Murphy 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, October 9.--LiverpooI, when New York opened today, reported a slightly better market and local senti- ment was more favorably disposed. The weather. according to early advices, was perfect throughout the entire cotton belt and the official forecast stated that no decided change was probable the next two days excepting that the upper Mis- sissippi valley was looked for cooler weather and the possibility of this ex- tending southward was not to be over looked. The trade as a rule believed present prices reasonable ani ;s cautlcus policy was being observed until Novem- Der at least A few isolated reports of an improved crop outlook are being used by the bear faction with some little ef- feet, but it is hard to convince the mass of trade that the crop will greatly ex- ceed Il, 900, 900 bales since various authori- ties make it a million more or less. It is also claimed that Improvements in crop conditions are seldom heard from Texas. The best informed people are confident that the yield in that state will prove far below bear estimates The re- ported settlement of the strike sent prices up to 10 points before noon; but busi- ness was light Cables steady at points advance. Bombay weekly receipts 1000 bales and shipments 3,OVO bales. Port re- ceipts 54,000 vs. 55,OO0 bales.

New Orleans October 9.-The improve ment in futures here and in Liverpool had the effect of bringing buyers and sell CTS nearer together in their views, con ditions that resulted in sales of 1900 bales, including 21OO to arrive. Quotations un- changed
 The general tendency of prices in the cotton contract market today was toward a slightly higher level There was an initial improvement of to points based upon the development of a better feeling in the Liverpool delivery market, predie- tions of rain over a large section of the cotton belt and gains in New York. This was followed by a moderate line of short selling that sent prices off to points, but under the influence of further i'm provement in New York the market here went up to 6 points with a rush before the advance was checked. Slight fiuetua- tions followed, the market closing with net gains of 6 to points.

SHORTS WERE BEST BUYERS

New York, October 9.-The cotton mar lket opened steady. unchanged to an ad- vance of points. and ruled more active and firmer on better cables than looked for. The market was further stimulated by various rumors generally pointing to an early termination of the coal strike still another factor in the advance in fu- lures at this point was the renewed sta bility in the spot markets of the south. Certain Wall street operators who have been Inactive for several days re-entered the market today as buyers and this led to renewed activity on the part of the "tailing" contingent. while there was also considerable demand from specula- tive sources.
 The leading demand was for January and March. although May showed a broadening interest. Shorts were the best buyers. Warehouses were steady buyers throughout the session. giving preference to the more remote positions. European orders were about evenly di- vided between buying and selling. The general situation here had the ad- vantage of better accounts from Wall street. At the best point the market showed an advance of to II points, with the close quiet at a net gain of to l0 points, The estimated sales were 225,OOO bales.

GOOD ROADS NEEDED.
The American Automs2ile Association
 Mapping Out'Plans

New York, March 17.-Winthrop E. Scarritt, president of the American Automobile association, is mapping out line of endeayor for the new na- tional organization of motor vehicle clubs. It will be submitted at the first meeting of the board of directors which will be held in this city the second Tuesday in April.
 Good roads and uniform speed laws" said MT Scarritt, twill natur- ally first receive the attention of the national association. The legislation in the various states will be watched by the local clubs in those states. but they will have the backing and receive the suggestions of the national body.
 'The new clubs that come within will not be by any means represented in the work of the association, even though not represented on the board of directors. They will be given places on the committees, and I will try to arrange to have the committees so constituted that they can be added 10 as new clubs come in and desirable members present themselves.
 ''The speed laws will receive our special attention. Legislation on this subject is chaotic at present. We can at least inform our members as to the laws in the various states on the subject"

Secretary Lindsley of the board of health has this to say about smallpox:
 During the calendar year, 1901, 7S cases of smallpox were reported in Connecticut. These were distributed through fifteen towns. During the year 1902 up to the present date there have been reported 47 cases making a total of 125 cases during the last 14ia months. Of the 12J cases thus far only eight have proved fatal. being death rate of between and ' per cent only. The cases of the present year have oc- cured in fourteen different towns. The 125 cases have been distributed among the twenty-four different towns in the state. This is an alarming situ- ation. The remaining IA towns are equally liable to the disease. Every new invasion of this disease is an oc- casion of much fright and anxiety and always of Very eXordinary expense. The method of preventing an invasion of smallpox is so simple that it Is truly astonishing that an intelligent community neglects it. It is simply doing before the disease appears exact ly what they all do immediately after it's appearance. That is-vaccinate. Vaccination is 100 times cheaper than quarantining
 No amount of enterprise in quarar- tine cases will ever succeed in prevent ing the spread of smallpox so long as it has an unlimited supply of new ma- terial to feed upon in the systems of persons so wrong headed, so indifferent or so ignorant as to deliberately keep themselves subject to the contagion by neglecting vaccination. Every unvac- cinated person is liable to smallpox iii any public vehicle or place of assem- ply. All other means than vaccination are Insignificant as compared with the protection which that affords. Tn the present threatening situation if would seem the duty of school visitors to promptly and rigidly exercise the au- thority conferred upon them and pro. hibit all unvaccinated children from at- tendance in the public schools unless lawfully excused. It is the duty of all local health officers to consider if they are not justified in prohibiting in like manner the attendance of unyaccinated children at private schools. It would seem to be the duty also of those hay ing many in their employ to cooperate with health officers in using their in- fiuence to encourage and promote vac cination among their employees There is no fact in science better established by an experience of 100 years in every civilized country. than the fact thar vaccination scientifically practiced is a safe and sure prevention of smallpox.
 An epidemic of smallpox has never occurred in a well vaccinated communi- ty. Vaccination should be performed ill infancy, a representation at the age of 12 or IA and subsequent vaccination whenever an individual is exposed or as in the present instance when an epidemic is prevailing.

CONDITIONS MORE FAVORABLE
Large Number of Freight Hand-
 lers Reinstated at Boston.

Governor Crane and the State Board
 of Cancellation Look for q Speedy
 Adjustment of the Whole Matter
 The Differences Between the Long
 shoremen and the Transportation Go
 Are the Most Serious at Present.
 Boston, March 17.-With the rein statement of large number of the freight handlers at the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad sheds to- day, and the settlement of the difficulty over taking the old men back at the docks of the Clyde steamship line. con ditionS were considered most favora- bfe by those interested for a speedy ad- justment of all dissatisfaction among the men employed in the transporta- tion trade who struck here last week. The differences between the I4ongshore- mems union and the Merchants and Miners Transportation Go, the line at which the old employees were not taken back, are the only ones now remaining to be patched mp. Strong pressure is being brought to bear by Governor Crane and the state board of concilia- ton and arbitration upon the company with some prospect, it is said, of sue cess.
 Boston, Mar. 17.--About TOO freight handlers and clerks of the New Haven road reported this morning. The mar ried men were taken back in squads of p, as they were needed No single men were taken back.

 The remains of William Kahn, the second cook at the Scoyill house, are still lying in Moriarty's morgue. An effort is being made to inform his brother, Henry Klahn, who formerly resided in Stamford Hall, Flushing, l.. | It is not known whether he still lives there or not. A Democrat re- porter saw Deputy Coroner Pond late Saturday afternoon after he had ex- amined several witnesses in connection with the investigation of Klahn's death. The deputy coroner said that the investigation by the city authori- ties as to the cause of the Scoyill house fire was all right and that there was no reason, therefore, for any ac- tion in regard to this matter upon the part of the county authorities As to KlaAps death, Deputy Coroner Pond sdid that Klahn met with death either on account of losing his way because he was not familiar with the Scovill house passages owing to his short connection with the hotel, or he was Suffocated by the smoke. He also remarked that judging from the testimony of the persons he examined there was an inadequacy of fire es- capeS ill the Scovill house.
