A CHANCE SEAT WORTH $ss,oo
searchIight Turned On Every Man
 Who Wants to Buy 1t.
From Golfers Weekly.

From Golfers Weekly.
 Eighty-one thousand dollars is the price paid recently by new member for a seat on the New York Stock exchange and added to this was the initiation fee of s2OOO. making the total cost $sS,0 One week before a seat had been transferred the consideration being $79,000 and day or two afterward one brought sSO,000
 Under the laws of the exchange a man may borrow money on the security of his membership, but only of his fellow-mem- bers. Repeated loans having reduced the margin of his equity to a low figure, and seeing a chance to sell and save some thing from the wreck, a member will give notice of his intended retirement and sale of his seat. The secretary causes bull letin of the fact to be posted. This Is a form of advice to all members holding claims against the seat to file them for collection. The purchaser pays the money to the secretary, and he in turn pays the claims. turning over the balance to the retiring member
 Accusations of misconduct have been the primal cause of a members selling his seat. Where the offense is venial a fine is imposed or a term of suspension ordered. While under suspension the member is not admitted to the floor. Though the board of governors have pro- nounced his offense pardonable. 1t Is not easily forgotten by the members in gen. eral This is especially the case where the lapse is such as to bring down sentence of suspension for whole year.
 Many are called to membership but few are chosen. It Is one thing to have the price of a seat and quite another to convince the board of governors that you possess the qualities to pass muster. If Diogenes with his lamp came to Wall street seeking an honest man, possibly he would find his quest much easier than he did In ancient Greece for in that curious game that is played on the floor of the exchange there may be no cheat ing There, at least, it must proceed in accord with the unwritten laws that pre- vail among men of honor. If there is a deus ex machina in this daily grind of serious horseplay it Is the spirit of con fidence. In the swift bargaining that goes forward there can be no bond save that of a mans word.
 A glare is turned on mans past when he presents himself as a candidate for membership. The governors make a searching inquiry concerning his integ- rity as a man and about his financial standing His application is posted, and all who have light to shed may borrow the ear of the governors. If charges of unfitness are preferred the candidate has an opportunity to answer them. He is permitted to present his side through counsel Should he do so the case pro- ceeds as 1t might in a court of law. When the decision is favorable, it is in order for the eligible one to find a mem- Der who wants to sell his seat. Usually, however, this detail is attended to in ad- vance.

 The need of a lead pencil, Just any kind of an old worn-out one, caused a lady no end of embarrassment on an early car from Cambridge the other morning She sat running over her shop ping list, when suddenly she thought o1 something to add to it. She looked in her pocketbook, and ransacked all Its divisions, card case apd all, but no pencil did she find Modestlyashe hesitated about asking her neighbors, but with quick resolve she finally leaned toward gen tleman seated by her and holding up her list said loud enough for those in ad- jacent seats to hear
 Excuse me. sir, may I borrow your necktfe d moment"
 The gentleman's astonishment was ex- pressed in his silent facial contortions. until the lady reddened deeply.
 My necktie, madam? he replied, with arched eyebrows
 sDidin't I say pencil?" she asked. And then everybody grinning behind newspapers, knew what the lady added to her list.

 ran & Co
 New York, October 1s.-The question during the coming week will be one Of receipts and not weather This morning the market opened weak as far as prices went, though the tone was more feverish than weak and underneath there was considerable resistance noticeable; not much trade in May and March until the Houston estimates for Monday were re- ceiped and started a few shorts who were nervous, and this ran March to $40 in short order. This is the first time this season that receipts have started the market in any such fashion as this, for that reason we are inclined to think the movement will cut more figure than movement the coming week. We would buy cotton on any and every break for a steady market

Murphy 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, October 1s.-Disappointing cables had a depressing effect on the early cotton market. While the move was light and decidedly below expectation in view of better weather of late, which should have tended to swell the receipts, nevertheless certain surroundings were unsatisfactory such as the high temper ature in the south. uncertainty as re- gards the January deal, and the fact that the total movement for the season to date exceeds last year by half a million bales. Bulls, however, will profit by the comparative movement during the com ing week. Since last years figures were 56i 000 bales, which were the largest weeks movement of the entire season. 1t is estimated that figures of the coming week will not exceed 475,000.

More over the weather chart reported gener- ally flair conditions, with no rain. The receipts were smaller by nearly 25,0oO bales than for the same day a year ago and the estimates for this weeks .in- sight were for 475,oO0 bales, as compared with 56s 4ge bales same week last year. The further reports from Fall River told of cleaned up stock of print cloths with firm nndertone at cents bid for reg ulars.
 Southern spot markets were fairly ae- tive and steady. In tie local market prices rallied several points immediately after the call on room covering and light outside buying for a general improvement during the coming week. But vigor- ous speculative support failed to mate rialize and toward the. close of the first hour opening bids were again in force with the tone barely steady. Private tel egrams from the central and eastern portions of the belt reported unsettled weather and predicted a steady shrinkage in the crop movement from now on. Texas, too reported a disposition of re- receipts to fall off. Wall street appeared to be to tighten It's lead of January and to cover March shorts preparatory to a withdrawal from the market for fresh look at the situation.
