Cigarette Smoking.

Cigarette smoking is getting to
be an evil in this city that demands
attention some measures for its
suppression. The boys do this
smoking openly-on the street, in
stores and even in Opera Hall dur
ing the presentation of public en-
tertainments. 1t is becoming a de-
cided annoyance to people to say
nothing of the evil of the habit to
the boys. 1t is noticeable that the
habit grows upon the boy who has
long INDUCED in the smoking.
That is, he smokes more frequently
the longer he persists in the habit.
If a boy does not have the strength
of will to resist the temptation of
smoking the vi1lainous stuff or to
desist when he sees it is running
his constitution and his health,
then the hand of parental authority
should be used to aid in the sup
preston of the ruinous practice.
It would be we'll for the people, or
the city council as representing the
people, to memorabilia the legisla-
ture for the passage of a law that
will put an effectual check upon
cigarette smoking in this state.

NEW YORK, Oct 3I.-The Financial this week says Unusual interest manifested Saturday in the disclosures of the condition of the New York Associated Banks because of the record breaking withdra walls from those In

Chicago and New Orleans. these amounting as estimated from the traceable movements dur ing the week to S5,663 900. The statement showed, however, decrease of but SS 69A. 800 cash while the estimates indicated net loss on all movements of SIS, $40, 900. The dis crepancy between the actual loss as shown by the statement and the estimated loss may be expalned by the operation of the average sys- tenn. The movement of money to St. Louis in 10 Chicago almost wholly confined to the early part of the week and the average for the threo days would call for but one-half of the SIo 800 900 sent to these two cities. or S5,40o o0o The movement to New Orleans was also largest early in the week and the av- craze would reduce the S3 50 900 forwarded to that center to about Sl 500 0o0 making the | average outgo for the week s7ooo 900. The average of shipments to other points would bring up the total to amount very closely corresponding with the loss oically given in the bank returns. The loans expand ed by S4. 409. 500. whereas a decided contrac- ton was looked for. This gain in loans seems to show that the banks remitting to the in- terior not generally under the necessity of contracting their loans for the purpose of meeting these extraordinary requirements
 Doubtless part of the expansion in this item reflected the replacement of foreign loans which had been paid off within the past fort
 
 tions.

 NEW YORK Oct. 3I.-The market took things into it's own hands this morning and simply ignored the lower Liverpool prices and factors that were tn any way against an ad- vance. Bad weather in Texas was the feature of the morning and shorts simply fell over themselves to buy cotton. It begins to look as though the South was getting very much in- terested in the long side of cotton. The buy lnn this week has been on an enormous scale and the well known propensity of the South- ern speculator to keep on as long as the mar ket advances has brought big profits. In the event of a good advance now the level VIII De where a reaction of a matter of 17 cent will not shake holders out. The event of the news recently has been the Bradstreets report on cotton It Is said the evidence of short crop are such as to make indications point to a yield no larger than last year. if as large. This is by far the most serious news the spin ner could have. It means a serious time be- fore Spring While the market has already had a good advance one knows what may happen if buyers once get the small crop idea firmly fixed in their minds. There Is nothing in cotton to sell the market short on this year. Tn the event of a break. we would buy cotton to hold for higher prices Europe is much ex- cited over the situation and the American spinner may lost his head at any time. Dry goods conditions not favorable nor are finances but cotton is a buy on any break around 10 cents.

Chicago Grain and Provtstons.

CHICAGO. Oct 3I-Small contract stocks and d good shipping demand influences that created an urgent demand for December wheat today and prices in that pit ruled strong, December closing with gain of I1c December corn and oats were each shade higher, while January provisions closed from 10 to IOi5c higher.
 There was better trade In wheat than for some time past and after easier opening the market turned strong and prices were well maintained throughout the day The opening was trihe lower on easier cables, favorable weather and large receipts in the Northwest December heinz bpAc lower at Soh@S0A Soon after the opening commission houses be- came active buyers of December and with traders showing a disposition to hold on to that month the market quickly turned strong and the price advanced to 9lc within the first hour. May was influenced by the strength of the nearby delivery and showed a fair advance Heavy clearances were bull factor late in the session. Just before the close some of the ad- vance was lost on realizing, but the close was strong with December l1c higher at So7s. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 6S6oo bushels. Primary receipts were L. BPS 900 bushels. against 1898. % year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 965 cars, which. with local receipts of S7 cars, none contract. made total receipts for the three points of io52 cars, against 772 cars last week and l.oo2 cars a year ago.
 Early selling of corn, due to the weakness of cables. caused an easier feeling at the start but offerings were slight and when wheat be- gan to show signs of strength the corn market also became firm. Trading, however, was light and prices kept within narrow range De- cember closed a shade higher at 44c after selling between 43%943% and 44h944A. Lo- cal receipts were 456 cars with 66 of con- tract grade. There was little selling pres sure in oats at the start along with the weak ness in other grains, but the strength in wheat soon checked this selling desire but prices re- mained practically stationary. Receipts were fair with small improvement in the shipping demand. Trading was dull the entire session December ranged between 35S and 35% closed shade higher at 35&. Local receipts were 269 cars.
 Provisions were firm, the feature of the trade being covering by local packer of January lard and ribs.

Virgin q Faunce's Cotton Letter.

tby FfiNate Leased Wire.
 NEW YORK. Oct. 3I.-The sensational ad- vance in the cotton market which was insti- tuted few days ago by the bull forces in the market continued unabated Saturday and the shorts were kept in hot water. They coy- cred on liberal scale and the impression pre- walls on the close that the general short in- terest has been considerably reduced during the week. Sentiment, however, continues quite oullish fin that 1t is figured that the short ir- terest Is quite extensive. The foreign element IS believed to be short of cotton at much lower prices than those now current. The foreigners went in some time ago in the hope of putting the market down in order to facilitate the pur- chase of cotton actually needed. Under the circumstances 1t is figured that the exports which are now rather limited must sooner or later increase. The weather map noted un- favorable conditions in the Southwest, and the interior points. However. the port receipts continued quite liberal and the weekly sta ttstics reflected some increase In the short stocks. The demand for spot cotton was only or moderate proportions and the offerings were more liberal in the South. The professional element sold little on the better levels and many speculative interests reduced their com mitments on the. long side of the account on the view o fthe holiday next week. However on the close there was considerable business among shorts and the bulls seemed to be con hdent of their position. The commission busi- ness was fairly active today. and some of the outside shorts were inclined to take their losses
 Port receipts were figured at "A 900 for to- day, against 45. $40 for the same day last year
