STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 20.-The problem of
the money market was thrown into ain
acute stage again today by the disclosure
of the bank statement that the reserves
Of the clearing house banks were ST.
642,05O below the legal requirements
This was in spite Of a contraction in the
lean account of $11 1854, 500, the shrinkage
in the cash holdings having reached 81
3S1,700 as against preliminary estimates
Of less than four millions An active
selling movement followed the appearance
Of the statement which effectually wipeG
out the previous gains which had been
established under the leadership of an
aggressive advance of 2a4 on large buy
ing of st. Paul. There was no appear
ance of urgency in the selling and the
losses established were not severe The
market closed distinctly easy and with
no effective rally from the dtcline be-
yond the covering demand from room
traders, who took quick profits on the
decline. The last time when a deficiency
developed in the reserves of the New
York banks was for the week ending No
yember 4th 1899. The reserves continued
at a deficit for several weeks following
in spite of large loan contraction, the
deficit reaching $2,7SS,950 on November
nth and disappearing on November 25th
as a result of the relief afforded by the
offer of the then ecretary Gage to pur-
chase SO, 900, GEO five per cents and four
per cents of 1907. This was the period
of the first large fotation of industrial
and the overspeeulation which had oc-
CURED in them left the stock market vul-
nerable TO the influence of the tight
money, which persisted into December
Further loan contraction is clearly in
dicated by the present condition of the
banks.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Sent 2O.-The cotton mar
ket opened easier with prices two to six
points lower under general selling. based
largely upon unfavorable Liverpool ca
bles, heavy receipts and a good wealth

Street bull faction started in to rally
The list and quickly bid January up to
S.74, or within one point of the close
Of last night. But the commission house
contingent had large selling orders of the
Saturday profit taking character from
their constituents and the bulls were
compelled TO absorb this cotton even to
hold the market from further declines
below the opening figures. Tie private
crop reports, nevertheless, were still
very pessimistic and a short crop in many
sections was said to be a certainty. The
Southern spot markets are holding firm
according 20 private kilograms with ex-
porters ard domestic spinners liberal
buyers. The weekly statement from dry
goods and cotton goods centres were
most encouraging and the room element
was slow tc believe in much OF re-
action at this time. AS the session wore
along speculation quoted down consider
ably and the bull leaders experienced
less difficulty in holding prices at a
steady level. January was the center
cf attraction, though the scalping con-
tingent were disposed to risk ventures
liz March and May along conservative
lines. Another cold wave was shown on
the map for the extreme northwest but
as vet This has caused no uneasiness In
local trade circles.

New Orleans. La. Sept. 20.-The de-
mand for spot cotton was fairly moderate
and the movement was curtailed by the
difference between buyers and sellers.
Quotations unchanged.
A very fair business for Saturday
short session was done during the fore
noon in contracts with floor traders hav-
ing all the best of the transactions. The
market at Liverpool was down IA to 4
points on deliveries and lid on spots,
which brought a responsive opening de-
cline of from four to six points here.
Prices were we'll supported after the first
call by the long element, and the decline
was checked. Thereafter, prices moved
back and further over a range of from
four to five points, until just prior to the
close when rather shar1 advance was
recorded. The net result of the day
operations resulted in gains over yester-
days closing prices of from four. to six
points en- all months.

OF Interest to wom IN

Women who have themSelver Suf-
fered from the evil effects of conStip-
alton and Indigestion will be interested
in the following letter from father
whose daughter was given up to die
by two physicians;
"My daughter has suffered from in
digestion for the past five years and
has tried nearly everything that she
could hear of for such trouble. She
was confined to her bed when she
began taking DR.. CaldwelI'S Syrup
PepSin and after taking one fifty-cent
bottle she is able to walk mile at a
time and during the day yesterday
walked 81 miles. / fell like praising
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin be-
cause two doctors said she could not
get well and 1 feel that she is on a
fair road to permanent refief.-Resp-
ectfully, J. III. NJ. CRoCKER.
Nixon, Tenn, Aug. 6, 1900.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
in fifty cent and sI-O0 bottles, under a
positive guarantee.-Sold by all drug
gists.

Law-PIus the rIan.

An article in the October McClure'S
tells how one honest of1icIal-JOSeph
w. Folk, of ST. Louis-cleansed the
Augean stables in that city.
Mr.. Folk is states attorney. When
politicians urged him to be candi-
date he said: "Well, if L am elected
1 will do my duty
"Of course" said the politicians.
Some of the biggest criminals he
had indicted were some of those poll
ticians.
Inside of four months after his cleo
tion Mr.. Folk had sent batch of IL
legal voters of both political parties
to the parliamentary.
Then he went after the big GRIMM
ais.
1t was slow work at first. Leading
business men and church men were
included in the gang that had been
looting the tax payers. Bribery in
the city council was SO common that
one member actually consulted an at
torney to recover by suit the unpaid
balance of bride. A scale of prices
was adopted. So much for fran
chiSe, so much for a switch or elevator
or contract-nothing free.
Gradually Mr.. Folk got hold of the
strings and began to pull.
Then came the pressure.
Bribery, political promises, threats
of personal violence-all these were
used in vain.
CONSERVATION seized tho looterS.
Some went to Europe and some to
Mexico. Two millionaireS went to
the penitentiaIy, one for three years,
and one for two. Some confessed,
and ten years of rottenneSS was ex-
posed.
All this was the work of an honest
man who simply did his duty without
fear or favor. Which proves again
that: The law to be effective must
be the law-plus the man.
A law without an honest and capa-
BILE executive to enforce it is farce.
In war it is the man behind the gun.
In good government it is tie man be-
hind the law.-KanSas City World.
1t proves that the laws in Kansas
could be enforced il all the officials
were honest. Tax laws, railroad laws
insurance laws, text book laws, pro
hibitory laws and many others are
being violated, why not stop it all by
electing the right kind of meni
Politics is the only reason why meT
of that kind are not always elected
j Let everybody lay aside partisan
politics this year ana elect the best
men. 1t will pay to do it.
