Baxter & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, October 26.--There was an active speculation in the first two hours, and the prices were bid up with consider abe spirit. There were no unfavorabe developments over Sunday in line with the rumors that were in circulation late Sat urday, and this gave a negative encour- agement at the start, but sentiment was more directly influenced by radical strength of copper. The proposition of the Butte miners to buy out the Maglnnis llt- igants, while coming to naught, suggested the possibility that the situation might speedily reach crisis and be settled sat isfactorily. There were few set backs to copper in it's rise. and it closed at a net gain of per cent. Anaconda advanced 2 per cent The strength of St. Paul was also encouraging, and the rise in North- western of per cent was regarded as having an investment in speculation There was aggressive bull movements in Union Pacific and Atchison, both gaining over a point net. The entire railroad list showed good gains over Saturdays clos ing The industrial list responded with higher prices, some of these specialtles advancing sharply. The local fractions showed decided strength. there were un- usual dealings in Chicago Union Traction on rumors of promise in settlement of Traction affairs in the city, and this stock rose oyer per cent. The market closed strong under the lead of Atchison Rail- road bonds were in demand today

 Fruits were plentiful all along the ave- nue Apples of several varieties are to be had in abundance and fresh shipments of grapes came in before the close. The fruit Is very fine and has been having a heavy sale for the past few weeks.
 Cranberries are not much in evidence just now. They are so high that dealers hesitate to handling them. When Thanks giving draws near there will be a lively demand, however. and produce men will then have plenty to supply all orders.
 Live poultry was much in evidence yes terday at several places. The sale of fowls has been unusually heavy for per- haps two weeks and still continues. No changes in quotations are noted.

cothra, G Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By c. W. Lee & Co.
 New York; October 26.-Cotton opened in the air this morning on the frost news. It now looks as though the crop condition was very serious one, and all prospects of a top crop in many sections has been destroyed. This means trouble before the end of the season. The date of frost is not only earlier than usual by two weeks, but the crop itself is fully three weeks later than usual. This means a difference of anywhere between three and five weeks in the length of the growing sea- son. It is absurd to think that a crop can be made under these conditions.
 It's a small wonder that shorts are growing frightened. The volume of cov- ering orders this morning was large. Bear circulars sent broadcast over 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 advance but there is nothing to sell cotton on short of this season. Very high prices are likely to prevail before spring. There are 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 impossible that the yield may prove jess than ten and half million bales, and this Is a disaster. A crop dis aster means wild fluctuations and big money if one can catch the swings Amer ican spinners have got to buy soon, and there will hardly be much of a break without an entire change fin the cotton situation. We would not be afraid to buy cotton on any good break.

The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 26-Spot cotton strong and higher under the influence of better Liverpool and Manchester; the im- provement in New York and the decided advance in futures. Sales, 11,2O0 bales, in- cluding 6900 to arrive. Quotations ad- vanced A. In response to the sensational advance in Liverpool and the bulge in New York, futures opened Il to 19 points higher than Saturdays closing. Nervous shorts covered at heavy losses, while the bulls took on additional cargo. One of the features of the morning was the quiet but heavy bidding of prominent longs There was no spectacular bidding, but heavy traders on the long side took every thing offered through brokers. The effect on the news from the English market tell ing of an advance of 10 points in spots and from 13 to 19 points in futures, and of a forecast predicting m.ch frost was evidently considered sufficient for the time being by the bulls. While many shorts covered, other shorts went shorter at near the top prices of the day, evil dently considering that a reaction would follow the present advance. During the forenoon October sold up to 10 10; Novem- Der, 9.9s: December, 10; January, 10.06; February, 1o.11; March, 10.21; April, 1O. 26 May, 0.33, and June, 0.36.

help falling deeply in love with the hand
some youth, who was so good, attentive
and reserved, of such agreeable manners
and Of so fine a figure. So it happened
one day, at the time of the Cuban war,
that the young and poor captain of the
staff, undoubtedly urged on by persistent
indications and encouragements from his
royal sweetheart, presented himself be-
fore the Queen and said: LAS your Majes-
ty has always been so generous toward
me. 1 beseech you to grant me two
favors. The first is that your Majesty
will be pleased to give the necessary or
ders permitting me to do my duty as a
soldier by going to the war in Cuba; and

members. as Don Alfonso was still child,
a man was really needed in the house,
but he must be a respectful and submis-
sive man and-above ALA person whose
temperament and character inclined to
keep him entirely aloof from state affairs
and allow the Queen Regent always to
do just as she pleased. Everything led
her TO believe that Don Carlos possessed
all these qualities, which she so much de-
sired to see in her future son-in-law; con-
sequently when he had returned from Gu
ba, the Queen announced to him and to
Mercedes that she gave them her consent
to be married
AN UNPOPULAR MATCH.
So Princess Mercedes and Don Carlos
de Bourbon were married on the 18th Of
March. 1901. and everybody will remem-
Der the violent manifestations Of hostiI-
ity which this wedding provoked IN Ma
drid and all over Spain, because the lib
eral elements of the kingdom protested
against the Princess, who was helress to
the throne, being given in marriage to the
son of the same Count Of Caserta who
when he was general Of the Pretender
Don Carlos had taken part in two most
sanguinary civil wars, fighting against
liberty and the army of Alfonso XII, the
father of her who was now going to be
his daughter-in-law.
But these hostile demonstrations, which
caused numerous victims among the peo-
pie. did not matter to the Queen, nor
to the Princess Mercedes, nor to Don
Carlos de Bourbon. The Queen only want
ed to please her daughter and, above all
to show once more that when she had
set her mind upon doing a lcertain thing,
nobody could prevent her from having
her own way. AS for the Princess, she
thought only of marrying the man whom
she so dearly loved; the rest did not trou-
bic her much. With regard t9 Don Carlos
he must have thought that a few demon
strations Of displeasure on the part of
the people were nothing compared TO the
advantages of becoming the husband OF
an heiress to throne
On the other hand. in the days which
preceded the wedding the poor captain
could not have had much time to take no
tice Of those manifestations Of discomfort,
for the preparations for his wedding
caused him such serious preoccupation.
because. although it is true that the valu-
able jewels and rich dresses which he Of
fered to his august bride were bought for
him by his protectress. the Infanta Isa-
bel, still it is equally true that he had to
think Of buying his own personal effects.
