Cotton—The market was quiet, with fluctuations confined to a narrow rang*’. New York closed op Thursday over the holiday, and prices were some two or three point, lower. After the close of New York, however, Liverpool turned strong, and advanced smartly. Indicating a higher market early in the week. It can scarcely be said that crop accounts are better, for the Texas drought contin ues; but at the same time there are fewer complaints from the section east of the Mississippi. Generally speaking, prospects are not so brilliant as they were a month ago, but the crop seems more advanced than usual. The bureau report on the 10th will probably show a moderate reduc tion in the average condition, which will doubtless still be pretty high. So far there are no Indications of a renewal of the speculation in the summer months; the effect of the strong statistical position being in a measure offset by announce ment of curtailed consumption by stop ping of eastern mills. We may assume that there Is at present a large short In terest In the whole list. A considerable part of this Interest will take fright on the appearance of any menacing strength. The recent sudden firmness of Liverpool and the persistence of unfavorable reports from Texas may infuse such strength dur ing the coming week and cause more or iess of a flurry. Grain and Provisions—Wheat was quiet; It advanced over 2c from early prices, but ruled easier later, and closed only a small fraction higher. Upon the whole, crop accounts are fairly good. the government report on the 10th is expected to give some idea of the yield. The present prospects, added to the visible supply and supposed farmers’ reserves, do not attain propor tions sufficient to Justify the low prices now prevailing. There was a large reduc tion in the world’s visible supply, and. al together, wheat seems getting Into a healthier position. Corn and oats easy and still lower a fraction, owdng to fine crop conditions. Provisions were fairly steady all the week until Friday, when the bears took advantage of the dull state of the market, and indulged in a raid toward the close, breaking pork 30c and ribs 10 points. Stocks are very heavy, but prices should now be pretty close to the long-looked for bottom. Wm. T. Williams. Y'islble Supply of Cotton. The visible supply of cotton to July , as made up by cable and telegraph, is us follows.

New ?ork, July 3.—During the past week the “bear” element has found a fruitful source of selling in the exciting reports relating to the prospective Chicago con vention. Between the wild excitement of the silver delegates, the plots of Altgeld for controlling the convention, and the unwise and feeble tactics of certain of the eastern sound money leaders, It has been found easy to break prices by vigor ous short selling; and the fall in prices for the week has therefore been consid erable. The sales, however, have been almost entirely by professional operators. Private Investors have shown no disposi tion to part with their securities; and London, in spite of the weakness here, has evidenced a recovery of confidence by taking one hundred' thousand shares of stock, besides a good amount of bonds. The “bears” have found It possible to shake out a considerable amount of stock carried on margins; and that success has been the main cause of their persistence. These operations have produced a fever ish feeling, and have naturally fostered the prevailing distrust. This unsettle ment is likely to continue through the Chicago convention and may quite possi bly be aggravated by Its exciting devel opments. After that, the case of stiver goes before the people for four months of earnest discussion previous to the pop ular verdict at the elections; pending which there will be less material for the creation of speculative sensations. Rarely, In the history of national elec tions, have the people been called upon to choose between more vital Issues; and it Is to the last degree important that there should be a clear conception re specting the interests at stake. The pub lic choice Is between the continuance of a basis under which gold or Its equivalents may he demanded In the settlement of all contracts; and a basis under which silver dollars alone would be used In pay ments; such dollars being sixteen times THE MORNING "NEWS: MONDAY, JULY r, 1890. the weight of the gold dollar. At the present value of silver bullion, the silver dollar would need to weigh about thirty times the weight of tn gold dollar. In order to make the two colas of equal value. It follows, therefor*, that if, as demanded by the stiverites. any holder of silver bullion can have his metal mint ed Into dollars at the rate of sixteen weights of the white metal to one of the yellow, the dollars so coined would have an intrinsic or metallic value of only about one-half that of the gold dollar. It is proposed that this deteriorated dol lar shall be coined without limit, whether from silver Imported or that coming from the home mtnes. It is also proposed that these dollars shall be a legal tender to any amount in the liquidation of con tracts. Under this scheme, the United States would stand exposed to an Issu ? of stiver dollars limited only by the world s entire current production and Its accum ulated stocks of coined silver. What would prove to be the deprecia tion of the silver dollar, under such con ditions. it is impossible to tell. One of the first effects of the change would b for the European nations to exchange, as far as possible, their 1,890.000.000 of silver bullion and coin for our gold. Beside* that, under the natural law by which an inferior currency always displaces a su perior one. out supply of gold would leave the country. In this way. we should lose our gold circulation and become an ex clusively silver-paying nation with an at tendant enormous loss of the only stable form of money and a consequent contrac tion of the circulation. We should then be upon the same monetary basis a* China, Japan, Mexico and third-rate na tionalities. Provided silver kept Its present bullion value, our dollar would then be worth a fraction over one-half of its present valuation; and to that extent the pur chasing power of our entire paper circu lation woultT also be diminished. All our mercantile debts outstanding when this state of affairs took effect would become payable In this depreciated money, ex cepting those made under special contract payable in gold. The national debt and the interest upon It would be legally pay able in the same stuff; inasmuch as the law authorizing the bonds makes them payable “In coin,” without stipulation as to whether the coin shall be of silver or of gold. The many thousands of millions of real estate mortgages, and of bonds of every form, and the interest upon all corporate stocks, all of which are now payable In gold or its representatives, would then become payable In this silver money of unknown value. Thus, the enormous sum of national Investments and the wrealth which they represent would not only lose their stable gold standard of value, but would become enormously depreciated, and their value would be ever fluctuating with the oscillating price of silver bullion. The 2.700 millions of priv ate deposits In banks and trust compa nies would suffer In the same way, and so would the 1,800 millions of the workman’s accumulations In savings banks, as they would become payable In the same de preciated dollar. What would become of our foreign credit may be Inferred from the fact that we have from 1,500 to 2,OiK) millions of Investment securities out standing In foreign countries, a large part of which would become payable in this deteriorated eo^j. These are aome of the more obvious consequences that would Immediately fol low the adoption of unrestricted coinage of silver In the ratio of 16 parts of the white metal to one of the yellow. What would follow, It Is not difficult to foresee. Our credit system would be paralyzed, If not ruined. Capitalists who are conducting vast industrial enterprises would necessa rily be seriously embarrased. The ruin of producers would be Inevitable and great suffering of the employed classes would naturally follow. Such widespread disaster would no doubt produce a quick retraction of the destructive legislation, and every section of the country would become clamorous for a return to the gold basis. But the cost of the experi ment would be a terrible and lasting pen alty. The undoing of the mischief would not be the work of a year or two. It would take a generation to restore what we had sacrificed in organization, In rep utation, In credit, in wealth. In prosper ity, in industrial advancement, and In the gold resource needful to give us Shan cial stability. It does not need to be said how long we should have to carry the stigma of political Incompetence which such a blunder would fasten upon our principles of self-government. The cause of free government would be blighted the world over. BOOK NOTICES. "King Mammon and the Heir Appar ent,” by George A. Richardson. Arena Publishing Company, Copley Square, London. Paper, 50 cents. The character and purpose of this volume Is clearly In dicated .by its title. It deals In the main with the question of the inheritance of wealth. The author contends that the In heritance of wealth, beyond a certain modest amount at least. Is a fundamental wrong, and should be abolished. This contention he bases on two main princi ples: The right of every human being to a fair opportunity to labor; and the wrong involved In all claims to wealth that are not based upon some form of productive effort. The inheritance of wealth, he contends, violates both these principles. It violates the former because a person who inherits no wealth does not start level with one who Inherits, say, $1,000,000 or more; and It violates the latter because a person who Inherits wealth (“the heir apparent”) obtains it without any productive effort of his own. MAGAZINES. The July number of the North American Review opens with a most timely paper on “The Declaration of Independence In the Light of Modern Criticism,” by Prof. Moses Colt Tyler of Cornell University. “After the Coronation at Moscow” Is the title of an able article by Karl Blind, who discusses the future home and foreign policy of the newly crowned Russian czar, and "Some International Delusions” are cleverly described by the Rev. Dr. Francis E. Clark, president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. W. E. Smythe, chairman of the national executive com mittee of the national Irrigation congress* writes graphically of “The Stepchild of the Republic,” while the Hon. Charles W. Stone advocates his scheme for "A Com mon Coinage for All Nations.” An im portant contribution to the literature of the day Is a carefully prepared essay on “The Teacher’s Duty to the Pupil,” by his eminence, Cardinal Gibbons. A consid eration of the "Right of Privacy” is pre sented by John Gilmer Speed, and M. Romero, the Mexican minister to the United States, furnishes an Important re view of the differences existing between “Criminal Jurisprudence, Roman and An glo-Saxon.” The foregoing do not In clude all the good things In the number. North American Review. No. 3 East Fourteenth street. New York city The July number of the Arena is fully up to the usual excellent standard of that untrammelled and outspoken review. The Arena is unique among magazines in tts wide range of subjects. Its Catholicism and breadth of thought and Its fearlessness In dealing with all questions affecting the moral and social well-being of the people. It is essentially a free lance, recognizing allegiance only to the broad principles of truth. Justice, and liberty. Prof. Frank Parsons continues ’his series of papers on "The Telegraph Monopoly,” and John O. Y’elser furnishes a striking and suggestive paper entitled, “Are We Becoming a Homeless Nation?" Other articles of gen eral Interest are “The Imperial Power In the Realm of Truth,” “Theosophy and H. p. Blavntsky," "Woman In Society To day,” “Shall We Have a National Sani tarium for Consumptives?” “The Keeley Cure for Inebriety,” “Two Golden Vol umes.” and “An Interesting Represent ative of a Vanishing Race,” by the ed- Mor.

Tammany Times, 230 West Thirty-ninth street. New York. An important, powerful and timely lead ing article In the Engineering Magazine for July Is Edward Atkinson’s discussion of “The Cause and Remedy for Depression.'.’ The present unfortunate conditions are clearly traced to uncertain financial legislation and a deficient reve nue, and the conclusion enforced Ivy con cise tabular statements, so admirably ar ranged that they may be read at .11 glance, so plain that the logical deduction enforces itself, and so authoritative that their argument is unanswerable. Mr. At kinson's rank as an economist and sta tistician Is unexcelled, an.l the article is a valuable addition to the ixcellent serlec of papers on industrial economy appear, ing in the Engineering Magazine. Engi neering Magazine, Times building, New York city. The Electrical Review has Just complet ed Its twenty-eighth volume, which con tains some of the best newspaper work ever done by a technical Journal. In ad dition to giving thoroughly reliable news of the progress of electrical work In all Its branches, the Electrical Review has secured In the past six months a large number of unusually valuable and exclu sive articles on Important subjects. It printed the first official Interview with Prof. Roentgen and the only interview with Frof. Salvloni of the University of Perugia, Italy, who made some very in teresting and remarkable discoveries on the Roentgen ray. Eleciricai- Review, Times Building, New York City. The Bostonian for July opens with the Important announcement that beginning with the August number the publication will henceforth be known as the National Magazine. This step Is eminently well advised, as the magazine Itself has for some time been a coming periodical In the cosmopolitan field, but has been handi capped considerably by the local character of its original name. Under its new title, however, this prejudice will be done away with, and the magazine, which promises much, will soon find Its place in the front rank of the 10-cent periodical literature. The Bostonian Publishing Company, S3 Newburg street, Boston. Popular Astronomy for July Is a very satisfactory number. It contains some excellent articles, besides general and special notes and queries and short an swers. Goodsell Observatory, Northfield, Minn. WOOD PAV EMENTS. London Hus Accepted Them In Pref erence to Other Materials. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. The Interest of the puldic In the ques tion of street paving Is shown In many ways. The bicycle has done wonders, but beyond that there Is a growing recognition that the discomfort of bad paving is an Infliction that the ordinary citizen has no right to tolerate. It has been said by a modern traveler that a street In which the pedestrians cannot converse in com fort, by reason of the rattle of carriage wheels over the stones, is nowadays a' disgrace to any municipality. This is the keynote of the latest Im provements In street pavement. The ten dency is toward a paving which will save the nerve-racking din that Americans have too long.looked upon as unavoidable. The pavement of the future will be prac tically noiseless. For this purpose all tests show Indisputably the superiority of wood, whether considered In reference to safety, the facility with which a horse can recover his footing, the speed at which it is safe to travel, or the gradient at which It may he laid. Recently inquiries were made among a large number of drivers of different kinds of vehicles In London to ascertain their opinion in regard to the various pave ments laid there, with the result that 51 declared In favor of asphalt, 197 in favor of granite, 219 In favor of macadam and 750 In favor of wood. The general oppo sition to asphalt both there and here is significant. It is condemned by every person who ever drove a horse. Its surface becomes uneven causing a side-to-slde motion. It Is slippery in winter. It Is Inefficient, ex cept for streets where there is but little traffic, and it has beeh generally discard ed in Europe.

The new metal arch bridge at Niagara Falls will be noteworthy In two respects. The new bridge is to be built over the old suspension structure without Inter ruption to the traffic on the latter. The span from end pier to end pier will be 840 feet, making it the largest arch span In the world. The principal existing all metal arches are: • , . _ „ Span. Rise. Louis I, Oporto, Portugal 566 HO Garabit, e lance 542 170 Fni -Maria, Portugal ” 525 121 Kails' St. Louis bridge 520 47 Pnuerno, Ilaly 492 123 Washington bridge, New York, 519 91.7 Rochester Driving paik 428 07 The suspension bridge now In use which bus been familiar to all visitors to the great natural wonder for forty years will he kept in place until the new arch is ready, as It would be impossible to con st) ui 1 false works over the Niagara gorge to sustain a structure of this class. The span will have a rise of 150 feet from the level of the piers at the skew backs to the center of tho ribs at the craln of the arch, which point Is 170 feet above low water. The depth of the trusses Is 20 teot, and they will be 68.7 inches apart. The bridge will carry one tloor, 46 feet w.tde, divided longitudinally into three parts. On the middle portion, which Is 22 feet 9 Inches wide, will be two trolley tracks. Each side of these tracks will be a roadway for carriages 8 feet wide, and outside of these, raised 6 inches from the level of the roudway, will be foot paths. The construction of this remarkable span Is from plans of L. L. Duck, engineer of tho new East river bridge, between New York and Brooklyn, and the author of the plans by which the suspension bridge at Niagara was replaced by an arched bridge. The approaching or flanking spans will be 100 leet long on tho American side, and 210 feet on the Canadian side. The total meta! in the new structure will be about 4,d00,000 pounds. Every conildence Is expressel In Mr. Ruck's ability to carry out his plans. Tho replacing of the rail road bridge by another without an hour's Interruption of business was one of the engineering feats of a decade. Tiipse who have not seen the great structure at Niagara, which It Is Intended to replace will hardly real'.xe the stu pendous character of the undertaking. Imagine the task of replacing the s!m iPlc-st sort of bridge without interrupting trafllce, and then add about 1,000 per cent, to the di'Jleulty. This will give something of an idea of what confronts engineers and builders. In an undertaking of this nature the slightest error might be productive of In finite disaster. Every measurement must be accurate to a hair's breadth. Every portion of the great arch must perform Us particular share of the great combina tion that will be one of tho marvels of the world. All that la done must be accomplished quickly, for an afTair of this nature time Is indeed money. Every man who can be utilized will join the army of con struction. Perhaps no work of recent years has required, or will yet need, more •skilled labor. In fact, In bridge building It Is becoming unsafe to utilize labor of any other class. The bridge, when com plete, will, in truth, be a work of genius in point of construction, as well as point y>f conception. The work of preparing the material for the great structure has been in progress for some time, as little can be accom plished in an enterprise of this nature un til the preliminaries are complete. When the effort of placing the different parts of the bridge In position Is begun, Niaga ra will be one of the busiest of busy places. —Mistress: Well, 1 Bridget, how is your •husband?
