All the Way From Nome.

We lately received batch of News papers from Alaska-"THE NOME NUG- GET''-sent us by Mrs. Fred w. Grain, of Nome. THE NUGGET is bright, newsy, up-tO-date publication. It is is- sued twice week. on Wednesday and Saturday, and is 25 cents per copy rather high-priced as viewed by eastern standards, but presumably small item in the eyes of the Alaskans where gold is the chief product. The news is mainly mining topics, although there are also some social and personal notes. There are contained in the newspaper many advertisements, just the kind and variety to be found in any eastern paper, butchers, bakers. grOcers, druggists, etc., and even an tad" for ''ping-pOng sets, the most fascinating game"
 Taken all in all, THE NOME NUGGET is Q most interesting paper, and cer. tainly keeps it's readers we'll up in all the news of the outside wOrld.-Ossin- ing, N. Y.. Democratic Register.

Crowley Gave the Pistol.

Jerry Crowley, Bonanza creek Norton bay, claim owner, was probably the closest friend that Sam James, the former police officer, killed last Janu- ary, had in Nome. Mr. Crowley came up from Bonanza creek the other day. To representative of THE NUGGET he said yesterday that the Derringer revolver found when James was shot was given by him to James last summer. It was present to Crowley by former sheriff of an Ore gOn county, whom he met at Tonopah, Nev. James saw it, admired it and put it in his pocket, saying to Crowley, ''you don't need this"
 The prosecution's star witness in the Jolley trial, Lottie Wilson, swore that Jolley gave the Derringer to James.

Boyle, chief clerk of the rail- way mail service, at St. Michael, states that information had been received at that place from General Greedy, chief of the signal service bureau, that wire less telegraph stations would be erected this summer at St. Michael and Nome.

0. E. Pierce 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

IBy Private Wire From c. w. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Cotton opened in the air this morning on the frost news. It now looks as though the crop condition was a very serious one and all prospects of a top crop in many sections has been destroyed This means trouble before the end cf the season. The date of frost is not only earlier than usual by two weeks, but the crop itself Is fully two weeks later than usual. This means differ ence of anywhere between three and five weeks fin the length of the growing season. It is ab- surd to think that crop can be made under these conditions. It is q small wonder that shorts are growing frightened. The volume of covering orders was large this morning. Bear circulars sent the country have induced some short selling and these people have all lost money. There will be more lost before Spring if the short side is continued It may not be the time to buy cotton on such an ad- vance, but there is nothing to sell cotton short on this Very high prices are likely to prevail before Spring. There lots Of things to say against the long side of cotton but they all sink into nothingness when the size of the crop is considered. It is not i'm possible that the yield may prove less than TO- 800. 900 bales and this is a disaster. A crop disaster means wild fluctuations and big money if catch the swing. American spinners have got to buy pretty soon and there can hardly be much of d break without an en- tire change in the cotton situation. We would not be afraid 10 buy cotton any good breaks,

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct 26.-Cotton starts tb. week with the bulls in full control and onentnS prices today in all markets were at en ad vance caused by numerous frost reports tnroughout the belt, and the general belief that the crop Is continually losing ground The knowledge that the season Is from two to three weeks late.. coupled with the frost news. re- suited in shock to many shorts who looked upon the frequent mo top crop'' statement as way under the actual facts. The pronounced advance in Liverpool generally believed to have been caused by bullish private cables sent rom this side by a prominent English estima- tor. The trading today was on an enormous scale, many thousands of bales changing hands without the variation of a point in price and exemplifed the broadest of broad markets. While numerous orders were in evidence from the outsider, the public does not seem to have as yet entered the arena a grand scale. and the majority of the trading was for friRht. ened shorts and satisfied bulls Never was the situation in cotton so highly speculative, sthe immediate turn of prices after tho October shorts are out of the way depends mainly on the battle now being fought between the spin -ner and the producer and while we are firm in our belief that prices will ultimately rule much higher, we do not advise purchases after the recent advance and would under no circun,- stnces sell short. The proper course seems to us to buy on every good break, realizing at strong periods as the season of receipts has yet to be passed therefore e conservative course will be wise and there will probably be periods of undue depression when cotton can be picked up for long pull.

WALL STREET. REVIEW
LITTLE DIFFICULTY IN BIDDING
 UP PRICES.
The Professional operat,rs Have the Market to Themselves, and the
 Total of Transaction is Small.

NEW YORK. Oct 2e.-Professional operators did not find much difficulty in bidding up prices today and their operations made up the large part of the rsther limited stock market They met light offerings as prices adtanced but they attracted no outside following to sneak Of Some buying by uncovered bear operators was induced and this helped somewhat in the advance. In the occasional pauses in the pro- fessionsl operations on the advance the market fell into an almost stagnant condition, but yielded little The closing was strong and not especially encouraging and. in fact. offered several doubtful factors. But the traders are inclined to argue that the resistance offered by more and Pittsburg is evidence of an underly- ing condition of strength. These failures not only exercised an influence of their own, but they aroused spirit of suspicious inquiry into banking and trust company conditions as a whole. This makes 1t improbable that these conditions have any surprises in store, in the banking world. specino reports of improved contributed to the feeling of encuoraxement The advance in prices was not affected by the admissions in the weekly reviews of railroad traffic that the general traffic situation does not look 90 strong as 1t did . month ago. This is in strong contrast to the great confidence expressed by tyaffic officials over the future of business up to this time. This weeks report smaller volume than 'at any time in many months, and for the first time in a long while some of the rosds have their; freight solicitors ecrivety " Wofk 48asn. NOW that the evi- dence of depression is appearing at other points Wall Street experiences the relief from having already gcne through this process of contraction: There wss also an appreciably hrrner market for time money today and call loans rose to per cent. when belsted bor- rowers supplied their needs. New York ex- change at Chicago fell to 50 cents discount and attention is awake for the long expected move- ment of currency westwards. Since July the New York sub-treasury has transferred only Sloo. 900 to Chicago. while for the same ps- riod of last year there wss transferred to that point through the Goyefnment institu- tons S5. .2so.oo0. A conjecturai explanation of the unexpectedly light decrease in cash re- serves last week is that funds finding invest ment in bonds are withdrawn from trust com panies deposits while the bond sellers are de- posting in the banks Today's speculation centered in Amalsamated Copper. which rose an extreme 3A. The advance was based on much the same kind of argument as that in other stocks. namely that the harm from the Montana litigation was discounted in the pre- ytous decline of the stock. 4

NEW YORK, Oct, 26.-The cotton market opened strong at an advance of 2o94S points amidst great excitement and active covering by shorts who were evidently in a semi- panicky condition q result of sensational ad- vance in Liverpool and reports of more or less general frosts ranging from light to killing that were reported over the central and eastern beits betwen the closing of the market last Saturday and its reopenfng this morning.

De- cember sold at Slo.3A. net gain of 3S pointA; January touched 1928, March 10 20, May this brought out huge blocks of long cotton. but the demand from shorts tremendous and while prices slowly sagged down from the best point of the market until a break of some 25 points on october and of from | to l7 points on the more active positions had been recorded. the undertone all the time was strong and excited. The realizing was encouraged by the heavy movement and warm weather, but aditional news of frost kept pouring in and the local bull leader kept on buying December and January, giving rise to all manner of sensational rumors as to a corner in the nearby positions. The market was, in fact, more ac- tive and more exciting than any that has been witnessed since the spectacular developments accompanying the old bull campaign and shortly after midday prices rallied up to the best levels of the session the latter months
 while October continued l3n2o points under the high price of the morning. At the best oi the afternoon December sold at 35. January at.

The transactions fol the day surpassed all previous records the to- tai sales being estimated at 500, 900 bales overcrowdlng all of the blackboards and the slates which have been provided for such cases and running over on pieces of cardboard, mak. ing 1t next to impossible at times to lIeer track of the course of the market. The market was finally steady with trading still active and prices net 26954 points higher this being a reaction from the best of 8 points on October and from l to points on the later positions Estimates for tomorrows receipts were very heavy.
