-Cotton Still Declining.
New York, Oct. 26.—Dry groods arc
■quiet in all lines again this week. It
was hoped that an increase in interest
in some grades would be noticed, but
so far this has failed to materialize.
The lack of seasonable weather has un
doubtedly had much to do with the
current dullnes, but the reticence of buy
ers is also attributed to no small de
gree to the current belief that the low
price of cotton gives manufacturers of
cotton goods an opportunity to make
money at current prices, »»d that there
will be many opportunities to purchase
before prices are advanced. Woolen
goods on the other hand, are well sup
ported, and the utmost confidence is
evinced by sellers as to the future of the
woolen goods trade. The demand for
seasonable goods is well sustained. In
staple cottons the local first hand market
is still dull. Print cloths remain inac
tive at the low price prevailing, 2%
cents.
COTTON.
New York, Oct. 26. —The cotton mar
ket, after opening easy at a decline of
4 to 8 points, showed considerable irre
gularity and was generally weak, public
cables being against the market and pri
vate cables still more so. At the same
time the movement of cotton was ex
ceeding estimates and spot buyers, for
eigners even more than American con
sumers, were not inclined to anticipate
wants. Covering in the early afternoon
carried prices up a little, but there was
renewed liquidation iu the afternoon
and the prices returned to about the
lowest level of the session, with the tone
finally easy at a net decline of 6 to 7
points and sales of 141,100 bales.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, Oet. 2G. —Trading iu stocks
during the early part of the day was re
stricted in volume and the fluctuations
in prices was narrow and irregular. The
latter part of the day saw quite an in
crease in activity and a rise of prices to
the highest of the day, the declines be
fore the close being small. Union Pa
cific continued to be the centre of inter
est in the market and ruled above yes
terday’s close all day and closed this af
ternoon at near the best and 2\i above
last night’s close. The opening gain was
due largely to sympathy with London,
which sent a higher quotation for the
stock. The belief gained ground as the
day advanced that the government and
the re-organization committee would
come to an agreement on the basis of
the committee’s expressed intention to
L»id the full amount of the government
ciatna on tlje main line. The fact that
this bid feave£H4<i government’s claim
ot over $13,000,000 on‘'th€L. K aD sa3 Pa
cific unprovided for and the iUisqfs that
increased bids might? be made by other
interests which would for this indebted-
ness caused some feverishness in the
speculation at this time, as the accept
ance of such a bid by the government
would endanger the whole plan of re
organization in spite of the assertion of
the committee that they were prepared
to carry it out even if the government
should bid in the Pacific. Rut late in
the day reports form Washington as
sumed quite a definite form that the
Cabinet had resolved to accept the com
mittee's intended bid as a minimum
guarantee and withdraw their request
for a permanent foreclosure sale of
the line. A fall of B*4 points in the
price of the Kansas Pacific consol sixes
trust receipts was the forecast of the
news received later from Washington
that the committee’s agreement with the
government included an assent to post
ponement of the Kansas Pacific sale,
presumably with a view to giving the
government an opportunity to secure a
bid on this property that would provide
for a part or the whole of its claim.
As the chances of a separate bid on the
Kansas Pacific are considered remote
the price of the consol sixes rallied 4 per
cent, and closed at 92. Trading in
Union Pacific absorbed over a quarter
of the total sales of all stocks. Outside
of the Grangers, Sugar, Chicago Gas
and Bay State Gas business was of
verr small proportions. The tone of the
market was strong, however, and mate
rial recoveries from yesterday’s decline
were made averaging a point in the
Grangers and other leading stocks. Bay
State Gas was weak. Decline in rates
for call money and some very favorable
statements of railroad earnings for the
third week in October assisted the re
covery. There were purchases for Lon
don account of some of the favorite in
ternational stocks, incident to the settle
ment day on the London Exchange. This
nerved to keep up the price of Louisville
in spite of the continued decrease in its
earnings on account of the yellow fever
quarantine. Pittsburg, S. C. and St. L.
was active and strong and rose at one
time two per cent, but reacted slightly.
Michigan Central was conspicuous for an
advance of 2%. The latter tone for
Americans in London was taken as a
reflecting decline of apprehension over
the Spanish relations with the United
States.
Dealings in railway bonds were not
large but the tone was firm with the
exception of the Kansas Pacific bonds
above noted. Total sales, $1,150,000.
United States new 4’s were advanced
% bid.
Total sales of stocks to-day were 24R.-
700 shares, including C. B. and Q., 22,-
989; New York Central, 6,151; Northern
Pacific, preferred, 9,235; Rock Island,
7,895; St. Paul, 18,499; Union Pacific,

LONDON.
New York, Oct. 26.—The Evening
Post’s London financial cablegram says;
The stock markets opened dull but
closed firm. Americans were quite a
dollar above the lowest, with a good un
dertone. Money was dear at the settle
ment, because of the general rise in
interest, but the account was really
quite moderate. Contangos on Ameri
cans were about 4*4 per cent, though
leaders at one time tried to exact more.
In spite of the dearness of money and
a possible rise in the Bank of England’s
discount rate this week, the outlook for
the market is. not altogether unfavor
able.
The Paris and Berlin markets were
dull.

GOV. M’LAURINS TABLE MAN

One of the “burning questions” in
Mississippi is about Gov. McLaurin eat
ing greens with his knife. I)r. Johnson
preferred a cellar restaurant in London
" here . lie could eat with his fingers,
keep his hat on while dining, and then
wipe his hands on the back of a New
foundland dog. Terhaps Gov. McLaurin,
as a compromise, might eat greens with
chop-sticks.

Car of C. &O. “ •• « “ 1.32.
The N. &W. car was Pocahontas coal, the
C. & O. car was some other and as good ae
any that comes to this market except Pocahon
tas. This is a saving of 12%c. per hour. A
car load lasted 86 hours, saving on a car load
of 110.35. Mr. Greason is well posted in hie
business and disinterested. Let those who have
