"In the course Of visiting many o.
OF our great coast resorts to inquire
into the question, among others. why
more American and continental Wis
itors are not attracted during the sew
eral winter. spring and autumn sea-
sons, 1t was found that IN several
towns surprising prejudice existed
with reference to American visitors.
One found Frenchmen and French
women, Germans. Austrians and Rus
SLAMS very welcome visitors, but there
was quite generally shown this feel
ing toward Americans, as unreason-
able as it was difficult to combat.
"One hotel-keeper said: ! do not
want these Yankees in my place.
They may be wealthy. but they are
excessively mean and want their
moneys worth every time. After the
Americans We have had don't think
they are any sort of advertisement.
i'm fact, / believe hotel which IL
notedly frequented by Americans los
es or is avoided BY the best class OF
English and other visitors.
American visitors of wealth, rep
lutedIy. that we have had have the
most barbarous manners. The men
throw their shaving papers on the
bedroom flors, spit Unfortunately
about the stairs and vestibules, drown
conversation in the drawing and re-
ception rooms with their shocking
nasal drawl. swagger about and dress
lin such fashion that one really
would be Ill paid by raising tariffs 100
per cent to them. Then, again, they
are dificult because other guests can
mot help commenting and laughing
outright
aAt another resort this was said:
We welcome French and Germans,
but not Americans: they are always
talking money, thinking money.

FISH VERY SCARCE
 ON MORRIS AVENUE
Storms on Coast Cut Down Receipts-PrOduce Is
 Active
Sales. High. Low. Clost

Severe storms on the coast is given as the reason for the present famine of fish on Morris avenue. Several fish dealers are completely out of fish and the quantity left on the avenue does not exceed 15 bar rels, 1t is stated. The price has advanced to l2c in barrel lots on snapper and 14c in small lots. Perch and snapper are about the only fish left on the market at the present time.
 The grain dealers reported advances in timothy hay and alfalfa hay as the SUD- ply is falling off and the demand is strong, Flour, oats and grain held firm and a fair trade was evident throughout the day. The local meat market held firm at It's present prices with brisk demand Butter merchants reported no changes In prices and good business. although they claim that the shortage of butter Will send the price upward next week when the revised list arrives. The pro- duce market is still in the midst of the brisk trade initiated at the beginning of the week. Prices show no changes Yesterdays wholesale quotations follow.

PRICES DECLINE IN
 HE COTTON MARKET Good Weather and Crop Condition Leads to
 Large Selling z

New York. October I-Prices have de- clined under the influence of more favor able weather big receipts. large ginning in Texas and condition of the crop very close to that of last year, which produced the largest yield on record. This has led to very large selling from all quarters. Frost has not done any particular dam- age. Spot interests at times have been heavy sellers. So has Wall street, as well as southern and western and Waldorf As- toria interests, in the belief that the crop will approximate 15ooo,o0 bales.
 There is widespread conviction that this seasons crop is going to be so large that despite the improvement in the trade at home and abroad there will be a pls-
 thora of supplies and a corresponding ds- cline in prices. The spot markets have
 not shown much life. Big trade interests | have been looking for lower prices and | have acted accordingly
 While some are claiming thatN Texas
 might raise 4250,000 bales to 4,5ooooo bales, bulls insist the crop there will not exceed | if it reached 400100o bales. Attention is. also called to the fact that spot interests have latterly been less bearish. The bulls
 maintain that the short interest has
 reached an unwieldy size and a crop scare
 such as may occur at any time might I easily produce bear stampede and . 1 sharp advance in prices.
 | Spinners abroad are engaged for many | months to come and show a disposition
 10 protect themselves by purchase Of not l only of the actual cotton, but of futures. l Business in the United States is also l bf-iSl< Tho paflls
 table trade. They are encouraged by tho general expansion of American business.
 The crop east of the Mississippi is late
 and the size of the yield depends very much. therefore, on the date of killing | frost.
 1 Exports this season are considerably be- | hind those of a year ago Spinners, how
 ever, in some cases show disposition to buy. as prices are only about 1 cent higher than a year ago.

From the New York Tribune.
 After a week of good behavior Baldv. tho leading highbrow ape in the New York Geological park, appeared at the head of the class of erudite monkeys m two performances at the park Baldy has recently developed fistic abilities that have caused him to be looked on as a monkey hope and for that reason his good clothes were taken away for several days after he got into a scrap with them on.
 But the tailor made suit was pressed be- fore 1t was put on the highbrow ape. and he displayed good deal of pride when he sauntered into the cage ahead of the seven other monkeys that are included in the monkey school
 The different stunts were carried out without any mishap, and Badly showed great deal of interest in the brass but tons on the suit So did Coco. the mis- cnievous ourang. and when Coco tried to do giant swing while holding Baldy's necktie Baldy landed on Coco with such fierce that the smaller monkey was sent down almost for the count.
 The newly pressed garments of Badly did not show up we'll after the scrap. but as he did not start the trouble he will be aile to retain his coat and trousers this N eek Baldy tried 10 read newspaper anu had his picture taken white doing so.
