Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

By H. & B. Beer
 The depressing feature of the market today and which occasioned further de- cline of B points to sS.40 for January fu- lures was the publishing of the esti- mate of the New Orleans I mes Demo- crat, it placing the apparent growth at Il, ,939 900. Liverpool was inclined to do better in early hours, the market ruling comparatively steady on buying by shorts to accept profits but the English market soon gave way upon learning of the es- innate arrived at by the southern journal, whose information in the past has proved quiet reliable. The figures published were accepted as an Index as to what might be expected from the agricultural de- partment of the national government next Saturday at 1915 a. m., New Orleans Meanwhile cotton has suffered serious decline on the mere presumption that the official estimate of the size of the crop will be in keeping with very large figures now prevailing. In the meantime spinners have stepped aside. letting the market decline of It's own weight feeling perfectly safe in being able to secure their necessary wants at leisure from so lower than now ruling. Local market spot holders staved off buyers until the
 very last moment today. They were not | inclined to sell on the basis of futures but 1 contracts were so weak and the country | so much lower that they had to give I in, in the long run, the market closing l easy at decline of 5-16. Middling S9-l6; 1 sales, 3250; to arrive, 3400.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The joy of having once more a real
party of opposition, says the Indian
apolis News Qnd.) is what has given
edge to the welcome accorded the Dem
ocratic platform, nominee, and, most
of all, the nominees telegram. THE
effect is already apparent. The Re-
publicans realize, to quote the saying
of almost any and every one of their
politicians, We have a fight on our
hands Which means what it says,
and more-that the party is on it's good
behavior"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says; "Of Judge Parker's letter to Mr.
Creelman declining to be interviewed
on the eve of the National Convention,
the Boston Herald says it constitutes
a surer warrant for public confidence
in its authors unselfish motive and
fidelity to right ideals of government
by the people than all the writing and
all the speeches of Mr.. Roosevelt since
he set out 10 capture a nomination.
But the greater the probability of the
Judges election, the more confident
the Republican papers are that it was
a despicable trick"
The Albany Argus CDem.) says: "Ex-
pecting that the high cost of living
will be made one of the prominent is
sues of the coming campaign, the Blu

He Changed Hi. Mind.

When the late William G. Whitney
was Secretary of the. Navy, in Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, says the New
York Herald, he gained the good will
of all the employees of the depart
ment because of the candor and kind
ness with which he treated them. One
morning he sent for the head of a
certain bureau and told him to make
the appointment of a man from New
York city. Later in the day the chief
of the bureau returned and said:
Mr.. Whitney, 1 want to ask you a
question, if you will be kind enough
to reply to it,
Certainly" said the Secretary in his
most affable manner, what is it?"
Il want to know if 1 am not su-
preme in my bureau?"
You are said the Secretary, with
just the suspicion of a smile lurking
in the corners of his mouth.
''Then 1 have control of the appoint
ments in my division; that is to say,
I do not have to make an appointment
unless l feel so disposed"
That is the situation precisely"
said the Secretary, the smile now be-
coming quite pronounced.
We'll. Mr.. Secretary" said the SUI
coordinate, coming to the point at last,
L don thlnk care TO make that
appointment"
Just as you say" said Mr. Whitney,
the smile now becoming a genuine
laugh. by the by" he added, Il
just said you were supreme. 1 shall
qualify that a bit. The President has
the power to remove you and appoint
your successor. You know that?"
"Oh, yes" was the confident reply,
Il know that"
"All right, then" said Mr.. Whitney.
"I'll let the President know that you
don't see your way clear to make this
appointment"
oh does the President want it?'
came the startled query.
yes"
"Ah-hem-night I ask you-as-a-
friend what you would advise me to
do under the circumstances?
We'll" said the Secretary, who en-
joyed the humor of the situation i'm
mensely, that depends on whether
you prefer public to private employ
ment for yourself"
why, public employment
Then said the Secretary. grave
ly, my advice would be that you
make the appointment"
And 1t was made very quickly.
