Precarious Condition of a Young
Business Man.

Discovered in an Unconscious Con-

Still Alive at Midnight, Although
His Case Was Pronounced Hopeless
by the Physicians From the Begin-
• - ning.
Max Eisenman.a well-known young busi-
- 0638 man, is lying at the point of death
from the effects of opiates taken Wednes-
.• day night. Whether they were taken
■with suicidal intent or for the purpose of
obtaining rest it is impossible to say. His
friends are inclined to take the latter
view.
; JMr. Eisenman boards with the Dryfus
family, at No. 150 Jones street, having in
fact practically been a member of the
family for the last twenty years. Mr.
Moses Dryfus, who has a room adjoining
Mr. Eisenman’s, was awakened Thursday
.morning about 5:80 o'clock by a peal of
thunder. His attention was attracted to
tbefoud breathing of Mr. Eisenman in the
next room. He went in and spoke to
• him, but received no answer. He at
tempted to arouse him, but found him un-
: cpnscious.’ He concluded that something
serious was the matter and at once sent
forljnrs. Weichselbaum and Read.
•< ■ 1 PHYSICIANS SUMMONED.
Dr. Weichselbaum was the first to ar
rive, and at once saw that Mr. Eisenman
was suffering from opium poison
ing of some kind. He admin
istered a hyperdermic injection,
which failed to have the desired
.effect; showing that the poison had had
.'time to enter the system. He then pro
cured an electric battery andapplied that,
also without effect.
•' £r. Read arrived about this time and
pronounced the patient beyond recovery.
The physicians continued their efforts all
of Thursday, and during that night as
well, in the hopes of possibly arousing the
spark of life, which was very faint. The
patient remained almost in a state of
coma during the entire day, but at night
there were slight symptoms of improve
ment. with a possible hdpe of recovery.
At midnight, however, ho was still un
conscious, and there was only a bare pos
sibility of recovery.
NO TRACE OF THE DRUG.
The physicians were unable to ascer
tain what form of poison Mr. Eisenman
had taken, though it was evidently
Opium in. some form. Nothing was dis
covered indicating an intention of suicide.
There was no note nor any evidences
that such was the intention of the
patient. The only sign of a drug which
could be discovered was three small
papers in the slop jar, such as are used by
the druggist in putting up powders. It
was supposed that these had contained the
medicine taken. Mr. Dryfus’ explanation
of Mr. Eisvnman’s condition is that the
latter had been suffering from insomnia,
due to despondency on account of busi
ness troubles, and that he had been ad
vised to take some opiate in order to pro
duce sleep. He thinks Mr. Eisenman took
the powders with this in view, and, the
first powder failing to produce the de
sired effect, a second and then a third
were taken, the result being that too
large an amount of the opiate was taken
into the system.
rtf ‘ UNFORTUNATE IN BUSINESS.
Mr. Eiseman came to Savannah from
Elsas, Germany, in 1872, when quite a
youth. His parents still reside at Elsas.
After about two years in the employ of
Julius Perlinski lie embarked in business
for himself, which he continued for some
time, but was unsuccessful and was
\ finally obliged to retire. He afterward
did business in a small way on the second
floor at the corner of Broughton and Bar
nard streets. Having accumulated some
money, he concluded to embark in busi
ness again on a larger scale, and opened a
general merchandise store at No. 24 Bar
nard street. He afterward branched out
by including the store at No. 162 Brough
ton street, the two places connecting in
the rear In the shape of an ell.
The long-continued business depression
proved very disastrous to him, and in
spite of desperate efforts, he lost ground
rapidly. Finding that it was only a ques
tion of time before he would be closed
out by his creditors, he gave a mortgage
a few days aero on his stock to
protect his friends in the city,
who, had made advances to aid
him in his business. It was prac
tically a failure. He was very much
downcast over his misfortune and aad
been in very low spirits for several days.
Eisenman was well known in the city and
had numbers of friends among all classes,
who were shocked to hear of his condi
tion yesterday. He is 38 years of age.
MAX BISENMANN DEAD
Unconscious from the Time He Took
Poison Until He Died.
Mr. Max Eisenmann, an accountof whose
taking poison was published in Fri
day’s Morning News, died Friday
morning at 7 o’clock at his home on Jones
street. Mr. Eisenmann never recovered
consciousness from the time his condition
was discovered. Thursday morning, his
condition remaining practically the same
up to a short while before his death,
when he began to grow weaker.
Nothing was discovered to indicate
whether his intention in taking the pow
ders Wednesday night was to commit
suicide or merely for the purpose of ob
taining rest.
WILL THE?HOLD OUT?
A Question as to Whether the Buyers
or Factors Are Strongest.
Both the buyers and factors in the
naval stores products think they will get
the best of the fight for prices. So far
both sides are holding out well, but in the
end it will be a question of which is the
stronger.
The buyers claim they have plenty of
stock on hand to run them for some time
yet, while the manufacturers all have
supplies which will keep them running
for a good many days. The factors are
confident in the assertion that the exports
ers have contracts to nil which they have
extended to August, and that thev are
trying to get the turpentine at 28 W cents
The factors say it shall not go at t>us
figure, but have been holding it at *,w. 4
cents.
The factors hate chartered two vessels,
it is said, and are securing tonnage to
send the stock abroad when the demand
creates a call for it. They say the buyers
cannot secure the product to fulfill.' their
contracts, and that when the foreign mer
chants want more stock they will?have to
come to the factors for it. Ona of the
factors said yesterday they were satisfied
with the situation, and felt confl/ient that
they would get satisfactory prices for
spirits before it would be sold.

ROBB ED HIS EMPLOYER.
A Trusted Porter Arrested for Steal
ing From a Store.
Detective Bossell arrested J. L. Jack
son and Smart Heywrad, colored, Fri
day morning. Jackson is charged with
robbing his employer, Mr. George Die
ter, and Heyward, a colored drayman, is
charged with assisting him in carrying
off the goods. Mr. Dieter, who runs a
store at Barnard and St. Julian streets,
has been missing articles for some time,
but could not account for their disappear
ance. He informed Detective Bossell of
his losses and asked him to investigate
the matter. The detective was not long
in discovering that Jackson was the thief
and that he was aided by Heyward, and
that the two had been retailing the
stolen goods to small grocery stores
through the city. both par
ties Friday morning.
Jackson had been in tbe employ of the
house through successive changes of the
firm for the last fifteen years, and was
regarded as thoroughly honest. Mr.
Dieter was very much surprised when in
formed that he was the thief. The evi
dence. however, seems to be conclusive.
Jackson had the duty of opening up the
store every morning before Mr.
Dieter came down. Heyward, so
Detective Bossell says, would be
around with his dray, and a caddy of to
bacco or a couple of hams would be
slipped aboard, and would (be out of sight
before Mr. Dieter’s arrival. The thefts are
believed to have been going on for three
months or more, in which time Mr. Die
ter has lost a considerable quantity of
goods. The arrests were made early yes
terdaymorning, but the hearing in. the
police court was postponed until this
morning. <
MELONS KEEP COMING YET.
The Shipments This Year Much Later
Than Usual.
The Crop Set Back by the Freeze,
Drought and the Strike, but in Spite
of These Drawbacks the Growers
Have Made Money—The Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway’s
Shipments to Date Over 600 Cars
Less Than For the Corresponding
Time Last Year.
Assistant Supt. Aveilhe of the Savan
nah, Florida and Western railway has
returned from Thomasville, where he
superintended the handling of the water
melon crop of Southwestern Georgia.
Mr. Aveilhe said Thursday that in
spite of the freeze, the drought and strike
this year’s watermelon crop will fall
very little short of that of a year ago.
Without these three drawbacks, all of
which affected the results to a consider
able extent, this year’s melon crop, be
says, would have been something unpre
cedented in the history of the business.
Os the three drawbacks named, Mr.
Aveilhe considers the drought to have
been the most serious in its effects. It
not only caused the crop to come into
market late, but was also responsible for
the small size of the melons.
THE SHIPMENTS KEEP UP.
The planters are being recompensed to
some extent for all the drawbacks which
they have experienced, by the continued
demand for melons, with fair prices much
later in the season than is usually the
case. The shipments by the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway for the last
several days have averaged ninety cars a
day. Day before yesterday ninety-one
cars were handled as against two cars for
the same day last year. The prices have
averaged well during the entire season,
and altogether the growers have made
some money.
If the first crop had not been killed out
by the freeze, Mr. Aveilhe thinks it would
have been the biggest and earliest crop
ever raised in Georgia. Such a result,
however, would not have baen an unmit
igated blessing, as the markets would in
all probability have been glutted, with
consequent low prices, and also because
there is little demand for melons in the
north as long as the weather remains
cool.
NEARLY 3,000 CARS.
The Savannah. Florida and Western
railway has handled to date 2,785 cars, as
against 3,388 cars up to the same date
last year, or 603 cars lens than were han
dled up to the same time last year. The
total number of cars bandied last year
was 3,633. If the shipments continue at
the present rate the number of cars han
dled this year will toe considerably over
3,000.
Mr. Aveilhe says that while the plant
ers lost some mo'ney by tbe strike, the
loss was not as groat as was generally
supposed, some outlets being found for
the shipments during the entire time. A
great many shipments were ruined by
delay in transit, and others were sold by
the railroads to pay freight. These
losses, however, were only a small per
centage of the total shipments.
AT SEA. IN A NAPHTHA.
Capt. W. JL Thompson’s Experience
That H<j Doesn’t Care to Repeat.
The naphtha launch Clipper arrived
here Satimtay from Florida and Capt.
W.' J. Thompson, who has seen pretty
rough set vice as a Savannah pilot, says
he will never forget his first trip to sea in
a naphtlia launch.
The Clipper was recently bought by a
party of gentlemen of this city, two of
whom went with Capt. Thompson to
Palatk.a about a week ago to
bring the boat here. The party
was anxious to get home, and as
the weather looked very favorable
they decided to keep at sea, instead of
cominsr inside via Fernandina, at least as
far as St. Andrews Sound. The boat had
proceeded about half way between the
two entrances when the engine gave out
at) d the little vessel was at the mercy of
the winds and waves.
To make matters woree, it was discov
ered that there was no anchor, but for
tunately Captain Thompson improvised
one with a bag filled with ballast, and by
splicing some ropes, made a cable about
fifty feet long. This kept the boat from
drifting into the breakers.
After a good deal of hard worn, a jury
mast and sail were rigged out of the
stanchions and awnings, and the boat
navigated in time in to St. Annrews Sound,
where a sail boat towed the Clipper to
Brunswick. The engine was repaired,
and Friday the boat started for home, ar
riving here Saturday.
The Clipper is twenty-five feet in length,
and has a Sintz gasoline engine, and can
make ten miles an hour. Capt. Thomp
son says it is the best little sea boat be
was ever in, but he does not care about
going to sea in her again.

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, JULY 30, 1894.
BAD USE OF THE MAILS.
D. A. Tison Charged With Using Them
to Swindle Savannah Merchants.
A Conspiracy That Has Been Going
on for Years—The Way It Become
Known—Fancy Letter Heads With
Names of Fictitious Firms Used to
Defraud Merchants Tison to Be
Given a Hearing Before Commis
sioner Connolly To-day.
The arrest of D. A. Tison at Rixville
Friday by Deputy Marshal Buckner of
the United States court is believed to be
the solution of a conspiracy which has
been going on for years to defraud mer
chants by use of the United States mails.
The charge against Tison grew out of a
report made to Postoffice Inspector John
W. Bulla by Mr. H. H. Cohen and other
merchants here, who stated that they had
lost goods by shipping them to firms
which existed only on paper. The scheme
was very smoothly worked, and though it
has been going on for sometime it was a
hard matter to locate the guilty party.
The charge is made that Tison has had
fancy bill heads and letter heads printed
with such firm names as Hutchinson &
Co. and others, which were equally fic
titious, and on the face of these has or
dered goods from different merchants
here and elsewhere by the use of this
stationery. After securing the goods the
firm would be heard of no more under the
same name, and it was impossible to
make a collection for the goods thus sold.
Several parties have been swindled in
this way.
Mr. Cohen shipped a fine buggy on such
an order as this, but never received pay
ment for it and could get no satisfaction
whatever from the consignee, who
ever he was. Through his re
port of the matter to In-
spector Bulla the case against Tison was
worked up. and night before last Deputy
Marshal Buckner went up the Central
railroad to Rixville to make the arrest.
The preliminary examination of D. A.
Tyson, charged with using the mails for
fraudulent purposes, which was to have
taken place Saturday morning before
United States Commissioner M. A. Con
nolly, ha£ been deferred and will proba
bly come up next Tuesday morning.
The case, however, according to the
officers who have worked it up, is a most
extraordinary one. It appears that there
has been a conspiracy going on sometime
ift Emanuel county around Rixville for
the purpose of defrauding merchants and
wholesale houses out of goods which were
ordered and never paid for, or rather
sometime small sums would be paid on
account at times in order to throw off sus
picion until the swindler had accom
plished his purpose.
HAD SIO,OOO WORTH OF GOODS.
It is charged by those who have worked
up the case that Tyson was the bead and
front of this movement, and if what they
• say can be substantiated the extent of his
dealings is something marvelous. They
say that he has a stock in a store at Rix
ville amounting to about SIO,OOO, nearly
all of which has been obtained through a
fraudulent use of the mails, and very lit
tle of which has been paid for. The busi
ness has been carried on, it is said, since
1885, but for reason or other the mer
chants who have lost goods have never
made any complaint, perhaps because
they thought the only case they would
have would be one of a bad debt, which
might perchance in the cours* of events
be paid.
The business was done some time ago
at Perry’s Mills, in Tattnall county, Geor
gia. Several letter heads with D. A. Ty
son’s name on them and with the Perry’s
Mills date line, are in the possession of
Postoffice Inspector J. W. Bulla, who
worked up the case. The business has
been done under the names of D. A. Ty
son, W. E. Hutchinson, W. E. Hutchin
son & Co., William N. Riner and others.
Letterheads and billheads, engraved with
these firms, none of which, it is said, are
in existence, are in the possession of the
inspector,
HOW THE MAILS WERE USED.
One of these engraved bill heads or
letter heads presents the appearance of
coming from a very well-to-do firm, and
any merchant might, at first glance,honor
an order written op one of the letter
heads without question. It was through
these letter heads that Tyson was de
tected. He is arrested under an affidavit
sworn to byH. H. Cohen, from whom he
ordered a buggy and set of harness
which have not been paid for.
The violation of Uncle Sam’s laws
arises out of tbe fact that the mails have
been used for the purpose of transmitting
these fraudulent orders. Tyson endeav
ored yesterday to give tond, and it is un
derstood that the man he expected to go
his surety is the very man who has the
buggj- that was shipped by Mr. Cohen,
he having taken it, as he states, for a
debt that Tyson owed him.
savannah firms caught.
Commissioner Connollv fixed the
amount of Tyson’s bond at $2,500, but up
to last night it had not been given, and
Tyson was committed to jail. When asked
who were the victims of this swindle, one
of the officers said you can pick out al
most any wholesale house on the Bay and
will hit it right. Among the merchants
who have been victims, and whose names
the officers of , the court have,-
are the Savannah Furniture Company,
Lindsay & Morgan, Emil A. Schwarz,
Thomas West & Co., Haynes & Elton ,
Lovell & Lattimore, A. Leffler & Son,
Moore Bros. & Co., W. D. Simkins, Sa
vannah Grocery Company, James Barron
& Co. of New | York, Phoenix Rattan
Company of Concord, Mass., Bolin &,
Berne of New York, Foley At Williams
Manufacturing Company of Cincinnati,
0., National Cash Register Company,
Union Bottling Company of New York,
Marietta Chair Company, Conrad’s Chair
and Furniture Manufacturing Company
of St. Louis and others.
The game was tried on S. Gucken
heimer <&. Sons, Ludden <fc Bates and C.
E. Stults it Co. a short time ago, but
they ’consulted R. G. Dun & Co., and
Bradstreet's commercial agencies, after
which they very wisely reiused to shiD
the goods ordered.
WAS HE IN A BLIND TIGER ?
The people around Rixville told the of
ficers that Tyson had been in jail so often
that he had become accustomed to it. One
of the officers says he has been under in
dictment on a charge of passing counter
feit money. When Inspector Bulla went
to arrest Tyson he went into what he
thought was the postoffice at Rixville. but
soon found that he was in a very different
place. Emanuel county is a dry county,
but this place looked very much like a
blind tiger. Another of the stories about
Tyson is that he was once fined SI,OOO for
running a blind tiger, which fine was
paid. The case, from all accounts, is a
decidedly interestihg one, and it may be
that some additional particulars will be
brought out on the preliminary examina
tion next Tuesday.

HIS LAST TURN AT THE ENGINES.
Nacoochee’s Chief Engineer Stricken
With Apoplexy on Shipboard.
Thaddeus C. Marshall, chief engineer
of the steamship Nacoochee, died at the
Presbyterian hospital in New York last
Monday night from apoplexy. His
funeral took place Friday night from his
late residence, Astor Place.' Jersey City
Heights.
Mr. Marshall's death was peculiarly
sad. He was one of the oldest engineers
in the Ocean Steamship Company’s em
ploy, having been with it since the com
pany was organized. On the last trip
from Savannah to New York, Capt.
Smith and Mr. Marshall were standing
on deck as the ship was nearing the Jer
sey coast. The weather was thick, and
they were watching the outlines of the
shore. It was Sunday afternoon, and
both were discussing the probability of
reaching their families down at the
beaches that night.
Mr. Marshall went to his room to con
sult a railroad schedule. Capt. Smith
was standing by his side at the engineer’s
desk when Mr. Marshall dropped his
head on his arm and complained of feel
ing unwell. A few minutes later he be
gan gasping and breathing heavily. After
that he never spoke. Capt. Smith took
him'in his arms and laid him on a sofa,
and everything that it was possible to do
for him on shipboard was done, but he re
mained unconscious. At quarantine a
message was sent to the Presbyterian
hospital to have an ambulance at the dock
on the arrival of the steamer.
The ship arrived late in the evening
and Mr. Marshall was taken at once to
the hospital. His case was pronounced
by the physicians hopeless. Mrs. Mar
shall was telegraphed for at Asbury
Park, and she reached her husband’s
bedside the next morning. His life was
slowly ebbing, and he died*Monday night,
thirty-two hours after the fatal attack.
Mr. Marshall was 53 years bld. Hp was
born in New Baltimore, N. Y.,
where his aged father apd mother reside.
Both are 87 years old and are hardly ex
pected to survive the shock of their son’s
death. Mr. Marshall leaves, besides
his widow and parents, a sister,
who was with him when he died.
His wife’s sorrow is rendered more keen
by the recent death of her only son, John
B. Marshall. Mr. Marshall was a mem
ber of the Lodge of the Temple
No. 110, F- and A. M., and his fu
neral was'with Masonic rites. Mr. Mar
shall and Capt. Smith had been shipmates
twenty-six years, and a warm friendship
existed between them. The dead engi
neer was well known in Savannah, to
which port he had been running for over
a quarter of a century.

The purposes of the association as
stated in its application for charier are:
To encourage and promote co-operation,
and secure unity of action among those
engaged in the manufacture, handling

sub-associations or other methods, an in
terchange of views and better social and
business relations between oersons en
gaged in said business; to fix a scale of
wages and make other suitable regula
lations regarding labor; to protect the
members of the association, and others
engaged in said business, from combina
tions. trade speculations and othor
practices whereby it is rendered
impossible to carry on the bus

nations and other unfair dealings by com
mon carriers or others, tending to the
hurt or detriment of the industry.
TO REGULATE THE INDUSTRY.
To establish rules and regulations gov

business, and adjust controversies be
tween them; to enforce such rules and
regulations, and findings or awards by

such manner as the directors may deem
desirable or most beneficial: and if, in the
descretion of any board of dirctors, it
should ever become necessar.y to. do so in
order to carry out the>aforesaid objects of
this association, then, to wqrk, manu

TO BEGIN BUSINESS AT ONCE
As soon as the charter can be obtained
a meeting of the operators will be held
in Savannah for the purpose of organiz
ing and electing officers and adopting a
constitution and by-laws suitable for the
government of the association.
The impression has gone but that it is
the purpose of the association to enter
into a co-operative factorage business.
“While the charter is so drawn as to al
low the association this privilege, ( it has
ho such idea,” said Mr. A, Pridgen, who
is one of the movers in the matter, “un
less it should eventually become neces
sary to do so in order to protect the gen
eral welfare of the industry, which will
never be the case as long as the factors
stick to legitimate methods and maintain
their position in protecting the industry
from ruin, as they have recently been
doing.”
THE PIGEONS BACK HOME.
Mr. Hanahan Will Loose Them Again
From the Morning News Building.
Three of the five homing pigeons turned
loose from the top of the Morning News
building by Mr. 0. P. Rossignol last
Wednesday have arrived in Charleston.’
One reached there the next day, and two
on the day following that.
A letter from Mr. Hanahan says “The
birds look very well after having flown
for two days in the hot sun and slept in
trees at night, fn such weather.birds are
likely to alight somewhere in search of
water, and are frequently trapped or
shot, and often lose their course for
awhile. As a rule I never fly birds from
large cities, as they are more apt to be
attracted than when flying from a small
town.” **•**_ /
“I shall send the birds, again to Savan
nah, and see if they cannot make quicker
time. They ought to fly ninety miles, air
line, in one hour and three-quarters, or
less. They have been known to fly more
than a mile a minute for a distance of 300
miles.” ‘■.
DROWNED HERSELF JN A POND.
A Deserted Wife Seeks Solace in the
Darkness of the Grave.
Griffin. Ga., July 28.—Some boys while
bathing in Lyndon lake this afternoon
discovered a dead body floating, which
was afterward identified, although badly
decomposed, as the body of Mrs. Kate
Owen, a daughter of a well-known me
chanic here. The finding of the body re
veals the old story of man’.> perfidy and
woman’s worse than weakness. About
one year ago a young man named D. T
Owen, representing a sewing machine
company, met Miss J ones and both seemed
infatuated with each other. Shortly
afterward they were married. A short
time ago Owen disappeard and never
came back. She became despondent,
and last Wednesday left a note to her
mother that her body would be found in
a pond around her 6 and in the
deepest water. Her mother thought
nothing of the note and felt
sure she was absent visiting friends until
the body was found to-day. Near where
her body was found her hat was discov
ered, containing a photograph of herself,
Owen and a baby. On the back was writ
ten “Husband and wife.” “My body will
be found in the lake.” “Bury these with
me.” The suicide was an unfortunate
woman who loved not wisely. The coro
ner’s inquest was in accordance with the
above facts.

THE USUAL DULL SATURDAY
Very Little Doing in Any of the
Markets.
Cotton Quiet and Lower to Sell—Noth
ing Doing in Naval Stores—The Gen
eral Markets Quiet and Steady—The
Telegraphic Markets Without Nota
ble Features.
Savannah. July 28.—The local markets were
almost deserted to-day. There was nothing
doing in the leading departments, and by 2
o’clock, when the usual half holiday began,
there was very little to report. Prices re
mained quiet and steady.
The telegraphic reports from other markets
were featureless, there being but few opera
tors at the leading exchanges, and what busi
ness was done was dull and tiresome.
The following resume of the different mark
ets will show the tone and the quotations for
the day:
Cotton.
The local spot market was neglected to-dav.
There was very little offering and no demand.
There were no sales reported. At the Cotton
Exchange, at the regular call, the market
was bulletined easy and lower to sell. The

New York, July 28.—The Sun’s cotton re
port says- ‘-A decline Ini Liverpool, favorable
crop news, some “long” selling, and some
bear hammering depressed prices in a narrow
market. One house said:
“The cotton world, as a rule, is against the
market, and as we said a few days ago, it
matters not to what extent notices on August
should be stopped, it would create only a
temporary strength should Liveroool fail to
respond to that character of encouragement
on this side. We now see that Liverpool
pays no attention to the fact that what no
tices were issued yesterday were either
stopped by those putting them out, or others
who were long of that month. Unfavorable
trade reports continue to come from Man
chester and elsewhere, and yet the decrease
of the world’s visible supply of all kinds, for
the week en-iing Oct. is 100,060 bales, of
which 84.000 is American.”
New York, July 28.—Riordan & Co., in their
review of cotton tor the past week, sav: “The
conditions influencing the cotton market have
undergone no noteworthy change during the
week just ended. Trade both in this country
and abroad remains very dull and unsatisfac
tory. The crop appears to be getting on
finely, and continues to give every indication
of a large yield, and prices in the absence of
any strong speculative support have had a
further and material decline. The fact that
the crop has not yet entered upon the-moss. crit
ical month of the season and the probability
that a settlement of the tariff tangle may now
at any moment give the signal for a rushing
revival of industry and trade in the United
States, are the two main considerations
which stand In the way of a much more
serious break in values than we have yet had.
Our own impressions are that the chances are
still in favor of a lower range of prices later
in the season, but all depends
upon the weather in August be
ing as favorable for the plant as that of
June and July has been: and this is a contin
gency in regard to which nobody’s opinion is
of any particular value. For the immediate
future, we rather expect a fluctuating market
without any very decided change in either
direction. But when the new cotton shall be
gin to find its way to market in considerable
volume, we fear that it may be found impos
sible to sustain even the present low
quotations. Liverpool sent us a decline to
day, and the crcp accounts, both in the Finan
cial Chronicle and from private gourdes,
were so uniformly excellent that there Was
more disposition to sell than to buy. October,
which has now taken the place of August as
the most active trading month, opened 1
point lower, at 6.82 c, and gradually declined
to 6.78 c. The close was easy, at the lowest of
the day. Final prices to-day for all months,
except August, were the lowest yet touched.”
