There Are Scores
And SCOreS---

OF men in York county who for sew
eral years have been intending that at
some time in the future, they would
make application for a policy in the
Mutual Benefit. While I do not know
the names of all of them, do know
a good many. They offer various rea-
sons for not doing so Now, and the
reasons generally are probably salts
factory to them. They lose sight Of
the fact that life insurance Is a Now
matter, and that the fellow who puts
it off until tomorrow may either be
dead, or not able to secure the o. K.
of a Mutual Benefit examiner as 9TH
ers have. There will never be better
time than Now for you If you are in
good health. The price will never be
lower and no property you own will
give you more satisfaction than Mu-
tual Benefit policy. If you take it in
future years you may find the same
objection as DR.. NJ. w. White, the
tooth dentist" who says the only
objection he has to his policy Is that
it is not for twice as much. See me
without further delay.

New York, Oct. 4.-The government
reports were followed by activity and
excitement in the cotton market today,
but fluctuations were irregular and net
changes small; the market closing
steady / point lower to point high
er as compared with the last prices or
Saturday.
The census report was issued at the
opening and showed little less cotton
ginned to September 20 than the trade
had anticipated Prices started steady
at an advance Of to IL points in con-
sequence, and after some little irregu-
larity worked still higher on cover
ing by shorts and bull support in spite
of the disappointing cables and good
weather over Sunday. After advanc-
ing to 1880 for January and 1850 for
March, or within a couple OF points
of the seasons high records, however,
the market reacted under heavy real
izing following the publication OF the
governments condition figures. The
condition of 5S.5 per cent fully equaled
bullish expectations, but failed to
stimulate a broadening speculative de-
mand, and as soon as local bears found
that there was barely enough buying to
absorb realizing, they became aggres-
sive, evidently in the hope of catching
stoploss orders. There was good buy
ing on a scale down, but the market
closed within or points of the low
est. Very bullish crop estimates are
being based upon the condition figures,
which are the lowest with but one ex-
ception on record, and it is supposed
here that the figures will strengthen
expectations that the crop will not eX-
ceed 11,500,00 bales. Today's was the
last government condition report of
the season, the department Of agricul-
ture issuing an estimate of the yield
early in December. Based on the re-
ports of premature opening the local
trade have been talking a census re-
port of perhaps 100000 bales, but the
actual figures, 2,562,SSS bales had lit
tie or no influence on crop views.
Receipts at the ports today 5s.297
bales against 60,453 last week and 81, =
723 last year. For the week 35O,OOO
bales against 3S0,6S9 last week and
342,97S last year Today's receipts at
New Orleans 6,955 against 7,412 last
year, and at Houston 31,216 bales
against 140S9 last year.

Washington Navy Yard.

Admiral Caps devotes chapter to the
work under his bureau performed at the
Washington navy yard. He says that
the marine railway, SO far as the car
riage and hauling-out gear are concern
ed, is in good condition. The under
water position of the tracks, however,
he says. shows irregularity and settle
ment. causing difficulty and apprehension
in the docking of vessels. The acculnu-
lation Of mud on that portion of the
track, he says. is very great, and causes
much difficulty in handling the car
riage.
Wharf No. 1. at the east side of the
marine railroad slip, he says, is in poor
condition, and the part adjacent to the
slip should be paved as soon as pos
sihle.
No extensive Improvement in the con-
struction plant is recommended during
the coming year. 1.-THE two inadequate
wooden buildings" says Admiral Caps,
'now used respectively for the storage OF
the completed models of the model basin
and as covering for the engines, dyna-
mos and boilers Of the department are in
a poor condition, and, II not replaced by
permanent fireproof structures. will soon
require extensive repairs. besides being
a continual source Of danger from fire to
the other buildings in the vicinity. This
matter has been reported upon in pre-
viOus annual reports and suitable designs

navy YARD NEEDS
Admiral Capps' Recommended
tions in Annual Report.
WANTS MORE DRY DOCKS
Lengthening and Repairs to Others
Are Also Urged.

The necessity Of providing more suitable
docking facilities for the battleship fleet
is dwelt upon in the annual report of
Rear Admiral Capps. chief of the naval
bureau of construction and repair, made
public today.
The frightening OF dock No. 1 at the
Charleston, S. c.. navy yard and of dock
No. at the Norfolk. Va. navy yard Is
urged. The early completion Of the dry
docks at New York. Puget sound and
Pearl harbor Is recommended.
In addition, the chief constructor sug-
gests that an additional dry dock be built
at Norfolk and that dry dock No. 3 at
New York be rebuilt and enlarged.
Effect Of Reorganization.
Until the reorganization plan OF Secre-
tary Meyer was inaugurated the. bureau
of construction and repair had larger
share in the management of the navy
yards than at present. In commenting
on the new order of affairs Chief Con-
structor Caps says:
