London Sock.

London. November 30.-The stock eX- change during the past week developed a more confident tone than for some time past. There was a gradually broadening business and particularly at the end or the week, due to the situation in America, which considerably eased the monetary situation here and induced freer opera tions on the part of the investors. Under this stimulus consols benefited over a point on the week, and other British se- curlties increased in sympathy. The fail ure of the foreign section of the market, which generally was firm, was the strength of Russia and Japanese bonds. These present low levels of American railways proved attractive to both Brit ish and continent investors, and caused advances during the week of to points, the high priced issues refectlng the most improvement.
 While it is recognized that the situation in the United States will return to Its normal condition slowly, pending the re- sumption of cash payments by the banks and the cessation of the demand for gold the disappearance of the currency prem imu and the satisfactory application of the treasury bond issue privilege, the be- lief that the corner has been turned, and although temporary set-backs in quota tions are expected, the traders today take a more hopeful view than they have had any time since the crisis commenced, and the market this afternoon closed quite &C., tive. The money market also shared in the optimism and rates were allowed to fall nearly 1 per cent below the bank rate.

Professor "5iIIyD Sumner.

From BArperS Weekly
 Prof. William Sumner. of Yale has been interviewed and has made his re- mark about the recent so-called panic and its cause. Professor Sumner Is now teaching sociology, not economies, which is greatly to be deploreu The Yale men of a few years ago used 10 say that "Bil- ly Sumner was the best teacher they had in college, and his books and his other writings have illuminated q good many minds. They are very clear, and Sumner made them interesting. So far as econ onios can be entrtaining, he made it so Probably in England if he lived there Billy Sumner would be an adjunct of parliament, and his figures and his reas- oning would generally be adopted by lawmakers and administrators. Here, however, we don't use experts, because perhaps, we are all experts-from the president down. Our politicians have had their lessons and have no luther use for experts. They had David A. Wells once in the Internal Revenue office, but he outraged the mill-owners with figures so they sent himH adrift, and he went home to Norwich, Connecticut where he made d fortune largely out of cotton mill stock. They say-that Is, the protec- tionists say-that that proves that David A. Wells was at heart a protectionist On the contrary, his conduct was like that of an illustrlous British ironmaSter. who had protected mills here and a free trade newspaper at home. When he was charged by fellow countryman with inconsistency his reply was: 'If the Americans are economic fools, why should I take advantage of them?" Sum ner was a classmate of William C. Whit ney, who was very found of the profess sor and who used to like to play with him in New Haven. Sumner never got as rich as Whitney; he never seemed to care to. He amused l-s mind in another way, and he once enormously amused Whitney by telling his old friend that the Yale corporation had greatly in- creased his salary.
 That's splendid" said Whitney. How much more do they give you Bill?"
 Two hundred and fifty dollars a year" said Sumner
 And he always wondered why Whitney laughed so loudly and so long.

New Orleans Cotton Market,

New Orleans. November s0.-Cotton spots were firm at an advance of A of a cent on low ordinary and an advance of 1-16 on all other wrades. Middling, 113sc Sales were 1150 bales on the spot and 1850 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet and steady at to , points below the close yesterday as a result of low Liverpool. After the opening there was a still further de- cline as result of bear pressure, but latter the market took an upward ten dency as a result of several bullish fea- lures and this characteristic marked it until the close The general financial improvement was one of these bulish factors and added to this was much bet ter demand for spots with few offerings in that market. Another sustaining in- fuence was the statistical position of the staple as shown notably by the world S visible supply figures and growing ex- pectation that there would be 0 bullish government report in December At ths close, which was steady. the active months ranged from 1S to IS points above the close yesterday.

Port Receipts Are Indicative of Small Crop, and This, Added To Anticipa- ton of a BuIIish Government
 Report, Causes Advance.

New York, November 3O.-fThe cotton market opened steady at decline of to 5 points, which was considered bet ter than due on the disappointing cables. and after the opening advanced on Wall street buying. which was encouraged by bullish week end figures, better weekly review of trade conditions and the con tinued influence of small crop estimates. Some of the local professionals and some of those who were recently working for higher prices seemed to be opposing the upward movement, but the offerings were quickly absorbed and during the middle of the morning the market showed a gain of to points, The market closed un- changed at net gain of l to Il points,

Coffee Market.

New York, November 30.-(Special. .)-The coffee market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points in sympathy with higher European markets and continued steadness in the Brazilian situation. Trading was moderate and the bullish ca- bles seemed to restrict offerings rather than promote fresh buying for long &C., count, notwithstanding the improvement in money market conditions and a feeling of greater confidence in commercial cir cies. There was demand enough, how ever to absorb offerings around the initial figures, and the market held steady dur ing the early session.
 Havre made a good showing with prices # franc higher, following the decline of the previous day, and Hamburg was 34 to l pfenng higher.
 No private cables were received to ex- plain this advance, which was conse- quently attributed to covering and the in- nuence of small interior receipts.

 The sharp decline in Missouri Pacific and Western Union this week caused a renewal of the old complaint in the street that the Goulds never protect their stocks. but that on the contrary they are more inclined to help them down the hill.
 The directors of the Borden Condensed Milk company have declared an extra dividend of 2 per cent on the common stock, payable December II. A similar 1lvidend was declared a year ago. The directors also declared the regular quar- terly dividend of 11a per cent on the pre- ferred stock of the company, payable on the same date. The books close for both dividends on December 5.
 Curb stocks withstood the shock of the labor trouble in Goldfield very we'll Laisy and Consolidated both advanced.
 American Tobacco was conspicuously strong, the stock opening at an advance of 20 points at 210. Later reacted to 2o5. Standard Oil also displayed decided strength, the price advancing from 400 to 40S on the purchase of 62 shares.
 Pacific Coast showed considerable strength and it develops that the insiders are buying all of the stock. The $2S,- 100000 of new stock to be sold by the Canadian Pacific is for the purpose Of extending that road into Seattle. As the racific Coast company owns the most valuable terminal property in Seattle, the entrance of Canadian Pacific will make it immensely valuable, The public mar kot for Pacific Coast is being depressed with small offerings, while at the same time bids are being made for the stock privately from 10 to 15 points above the prices recorded on the New York Stock Exchange
 London is feeling very cheerful over the improvement in American stocks. It is.expected that New York will get about S 000.9oO in gold Monday that will arrive from South Africa.
 Today'ss foreign stock markets also showed improvement although Paris closed heavy after early strength. Ber- lin was firm, aided by decline in dis counts. The fact that no more gold was taken for American account had a good effect. Americans in London shared in tho general rally.
 While the bank statement was favor able, or the first to show an increase in reserve since October 26 it was by no means as good as expected.
 The reduction in the bank deficit amounted to $1,114,175. The gain in cash was S1 9S0, 300 An increase in loans of Sic 0SO, 100 brings that item up to a new high record Deposits increased s3, 464, ,50O but this was largely owing to the ex- pansion in United States treasury de- posts of s3,256300.

Negroes as Singers.

From the New York Press.
 With their high cheekbones and splen- did throats, enormous chests and good stomachs, the American Indians ought to be good singers. Yet l have never seen one on the stage. The negroes are mel odious. We have the "Black Patti" but no impresarlo has yet had the courage to introduce a black male singer. We have had genuine negroes in minstrelsy, but l cannot recall any occasion when the real black man was presented in either comic or grand opera. One of the sights in Washington is a church where the choir is composed entirely of negroes. Visitors are taken there to hear the best singing in the capital" I should like to see Aleck Billups on the Metropolitan stage. or at Hammersteins, singing his big basso profundo; what would New York think of 1t? Just a common mig ger" and never objected to being called one. But, Lord, what a yoicei
