however the crop is somewhat improved,
and willjrield a fair average. Over

[ Hubbard's Cotton Letter.-What
Said of the Status of the
Cotton Market and
the Crop.
-
! New York, Sept. 27.-There is i
j change in despondent tone arnot
j the cotton trade, who faii to discov
j factor to- arrest the decline io ti
I value of the staple either in the i
ceipts or the advices from foreif
j markets The decline in Liverpo
is but hardly equal to the weakne
on this side of the Atlantic, as spi
ners have made so many contrac
for the delivery of yarns that thi
are free buyers, as the market d
clines, of raw material for their spi
dies. A moderate -investment d
mand is not yet of sufficient propo
j Hons to absorb the offerings from tl
sooth, although this demand mast I
of increasing proportions, as prie
decline below any known record f<
two generations. The trade, hov
ever, consider that prices are not lo
enough if the south has raised anoth<
mammoth crop and are looking for
cents in New York during Octobe
New York, Sept. 27.- The cottc
market showed considerable irreg1
Iarity, opening at about last night
! prices, then easing off to the lowe
point of yesterday, but subsequent!
! making a sharp np turn Tradin
started off quite tame but improve
as the market progressed, showin
! old time activity pretty much all tl
afternoon Officially the opening W?
8teady_at unchanged prices to 2 poin
lower At the best a gain of 7 to
points was apparent, with close vei
steady at a net advance of 4 to
points Among the factors wbic
depressed the forenoon market wei
exceptionally heavy port and intent
receipts, good weather over the et
tire belt, and disappointing nev?
from the Liverpool markets. As a
offset to this array of bear influencei
however, were buying from abroat
light investment demand from on
siders and a growing belief thi
the recent decline had developed a
extremely large short interest. Aft?
declining, to a net loss of two t
three points, a steadier feelin
developed, and by midday price
were back to the final figures c
yesterday. Shortly after 1 oVioc
the weekly weather report was re
ceived by telegraph from Washing
ton Its showing was far from satii
factory to the bear crowds. A j um
of 5 to 6 points followed and througl
out the rest of the afternoon short
were nervous and easily frightene
to cover. An advance of I 16 pe
cent in the local spot market adde*
* somewhat to the ability of the lat

COUNT y EXECUTIVE COM?
MITTEE.
Meeting Held Today to Arrange
for Primary Election.
The County Democratic Executive Com?
mittee met at 10 o'clock this morning to
arrange for the epecial primary on October
11th to nominate a Senator.
lt waB agreed that the managers should be
divided, wherever possible, equally between
Manning and Moses men.
A resolution was offered by Maj. Moise pro?
viding that the committee shall furnish tick?
ets with only one name printed on each, that
?9 separate tickets for Manning and Moses, so
that there may be no confusion resulting from
scratching. 'Candidates are not prohibited
from furnishing their own tickets, nor is
there any intention to throw out written
tickets.
A resolution was adopted requiring negroes
tc comply with all rules and regulations re?
quired by the party in order to vote.
Col. Scarborough offered a resolution "that
io the further proceedings of the committee
tbe roles and regulations of the party shall
be strictly adhered to "
The resolution was objected to and was
finally voted down.
A resolution wag adopted that "Witoes-es,
jurors aod parties to causes io attendance at
court shall be permitted to vote in a box pro?
vided by the clerk of coart, who eball ad?
minister an oath prescribed by the chairman
of the committee, keep a full list of the votes
and make a certified return to the county
executive committee "
Mejor Moise mo?ed "That no convict or
inmate of the Poor House be permitted to
vote in the primary." After discussion it
was tabled.
Col. Scarborough moved that the inmates
of the Poor House and Joe Levan be per?
mitted to vote.
Objection was made to permitting one
negro democrat to vote by special resolution,
and the motton was finally adopted after Joe
Levao's usmc had bean stricken out.
The managers for the several precincts were
appointed and the committee adjourned.
For the Suffering Cubans.
WaehiogtOD, Sept. 25 -A statement
was issued by the war department to?
night that tbe Cuban commission bad
effected an arrangement with tbe Span?
ish authorities whereby the steamer
Comal, carrying a cargo of supplies for
the suffering people in Cuba, would be
permitted to land her cargo at Matan?
zas free of duty. Thin is tbe test of
the war department's statement :
"The Comal has been ordered to
sail for Matanzas, where her storea will
be distributed under the direction of a
commission to be agreed upon by the
commissioners of evacuation."
This indicates the adjustment of a
question that promised for several days
to become serious. The Spanish au?
thorities, still maintaining Spain's
right of sovereignty over the island of
Cuba, refused to permit the Comal to
land at Havana without the imposition
upon ber cargo of duties amounting to
$60.000. In addition to this the ve,s
eel's oaptain was fined for disregarding
some port regulations unknown to him.
Tbe vessel is now at Key West, and
will sail for Matanzas probably to-night
or to morrow.
A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle o?
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunv
Hon and Rations to the Front Saved
the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train, No. 3, writing
from Santiago, de Cuba, on July 23d, says:
"We ail had diarrh?e* in more or less vio?
lent form, and when we landed we had no
time to see a doctor, for it was a case ol
rush and rush night and day to keep the
troops supplied with ammunition and ra*
tions, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoe i Remedy, we were able
to ke*p at work and keep our health, in feet,
I sincerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour of out
army, for if the pacKers had been unable tc
work there would have been no way of get?
ting supplies to the front. There were no
roads that a wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself bad the good fortune to
?av in a supply of this medicine for our pack
train before we left Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."
The above letter waa written to the manu?
facturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain
"edicioe Co., De? Moines, Iowa. For sale
