THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, October 3O-The cotton

The relative firmness Of December
which sold at 1887. against 9.95, the low

the fact that local stocks are decreasing

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The general outlook in the financial
world Is regarded as showing indications
OF decided improvement. and that in spite
of what Is apparently the liquidation going
on In the New York market The local
situation now, as heretofore, is only af-
fected because of the conditions away
from here. and even that Is seen only in
iessenins of activities.
AS soon as a change takes place in the
wider market, then ii may be expected
the usual course of business in the finan-
cisl world of this city will be resumed
For the present It is only IN state Of
suspension, Rs 1t were. waiting for the dis
turbance beyond its borders to quiet down
The Meeting Of the stock exchange to-
DAY was as usual. not marked by any
thing OF special consequence. The volume
OF trading was maintained about the
same as has been customary for some
days past. The level Of prices In the case
or the securities that did change hands
showed no material alteration.
There was a good attendance Of brok-
ers. but the amount Of business is not
large, as there is no inclination to self at
hgures which are recognized as below the
real market value. The ability to main
tain the market Is looked upon as an in
dication of the intrinsic worth of the Sc
curities on the local list, and also throws
light upon the nature Of the present de-
preston in the wider market as being in
part due to an overSt StraininR of credits

NEW YORK, October 3O.-Although 1t
| 10 taken for granted that considerable
time will bo necessary to adjust the finan-
ctal situation conservative fnanciers say
that too great pessimism should not be
indulged in. On the contrary. they say
that the position Of the agricultural In
terests and Of business interests through
out the country should be magniffed to a
greater extent than they have been of
late and that attention sheuld be centered
less upon Wall street conditions than
nearly every one has been inclined to do
1t IL expected that the necessary liqui
dation loans will keep the stock market
down for some weeks at least. Most con-
servattve observers. however say that
they cannot understand why the dividend
paying securities should SO very much
lower. except temporarily as the result of
urgent liquidation.

1t Is believed that the statement of che
United States Steel Corporation for the
September quarter. and particularly the
supplementary statement of former Judge
Gary. will have an excellent effect. both
In this country and abroad particularly
with investors. 1t is pointed out this
morning that no one could ask for a
corporation to be better managed or to be
in a stronger position in every respect
than is true of the United States Steel
Corporation.
1t Is known that prominent inside
interests believe that within Ave years
the common stock will be selling above
the present price for the preferred and
that the dividend disbursement on the
basis of 500 a share will be as large
as that now being paid on the pre-
ferred. They point out that when the
Gary plant is completed the earning
power will be very greatly increased.
and they call special attention to the
fact that this great plant Is being paid
for out OF earnings
A man who Is In close touch with
the most powerful interests IN the
Amalgamated Copper Company said
this morning that the recent sales of
copper metal at the higher prices rep
resent speculation only In a small way.
and that practically all Of the copper
taken recently was to supply the urg
ent demand of consumers, who for
some time had bought In q hand-to-
mouth way. hoping that prices would
drop still lower. He thinks that steady
improvement in the copper trade has
set in and that conditions from this
time On will be healthy. unless prices
are unduly advanced

FARMERS UNION BUREAU.
Dawn Of Day for Farmers.

The morning of brighter day for
farmers is at hand. The cocks crow
of the farmers Union is now ring
ing throughout the Southland. We
estimate that there are now in the
field about three hundred Farmers
Union organizers and lecturers
spreading their wings, sailing through
the South, singing the swan song Of
profitable prices to the farmer for
his money Ncrop--cotton--which is
sure to bring prosperity to every
other necessary occupation in the
! South. Farmers, heed the trumpet
sound when you are called to meet
at these farmers' rally meetings.
Go to the railroads and meet your
speakers and carry them out TO your
homes and take care of these mie-
sionaries, which will save these eer-
wants from 81 TO $3 per day for
board and won't cost you much.
Farmers, you are = weak, unim-
portant, good-for-nothing sort of
people, unorganized; but the most
powerful craftsmen on earth when
you are organized.
Give me thirty good, sturdy farm
ers that will stand firm. shoulder to
shoulder, and we can carry great
log that five men could not shake.
Give US one million good farmers,
carrying upon an average two bales
of cotton each, and We are indepen-
dent of all the cotton bears and bulls
on earth. f w "a & sN y
Farmers, get together now and
line up for good. If you all keep on
saying the farmers won't stick, then
the farmers will not stick, but if you
all will stick when there is some
thing to stick to, then the farmers
will rally for the good of all and
come together with the determine.
tion to make it to the interest Of
every farmer in the Organization to
come together and then something
will be done. All our live Farmers
Unions are doing something and
saving dollars, as we'll as doing good
in other lines.

On Tuesday morning the natives
began their attack by stoning a
European, and when this man tried
to flee he was surrounded and
hacked to pieces. This as the sig
nal for another attack, and as soon
as the danger became known the
French and Spanish residents rushed
to their respective consulates for
protection. During their fight at
least eight were murdered. While
the Jews and Europeans were TAX

the Mussulmans began to attack the

works. They fired on the shore

bodies subsequently, were burned.
One workman who tried to swim to

Scotland were by the majority of
American Presbyterians, laid aside
at an early period, and are now OBJ
solete. The type of Scotch Presby-
terianism has been largely retained
by the Associate Reformed Synod of
the South, and this has always placed
the denomination in striking contrast
with all other Christian denomina-
tions in the South.
@The Associate Reformed people in
connection with the Synod of the
South have ever clung with an ardent
devotion to the Bible and the West
minister confession of faith. With
them the Bible is first, and the Con-
fession is second. They are slow to
give up old principles and practice
and always regard with a degree OF
suspicion those who either ignore or
remove the ancient landmarks of re-
ligion."
These peculiar people are losing
their popularity, however, and are
becoming more like other folk. It
was charged formerly that the poetry
of the Psalms as sung by them was
very wretched poetry, or no poetry
at all, because it lacked the jingle
which pleases the popular ear if it
does not instruct the serious heart,
but the old Psalms that were sung
when DIR. Latham wrote his book are
not sung now. There is almost as
much of "hnman composure" in the
new Book of Praise as there was
when Isaac Watts tried to reduce the
Songs of David to the metrical pos
sibilities of English verse. The A.
r. P.'s have preserved some of the
ancient marks, but they are gradual
ly drawing away from Scotland.
They abandoned long since the policy
of close communion. They do not
any longer sickle at the use OF in.
strumental music in their meeting
houses, and they have played some
renditions of Rouse. The cruel thing
about the discussion last Sunday,
which has been made the occasion of
these observations, is that any Pres
byterian, whether he is given to the
use of Psalms or hymns, should not
have known who and what the A. r
people are.--News and Courier.

Dead Snake in Beer Kills Four.

Ashland, KY, August IA cop
perhead snake, which had crawled
into beer keg and died, caused the
death of "Red" Popham, Samuel
biggs, Will Simpson and Carey
Turner, in an outing camp at Welch,
fifteen miles distant in the noun
tains, and probably will end the lives
of Samuel Willis and Walter John
son. This is the story of Ralph
Dunbar, who came here from the
camp tonight and returned with a
doctor, an undertaken and four
coffins. He said:
"With seven other men I went to
Welch yesterday afternoon, intend
ing to remain one week. We took
several kegs of beer. The journey
over the mountains is rough and I
presume the beer accumulated an
extra amount of gas. One keg was
partly submerged in a spring and IL Q
bung flew out. All who drank the
beer became i'll and four quickly
expired. An investigation revealed
a big copperhead snake in the keg.
