The smallest one-day receipts of cot ton since the season fairly opened, were posted at the Produce Exchange yesterday only 876 bales. Receipts are October 12th last year were 2,450 bales, and the remarkably low figures for yesterday are explainable .either from the fact that farmers are holding for better prices or that the crop, which is unprecedentedly forward this year, has about all been gathered and sold. Certain it -is that Wilming ton has no reason to believe that competitive ports have encroached upon its territory and are scooping up the stock that properly belongs here. The price continues firm at 7J cents for middling. I 'Arioso dermis: Gab.

CHAMBER COMMERCE. The Adjourned Monthly Meet ing Was Held Yesterday Afternoon. NEW MEETING PLACE CHOSEN Other Commercial Bodies Asked to Join ia the Erection of a New Bnildiog New Map of River and Bar Repre sentatives to Philadelphia. The monthly meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce, adjourned from Thursday of last week, was held yester day afternoon at the rooms of the Chamber in the MacRae building. President W. E. Worth presided, and Mr. T. W. Clawson, of the Stab, was requested to act as secretary in the absence of Secretary John L. Cant well. President Worth read a communica tion from the Philadelphia Commer cial Museum, notifying the Chamber that the National Export Exposition would be held in that city from Sep tember 14th to November 30th, and bespeaking interest in the same. The letter says of the exposition: "The best products of American industry and skill are here brought together and 20,000 foreign buyers have been invited to inspect them." President Worth also read a com munication from the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, giving notice that the third General International Commercial Congress would be held October 12th to November 1st, in the grand auditorium of the National Ex port Exposition, and requesting that the Chamber of Commerce send rep resentatives. The communication states that all the leading commercial organizations in America and three hundred Chambers of Commerce in foreign countries will send delegates, and says: "The assemblage of so many foreign trade experts led to the idea of showing them, in epitome, the best products of American industry and skill." The secretary of the Museum wrote that invitations had been sent to Col. Jno. L. Cantwell, Mr. D. L. Gore and Col. Walker Tay lor, representatives of this Chamber on the advisory board, to attend the Congress, and requested that if they could not attend other delegates be sent. President Worth, referring to the export exposition, said he recently visited the exposition and that it was one of the best of the kind he had ever seen. On motion, the President was authorized to appoint delegates if those named could not go. He appointed Col. F. W. Kerchner a delegate and stated that he would attend himself from October 28th to November 5th. A communication was read from the Board of Trade of Jacksonville, Fla., expressing abhorrence of the Dreyfus trial and sympathy for. Captain and Madame Dreyfus, and requesting, in view of the unjust conviction of Drey fus, that all commercial bodies unite in a petition to the Congress of the United States to withdraw its appro priation to the Paris exposition. Messrs. Sam Bear, Jr. and D. L, Gore, expressed sympathy with Capt. Dreyfus, but thought it would be un wise to ask Congress to take the ac tion suggested. The matter was laid on the table. Mr. Thos. F. Bagley, of the com mittee appointed with reference to the park proposed by Mr. John Knight, the landscape gardener, reported that the Delgado Cotton Mills are being erected on the grounds proposed for the park and asked that the committee be discharged. It was so ordered. President Worth said it was neces sary to have some' new maps of the river and bar made, as the map gotten up three years ago marked the mini mum depth of water in the Cape Fear at 21 feet and that on the bar at 22 i feet, whereas the least depth of the river channel is now 22 feet and that of the bar 24 1 feet, the depth having been increased. The Chamber or dered 1,000 new maps to be printed. The president informed the Chamber that a great many valuable books were arriving for the body, and that' it had become necessary to have some place where they could be kept for reference. He stated that a committee had been appointed to confer with the Mer chants' Association about the joint use of its rooms in the Seaboard Air Line building, and called for the commit tee's report. The report was read. It was to the effect that the Merchants' Association would allow the Chamber to use its rooms for a rental of $50 a year, without extra charge for lights, fuel and janitor. On motion the pro position was accepted. Mr. Sam Bear, Jr., suggested that a committee be appointed to confer with the Produce Exchange, the Merchants' Association and the Tariff Association with reference to the joint erection of a building. President Worth, Vice President M. W. Jacobi, CoL Walker Taylor, Col. F. W. Kerchner, Mr. W. E. Springer and Mr. D. L. Gore con curred in the suggestion and discussed the matter. It was decided to take up the matter at some future meeting, after the sense of the members of the other organizations shall have been ascertained. President Worth suggested that the railroads be petitioned to place Wil mington in the list of Winter resorts entitled to return trip fare, and after discussion the transportation com mittee was instructed .to confer with the railroad authorities and urge this matter. On motion, the Chamber adjourned to meet on the first Thursday in No vember in its new quarters in the rooms of the Merchants' Association. COUNTY SCHOOL DIRECTORS. Held October Meeting Yesterday Only Routine Matters Were Considered. The School Openings. Chiefly routine matters were con sidered by the County Board of School Directors at its October meeting which was held yesterday afternoon at the office of the Superintendent. Col. W. A. Johnson, the chairman, presided and Capt Ed. Wilson Man ning was secretary. Mr. W. EL Sprunt and Capt Donald MacRae, the other members of the board, were also present Bills for current expenses were audit ed as was also the monthly statement of County Treasurer H. McL. Green. Col. Johnson reported that Judge Battle had written that upon the con vening of the next term of New Han over Criminal Court he would order the payment into the school fund of the amount of the defaulted bonds of the three pick pockets. This amount ($600) less small court costs and at torney's fees, is now in the hands of the clerk of the court and was tem porarily held up, it will be remem bered, awaiting instructions as to whether or not Capt. Galloway of Goldsboro should be reimbursed out of the amount for the sum stolen from him by the pickpockets, who de faulted their bonds before they would appear in court to answer the charge, the story of which is familiar to Star readers. It would appear from this notification by Judge Battle that Capt Galloway will not recover from the fund the $30 which was the amount stolen from him. In this connection it is interesting to note that Capt. Manning has now received news from most all the schools in the various districts and there is nothing in these reports to qualify former assertions that New Hanover people were never more alive to the necessity of a sound and thorough public school system than now. The white school at Masonboro has 36 pupils ; at Castle Hayne they have 23 and at Wrightsville the ses sion opened with 27. Capt Manning expects to day to visit the Masonboro and Myrtle Grove schools and will ex tend his trip down to District No. 8, in Federal Point township, where for some reason no teacher had been selected and the school was not opened last Monday with the others. Miss Irene Bass, of Warsaw, has now been selected and it is probable that she will arrive this week in time to open the school Monday. CAPTAIN DEEMS IN THE PHILIPPINES. How He Captured Twenty-nine Filipinos and $43,000 In Sold Well Remem bered in Wilmington. Captain Clarence Deems was last year commandant at Fort Caswell until he left here with Battery I, of the Fourth Artillery, for Porto Rico, and thence went with his battery to the Philip pines, lie is well remembered in W H- mington and the following concerning him, from yesterday's Baltimore Sun, will be read with interest: "CoL James M. Deems, Hollins street near Fremont has received a copy of the Insular News, a newspaper published at Manila, containing an ac count of an exploit of his son Capt Clarence Deems, of the Fourth Artil lery, who captured twenty-nine Fili pinos and $43,000 in gold last August "The money had been collected by the natives from Manila merchants and was intended for Aguinaldo's use. The United States military authorities learned of the mission and location of the men, and Captain Deems was de tailed for the capture. He had a dozen or so soldiers stationed in the neighborhood, so as not to excite sus picion, and .then, followed by two trusted men, went in front of the de signated house just as one of the Fili pinos, who had been away, returned to the house, and knocked three times. The door was opened from within and Captain Deems at once leaped inside and knocked the man senseless, then grabbed the astonished doorkeeper be fore he could stir up the neighbors or give a warning to those who had the gold. "The men outside followed up their leader and the crowd of 15 or so suc ceeded in catching unawares a com pany of 29, who were up stairs and could not get away. The gold was found under an altar in an adjoining room." Another Big Steamer. The second largest cotton steamer that has visited the port of Wilming ton this season is the British tramp Wandby, Capt. Pearson, which ar rived from New York last evening to Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son for a cargo of cotton from the Champion CompresB. The Wandby is of 2,580 tons register, and sailed from Soura baya July 6th, arriving at New York September 27th. The British steamer Almora, which recently cleared with 16,600 bales of cotton for Bremen, is the largest vessel that has been to the port this season, she having had a net register of 2,835 tons. She was also consigned to Messrs. Sprunt & Son. Gone to Spartanburg, S. C. Mr. Milton Reed, a very clever gentleman of Atlanta, Ga., who re cently organized in this city a large and flourishing lodge of the National Union, a fraternal insurance order, has gone to Spartanburg, S. 0., on a similar mission to the one here. Mr. Reed made many personal friends in Wilmington and before leaving ex pressed his regret that his duties else where required him to leave. He writes that he took his departure with many pleasant remembrances and best wishes for all bis Wilmington friends. HIGH PRICES RULING IN SPIRITS TURPENTINE. Wilmington Led All Other Southern Mar kets Yesterday The High Water Mark for Ten Years Reached. The oft-repeated prediction by naval stores people early in the season that spirits of turpentine before the close of October would reach beyond the 60 cents mark in price, found a happy fulfillment in the market yesterday when just one-fourth of a cent be yond that limit was reached at the close of the day's business, Wilming ton in this respect having been a lead for Savannah by a quarter and in ad vance of the Charleston market 1 cents. Not since March 13th, 1889 a little over ten years ago, has the price been' so high as now, and even at that time the market lingered only a few days around the 50 cents mark, whereas this year it has been gratifyingly near that point for almost the entire sea son, yesterday's figures having been alnlost paralleled on August 15th and a succession of days up to the present time. The receipts, owing to the shortage of the crop in the territory 'contiguous to Wilmington, have been light for the entire season, and espe cially so for the past month. Naval stores men not only in Wilmington,, but in other Southern markets have expressed themselves as confidently expecting a still further advance, as the scarcity of stock in the country becomes more and more apparent Prices of spirits for the past three years have ruled very low and the re munerative prices this year are on this account all the more welcome. For the past several years it has been con sidered well when sales could be ef fected even as high as 30 cents, and it was as far back as January, 1890, that over 40 cents was reached, sales hav-. iog been made during that month at 42 cents. In 1889 the parallel of the present season's figures was reached, and sales on March 13th were made at 50 cents. During the preceding month of that year prices did not rule over 40 cents, and during 1887 and the latter part of 1886 few sales" were made over 35 cents. In 1885 prices generally ruled below 30 cents, except during the first month of the year when sales were made as high as 35 cents. In February, 1883, as high as 50 cents was paid and the market took an upward tendency, which reached a climax on April 6th of that year when sales were made at 6i.c6u.ts, the highest price ever reached since 1875. The particular sale at that time was made by Mr. S. P. McNair in the early part of his successful business career in Wilmington to Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son, who were at that time the principal dealers in naval stores at the port In December 1876 prices ruled as high as 49 cents, but these figures were not approached at any other period of that year. In searching up the records at the Produce Exchange yesterday, a Star representative was informed by Capt. Jno. T. Rankin that the highest price ever recorded at Wilmington was 84 cents, which must have been scored during the abnormal prices in vogue just after the civil war. THE MASONIC TEMPLE FAIR.

The Opening Yesterday Eclipsed All For mer Successes Latest Styles in Hats Shown in Qreat Profusion. The ladies of Wilmington were the beneficiaries of a most delectable treat yesterday, the occasion being the open ing of Fall millinery at the ever popu lar Taylor's Bazaar, 118 Market street. The announcement that this event was on tapis caused the most pleasu rable anticipations among the devotees of fashion and yesterday they swarmed into the Bazaar to see what Dame Fashion had in store for them. That the ladies had their expecta tions realized to the fullest extent it is hardly necessary to state, for the mag nificent display of Fall hats and bon nets was on a scale and made in a manner that challenged their admira tion and gave them delight. Hats in great variety and of the latest styles were on exhibition, including superb importations from Paris and ele gant specimens from the hands of the artistic trimmers of the establishment. It was difficult in the midst of such a profusion of beautiful hats for the visitors to decide which one they most admired, but the, rich regal Gaza hat was doubtless the winner. There were, however, numerous beautiful and lovely products of the millinery art that-all but rivalled it Mrs. Taylor and Miss Lillie Taylor recently spent three weeks in New York, and the ladies who beheld their selections at the opening yesterday, showered compliments upon them for the taste and knowledge they displayed in picking out the stylish stock for the Bazaar. The various hats shown so struck the ladie3 that twenty-two or ders were given on the spot. Besides the splendid line of milli nery the Bazaar this Fall carries a large and very choice ptock of silks and other dress fabrics, novelty trimmings, laces, ribbons, embroideries, handker chiefs, etc. There is also a special line of underwear, and jackets and cloaks in all the up to-date styles.
