No. I have Ittil© faith In the future of
the Panama canal. Personally. I believe
the great ditch can never be finished for
lef*s than $300,000.0m more. No one can have
an adequate Idea until he has seen It
thoroughly what a stupendous problem the
canal Is. with Its controllng of the Fila
gree. the rating away of the Culebra
mountain (ov©r l.fitif) feet high) and th©
checking of inflow* of mud Into the arti
ficial harbor where th© western mouth of
Ihe canal Is to be. No engineer down there
believe* that It will ever be finished M.
Mange has never talked heartily to m© on
th© subject of finishing Ih© canal work*
and I j*©© that the m©n in charge of the
work wonder what day they will have or
ders from Paris to quit work. For six
months It has seemed to nw . the work on
Oh* canal had progressed with two things
In view—on© to have th© Colombian gov
ernment assures! that ih© concession was
being kept In god faith, are) the other to
show th© company’s inspectors and exam
iners from Paris that th© money wan br
ing economically and wisely spent In th©
canal construction. Not on© of the en
gineers on the canal ever spoke to me san*

shoulder* and looked pictures of Ignorance
whenever I asked them If they believer

IV THE. I,AMI OF THE OPAL.
Trsi rlrn Met nt the Train* by Peon*
Offe-rliix the Items f..r Kale.
From the New York Mall and Express.
Speaking about opals," remarkeel a
well-known Insurance man of the borough
of Brooklyn, allhough not a wore! had
been said about opals, "a friend of mine,
one of Ihe Storey hoys, of Baldwins, L. 1.,
has Just returned fr-_m a trip through
Mexico with a ealchelful of the Jewels.
I've been through tha; miserable country
myself, and while Ihe peona around quer
etaro are a laxy lot and ai>pnrently 100
poor fo buy a square meal, yet I've seen
them dig down Into the pockets of Ihelr
ecru-colored linen trousers and bring out
m handful of bright sclemlltailng stones
which were worth anywhere from £5 cent*
lo 823 apiece.
"queretam is one of the moat Interest
ing cities In old Mexico At one lime It
was eiutir all Important place, but Just at
present It has fallen from lt high estate
and Its Inhabitants de|>end almost entirely
U|H>n Ihe products of the opa! mines for a
living. There are house** enough In the
city to accommodate Uat.ouu people eom
fortiilgy. hut 1 doubt if a census would
show much more than a quarter of that
numlser of rwWefltl.
"Just back of the city Is Hill of the
Bells, on ihe gently sloping side of which
ate three plain granite slabs stuck upright
111 the ground. These three atones maik
Ihe -pots In which Maximilian and two of
his guerilla were ext-cuted, after the Re
publicans had driven Ihe French army out
of the country and defeated the ini.a-ii.ii
forces.
"As the train steams up to the station
It Is surrounded hy e rowels of poorly
dressed persons and merchunts. In some
what better unite. Every blessed one of
tlmti has anywhere Hem a half dozen lo
a bagful of otaLs lo ta.ll. They ctow.i
around the people alighting from the cars
with Importunities lo buy pretty much af
ter toe fashion In which the Yankee cab
man insists that you ride In hts vehicle.
"You can buy a small. Imperfect stone
for as little as 25 cents, and a really tine
oped. we.l cut and filled with flashing lire,
may be had for floor 115. But If you wish
to get really good stoma It I* best to go to
a reliable dealer up In the city There urc
any number of them there, and In a.most
any shop there Is a large assortment from
which 'O select.
"The people down there ate not troubled
by belief in the euperstltlon that opal* are
unlucky. On the contrary, opals are the
best of luck for them. If It wasn't for Ihe
opal mines the people In that particular
scceion of Mexico would be in danger of
going without breakfast, dinner or eupper
ir.sny a day.
"Now, Jet me ask you In all serlous
nes*. do you think that a satchelful of
cpala In the village will queer the Haiti
wins ball club In the contest for the South
Side pennant! Not If we give the opals
to ihe players, eh! Well, I'll suggest that
to my friend Storey."

Th< < lo*. of the cotton year under
the mint uuriMcioua circumatance*. YVhtle

"hows n decreaae for this year, a* com
pared with last. II i* neverlhele** true
that the ahowlnc aurparnes all others In
the per cent, of Increase. The ahortnice
tn thla year's crop, which la estimated
to be anywhere from 9.100,0 t to 9.500.000
baler, attain*! 11.189,200 la*4 year, accounts
for the volume nhowln* up lena than that
of laat year. Last year's movement of
cotton was the larseit In the htatory of
American commerce. The trade wa gen
erally satisfied with the season's show
ing. and feel sure It will compare fav
orably with that of any other eotion-re
celvln* port. The sales of cotton for
Ihe season just closed were 83.5*2 bales,
which does not Include the large f. o. b,
business transacted. I'or the week end
ing to-day the sales were 1.372 bales.
The bank clearings for the week show
an Increase over the same week last
year of about a half-million dollars. The
clearings were *2.8*7.943.A5. against 12.351.-
795.51 for the corresponding week lasi
year.
General attention Is being attracted to
Ihe downward tendency In the turpentine
market, which has dropped far below the
point It was exi—cted Ii would go. Much
conjecture Is going the rounds, and the
tenor of the talk la that the market has
not yet reached bottom. That ihls belief
Is fairly well-founded npi—ars from the
fart declines have followed closely, and
conditions do not seem to have Improved,
so far ns support for Ihe market Is con
cerned.
The hope was expressed on ln*4 Friday
that the price would probably not go
much below 36c, ul which the market
seemed tlrm. The downward tendency so
firmly established, however, ho* had the
effect of causing buyers to hesitate about
entering the market, and this backward
ness on thetr part, together with the light
domestic demand, has helped to send the
price lower. With the object of giving
the present tendency full sweep, domestic
consumers have for several days past
been supplying only their urgent need*,
helping a* little as possible to contribute
to a recuperative demand. Exporters also
steered shy of Ihe market, nr.d on two
days of the week were not to he aeen on
the street at all. It will be seen, there
for. that market conditions were helped
largely In depressing prices by the con
stant hammering of buyers.
Tn* main hope for a rally is In the pros
pective demand from domestic sources. If
this springs up It will enable factors to
dispose of any accumulation*, and there
by Impart strength to the situation.
Without a dem.tisl from this or some
other source It Is very probahle other de
clines will follow, and that the losses will
go far beyond present expectations. In
discussing the situation factors arc free
to say they believe a demand and not a
lessening In the receipts will be the force
to check <he decline.
This August has been one of the ipost
remarkaKe 1 nthe history of the trade,
the weather having been admirable for
harvesting True, operators have been
handicapped by a lack of farm labor, hut
still receipts run far beyond expectations.
There doe* not seem to be any Improve
ment In condition* to-day. The price I*
34’,'* bid and XV asked The market Is
quiet, hut firm. Factor* believe the price
Is low enough, but they have a tight be
fore them to convince buyers of this.
Until they do the demand may continue
on the "hand-eo-mouth" order.
The same story applies to the rosin mar
ket for 4he week a declining tendency
and small demand. The market showed
some strength during th* early days, but
Inter there were declines, which have been
followed by others, causing the closing to
be under last week * closing Factor*
were slow to make concessions, and In
some case* did not do so except when
they hod the privilege of disposing of a
round lot a* one time. Otherwise they
held firmly.
The following resume of the different
markets will show the tone and quota
tions at the closing to-day:
COTTON.
The coftdn market closed quiet and un
ohanxed to-day with a moderate business
reported It was the .Wins of the official
y.nr, and the trade was considerably In-
Irrested In the showing Savanrah made
In her Increase of receipts. As compared
with last year, the receipts are off. title
to the smaller crop. Hut presuming the
crop will turn out to he 9.250,0fX> hales, the
port will show a fine gain over last year.
What business was done during the day
was on a basis of about Wrc to 9 7-16 c for

New York. Aug. 31.—The cotton market
opened 185 point* higher on strong ca
ble*. but ruled exceptionally quiet with
subsequent variation* generally confined
to a narrow range The exception was
September. which inherited eperlsl
strength from the August deal and ad
vanced It points, subsequently losing three
points of this gnin. The undertone of
the general market was weak, owing to
n high average of crop news, and an ai
mevt entire absence of public speculation.
Most of the local contingents hod al

COTTON LETTERS.
New York. Aug. 31.—Murphy A Cos. say :
Cotton advice* from Liverpool, particu
larly for near positions, wsre quite fav
orable this morning, and coupled with
buying opiers from that quarter, caused
quite a sharp ndvonce here In the early
momhe. Some slight rains were had In
(he Carolina* and Memphis districts.
After Ihe flrsi half hour the market be
came very dull There Is not much dis
position to make new engagements pend-
Ing the holidays Allhough we believe
the recent rains have benefited the crop,
the fear of the weekly bureau report on
