water from the same canal has
been run back into the river near
the head of another canal and then
taken to the other side of the river
and applied on land over there.
OF course all this may be true and
the canals my have a good case,
but the Union people had one ex-
perier ce in attempting to get a
just distribution of the water and
they evidently don't care to tackle
1T again and will therefore try to
develop water.
1t has long been argued that a
tunnel could be driven under the
riven bed by means of which suffi-
cient water could be developed to
ill the Union canal. This is still
believed, but it is argued that dur.
ing each summer the pumping
plant which would be necessary,
would have to be removed n ac.

the river during the rainy season.
This Of course would cause consid-
cradle expense and inconvenience, |
besides blasting Il tunnel under the
river bed would be very expensive.

DREADFUL DREAM

The following letter written b
cx President Cleveland to Mi
siSsippi ed tor, appeared in th
press dispatches few days ago:
Prin, eton, Feb. 26, 1902
F. NJ. Runnels, Editor Star.
My Dear Sir: | desire to thank
you for sending nc recent
editorial from your paper, and
for tie pleasant letter accom-
panyiag it, would not be
frank il | failed 10 express my
qualification with the evidence
the editorial furnishes that my
fellow democrats in the south
are beginning to know me
better and to u dcrStand that
the course | have felt con.
strained to pursue under the
mandate Of true democracy is
not tainted with disloyalty to
party obligations. ! can truly
say, however, that this gratili-
cation is as nothing compared
with the joy OF believing that
the time is fast approaching
when our grand old party will
shake off the dreadful dreams
that have afflicted it, and fight
again, as of old, the glorious
battles of pure democracy.
NY prayer is that ! may
live to see those happy days.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The letter is interesting, first,
because of the gleeful tone which
pervades it. The venerable ex
president fears that some of his
countrymen have been looking at
him through "a glass darkly" and
he is happy in the belief that they
are beginning TO discern a halo
where they once saw only finan-
cial ring. 1t is interesting to
know that during his intimate as.
sociation with the emies of the
democratic party he has cherished
the delusion that he is the SOLE
and only embodiment of "true
democ acy." But msre entertain.
ing still is MIR. C,.eveland's predic-
t'oh tnat me time is fast ap-
proachiIg when our grand old
parry will shake off the dreadful
dreams which have afflicted it, and
fight again, as of old, the glorious
battles of pure democracy"

pect, but the Sage of Princeton

SHOCK MARKET
 WITHOUT A CUE Opening Was Decidedly Firm With Tone Strong
READING STOCK WAS HEAVY
Publication of the Bank Statement Was Awaited With Almost Pain ful Interest, the List Show
 Ing Haltlna Tendency.

New York, September 6.--In the absence of the Lendon quotations the Iocal mar ket was without cue from any particu- lar quarter. Nevertheless the opening was decidedly firm with much strength of undertone The excellent showing made by Norfolk and Western in it's annual re- port imparted strength to that stock as well as to others in the soft coal group but the upward movement in Ontario ana Western, following hard upon reports showing heavy strike losses, was not ar together clear. Reading displayed heaVi- ness at the outset, presumably as re- suit of a decline in July earnings, but showed evidence of support, closing with A net loss. St. Paul and Missouri Pa cific. leaders of the previous day. were fairly active, while the Atchisons were strong, most of the buying peing attrib- 1ted to Rock Island interests. The move in Peoples Gas and Brooklyn Raplu Transit appeared to have its origin in the operations of a prominent commission house. During the first hour advances were scored by Republic Steel preferred Virginia Carolina Chemical, cast iron pipe, Minneapolis St. Paul and 6ault Ste
 
 Marie. Sloss- Sheffield Steel. Pacific Mall, Laclede Gas and the cotton oil stocks.
 The publication of the bank statement was awaited with almost painful interest. the list halting somewhat in anticipation of a very unfavorable showing. In point of fact, the statement as whole was faithful reflection of the weeks opera tions, although the loss of cash amount ing to $S,S0O,0 ,00O was somewhat in excess of expert calculations. The decrease of aA- most S5, $50, GOO in reserves reduced the surplus to $4097.05O, the lowest figure since last May Prices yielded very gem erally under the influence of the bank statement, St. Paul and Peoples Gas making the greatest losses, with declines of a point or so elsewhere than the ac- tive issues. A partial recovery was ef- fected by some of these stocks named, but the closing, as a whole, was weak and heavy. Barring temporary halt the market for the week was generally strong and very active.
 Large dealings in bonds followed sym pathetically the course of the stock mar ket Dealings were rather irregular and there was a good undertone for the bond market throughout.
 United States 2s and 3s, coupon, and new As, registered, advanced A per cenS, and the old >4s, coupon, A per cent, as compared with last weeks closing call.

Murphv 6 Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York, September e.-The market today was active. but prices were ad- versely affected in the railway list by realizations due to publication of a bad bank statement. There was a general at tack on the market The affect of the exhibition. however. was somewhat modi- fled by belief that high money might assure imports of gold next week. This was sufficient to maintain considerable resistance in the speculation and in the final dealings, there were numerous re- coyeries. The industrlals show largest measure of strength, especially iron and steel shares. Pressed steel was strong Sugar lost 1 per cent. Peoples Gas re- acted per cent In the railroad list Mis- souri Pacific was well supported it touch ed a higher figure than yesterday and closed unchanged. St. Paul broke point but its final loss was only fractional. Other changes were irregular but the market ended fairly firm in tone. Sloss common opened points higher at S2 but on realizing eased off to 80 on small transactions, closing at QUIZ.

 New York, September GA rurther de- cline took place tfais morning, January selling down to S.33. On Monday January sold at S.c2 and since has sold at S.65. It would seem as though the level had about declined to a point where greater steadi- ness can be expected. Of course the weather is good for cotton, southern planters are selling freely and spinners are still holding off. On any further break there Is likely to be a change in both offerings and demand This should come at CT around - cents. A careful reading of state reports on September 1 fails to reveal anything on which to base hopes a big cotton crop. moderate one is probable, a comparatively sman one nos impossible. Buyers should exercise cau- ton in the fall of the year unless crop Is belng marketed. We believe the buying side is> the side to operate on this year. There will be a free and early move ment. This will depress t--e price for time, but if the crtp is moderate one there will be a scramble.
