Se has established a goat ranch. A few
n. las ago, when he took an inventory
of h r go.us, by rounding them up, he
blind that he had a little over 1,700. As
{.■us multiply very rapidly, there is no
.ng how many he has now. Herding

f-neraUy admitted by those qualified to
judge that she has within her borders vast

ter of time when she will take a leading
p-sitim m gold production. A continu
~i: n of what is generally known as the
"Dshloncga Belt” traverses the county,

ra id in the earlier days of mining, when
placer work was the only thing thought
•f. Within the past few years, however,
bin mining has begun to attract atten

Instrate that White is entitled to the fav

gaining her freedom continued in the ser

Jose Morales, senior member of the firm
of Jose Morales & Cos., and managing
owner of the large cigar factory in Port
Tampa City, died Saturday at his resi
dence in Hyde Park. Mr. Morales had
been ill for several months. He suffered
acutely from asthma, which, aboilt three
months ago, develojed into an attack of
double pneumonia. It was then realized
that his condition was serious, and the
best of medical skill was afforded lo save
his life. The prominent manufacturer
gradually grew worse, however. Mr.
Morales was about 50 years of age, and
had been a resident of Tampa for about
twelve years. His factory at Port Tampa
City, is one of the largest in the country,
and the deceased always took a promi
nent part in the development of this great
industry. He leaves a wife and four child

MAKING MONEY ON THE SIDE.
How Many' English Clergymen In
crease Their Incomes.
From the London Mail.
As the topic of the remuneration of the
c’.ergy is very much lo the fore Just now,
and is even being made the subject of pos
sible legislation, it will doubtless be inter
esting to mention a few instances in which
the reverend gentlemen have not waited
for parliamentary interference, but set
about increasing their slender incomes in
their own way.
Of course the most popular form (heir
efforts take is usually that of contributions
to various magazines and it is safe to say
that there are dozens, if nil hundreds, of
the clergy who earn an appreciable
amount in this way. The writing and
composing of hymns is .also a method
c'osely aljietf to the forego.ng
One rector in Norfolk figures as a nur
seryman in his spate t me, his specialty
being roses, and many visitors to the
Broads will doubtless remember the sight
his garden affords from the river in flow
ering time. That he finds it yie.ds profit
as well as pleasure is evidenced by the
fact that he spends nearly 1109 per annum
simply to advertise ins various loses and
other plants f.r sale. Another cleric, whoso,
living is in tile tountry of Nottingham,
aso lets his sup,l mentsry pecuniary ef
forts run in the direction of horticulture,
his particular fancy being zonal pelargon
iums and geraniums, which era of first
rate quality.
Although not sn,d under iiis name, a cer
tain paste for rejuvenatin': silk hnls is
the invention of a Church of England min
ister, who directs a snug little business
in it through the medium of a relation,
who poses as a proprietor. Down in S'.n
rey one of the eioth employs his spare
time in rearing prize strains of poultry,
to which he has lately added canaries as
a source of further profit. In the south
western counties, which are rich in min
erals, small collections of geological spec
imens are formed, named and sold by cler
gymen to students who are hi want of
such things. As much of this business is
done through the medium ~f advertise
ment the cleric suffers no los3 of pres
tige if he does not et his name appear.
Bee farming was taken up by a clergyman
in Essex, but up lo the present does not
appear to have been a particular success.
It will be seen that it is necessafy to
live in the country to carry out most of
these schemes effectively. For the over
worked underpaid city curate there seems
to be nothing that he can turn his atten
tion to.

BOOM IN TURPENTINE.
Tlie Upward Tendency Well Main
tained by Moderate Receipts anil
a Good Demand—Rosin Firm anil
Unchanged, Except an Advance of
5 Cents on Grade M—Local and Tel
egraphic Markets.
Savannah, Nov. 13.—From tho further
drop of % cent in the cotton market, to
day it looks like the recent advances are
to be lost. At the opening the market
was unchanged from Saturday's closing,
but at the second call it was marked down
1-16 cent, and at the closing call another
1-16. Spirits turpentine is still booming,
and the present movement of the price
promises to furnish another top notch
market, provided the demand holds out
the same as at present and its effect is
not offset by heavy receipts. While the
market was quoted at an inside and out
side price, it is said that the demand at
49',2 cents, the outside price, was very en
couraging to factors. Rosin was firm,
with grade F quotid at $1.15, the outside
price, and M marked up 5 cents. The
wholesale markets were steady and a fair
volume of business reporled. The follow
ing resume of the different markets wilt
show the tone and quotations at the close
to-day:
COTTON.
The close at the Cotton Exchange to
day was at a decline of j&c on all grades.
The tone was quiet and easy, and transac
tions light. At the opening call sales of 6
bales were reported, at the 1 o'clock call
further sales of 135 bales, and at the clos
ing none, making a total of 141 bales for
the day. There was a slight improvement
in the receipts, as compared with the dif
ference between this and last year’s for
several days past.
The following were the official spot quo
tations, at the close of the market, at the
Cotton Exchange to-day:

THE COTTON MARKET.
New York, Nov. 13.—Liquidation was the
leading feature of speculation on the Cot
ton Exchange most of the day and the
course of prices practically from the start
was steadily downward.
In res;>onse to our up-turn of Saturday,
Liverpool opened considerably higher this
morning, and for a time showed a healthy
undertone. The better feeling abroad In
duced room bulls and a number of Invest
ors to take hold at tho opening, with the
result that Ihe feeling was steady. Prices
were 1 point lower to 3 points higher. Sub
sequent events proved the Initial quota
tions to lie alKiut top for ttfb day. Soon
after t lie opening the foreign news look a
turn for the worse, and led by bears, sell
ing was soon general. Exporters lent their
aid toward depressing the market and did
the foreign contingent.
Notwithstanding predictions of a week
or ten days ago that in view of tremendous
purchases by the European spinners and
American manufacturers a much larger
movement was naturally in order, shorts

COTTON LETTERS.
New York, Nov. 13,-Hubbard Bros &
Cos. say of cotton: Extensive liquidation of
outside holdings, coupled with the execu
tion of slop orders, broke the market badly
to-day. At one time the pressure was so
heavy that it was thoroughly demoralized,
but rallied on the support given by the old
bulls, who bought heavily, causing a sharp
reaction at Ihe close. So far the move
ment, except at Houston, does not show
the increase expected, but everything was
lost sight of to-day In the pressure of the
outside Interests to liquidate their hold
ings. It is evident the influence of the
bureau report in estimating the crop at
9,500,000 bales has been more far-reaching
than the trade expected. The question
now is simply whether the foreign spinners
on the decline, will buy largely enough to
again attract the outside buying, which
has so frequently taken the market away
from them this season.
New York, Nov. 13.—Murphy & Co.’s
cotton letter says: Cotton ha* been fever
ish, with Liverpool's early report of an
advance of 1-32 on spots and 3-64 on fu
tures. Our market opened atiout 2 points
a I Hive Saturday’s closing prices, and re
acted after opening, owing to increasing
receipts and a decline in Liverpool of 1 to
2-64, closing and 1 to 2 points above Sat
urday's prices. Ellison of Liverpool cal
culates that ihe bureau, as heretofore, will
be 10 per cent, under the final crop, hence,
regards the crop as indicat'd by the bu
reau of 9,500,000 will likely reach 10,-
250,000. This and Increasing receipts
started Europe selling to-day, and was fol
lowed by orders to *ell by private wire
houses. American manufacturers having
already secured requirements up to the
fall are not inclined to buy any more cot
ton, though they feel bullish on trade con
ditions In the goods market. New Orleans
estimates for to-morrow 12,000 bales, which,
with 18,000 bales to-day, Is large. Houston
to-morrow expects 23,000 to 25,000 bales.

showed a short-lived hesitation after the
opening this morning, and then turned up
ward. There was no Important backset
for the rest of the day, and the market
closed quiet nnd firm at about the top
level, and at an average of prices a point
or more above that of Saturday. The
early hesitation was caused by the gen
eral conviction that the increased deficit
In the banka’ surplus reserve shown by
the Saturday statement would necessitate
a large loan contraction. There was a
large demand for money during the day,
hut It became manifest curly that there
was an abundant supply.
The bears who sold stocks Saturday In
anticipation of forced liquidation began
promptly to-day to buy to cover their
short contracts. This was a considerable
element In the day's strength. So also
was the buying for London account, which
reached as high as 50,009 shares. This
buying, besides its direct effect, had a
sentimental Influence as Indicating a re
serve force In that market against possi
ble withdrawals of gold for shipment to
New York. The course of the foreign
exchange market during the day gave col
or to the conviction In speculation circle*
that gold exports are near at hand. Tile
tone of tho exchange market during the
day was characterized as demoralized. De
mand sterling was sold at one time during
the day at a concession lie low 485. At that
rate it ts believed that a small loss would
be Involved In the Importation of gold.
But It was the belief on the Stock Ex
change that such an Importation would
be undertaken for the sentimental effect
on the securities market. The exchange
market steadied somewhat, with the lute
fall In the money rate.
The limited calling of loans made It
manifest that the contraction of credits
on last Friday had placed the banks In a
better position than was fully reflected in
the weekly bank statement. Large loans
were on aceount of the locnl trust compa
nies, and the rate was forced down from
the opening at 12 tier cent, to S tier cent.
There was some relief to the money mar
ket from a receipt of over *1,000,000 gold
from Cuba nnd several hundred thousand
dollars to the assay account of gold de
posited at Interior points. Outside finan
cial institutions ore said to be placing
loans on a large scale In the stock market.
A suggestion of possible sources of relief
for local borrowers ashle from the banks
Is found In the last balance sheet of the
Manhattan Hallway Company, where the
Item of loans on call for Sept. .10, 1809,
had expanded over $13,000,000, compared
with the year before.
The fact that the general course of
prices of stocks during the past six weeks
has lieen upward, while the New York
banks have been steadily contracting their
credits, Indicates that borrowers must
have had other sources of supply of which
they have freely drawn. A feature of
to-day's money market was the enlarged
demand in the stock market for time
loans, which were firmly held at 6 per
cent.
Prices of bonds did not fully respond to
the strength In stocks, but there were
sharp rallies In some Issues that showed
early weakness. Total sales, par value
