New York. June 5.-Secretary Taft's
Decoration Day address at the tomb OF
Grant. which started wave Of discus
sion all over the country as to whether
the general was an incorporate drinker.
and as TO the truth Of the secretary's
assertion that Gen. Grant resigned from
the army because ne had to. has released
a personal letter, written to William
Conant Church. editor Of the Army and
Navy Journal ten years ago.
The letter is by an officer who was
fully conversant with Gen. Grants habits
and aware OF the exact reason why he
retired from the army The letter will
be printed tomorrow in the Army and
Navy Journal
Knew Him as Lieutenant.
The writer Of the letter met Grant first
in 1852 when the future COMMANDMENT
Chief was a first lieutenant and brevet
captain in the Fourth Infantry. ordered
from New York harbor 10 the Pacific
coast. He had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve the thin. quiet, reticent man"
Capt. Grants energy. and common sense
were mighty serviceable 10 the govern
ment in transferring the command across
the isthmus. Later. AT Vancouver. Mr..
Church's correspondent was acquainted
with Grants life.
'Of course" the letter says. 1T was
well known that Grant drank now and
then. but he was not. as has often been
charged. by any means drunkard. He
would. perhaps. go on two or three sprees
year. but was always open to reason.
and when spoken TO on the subject, would
own up and promise to stop drinking.
which he did.
when He Resigned Commission.
1T was in the year Of 1854 that Grant
resigned from the army The resigna-
ton was brought about in this way:
His commanding officer was the major
Of the regiment. Brevet Col. r. c. Buch-
anan a very good officer. but a martinez
and set in his ways. 1t seems that one
day. while his company was being paid
off. Gen Grant was at the pay table
slightly under the influence OF liquor
This coming TO the knowledge OF Col
Buchanan, he gave Grant the option Of
resigniug or having charges preferred
against him. Giant resigned at once"

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits

The market for fresh fruits is assuming
winter aspect, the variety Is becoming limited
decreasing as the Peaches and
Bartlett pears stln in evidence but Offer
ings consist largely of Ice house stock, for
which there is very little sale while what
fresh stock comes to hand is mostly OF poor
quality and hard TO dispose Of except at bar
gain rates. Grapes and apples are the leading
features of the market at the moment and will
continue TO be until navel oranges and other cit
goods become more plentiful. Prices for
fancy apples are steady and occasionally fancy
pack brings small premium. but common 10
choice stock is piled high at the stores and
moves of slowly. Receipts Of table grapes are
decreasing and the market for them is showing
more tone though the consumptive demand Is
nothing extra. Figs and ounces stin arriv
, ing from Son0ma county and bring good prices
when In good condition, but a portion Of the
current arrivals Of figs shows effects OF frost
and sells slowly. Strawberries and raspberries
/ continue to find buyers at satisfactory prices
and clean up well from day to day. In the
citrus line old crop Valencia oranges are hrm
and higher list supplies, while crop
navels more plentiful and cheaper. A

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Hutton's wire saws Z:
Cotton opened today about unchanged Trade
was fairly heavy. There was some buying on
rumo-s that the strike had been settled. but it
was denied by private cables. Movement con
tinues on fair scale and no signs that it will
let up for some time. We can't anything
more than a traders market for some time.
There was more less profit taking and
the bears plucked up enough courage TO hammer
the market Trade news is buoyant with big
orders placed since the election.
The growing impression seems to prevail that
the ginneFs' figures next Monday will show
something ike 5000, 000 s 100 600 bales ginned
up TO November l, which viii be a record up
to that time and that this viii be considered
bearish Present low prices however have al
ready discounted it, The consensus of opinion
is that cotton should be bought. Should a settle
ment of the Lancashire trouble occur on the
18th inst, Liverpool will at once go into compe-
tition with American mills TO supplies. -
