Septenler 22 Liverpool, did not follow the advurc' of yesterday in 2hcw Yoik but opened lowr for futarcs and spots with sales 10,000. New York opened at a decline of seven points and was barely steady all day, finally closing steady at 8 27 for Jan uary, a net decline for the d y of 2 1 points. Tbe decline cam jnobablj be accounted for by larger r-ipls and snal! speenbitive sopport Messrs. Null Bros, who have gained great celebrity as imp guassers say tbe possibilities cover a range cf 7,800,000 to 9,00,COO. This is two wide a range to bave much bearing on the market. It appears now tbat tbe supply of cotton coming In will be sufficient to satisfy all demands for awhile at least. There is a general sentiment tbat tbe market will be made higher ip tbe end, yet this question of big receipts, tight money and general business depression shoaU not be overlooked. Niw BiRNK market baa been steady at 7.40 to 7.55. Yours truly. J, E. Latham. Blfr COTTON MOVEMENT. h SENATORS MORGAN AND TELLER TO SPEAL. Hot a Maa."' Bryan's Tear Discounted, Say BepoJalleana.

It turned out that a mail lag thrown out of the cur had CxUht in enme way. The letters were a' I gone. Tbe postal cltrks were mysti fied. Republicans say that they have dis counted the iffL-cts of Bryan's tour of the State. Democrats say it has had a very powerful effect and that the RepuMicaus know this but are trying, to conceal it. The intense beat continues. Vegitatiou of many kinds looks withered. S'nams are low and many springs dry. The tobacco sales in this market are the largest in several years. There is a notable falling off io the quality of the tobacco market this month as compaied with thut marketed in August Tbacolor is n' t so good. ThePopulists in the 5lh district bave nominated A. J.

It is lurther sai4 that this is part of tbe contract entered-into last wetk by the RepubPcan and Popnlit m!)rmg rs.

Maxwell, made public, is chiefly Temaikable for its record of brigan dage in ronmction with the mail eervice ol th country. On the night of June 14, J89?, ip the mi'lst of a barren cage brush . prait'ie, a highwayman accosted the driver of the moil stage, one mile south of Houston, Idaho, and commanded him to "halt and bit the tta.il back, and hit it Laid," which command us obeyed with alacrity, and the robber took possession of the mail stage abd'coDtcJu Nearly a year later William B.

Two thousand and forty-six post offices bave been established during the fiscal year, and 1750 discontinued, a net gain of 296, making a total of 70,360.

WASHINGTON LETTER. SENATOR GORMAN ADVISES CANDIDATE BRYAN. Don't Abase Bolting Democrats. Bry an at Washington. Administration will Soon Act. Popnlists Hot Sure as Democrats. Journal Bureau, Washington, D. C, Sep'. 21st. Political rumors have been unusually plentiful siDce Mr. Bryan's visit to Wash ington he was here all day yesterday and last night. He consulted with the men who are managing the Washington end of his campaign; also with Senator Gor man, who although not otticially desig uattd us such, is generally understood to be in charge of Mr. Bryuu's iuterests in the East. One of the rumors which bears an air of prob ability is that Senator Gor man, tried to impress upon Mr. Bryan the advisability of changing the tone of ftos speeches, especially 'thirtpTilcif' of them whxh deals with the bolting Dem ocrats. Mr. Gorman is inclined to think it bad policy for Mr. Bryan to abine the bolters, as he has lately been doing. Whether he will take Mr. Gorman's ad vice is a question. According to some of his leading supporters, Mr. Bryan has in sisted up:o having his own way about the management of his campaign from the day he was nominated. He lias a strong belftf in the certainity that the people are going to elect him anyway. There Is no doubt about his believing himself to be 'a man-of destiny,'' with as much faitn as ever President Cleveland believed him self to he such. di ) matter- whether you are for or agahist him, no man who has attended gne of the public meetings addressed by Mr. Bryan can truthfully deny that be is a drawing attraction; nor that he posses ses a. wonderful faculty for arousing en thusiasm among his hearers. Notwith 8tan?liqg a heavv rain storm just after be had beun his Washington speech, the meeting was probably the largest gath ering of the sort ever held at the Na tional Capitol, and this, too, in the face of ibe taot that only those holding tickets about 2,000 could be provided with seals. More than 20,000 stood up to bear him among them being many from the surrounding country who had come in during the dty for no other purpose than to b-ar Mr. Bryan talk. The large at tend n ce- at ihs meeting demonstrated h,i8 drowiug (pacjty and tb.8 enthusiasm of h ;ii:5, 4 ih 'Ugh he spoke less than ha: run l o r, demor.Ht rated his oratorical i O's'ier ''persotial magnetism1' they used to Cili ibe same faculty in the late Jas. G. BUke. Call it what you will, Bryan has t .jiti s Mr. Blaine and Henry Ward Be cii r h:;d, and Col. Kobt. G. Ingersoll a; llu-nthusiae ui as gomgvyliat svu pl'Urirg to ii,any, because it is known that ggi tii a all of the minor Government .ii!oyces and those wlv an? directly or iuchiectiy interested in their retention of office are opposed to the election of Mr. Bryao, regardless ofgtheir politics, be cause of their belief that he favors a clean sweep in order to give the outs a chance to SrC how t,hey would like woiing .fof Uncle Sam, When Secretary Carlisle, whiisuow with President Cleveland, returns to Washington this week, it is expected thai the policy of the administration towards the campaign will at once become appar ent. Inasmuch as Secretary Carlisle in tends himself to take the stump for tbe gold Democratic ticket, it js regarded as doiibtml whether he will dismiss those of bis Eubordinates who have already taken the stump for the silver Democratic ticket notwithstanding previous reports that he wonld. This is merely a new applica tion of "what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." If it be proper for a member of the administration to take tle stump for one ticket, it would be'a little odd to punish another mem ber 'for taking the stump for another ticket. It is noticeable that although the Pop ulist and Democratic . headquarters are under the same root' and that the parties are buth working for the e'ectioq of the saint; ..resident, it nQt the same Vn e President, that the Populists are not en dorng the chains put forward by the , Democrats of the certainty oi Bryan's election. On the contrary, the Populists conttnt themselves with x pivssing the hope that Bryan will i-e elected, and that lusiou on a satisfactory basis wilt be arranged in all the Slates having a large Populist vote. t'hairoiin "Butler does not say as much, but .tbe: Populists do say that they see no possible she;W for B'yap to win without a combi nation ot the' Democrats and Populists upQ a single electoral ticket in a number ol States where they now have or threaten to bave seperate tickets The iufluence of the opulHt Nntional Committee has been small in a number of these States, andfpecially so iu several States in which tbe Populists have aim' st a majority ot the voters. It is known that prom nent Populists oppoge the policy of the Demo cratic National Couamittte in spreading out i -s rtsoiir'sts in States where Bijaa has little or no sbo. iD&tad of conceu tiatirg them in such States as Indiana, Illinois, Jowa, Sjiehigm and Minnesota, all of which tbey believe could be carried for hiir. tioyeott Ag-ainst Dominion Silver. Rochester, N. Y. Notices were posfed iu all the banks of the city to the effect that no Canadiau silver money woiTd be received on deposit. Ttis action is tbe result of agitation, which has been going on io local bunking t-irclesj on this subject for a number ot days. It was stated, howe er, that the boycott has bein started by business men, aud is the out come of a sentiment against Canadians on account of their rufu-al to take United States money. From now on all Canadi an silver will be subjected to a discount of 20 per cent. This will practically drive it out of circulation in this city. THE MARKETS. Chicago, September 23. opening, close.
