STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR.
BY J. w. Wrinkle.
CHAPTER III.

In our last chapter we had gone
into camp, without tents, blankets
or commissaries. We had spent the
evening from about o'clock TIL
nightfall in strenuous effort u
keep ahead Of the "Johnnies." The
evidences that met our eyes at Fox
town indicated that the "Johnnies'
were ahead Of us, waiting To re-
ceive us with open arms.
Indeed, mounted man coming
from the direction Of Clays Ferry
said I'VE had Just as well turn back,
for the Confederates were ahead OF
u.s."
To those who failed To read pre-
ceding chapters, we will state that
we are writing an account of the
Battle of Richmond, August 81, 1867.
One record says August 1890. 1862.
Behold us, then, a "forlorn hope
very tired. very hungry, in strange
neighborhood. wholly occupied by
southern sympathizers, as nearly all
the people Of the Blue Grass were
during the Civil War.
Just below our encampment lay
the old fort at Boonesboro, but we
surmize that the writer spent a
more anxious night, with forebodings
Of what might await us on the NOR
row than Boone and his fellow
pioneers felt when besieged by In
dams.
Day came at last clear and bright
and blue coats were in evidence be-
yond the ferry which was kept busy
all night, manned by some colored
men.
Il is not stated whether the ferry
men collected tolls, however this his
torian having spent his last cent for
entertainment at the Francis House
in Richmond had none to pay. In
stead he gave the ferryman some

NEW YORK CoTToN.

New York, Oct. 25.-There was
further sharp advance the cotton
market here today on the census re-
port showing a smaller amount
ginned to October Is than expected
and continuation of yesterdays
buying movement. May contracts
touched the predicted 20 cent level,
selling at 20.01 on the call, while the
general list opened firm at an adj
vance of II to % points and active
months sold % to q points net
higher during the first few minutes.
Realizing was extremely heavy,
while there also appeared to be
some reactionary sentiment around
the ring under which December
eased off from 1875 to 1896 and
January from 1880 to 1859, while
May reacted to 1898 shortly after
the opening. Offerings were abb
served on scale down by broad
ening outside demand.
Realizing became active and late
in the day the market became de-
moralized under stop loss orders
selling, heavy liquidation and selling
by commission houses. Calls for
more margin added to the pressure
and the list broke from 90 to 100
points in the last hour. A partial
recovery followed.
The early reaction carried Janu-
airy off to 1851 and May to 1877 or
couple Of points under last nights
closing figures. There was contin-
ued outside buying, however, and as
offerings tapered off somewhat the
market developed renewed strength
with January selling up to 1879 and
May to 2004 before midday. This
made new high records on the late
delivery and prices showed reactions
of 10 or IL points early in the noon
hour, under renewed profit-taking.
Cotton futures closed irregular
and unsettled.

SHARPEST OF BREAKS IN
NEW ORLEANS MARKET

New Orleans, Oct. 25.-Just after
1.20 p. M, with cotton prices stand
ing IL to Is points above yesterdays
closing figures, there occurred one
of the sharpest breaks noted in this
market in years. Within three min
utes the December option fell 70
points, trading from 1903 down to
1880. The only reason for the de-
cline appeared to be bearish circu-
lar from a prominent market writer
who estimated the total crop at H.
100000 bales.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Oct. 25.-Smaller

the price of cotton 80 to SO points up

market today. July was sent TO

all parts of the country.
Extremely heavy realizing of
profits met the advance and by the
middle of the morning trading
months were at net rise of only
to s points. At noon the market was
steadier at a net gain of II to Is
points.
In the afternoon the market was
nervous with quick fluctuations with
in narrow limits as the result of
spurts of fresh buying and periods
of liquidation. At 1890 prices were
IS to i5 points over yesterdays last
quotations. Spot cotton closed firm
