Say Feature of Market Was Pur-
chase by Brown of 5000 Bales.
New York, Oct. S.-The feature this
morning was the purchase of about
5000 bales of December cotton by
Brown of New Orleans. The buying
took a lot Of cotton off the market, but
later the demand let up and the mar
ket eased off. December ran off to
lie before there was buying enough
to hold prices. Weather in the South
was favorable for picking, Liverpool
advanced to points and receipts not
as heavy as they have been. The ear
ly buying may have been for long or
short account, but in any event the
cotton was taken. New Orleans weak
ened early this morning and the break
helped carry the local market lower.
There are several very large shorts
still in the market. Should anything
start the market up the shortage would
make trouble over 10A cents, just as
It did over 1914 cents before. AS long
as the movement is not overwhelming
we would continue to buy cotton on
every break.

NO REPETITION EXPECTED.
Summer Promises to Be Free from
Grasshoppers.

Grasshoppers.
In the opinion of many no fear need
be entertained as to a repetition next
summer of the plague of g%rasshop-
pers, which did so much damage in
different parts of the Yellowstone val
ley last season. 1t is believed that
eggs laid by TIE vanished hosts will
never be hatcheu. Among those who
believe this is H. S. Campbell, a
rancher on Flaherty Flat, near Column
bus. He says that last fall he mo-
ticed immense quantities of hopper
eggs, but as winter approached he
saw many had disappeared, while the
shells.
Closer investigation revealed the
fact that a small black bug, burrow-
ing in the ground, had eaten the eggs.
Other farmers made the same dis
covery and in no instance were any
of the eggs to be found that still re-
tanned the life giving germ. Large
tracts of ground that last fall were
known to be literally honeycombed
with healthy eggs of grasshoppers
were discovered to be absolutely free
Of them.
Reports of tne same cheerful dis
covery in other parts have been re
ceived and it is generally believed
that to the small bug described the
ranchers and stockmen will be indebt

plaques next eason

THE MussELsHELL RANGE.
Stock Wintering Well With Prospect
for kuture Favorable.

H. B. Drum is in the city, having
come in from his Musselshell ranch
Wednesday evening. In speaking Of
the condition of stock in his section,
Mr.. Drum says that it has wintered
we'll and animals of all kinds are in
good shape. The mild winter has
prevented losses and as the time for
extremely cold weather may be said
to have passed, the outlook for the
remainder of the season is decidedly
cheerful. Only a very little snow re-
mains there, just about enough to
supply the needed moisture, and in
consequence cattle have no difficulty
in finding feed, a fortunate matter,
as the grass is very short in most
places, consequent upon last summers
drought.
The wind that prevailed here last
Tuesday struck the Musselshell val
ley Monday night and continued all
night and we'll into the following day
No damage was done. however, and
aside from the inconvenience caused
but little attention was paid to it.
