WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
BY VIM. T. Williams.

BY VIM. T. Williams.
The cotton market was fairly active
throughout the week, with a very nerv-
Gus and undecided tone. Fluctuations
were many within a comparatively
narrow range. Prices for the most
part ruled higher, especially for the
near months, September closing about
so points higher, and October II points
The later positions practically lost the
early improvement, closing at slight
changes.
1t seems that the bull clique were
buying the spot month, and also some
October; the latter developed it's rela-
tive strength in the last day or two
The September strength was not felt
IN New Orleans to any great extent
which would appear to indicate that
the clique may endeavor to work up
the month in New York, relying on the
lmpracticability of getting much cot
ton there during the remaining ten
days. New Orleans is rather too near
to Texas, where receipts are now com
ing up to respectable proportions.
Crop accounts continue to indicate a
very general deterioration in condition,
most marked in the most important
states. Rust and shedding are the
chief causes of complaints, with the
cool weather serving to keep the crop
backward. How much the damage will
amount to, of course cannot yet be
even vaguely estimated, but the con-
sentative element of the trade consid-
ers that some of the recent state re-
ports and other from interested sources
have been highly colored. The month
ly bureau report, however will
probably fall materially,
Only these recent crop damage re-
ports have enabled the bulls to sustain
the market, and at times the market
looked as if it had to break anyhow.
The wind UP of the September deal is
a possible occasion for a manifestation
of strength, but much more serious in
jury than yet experienced must come
II prices are to be permanently sus-
tained at the present elevation.
Cotton is at famine prices. The world
used 10, 100000 bales last year because
the price was around cents when the
great bulk of the crop was sold. Had
the early prevailing price been about
10 cents, it is hardly possible that as
much as 100000 bales would have
been taken. Consumption has recent
ly received a check from which it can
not recover all of a sudden. Hence.
even should the present crop prove no
larger than last years present prices
are too high to hold. And there are few
who will not admit that present pros
poets are for yield in excess of last
years total; how much more is the
question.

mentary story of how, about 1000
years ago, a prosperous and indus
trious and therefore a happy people
dwelt here; how they occupied perma-

fTolicked, and had barbecues and clam
bakes; how they worshiped and how
they had their wars, mostly
for defense; and how they lived
and loved, and how when they
died they were finally buried. But
the silent tombs from which most of
these interesting relies have been TAX

whence these Village Indians came nor
as to whittier they went. One of their
important cemeteries was located for
a long distance along Browns creek,
which the Tennessee Central Railroad
parallels with it's belt line around the
city, and although it has been subject
ed to much excavation and investiga-
ton, nothing more tangible than is
here recorded has been disclosed about
prehistoric Nashville"
Equally interesting is what Mr. Hem

HISTORY LORE OF
TENNESSEE TOWNS
Prehistoric Nashville Told of by MIR
e. III. Hinton.

e. II. Hinton.
Mr.. E. H. Hinton traffic manager of
the Tennessee Central Railroad, for
merly traffic manager of the Central
of Georgia, is the author of an inter
esting little brochure telling of the ira
ditions, historical and otherwise. of
the country through which the Tennes-
see Central runs. 1t is more than
a piece of railroad literature; it is a
entertaining little book for any one in
terested in the history lore of the
South. 1t tells the story of the early
period of Tennessee in a way that once
taken up the book can hardly be laid
down until it has been read from cover
to cover. 1t deals with more than
modern history. Mr.. Hinton has dug
up some facts from prehistoric period.
1t will surprise many people to read
that there are ruins near the capital
city of Tennessee antedating the Chris
tian era. This is a part of what Mr.
Hinton says of prehistoric Nashville
"At a time when the inspired Naza-
rene was preaching the doctrine of
Peace on earth, and good will to all
men, and by precept and example was
framing the most perfect moral code
ever yet devised for human guidance
and for human happiness; at time
when naughty Rome having just then
put behind her the republic which she
had exchanged for the empire, and I'M
der the dissolute rule of her imperial
and degenerate Caesars was even then
lettering TO her fall and at a time
when Horace with his Odes, Virgil with
his Eneid and Ovid with his Metamor-
phoses gave to the people their finest
poems as though the nation like the
Swan was to yield it's sweetest songs
in death, there existed where Nash
willie now stands populous city-a
city surrounded by bitches and meats
and with outlying forts to guard
against surprise in attack. 1t was in
habited by people whom we call as a
convenient designation Village In
dams who titled the fertile soil of the
surrounding country, and who through
long years of peaceful pursuits
attained a progress in the arts and a
civilization far superior to that of the
Indians who succeeded them-the In

cestors. They have left no written rec
ords, nor so far have any hieroglyphics
been unearthed to give up any clue 70

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


New York, Sept. 19.-The events of
the week have not been of a particu-
larly encouraging character. Damage
to crops in the Northwest, and fears
that the Balkan crisis might cause dis
turbing complications in Europe start
ed fresh selling movement, checking
a revival of confidence and precipitat-
ing a partial return of recent liqui-
dation. A portion of the selling was
attributed to the closing out of ac-
counts which were tided over the last
heavy break; while the bear attacks
were further stimulated by unfavor-
able developments connected with some
of the larger industrials, also the low
er prices for iron which those pes
simistically inclined profess to believe
are indicative of business reaction
These are the only new developments
in an otherwise sound situation, and
to them alone is due the irregularities
of the week just ended.
Reports of crop damage seem to have
been exaggerated as usual. Inquiries,
however, were chiefly local, and an
other week of freedom from general
frost will put corn and cotton out of
danger.
No change can be detected in the
monetary situation. Crop demands are
beginning to assert themselves and
bank reserves to decline in conse-
quence. Loans continue at high level
in spite of stock market liquidation,
but this appears to cause no concern
among bankers because of the strength
and character of their principal bor-
rowers. The fall is usually a period of
stringency in the money market, and
the last two years have witnessed rates
as high as 10 to 20 per cent. in the first
half of September; but this season
there have been no flurries of conse-
quence so far, though temporary high
er rates would cause no surprise. No
extreme stringency. however, seems to
be anticipated in spite of unsatisfac-
tory features, for the reason that spec
uIatiVe demands are small and will not
be encourage and the knowledge that
the treasury will liberate $4,000, 900 of
cash If necessary effectually wards off
unnecessary concern. One thing is
certain, that the money market is ade-
quate to all legitimate requirements,
and that demands of a questionable ma
ture will receive Scant conSidera ton.
Very soon we shall be importing gold
from Europe, the drop in sterling bring
ing us nearer the moving point. The
declines in cotton and wheat are also
favorable to an influx of gold. Should
Europe attempt to delay this move
ment we could easily extend our credit
in the European markets, so that re-
lief to the local money market from
that quarter is sure in any event.
