PRICE BUT CLOSED LOWER.
OFF AGAIN IN LATE TRADE.

TIONs CLEANED UP AT 81 lac.

ROsin Market Continues to Advance.
Opened With Improved Price on
Commons md Some of the PaIes
and Went Higher mt the Close
Post Market Trade Caused AnOtI,-
or Advance Scattered over the
List.
That the limit had not been reached
in the decline of the spirits market
was shown yesterday when, though
the market opened at the closing price
of the day before, 51Ac, the tone had
changed from firm to quiet, and the
sales amounted to but % casks. At
the close holders had decided to accept
a lower figure, and the quotation was
firm at 51l2c, with additional sales of
4S0 casks. Even here the decline was
not halted. for in the post-market bust
ness all sales were made at a furSher
drop of Nc. At this figure, however,
sales were large, and it is understood
that not only were the days receipts,
but all the small accumulations of
some days were sold. The receipts were
oS9 casks, and the shipments 80. The
New York market was reported dull,
at 55Ac. London was reported at
3S-101a.
In marked contrast to the falling
spirits market is the rosin market,
which continues to advance. At the
opening n and were each 10c higher.
and all grades from G to E showed
an advance of 21ac, represented by an
outside price. At the close the out
side prices were confirmed and c, B, A
showed a corresponding rise. In the
post-market trade there was another
general advance of 21zc on G. F. e. sc
on K, NJ, N and w. G. and, in some
cases. loo on l and 1Oc on H. The
receipts were 1877 and the shipments
1856. New York was quoted firm at
81. 90.

Daily Cotton Letter from New

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.
New York, Oct 2S.-Although the vol
ume of business to-day has been light.
the market has shown decided
strength. The immediate impulse to
the improvement was relief from the
widespread apprehension over the
North sea affair Press dispatches say
that Great Britain's demands are to
be referred by mutual consent to a
mixed commission, similar to The
Hague tribunal. If this commission
should decide on disciplining one or
more of the comma nderS in the Rus
sian feet the Russian government it,
self will be relieved of the stigma of
having been forced to submit to Great
Britain's demands Another feature
which has helped prices upward is the
comparatively small movement at
Houston, Galveston and New Orleans.
as compared with last year. During
the next three or four weeks there is
a probability that comparisons which
have heretofore been beariSh, may take
on a bullish color. 1t will be remem-
bered that the November movement
last year. in spite of the fact that it
was part of a crop of only 10000. 600
bales was practically as heavy as dur
ing the last two il, 100000 bale crops.
Heavy exports are also expected to
distinguish the close of the month of
October. which. by the way. will bring
into sight more cotton than was ever
marketed in a single month in any
season, and will probably reach the
neighborhood of $500. 900

subject in question, and we commend
it to our readers
Dear Sir:-I am now in St. Louis, en-
joying the Worlds Fair and thought
would drop you a few lines giving
you some important points about the
Fair We have heard in Washington,
d. c., from time to time, that colored
people were treated so badly, that it
would not pay them to attend the big
Fair I can tell you of my personal
experience, you are treated all right
You can get something to eat almost
anywhere, you are treated with the
greatest respect by everyone you may
come in contact with, and it would be
too bad to miss the Fair on any such
Misrepresentation as we have heard
in Washington. The street car con-
ductOrs are as polite as any set of men
it has fallen to my lot to meet, and
We have gone everywhere we wanted
to, and have been regarded and treat
ed as gentlemen. Hence me cannot
say too much in favor of the great
Worlds Fair. As TO the Negros
treatment, for it is good, anyone who
may feel that he can spare the time
and money to come out here, will be
well paid for his trip, let him be
white OF colored.
