kels to the amount of sl,” and Elder
iwn, who donated “one chord of wood
l some pum’kins” all to the value of $2
and the minister was supposed to go and
the wood himself); there were “ten yards
dry goods, $1:30,” which the merchant’s
e brought, and which her husband had

nderfully made, cabbages and potatoes,

sang the low, sweet refrain, until in the

in short skirls, winding slowly beneath an

maiden in a scarlet frock was chosen,whose

And then the supper of “baked meat and

voice at t ie table in eloquent thanksgiving
for being thus “blessed in basket and store,”
while his wife went down cellar after the
butter, which they had forgotten, and
made the tea out of the package the groc ,-r’s
wife brought, and put in some more out of
her own tea caddy to make it strong enough.
And what quantities of beaus and pickles
and frosted cake there was left —enough to
save the minister’s wife from taking

at the pretty comedy and the winds watt
the old, old story to the lonely pines, and
the ml lister’s wife scrapes up the pumpkin

up the mud off her parlor carpet and won
ders how she will ever get things put to

THE LIVERPOOL COTTON CORNER.
Ita History—Closing Scenes and Col
lapse.
From the Sew York Commercial Bulletin.
Tho history of the fcJteenstrand corner ia
practically the history of the Liverpool
cotton market since last December. It may
not be correct to say that the operation was
actually contemplated so far back, but
there is no doubt that the course of action
consistently pursued since that time by the
operator chiefly, concerned directly led up
to it. In the closing months of last year
the prevailing estimates of the cotton
crop for 1888-’B9 wore from 7,150,000 to
7,250,000 bales, and under tbeir in
fluences prices seriously declined. Mr.
Steenstrand did not believe in these esti
mates, looking for a maximum of 7,000,000
bales; believing further that, even were
his es ima e too low, prices had touched a
point which made cotton on its merits a
good purchase. He acted on his convic
tions, confining his attention at first to near
deliveries. At each successive stage as
these matured, prices had improved and he
was able to resell the cotton taken up by
him at a profit on the spot, always incroas
ing his interest in the months to come,
being able to do so at a considerable dis
count. In April and Slay the idea of the
corner appears to have taken definite shape
and been vigorously acted upon. His
convictions that he had rightly
gauged the position must have been
strengthened by his success unto that time,
and the fact that prices had risen 13-1(54
for Ainericau on the spot and for “futures”
some %and. from the beginning of December
to the beginning of May shows how much
he must have benefited financially. Under
contemplated short time in the manufactur
ing dis:rlcts prices subsequently receded
about }.{d. per pound. Tuis was more than
counteracted, however, by the growing
fear among spinners and “bear” operators
that the crop would fall decidedly short
of what they had been counting upon,
and tho first three weeks of August saw a
rise of no less than %and. per pound. During
the closing week of that month there was
a decline, prevented from assuming serious
dimensions by further free purenases by
Mr. Steenstrand. The upward movement
was resumed in September, the highest
point, 6 52-64d., being touched on the 9th,
with intervening breaks. After that time
fluctuations were considerable until the
last day of the month opened with Septem
bers at G 45-G4d. and tho market in a highly
excitable state.
In order to give a clearer idea of the
scene on that day, it will be well to explain
that the “cotton future” business in Liver
pool is transacted on the Exchange flags, a
large, uncovered quadrangle, partially in
closed on three sides by the exchange
buildings and oaths fourtu by the city hall.
To these flags the public have free access,
and are constantly used by pedestrians as a
short cut between impor ant thoroughfares.
In ordinary times the method of doing
business on the flags is free from the noise
and apparent excitement almost daily to
be noted in our cotton exchange.
Buyers and sellers 14 roam around in,
to us, an apathetic mood, out of which they
are only occasionally aroused by the near
approach of closing time. The presence of
the public in the shape of a constant
stream of passers-by is thus no binderance
to trading. When the anticipation of un
usual excitement delays the ordinary way
farer and attracts besides a crowd of
cu. ious outsiders, it can easily be seen that
the “pack” may be so dense as to impose
upon those who have sales or purchases to
effect physical exertions to attain their ob
ject, of which strenuous shouting is the
least exhausting. The closing scenes of the
“corner” wereeuacied under just such condi
tions, and were in that respect an exact
reproduction of the famous “Hanger cor
ners” of 1879 and 1881. Here the likeness
ends, however, for where the “Ranger cor
ners” closed strong the “Steenstrand cor
ner” ignommiously collapsed; for it soon
became apparent that instead of the ex
pected rush of “boars” to cover a supposed
short interest, there was to boa wild scram
ble on the part of “bulls” who had been
riding on the back of the chief operator to
get out, and that ho himself, far from stay
ing the stampede, was a seller too.
The scare was complete, and the
difficulties already described of mak
ing way amongst the crowd of
purely spectators, aud the fear of being
unable to discover in it tne needful buyer
intensified tne Tright of the whilom '‘hulls.”
The mark it was broken up into twos and
threes, and with each separate knot differ
ent prices wore recorded on a descending
scale until 6 lfi-Gld was touched, a fall from
the opening of nearly per pound. The
last price of all was 0 22-G4l, the "corner”
closing thereat with the leading operator’s
wealth less by some $250,000 thau what hi
could have figured it at before the first
transaction of tue day was recorded.
In the “corner" of 1879, Morris Hanger
handled 115,00 ) hales out of a st ck of 142,-
000 bales of American, and In that of 1881,
about 400,000 Dales ouc of a stock of 515,000.
Iu the latent neMr. Hfcen .strnnil is reported
t) have ha idled s >uie 80,000 halos nut of a
stock of 23J, 090 !*!o. In this re

profitable ou that account. Both the
THE MORNING NEWS t SATURDAY. OCTOBER l!>, 1889.
“Ranger corners" were followed by heavy
declines in prices, owing to the pressure of '
the stocks of carried making their speedy
realization necessary. Cable advices since
tae close of last month show no such great
weakness this time, and, with the snort
time movement prae icallv abandoned, it is
more t iau probable that there is little risk
of failure to dispose of the stock at a re
munerative level.
The moral character of such business as
makes these "cornering” operations po si
ble has been frequently discussed, and the
discussions are mostly always of a heated
character. They caunot be said to have
done much good. Whilst there is a purely
speculative business, people selling what
they hVe not got and others buying what
they don’t want to receive, there will
always be some to push an undue advan
tage of either accident or foresight to an
extremity. The lessons which should be
conveyed can be taken to heart all the same,
and if spinners have learned, with this
latest experience, that their right use of the
speculative department of the cotton mar
ket is to cover their yarn contracts by pur
chasing “futures,” and not to sell the yarn
they make and the cotton from which it has
to be made at the same time, they at least
will be in a great degree free from the
danger of another such ordeal as they and
their employes have just passed through.
Not the least interesting feature iu con
nection with the corner was the quick dis
patch given to steamers arriving with
cotton during the closing days of the month.
Tbo Aurania, which left this port with 1,340
bales on Sept. 21. arrived in Liverpool mid
night Sunday, Sept. 29, and by 11 a. m.
Monday its en;ire c irgo of cotton was dis
charged, warehoused and ready for delivery
on contracts. Ralle Bros, received and
warehoused 3,185 bales in seventeen hours,
carrying them a mile and a half from
steamer to warehouse, and a cargo of 4,600
bales from Savannah by the steamer K ith
leen was in the warehouse iu Liverpool
within twenty-two days from time of being
put on board, beating all previous records
between the two ports.
FOUND IN THE WILDERNESS.
A Railroad Lost on the Way to Deep
Water.
Dorchester, Liberty CouTY,OA.,Oct.
15.' —Editor Morning Sens: The good book
tells us that many centuries ago a multitude
of people were slain with tue jawbone of
an ass. The good people of Georgia should
feel a special interest in that passage of the
scriptures, for to a similar fate they seem
doomed if some means for their salvation
are not soon found to come between the
long-suffering people and the octopus-like
state legislature. Month after month it
drags its slow length along, and to what
purpose® The one really weighty and im
portant question this session has been the
state road matter, and that could have been
settled in a business-like and equitable
manner in forty-eight hours if it
could have been left to a dozen
good business men like Representative
Gordon of Chatham. The trouble is that
there are seldom so many as one-tenth of
the legislators of Georgia who are compe
tent when It comes to the disposal of real
weighty business matters. The fact of the
case is that the people of Georgia are suf
fering from over-legislation, and some re
lief is needed. The attitude of the legis
lature upon questions pertaining to the
railroads, and also guano dealers, is unjust,
and, much more, it is ridiculous. The rail
roads are the developers and civilizers of
trie country, and, instead of trying to legis
late them into bankruptcy, they should be
encouraged.
I will give you beforehand a list of a few
bills that ought to be passed by the next
legislature:
1. Asa measure of economy, and as
a needed protection for the interests
of tne people at large, that the legislature
of Georgia meet only every six, eight, or
even ten years.
2. That the sessions be strictly limited to
what may be fouud a reasonably sufficient
length of time to transact the business of
the state.
3. That the governor be empowered to
appoint a legislative “fool killer,” whose
duty it shall be to condemn the incompetent
members and send them home on full pay,
and leave the competent there to dispatch
the business of the state. (This would be
cheaper iu the end.)
Again, referring to the legislative policy
toward railroads, Jet me, in this connection,
relate a sad incident which I “chanced
upon” recently while traveling in that po -
tion of Liberty county adjacent to Mclntosh
county. While I was wending my way
along the desolate “barrens” in the section
of country alluded to, I heard a low, sad
sobbing and wailing in the distance, seem
ing to fill all the still air with its sad re
frain. Coming nearer and yet nearer the
strange sound, what think you I found? It
was a poor, little, young railroad; a
veritable little railroad in chrysalis.
It was a sad sight, and moved me to pity—
so much so indeed that I sat down by the
side of the poor sick thing and took its
head in my lap and t ied to soothe it. Its
one cry was for mamma! “Who is your
mamma?” I asked. It did not know, poor
little infant, but said that its earliest recol
loction was its baptism by the Georgia
legislature, and that since that time it had
lain out all alone in the wilderness; that
now and then its wet nurse would come
along and give it suck, but with it all it got
no stronger —rather worse. Boor thing I
it was habited only in its earliest baby
clothes. Asked if no doctor had been to
see it, it replied that its nurse had been to
seek the aid of Dr. Plant and Dr. Haines,
but that they replied that they did not
practice in tnat bailiwick. Said its nurse
bad also consulted New York and London
doctors, and that they did say what was
good for it, but no one could be found to
pay for putting up the prescription. I told
it to try and crawl off and go somewhere.
Said its nurse soemed to think it only
wanted water—deep water, when it haA
never yet reached the water age. Actually,
like Haggard’s “She,” I could see the poor
road drying up and withering before my
eyes. So I tried to console the poor
thing by telling it that pernaps it was all
for the best that it should die in infancy
rather than live a fitful, sickly life at the
mercy of its godfather, the Georgia legisla
ture; that where it went after death it
would find mauy more little angel railroads.
I tried to show that poor little road what it
was escaping at the hands of the railroad
commission and the Georgia legislature, and
I think I partly succeeded, for I left it rest
ing easier and less fretful, with the sad
autumn wind. strewing its bed with sweet
smelling leaves aud murmuring a low, soft
lullaby to the poor, sick little road.
