Mt. Creek, Ala, rep. 10, l5od, Geo. ". Jones, Esq. A. D. A., l. and N & hR. R. Go. Montgomery. Ala.
 Dear Sir--Your letter duly received but owing to my illness have beer unable to write you sooner.
 The ordinance contract under whicf the passenger and freight depots of the T. and N Railroad Company were built In Montgomery, constitutes the entire Agreement that was made between the City Council of Montgomery and the L and N. Railroad Company. There and ". Railroad Company should move It's freigat depot at the north end oi Ice Street. under any circumstance
 The L. and N. Railroad Company had no petition before the City Council in reference to either of these depots. The City Council of Montgomery was the moving spirit of the whole matter. for the ~purpose of securing the erection fn the city of such passenger depot as would refiect credit upon the city and it's Inhabitants. I never at any time doubted but what the City coun- ell of Montgomery had ample power 10 make the contract, nor have now any such doubt
 Lee Street had never been opened ax f4r as Water Street. until these de- pots were built. but had terminated in q cul de sac some distance from Wa ter Street.
 was at the meeting of the City Council of Montgomery when the ordi- nance contract was adopted. and there was no other agreement made. and I do not hesitate to say that l never heard 1t eontended by anyone that the L. and N. Railroad Company had agreed at aAv time or under any circumstances to fSnnove It's freight depot from its present position until the bill now pending before the Legislature was in- troduced.
 From legal standpoint. the freight depot and what Is now called the Union Passenger Depot. are on the same foot inG, as the passenger depot was built largely On Water Street. which. for mehy years. was only street in name -es know personally 1t cost the L. and N. Railroad Company many thous- and dollars to i'll in the great gulIies and washouts, both in Lee and Water Streets. Yours truly,
 J. M Falkner.

The cotton market is influenced not only by conditions locally but by universal fi- nancial and political develocments. It is said that there has been about $26,000s0OO in gold engaged for New York. but this will not help to improve the situation in the South to any great extent Meanwhile all Europe is being drained of its surplus funds so eager is the demand for American ac- count, and It is probable that the Bank of England will have to stand the brunt or these heavy withdrawals. and In addition will have to provide for the movement of the East Indian and Egyptian cotton crops. On last Thursday its reserve in proportion to liabilities was reduced to the danger of 39 91 per cent. vs. 47. 21 per cent. the week previous In the meantime. there" have been further heavy shipments and 1t looks as though complications are apt to develop abroad. Aside of this feature press cables of today tell of the adoption of & resolution by the executive committee of the Amalga- mated society of railway servants calling for a general strike of employees numbering about 100000 men throughout the United Kingdom.
 Considering the probability of such a dis- turbance in the labor ranks in the British Isles Liverpoors good showing today, re- spending fully to New York's artificial ad- vance of yesterday. was quite surprise to say the least A tie-up of the British rail- roads would naturally hinder the movement of fuel and rev material to industrial cen ters and curtail consumption until the trou- ble be settled.
 Next Tuesday will be election day in many of the Northern States, New York will be closed. Tn Friday following will be the day on which the report quantity of cotton ginned to November 1st. will be pub lished. During the period October 18th to November 1st last year 1,975,000 were gin- ned Same period year before last 1.467,- 900. Mr. Buston is on record as estimat- ing the growing crop at 100000 maxi mum. It is probable, therefore. that about G. O0O 900 will be accounted for. against G. soc, 900 last year and 6,45s,o00 year before

THE STOCK MARKET


 New York Nov. 2.--The abstract of the statement of averages made by the banks to the clearing house was recorded on the tape today after all transactions at the stock exchange had been completed. Prices had been depressed early in the day to a slight extent but had rallied with a show of considerable strength in the latter part of the session. It Is not unusual for early estimates on Saturday regarding the chief but no such estimates were circulated in the usual channels today.
 Operations at the stock exchange were concluded in ignorance Of the conditions disclosed by the bank statement, The most vital fact regarding the bank state ment is the reserve which is not made to show by anticipation any part of the famous export gold now afloat for New York and destined to arrive and flow Into bank reserves before the next week had expired. Meantime fresh credits have been accorded with unstinted hand. as 1t is proper method of meeting crisis approved by tried wisdom. The loan expansion. how ever. must be interested in the light of the issuance of clearing house certificates. which is in force. and which is included in this item The stress in which the loan com panies have labored has caused the usual result in an unusual degree of transfer of loans from trust companies to banks
 The bank statement does not include the separate statement of government de- posits for which the banks are exempt from the cash reserve rquirement according to ruling of the treasury department but not by the rule of the clearing house.
 Bonds were weak Total sales par value s1,3se.0 .00o. U. S. bonds 25ks advanced 2&, bid prices on call during the week.

 The wheat market opened firm today. responding to unexpected strength at Liv-- erpooE Later the New York bank state ment was received. and 1t being considered the worst on record from that city, caused immediate and heavy selling of wheat. until ii the s close T The T rumor s of shutting down of mills also caused some selling The fact that some export business was report ed from the East did not prove an offset to the financial situation. The close was weak.
 December wheat opened N0 ke higher at 96k to 9ehc, sold between 94M@k and ss %c and closed at s4hc.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 2ss.ooo bushels Primary receipts were 751,e bushels, against e2e, 00e bushels on the same day last year.

 The corn market was strong at the open ing in sympathy with wheat and the re- ports of the poor huskinx returns. Consid- advance and then the break in wheat and the New York bank statement caused a sharp decline. Cash houses were fairly free sellers and the market in general received poor support.
 December corn opened K@%@K@% higher at 59& to soc sold between bsM ana soc and closed at 5ec. Local receipts were 124 cars with 80 of contract grade.
 The oats market opened steady in sympa- thy with that of corn but later the at tempt of prominent long to unload. to- gether with the decline In wheat and corn broke the market sharply. Trade was in small volume and the range of prices was narrow.
