THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-The cotton
market opened steady. at a decline of
s points to an advance of 4 points, near
months being influenced by Indifferent
cables and heavy realizing, with the
entire list selling up to a net advance
of 4@6 points during the early trading.
Profit-taking by old longs checked the
advance within a point or two of last
weeks high records, but the market
was active and firm during the middle
of the morning.
After making new high records, with
December contracts selling at 1878 and
May at 1895, or 8 to Q points higher,
the market reacted slightly under
heavy realizing, but offerings were very
well absorbed on a recession of 4 or s
points, and prices at midday were very
steady at a net gain or 507 points.
Bullish Southern spot advices and fear
of frost in the belt before Wednesday
were sustaining factors.

WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Sentiment-Sentiment in the
Waldorf district is by no means unani-
nous with rega rd to the near future.
The conditions of the banks is not con-
sidered strong enough yet to flush the
bulls with confidence, but the more i'm
portant bull interests seem to regard it
as sufficiently we'll protected to insure
prices against any sharp decline. The
foreign political situation is still dis
cussed, with some misgivings in con-
servative circles, but some international
bankers think that the conditions have
been exaggerated for speculative pur-
poses. The foreign money markets, 1T
is pointed out. have not yet hung out
signals suggestive of real gravity.
Money rates in both Europe and the
United States are regarded as entirely
normal. Barring unfortunate develop
ments not now indicated, there appears
to be a large degree of confidence In
much higher prices for securities when
the return flow of currency from the
West and South sets in.
The bank statement on Saturday
seems to prove that the money mar
ket fears are over, for the time being
at least. One can naturally expect,
therefore, q resumption of the u
tactics this week, more or less accen-
tuated by the closing up of stock con-
tracts. Brokers anticipate, however,
that the market rising from the level
reached on Saturday will meet with
stocks. The Hawley crowd is now very
active in the market, and it Is likely
that one will see a great deal of COM
motion In K. T., r. l., n possibly
C. and O.. Jacob Schiff returns from
Europe this week, and 1t Is possible
that the Gould properties, the financing
of which has been delayed until Mr..
Schiff's arrival, will be brought into
prominence. On weak spots brokers
would advise purchase of Atchison.
Steel is slated for higher prices on this
move. Gossip says Content has a pool
formed In A. r. to advance the price
above par. Large short interest in 1t,
Floor talk says Central Leather will
soon cross 60, and 1t Is tipped off to buy
on slight declines. B.. O.. is hanging
back. Traders are predicting ) points
advance in it soon. Clark, Dodge & Co
were large buyers of Paul on Satur-
day. Mr.. Giddes, of this firm, is 4
director of st. Paul. Watch the Wa
bash preferred. Brokers report every
thing is being done to put 1t on a 4
per cent. basis.

AN ANIMAL HOSPITAL.

TWO East Orange boys, Andrew
Doremus and Ralph Sprader,
have written to Uncle Jack that
they have established a hospital for
small animals and cite a case of a
poor little bird that had been injured,
and which they took care of, instead Of
permitting It to die in the roadway.
Too much praise cannot be given to
these kind-hearted boys for the work
they have started, and Uncle Jack
hopes that they will meet with much
success liz carrying out their plans.
How much nicer it is to treat our
dumb animal friends kindly and take
car of them, when they are suffering
than to be Indifferent to their fate or
to be cruel to them. Did you ever no.
tice how a faithful dog will look at
You with eyes filled with gratitude
when 0 speak kindly to him and
help him out of some trouble or diff
Guilty? Don't you think he knows and
appreciates your kindness?
Let us all, then, resolve to be kind
to the animals at all times, and do
everything In u power to relieve their
sufferings whenever possible.
