Circuit Court in relation to this mat

The importers took the case to court
and the government lost, because of a
mistake which had been made In trans
ferring the evidence taken before the
board OF appraisers and submitted 10 the
court Then another case was prepared
and a great mass of testimony was taken
by the board This, too. was decided adj
versely 10 the government. and then il
was discovered the evidence submitted
ito the court had lacked the testimony
Of nearly forty of the governments wit
nesses.
This evidence had been dropped bodily
from the papers sent 20 the court. and as
the entire lack OF government witnesses
would have aroused suspicion. there was
inserted testimony OF a witness who APP
peared to have been called by the gov
eminent, but who was in reality a wit
ness for the importers examined at the
hearing by a lawyer for the importers.

The accommodation had been expect

from the time her second admonitior

A man who occupies prominent place

was formerly a student OF Mrs. Stetson
made some startling statements. H'
said:
There is no possibility that Mrs. Stet-

has nothing to offer TO schismatios; she
cannot say 7 offer you Christian Sci

ton in dropping her from the church
that she does not teach Christian Science
She can only say. offer you the teach
ings or Augusta Z. Stetson, and to my
mind that could not be sufficient induce
mont to lead even her most loyal pupilt
away from the church"

COTTON MARKET
 HAS BANNER DAY Biggest Business Since SulIy
 Excitement SOME NEW HIGH RECORDS Sensational Gain in Liverpool and Very BuIlish Reports from the Southern Spot centers-close
 Shows Net Gain.
SOME NEW HIGH RECORDS

New York. October 28.-The cotton mar ket was again very active and excited, business being on the largest scale so far t1is season and probably exceeding any thing that has been witnessed on the New York cotton exchange except during the intense excitement of the Sully year. Prices made still higher records during the morning and later an enormous amount of realizing was absorbed above the close of last night, with the final tone steady. net points lower on October, but generally to IA points higher
 The market opened firm at an advance of to 27 points, in response to the sensa- tional gain in Liverpool and very bulish reports from southern spot centers. There was some irregularity but outside buying was on a tremendous scale, and the ac- tive months worked higher after the open ing, with December finally touching 4.67c, while May sold at .s2c or 25 to 27 points above Wednesdays close. At this level it looked as though some of the biggest longs had determined to relieve the situ- ation to some extent, as large blocks of long cotton were thrown on the market, and finally made some impression on priees particularly as local professionals took the short side for turn in the late trading on the ground that the advance had been too rapid. December sold off to 4.43c and May to 14.60c, a decline of about p to 24 points from the high level of the day, and these positions closed at about the lowest. July contracts in New Orleans reached the 15c mark, which was predicted for this week.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early were quiet to asc higher and a number of wires were received during the day indicating demand from spot shorts although Memphis reports that mills have been less urgent buyers on the advance. A small failure was reported in the Liv- erpool market, but the rumors of difficult ties among southern spot shippers have not been confirmed.
 Receipts at ports today. 59 4S6 bales, against 54,000 last week and 65,2S9 last year. For the week. 425,000 bales, against AS, ,626 last week and 449.979 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 9S53, against 15,S39 last year.

ders being booked for the new quarter, which have the benefit of the high prices now prevailing.
 Production meantime continues to make new records in various branches The striking feature in the immediate situa- tion in trade is the freedom with which the railroad companies are placing orders for new equipment, This made the com panies connected with these departments of trade conspicuous in the days trading, along with United States Steel. There was an awakened interest in stocks con nected with the copper industry, ana there were reports of growing demand for the metal from the smelters and rise Tn the price of the metal in London.
 The excitement in the cotton market served to divert some speculative activ- ity in that market. The indirect effect on the stock market was not helpful. The effect which the high price of cotton Is having of prompting curtailment or output by cotton spinners, both here ana in England, is not liked.
 The sharp decline in the price Of New York, New Haven and Hartford following the decision to issue new stock to stock holders at 125 had a bad effect It was suggestive of a movement to sell old stock to secure resources for subscribing to the new rather than to find resources else where and hold the old With other stock issues in prospect the inference from tnls movement was unfavorable.
 The bond market was pronouncedly dull and price movements were somewhat err ratio where efforts were made to market inactive issues. The tone was irregular; total sales par value, s2, ,299, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

STOCK MARKET
 SHOWS DULLNESS Depressed Tone Is Growing
 More Noticeable TRADE IS DIMINISHED
United States Steel Claims the Usual Amount of Speculative Interest in Wall Street-New Steel
 Productoin Records.

al New York, October 2S.-Growlng dullness in the speculation in stocks was more notable today than the tone of the mar lSet which was shifting and uncertain. Conditions were propitious to values and this induced some coveringS of outstand- ing short contracts left open since the recent period of pressure on the market. There was little beyond that and the days business, both in stocks and bonds was on a diminished scale. There was the usual preponderance of dealings in United States Steel and there was conspicuous diversion of such activity as there was toward low-priced stocks.
 This was partly due to causes individual to the stocks afterward and partly to an argument by the professional element that the smaller money requirements in specu- lation in the low-priced stocks would serve to recommend them during a period of strengthened money markets Some of the selling of the high-priced railroad stocks seemed to be during this argu- ment. A growing spirit of caution was , manifest in the speculation. Bankers were inclined to express more confidence than danger of money stringency before the end of the year had been averted.
 The opinion was heard nevertheless in stock market circles that any attempt to lrevive an active speculation at the present S-yould be frowned upon by the larger financial power, and the largest holders of loanable capital. The supply of funds in the money market was more liberal, and in the rate were shaded both for call and time loans. Call loans were made pretty steadily at per cent, and it was expected further recession would follow the November 1 payments which are un- usuallyNlarge.
 It was regarded as favorable factor that no further advance was made to the Bank of Englands discount rate, although that institution showed further falling off in position in It's weekly report, in spite of last weeks higher rates. The Bank of France also disclosed heavy inroad on credit facilities and a slight shrink age in the gold holdings bringing them, however, but slightly below the highest total in the history of the bank. The con- cIusion of the London stock market set clement without failure was helpful to the international markets.
 Steel trade advices supplementary to the quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation were regarded as emphasiz- ing the favorable features of that report, especially in the matter of the large or
