In the Nashville Christian Advocale Bishop Keener reviews to some length t|, e works of “Unrighteous Mammon” in Uu . 1 0 f co u<m speculation, 1 He says that ‘the mercantile world in tbe South and West has been and is now controlled by the wholesale gamb ling and massive frauds of cotton fu turns—that the centers of New York, yieded Liverpool, and New Orleans have to this colossal scheme of hazard staple until the has production effect of the Southern no upon ils market value.” The Bishop has made a careful study of tbe cotton situation, and he goes on as follows: "Eight millions of bales certainly do, and must have, a fixed relation to tbe consumption and de maud for cotton in the factories of Great Brilian and of the Northern States. Such relation should primari ly determine its price iu the markets of the world; but it does not. This was clearly seen in the reduced figures at whica the last crop was sold by the planter. If the agriculturist cannot have the benefit of the enchanted worth of ^ un versa1 short crop, he is at sea in all his calculation.” have During beenIsoldlm the past three months there New \ ork and else where *>0,000,000 of bales of cotton, or seven times the kctual product of the entire crop for the year 1892. This would be.equal to the average yield of twenty-eight crops in one year.
