COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, October 24-The cotton
frarket opened easy, at a decline of Ia
-. points and quickly sold OFF to net
loss of .2a31 points under active general
liquidation and aggressive bear pressure
iitspired by weak cables and private ad-
vices from Liverpool, indicating southern
selling, heavy liquidation and an absence
of bull support. While prices rallied +
or > points from the lowest during the
rafddle of the morning, the tone of the
market showed little Improvement, and
traders seemed apprehensive of increased
spot offering. although there was moth
ing in the news to indicate weakness in
tha interior
The rally during the middle of the
morning carried prices S 10 points
above the early low level. but there was
a renewal of heavy liquidation at the
advance and later the market broke into
new low ground. or TO a net loss of about
aa34 points. with January contracts sell
ing at 1894, comparing with 1901, the
high record of October IA. There vas
nothing fresh in the news TO explain this
renewed weakness. but many traders are
predicting a bearish census report tomor-
row, and increasing estimates of the crop
appear 10 be responsible for a material
rhange OF sentiment among recent bulls.

LOCAL FINANCIAL News

There was practically no demand for
securities at today's meeting Of the
stock exchange. The orders to buy or
to sell were not numerous.
Gas stock figured more largely in
the list of sales than any other Sc
curity. The stock sold for 7SA and
1Sk. but the buying was not suficient
to exhaust the supply at the latter
figure. AT the close, however. the bid
was within an eighth Of point Of the
asking price.
The disposition of members of the
stock exchange, which became mani
test soon after the recent meeting of
the stockholders. to wait and see what
is going to happen, does not appear
to have changed, and in consequence
there does not seem to be much in
clination either to buy or to sell the
stock.
Lanston took quite II leap upward
when the bid advanced from sc to S7R,
and one sale was made at IS. the
highest point reached in the recent
movement of this stock.

Value of Parish Histories.

From the London Chronicle
1t was recently suggested that if some
one in every parish in England would
write the history of his own parish half
the problem of education would be solved.
For the history of parish is the history
of country in little; historical, social,
economic, geographical conditions all i'm
pinge upon Ii. and to this is added the
intimate sense of locality. The nearest
battlefield is more interesting to a boy
than one a hundred miles away, and he
will learn more from his village church
than from a whole treatise on architec-
ture in general Orkney has tackled the
problem for itself. In THE Orkney
Book the young Orcadiap may learn
all that he needs TO know about his own
islands. both historical and legendary,
and the whole thing is presented In an
entertaining way. Ii II a pity that local
influence cannot do for England what
the Edinburgh University Orcadian AS
ISOLATION has done for it's own romantic
island.

NEW YORK, October 24.-There was a
renewal of heavy liquidation in the cot
ton market today and another sensational
break, which carried prices from 30 to 81,
points below the closing figures of last
week.
January contracts sold at 1884. or about
$3.50 per bale under the high record of
the season, and while slight rallies fol-
lowed as a result of covering. the market
continued very nervous and unsettled
owing to a tendency to increase esti-

JAPANESE POLICY CRITICISED.
Opposition Papers Object to Count
Katsura's Financial Plan.

TOXIC, October 24.-Today's opposition
papers attack the proposed budget as out
lined by Count Katsura, the premier and
minister of finance, at the dinner of the
associated clearing houses last evening.
The principal criticism is that the gov
ernments non-loan policy is contradic-
tory because it is annually borrowing
postal savings of S1J,U1U0 for the rail-
way fund. Consequently the redemp-
ton of $4,000 of bonds yearly. which
policy Count Katsura said would be con-
tinued, will result, it is declared, in re-
leasing S10.OU.000 only
The governments avowal of the success
of the last conversion of per cent bonds
Is seriously doubted.
