Murphy & Co.'S Qnc.) Cotton Letter. IRY PrIuraAa

New York. Nov. 1.-The week closed with an unsettled ling in cotton and eome disposition to adopt bearish views. The absence of decisive advices tending 10 show that the killing frost during the week had failed to hurt cotton, was a disappointment. Correspondents in the South were Slow in reporting or pre- sumed to have been indifferent as to the question of damage and in no direction was there any evidence Of any features which called for active support beyond the fact that the market has been going down and that rally was in order Even sn circles where moderate crop views are entertained and small crop is regard ed as certain, people rather feel that a speculation cannot easily be revived ex-' cept at much lower level of prices regardless of intrinsic values since the long interest is extensive and the short interest not broad enough to warrant hope of relief from that quarter. The apathy of spinners here and abroad is against sustaining present value, hence many see no chance of breaking the dead lock except by forcing prices down to a point where they will prove more tempt ing. The weather map was fair over the entire South and the temperature early in the day was quite mild, at no point failing below 4S.
 Port receipts were estimated at 45OO0 against 46O0O last year. Prices opened a shade lower and showed slight changes all day. Sales were light.

New York Financier's Statement.

NeW I OTk IAdAC4CA
 New York, Nov. 1.-The Ffnancier thls week says:
 The striking feature of the stament or the New York Associated Banks last week was the unexpected gain of $o'334l lVo m cash whereas the traceable movements or money during the week seemed to indicate a loss of $212 AGO. It is noteworthy that the gain in dash last week makes the total increase in this item Tor two weeks, s23, ,Ss7. 200 or an amount about equal to the sum disbursed for bonds bought for the sinking fund and the re- ceipts of gold at San Francisco from Aus tralia which gold was transferred hlther by telegraph during the week. The loans o5S. goo in the fortnight, the increase last week was probably due to temporary loans of funds which had been accumu- lated preparatory to their disbursement this week for intert-t and Tor syndicate syndicate Si1lO5, 300. or 2760.S0C the amount called for by the ga..- cash and m loans; hence the statement Is agalh out of proof. The required reserve was aug mented by g. 776, 4i5: deducting this sum from the gain in cash leaves $Gool,62o as the increesA of surplus reserve to VI 3JS,- lOO as comp.it,d d upon the net deposits tn- cluding those of the government EA- cluding these deposits which now amount to $4OSl5.6OO. the surplus reserve increased by $35S7,T25, to 3l l3S5,SSa. Another important feature or the state- ment was a furher increase in clrcula- ton- by Sl9G5. GOO making gain of A'2SI,- SOO in the fortnight. The surplus reserve computed upon the basis or all deposlts. Is now S10, ,S56 400 greater than 1t was al this time a year ago and the banks are doubtless in a very strong position for the season. Therefore, should there be an important revival of speculation lnYoiN- ing increased demands for loans or credltS such a movement would doubtless be re- garded as not objectionable. Cmopar- ing charges in the loans by some of the largest banks it is said that Tour lnstl- tutions gained $4. 600, 600 and that one bank increased its loan by $6 400, 900. Six banks show net gain of $4sOO,0O 900 specie. One increased this item by $i,6O0,0O and one bank lost $3, 900 600.

New York Coffee and Sugar.

New York. Nov. 1.-The market for cof- fee futures opened quiet with prices un- changed and during the first hour fol- lowed an uneventful course with no vari- ation in values. The foreign market news lacked feature and the domestic advices at hand were equally devoid of incentive for the room trade. The business in hand was chiefly in the direction of week end settlements by the talent, the public re- fusing to re-enter the market pending election developments. Lato in the sea- sion the shorts turned for cover on rumor that the Brazilian government in- tended imposing a heavy tax on all new trees planted. Closed steady net un- changed to points higher. Total sales were 1S.500 bags.

THE BRITISH ScHooLBoY ON AM
MALs.-A correspondent who offered
prizes in different schools for essays
on kindness to animals sends us a
few extracts from the papers re-
ceived:
There are two kinds of animals,
and they are the quadruped and
biped; the quadruped is lions and
tigers and such like, and the biped
is birds.
Some people kick the poor dog
and give il no food. Then the poor
animal bites the first person it comes
to, and this causes the person to
have idiphobery, and the animal
gets killed. This is all through the
people giving the animal nothing 10
eat.
Animals do not go to church nor
say any prayers. They never sit
down to get their meals, and we do. .
When the animal dies il is no
more good except for food; but when
we die we have resurrection. -

of the dawn of time. ldolatry aud
theft and murder and violating the
Sabbath day were the master evils
under the Pharaohs aud they are
master evils now. Betting, let us
hasten to note, is not twentieth
century invention. II is as old s
profanity, old as adultery, old as
thieyery. Scholars have striveu to
trace it's beginnings, bat in vain.
Lost are they IN the twilight OF fable.
Does not Ruskin inform Us that In

IS il not fact reported for MS by all

als he has never met an adult native
who was not proficient gambler,
while as far back as the Book of
Historical Documents OF the Chinese
Rlce, the practice is mentioned.
Verify relic of savage darkness
doth it seem to be. Just here we
lind such food for dark foreboding.

Every spring, as soon as the

and low places with small broken
stone, packing them down solid. A
thin coat Of earth fromthe side bitches

earth being used TO hold the stone

broadtread wagon packs them down

becomes hard and smooth. The
stor es picked up off the cultivated
fields are hauled and dumped where
the road need repairing.
These stones are broken up at odd
times during the year. and where
repairs are to be made they are
thrown into the one-horse cart and
hauled TO the spot needing repairs.
