THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, ISA
COTTON.
VOLUME II. —NUMBER VTL
The receipts at the ports the past
week were 121,000 bales, compared with
78,000 last ytiar, and 93,000 the year be
fore. It is likely the receipts for this
week will be about 135,000 bales, com
pared with 104,000 last year, and 113,000
the year before; and the receipts at the
interior towns, 42,000 bales, compared
with 28,000 last year, and 36,000 the
year before.
RECEIPTS.
The daily receipts at all the ports, for
this week, for the past four years, are

NEW YORK.
This market has been quiet and easy
with a medium business for spots.
Sales, 9,000 bales, at a decline of one
quarter of a cent in the price. Con
tracts have been very active, with the
largest sales of any week since the mid
dle of last May. That week they were
197,000 bales, this week 182,000, with a
decline of three-eighths of a cent in the
early months and one-half of a cent in
the late months. The causes of this
decline are perfectly natural. There
was no good reason for the advance.
It was founded upon the Bureau report,
which was so glaringly untrue that we
are surprised that any one believed it.
Also many persons believed that the
action of tho Northern mills would
cause goods to rise, on account of their
scarcity, and thus help the price of
cotton. Also the stereotyped complaint
which is made every year of half a crop.
Also, speculators in tobacco and pork
had made a large amount of money,
and wanted to invest it. And then the
never failing allies of a bull movement —
the Southern dealers —helped the bulls
by buying all the Spring contracts they
could pay for. These ideas caused the
rise, and when the price had been
pushed up as high as possible it natur
ally fell of its own weight, because
thero was no foundation to support it.
LIVERPOOL.
This market has been quiet and
steady, with medium sales and no
change in the price. The sales of
American have been smaller than any
week in the past six, whilst the quan
tity in stock and afloat for Liverpool
is 88,000 bales more than last year,
same time.
FROST.
There was a light hoar frost on three
nights the past week, but there was no
damago to tho cotton crop, but rather
a benefit, as, where the growth of cot
ton was at all rank, it killed the leaves
and thus allowed the sun to ripen the
grown bolls, and cause them to open
before a killing frost comes.
FREIGHT.
Tho -freight on cotton from New
York to Liverpool in tho month of Sep
tember isr% a cent a pound, out on ac
count of the large quantity of cotton
ready to be shipped in November, the
price of freight is usually from 1 to 1%
cents a pound by steamers. This re
duces the value of cotton % to % of a
cent.
EXPORTS.
The exports thus far have been al
most entirely to Liverpool, the Conti
nent having taken but very little, only
8,000 bales, compared with 41,000 for
the same time in 1872. The large
amounts that are exported each week
from New York are not taken from the
actual stock there, but is cotton that
has been shipped from Memphis and
other points in the West on through
bills of lading to Liverpool.
SMITH, EDWARDS & CO.
From one of our exchanges, Smith,
Edwards & Cos., of Liverpool, England,
under date of Oqfober Ist, 1874, who
are considered good authority on all
questions relating to cotton, we give
the following extracts: “So much de
pends upon weather in America, that
we should say there is room for a va
riation of 300,000 or 400,000 bales—from
the conservative figures of four mil
lions of bales—either way, according to
the character of the season hencefor
ward. At this time last year, and even
up to December, the favorite figure
was 3,750,000 bales, and the Bureau
put out 3,700,000 bales as its final esti
mate, which turned out nearly half a
million below the mark. The year be
fore, the favorite estimate in the Fall
was 3,500,000 bales, the Bureau figure
being 3,450,000 bales, and the total crop
turned out 3,930,000 bales. These facts
show us the folly of attaching too
much wolght to the never ending cry of
damage to the crop. We should say
that both last year and the ono before
the outcry was louder than this one.
“It remains to be seen whether the
Bureau will prove more correct' this
year than it has been for the two years
past. We think continental spinners
hold considerably more cotton than
last year, and our own spinners may
hold somewhat less. Perhaps it may
be a fair guess to say that the invisi
ble stock of American cotton in Europe
and America, on September Ist, was
150,000 bales larger than last year.
The visible supply was also about 100,-
000 bales greater, so that tho actual
consumption of American cottoi\ in
Europe and Amerca for the past twelve
months must have been about 3,900,-
000 bales, leaving a surplus from last
year of 2(0,000 bales, which will be
carried over to the present one.”
MEMPHIS.
To show how unreliable many of tho
crop reports are, wo now hear by tele
graph that the late frosts about Mem
phis, Tennessee, have done great dam
age to tho cotton crop. They have
surely forgotten that heretofore they
have reported the crop would only bo
half of last year on account of the se
vere drouth having destroyed the cot
ton two months ago. How is this ? Can
frost injure cotton that has been burnt
up by drouth and killed in a day by
scorching winds? We hope to hear
from the Bureau an explanation of
this.
PROSPECTS.
Taking a broad view of the supply
and demand; plenty of cotton every
where and the dry goods trade dull,
both in this country and in Europe ;
we can see no reason for an advance
in tho price and believe it is to the in
terest of farmersdo sell their cotton as
fast as they can get it ready for mar
ket.
A Wonderful Thief.— We read in
one of our exchanges that the Balti
more penitentiary holds a horse-thief
who need not steal horses any more.
He was sentenced for five years. Be
ing an inventive genius, he made a
dummy in the exact likeness of himself
with a carved hand, in which he stuck
the brass check that tho keeper came
to receive when he locked the work
men up. After escaping so ingeniously
he was retaken, and then proceeded to
put his genius to a better use. He has
invented an improvement to the ma
chine for sewing shoes, which proved
so valuable when applied to the prison
machines that he was offered five
thousand dollars for it, but he is ad
vised not to sell. He will receive an
income of several thousand dollars a
year from the royalty. It is thought
that the Governor will pardon him,
and that he will steal no more horses.
Commissionaire. —There is a compa
ny of Commissionaires to be started in
Now York. The Times explains that a
Commissionaire is intended to be a
sort of Jack of all work. He will clean
clothing, collect bills, secure seats for
tho theatre, escort ladies to and from
entertainments in a proper evening
dress, carry your child, move your
piano, and attend your lady* when
making calls, shopping, etc., acting as
“ lackey,” delivering visiting cards,
protecting her by umbrella from the
sun and storm, or falling on a slippery
day. On all such occasions ho will ap
pear in elegant servant’s livery, im
ported from Paris and Vienna.
The Baltimore Gazette shrewdly sug
gests that eloping with a man’s wife
or daughter may be one of the Com
missionaire’s many accomplishments.
Lincoln.— Regretting that Lincoln
did not have a better eulogy, at the
unveiling of his monument, tho Rich
mond Dispatch says: “ Lincoln was
tho most conscientious and sensible
man in the whole Republican party.
He was the best friend we had in that
party. He wanted the Union restored
on patriotic and wise grounds. He was
opposed to pains and penalties, and
the reduction of the Southern white
people to a state of humiliation and
impoverishment for the gratification of
malice or for tho schemes of greedy
partisans. It was a woful day for the
South when he was assassinated.”
“Outrages.”— Tho trains of the Union
Pacific Railroad are said to be so infested
with gamblers and roughs that, unless a
first-class passage is taken, it is unpleas
ant as well as dangerous to travel on them.
The gamblers are all heavily armed, and
the conductors and brakesmen are-’ friend
ly to them, if they are not really in league
’•.i J-l rri,. nr-.™**
nothing to check tho abuso, and passen
gers, therefore, have begun the practice of
publishing cards upon their arrival in San
Francisco warning other persons of the
perils of the road —Baltimore Gazette.
Respectfully referred to Attorney
General Williams.
Dix.—The Herald says Gen. Dix is the
last hope of the Republican party.—
Should he fail in New York, the bottom
will be out of the tub. As the Free
man's Journal has declared that Dix’s
defeat will be entirely attributable to
Gen. Grant, it would seem that the
President is killing off the Radical
party in spite of some Democratic abuse
of him.
The Difference. —The only differ
ence between Adam and Beecher is
this: Old Adam said : “The woman
tempted me and I did eat.” Beecher
says: “ The woman tempted me and
I did not eat.”
In either case, acceding to Col.
Susan B. Anthony, the woman gets the
blame.
Grantism. —The Republican defeat in
Ohio and Indiana is now attributed to
“ Grantism.” If this be so, Grant de
serves a vote of thanks for doing more
for the Democracy than they could do
for themselves.
Going. —The latest rumor is that At
torney General Williams will bo ban
ished to Siberia—that is, nominated
for the Russian mission.
Big. —The daily income of tho New
York Herald for advertisements alone
amounts to $4,000.
Count Von Arnim’sCase. —A dispatch
from Berlin to the London Times , in
relation to Count Von Arnim’s case,
says, in explanation of this somewhat
mysterious affair, that Bismarck be
came indignant at the Count’s want of
judgment in preferring an ultramon
tano monarchy in France to a compar
atively liberal and pacific ropublic, and
determined to remove him. Not wish
ing, however, to offend the Count, tho
Prince wrote him censorious letters,
which he expected would induce tho
Count to tender his resignation of the
French Ambassadorship. This Von
Arnim refused to do, and was finally
absolutely dismissed, and took with
him those letters of Bismarck’s, which
are now represented to be so fearfully
offensive. The Times' dispatch also
says it is reported that the letters have
been publicly offered for sale. For
these things, then, the great, wise and
noble statesman, Bismarck, pride of
Germany, wonder of the world, puts
an old man in prison.
[Baltimore Sun.
A wealthy Avenue merchant is re
ported as having said: “ I always feel
happy when I am advertising, for then
I know that, waking or sleeping, I have
a strong, though silent orator working
for me; one who never tires, never
sleeps, never makes mistakes, and who
is certain to enter the household from
which, if at all, my trade must come.”
When the mother of “the boy of tho
period” wonders what ails him, she
reads the announcement that “chest
nuts are both cheap and abundant,”
and turns away from the mournful in
tilligence, sad-eyed but satisfied.

THE STATE FAIR.
Result of the Prize Drill.
Atlanta, Ga., 20th October, 1874.
This was probably the day of the
week. Over fifteen thousand were
present on the grounds. The military
drill closed this afternoon in a grand
success for Cos. B, of Augusta, which
gets the first prize. The Cadets of At
lanta second, Governor’s Guards of At
lanta third. The drilling of the Jones
boro Zouaves and the Fulton Blues, of
Atlanta, on universal admiration. —
After the announcement was made,
cheers were proposed for Oglethorpe,
Cos. B, and joined in heartily by all ex
cept the Cadets. Capt. Henderson re
marked in line that he did not think
Cos. B entitled to the prize, as it had
made many blunders, &c. Lieut. Fos
ter stepped forward and said he did
not think the Cadets sustained their
Captain in his opinion ; some answer
ing that they did, Lieut. Foster said
his company spurned the insinuation.
Considerable feeling has been gotten
up, and fears of an unpleasant result
were apprehended, but everything is
now quiet. Capt, Henderson is not
sustained by the public. There is but
one opinion about it, and that is that
Cos. B not only won it fairly, but is the
best drilled company in the State.—
Three out of the five judges were from
Atlanta. Augusta had only ono—Lieut.
P. L. Cohen—who, as chairman, an
nounced the result. Its uniform is
unanimously pronounced the hand
somest on the grounds, and the sol
dierly bearing of the men greatly ad
mired.
The display of all departments of the
Fair is fine. The races wore witnessed
by thousands. It is the grandest fair
ever held in the State.
Gordon’s brigade hold a reunion to
night. A rousing speech was made by
Gen. Lawton. Gordon was presented
with a handsome medal by the wives
and widows of his men, inscribed “ Oui
Hope.” The testimonial was a touch
ing one, indeed, and as such received.
The grand military ball is now in full
blast. The beauty of Georgia shines
resplendent.
The weather is fine, but thero are
prospects of rain on the morrow.
All well. Company B leaves for
home in tho morning. Give them a
hearty welcome. They have done the
Fair honor. W. T. D.

SOHENOK’S PULMONIC SYRUP.
Schonck’s Sea Weed Tonic, Schonek’s Man
drako Pills, are the only modicinos that will
euro Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently modicinos that will stop a cough
will occasion tho death of tho patient; they
lock up tho liver, stop tho circulation of tho
blood, hemorrhage follows, and in fact they
elog tho action of tho very organs that caused
tho cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyopepsia are tho
causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consump
tion. Many persons complain of a dull pain
intliosido, constipation, coated tongue, pain
in the shouldor-blado, feelings of drowsiness
and restlessness, the food lying heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity and belch
ing up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a
disordered condition of tho stomach or a tor
pid liver.
Persons so affected, if thoy take ono or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in those cases
be suddenly checked, will find the stomach
and liver clogged, remaining torpid and in
active, and almost before thoy are aware tho
lungs are a mass of sor<H, and ulcerated, the
rosult of which is doath.
Schenck’s Pulmonio Syrup is an expecto
rant which does not contain opium or.any
thing calculated to chock a cough suddenly.
Schenck’s Sea Woed Tonic dissolves tho
food, mixes with tho gastric juices of tho
stomach, aids digestion and creatos a raven

When tho bowels are costive, skin sallow, or
