Eighty million dollar* in bills wore received
St Atlanta a day or two ago, the mammoth
packages of money filling five large dry goods
boxes and making in all more than a dray
load. None of the bills were current, how
ever. as they represent 'nothing in God's
earth now and naught in the waters below it,"
They were confederate bills of tho rarest type.
The huge pile of genuine confederate
money was shipped from Richmond
Vu., tho former capital of the con
federacy, and is now the property
of Charles D. Darker, No. [9O South Forsyth
street. Atlanta. The money Is of every do
moniation Issued by the departed nation! and
in the big collection are bills of tho rarest
type. 'lucre are hills Issued during every
year of the war. Thousands of them are very
valuable as relics, hut the great number of
them Mr. Barker has on hand will make them
so common as to bring but little on the mar
ket. This jsO.ftki.OOOof confederate money has
been all along supposed to have beeu destroyed
This is undoubtedly the largest lot of confed
erate money In the world.
Prom some statistics Just returned to tho
governor s ottlce by State Treasurer Harde
man it becomes painfully fepnarent that the
old soldiers of the confederacy and their wid
ows ‘are passing away fast. Friday Col. Hur
deman sent in his report of the lr.onev paid
out for pensions since March 1. It shows that
the crippled soldiers of Georgia have received
during the year $181.2%. There is a decided
falling off in the number of old soldiers who
have been drawing f lot) a year for ‘he'ossof
a limb or for total disability. In nest there
were I.iXW pensioners under this head, but
from Col. Hardeman s figures there are now
only 773 pensioners under this head, show
ing that nearly 300 have died since ISB3 Col
Hardeman . will have his report for
the widows' fund ready in a few days
Capt. YV. H. Hat risen of the executive nffl ,-e
who receives all applications for pensions,
stated that the widows of the confederate
soldiers were decreasing at an alarming rate.
Since last year ninety-one of them have died
and as quite a number have not renewed their
applications for pensions It is presumed many
of them are dead. Last year there were
eighty three deaths among the widows hut
this year there will be more than one huudred
besides three marriages.

inches high and is well filled with squares,

he has a 4-acre lot that will average as good
as the specimen exhibited.
Montezuma Record: The melon growers are
complaining about the loss of vines which
< hrivel up and die from the time they first
commence to put out runners until melons as
large as base balls have made their appear
mice. Some of the growers have lost more
than half of their vines in this way. and the
more times the piece of land has been planted
in melons the heavier the loss. We were
told by a farmer who claims to
know r both from observation and experience
that the first year a body of land
has been planted in melons it was a good
crop the second year, the vines are very pro
ductive, but the melons are very small: the
third year the vines commence to die. and
those that live do not bear large melons, and,
he adds, that if you wish to <om<* out oven
you had better not plant the fourth time on
the .same piece of land, l here seems *to b©
no preventative for saving the vines, and the
only way yet found to make a successful crop
is to avoid planting the same piece of laud in
succession.

Stock Exchange was extremely dull, sales of
stocks amounting to onlv 45.784 shares, and of
railway and miscellaneous bonds $369 1100.
These totals are unusually small, and the
dullness is explained by the absence of many
speculators at the races and country resorts.
Considering the inactivity the temper of
speculation was quiet but firm The Viears In

New York. June 17.—The Sun’s cotton re
view says: "Itwiisa liquidating market on
long side, owing to the decline in Liverpool.
Grop advices were generally favorable. Cotton
goods were duil and depressed. Stocks of
raw cotton here and abroad were large, and
the financial situation unfavorable in this
country. It was a waiting market hero, pend
ing further developments in Liverpool. Prices
declined 6 to 8 points, closing steady, with
sales ot 78,400 bales. Liverpool declined 2Vj
to S points, closing quiet, with spot sales of
B,IXIO bales New Orleans declined 10 points.
Receipts at the ports wore 8,557 against 2 2AI
bales this dav last week, and 4 936 last year.
Spot cotton was quiet and unchanged at 8 1-lOc
for middling uplands, and sales of 104 bales
for spinning. Southern markets generally
quiet and unchanged. Galveston and Wd
mlngton advanced ‘,O. New Orleans sold 7uu
bales.”
New York. June 17.—Riordan & Cos. say of
cotton; "The week has been an active and
exciting one in the cottonmarkot, and. though
fluctuations have been wide and frequent,
there has been, generally speaking, a further
and unmistakeuble growth of bullish senti
ment. Though Liverpool and Manchester
have shown a disposition both yesterday and
to-day to call a halt in the advance, there has
been no considerable break as yet in our mar
ket. and tho close to-day was steady,
with 7.99 c bid for August. Prices here
have boon in a largo measure sustained bv
the sentimental buying which invariably fol
lows an advance and this buying. In turn,
has beon stimulated by vague talk ot a coming
coiner in August cotton: but tho men who
engineer comers do not talk about their in
tentions before hand: and the largo stocks
which still confront us would make manipiila
tion of a corner at this time an exceedingly
difficult and dangerous job. Tho last
orop reports of tho Financial Chronicle, pub
lished this morning, are very favorable: and
unless Liverpool resumes her upward move
ment next week we fear that it will be im
possible to sustain prices in our market. Any
break that may occur would probably bo ac
celerated by the forced liquidation of long
cotton bought during the recent advance.
But everything depends, just now. upon the
attitude of Liverpool. Our own faith in tho.
permanence of the improvement abroad has
been rather shaken by the tone of to day's
cables, and though the upward flurry may not
yet be over, we fool much more inclined to
sell than to buy a present prices."

c hu-ago. June 17. —The corn market broke
down to-day. The drop was not so sharp as
was the advance Friday. There was, however,
a reduction of about lo per bushel. Tho
French duty question was more clearly un
derstood. Cables were numerous saying tho
action was only on hay and straw, with no
prospects of other removals. It was also es
tablished by past records that France only
takes 17.000.000 to 25,000,000 outside com on an
average, and that the question of the free ad
mission of coarse grains was not so very im
portant to American grain merchants after all.
jhe sentiment at the start was easier.
The first trades were anywhere
from >Bc to 54c under final figures, from
