Enter Coach Containing the Reg
ular Express Safe.
st. Paul, Sept. 1S.-General Man.
ager Elliott of the Great Northern
Express company announces that the
Great Northern Oriental limited train
No. was held up by two masked
men six or seven miles west of Rex
ford, Mont. The robbers crawled
over the tender at that place and at
the point Of their guns commanded
the engineer to stop the train. They
then ordered the fireman to go back
with them to the express car and in
structed him to tell the express mes
senger, mail clerk and baggageman to
go back into the coaches, which was
done.
In the meantime the robbers kept
up a continual fusillade with their
guns to terrify the passengers and
keep them within the coaches.
After the messenger, baggageman
and mail clerk had left their cars the
robbers went through the mail car
and robbed the sacks of large guam
tity Of registered mall Then they
went into an extra express car, which
carried an overflow of mail, baggage
and express and which contained a
regulation through safe. This they
attempted to blow open. After ex-
ploding three charges the safe was
opened and it was found to be empty.
The robbers did not enter the regular
express car in which the messenger
had been riding.
On finding the safe empty the high
waymen helped themselves to the
registered mail and after firing a part
ing volley disappeared.
The Great Northern has offered a
reward of $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction of each of the persons con-
cerned In the holdup.

By Private Wire to c. c. AbercrOmbie
 ,, Co, 4o1k comnnSTes St: today items as to the quantity of cotton ginned to October 18th. will be gathered findings will be made known October 25th, Up to September 25th of this year l,5e9,s77 had been ginned, against 205T,2S3 last year. These figures will serve as an Index as to probable expectations for the 26th Instant. In event of there having been as much cot ton ginned September 18th and October 18th as waS ginned last year 2,933.2S3 the amount ginned would approximate 4,5o3,26O bales and would compare with 4,9S1,62l to a corresponding date of one year ago. However. the crop is known to be short in sections of the Mississippi valley and in Texas, and is generally known to be late in maturing. Therefore, it is probable that about 100000 will about represent the amount Einned to October 18th. this year.
 As yet little attention has been given to the question as to how much cotton Will be reported gtnned Oct. 1Sth because Of the uneasiness concerning the unsettled state of affairs in the New York stock market and in financial circles generally.
 Wall Street showed improvement to- day lower levels having been established, especially for metals. copper in particular. Silver was lower, &d down in London, quot ed at 27 1l-16d.
 To make the situation all the more dis couraging, efforts to settle the local labor strike were in vain, steamship agents re- jecting the proposition of the screw men to store 1S0 bales. As a result, the local port is completely tied up. factors not being able to move their cotton. That the position or cotton is gradually working into a more bulIIsh statistical situation proven by the smallness of the weeks insight, S94.0O0 vs. 500, 900 last year. the total marketed since September 1st, figuring 1,913. .00O vs. 220S. 900 one year ago. By reason of the small shipments from inland towns there are no signs for receipts to increase rela- lively next week. and 1t may be that the coming week will witness another loss of about 100. GOO bales in arrivals when com pared with last year.
 The trade. however. is aware of the fact that the farmers are holding back their cot ton especially in Texas where nearly the whole shortage in the movement Is located, arrivals at Houston the past week amount ing to only 50, 900 vs. 14l.0O0 last year.
 owing to the trouble in financial circles if is thought that holders will be obliged to let Ro and for this reason bulls are not SO sanguine of their position in so far as the immediate course of values are concern ed even though the crop he a small one.
