CLARK s co.'s COTTON LETTER,

NEW YORK, October 14.-Liver-
pool appears willing enough to adj
vance and their session was charac-
terized by renewed buying for ac-
count of Manchester spinners, who
at last, have decided to lay in their
supplies against the time when cot
ton will not be had for the asking.
Frost in the Indian Territory and
North Texas gave the bears chill
and January quickly sold at II cents
at which point the buying power was
exhausted and the market once more
gave way under pressure from the
bear clique. Receipts continue on
moderate scale, and reports from
interior points say there is no accu-
mutation of stocks at the smaller
points. A killing frost just now
would set forever at rest hopes OF
supply equal to the worlds de-
mand. There was never time when
the frost date meant SO much to
planters and spinners alike and or
this question the immediate future
of the market will rest. Certain il
is II cents is the battle ground, and
both sides have, at this point fortified
themselves with long range artillery
Cotton is cotton just now and the
short side is to be touched with 6
very cautious hand.

COTTON VALUES
ON THE JUMP
Americas Spots Follow Lead
of Contracts.

Cotton contracts leaped upward at
the opening of yesterdays market, due
to frost in the northwestern section
of the belt During the early part of
the session values lowered around the
opening figure, then weakened on
rather heavy liquidation. After a
loss of 5 to 10 points from the open
ing prices, covering by shorts who
were nervous about further frost de-
velopments more than retrieved the
loss of the morning and the close was
steady with net gains for the day of
10 to 81 points at New York and II to
80 points at New Orleans.
Sales in the English market were
10000 bales at prices unchanged from
the close for Saturday Futures ad-
vanced to 10 American points. The
estimate for New Orleans today is
$500 to 1880 bales and for Calves
ton 1000 to 10000. The receipts
for Savannah yesterday were nearly
equal to those of New Orleans and
Galveston ombined, being over
10000 bales.
In the Americas spot market prices
were advanced Is of a cent, with
good middling at II Is cents. The
receipts were light, as is usual on
Monday The demand was good at
prices named, all offerings at the
price finding ready sale.

AN OBJECT LESSON
Showing CLEARLY Who PAYS The
TARIFF TAX.
How an American Watch Can be pur.
chased In Europe Fifty Per Cent
Cheaper Than in the United States.
And the Watch Trust Is Not Alone
In Taxing the Public.

W.J. Bryan is in receipt OF u practical
demonstration OF the iniquties OF III
present protective tariff law in the shape
OF handsome hunting case gold watch.
Elgln movement. The watch was pre-.
sented to him by Mr.. Charles A. Keene,
president Of the Independent Watch
Dealers Association. On the front Of
the case is engraved words to the effect
that the watch was presented to Mr..
Bryan by Mr.. Keene, and on the back 10
engraved the following:
"As a demonstration OF the methods
OF the American watch trust. this watch
Was bought in England for $7.9s. The
same grade cost The dealer in this couu.
try $lO.58. difference Of nearly fifty per
cent"
Attached to the watch is a card bear.
ing an explanation of the way in which
American = buyers are "held up''
by the watch trust through the power
conferred upon it by the Dingley tariff
law:
"This watch was purchased in Eng
land by Charles A. Keene, dealer in
watches 1t lSO Broadway, New York.
l is an Elgin movement with twenty.
year gold filled case. 1t was sold by the
American watch trust in England for
$79S-in America the dealer must pay
$1O5S. Here is the number OF the case.
T4S5 1867. and movement, 12,2I2,2l5.
This statement can be verified by the
books Of the MAKERS"
In brief, the Elgin Watch com pany
made this watch, shipped it to England
and sold it for ~. 90 after pay ing carriage
and insurance. But the American dealer
must pay $lO.58 for the same watch be-
cause the Elgin Watch company is pro.
tected to such an extent that it can levy
q toll OF $500 on each watch sold to an
american watch b. This protection
is granted OH the plea OF protecting
American labor" and fostering infant
industries" The Eigin Watch company
is one of those "infants" that long since
doffed its swadding clothes and now
wields a club secured through special
legislation which enables it to force
American buyers to pay it tribute and at
the same time compel its employees to &C.
cept any wage terms the company offers.
No one believes that the mechanics who
make these watches get any part of the
$3.50 exacted as tribute from the Ameri-
can buyers-that is no one who does not
yearn to be deceived and who really
likes to be forced to pay tribute to arro-
CANT trusts which are allowed to exact
tribute through special legis!ation.-

ance. A fear being expressed that the
legality OF ordinances, resolutions and
bills passed at the meeting might be
questioned, caused all important matters
to be laid over until the next regular
meeting.
c.. P. L. ROBBERS petitioned for an arc
light at First and G street streets. The
petition was referred, although there has
been light at that point for many years.
On recommendation of the street COM
mlttee, the street commissioner was di.
rected to build two bridges on Market
street west of Division.
The improvement of Market street
west OF Broadway was discussed. The
necessity of this improvement, and its
urgency was admitted by all, but the
manner is the difficulty. The owners
want no more planking, but desire be-.
ginning to be made for a permanent
street. The matter Of temporary repairs
was lett to the street committee, with
power to act.
Water Superintendent Jensen was au.
thor'zed to engage man to finish the
work OF checking up water consumers.
The special committee appointed to
investigate the cost of the fire depart
ment reported that. so far as their in.
vestlgation went, the department was
being economically administered. con.
sidering that large lot of apparatus
had been purchased, and recommended
that hereafter the city team do the re-.

instead OF hiring teams as in the past.

agement of banks when each bank
feels an interest in the solvency of
the other banks which are joined to
1t under the plan.
1t is sometimes declared that the
government has no more right to
guarantee bank than it has to
guarantee the price of corn or cot
ton, but the fact is we have always
recognized the distinction between
money and other forms of property.
We have usury laws regulating the
rate of interest, but no law regulat-
ing rent; we have laws for the in
spection of banks, but no law for the
inspection of stores; we have laws
limiting the amount of money that
can be loaned by bank to one bor-
rover, but no law limiting the
amount merchant can buy or SELL
Money is the life-blood of commerce
and the present stringency shows
how easy an unreasonable fear on
the part of depositors may paralyze
business.
