II IS MMHG STILL, Captain Parrott Writes Interesting ly on the Subject of Cotton and Its Present Status. Almost daily we hear that the farmers in the bottom lands of Texas and Missis sippi are still picking cotton, but the old red hills of Georgia, who follow next to the first state, and lead the latter in the number of bales produced, as if deter mined not to be left, show up a field in Upson county that has not been picked at all. So says my friend, C. B. Adams, across the stree.t and that the cause was litigation, in which the field round itself involved early in the season, and is still there. The cotton market is very much like the wily politician, it looks one way and works the other. Thus, on Feb. sth, spot cotton was quoted in New York at 5 15-16, for mid dling, and the best goods in Macon 5%, while August contracts opened at 5.96. On Feb. 9th, spots in the first city had ad vanced to 6 J 4 and f° 5% in Macon, with August futures at C. 25. Everything pointed to a liberal advance, but tired holders in both spots and futures found their offerings on the market like water running over Niagara Falls, and it sagged back of its own accord. However the exports kept pace with the receipts, and in our own market each and every day has shown a good demand, with all offerings held well up in the figures. Sell ers conceding % on sales, and August contracts losing 15 points. But the spot market in New York re mains at 6VI, and 5% in Macon. On last Saturday morning a Macon ware houseman called my attention to Mr. Neill’s circular letter, and his estimate oi the crop, and seemed so confident that the market must decline on this gentleman’s statement that I paused to try and remem ber when, he came so prominently to the front, and how often had he been right. Speaking from memory, he commenced es timating the crop some five or six years since, and as the season advanced revised his figures to fit the situation. Thus when he estimated this crop in October to be 10,500,000, his figures were regarded ter ribly out of the way by the trade, but when the last of February he revises them and says the crop will be over 11,000,000, he only tells us what It apparent ito all, and he does not show that, he had any information that was far reaching or any more reliable than many oher gentlemen possessed. For instance, the government had given the acreage, and the amount of fertilizers used could be estimated pretty closely, but above all the seasons on which de pended the amount to be made was an un known quantity. If, on the Ist of October, 1898, any cot ton buyer in Macon is asked to estimate the total crop, and revise his figures, the middle of February, 1899, and he misses it a half million bales, I will agree to quit the business. Mr. Neill in 18S5 was a cotton buyer in a small interior market in Georgia known as Atlanta, and the records show that for the season that progressive city reported her receipts as 169.407 bales, while last year they had fell to 91,775. Perhaps the difference can be accounted for in the way local cotton and through cotton is counted, and thus Mr. Neill’s figures are valuable or otherwise, as you look at them. For instance, he says the total consump tion of all countries will be 9,050,000 Amer ican cotton, while Ellison, of Liverpool, an acknowledged statistician of many years standing, tells the trade the world will need 9,600,000 of American cotton. Again Mr. Neill says: “The southern mills are doing well, and will probably consume 100,000 bales more than last year. But the-reverse is the case with the north ern mills.” Now, the New York Financial and Com mercial Chronicle, of Feb. 19th, tells us “the northern spinners have taken to date 432,000 bales more than last year.” Do you think they have bought it for fun. or is it because they think the south will not produce another crop. If so. I would suggest they kindly send an agerut down here, and I think we can convince them the Atlantic states will see to it that they are not short another season. Again, the Chronicle says: “There has been a further general demand for cotton goods during the past week, both on the spot and through mail orders. Buyers are arriving in the market more freely, and in both commission and jobbing circles the result is seen in an increasing business, the local jobbing houses, in fact, record ing the best week they have had for a considerable time. The improvement in the general tonepreviously noted is well maintained, and slight advances in some lines of staple cotton have been openly quoted.” In conclusion, I quote from a circular letter of Lehman Bros., a house known to the trade these many years: “Notwithstanding a renewed interest on the part of the public, the pressure was at times sufficient to cause a loss of 10 or 12 points. A part of this is unquestionably due to the developments in Cuban waters, and if the latest development‘has not induced considerable selling it has at least re stricted buying, towards which there has been a decided inclination, more particu larly encouraged by the buoyant stock market, which prevailed until the last few days. Now, if my warehouse friend will care fully weigh all the points here presented for his benefit. I think he will cotne to the conclusion there is nothing in sight to be frightened at, and that cotton must ad vance, because the present and former low prices were based on these heavy receipts and dull trade, the end of which is in sight.

FOURTH STREET COMPLETED, Paved With Granite Cubes and Turned Over to the City. ITS MANY ADVANTAGES, A Fair Comparison of the Cubes With Other Material Used in Other Cities. The werk of paving Fourth street has been entirely completed by the contractors, and has been turned over to the city for acceptance. It is the universal opinion of every one that has seen this street that it is the best piece of work ever done in the south. A pavement laid like this is practically indestructible, and in discussing it the matter of repairs never enters into the subject, as would be the case in discussing Other paving materials. It will be many ’ ears before this street will require any repairs, if at all, and the city need have no fears in sprinkling it as often and as freely as they see fit. for, unlike other paving materials, water will not injure it. On this line it would be well to quote the following editorial from the Engineering News of May 24th, 1894: “An asphalt pavement which won't wash is a curiosity which Philadelphians are now discussing. If the newspapers of that city can be believed, the director of public works- has forbidden further sprinkling of certain asphalt paved streets on the ground that the contractors who did the paving notified him that “indiscriminate” sprinkling of the pavement when heated by-a hot summer sun would seriously in jure it, and they would refuse to be hol{l en by their five years guarantee if any wa ter at all were put upon the pavement except under their supervision. In order to protect the city’s interest the director has vetoed street sprinkling, and now the citizens are wondering whether the next move will be to take the pavement in when it rains. Remembering the chronic Phil adelphia custom of deluging sidewalks with water, it is easy to sec that a street pavement which won't wash is not likely to prove popular there. Whether the ap plication of water would cause the asphalt to dissolve, melt or shrivel up in disgust at the quantity of the water which Phila delphia dispenses to its citizens, does not appear as yet; but if the pavement is real ly so “hydrophobic” as is claimed, we sug ’gest that it be prelected without delay by a coat of waterproof paint.” The class of pavement laid on Fourth street is also capable of maintaining any load that may be drawn over it. and with-, out the city being compelled to pass an or dinance prohibiting heavy vehicles from passing over its streets without being equipped with wide tires, as the following ordinance, which was passed in Jersey City last month, suggests: “The street and water board of Jersey City has introduced four important ordi nances. One to protect the asphalt pave ment of the Mercer street, driveway from being destroyed by heavy vehicles. “It regulates the sizes of the tires of the wagons driven over the drive. A wagon which, with load, weighs 2,000 pounds, must have tires at least three inches wide, and for each additional I,ooo'pounds an inch must be added, until 10.000 pounds is reached, the miaximum weight, -with fires eleven inches wide. This will prac tically exclude “heavy wagons from the drive.” following will doubtless be of in terest to the property owners in this city. John Whyte, master of public works of public works of Glasgow, Scotland, writes to Commissioner Moreland, of Detroit, Mich.: “The most durable and sanitary pave ment is undoubtedly granite. Pitch pine laid in blocks six inches deep we have found to last from six to seven years. The granite pavement lasts on heavy traffic streets thirty years. Then it only requires to be lifted and Belaid, when it is good for another thirty years, after which the stones are ready to be broken up.” Hon. Herman Myers, mayor of Savan nah, in his annual report for 1896, writes as follows: “Asphalt, while a pretty pavement, and, as claimed by some, the most sanitary of all pavements, unless kept absolutely clean, speedily becomes the most unsani tary -and injurious to the public’s health, cs well as offensive to the eyes. It accord ingly requires more attention than any other class cf pavements. The method of cleaning also makes it especially expen sive. The work is done by hand scrapers, the dirt being collected by carts as depos ited in piles by the scrapers. As far as I have been able to ascertain, the method in use here will compare favorably, both as regards expense and results, with that of any other city. It has been claimed that it would cost equally as much to keep other classes of pavement clean as asphalt pave ments are kept, with the same amount of traffic upon them. Experience does not bear this out. On granite pavements the horse sweeper can be used to great ad vantage. Such pavements ard* smooth enough to do the work well, and the pre liminary watering does no injury. Asphalt streets, though, cannot be swept, as gran ite and brick pavements are. The wetting required to prevent dust is injurious to the asphalt, as is evidenced by the fact that the asphalt'pavements in this city wear cut first in the gutters, where there is little or no traffic. Whatever, the ex pense, though, asphalt pavements must be cleaned continuously.” During the year 1596 the cost of repairs for asphalt streets in the city of Savannah was $4,366.84, while the repair/ of the streets paved with granite only reached a total cost of $3.50 during the same time.
