Riley Ca Cotton Futures New York, November 1. The trading in cotton today was typical of an ante-holiday market. Liverpool slightly lower and our market opened a little down. The pressure to sell, was not great and the demand from shorts anxious to cover before the holidays was considerable. Receipts were quite free, -but as an influence prices were more than offset by predictions of freezing weather in many, states of the south tonight.

January opened at 5.85, rftllied to 5.89, declined to 5.86, advanced to 5.95 and closed at 5.92 to 5.93, with the tone of the market steady. Although the preponderance of sentiment is still in favor of lower prices, many judges are now of the opinion that 'the -time for making profitable sales of cotton Is past. Tomorrow being election the exchange will be closed. RIORDAN CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, November 1.

Sales to 11 o'clock were 14,500 bales. Early English cables were disappointing, but subsequent advices proved more favorable. Selling was checked somewhat by reports of heavy rajns over the cotton belt east of the Mississippi. New York Stock Market.

New York, November 1. The business in the stock market today was very small and the trading amounted to little more than the passing of holdings from one hand to the other of the same person. The professionals bought stocks In the morning and sold them thereafter, with the result that nearly all changes resolved themselves into very small fractions, though the later reaction extended a little further than the early rise. Today being a bank holiday in London, no quotations -were received from there to influence the re sults here, but there was light buying of some stocks in this market for Lon don account. The stiffening In the rate for call money is not regarded as likely to last for any length1 of time and is attributed to operations incident to the November disbursements on ac- ocunt of dividends and interest.

"The fight for silver is still on; and will be until we get a righteous monetary system, and we never will have this until we get open mints for gold and silver at a rate to be established by law." New England in the Pacific (From The Indianapolis News.) The most important part of Senator Morgan's, 'brief. Interview Is his ap proval of the plan which contemplates the conferring of statehood on Hawaii as soon as. possible after annexation, He says: "Hawaii Is certainly going to be a state.

But whether it will be at the time Of its annexation or later remains to be seen. Should it he annexed as a territory, the Hawaiian commissioners will recommend that the islands be aa mitted to statehood and a special act of congress would undoubtedly follow. What do the people think of the pos sibility of two senators from Hawaii, representing only a little more than 100,000 people? Two senators, one representative and three1 electoral votes from a rotten borough two thou sand miles out in the Pacific! That this would 'be the necessary conse quence of annexation is clear. 'We can not exoect to hold any part" of our domain perpetually as a territory, for ours is a government of states. But if it were possible, theoretically, to keep Hawaii out of the union of states, the demand for its admission toy the po litical party interested in securing control of the senate would ibe so strong as to make successful resistance impossible.

The two aditional senators and the three electoral votes would toe powerful arguments for the admission of the state of Hawaii to the union. And Senator Morgan admits frankly that annexation will involve statehood. He is right; but the other annexation ists have not been so frank. They have talked wisely afbout some special form of government, and "have repudia ted the suggestion that it would toe necessary, if we annexed Hawaii, to take it into the union as a state. Evidently they have feared that the peo ple would oppose annexation if they had any reason to (believe we were to have a state of Hawaii.

We believe that these fears are weH grounded.

R. SAULTER. For. sals by Druggists. An Old Roman Bath In London (The English Illustrated Magazine.) How many thousand daily traverse the Strand! How many probably are aware that within a few yards of thenv stands one of the most interesting of the relics of Roman London a bath that is two thousand years-old, and that is still used for the purposes, for which It was built! It is reached by strand Lane, a small passage opposite the east end of St.

Mary's church, and a few yards east of Somerset house. Some twenty yards down this alley, on the left hand, will be seen a small, unpretentious-looking building, behind a row of Iron railings. a few steps and passing through an inner wooden doorway, re cently erected, we shall find ourselves in a narrow vaulted passage; through an arch on our left we enter. (The entrance originally was by an arch immediately on the left upon entering. This was recent ly bricked up, leaving, however, a square opening through which the bath can be surveyed).

Here, tn a. vaulted chamber some sixteen feet in length, sixteen feet in height, ana feet width, nt by a single oval window at its western end, is the historic bath, which was probably built either in the reign of the Emperor Titus or of Vespasian nearly two thou sand years ago. The bath is sunk in the grouna to. a aeptn or tour ana a halt feet. Its length is about thirteen feet and the width six feet.

At the northeast end, within the bath, is a small flight of steps, around which the water rushes-in beautifully clear, cool, and pleasant to the taste. Some twenty-six thousand gallons pass through the batb dally, the supply being aenvea rrom a perpetual spring, the source of which Is believed to be the old Holy -Well which gives its name, though not its cleansing quality. to hard by. A waste-pipe inserted in the bath carries off the overflow of water. On the west end of the bath the old Roman bricks still remain to attest the antiquity of the structure.

The other three tde are now Uned with the marble that was taken from what was known as he Essex bath until its destruction in 1893. to make way for the buildings of the Norfolk hotel. The Essex bath was built, so some assert. In 1588, by the Earl of Essex. It was a fine marble plunge bath, supplied with water from the Roman bath toy means of a leaden pipe.

Nothing of it remains but the marble linings already referred to.
