Stocks and Bonds.

New York, oct. 17.-The anima-
ton which grew up in the speculation
in the latter part of last week showed
further increase to-day. From start
to finish of the session of the stock
exchange there was practically no
cessation of the active business on the
floor, which taxed the resources for
recording transactions at times and
kept the faculties of the brokers at a
tension throughout the day. Large
crowds were trying to do business at
the same time at the posts where
the faVorite active stocks were dealt
in While great confusion was APP

occurred with the most important sell

the skiiIful leadership existing. The
days movements. to that extent, had
an artificial character. The new
buying came from many different
quarters and an important proportion
of it came b. the cable. The most
notable buving and the greatest
strength were in L. S. Steel preferred

points of strength, the most notable

Cotton Letter

halelgh, N. c., Oct. 1.-THE mar
het To-day was probably one of the
11ioSt disappointing of the season.
1dIly IN the day Liverpool made
luli response to the steadiness here
on saturday but later on the local
market worked off under bear pres
sure ana lower level was reached
lhah any touched last week. There
was talk Of a storm in the Southeast
as well as of possible frosts moving
down through the Carolinas but this
has no effect on prices. There was
the same bear pressure in evidence
ana the same absence of general
support. Below ten cents, however,
there appeared to be more buying and
spot houses again stated that the
South was offering very little cotton.
Receipts were larger than for the cor
responding DAY last week, and in the
absence of public buying professional
operators took advantage of the stu
alton to depress prices in order to
make their small profits AS far as
the cotton situation was concerned
there was absolutely no change in
evidence. 1t seems to be a conflict
now between the Southern grower and
the spinner. The latter seems willing
to buy on any decline below ten cents
though the Southern producer is not
disposed to sell very freely. And adj
verse developments on a decline of this
kind would bring about a, sharp adj
vance as the level of the future mar
ket is so close to that of the spot
markets il the South that it does not
anticipate a radical change in the re-
laUons between the two For this
reason we cannot but believe in pur-
chases on all declines for the time
being.

New York Oct 1.-THE cotton
marktt ruled moderately active and af-
ter some early irregularity was gener
ally easier under selling promoted by
reports of easier spot cotton in the
South. The opening was firm and UNI
changed: prices to an advance of 6
points. Some private adVices, how
ever. Indicated frost in portions of the
Northern belt and there was talk of a
cold wave, this seemed to supply a
buying motive that was acted upon to
some extent early by wire ana COM
mission houses. But after working
up 60 net advance of about or Z
points the market weakened under
active selling by local bears and free
offerings for the account of a leading
spot interest. During the balance of
the session there were occasional re-
cessions as shorts took profits, but the
general course of the market was
downward. and at the close prices
showed n net decline of 10 a l 5 points
The tone was steady.
Sales were estimated at 100000.
Business was again largely of "a pro-
fessional character. Port receipts
for the day were rather over expecta-
tons and the discrepancy between in
terror receipts and shipments suggest
ed a further accumulation of stocks
at interior towns.

New Orleans, oct. 17.-At the
opening there was a fair demand for
spot cotton. but the decline in fu-
lures caused buyers to withdraw and.
prices eased off Is.

favorable Liverpool cables and renort-
cd frost over a, portion of the north

the opening, however, New York bears
commenced to sell quietly but persist

How Bishop Potter Got the Best Of a
Treasured Joke.

San Francisco is still repeating
and laughing over the bonmots
Bishop Potter let drop on the oc-
casion Of his visit TO that city two
years ago to attend the Episcopal
convention.
AT that time the citizens were
very much astlr because the famous
eastern bishop was to be a visitor
within their gates, and they We'd
with one another to honor their
guest. The bishop was kept busy
declining the invitations that he had
not time to accept. But one invita-
ton that he did avail himself Of
was to occupy the magnificent resi-
dence Of William Croker, one of the
millionaire families of which Mrs.
Francis Burton Harrison and Mrs.
Alexander are eastern representa-
tives.
The house is a snowy one, situat-
ed upon Mob hill, where the early
California milIionaires built their
homes, so it is ''show place" 1t
came to have a double interest when
1t was occupied by the bishop. One
day San Franciscan was showing
the group of residences to a friend
who was visiting in the city. As
they approached the "Will Crocker"
home he sprang the treasured joke
which he had been saving for the
right moment. "This," said he,
with a flourish, ''is Mr.. Crocker's
Pottery"
He did not recognize the gentle /
man who was at that moment de-
scending the steps. 1t was the bish-
OPP, who could not help oyerhearing
and who had a twinkle in his eve.
81 beg pardon for correcting YOU"
he said, but you are mistaken. This
is Bishop Potter's Crockery."-
