Captain S. 'O. Moore, of brier" Shannon, writes
to the Hoi man Liver Pad company:
Gentlemen - I left here in October. 1STS. on the
Shannon, with a cargo of lumber and a crew
of eight men, for Havana. We stajed in that port
thirty flays, while yellow fever was at its height,
nnd all shipping interests were suffering largely,
end crippled on account of the fever. We all used
the Hi >1 man Pud as a preventive, but one man, and
nil escaped the fever but him, and I havelno doubt
ho would also have escaped it had he worn one.

PiTEKT.STElMiND HYDRAULIC
SIX-CYZiINDEH
Cotton Compress,
MANUFACTURED ONLY BY
the pusey&jgnes company
Wilmington, Delaware.
Having, after long and careful study and great
expense, succeeded in perfecting the above re-
ferred to machine, we offer it now to the public as
the most powerful, safe and expeditious compress
in use.
Wholly of metal, reducing its risk of destruction
much in case of fire, and working with scarcely any
friction, its movements are smooth and noiseless;
and as tnc whole power is directly applied to the
bale without intervention of levers, cosr gearing or
other devices common to other forms of com-
presses, its work is performed at less cost of fuel
per bale than any press in use.
When used in combination with Riesel's Bale
Ejector, which discharges the pressed bale as soon

General Market Quiet—Spot Cotton
Steady—Futures Olosed Dull at
Liverpool, and Steady in American
Markets,
News Office. October 3.—Business ruled quiet
to-day and witnout chansre in quotations. There is
no bacon in first hands at present, while prices are
without quotable change. Eggs and vegetables are
dull, with an unsatisfactory business reported in
these lines, the warm weather at present being de-
cidedly hard on all classes of vegetables, green
fruits, eggs, etc., and profits being fairly offset by
loss from spoiled goods. Groceries are steady, with
a moderately fair trade doing. Grain continues in
fair to good demand and steady, while In other
articles there are no features of interest to note.
AtNewYoric, coffee favors buyers, and it is
stated that it can be brought from Havre at a pro
fit. Hard sugars are quoted at 9c. and standard A
at 8.31 @8%c. Wool is less active, with free offer
ings of Texas at last week's prices.
At Kansas City, there was an overstock of grass
Texan cattle, and the market was slow and 10@15c
lower, with the bulk of sales at s3 25@3 50. Wheat
opened active and closed firm at about yesterday's
figures. Corn was lower for cash, with light trad
ing. Oats were dull, with nothing doing. Flour
was quiet but steady; butter firm, bacon steady,
and apples firm and active.
At St. Louis, wheat was bullish, but light busi
ness served to keep fluctuations within a limited
range, and before the close price3 became
weak, declined, closing Irregular and unsettled at
about the opening figures. The visible supply re-
port is expected to show a heavy increase in wheat
and corn. Corn was strong early in the day, but
the closing was weak. Provisions were in good de-
mand.
At Chicago wheat opened with a stronger feeling,
and prices averaged higher, but closed unsettled
with most of the advance lost. Corn was active
and fluctuated considerably within a small range,
closing about the same as yesterday to v£c higher.
Only a moderate business was done in provisions.
Outside advices were not favorable, aud prices
were without material change. The cattle market
was moderately active, with sales of Texans
$3 90®4 go.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH,
Money—Stocks—Bonds.
Xf.w York, October 3.—Governments weak. The
4Lis and 4s were J^c lower on the bidding prices.
Railways declined in sympathy with the weakness
in shares speculation." West Shore firsts down to
74. State securities dull. Arkansas and Red river
issues brought 13. This was bear day at the Stock
exchange. In the early trading there was an im-
portant decline, followed by a slight rally. In the
afternoon prices fell off rapidly, and the lowest
figures for sometime for many shares were cur-
rent. Northern Pacific declined 1*4 per cent, to
3l3jf: preferred 3 to 00l4; Oregon Transcontinental
3^j to 49*£, the lowest figure ever touched: North
west 1*3 to 123; preferred 1 to 143; Omaha21v to30^
preferred 2J4 to 97^, and St Paul yfcto 101. In
other active shares'the decline ranged from K» to
1«V& per cent.. Kansas and Texas and Texas Pacific
suffering most; the market generally closed at the
lowest point of the day. The weakness was cred-
ited to manipulation by the bear syndicate, which
is a strong one. aud to the absence of supporting
orders. The bre:-k iu Omaha is due to reports that
the company will issue new stock to cover new-
mileage. It is stated the sharp decline in
Oregon Transcontinental wa« occasioned
by a forced sale of a round amount of
stock. The bears also reported tlie Gould
part y had joined their ranks and pointed to de-
cline in Kansas and Texas and Texas and Pacific
as evidence, in specialties St. I^ouis an 1 Pitts
burgh preferred dropped 2 per cent, to 45, Houston
and Texas 4 to '8. Memphis and Charleston 2 to 40.

sissippi 2V4 to 29}*», Oregon Navigation *.to 133V*
Peorin, Decatur and Evansville to 13. Pullmar,
Palace l to 138, and Richmond and Danville VVi to
50. Alton and Terre Haute preferred sold at 81. de-
cline 11^9 per cent. Compared with last previously
reported sale before to-day stock opened
at 85. This morning Western Union was
well sustained until near the close when
it touched 79J/6, the lowest of the <1
St'.ck opened at S06&803£ and ranged between
80^4®8OV4. Through the greater part of the day.
rumors of fresh irou failures were freely used by
bears against tne share list. Bears also circulated
a report that the Pennsylvania company has de
cided to resume the practice of paying a com mis
sion to ticket agents, which it was claimed was
almost equivalent to a notice that rates will not be
maintained in the future. There was 110 lack of
other rumors to aid the decline in prices. The

CHICAGO PROVISON KARXST*
Chicago, October 1.—In provision circles on the
Board of Trade last week was an unsettled one.
Trading general!*; unsatlsfaM », , f.jrgo pur-
chases were made on t*i— la>t ilavs of the
month in pork aud a whirl was locked for
Saturday, but did not materialize. Trad-
ing was fairly active iu the market for mess
pork during the week, the feeling was
uneasy and prices fluctuated considerably. The
shipping demaud was quite active and sales were
larger than for some time past. Speculative mui*
ing centered in contracts f«>r October and
January delivery. Early the feeling was
inclined pi weakness and prices gradually
receded 011 the whole range, but toward
Lh»> close tbe l'eelir.g was stronger and prices
rallied so that the loss was nearly all regained. The
receipts from the iuteflor were fair while the ship-
ments were materially increased. The stock on
hand is*stimated at 112.qj0 barrels. Other cuts of
iork were in li*ht request and lower. Saturday
jeing the last day of the month a larjre share
of the business comprised changes of
October options forward and caused a
special weakness for the time, but at the close
there was a decided change in sentiment, particu-
larly as to October pork and ribs, for they are un-
doubtedly under Armour's thumb. The light or-
ders for pork inspection show that deliveries will
not be excessive, while packers state that KinK
Philip has transferred their stock to his own
houses. The effort to depress the October option
at the close was for the purpose of buying, and
leading operators are predicting a higher range of
prices, with great activity.
Packing operations here during last week were
only moderately active, some 44,000 hogs falling
into the packers' hands, and the few houses running
have only been on part time, simply because the
offerings of hogs would not admit of full time. The
manufacture has beeu mostly of lard and meats.
For some tftne past the hogs coming to this market
were largely blj. heavy grades, and packers have
been generally obliged to pay more for their hogs
than they could get for their product.
a considerable proportion of the heavy
sides have been thrown into tiie lard tanks,
which has swelled the production of the latter to
relatively large proportions. The production of
export meats has been limited because packers
could not obtain suitable grades or hogs. At all the
points the records show that packing has increased
steadily over last season, so that we are now 400,000
head ahead of 1882. The scarcity of light-weight
hogs, averaging 3a) pounds downward, is a marked
feature.
Cabled advices are to the effect that stocks of
provisions are small on the other side, and there
is considerable anxiety manifested as to whether it
is not about time to lay in supplies. Manufacturers
are not particularly auxious sellers at current quo-
tations. a noticeable feature is the tendency to
greater firmness in spot stuff, and it is generally

surmised that the cash product here is pretty
concentrated in a few strong houses.
The South is rather a tree buyer at present of
sides, while the East and Europe are taking quite
freely of both refined and prime steam.lard. The
demand for pork is net what it ought to be at this
season.
a good business was transacted in lard during
last week, but at an irregular range of prices. The
offerings were somewhat liberal early, and prices
receded. Later the market became stronger un-
der the influence of good inquiry and prices rallied
a little with steadiness. Speculative trading was
mostly in October. November and January de
lievery. There is not much chance for manipula-
tion in lard at present. 1 he Liverpool crowd re-
presented by Warren «£ Geddey have the October
option cornered, but at the "close of the month
i September) they changed forward considerable
quantities and paid for a large proportion, hence
no fear is now entertained that any squeeze will
occur this month. The movement and manufac-
ture during the past week show a decrease iu the
supply of 6000 tierces, making the stock on hand
30,0 o'tierces. Tbe shipments of lard during last
week were 2,000,000 pounds greater than the cor-
responding week of the past two years, but for the
eleven ni n ths ending September 39 the shipments
are 7,000,000 pounds short of last year.

At the French lottery offices it used to be a
custom to keep a separate register of the lucky
numbers which had been suggested by dreams,
they were so numerous and so remarkable.
Never did a day pass without adding to the
wonderful record, and faith in dreams grew io
consequence even more rapidly than the list did
in the register. It was so inKngland while the
lotteries existed, and is so aoroad where they
still exist.
