ket opened steady at unchanged prices
to decline of points and subsequently
showed considerable irregularity at one
time prices being to points above the
closing level of the previous day on a
few positions; at another time showing
q net loss of to 9 points and closing
steady at net unchanged prices to de-
cline of points. The weakness was
most marked in the more remote posi-
tons. There was no net change in No
vember, while the final decline in De-
cember was only 2 points. 1t was limited
that the January longs have been alb
sorbing December cotton to the extent
that they had liquidated in January on
the ground that the present prices in the
South offers no profit in shipping cotton
here for delivery on November and
December contracts, while the transfer
of long interest from January to De-
cember gives the bull interest a start
of a month ahead Of the January move
ment. Trading today was very active.
Throughout the session, the market
showed a firm undertone with strong
houses buying largely on the relative
stability of the Southern spot markets
and in view of the fact that the move
nent of cotton was not at all in keeping
with the large crop claims recently
made by houses with European or buy
ing connections The improved conditions
of Wall Street affairs is Leading to some
investment demand in cotton. On the
other hand, weather reports from the
cotton belt are generally pretty good
and this phase of the situation checks
the demand for cotton somewhat. Trade
in cotton goods is fairly active.

The old pueblo has new city engineer
today. Mayor Schumacher dispensed
with the services of Homer Santee last
Saturday. The new engineer is John
Gardner, the well known civil engineer.
Mr.. Gardner assumed his new duties
this morning.
The Grays returned from Bisbee on
the Burro this morning a crippled and
sorry looking outfit. The Reds took
their scalps yesterday at Don Luis to
the tune of s to 4. Nelson was unable
to hold Rube's cannon balls, and the
fielding of the locals was also ragged.

The Republicans held a little side

Saturday night The so-calIed meet
log was held at the side door OF sa-
loon. Ramon Soto acted as chief
spieler, and the freaks, or rather the
candidates, were introduced to the
slns.ll audience in dime museum style
In Introducing Mr. Roscoe Dale the
s;,ieler told his audience that this was
the man who killed the high license
ordinance" The people who voted at
the election will probably wonder

big joke-on them
A rather exciting incident is said to
have occurred at the faro table in the
Legal Tender last Saturday night. A
man who had evidently been gambling
for his life all evening saw his last
bet fade away in the bank and then
coolly drew sixshooter and snapped
it couple of times at his head Luck
lily the gun did not work, and by
stander Knocked it out of his hand be-
fore he could make any use of it. The
man is said to have been we'll dressed
and was an American. He lost con-
siderable money.
Mrs. George T. Fisher. wife of the
manager OF the local Singer sewing
machine Office, died rather suddenly
yesterday afternoon. She was suf-
ferer from pulmonary trouble, and
had been resident of Tucson for over
a year. She had visited the east dur
ing the summer and returned to the
city about one month ago. The de-
ceased was % years of age, and ma
tive of Milwaukee. The remains will
be shipped to that point tomorrow.

Mr.. f. Lewis, OF Shaniko, Oregon, was
located for several years at various
points in South America, and fell into
the native custom of frequently drinking
coffee. He says: ~ took to using it the
same as those nervous, excitable people
in South and Central America. They
make very black coffee and it becomes
more or less an Intoxicating beverage.
At the end of about four months, I be-
gan having severe headaches and nsrv-
ousness, but supposed it was from the
| tropical sun. At last my wife became
alarmed at my headaches and stomach
trouble. She tried to induce me to quit
drinking coffee, laying my trouble to
that, but l continued to use it.
She read of Postum Food Coffee, and
ordered some from the states, but kept
| 1t secret from me. The first time che
made it, when came in for my coffee
and roll, noticed the peculiar, pleasant
| flavor of Postum, and asked her what it
was. She said it was new brand OF
coffee and askeds me how liked it.

Cheua, which is used by everyone az

Point Judith is We'll Defended
 Against Attack.

Point Judith. R. l. Aug 30.-At this point in the view of the officers in charge of the defence in the pending war man. ouvres is considered the most favorable place for an attacking fleet to attempt landing, attention is being concentrated here and elaborate plans have been made for it's protection. The largest body of signal men in the whole line of action Is located here and other preparations made have been in proportion. It is claimed that no place in the coast offers a bet ter chance for the hostile fleet to land men than inside Point Judith breakwater.
 Tn connection with the defense of this locality a big war balloon will be sent up 5000 feet and anchored day and night. The balloon is provided with a telephone wig-wag signals and flashlights On clear day observations at sea will be pos sibe for thirty miles.
 The large automobiles are on the way here for the use of the signal men, one of the cars being for the purpose of saw ing the balloon should the enemy land and seem likely to capture it.
