Murphy & Co.’i Cotton Letter.
TORE, Oct. K—ln th* early cotton mar-
ket today there was a. slightly lower tendency
for the Immediate nnor-month* and an lm*rt>ve
ment in the more distant month* Liverpool
loot 5 points today nnd this encouraged local
Ivars. Despite local hesitation, the underlying
statement was favorable. A threatened strike
at Fall River is being used by bears but with
little effect It is understood that the situa
tion of the dry goods trade could ’hardly be
better and In these circumstances the cessation
of operations at Mills could have no more than
a temporary depressing effect on the price of
the mid material: The weather In the south
was clear with slight frost on the northern bor
der*. Bears raided the market in a small way
during the morning, but there was little doing
oi»ythe whole ana confidence In higher prices
war unshaken. I\>rt jvitlptK today were 43.000
against (2.000 last yrttr. According to reliable
reports from the Atlantic states very little
heneflt to the crop has resulted tn the nast
40 day*, fruitage having been of little conse
quence Improvement In the si*e of bolls Is
reported and According to some correspondents
the promt** of a very’ bountiful yield whlqh
was indicated some six weeks ago la complete
ly negative. But for the increased acreage the
prospects would be a sorry one and thia in
crease is estimated by seme as high as 25 p«r
cent in **ction* of . the Atlantic states. Ev
erything there now hinge* on frost, and if this
should occur witbin the next three weeks, much
will be added to the crop. .Mississippi advices
are most conflicting and we are led to the con
clusion that the situation is nothing than mofe
Indicative of n moderate yield. > * ; :
Murphy & Co.’fl Stock Letter.
NEW YORK. Oct. s.—This morning’s stock
market followed'closely in line with the weak
movement which, broadly speaking, has-pre
vailed throughout the week, that I* to say
it opened fairly flrm but It did not retain that
tendency for a considerable period. After the
opening scattered liquidation appeared and
price move* developed decided Irregularity.
Setins to be a disposition on the part of pro
fessional element of floor to cover short con
tra-da over Sunday and it was almost alto
gether to purchases of that nature that such
orvastonal advances as appeared were Jh>e.
The London market was qloaed today. Esti
mate* a* to the probable showing for the bank
statement varied very widely, but It seemed
to be common opinion that the rtatement for
the next month or ao would almost certainly
show continued decrease* In surplus reserve*.
The market was wanting entirely in particular
movements of Interest. The Anthracites were
comparstiveiy heavy on the threatening labor
situation in Pennsylvania and Amalgamated
Copper scored a further decline with- the
course of the morning Sugar was heavy and
the minor Industrial* were also generally
weak. The fairly active dealing* in the
t’nlted Btate* issues resulted In small price
change* Atchison and th* Wabash issues
were the comparatively Arm features of the
railway list. Nothing whatever that was novel
bearing on the market was comprised In this
morning's new* and the trading was governed
by the same general consideration which ha*
prevailed throughout the week and which Is
outlined above.

Grain and Provlsiona.
CHICAGO. Ort. 5.—A1l grain markets opened
dull ob the board, of trade today following the
usual precedent of closing up trade over Sun
day. December wheat opened %c to %c high
er. at 48%c to 48%c. on a better tone In cables.
There was a fair demand both local and out
side. but this was satisfied early. The small
pressure of the past few days seems to have
been removed and the crowd was less Inclined
to go short. December did not get away from
Its opening prices during the first hour. Local
receipts wars M cars, none of oontract grade;
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 848 cars,
making a total for the three points of *47
cars, against 1.044 last week and 780 a year
ago. Australian shipments this week were
384.000 bushels, compared with 74,0p0 last week.
Trade in corn was limited to a small de
mand by the short Interest. Offerings were fair
but not general.
Most of the early business was transacted
for the May account, though prices for both It
and December wheat went without change in
the first hour. December opened %c to %c up
on improved cables and good weather and
hovered around 56%c. Receipts were 253 cars.
There was only a small scalping trade tn oats
with December a shade lower at the opening.
The prices later were even with yesterday's
close. Receipts were 185 cars.
. Provision* were slack and prices slightly de
pressed on small liquidations. All January

R, G. Dun & Co.’s Review.
. R. G. Dun A Co.’s review says today:
I Trade channels are remarkably free from
obstruction, although the movement of goods
at some point* Is checked by insufficient trans
porting facilities. This Is a tribute to the un
usually heavv shipments which are shown
more definitely by railway earnings in Sep
tember— 9.2 per cent, larger than last year
and 16.7 per cent, above those of 1899.
Manufacturing is of such vigor that few
wheel* are idle, and further wage agreements
have reduced the number of strikers to a
frilntmum. MIM weather, yacht races and
Other temporary Influences curtailed the vol
ume of retail sales in this vicinity, but job
bing and wholesale concerns are preparing for
exceptional transaction*. Foreign trade is also
heavy.
Nothing new has developed tn regard to the
Iron and steel situation, and with the mills
crowded in their efforts to overtake consump
tive demand, there is little prospect of any
material change In the market for some time.
Contracts for an enormous quantity of steel
rails, deliverable next year at current quo
tations, Indicate the general confidence in the
stability of prices and the expansion of rail
way facilities required to meet the growing
needs of the country. Finished steel and pig
iron sale* are of satisfactory volume.
Steadiness is still the feature In textile mar
ket*. Seller* are not making any conces
sions In prices, and buyers do not force mat
ters. There was a tendency to hold back
the placing of new business, particularly In
the cotton goods division. This was attrib
uted to expectations of changes in the price
of raw material. Recent advanced quotations
are held, and exporters for China are unable
to secure even the small reduction a*ked.
New orders tor woolens are slow, but buy
ers complain of late delivery on old contract*.
This might result In cancellation* if the de
mand was not uniformly brisk and dealers
unable to secure goods elsewhere. Wool comes
forward freely and supplies are ample. A
slight advance to 17% was reported in the
average price of 100 grades on October 1, ac
cording to Coates Brother*’ circular.
Supplementary order* for winter footwear
made the situation rather more satisfactory
than producers anticipated, while jobbers are
unable to secure goods to fill orders. Hides
were violently advanced to the highest prices
of the year.
Staple products have declined moderately
as a rule, with the exception of cotton and
pork products. The variation was widest in
corn, a* might be expected, since that cereal
was Inflated much more than any other com
modity. Exports have Increased, but are still
small, for the week only 843.379 bushels going
out from Atlantic port*, against 2,144,610 bush
els test year and 2,992.232 in 1899.
Wheat was also easier, partially because of
conflicting estimates of foreign crops and
needs, while exports from the United States
were smaller than In the proceeding week, es
pecially as to flour shipments. There is still
a good showing In comparison with earlier
years, 4,623,440 bushel* going out, against
4,183,603 in 1900 and 4,364,645 two years ago.
The great else of the domestic wheat crop
this year Is indicated by interior receipts of
8,41L776 bushels, against 0,139,584 last year and
6,644. in In 1899.
Cotton was easier until the official report
appeared, when the new condition caused a
sharp advance.
Failure* this week number 206 in the United
States, against 308 last year, and 37 in Canada,
against 23 test year.
McCullough Bros.’ Fruit and Product
' Letter.
ATLANTA.' Ort. K—Produce nF every descrip
tion, also fruit, continues exceedingly high; in
fact, higher on all Items, with few exceptions,
than has been known for several years preced
ing.
The outlook for first class apples at prices
that wtll authorise a general consumption is
very gloomy. All receipts thus far have been
inferior, and have given poor satisfaction to
all parties connected with their handling.
Thus tar this maj- be applied also to the
fall and winter crop of Irish potatoes. New
York state has a fine crop, but they are almost
out of reach as to prices throughout this sec
tion of the country. Virginia Is now furnishing
the cabbage supply, but the crop has been
largely marketed already, and stock from that
section will prove an unsatisfactory commodi
ty both as to prices and quality during re
mainder of the season. No inconvenience will
arise for this reason, as Danntsh cabbage from
the east and west prevail in abundance and
will, as heretofore, be largely handled In this
section.
Onions remain high and the market small.
We look for a better quality of New York state,
also Qhlo and Michigan during the next few
weeks.
Demand for bananas is very strong with nom
inal price* prevailing.
Lemons are up 50c to 75c per box on all
grades at all points of importation.
No oranges in the market with the exception
of an occasional arrival of Jamaica fruit in
barrels. They are poor keepers and their hand
ling thus far has been unsatisfactory and un
profitable.
Cocoanut* have advanced 50c per 100 during
the present week; also cranberries and celery
are very active at high prices.
There is a better feeling on sweet pota
toes and the market is in good condition at
ss: to 60c per bushel.
Garden vegetables of every description are
going slow at low prices, with the exception
of tomatoes.
The market Is well supplied with New York
state grapes, and the quality, especially those
shipped by W. N. Wise, of Penn Yann, N. Y.,
and the Lake Keuka section, are the finest that
have ever been marketed in this section.
The cool weather prevailing has had a tell
ing effect on California peaches and the demand
has been badly crippled. Pears and Tokay
grapes continue to sell well at unusually high
price*.
The demand for live poultry has been very
strong for the last ten days; in fact, receipts
have been lighter than at any time during the
season. Shippers on poultry have been able
to negotiate everything on .straight sale at
high prices, therefore but little high grade
butter is selling at fancy prices.

MORMONS WAN I AID
FMIMM
A delegation of Mormons called on Gov
court Friday afternoon to answer • the
ask for assistance from the state In ap
prehending the whitecappers whom they
said had attacked Elders B. F. Stewart
and L. F. Zundel’ln Hart county a week
ago.
O. T. Shirley, of Bowersville, acted as
spokesman for the delegation and he said
that the Mormons in Hart county, com
prising about 30 law-abiding citizens,
wished Governor Candler to send a detec
tive into the county to obtain evidence
against the men who so severely whipped
the elders.
Shirley said that the elders were stop
ping at his house and he told of how they
were taken from the house into the woods,
where they were severely beaten with a
buggy trace and made to leave the coun
ty at once.’ - ’ »
Mr. Shirley stated that there were about
30 members of the Mormon church in the
county and that they were law-abiding
citizens. He said that they knew several
members of the mob, and had evidence
against them, but tha, the citizens of the
community wished the governor to send a
detective into the county to secure evi
dence. <;>■
Governor Candler Informed his visitors
that he could not assist them, but advised
them to secure a detective to gather evi
dence against the members of the mob
and then go before the grand jury and
secure Indictments. >
Governor Candler aasured the Hart
county citizens that K i they would se
cure indictments against the members of
the mob he would offer Vflwards for those
who could not be apprehended.'
Governor Candler expressed a deter
mination to go to the bottom of the trou
ble, but said that he had no authority to
undertake to ferret out the members of
the mob.
Soon after the assault was committed
upon the elders a letter was tvritten to
the governor by the members df the
church asking for protection, but the
governor having no authority was unable
to move in the matter. The people of the
county it is said are much aroused over
the situation and It is expected that the
members of the Mormbn church In that
vicinity will attempt to bring the mem
bers of the mob Into the criminal court.

CALLING FOB FUNDS
TO REBUILD HOME
TO PROCEED WITH REBUILDING
AS SOON AS DETAILS ARE
PERFECTED.
The Confederate Soldiers’ home will be
rebuilt at once.
No plan of rebuilding has yet been de
cided upon, but the special rebuilding*
committee will advertise immediately for
plans and specifications.
At the meeting of the board of trustees
this morning considerable progress was
made toward re-establishing the home,
and the work of making the preliminary
arrangements will begin at once. ;
Nine members of the board were pres
ent when president Calhoun called the
meeting to order in the library of the
state capitol.
This was more than enough for a quo
rum and the work before it was Imme
diately entered upon.
The most Important action was the
committee appointed with power to act
to decide upon the plan of rebuilding the
home and to accomplish the work as soon
as possible.
President Calhoun, of the board, was
also Instructed to frame, an address to
the people of Georgia asking for sub
scriptions to the rebuilding fund.
A unanimous vote of thanks was given
to The Journal for its aid to the vete
rans and also to the entire press of At
lanta and the state for bringing to the
attention of the public the needs of the
board of trustees in rebuilding the home.
The offer of The Journal to house the
old veterans in Thompson's hotel, on Ma
rietta street, was accepted for the month
of October and longer if necessary. A
committee was named to investigate oth
er sites and learn if there is any other
available place for the inmates of t*‘e
home.
PRESIDENT CALHOUN REPORTS.
uudge Calhoun aftei mentioning the
great calamity which had befallen the
home read his annual report from Oc
tober. 1900. to October, 1901. In it Judge
Catnoun embodied the story of the fire
and the great loss which was entailed by
it.
The legislature will be asked to appro
priate the insurance money which will J»e
secured on account ot the Are and placed
In the general fund of the treasury, to the
board for the purpose of rebuilding the
home.
It is not thought that there will be any
difficulty In getting an appropriation of
this amount, but as has been suggested,
if the board asks for a greater appropria
tion In view of the deficit which now ex
ists in the state treasury, the Soldiers'
home may suffer In consequence.
The report of Secretary Harrison was
read In the shape of the minutes of last
meeting. They were approved and
adopted.
Treasurer Fox reported on the finances.
It was found that there was 027,500 avail
able for the home now. This contemplates
the payment of the entire amount ot the
Insurance.
Complaints were made by the superin
tendent that there were about 12 men In
the home who were accustomed to drink
ing too much and some were also ‘given
to begging at the home and whenever
they appeared on the streets of Atlanta.
A rule of the regulations of the home
was amended so that this practice of beg
ging was positively prohibited.
With regard to the conduct of the men,
the regulations were so amended that the
superintendent was to report ahy breach
of the rules to the president. He should
have power to suspend or expel or other
wise punish according to the regulations.
If the inmates wlai» to appeal they could
do fio to a committee of investigation who
would look into the case, and decide upon
the best course to be pursued.
Up to the time of the Are the home was
found according to the reports of the offi
cers to be in a splendid condition.
After the disposition of the reports the
question of rebuilding was taken up.
DECIDED TO REBUILD.
A resolution by Judge Jenkins was pre
sented to the effect that the board of
trustees proceed to rebuild. A committee
was provided for to arrange the plan of
rebuilding. This committee was named by
President Calhoun as follows: Major W.
T. Gary, Judge W. F. Jenkins. Judge W.
H. Bell and Colonel'C. M. Wiley. Pres
ident Calhoun will act as chairman ot
this committee.
This committee is given discretion with
power to act regarding the entire rebuild
ing and reestablishment of the home.
This committee, it was decided will call
for plans and speclAcatlons at once. The
plan which will be adopted has not been
decided upon. Many of the members fa
vor the cottage plan for rebuilding the
home while some of them believe that the
one building plan Is the most practical.
This committee will decide the plan.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the meeting a meeting of the committee
was held. At this meeting It was decided
to ask for speclAcatlons.
Upon the motion of Mr. John Triplett,
of Thomasville, it was decided that the
board should send out an address to the
people of Georgia for subscriptions to the
rebuilding fund.
Mr. Triplett was named to assist Presi
dent Calhoun In preparing this address.
These two gentlemen are authorized to
sign the names of all the members of the
board to the address.
There was some discussion as to the
amount the board should ask for In the
address.
It was decided that every effort should
be made to raise as large an amount as
possible and the address will follow this
direction. In doing so the address will
state the number of inmates which are
expected In the home during the coming
years and will emphasize the fact, which
will also r be brought to the attention of
the general assembly, that all the money
placed In the home is only a temporary
Investment and In a few words, when the
veterans have disappeared the home with
all of Its property will revert to the state.
Major W. T. Gary, upon the resignation
of Major J. B. Cummings, of Augusta, as
president pro tern, of the board, was elect
ed to All the vacancy.
JOURNAL IS THANKED.
President Calhoun called the attention
of the board to prompt and gener
ous action of The Atlanta Journal In se
curing a home for the veterans imme
diately after the Are had destroyed the
o.u home, and stated that the hospitality
of The Journal had been accepted by the
officers in Atlanta for the month of Oc
tober.
Judge Calhoun stated that he was au
thorized to inform the board that The
Journal would house the veterans for
one, two or three months or longer just
as the board of trustees might need the
temporary home.
Major Gary said he thought that the
president should be requested to look for
quarters for the veterans and try to learn
if there is any place they can be cared
for without taking apparent undue ad
vantage of The Journal.
Fort McPherson was mentioned as a
probable suitable place. It was stated
that the Federal government might lend
quarters to the soldiers free of charge.
Judge Jenkins said that The Journal
was magnanimous in Its offer, and he
thought the present plan was the best
one. He said that he thought the hospi
tality of The Journal should be accepted
for October and then other arrangements
could be made, but he thought the pres
ent location was the best one.
A unanimous vote of thanks was then
extended, upon motion of Judge Bell, to
The Journal for what It had done In aid
ing the inmates of the home. Mr. Perry
then moved that the thanks of the board
be extended to the entire press of the
state for its generous action and assist
ance in bringing the needs of the home be
fore the public.

FIXING HOME PLANS
SO AS TO REBUILD
ARCHITECTS LOOK OVER THE
GROUND AND ARRANGE TO
SUBMIT DRAWINGS.
Architects and builders have begun to
investigate the site of the former soldiers'
home with the intention of preparing
plans and specifications for the new home
which the board of trustees have decided
to establish at once,
Prflbident Calhoun of the board, was
’visited Saturday by several local arch
itects asking his views on the kind of
buildings the rebulldng commttee desired.
President Calhoun told them of the, cot
tage plan, but was unable to say what
plan, would be Adopted V®. trustees.
He advised the architects* 7 to Visit the
grounds of the hotps and .spe vhatxpuld
be done with it.'
It is probable that whdn the competitive
plans are submitted there will be many
beautiful designs for the new home, and
some difficulty is expected In making a
choice of the best designs.
President Calhoun bought a large
amount of clothing which the vet
erans are In need of, and this will be sup
plied them at once.
One incident which has come to light
since the burning of the home has at
tracted much attention to Ab Lewis, an
old ante-bellum negro servant, who Is an
attache of the home. When the fire was
first discovered Ab ran to the room occu
pied by Veteran Murphy, who is one of
the most serloliSly afflicted Inmate? of the
home.
The old negro took Mr. Murphy in his
arms and carried him down stairs and out
of the burning building without assist
ance. It is said that Mr. Murphy would
probably have perished had it n>t been
for the old negro who did such good ser
vice. The two were scarcely out of the
building before the roof fell in.
ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC
BY PRESIDENT CALHOUN.
In pursuance to a resolution adopted at
the meeting of the board of trustee s of the
Georgia Soldiers’ Home Friday Presi
dent Calhoun of the board and Hon. John
Triplett, a member of the board, have
prepared an address to the ptople of
Georgia, thanking them for past favors
extended the old veterans, and recuesting
further assistance, since the great calam
ity of last Monday.
The press of the state is requested to
copy the address, and assist as far as
possible In’ placing it before the people.
The address is as follows: j . .
‘‘The board of -trustees of the Soldiers’
Home of Georgia beg to return thanks to
the people of Georgia for their reqdy and
generous responses in the work of re
building the Soldiers’ home. With our In
surance, amounting to 021,500, and the
contributions already reported, a e have
as available assets for rebuilding about
025,000. This kmount falls short of the
sum which will be necessary to rebuild
the home. The people of Georgia from the
inception of the home by the la|mented
Grady have shown an interest in the
home for indigent Confederate floldlers.
We feel sure that this interest has not
lessened, but that with the lapse pf time
it has been Increased rather than dimin
ished. The burning of the home, furnish
ed by the generous contributions, of the
people of Georgia, has appealed to all
classes. From every section of th|e state
have come contributions. The beard of
trustees confidently appeal to the gener
osity of the people of Georgia. They need
funds with which to rebuild a home for
the Indigent soldiers of the lost cause.
It will require about 040.000 to put these
old soldiers Ip comfortable circumstances.
We appeal to the people in behalf of these
wards of the state. They are men who
responded to the call of duty when the
state needed their services and we feel
sure that Georgians will respond now
that they are homeless. ■ Let every city,
town, village and hamlet respond to this
call. Whatever Is given should be
promptly reported. It is our purpose to
rebuild the home at the earliest •possible

MR. ROOSEVELT, THE WRITER.
New York Times.
For a man not yet 43 the output of
Theodore Roosevelt as a writer is large.
He is barely 20 years out of college, and
of these he has spent 16 in active and
laborious public service. A man who has
been a member of the legislature, civil
service commissioner,-president of the po
lice board of New York, assistant secre
tary of the navy, a lieutenant colonel in
active service, governor of the state of
New York, vice president and president
of the United States, all within a score of
years, is hardly to be expected to have ac
quired much "literary baggage.” But in
that period Mr. Roosevelt has published
a half dozen serious worts In history and
In biography, three original works on
hunting and ranch life and a consider
able number of essays, some of them of
an extremely careful and permamently
valuable character.
' Had he done nothing but write his fas
cinating hunting books—and lived through
the experiences they relate in so simple
and winning style—he would probably be
more widely known in other lands than
any other American save one or two. Had
he not obscured his reputation as a his
torian by his industry’ in making history
he would have a distinct place In the
circle ,of American writers In -that field.
It remains true, however, that If his life
had been less full and active his literary
work would In all probability have had
less value and the value would have been
lees peculiar.
