the casualties in the battle were one
sided, the Harris, father and sons, rang
ing against the three men who We're

The trouble occurred over a dispute
about the division of an estate OF
Nathan Flowers. He died, leaving ne
children, and since his death Johu
Hart, who married a niece. has been
living On the home place of the Flow

Dun AND COMPANIES REVIEW
Trade Returns to Normal Conditions
Best Trade in South for Seasons.

CIV the Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 1.-It. @. Dun and
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
The industrial n commercial stu
alton. as a whole at the beginning of
the last quarter of the year, is that of
q full return to normal conditions. The
Southern trade, it is reported, is better
than for several seasons past. The
chief flaw in the situation is to be
found in the high prices which serve
to check operations in some direction,
and are 9 conservative influence.
Business in steel rails is expanding.
in addition to the demand for domes-
tic consumption. the leading producer
has received a contract for II, 900 tons
for export to Mexico. The rapid ad-
vance in pig iron prices has caused
many buyers to restrict their pur-
chases.
Sharp advances were made in cotton
goods and yarns during the week.

COTTON STANDS
SHOCKS Of BEARS
Though They Have Ham
mered Vigorously
PATTEN REMAINS A BULL
Big Receipts and Fears of Bearish
Ginners' Report Monday DOE Not
Affect Confidence of the Bulls
English Spinners Are Nervous
About Question of Future Supply.

New York, Oct. IA certain ner-
vousness has characterized the cotton
market, but in spite of big receipts,
vigorous hammering and fears of a
bearlsh ginning report next Monday
prices have not given way much SO
far as net results are concerned.
L~iverpool's activity for one thing has
been a big factor. 1t has seemed to
show that Eoropean spinners are
nervous about the question of future
supply. h bulls stick to it that the
worlds consumption of American cot
ton this year is likely to exceed 49,
600. 900 bales. L~iverpool's spot sales
from day to day have been $4,000 to
$4,000 bales a day, though on Friday
there was a sudden falling off after
a long period of brisk buying. The
stock at New York is steadily d%ecreas-
ing. 1t is the smallest for years past.
Big spot interests have been steadily
buying.
James A. Patten remains a bull.
He sent q sharp denial Of a rumor ex-
tensively circulated last Wednesday,
that he had sold out.
The Brown-Hayne interests are
still supposed to be bullish. Some
New Orleans and Memphis operators
are understood to nave aiken profits,
but to be bulls still for a long pull.
Manchester has sent very cheerful re-
ports and in this INT things are
gradually improving. 1t is remarked
that hammering has produced only a
temporary Of act. AS soon as this
ceases the friends of the market as
sert that it advances naturally and
easily. Rumors ave been rife that
considerable of the local stock has
been sold to European spinners. Last
Monday 5000 bales were confirmed,
supposed to have been taken by LiV-
erpool people no where. A. J. Bus
on. the English authority, is bullish
on the situation. Certain large to-
bacco intc~asts are supposed to hold
similar opinions. On the other hand
there has been some determined OPP
position to a rise. A pool formed of
two or three large operators is said
to be working for lower prices on the
ground that with the present large
receipts and American spinners dc
ing aloof, it is useless to expect a
sustained advance at this time of the
year. Hedge selling by the South
continues and is bound to continue
for some time to come. Bears think
that it is a least significant the re-
ceipts at the ports should be so large.
They hin this fact means one of
the two things Of both, that is, that
present prices are so attractive for
the planter that he will continue to
sell, freely as long as they exist, or
else the crop has been underestimate
Popular sentiment, however, still
favOrs the bul side of the idea that
the crop is less than II, 600, 600 bales
and hat the consumption Will be the
largest ever known.
Various crop reports just issued by
newspapers and private statisticians
put the condition at 59.5 per cent to
62.9 percent. Liverpool cables that
present prices do not check the con-
sumption.

Last Nights Score.
Carlisle 80; Cornell ID.

Brunson was the big star in the con,
stellation on the basket ball floor at
the Y. NJ. c. A. last evening, and his
work alone was enough to double the
score of his five opponents. He broke
the league record for field goals previ.
ously held by Compton of Yale by one.
The former Earlhamite tossed fourteen
of 'em into the basket for two points
per. The game was too one-sided to
be of much interest. BY winning. Car
Isle tied with Cornell for the cellar
championship. At the rate the Indians
now are travelling they stand good
chance to break even on the season,
although getting away with a bad
start. II the team wins its remaining
two games 1t can finish with five won
and the same number lost. Only two
weeks more Of the season remain.
Cornell worked hard to win. Kauff-
man was not in at center and the team
had to call upon other substitutes. The
men strove valiantly, but Carlisle was
out with formidable five that was not
to be denied the fruits of victory.
Princeton and Chicago play tomorrow
evening. On the outcome Of this game
probably will depend the standing OF
each Of the teams at the finish. II
Princeton wins. the Tigers will be
back to the 500 mark and II the Mid
wayites win. a splendid chance will be
offered for first place Il Yale takes an
