NEW YORK. Sept. 85.-Prices tn the early cotton market showed no change and the volume of business was light. Similar con ditions prevailed tn thq foreign markets. Weather news moncpoßxea attention. The temperature this morning In the cotton belt was quite moderate and sufficiently so to help the crop where help is possible. On the ether hand the trade are bearing tn mind that frost will soon be due and that It would be Sheer folly to attempt the market at the present **»-» A low temperature prevailed •n> -Kansas thia morning and anything like cold weather on outskirts of the cotton belt suffices to produce a scare at this season of the year. The south appeared as a seller during the morning, causing prices to weaken 4 to 5 points. European buying arrested the decline. The port receipts were 86.000. against 50.000 The government forecast was for cooler weather tn the southwest Liver pool was unchanged. The statistical situ ation presents some interesting features and on the whole there is much to encourage friends of cotton at the present time. The price for middling cotton is about 2%c below last year, the corresponding date. The re ceipts have been thus far for the new crop but ».<*». against 383.008. New York stocks are 6M86 leas than last year. The consoli dated stocks are 6.000 bales leas than last year. Liverpool stocks of Americans are but slightly ahead of last year and mills are carrying but small supply. Eastern and southern mills in many instances have allow ed stocks to run down to a small point Ex ports of yarns and cloths from the United Kingdom have been showing a marked de crease all of which should help the price of cotton. C. P. ElHs & Co.’s Cotton Letter. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 35.—Liverpool changes were unimportant. Cables reported a paucity of offering but a meagre demand. From the continent opinions were expressed that so soon as a steadier feeling developed the demand would show an Improvement. On this side values have receded five to seven points under a moderate amount of liquidation, which coming upon a market absolutely de void of speculative support exercised mors than its natural effect. Receipts continue comparatively small, which can In part be attributed to the disposition on the part of the Interior to hold, encouraged by the very moderate crop ideas tn circula tion. but the cause of the light movement Is. perhaps, to be found In the absolute stagnation of foreign buying, which Is tn striking con trast to the enormous purchases effected at this period a year ago. Sellers are not aggressive. fearing over night changes In the weather, without which, in the near future, prices will probably recede to a level ntrtseary to attract more trade buying, as the apathy of speculation leaves the market entirely dependent upon this fac tor tor support.

Sept 26.—The outlook la very much more encouraging for the sale of fruits and produce and the demand is ven' much Improved for the past week. Eggs are ex tremely scarce and are finding ready sale to day at 18c per dosen. Hena moving readily at 30c each; friers 15c to 25c each, owing to sise and poultry was never scarcer at any season of the year than it Is at present. The market is very bare on cabbage and all receipts are disposed of readily at paying prices. It will require at least another week for our market to clean up on Irish potatoes and we hope then for a good steady demand at regular prices. Well cured onions of good sise are a very scarce article and bringing fancy prices. Sweet potatoes are being Überally supplied by home truckers and selling at 50c per bushel. Tomatoes are rarely to be seen on the mar ket and have advanced at least 25 per cent. Receipts of celery are normal and well bleached stock finding ready sale. The ship per should guard against shipping unbleached stock. . Bell peppers have taken on new life and have advanced 25c per crate. Pineapples are a very scarce article and liberal shipments will meet with ready sale and fancy prices. Green apples are In liberal supply but tak ing quaUty Into consideration they are bring ing extremely good prices. Keifer pears for preserving have advanced 10c to 15c per bushel and the demand Is enormous. Ths favorable weather we are now having is causing a heavy demand for everything han dled in a commission house and receipts being light, high prices are the order of the day.

MAY HAvf TO~BORRbw. British Government May Be Compelled to Again Seek a Loan of Funds. NEW YORK, Sept. 23—In financial cir cles the opinion is growing that there will have to be further borrowing by the British government as the result of the continued fighting in South Africa, says the London correspondent of The Tribune. The only relief to the drain upon the re sources of the nation is the money which is expected to be realised by the sale of farms belonging to those Irreconcilable Boers who have left their wives and chil dren to the care of Lord Kitchener. This relief can only be very trifling, however, and it is hardily likely to have any ap preciable effect. Commencing on the military situation the correspondent says: The newspapers are clamoring for ener getic prosecution of the struggle and are pleased to be able to print Lord Kitchen er’s announcement of the capture of Koch's commando and the Carolina com mando. These British successes are regarded as some compensation for the reverses re ported last week. General Louis Botha has now lost a large number of his cattle, and he may find it necessary to alter consider ably his plans. Kretzinger endeavored to imitate the example set him by Smuts of cutting his way through the British lines; he failed, but Lovat's scouts suf fered severely in keeping him south of the Oi-ange river. The apparently inex haustible supply of ammunition which the Boers have at their command is the sub ject of considerable talk among stock ex change men. Doubtless the stores import ed before the war have not yet been en tirely used up or captured, but private advices point to a possible leakage at Capetown and other points. A serious state of things prevails in Cape Colony from the Orange river to the sea. It is in a condition of open or incip ient rebellion. A letter from an Express correspondent at Capetown tells of pillag ing commandoes wandering free from'se rious Interference, of farms deserted by their rebel prospectors, of armored trains that have been forced to patrol the lines as far south as Paarlor Worcester and of the strengthening of the defenses at Cape town itself. For the first time it is now known in this country that Sheepers suc ceeded in capturing the Loyal delegates on their return to their homes in Oudisckron, welcoming the duke of Cornwall at Cape town. Lord Kitchener’s message clears up the mystery as to the location of the waterworks mentioned in recent dis patches. reporting the capture of two guns by the Boers. It was generally understood that it was the Pretoria waterworks re ferred to, but It is now clear that it was the Bloom fontein waterworks from which the guns and escort started. It is a singular coindence that the bat tery which lost a gun near the water works In the fight of March 31, 1900, should lose two more within 15 miles of that place 18 months later. TARGET FOR~LIVE RATS. NEW YORK. Sept. 23.—According to the story told here by a Venexuelan who reached New York a few days ago. Gen eral Jose Manuel Hernandez, the head of the conservative party in Venezuela, and who is a political prisoner, is undergoing treatment even worse than that of Drey fus in Devil’s Island. His political and military strength was recently shown, says The Tribune, in the organization of a revolutionary movement on the frontier under the leadership of General Rangel Garblras. This uprising, which President Castro called a "Colombian invasion,” was in reality a Hernandez movement, it is said. "Immediately following this," said one of Hernandes's former fellow-prisoners now here, "began the systematic attacks on General Hernandez, which his friends fear will end the veteran’s career. The first move was to transfer him to the darkest dungeon in the foul smelling old fort. A huge ball was fastened to his ankle. He Is held In communicado—that Is, no one is allowed to see him. nor is he permitted to communicate with the out side world. He is even denied the usual exercise about the prison yards. His keepers take fiendish delight in throwing large llvb rats, spiders and other vermin into his dungeon, particularly when he sleeps. The rations allowed General Her nandez are only half those required by a man of his physique.” Nicholas Hernandez, who Ilves in New York, is a son of General Hernandez. He says that this statement of the situation is confirmed by reports reaching him from otner sources. General Hernandez visited New York a few years ago. REVOLUTION OUTBREAK REVIEWED BY DETAIL. NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-A Bocas del Toro’s correspondent of The Journal and Advertiser gives the following on the out break of the Colombian revolution in that section: When we first heard of the revolution ists in this neighborhood, two months ago, they were about 100 miles down the coast at a place called Cocle, where they tried to persuade the master of a fruit steamer calling there for cargo that they could mako better use of the steamer than he could. He managed to keep his ship and get to sea with a half cargo. There were then about sixty or eighty of them at that point. This episode caused the government to send a squad of about 25 soldiers to occu- py tho town of Bocas del Toro, and that put It under martial, law. About August 15th we learned that a force of fifty rebels had occupied a place called Sunset Point, fifteen miles down the lagoon, and looted the Chinese shops there. This brought another reinforce ment of a company of sixty men from Panama. A few days later the Insurgents took possession of Old Bank, situated , about a mile and a half from here, across the channel, and an Intervening island. Careening Cay. From there they sent word Into the town to surrender It peacefully and save bloodshed, as they had no desire to hurt any one, but they were bound to have the town. The authorities did not surrender, but sent to Panama for reinforcements, which arrived on Sunday, September Ist. On Monday, September 2d, there was nothing done, except to look over the ground and tell of the great things that were going to be done tomorrow, for this is the land of "Manana” (tomorrow.) On Tuesday, September 3d, the govern ment forces pressed into use' several gaso line launches from about the harbor and a small sloop. With one of the launches towing the sloop they took a greater part of tho troops from the town and went forth with a multitude of blue flags, as if bound for battle, but they only occupied San Juan point, on .Sansy Cay, where the hospital of the United Fruit company is situated. The conservatives or "blues” are tho present incumbents in office, while the liberals or “reds” are the outs. When the enemy perceived that most of the forces had been brought away from the town they thought it was a good time to make a flank movement, so they loaded the Ola with their soldiers and started to land them on the beach of Shallow Bay, above the town. This was seen by the colonel command ing at Nansy Cay, who started four launches with the sloop loaded with men to intercept them. As soon as they got within range there was a brisk inter change of shots, the blues doing their best to cripple the Ola so that she could not proceed. She seemed to suffer severely, for she circled about and put in for shore again, closely followed by the other boats. Ono of the latter lost her Jamaican en gineer by a stray bullet, and two men were wounded slightly. They followed the Ola to within 100 yards of the shore. Here the fire from her friends on the shore became rather warm, and the commander of the flotilla made his great mistake in not landing and rushing the trenches, but It seems that the sight of the dead ’.engineer and the two wounded men was- too much blood, so they withdrew to the safe view point of tho hospital and resumed their waste of cartridges at a 2,000 yards range, with nothing in sight but a few small houses and thatched huts to shoot at. WHATTHEGOVERNORS SAID. Warm Corre«pondence Between North and South Carolina and Georgia. Governor Candler, of Georgia, Is now in correspondence with the executive de partments of two states regarding affairs that are proving of Interest both here and in the effected commonwealths. The first correspondence is with Gov ernor Aycock, of North Carolina, who has asked for extradition papers for Sheriff Lovingood and Deputy Sheriff Finley, of Fannin county. So far extra dition papers have been refused and un less the governor of North Carolina shows Governor Candler that the two officers are guilty they will be allowed to continue their duties in Fannin county. Not many weeks ago, it appears. Bert Henry, of Fannin county, was indicted by the grand jury. Learning that the officers of the law were after him he es caped across the border of Tennessee. Extradition papers were secured from Governor McMillin, of Tennessee, but when that state was entered the prey had again escaped, fleeing this time to Mur phy. N. C. Going to Murphy the Georgia officers f?und Henry and at their reguest he. was taken ihto custody, the intention being to return to Georgia and secure extradi tion papers. Henry,' it’ls said, announced that he was willing tooreturn to Georgia without extradition and was brought; back to Fannin county by the officers. He gave bond and returned immediate ly to Murphy, where he swore out war rants for the arrest of Sheriff Lovin good and Deputy Sheriff Finley, charging them with kidnaping. Governor Aycock, of North Carolina, has made demand upon Governor Cand ler, of Georgia, for‘extradition papers and the correspondence is now in pro gress, the governor of Georgia declaring that he will not surrender his officer* until-he is convinced of their guilt. The other correspondence relates to Concha Balaguer, who Is said to be In sane and who has been sent by the au-< thorttles of Georgia and South Carolina to that state and this for several times. Several days ago there came from the executive office of Governor McSweeney, of South Carolina, a letter to the gov ernor of Georgia, in which the South Car olinian stated that he saw no reason why an insane woman that belonged to Geor gia should be sent to South Carolina. The letter states that South Carolina con sidered this an infringement upon her hospitality, but that South Carolina could doubtless take care of Cocha Balaguer, as that state was already caring for a number of Georgia’s Insane. Governor Candler replied, referring to the communication from South Carolina as a "remarkable letter” and stating that he presumed that it was sent without the knowledge of Governor McSweeney. Yesterday a reply was received from Governor McSweeney, in which he stated that the letter had been written by his order. He did not consider it a “remark able letter.” Governor McSweeney stated that he had Instructed the superintendent of the Insane asylum at Columbia to pre pare a list of the Georgia inmates for the benefit of the governor of Georgia. Governor Candler will not reply until he has received this list. KILLED MAN FOR 40 CENTS. After Losing, Negro Demand* Money Baek and When Refused, Shoot*. PENSACOLA, Fla., Sept. 23.—Eugene Stokes, colored, was committed to the county jail yesterday without bail on a charge of murder. He will be held to await the action of the next grand jury, which will be called together In Novem ber. Stokes had a preliminary hearing be fore Justice Levy Friuay evening at Cot tage Hill, in the northern part of this county, and tho evidence was very much against him. It was shown that he had shot down, without any provocation, a negro named William Clark at Molino, Fla., some two weeks ago. The negroes at that place had given a dance, and the usual row and fight oc curred. A game of cards had been in progress, and Stokes had lost. A young negro had won the limited supply of btokes’ shekels, and the prqwess of the young negro had angered Stokes, who de manded that his money be returned. It was only 81.40, and 31 was returned. The remaining 40 cents was also demanded, and when It was refused the fatal shots were fired by Stokes, who, together with several other? now in the county jail, are very good candidates for the gallows. There are fifteen alleged murderers in the county jail here awaiting trial. First Snow Fall* in Montana. The first snow of the season is falling today at Havre, Montana. It is caused by the areas of low baro metric pressure that are central in that section of the country. There is one just to the north and one to the south. The high barometer over the northern portion of the great lakes has something to do with the first snow. Locally there has been little change in the weather conditions with the exception of a slight tendency to warmer, There ia no promise of any change in the weather, although it may be several degree* warmer.

A large number of the first crude cartridges made for use during the beginning of the war will be presented to them. These are paper shells, and were manufactured in the old building at the Southern depot formerly used as the Door of Hope. They were made for the shotguns that were substituted for rifles in the beginning of the war. Thick brown paper, 'the best that could be had at the time, was used for wads. It was decided recently to have cavalry men bring up the rear of the big parade during the reunion and Captain Warren Mosely was put in charge of this feature of the reunion. So far he has heard from more than a hundred old cavalrymen who say they want a place for themselves and their horses.in the parade.

WILL DESTROY 10,000 MAPS. New Map Ha* County of Berrien In the Wrong Flace. Ten thousand maps of the state of Geor gia, showing tn brilliant red lines the con gressional districts of the state, will be destroyed by the department of agricul ture.' The cause of the annihilation of the maps is the misplacing of the eounty of Berrien, lying in the southern part of the state. .The agricultural department, in the preparation of their new book, on the re sources at Georgia, has embodied in It a map showing the congressional districts of the state. A shipment of the maps ar rived a short time ago. Commissioner Stevens displayed some of them on a re cent visit he made to south Georgia, and one of the maps came under the eye of \ Congressman W. G. Brantley, of the Elev enth district. • Immediately tho congressman noticed that one of his count.es, according to the red lines, had been divorced from him and given to the second district, represented by Congressman Griggs. Congressman Brantley did not know of any movement by which the county of Berrien had been taken from him, so he immediately asked for information from the department of agriculture conc<rnli%fa4 it, anu upon investigation the department discovered that the red line had been wrongly drawn. Rand. McNally & Co., of Chicago, who printed the. maps, were notified, and the result was that they have agreed to de stroy the plato giving the wrong division between the lines and to print a new lot of maps, correcting the mistake. The maps are very handsome publica tions, and have attracted much attention wherever they have been seen. They will be a valuable addition to the book which the department is now pre paring.
