BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook As Seen from
Wall Street.

New York, Nov. 14.-Disturbing In
fiuences, some natural and some arti-
ficial keep the stock market in an
unsettled condition. The natural in
fluences are those included in the re-
adjusting process forced by lessened
business activity and by collapse Of
the late Industrial combination boom.
These forces work quietly and are
sometimes hidden or counteracted by
surface conditions, but in the long run
they are the most powerful of any and
are chiefly responsible for the contin-
ued downfall of prices. Our stock mar
ket is not only paying the penalty
for past excuses, but it is also dis
counting in advance the effects of a
business reaction, so that when the
latter actually arrives security values
are likely to show greater stability
than now AS for the artificial influ-
ences, they are chiefly speculative and
the result of the efforts of powerful
operators to take advantage of or pro-
tect themselves from consequences of
the larger movements which are alto
gether beyond their control.
United States Steel and Pennsylvania
Railroad shares have experienced sig
nificant Declines The recent additional
drop in Steel securities was attributed
to lower prices for products and a con-
sequent shrinkage in profits, though
in some quarters it was intimated that
the decline was stimulated for the pur-
pose of securing preferred stock for
conversion purposes. 1t was the de-
cline in Pennsylvania stock, one of the
most substantial railroads in the con-
tinent, that excited most surprise. By
some it was attributed to liquidation
by numerous holders for the purpose
of protecting less marketable securi-
ties; by others to an attack from hostile
interests, and by some to the timidity
of holders who disliked the policy of
expansion which the company has late
ly pursued.
An unsatisfactory feature is the
growing speculation on the long side
of cotton in the face of adverse con-
ditions. 1t may be true that the Amer
lean crop will not be a particularly
large one, but the price is already very
high and manufacturers find no profit
with cotton at IL cents,

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
BY YIN. 7. Williams.


The cotton market was weak during
the early part of the week, but later
stiffened and advanced to a range some
80 points above the previous week S
close. The feeling was quieter on Sat
urday, final quotations being about 10
points below top, and about 20 points up
for the week.
The movement was very heavy, reach
ing $4,000 bales for the week, against
464 500 last year.
Cotton is now over &c higher than
it was a year ago, and the bulls claim
this wonderful advance is due to the
natural laws of demand and supply on
the legitimate spot situation. On the
contrary, the market has been run up
by blind speculation of the widest
kind. This seems evident from con-
sideration of the following facts.
Although the amount in sight to

Rice Fleet Arriving.

A large number of rice schooners are
arriving at the Savannah Rice Mill
WharVes, foot of Barnard street, where
they discharge rough rice to be milled
The sloop Screamer arrived yesterday
with 900 bushels of rough rice, which
win be discharged early to-day. There
are few bags on deck, while the hold
and cabin are filled with loose rice.
The negroes live on deck, where they
have stove and cooking utensils. The
rice fleet is now on the move, and the
coming week is expected to witness
number of arrivals. The receipts are
said to be comparing well with last
year.

Harvey Granger on Lumber.

Harvey Granger, of the Granger
Stubs Lumber COMPANY, does not
look for any early decrease in the
lumber movement from Savannah. On
the contrary, he states the demand
continues to show Improvement and it
is his opinion an active fall is ahead,
with the demand for the yellow pine
in the East uD to what it has been at
this time in previous years. Mr.. Gran
ger sees no reason for any decline in
price or decrease in the movement. At

cloth, 81. so. Mr.. Tilford in this spirit
ed story has portrayed a unique per-
sonaity in the character of his Texan
hero, whose adventures, thrilling, hum
orous, and always excellently told,
make his book one to be gladly well
coined The author has such an easy
and firm grasp of 80 many of the ele-
ments of story writing that an en-
viable path seems to be blazed for him
in literature. The wild, free life of
the Texas prairie and Western plains
has never been death with more SYM
pathetically or in more truly artistic
spirit since the early writings of Bret
Harte. Mr.. Tilfords humor is fine
and pervasive, his dramatic power is
felt in several instances, and the per-
sonality of his hero is one that takes
hold of the heart of the reader.

successful stevedores are those who
can keep their labor in the best hui
NOR and get most work out of them
according to one man. The various
stevedores who load tramp steamers
at Savannah have had no trouble with
their labor this season, and they do
not expect any. The steamers that ar
rived here to load have been sent out
on time, and there have in no in
stances been any delays that gave ex-
Horters reason for complaint. This
speaks well for the port and assures
interior exporters what they may ex-
pect by handling their cotton through

Poems of Tennyson," edited by
Henry van Dyke and D. Lawrence
Chambers, A. M. CHM & Co., pub
fishers, 20 Beacon street, Boston; 12mo.
Cloth; 400 pages. Mailing price 81.
DR.. Henry van Dyke, in his edition of
"Tennyson's POEMS" has added his
with the publishers well-known "Ath-
enaeum Press Series" His volume,
including 1856 selections, presents with
in a small compass the best of Ten
nysons Poems. Set apart from the
mass of Tennyson's productions, they
make the task of the student simple
by leading him without confusion to
appreciate thoroughly the vital mean
ing of the poets work. The collection
is thoroughly representative, showing
the poet at the various stages of his
literary development. The text of the
poems is that of Tennyson's latest re-
vision. The selections admirably dem
onstrate DR.. van Dykes keen sense of
literary values. The book includes an
introduction giving a sketch of Tenny-
sons relation to his times, an account
of the poets life a description of the
way in which he worked, and finally
a summary of the leading character
istics of his poetry. 1t is presented in
a single volume easily carried in the
hand or pocket, and is equipped with
notes which are clear without being too
minute.

With the exports of late is noticed a
considerable quantity of sea island
cotton seed, for both the United King
dom and the continent. The probable
ity is this is for experimental planting,
possibly in South Africa. Efforts are
now being made to cultivate sea island
cotton in Cuba and elsewhere, and it
will not be surprising to the trade if
similar efforts are to be made in the
British new possessions. South Africa
has not given any great promise of de-
Veloping into a great upland cotton
country, and it remains to be seen if
efforts to cultivate sea island cotton
if this is what the seed being exported
are for, will turn out any more salts
