lBy Private Wire From Gilbert S Ciay,l
 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. Resentment in the cotton markets seems to be undergoing a change and we do not hear SO much rampant pear talk as vas in vogue a few days ago ana II IS beginning to be contended vigorously una. prices are approaching if not already at basis at which spinners will come into the VIII refrain from offering freely the mill men nave been told to walt for lower prices that the crop was large. but as the price recedcs we ind less disposition on the part of inc farmers to sell. while the middlemen and shlppers have been offering an enormous amount or cotton discounting prices in tho anticipation of heavy receipts. and the conse- 9uent generalization of spots. Which. Is usual mas created an oversold market, and up to date spinners have bought in very small quantities, in most instances barely a month"; s supply constitutes their entire purchases This condition should. in the near future bring a great many into the market. Liverpool cables that better feeling exists there to-day and yesterday. and says they think unless you decline we shall advance. The local spot market gives evidence of a greatly improved tone with more inquiry and the interior of- Iering less freely Consols and silver both record an advance and monetary matters pre- sent more settled appearance.
 Dry goods. however, very quiet with little doing. The advance in futures to-day was accustomed by shorts covering, a better inquiry for and the improved tone of spots together with forecasts for cooler and unset tied weather conditions. We do not look for an immediate extended advance. but by req sctIoh may occur at any time. However, the slgns begin to multiply that the shrewd in- vestor on the long side should place himself Tn position to operate at favorable moments

MARKETS FOR FUTURES DECLINING TENDENCY OF SHORT DURATION. Exported That spinners Had Been Attracted to the Market by the
 Recent Decline of
 Prices.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to to points on better cables than expected and expecta- lions of less favorable weather including lower temperatures in Texas, accompanieed by rains After the call some of the months showed . little further gain. but the receipts Of the day were heavy and there was soon . renewal of bear pressure that eased prices off to within few points of yesterdays nnals Receipts were being circulated however, tnat spinners had been attracted into the market at the decline and private advices indicated a steadier tone into the Southern markets Tn addition to this 1t was argued that the decline had been rather more rapid than the condition of the crop as reported warranted and that a considerable short interest nad undoubtedly been accumulated that might sooner or later turn for profits At any rate the declining tendency was of but short du- ration and prices before midday were work ing upward with several prominent interests heavy buyers The advance was encouraged by rather lighter estimates for tomorrow receipts at leading points and further unfa- vorable advices respecting the crop bull room longs turned for profits after a net gain or from l7 to 20 points, and the market in the early afternoon eased several points rom the best It rallied again before the close, however. by more or less general COW ering led by houses with southern connec- tions and closed steady. tml6 points higher.

TOBACCO AT LOW PRICE.
Farmers Are Still Disposed to With

Durham special to The Washington Post.
 Receipts of leaf tobacco the past week have been very light except on Friday. when there was fairly good break. the last Of the new warehouses having its opening sale Prices were shade better, though they are still very toM' The quality marketed has been much bet UI the past two weeks than formerly Nearly al, aI the Ioeacco has been cut and cured and the crop VIII be about an average one as to weight while the color will be better than usual many many or the old farmers declaring they have never seen It cure easiner or better than the season just closed " 'i'o
 word comes from Eastern and North South carolina that the farmers in that section will quit raising tobacco and go back to cotton
 which Is now selling remuneratiye figures some people In a position to know claim that one or the chief reasons why leaf tobacco is so low Is that the American Tobacco Comnanv whicn now controls the price of the weed, is oVerstocked and does not want the selling sea = son to open until 1t has worked un as rnI1cb of last years crop as possible Certain 1t Is that the prices paid now are from 100 to la5 ner cent lower than year ago, which hardly pays the cost or production. There Is a more en- couraging state of feeling among inc farroa-s the past week in the golden belt. They are hoping for better prices. though just why thev should iS hard to say.

Bears were as heretofore. talking about big crop, but 1t is understood that talk alone does make bales and there is every indication that the crop will turn out as well previously believed. Re
 ceipts are not running so large as looked for cline and should do better especially as we may have frost at early date. The situation in Texas continues unsatisfactory and is believed to be much worse than gen erally supposed. Unless receipts pick up won derfllly the next two weeks, shorts will suf- fer considerably. Prices opened good deal higher but soon weakened. There were signs of nervousness in bear quarters because re
 ceipts while heavy. still heavier. and it was considered a difficult thing to catch up with last years figures. Predictions If colder weather in Texas led to better buy

 NEW YORK, Oct 7.-The market for cot ton futures opened hrmar in tone to-day with first prices at an advance of one to 10 points This advance was the result of better Eng iish market news than had been looked for shorts shorts were rather nervous and many of them rushed to cover on a free basis. The weather map was favorable to holders in that lower temperatures were indicated. while In some sections of the belt rains were promised and 1t was figured that conditions of this sort would delay picking. and would probably cause sT diminution in the general movement The receipts, however, for the day were quite liberal and on this there was considerable selling for both sides of the account on nil nrm spots. There was a lot of selling for the account of people closely identified With cer- tain prominent bearish interests However. the bears were compelled to work hard in order to maintain their position There was good support on the lower levels. end the market during the greater portion of the late session reflected relatively firm undertone. The spot cotton markets were steady under a fair de- mand. and moderate offerings. For the week the ports receipts were estimated at 47, GOO against So,ooo last week. and 38 2s last year. For the week. the port receipts were estimated at 3l5,000 against 2eI 34S last week, and 2556l2 last year. At Houston to- day over 100 900 bales were received indica- tion that the interior movement was also sub stantial proportions.

Cuced what is known as Tyndale's

portion of the Scriptures ever print

One great part Of Coverdale's

Gay; namely, his version of the
Psalms. 1t is well known to all stu
GENTS OF the text of the Psalms that
the Prayer-Book Version differs
WIDELY from both the Authorized

ana the difference is due to the fact
that in the liturgy the text stands
practically as it was printed IN the

Is known as Cromwelrs, or the Great

edited by Coyerdale; and the text Of
the Psalms in that edition differs in
many minor details from the text Of

THE LON STEPHENS OF AMERICAN
PRESIDENTS.

The retirement Of General Mile
without any complimentary order
from the executive mansion or from
the war department was contrary tC
established precedent in such case;
and was not an accident, but was
fully discussed by Secretary Root and
President Roosevelt weeks before.
1t was a snub aud intended for a
snub, ~cOnfeSSedly so. The defense
set up by the administration organs
is that General Miles was irritating
to Mr.. Roosevelt; that he was spec
tacular self. centered, and talked too
much; that he was on too good terms
with press agents and that he some
times gave expressions to opinions
upon military subjects without con-
sultation with his superiors, which
were often embarrassing to the
political purposes Of the administra-
tion. In other words General Miles
was too much like Mr., Roosevelt to
be in favor with him. He took that
ninety mile ride a few days ago,
though he knew that Mr.. Roosevelt
was the Great Rough Rider. He
blew his own horn through the news
papers sometimes, but then one car
in Mr.. Roosevelt's train on his trans
continental trip was devoted exclu-
sively to press agents. Mr.. Roose-
velt can't sneeze without mention Of
1t in the newspapers, but General
Miles can spend a year on a tour of
inspection Of the Philippines and his
official report is chucked away in a
pigeunhole like a school boys com-
position. And what does it matter
to the people Of the United States
whether Mr.. Roosevelt likes General
Miles or not? If he has ever been
guilty Of positive insubordinatlon, he
ought to have been courtmartialed
long ago. But it is no small matter
for a man who, without previous
military education, rose from the
ranks to the highest Office in the
United States army, who had won
honorable distinction in the service
OF his country while the president
was still "a babe puking in its
nurses arms" to be suubbed by a
youth who a few years ago was known
only as a broncho buster and free
trade agitator. A few more slips of
this kind and Mr.. Roosevelt will 20
down in history as the Lon V.
Stephens of American presidents.
