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*.

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.

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. .

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. ATLANTA MARKETS. Cotton.

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.

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.

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.

Ala., Oct. 4th.-The Democratic state campaign for the rati fication of the new constitution will be opened ip earnest on Monday next. There have been a number of speeches pro and con delivered at various points already, but the ratification campaign starts regu larly next Monday. The following speak ers are billed to deliver addresses that day: At Athens, Hon. John B. Knox, pres ident of the constitutional convention; at Evergreen, Hon. Thomas H. Watts, of Montgomery; at Tuscaloosa, Congressman Sidney J. Bowie; at Florence. Dr. R. M. Cunningham, of Jefferson. The speakers billed for that day are all powers in. tbs Democratic party. On the same day the anti-ratification ists will commence to assail the breast works of their opponents In this city. Former Congressman Jesse Stallings, of the Second Alabama District, who is one of the opposition leaders, will speak In this city Monday night and former Con gressman William H. Denson will be heard on the same occasion. Senator Pettus has already spoken for ratification and is billed for a second speech in the city of Huntsville on October 15th. By the middle of next week every nook and corner of Alabama will have been invaded by the speakers and the campaign will have waxed warm. It still remains, at is has for some time, that rat ification is gaining ground in all sections where it was weak and is waxing strong er tn those section where there was al ready a sentiment in Its favor. Thera seems at this writing no doubt that the new constitution will be ratified. 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.
