Sc despierta Espana entera
bendiciendo ell dos de mayo.
Sc apag6 ell eco, v sentf
latir mi fe borincana.
ia honrar tn progenie hispan
We me dijo: y heme aquf.
Ahora, pues, que a la vigilia
traigo yoz Y pensamiento,
recordar quiero un momentO
cierta historic de familia:
Erase agreste pen6n,
en- torno la mar serena;
sobre ell pen6n una almena,
en- la almena un pabell0n.
aHse4ss
Cerca ell agrio penascal
con zafiro ell horizonte,
y entrana y cresta del monte
incendia luz tropical.
De aquella region extrana
no perturba la quietud,
convulsi6n de multitud
nj rugido de alimana.
iPaz, con sus leyes enseiia
ell castellano en- ell murO;
Paz !, canta ell pastor obscure
adormecido en- la brefia.
Y en- la muelle laxidad
dan cebo, en- valles y alcores,
estrellas, aves y flores.
= aislamiento y Soledad.
Bendecida roca! Al verla
dibujarse entire las brumas,
cual cisne en- lecho de espumas,
alguno la llam6 perla.
Y perla limpida es
que hallada Ell ell oceano,
engarzola al cetro hispano
un JoyerO genOves.
Por alhajas- de mas precio
descuidola ell poseedor
hacienda de su valor
desdenoso menosprecio;
Y como -oveja ruin
que no abulta Ell la .manada,
qued0 la pobre olvidada
sin amparo de. mastfn.
Nunca para lobo hambriento
parecio faca la oveja,
v la audacia Sc aconseja
bien con feble abatimiento;
Mas suele en- vana Illusion
disOlverse ell egoismo,
81 ha erigido al patriotismo
altar mudo ell coraz6n.
Media ell curse abril amigo
Iy ell alba pristina raya,l
cuandO anuncia ell atalaya
del MORO buque enemigo.
Pide auxilio la .ansiedad
en- vano la incertidumbre;
de oriente muestra ell vislumbre
desnuda la realidad.
Sesenta naves britanas,
cual pelicanos voraces,
fiechan sus proras tenaces'
a las costas borincanas.
La ley brutal de rapina
que da la razon al fuerte,
en-breve con hierro y, muerte,
desvastara la campila.
Ell altivo pabell6n
peligra en- la erguida almena;
peligra la paz serena,
timbre de aquella region;
Que aunque en- los muros mer
s(guado
no faltan viriles pechos,
son mezquinos los pertrechos,
para luchar no hay soldados.
/
JSoldados faltan? Leones,
a la voz de Espaiia Y cierra!
escupe ell llano y la sierra
en- formidables legiones.
iMiradl los urbanos son;
los pastores indolentes
que Sc levantan rugientes

DEAR|SH CROP IS LOOKED FOR AND
 CORN TOOK TUMBLE
Cats Were About Balanced, While Provisions Were 45c Off to a Rise
 of 25c

Chicago, October S.-Correct anticipa- tions that the government crop report would prove bearish as to corn had much to do today with declines which took place in the corn market. Prices closed unsettled at Ad4c net lower, with Decem- Der $1. .S3a1 .22A and May s1 .205sG11. .20s4. Oats finished unchanged to kGAc higher. In provisions the outcome varied fnom 45c- off to rise of 25c
 It was the generally accepted estimate before hand that the government report would indicate a substantial increase of the yield of corn as with knowledge that for the first time in a long while the average price of hogs had fallen be- low $15 a hundredweight, told heavily from the outset as a weight on the value of corn.
 The ongshoremen's strike operated also as an element of depression. Rallies which took place as a result of expect ed widespread rains were not of lasting sort
 Oats displayed strength owing to a mo- tlceable absence of selling pressure The government report was about as had been looked for concerning oats.
 Weakness in the hog market pulled down provisions. The effect, though, was afterward counterbalanced in part through buying for packers.

S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Letter

New Orleans, October S-The English market this morning was about 12 points higher than due and with spot sales Of 10000 bales. in conjunction with the con tinued bad weather here, brought an ad- vance in our market at the opening of 70 to 50 points, December trading at oS cents early. This strong opening was foi- lowed by some realizing which was read fly absorbed the market reflecting builish opinion and displayed a strong undertone. Directly and indirectly the weather con- ditions are still the main cause TOT strength in the markets. Today bad, rainy weather was still shown over most or the belt. The storm formation in the southeastern waters will probably hasten the advance of the cold wave and dam age to the western crop is probability
 Advices from Texas spot markets are bullish, the weather reports states that heavy rains have damaged quantity ana the grade extensively. One spot house with branches in Texts was advised to sell no spots above middling.

Thomason-Parker & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, October S.-A rise of about T cent a pound resulted in cotton today from the increased strength of the spot situation There was much realizing al the advance but fresh buying for long account easily absorbed what satlsnea longs threw up on the market. Liverpool was better than due and the market opened at Q stiff rise. For while carry prices were the highest but in the carry afternoon strength was found on the mar- ket went to 90 to 10i points higher than the closing quotations of yesterday.
 Liverpool reported 10000 bales sold Tn the spot Augusta wired out that ooVu bales there had been sold to Bremen ana many points in the interior told ., a good demand at higher prices FIrsher rains in Texas were the cause or much complaint and claims of increased dam age to the grade On top Of everything else were rumors of a drastic cut in ocean freight rates for the near future WHICH if they come about would have the zen dency to stimulate the export demand The market closed on net gains or 70 to 65 poin+s.-Shepard & Gluck.

COTTON SITUATION

The nervousness over fhe labor situa- ton caused more or less irregularity in the cotton market during the early part of the week, but a strong undertone was displayed at all times, owing to firmer ruling of foreign exchange, apprehension regarding the crop and continued reports of an active spot demand. Although the spot situation on the surface appears highly encouraging. too much stress should not be laid upon the present ac- tivity as it is more than probable that the recent demand has been to fill out old engAgements for September delivery, while the firmness in prices can also be measurahly accounted for by the small early receipts due to the lateness of the crop. Ginning, however, is daily increas- ing and the weight of the new crop move ment has yet to be felt in the southern markets.
 It is doubtful if the improvement in ex- change has any lasting qualities. Credit arrangements must first be made in a large and comprehensive way and this is unlikely until the signing of the peace treaty, which seems some distance off. For the present, therefore, no improve ment in the export demand is to be ex- pected
 The factor which continues to lend itself to a bullish interpretation is the supply situation. If private reports are to be depended upon the crop deterioration for the month approximates g points, wEich, allowing for an abandonment of per cent in acreage, points to 2 crop of only a little over 100000 bales. The official crop indication at the end of last month, it will be recalled, was Il ,23l 900 bales, SO that the rrivate figures suggest a falling off of over 100000 bales. Notwithstanding the reliability of many of the independent reports. the trade is disposed to await the census bureaus figures. which will be published October ?. Meanwhile the pos sibility of any early killing frost is be- coming more of a, sentimental factor as the season for cold snaps approaches and many shrewd judges of the cotton situa- ton appear to favor the constructive ae- count On the market reactions as they oc- cur-Henry Clews & Co.

GOES UP ANOTHER CENT ON
 BULL|SH FACTORS
General List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of 90 to 115 Points Over Pre-
 viOus Close

New York. October S-The continued bullish character of crop and spot news served to stimulate buying in the cot ton market today, and there was fur ther advance of approximately a cent a pound in prices. December sold up to ;'S. aoc, or l0l points above the closing price of yesterday, and 260 points above the low leveNof last Saturday That de- livery closed at SS 12c. with the general list closing firm at a net advance of 90 to 115 points,
 The market opened firm at an advance Of to So points, and sold 45 to 50 points above last nights closing figures during the first few minutes in response to the strong cables, continued rains in the south and reports during the first minutes in response to the strong cables, con- tinued rains in the south and reports of an active spot demand. There was some realizing around 32.67c for weekly report of the weather bureau had been discount ed, but the offerings were absorbed on reactions of 15 to IT points, and the market soon firmed up again.
 Reports of an advancing spot basis and an active demand from shorts for October shipment owing to the wet weather in central and western sections of the belt were the prominent feature of the afternoon advance which ex- tended to 32 ,S5c for October and SS.sSc for January, or 9S to 1a2 points net higher.
 The close was only few points off from the best on the active months under real izing Reports that Germany had ne- gotiated a Dutch credit amounting to l. e00, 900 marks were mentioned among the earc bull features. The strength of the stock market also seemed to encour- age optimism over outside conditions which helped to offset easier foreign exchange rates and probably increased the disposition to bullish spot and crop news.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, October S.-Cables were slightly higher than due this rnorninS' Reports of heavy rains in Texas caus- ing damage to the crop, brought snort covering and buying, which was re- ported to be for a prominent northern operator Trade buying was in very much smaller volum ethan for some time past the principal buyers being investors who believe the short crop will cause materially higher prices re- gardless of any falling off in consump- tion. Naturally, after the sharp ad- vance of the past few days, sentiment is extremely bullish. Aside from the heavy rains the weather continues warm for this time of the year, with no signs as yet of frost The weekly weather report indicated that the crop was still making in west and north Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and northern Alabama.-Hubbard Bros & Co.

Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York. october S.-The sensational ly bullish spot advices. with the strength of the stock market which has taken to reflect increasing confidence in general conditions, both in this country and abroad, kept the market firm with an advancing tendency. Cables from Liver pool reported additional sales, bringing the total up to 2O0O0 for the day. It is a long time since any such sales have been reported for a single day. Weather advices were also unfavorable with rains reported in the central belt and western belt with three and one-quarter inches at points in Oklahoma.
 It is said that nothing is offering as high as strict good middling and the premium on grades from that down to middling are very high and still advanc- ing rapidly. No one who contemplates selling should overlook the requirements of the present contract and character of the crop.-Post & Flagg.

Liver pool sold 20,00O bales and New Orleans traded in about 5000 bales at rate of a aent a pound. Interior points generally reported a keen demand with little oher- Ing. There is increasing anxiety over the better grades, in which there appears 10 le large short interest There was more rain in Texas last night, which means

 New Orleans, October S.-Higher prices prevailed in cotton today from openine to close new high levels being reache for the bull movement now under way Further improvements in the spot situa ton was mainly responsible for the buy ing. which was strongest in the early afternoon when October traded to 33. 79c and prices were about a cent pound UT for the day. Spot here were marked ur a cent & pound to 3363c for middlino on sales of about 5000 bales, and interio' points as well as port markets reported a good demand at higher prices. Liver pools sales of 10000 bales on the spot created considerable stir.
 In the early trading prices were abouf one-half cent higher on good cables, ia vorable spot messages from the interior and the rains in the wes'srn belt Fol lowing the first rise there was a periot of small reactions, due to realizing b., longs, but in the early afternoon there was fresh bulge on which the tradinr months went 90 to 104 points above yes terday's close.

New York, October s.-The market for coffee futures was nervous and irregular after yesterdays advance. but showed a tendency to ease off under realizing. The opening was 1 to 3 points higher on the higher cables from Rio, but the reaction of Santos futures increased the tendency to take profits on recent purchases, and after selling II to 13 points above last nights closing figures prices turned easier.
