 NEW ORLEANS, Sept.

Near the close values eased off slightly, making the net gain 6 points on September and about points on the later months. The total visible supply cf all kinds decreased B. 900 during the past week. against an increase of 82 900 last year. of which the American de creased 45,o0o, against increase of lO3,- 900. The total visible supply of all kinds is i,oo5, 900. against I.3e 1000 last year, of which the total American is 402, 900, against 9o3. .oo last year. The spinners' takings of American cotton during the week were 99 900, against lo9 900 last year. and the total talk ings of American cotton from Sept to date has been I76ooo against POO, 900 last year. The weather on the whole continues favor able throughout the South. but the Washing ton prediction of a storm of decided charac- ter entering the Gulf of Mexico near the eX- tTeme southwest coast of Florida, with dan gerous winds expected along the central and southern portions of the Western Florida coast and middle and east Gulf. superinduced the sharp reaction established today. This was ac- celerated by the circulation of less favorable crop reports and the anticipation of cold weather in the Southwest While the various features may not mateliaIize, there is never theess a steady unlegfonc and the feeling Is more optimistic Consequently with encour- agement the tendency Will be towards a fur ther enhancement of lgces, providing there Is an improvement in thu lemand for spots

The Financier,s Statement.

NEW YORK. Sept. l2.-The Financier this week says: The chief feature of the official statement of the New York Associated Banl5s last week the loss of S oO8 700 in cash the decrease which was estimated upon the basis of the traceahe movements of money during the week. The discrepancy was prob ably principally caused by large unreDorted withdrawals of money early in the week which much more than offset the latter gains due to the return to the city of holiday moneys The deposits were increased on S64 300, making the reserve requirements Sl6.o75 more; adding this sum to the loss of cash made SI ,e24 775 as the increase in surplus reserve which now Is Sl5 372.2OO. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of S37. 295. 900 of public funds the surplus Is SPA. 693, 675. The loans than in the previous week The increase was most likely due to the extension of mercantile accommodation as there were no special trans action in collateral loans reported during the week She statement shows fairly good bal ance in the gain in loans less the loss of cash, calling for an increase of S258 300 in de posits. One feature was a gain Uf So27, 400 in circulation following more or less decrease in previous weeks The loans are S8 3S7, 200 in excess of deposits, against SC, 234 500 in the previous week. The daily average of clear ings for the five days was s 55 900 900 while in the week ending Sept it was S 62 ooo.- OOO. Comparing changes in the item of loans
 three of the larger banks gained $500. 900 net and the same number of institutions show a de- crease of Sl. 300, 900 net in cash. The surplus reserve now is Sl ,657. 25 greater than 1t was a year ago and, therefore, the banks are in a far better position to meet the seasons re- quirements from the interior for crop and for business purposes. Moreover, it seems prob able that If the Secretary of the Treasury shall be enabled to carry out his policy of increas- ing his deposits in country banks the with drawals by institutions from the interior from their New York correspondents will be much smaller than in previous years at this season

 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. l2.-Notwlthstandng generally clear weather map, market ruled steady at an advance of from 3 to 6 points at the opening this morning, occasioned by more favorable English cables than ex- pected In conjunction with predicted showers over Sunday generally throughout the cotton belt. A further advance was later recorded on the storm warning issued by the local weather bureau for the East Gulf States, which stated that a disturbance of decided character was en- tering the Gulf with dangerous high winds ex- pected to prevail Closing figures are at an advance of from to IS points over yester- day. Sentiment in the cotton market Is now more evenly divided the bearish trend so clear ly illustrated by the recent course of prices being decidedly less evident; all indications point to a traders market, based on the weather and the receipts. Traders bearishly inclined insist firstly that price is too high to permit of a normal consumption and sec ondly that an enormous yield has been as sured by satisfactory August weather. The first hypothesis is wide open to dbates since there is no assurance that the pric of manu- factured gods would positively rfuse to rise If there chance of spinners securing cheaper supplies later on The second proposition does not guarantee that the crop IS free from disaster and one incurs a consid- erable risk in assuming that a large yield is inevitable. which condition can only be brought about by practically ideal weather un- til the close of the picking season ana III thls connection the experience of last year is sig nihcant and again the lateness of the plant may make it susceptible to later date or frost than usual, in which case the full con sequence would be difficult to forecast. The farmer has given promise of forcing safes at any old price and latterly 1t is generally accepted belief that the stock of manufac- tured cotton goods throughout the world Is re- duced to an unprecedentedly low quanuty. which presents the question, should not raw cotton command more than the prevailing value It must be remembered that if tempt ing prices quoted spiners have large gap to refill and they cannot afford to be too over confident that succeeding crop will be excess sive even though the yield of leoo-o4 IS ade-

 NEW YORK, Sept. I2.-The cotton future market continued to show the effects of ner- Vousness among trading interests today, and there was considerable see-sawing over a rather narrow range.

The price of cotton in the South was hgured to be at parity with the local quotations and this has d tendency to encour- age caution on the part of short sellers until the South has declined a little further on its spot quotations. The crop news today was still rather mixed. though less bullish references were made to the damage by insects in the southwest Climatic conditions were a little uncertain. though on the whole there was a disposition to figure that the crop is prac tlcally out of the way of ordinary weather con- ditions. storms. however, will tend 10 re- tllct the. movement and therefore stormy weather is considered a bull factor

 NEW YORK, Sept I2.-The action of the market today shows that 1t. no longer seems to be short of cotton. Yesterday a great deal of pressure was brought out of the market in or der to break prices and this selling proves only temporarily successful. Today a recovery of about all tn loss took place and shorts showed more nervousness than before on this decline. The rally came very easy and prices advanced more rapidly than the decline yesterday. The crop accounts now coming in are not good. As to the truth, we are not in position to express an opinion. True or false. they are going to have an influence sntiment. The market is well sold out and ovelsold. Cotton is coming in slow and Southern spinners are taking all they can get. Northern spinners would like to get hold of cotton. The move- ment is too small to permit much of break at this time. We would not have any misgiv- ings about the policy of buying on all breaks again and being contented with small profits. We would not advise short selling for a while.

A SCARCE SEASON.

The following is from the Muir
phresboro Free Press. For such
farmers as the one mentioned there
i2no better place than Mississippi,
but we cannot have them until we
get one of the old ruts of the 'all
coeton policy" and try diversified
farming, for which this section is
better adapted than almost any other:
One OF our townsmen had occasion
TO dine with country friend a. few
days ago. The farmer had baconed
8 hogs and he was afraid he would run
short OF meat. That, at prices, would
be worth about 5000. The fale was
tMnfps and pork, a seven-pound bak-
ed hen with oyster dressing, mashed
Irish potatoes, cucumber and peach
pickles, macaroni, brown corn pone,
biscuit, sweet potatoes sliced in sugar,
boiled eggs swimming in gravy, stew
ed fruit, butter, milk and coffee, and
tor dessert chesscake and canned
cherry pie. Il regret" said the
co3ntry friend, that we do not live
close to market, as you do, SO we
could have better meal. This is a
scarce season in the country, and we
can not get hold OF much to eat. -
The town gent wondered how he
would go about supplying his table
more bountifully if close to forty mar

wa Work Candidates.

In Lee county the farmers have a
most unique organization, the purpose
of which Is to make the candidates
pay in hard labor for the support
pledges they receive. At a mass meet
ing Of the farmers recently held in
that county the following remarkable
resolutions we're adopted:
Resolved, That we purchase sup
ply OF hoes to be used by the candi-
dates in this campaign, and be it
Resolved, That when a district
candidate appears ON a farm we are to
require him to hoe two rounds of 400
yards each, and be it
Resolved, Thot all county cat3di-
dates be required to hoe ten rounds of
OF 400 yards each, and be it further
Resolved, That State candidates
who canvass in buggies be given a
double dose of work in the manner
above Outlined.''
BY this method the Lee county far
mers hope to make up for the valuable
time they lose each campaign year in
talking to candidates, and IL the
plan is generally adopted over the
State it will doubtless detract in a
large measure from the strenuousness
of the contests.

Louisville 00urier-JOurnal!1
hope Hanna's bill to pension
the Aormer slaves will be . law said
sGS: Bob Taylor, Of Tennessee,
who was at the Gait House last week.
1T is just what the South deserves,
and will bring some OF that 800, ,O00-
600 we pay out every year to veterans
in the North back to the South. It
will equalize things, for you know
all OF the old slaves live south OF the
Mason and Dixon lire The money
woald be put into circulation immedi-
ately upon its receipt and there
would be plenty Of prosperity in the
South. The old negro men could
marry young negro girls, and when
the husband died the wife could be
given a widows 9ension,' just the
same as is done up North. In this
way the money would keep coming in,
and the pensions would keep sending
it. But the bill will not be- passed
it is too good. Those who were slaves
are growing old and feeble now, and
need the money 1t would make
them comfortable in their old days,
but it will not come to them. The
bill will stay where it is-with the
Committee on Pensions in the
Senate.'

HELP TOO LATE.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox recently sent
out letters to several people OF wealth
and prominence, soliciting employ
ment for two young ladies who were
capable and accomplished and in every
respect qualified to fill the positions
which they sought. Mrs. Wilcox re-
ceived no response from her letters
which moves her to moralize thus on
an interesting phase OF human nature:
"Yet, had an appeal been made for
money to send these girls to a home
for incurables, to an insaue asylum or
to give them a fine Christian burial, l
am confident thousands could have
been obtained.
No one takes time to listen when a
man asks to be given employment,
which will help him to retain his SELF
respect; everybody takes time to read
the account of his death by starvation
or suicide, and thinks what a hard
world it is for the poor and unfortu-
nate.
