anxious to &c on the platform. Among

Origin Of the Red Cap Of Liberty.

The red cap of liberty had very
prosaic origin. instead of being the
"Phrygian bonnet it is just the galley
slaves headgear. The Swiss of the
Chateauroux regiment sent to the gal
leys for their share in the Nancy riots
were released and came into Paris
with the red caps still on their heads.
They are the victims Of despotism,
said the people, forgetting the circum.
stances of the riot. and SO the red cap
became the favorite with the extreme
party III 1ndor n,~ha

SPANISH TROOPS ROUT
FIVE HUNDRED PIGS
Thought Tribesmen Were At
lacking Them and Called
Out Artillery.

| LONDON. May IA dispatch from
Tetuan to the Daily Mail says a great
comedy lies behind the official report sent
out from there of an attack by Anjera
Moors upon Spanish troops and a bril-
liant victory gained by the latter.
The enemy were. in fact, a drove of
800 pigs, which were put tn fight by the
courageous action of artillery and infan-
try The Spanish consul himself has
| confessed that the Anjeras did not attack
the Spaniards. The facts were these:
A Moor had charge of 800 pigs be-
longing to Tetuan Spaniard. When the
Spanish troops arrived and intrenched
themselves, the Moor got frightened
and drove the pigs to another place. In
the night the pigs. not liking the new
place. returned to where the troops were
posted. The position being surrounded
by cork woods, the pigs made a great
noise.
Pigs Take to Flight.
The Spaniards thought the Anjeras had
come to attack them and the troops be-
| gan firing, while the artillery came into
action.
The pigs Immediately oolted. and the
Spanish commander, thinking he had
| gained a glorious victory. sem special
courier to inform the Spanish consul
that he had had a great success and had
killed six Anjeras. The Spanish consul
| Informed the other consuls and the peo-
pie of the Spanish victory.
The consul had TO deny the report he
had spread and to admit that the Sran-
ish commander, like a modern Ajax. had
spent his strength and courage in q
dreadful war with swine.

DECLINE SHOWN IN
 COTTON PRICES.
DulIness Prevails in the Market and Prices Fluc-
 tuate Irregularly

New York, November 6.-The cotton market was very quiet today and prices fiuctuated irregulary within a range of about points. The close was steady, net 3 points lower to-2 points higher gen. erally unchanged to points. September was the only month to show gain. Tomorrow being a holiday, yet New or leans and Liverpool will remain open.
 The census report is expected early Wednesday morning and business seemed to be largely in the way of evening up for the holiday season and practically no other feature developed.
 The opening was steady at a decline of to 4 points, owing to rather lower European cables than expected and con- tinued talk of bearish ginning figures.
 Scattered covering checked decline within point or two of the initial fig ures, and the market ruled generally steady, particularly in the matter of December contracts which sold couple of points above the closing figures of Saturday during the middle of the ses- sion.
 Reports that some cotton was beginning to head this way from the south for de- livery seemed reassuring to the Decem- Der short interest, however. and that month later eased back to the closing price of last week, while later months sold ? or points net lower
 The weather map showed considerable rain in the south over Sunday, but tenn peratures seemed to be about seasonable, and neither the map for the forecasts, nor the coastwise trade figured as fac tor during the session.
 The talk around the ring suggested that the trade is looking for a ginning report Wednesday indicating between 9,90o,00O and 10,0Oo,000 bales ginned to November 1, and bears would doubtless consider such figure if officially reported as af fording strong confirmation of available supplies in the interior. A fact, however, that this big supply does not appear to be any immediate pressure against any of the leading spot or futures markets appears at the same time to restrict bear ish operations. The unfavorable feature in the worlds trade situation is an idea that higher prices would merely make a better selling basis for southern holders. This seemed to disconcert buying for long account.
 Receipts today, 74,222, against S1,1S5 last week, and 54,72S last year.

BIG CORN SHOW
 GIVEN IN ATLANTA Representatives Corn and Canning Clubs Will Be
 Contestants

Atlanta, November 6.-(SpeciaL) )-Early in December Atlanta will have the big gest corn show ever given in the south. It will be called the southern corn show, and will assemble in Atlanta a remark ably large number of entrants. fea- ture of the show will be the number of representatives of boys corn clubs from every part of the state to enter into va rious contests here. It is estimated that over 1000 boys will be in the city. In
 Il liton there will be a large number of girls who belong to canning clubs, and the youthful contestants, are expected to create unusual interest in the exhibition.
 For some time the members of the com mittee having charge of this enterprise were puzzled as to just exactly what could be done to provide for the enter tainment of the youngsters while in tha city. This was decided, however, when - women of Atlanta, through organized effort, came to the aid of the men, and stated that they would see that homes
 ded for all who wished them. Boys will be herded off in threes and put. in Atlanta homes during the week of the show.
 Another feature will be the demonstra- tion work of the United States govern ment which has established practice farms in large number of counties in the state. There will be many exhibits from these experiment stations to show what can be done by the use of scientific methods. To drive in the value of science when deal ing with farmers, a large number of prom inent educators have been invited and many of them have already accepted. Among them are pr. A. M. Soule and the entire faculty of the Agricultural college of Athens, Ga. Celebrities will be here in the persons of Dr. Harvey Wiley and others. Dr. Wiley will make an address on the value of pure food and this is looked forward to with great interest. It Is quite possible that Gov. Judson liar mon of Ohio will be another guest. He has written that he will certainly be here if his engagements can be so arranged as to permit it.
 A number of corn show authorities have also wired that they will be on the scene when the opening day rolls around. and will do all in their power to make the corn show a success.

DECIDED DROP IN
 WHEAT QUOTATIONS
False Report of Federal h. dictment Chief Cause 0f
 Break in Prices

Chicago, November 6.--In a wild fur ry wheat today sold lower than at any time since the government began suit against the United States Steel corporation. The chief cause of the break in prices was false report that federal Indictment had been returne,' against the Armour Grain company as the result of an alleged corner in wheat. At the close the market was comparatively steady, but at net de- cline of 1c to 1 F @15sc. Corn showed q loss of as@ 1kc, oats finished un : changed to Is @ Ac off and hog products at an advance of 5Q10c.
 The descent from the high point oi the session in wheat to the bottom level was 2Ac for December. Notwlth- standing the federal grand jury here was not even in session the confidence of traders suffered such a shock that the recovery at the close did not rally the market more than 3sc from where the stampede had been brought to q halt. There was widespread ln- pression that before the break in prices the principal longs had surreptitiously been on the selling side.
 A big increase in the visible sup ply moreover had depressing effect which alone appeared sufficient to wipe out any bullish results of con tinued rain in the Argentine, even if world shipments had not been muc9 above what had been looked for Be- tween the opening and the close De cember fuctuated from 9242 W94 e4 with last sales F Q15s down at 921s c.
 Corn, after selling up on account oI wet weather, suffered a break W1tA wheat In addition there was fore . cast of returning sunshine and warmth, December ranged from 62 to 63 and closed weak ss@1 1zc net lower at 62@ 62Mc Cash grades were In more plen- tiful supply Number 2 yellow was quoted at 74A @7oc.
 A fair demand from commission houses proved enough to make oats relatively steady. High and low limits recorded for December were 46s4 @ 46ssc with the close at the last men tioned figures, net decline of Bc.
 Provisions had strong undertone due to good investment inspired by the stronger market for hogs. Offerings Of stocks came only from longs who Ge- sired to secure profits. In the end pork was up 10c, lard 5@7hc and ribs 5G0 15c

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 6.-Liverpool came rather lower than anticipated, causing a slight decline here, but the market slow ly relasped into the characteristics of a market before a holiday, Gas tomorrow being election day with us) it remained dull without material change all day There seems to be little disposition to take any decided position. The govern ment ginners' report is expected to show about 100000 bales on Wednesday, but even these large figures do not create a ripple of excitement Tn fact the market appears to be in a waiting mood; they have heard of 100000 bale crop; the ginning returns look as if 1t were true, but every one is working over the prob lem as to whether it is worth cents or not.
