COTTON MARKET MUCH MORE ACTIVE Close Barely Steady at 20 to
 29 Points SOME BUYING ON CALL
Demand Is Checked by Good Weather Reports From the South-Private Reports Show Improvement
 In Crop Conditions.

New York. July 10-The cotton market was much more active today and had sharp decline under liquidation and bear pressure. The close was barely steady at a decline of 20q29 points. Sales were es- timated at 5OO,0OO bales.
 The opening was barely steady at a de- cline of to 16 points in the face of rather better Liverpool cables than expected and larger English spot sales. There was some buying on the cali, but demand was checked by the good weather reported in the south and later the market became very weak under selling by some of the prominent traders and stop loss orders caught on scale down.
 Private crop reports from the south showed some improvement in conditions and expectations that with continued good weather the next condition report would show a decided improvement over lhe last report, was probably factor. At any rate the market continued weak dur ing the entire session, and closed at prae tically the lowest point of the day. It was reported that the bull leader had sent out rather bearish opinions based on an improvement on his crop advices and h. ability to find a prompt market for sup plies from the local stock. Scattering showers were reported over the belt and the forecast was for continued showers which it was believed would be beneficial Wire houses with southern connection were heavy sellers during the session, but otherwise trading was believed to 5e chiefly for local accounts. Receipts at the ports today, 2699 bales. against III last week and 3799 last year For the week, 15000 bales, against 13,42S last week and 27,736 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, SIS bales, against 593 last year, and at Houston, 172 bales, against 426 last year.

New Orleans, July 1O.-Spot cotton closed easy, 1sc lower on all grades; mid ding, i3. Sales were 800 bales on the spot with none to arrive. Futures opened steady from 7dS point below the closa yesterday, beneficial rains throughout tlie belt being responsible for the decline.

It takes all kinds of reckoning

It takes all kinds of reckoning to
make financial authority. Here is a
letter from out West, declares the
Hartford Courant, arguing that what
we need to maintain our prosperity is
crop failure, which in fact is the
enc thing that will avert such trouble.
The argument of the letter is that
good crop will draw a volume of cur
rency westward so large that the East
will curl up and fail, if it goes, while,
on the other hand, if the crops fail,
there will be no demand for money,
the farmers will get along because
they already have cash on hand, and
thus Wall Street will have the stuff to
finance it's all-important transactions.
How wise and yethow simple! Who'd
Or thought it,"

The workers in the Rand mines in
South Africa are doing their best to
relieve the demand for gold that dis
turbs the money market. The month
ly outturn has now reached a value of
100000. Production now ex-
ceeds the great auriferous record be-
fore the outbreak of the Boer war,
notes the Philadelphia Record. There
is slim prospect of an early ending of
the era of high prices whilst the pres
ent rate of output for gold continues.
Gold is the measure by which we buy
and sell. AS long as the deluge Of
new gold continues undated the met
al will be slowly cheapened by COM
parison with the things gold buys.

correspondent supplies additional de-
tails concerning what Sir William
Crookes hopes will prove to be the
commercial production of cheap fer

the work of two Continental investi-

not to his own, but they are all the
more disinterested and gracious on
that account. Sir William was APP
parently the pioneer in this field of
research. He is thus well qualified to

One Hundred Years Old.

New York.-Mrs. Rheua Miller, the
only real Daughter Of the Revolution,
was one hundred years old Friday,
and she made a day Of celebration
of it at her home in Mount Vernon.
Mrs. Miller's father, Col. Seth w.
Ebb, was a lieutenant in the coast
guard during the revolution.
Mrs. Miller played the double role
Of hostess and guest Of honor, for
from various parts of the state came
children, grandchildren, great grand
children and one great-great-grand-
child to do her honor She, was not
too feeble to receive the hundreds of
callers who passed in and out dur
ing the day.

Good times are always followed by
bad times, admonishes the Christian
Register. When good times arrive,
when the seasons are favorable and
the soil is fruitful, the political party
in power gets the credit for it, and
rejoices in it. When disaster comes,
the crops fail, and the locust becomes
a burden, then heparty in power suf-
fers in credit and renown. Just now,
those who rail at society as it is or
ganized, and demand a new distribu-
ton of goods and opportunities, are
up against the prosperous times which
make their outcries sound hollow and
insincere. But, when the break
comes, as it certainly will after this
wonderful run of luck, then we may
expect some strange revolutions in
politics and in theories of Industrial
and>social organization.
