Leopard's Spots Not a
"Great' Novel.
CONTINUED from Page Six.

resting attention, and keeping it on the
lookout without fatigue or d%isappoint-
ment. Such at least was my own expert
ence as mentioned above. He decorates
to some extent, and whatever the def
cheney of his style, he cannot be accused
of obscurity or undue prolixity or ex-
cessive melodrama. There are scores of
fine passages and some of the Inning of
the actors impress me as particularly
clear-cut and skilful, with genuine flesh
and blood under the garments worn. His
descriptions are often striking and well
finished, and the conversations are some
times of singular interest without exces-
sive strain or e~pigrammatic burden. He
is probably with two or three exceptions
the most widely read of Southern authors.
He is not "a prophesier Of things past, :
but a describer of things recent and i'm
perative. He has a plenty of ardor, Of
passion, Of incisivness, fills his chapters
with varied Incidents, sketches character
with a rapid, bold hand, and keeps you
On the alert. He is real, treats Of life,
however OF action, however
unusual or surprising: of incidents how
ever extraordinary; of descriptive Genes
however strange or fascinating, with a
free. confident, impressive manner. There
are scenes of conspicuous interest, some
dramatic, some full of light and beauty
and love. and all done with fine felicity
and vivid skill. If that is too strong then
alter to suit your fine Judgment and
more artistic taste.
| think in The Leopard'S Spots" If
read with sympathy and in a receptive
spirit, you will find precision of touch,
BILE scorn for the mean and deprav-
ed and v~illainous, and high admiration
for the gracious and good, the noble and
true. You will find boldness of outline,
exquisite glimpses of the pure and lovely,
a consuming scorn for yelled scoundrelism,
and a genuine hate for things diabolica
and detestable. Women fare well indeed
under his brush-women for admiration,
alteration, love. You will meet with many
ringing, appealing periods, much of
rich verbal expression many noble sen
timents, some very genuine eloquence
hat arouses and stimulates and delights.
If not the greatest artist in words among
the Southern novelists, he at least asserts
mean skill in description, of some rythm-
ical capacity. and at times of impressive
verbal excellence, and no little of ro-
mantle fervor. If | claim too much for
him credit it to friendship, incapacity and
l~critical blindness.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 12.-The action Of the
market today shows that it IS now no
longer safe to be short of cotton. Yes
terday a great deal of pressure was
brought to bear on the market in order
to break prices, and this selling proved
only temporarily successful. Today a re
covery of about all the loss took place
and shorts shoWed more nervousness than
before on the decline. The rally came
very easily and prices advanced more
rapidly then they declined yesterday. The
crop accounts now coming in are not
good. AS to their truth, we are not in
q position to express an opinion. True
or false, they are going to have an IN
fiuence On sentiment. The market is well
sold out and in fact oversold. Cotton is
coming in slowly and Southern spinners
are taking all they can get. Northern
spinners would like to get hold of cotton.
The movement is too small to permit
much Of a break at this time. We would
not nave any misgivings about the policy
of buying cotton on all breaks again and
Being contented with small profits. AS
the market stands now there is more
danger of a sharp advance over ten cents
than a break to nine and a quarter cents.
the Civil War. and new Cotton will dis
aonear in the most astonishing way.
Cotton at nine and a half and three
quarters cents is not high as long as
the size of the crop is in doubt. We
would not advise short selling for a while.

Trade conditions are still uneven. but
the general drift is toward Improvement.
\ more assured feeling as to the corn crop
out-tuln IS manifest, conditions in most
states having improved since September
|. State Fairs and low rate excursion
have stimulated western distribution.
while good prospects for corn, cotton, rice
and sugar at the South have made Tor
cheerfulness IN that section. Eastern trade
advices are OF less notable activity, but
signs OF Improvement in the cotton mill
situation are seen. Some heavy sales Of
print cloths are reported, and a number
OF mills have announced an approaching
early resumption OF operations The lum-
Der market shows contrasts in different
sections. In the West lumber andbuilding
material of all kinds are active and firm.
but at the East the resumption of build
ING operations at strikeinfested cities
has not been sufficient to keep those mar
kets strong. The iron trade is rather pes
slmlstic. buyers persisting in holding off,
but the declines in Northern and Western
iron reported this week are largely sym
pathetic, the result of the reported addi-
tonal cuts IN the Southern product.
