| New York, Oct. 13.-The dry goods
market is quiet with more or less irregu-

| New York, Oct 13.-The cotton market

disappointed, however, at the absence of

afternoon advance was the smaller esti-

the bulls, being taken as an indication

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Oct 13.-Today's stock mark
ct passed through number of separate
phases and ended today IN a nearly
stagnant condition, and with prices for
the most part not far from last nights
level. The market enjoyed its period OF
decided strength during the early part of
the day, when the selling pressure, which
has been so conspicuous recently seemed
to be entirely withdrawn. An organized
party of professional traders made an at
tempt to start prices upwards, percelvlng
a number of circumstances which might
work in favor of the attempt. The most
notable of these was the building up of
large short interest which gave evil
dence of its existence by an eagerness TO
borrow stocks for delivery, causing a
number of the industrials to command a
slight premium for that purpose in the
loan crowd. Speculative circles were IN
clined to attach Importance to some very
large concentrated buying Of United States
Steel, preferred, which was noted yester-
day. and gave rise to reports of very
important accumulation. That stock in
consequence recovered to sixty, and IN
spired a hope that its downward course
had been arrested. at last. The import
ance attached TO the shipbuilding case
was indicated by the good effect of q
rumor that the suit was to be adjusted
and discontinued At the same time there
was some talk of a dividend increase on
Amalgamated Copper and of a declaration
Of a dividend on Reading second pre-
ferred A downward plunge in United
States Steel, preferred, to SIN, the lowest
price Of record, had a chilling effect on
the who'll movement and caused a re-ac-
tonary tendency The selling OF the stock
was associated with the renewed stock
market furry IN Pittsburg. and it was
rumored that the steel, preferred. offered
in the market came out of collateral iol
loan which was affected by the Pitts
burg money troubles. The railroad equip
nent companies were still notably weak
under the influence of official admissions
of large measures of economy by the
great railroad system, which arc expect
cd to become general throughout the rail
road world A sale of old Rock Island
stock at decline of Is points attracted
some attention. The break in Canadian

to orders from Montreal. The western

In the spring of 1902 had child two
wears old that was broken out all over
with sores. The scalp of his head was a
solid scab. He could not lie down at
night, but had to sleep propped up, be-
cause when he would lie down his head
would stick to the pillow. Even the
child's ears would become stopped up
with corruption. Two of the best phys1'

Free Trade In Coal.

When President Roosevelt was on his
stamping tour, he declared in his speech
at Cincinnati that anthracite coal was
on the free list. All Of the Republican
spellbinders echoed the same declara-
ton. The Democrats showed that an
thracite and bituminous coal were both
subject to duty under the Dingley tar
iff law. They were denounced as pre-
~varicators. Election is now oyer, and
President Roosevelt acknowledges that
he was mistaken and recommends in
his message that the duty be removed
from anthracite coal. 1t is now up -
q Republican congress to pass such a
bill, but SO far no steps have been TAX
en- to that end.
It is well to inquire why bituminous
coal should not also be placed upon the
free list, especially as the coal barons
are making preparations to export coal
to Mediterranean ports to compete with
foreign coal in those markets.

IA movement has been started by citi-
zens Of Hungarian birth in this coun-
try to erect d statue OF Washington in
Budapest, the capital Of Hungary. The
Immediate occasion of this was the
dedication # the Kossuth statue in
Cleveland, says the Plain Dealer Of that
city. 1t seems fitting to us In this coun-
try that the figure of the great Ameri-
can liberator should adorn the chief
city Of the land for which Kossuth
fought. It will be interesting to note
the reception which this idea meets in
the dual monarchy. Itcan be assumed
that many Hungarians viii welcome
the gift, and 1T is not easy9sto see on
what ground any element among the
many composing the whole population
can oppose II, though there may be
some question as to the attitude Of the
reigning family, for there Is little In
the Hapsburg traditions to warrant the
belief that such a gift viii be accepted
with enthusiasm.
