in securing pickers this
season.

Princess Margaret's profile and the
contour of her face.
1t has been remarked more than
once that the sprightliness that is so
characteristic of both Princess Mar
garet and her younger sister, Princess
Patricia, must have come to them
from their anna bic father, rather than
from the duchess, who never has fully
overcome the shyness that once was
almost a malady with her. She was
the daughter of Prince Charles Fred
erick of Prussia, and when first she
settled in England her timidity made
life a burden to her. At the first din
ner parties at which she was obliged
to preside as hostess she was so nerv-
Gus that she used never to dare to lift
a glass of wine to her lips for fear of
splitting it, and even now she appears
at great functions as seldom as
possible, and infinitely prefers a
small dinner with two or three close
friends. Her married life, however,
has been fairly happy. She is proud
of the great popularity which her hus-
band, the duke, enjoys, and he relies
more than little on her tact and iudg-
ment.
For the first time, the Connaughts
are about to have a home of their own
in London. Hitherto, this section of
the royal family has lived for the most
part at the dukes country place, Bag
shot park, in Surrey, and when in town
have had apartments in Buckingham
palace. Now, however, Clarence house,
the square saffron-colored mansion
hard by old ST. James palace, is be-
ing entirely reftted for them. Until
recently it has been the home of the
kings widowed sister-in-law, the Ouch
ess of Saxe-Coburg. The Connaughts
are to move in Immediately, and it is
expected that the duke will entertain
lavishly during the coronation sea-
son

CoURTING IN HOLLAND.
Review, Decision, Purchase and Pos
session Sundays as Observed by
the Young Folks.

Holland is a place where primitive
customs abound. Traditions are sa-
credly handed down and observed, and
this veneration for ancient things has
kept alive in the country what are
known as counting Sundays. Through
out Holland the four Sundays of No
vember are said to be kept as fete days.
They are named severally Review, De-
cision, Purchase and Possession Sun
days, says the London Family Doctor.
On Review Sunday everyone goes to
church, and after service there is a
church parade, when all the young men
and maidens look at each other, but for
bear speaking. On Decision Sunday
each would-be benedict approaches the
maiden of his choice with a ceremoni-
Gus bow, and from her response judges
whether he is acceptable as sutton or
not. On Purchase Sunday the consent
of parents and guardians is sought, if
the wooing during the week has been
happy. Possession Sunday witnesses
the first appearance of the various low
ers before the world as actual or pros
pective brides and bridegrooms.

IN THE MAPLE GROVE.

There's breath from the south where the
winter wind whirled,
And the edge of the snow-drift is gracefully
curIed;
There's a touch Of new life in the rays of
the sun,
And the lifting Of sap in the trees has be-
gun.
There's path in the woods to the sugar
house door,
There's a fire in the arch-hear 1t crackle
and roari
There's a drumming of spouts on the
buckets of tin,
And the sweet sap is dropping, transparent
and thin.
Now the sugar-house shows through a
wavy white veil
Like castle of old in mystical tale;
And at night the arch reddens with flame,
and its glow
Like the eye of the mountain CLEANS over
the snow.
In the morning the snow crust is solid and
strong,
And the sugar-house welcomes a jubilant
throng
To feast that is nectar, the amber that
flows
From the fountains wherever the maple
tree grows.
Not snow-drift is left of the winter to tell,
And the buds into leaves are beginning to
swell;
The blue liver-Ieaf blossoms above the dark
loan
In the sugar-house phoebe is building a
home.
