Baxter & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, September 26.-In the first hour the stock market was irregular and heavy, but the movements were not gem orally important, and it was obvious that the pressure of liquidation had been tenn porarily suspended. The severest early losses were suffered by local traction stocks and Union Pacific, Steel and Bal timore and Ohio.
 A period of dullness followed, and stout fractional rally occurred shortly be- fore the bank statement, but that was the signal for the renewal of selling. Su- perfcially the statement was favorable but an analysis of the items indicated large discrepancy between the actual fig ures and the theoretical proof. It Is hard ly likely the bank statement had any practical influence on the days speeua- tion. The continued weakness In steel preferred was dlscouraging to sentiment, and the weakness in the bonds contributed in like measures. Very heavy selling of local fractions stocks was a feature Of the last half hour Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit lost over 4 per cent Metropolitan Street Railway and Manhattan 2. The railway list finally yielded to these in- fuences and there were declines of oyer l ger cent In the active issues. Steel pre- ferrd on a late rally from the lowest closed at only a fractional net loss. The market closed weak

New York. September 26.-The cotton market opened steady, net points lower to points higher and ruled rather .irregu- lar, within very limited range. First it was rather easy following the lower cables, generally favorable weather and full receipts, in connection with further liquidation and bear pressure but later it steadled up to about last nights finals on covering and buying on the reaction theory. Trading was not active and sen- timent uncertain; the market after the recovery ruling about steady within a point or two either way of Fridays finals with the exception of September, which sold from 10. 80, the opening figure, to 1924.

cothraa a Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By t1lDeft x Clay.
 New Orleans, September 26-The cotton market is inclined to be In fickle mood and develops contrary symptoms with startling versatility. Prices have taken a sliding excursion notwithstanding that all or nearly all of the regular features are constituted in such a way as to in- dicate a dear market, for the raw mate rial for many days ahead. Crop reports of late have left many minds exceeding ly doubtful about even a moderate yield being made. but the possibility of a sud- den outbreak of hostilities amongst Euro pean powers, the condition of finances and the rush of early pickings to market in order to secure current quotations have evidently caused friends of the sta pie to resolve upon patient attitude un- til a sounder idea might be formed of the complicated surroundings
 These circumstances do not alter the fact however, that spinners stocks both of raw cotton and manufactured goods are abnormally small and the supply of raw cotton is practically limited to this seasons production. The price is now down to a basis that begins to be at tractive as witnessed by the southern mills talSings and any further anxiety on the part of farmers to market their cot ton in the near future would to immedi- ate appearances present a favorable op- portunity for purchases of all kinds While 1t is true that trade conditions are inclined to execute a retrogade move ment and it does not at present appear likely that the worlds requirements of American cotton for the season will ap- proach the maximum.
 There is no assurance that the yield will be adequate for moderate wants and without prospects for a substantial sur plus at the end of the year we do not look for any very cheap cotton this season, and at this level the staple will be sensitive to developments suggestive of better prices.
 The attitude of the farmer is the key to the situation and until the bulk of the crop Is marketed we expect to see ire quent fluctuations ruled mainly by the weather and the receipts.

Mob Violence

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 1O.-"Causes OF
Mob Violence" This was the subject
of the sermon OF Herbert S. Bigelow.
at the Vine Street Congregational
church today. Mr.. Bigelow took for
a text the 18th verse of the 4th chap
ter of Genesis.
1.-THE Lord set mark upon Cain,
lest any finding him should kill him. "
Mr.. Bigelow said in part:
In the treatment of this primeval
murderer, Cain, more good sense was
shown than can be found anywhere in
the civilized world today.
You may take this Genesis story for
a statement of fact or you may take it
for a work of fiction. No matter.

Lord is said to have pursued with Cain

Discreditinp Mickey

Last week The Independent called
attention to the plot to discredis Gov
ernor Mickey and prevent his renomi-
ration next year, in order to shelve
him as senatorial candidate.
This week 1t calls attention 10 the
development Of this plot, which IL
intended to land the gubernatorial
plum for that prince of renegade pop
ulists, John M. Ragan of Hastings,
who will doubtless be fully as ac-
leptable to John N Baldwin & Co. as
was Our Man Mickey" and further
intended to enable Dietrich and
Thompson TO play tit-iat-toe for tila
United States senatorship.
Governor Mickey claims to be
farmer-and, hence. is not accustomed
to taking part in such exercises as
were had last Friday to comnemor-
ate the extension of the street railway
to the state farm. II the State Jour-
nails account is correct, the governor
made somewhat of spectacle of him
self 1t may be that the silver spike
ratified him. Perhaps he thought ~
vas sixteen-toWunner. But the
boint is, that the State Journal pur-
loosely reported the governors blum
ders as part of the general plot To
make him a one-termer. There was
10 real necessity for telling how aWk-
ward the governor was in attempting
10 drive the silver spike. But this is
what the Journal said:
Governor Mickey then turned his
attention to the driving of the silver
spike which was delivered to him By
DR.. A. T. Peters. The last tie at the
end of the track had been prepared to
receive it. Governor Mickey placed It
in position and then raised the sledge
high over his head. With all the
force of his two strong arms ne
brought the large hammer downWards
and struck the edge &C the tie about
two inches from the spike. Again he
struck, this. time he hit the spike on
one side and sent it spinning into the
crowd. 1t was found and brought back.
The next two blows hit the rail.
"A few gentle taps, governor sug-
gested Chancellor Andrews who has
taken part in similar ceremonies be-
fore.
Accepting the suggestion Governor
Mickey gave the spike few easy
llows getting it well started before he
attempted to use the heavy effective
blows he had started with. In q few
seconds the large nail was in place
and members of the crowd were con-
graduating the governor on his sue
cess.
""They can never say you're rail-
road governor, declared Chancellor
Andrews viewing the splintered tie
and the battered rail-"
But, of course, John Baldwin knows
better than that Besides, he didn't
choose Mickey as an expert spike
Griver, but as hammer for driving
Gown railroad taxes.
