IMPORTED CIGAR STAMPS.
Hearing Will Be Allowed the In
terests That Are Concerned.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Acting Secre-
tary of the Treasury Taylor has sus-
pended the order for the making OF
new customs stamps for imported
cigars until all parties who might be
affected by the proposed change can
be heard. He has fixed next Satur
day morning for a hearing, and has
invited to be present all parties in in
terest, stating that it is the desire of
the department to receive the fullest
information possible before final ac-
ton is taken.
1t is proposed to change the design
and materially decrease the sizA of the
customs stamp affixed to boHes con-
tanning imported cigars, and to change
as is now used for internal revenue
stamps. 1t was also proposed to place
the new stamp on the bottom of boxes
in order to make it less conspicuous
and to leave off the word Imported.
1t is argued in favor of this change
that very few other imported articles
of commerce are required to have an
import stamp affixed to them and that
the only purpose it serves is to give
the imported cigar an unfair advan-
tage over the domestic. The opponents
OF the change insist that the stamn
is necessary to protect the public from
imposition, and that as the law re-
quires a stamp to be affixed to the box.
1t should not be hidden, and so de-
feat the purpose of the law

THE WHALEY FAILURE.
Said That Southern Mills Will Not
BE Affected.

Boston, Sept. 21.-In connection with
the bankruptcy petition of William e.
Smith Whaley, the cotton mill pro-
moter, with liabilities of $1,114O00. F..
L. Norton, counsel for Mr.. Whaley
stated to-day that he was convinced
that mills in the South, in which Mr..
Whaley had been heavily interested,
would not be affected.
John o. DeWolfe of Cambridge,
Whaley's partner, states that the lat
ter was interested in the Olympia
Richland and Grandy mills of Column
bia, S. c., and was president of these
up to a year ago. At that time it
was necessary to reorganize the three
mills.
MIR. Whaley and his friends" said
DeWolfe, used their personal re-
sources to carry these enterprises
through the hard times, with the re-
suit that they became heavy indorserS
of mill paper, and the reorganization
left this burden upon them. The pres
ident of the three properties mentioned
is now L. w. Parker of Greenville, 5.
C. They are not affected, and are
running to-day"
The engineering firm of w. B. Smith
Whaley & Co. was dissolved to-day. A
new firm was at once organized, how
ever, with the same persons as MEM
bers, including Mr.. Whaley and John
o. DeWolfe of Cambridge. The new
firm name is Whaley & Co.

Caused Their Patrons TO Take Pro-
fits On Advance.
New York, Sept. 21.-The demand for
spot cotton to-day to fill September
shipments has been intense, and from
all over the South we hear of advances
from A@Ac. The big short interest
in the future market was badly fright
ened and has been covering actively.
Mr.. Sully is reported to have been
heavy buyer, both here and in Liver
pool, preparatory to issuing very
bullish crop estimate, or cotton circu-
lar this evening. Estimates for re-
ceipts were not up to the lofty figures
predicted. This combination of bulllsh
circumstances caused a rise which
brought out a number of stop orders
and gave the market a decidedly bull
ish appearance. An extreme margin of
80 points over yesterday was establish
ed and the closing shows "a points of
this gain retained. For weeks past the
public has been selling futures on
every slight improvement, confident in
the belief that with fields white with
cotton, the movement would. before
many days, be overwhelming and
prices must sucumb. What they ex-
pect in the matter of receipts has
come true but probably three out of
every four bales coming into sight had
already been bought and paid for, so
that the amount available for these
exporters who have contracts for i'm
mediate shipment has been very small
indeed and their competition with one
another to get what is needed before
the end of the month has caused the
sudden activity, and decided advance
in spot prices. 1t may be Several days
yet before the demand from this quar-
ter will have exhausted itself, and If
this strength and activity should con-
tinue in the spot department it cannot
be expected that futures will decline.
We who have been bulls on rise of
over 81 per bale, feel that we can coun-
sci our friends to take profits on ad-
vance A natural reaction would not
be out of order, and, in fact, should
be welcomed as making the situation
more healthy for another substantial
advance later.
Liverpool is due to come points
higher in the morning.
Sully estimates the crop at 100000
bales, maximum.

Spot cotton was in active demand,
principally for filing September en-
gagements. Offerings were light.
Sales $500 bales, including $500 to ar
rive. Quotations 3-16c higher.
Futures opened firm and to 9 points
up. A big scare was on among shorts
which threw the ring into an up
roar of bullish enthusiasm such as
was seen at the beginning of last
seasons bull campaign. The country
was heavy buyer and the outside
public in general appeared to have
become convinced that the scenes of
last year might be enacted again and
that cotton was still capable of being
forced up much higher.
In the trading the October option
opened Z points higher at 10.54c. sold
up to 10.73c and finally eased off to
1860. September opened 9 points up
at 106Sc and one of the leading bull
operators bid for heavy blocks of this
option sending it up to 1092c, but later
it eased off to 10.SSc. The market
closed steady with net gains of Is to
20 points.

NO CHANGE IN SPIRITS OR ROsIN

The naval stores markets were un-
changed yesterday, turpentine and

the day before, with but few varla-
tions on rosin at post closing sales.
Two firms sold at sc off on H and

In speaking of the market yesterday
a prominent factor said there was a
bad undertone to the rosin market.
Exporters are not disposed to pay the
fancy prices for the clear grades" he
said, land with the offers to-day after
the closing generally below the clos

a general decline shortly. Spirits,
however, are firm, and look for
further advances.

and March at II Csc, or 25 to 81 points
net higher. Just before the close,
profit taking and selling by bearishly
disposed room traders caused a partial
reaction, and the market was finally
barely steady, at a net gain of 17G27
points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
The estimate for to-morrow's receipts
at leading points We're liberal. but
were fully offset by the large exports,
which reached about 1889 bales for the
day, bringing the total for the season
so far up to 340,5 SIS bales, against only
1880 bales for the same period a
year ago, making it appear that foreign
spinners are absorbing the early move
ment so rapidly that there is little like
lihood that there will be any actual
pressure of cotton on the markets for
some time a any rate. Another factor
in the advance was the steadiness of
the late cables from Liverpool and the
firmness of the Southern market.

Advise Patrons to Go Slow in Buy
ing and Selling.
New York. Sept 21.-For some days
now we have been endeavoring to keep
customers off the short side of the cot
ton market. 1t looked to us very much
as though the failure of prices to de-
cline in the face of large movement
meant ultimately advancing values.
The tendency was altogether too firm
to sell cotton and for this reason gam
bling chances were in favor of rise
rather than a decline This has been
borne out by the developments yester-
day and to-day. There was an extern
sive short interest around 10Y cents
and the market was too narrow to
enable the shorts to cover without
causing a rapid squirt After the de-
tail report of yesterday was read, peo-
pie began to buy cotton and then soon
to-day 40 points had been added to the
price. 1t was the same sort of a mar
ket that we had in the previous adj
vance and what was true then is true
to-day. 1t is not a market to buy very
much after an advance of 80 or 100
points. but on big decline the buyer
of cotton will make money. We would
go very slow on the buying side around
IL cents but would not hesitate to buy
again on 80 or 40 point break. Around
IL cents there will be a pile of cotton
for sale and the movement is going to
be too heavy to permit much of a rise
from so extensive rise. Go slow on
the selling side as well as the buying,
for the contract market is still con-
gested owing to the small stocks in

Daily Cotton Letter, to Hayward,
Wick a. Co.
New York, Sept. 21.-The advance
continued this morning in response to
firm Liverpool cables and further en-
ergetic bull support, with stop orders
caught, as prices worked upward.
There was nothing in the weather to
cause apprehension. A few scattering
rains were reported in the Southwest,
but temperatures we're higher than
had been looked for. Receipts, too,
continue full but an increasing move
ment is expected, and so far there APP
pears to be no weight of cotton on the
Southern markets. and with fair
short interest to work on, local bulls
had matters all their own way. About
20@2S points over the closing prices
of last night, outside longs began to
take profits, and the room contingent
felt cautiously for the top. checking
the advancing tendency. but the mar
ket showed continued nervousness,
with the undertone pretty steady and
longs the best sells. There are a good
many apparently good arguments why
cotton ought to go lower, but the truth
of the matter appears to be that peo-
pie are too uncertain over the crop to
sell aggressively, and until the likell-
hood of a bumper crop is more thor
oughly credited, we can expect but
nervous and unsettled markets.
