This market has been dull and weak,
with a very small business for spots ;
sales only 6,000 bales, at a decline of
one-quarter of a cent. Contracts have
been very active ; sales, 225,000 bales,
at a general decline of one-half a cent.

broken down the strong feeling of se
curity in their position that the bulls
have relied on for a month past, and
the consequencs was a weakening in
the price.
LIVERPOOL.
This market has been dull, at a de
cline of % of a cent; heavy receipts at
our ports; large exports from this
country ; and a dull state of trade at
Manchester have been the causes of
this continued weakness.
watts & co.
• Thfe old reliable house of Liverpool,
England, seems to be natural bulls.—
For a long time now, they have thought
well of cotton, and still it has gone
down They say in their circular, under
the date of November 27th, “Whilst
upon this subject we would add
that we ourselves have for some
weeks past regarded a crop of four
millions of bales in America this sea
son as highly improbable, but we must
confess that the recent very heavy re
ceipts have shaken our confidence in
the deductions we have heretofore
drawn from the reports of acreage, con
dition,” etc. Now if this paper should
reaeh these parties we would say in all
kindness to them that they have .been
imposed upon by interested parties,
and if they will allow us a little egotism
we will tell them Miere to get the fact
from parties who are not interested,
and who have by far the greatest op
portunity of getting correct knowl
edge of the crop at all times. \Ve re
fer to the Financial Chronicle, of New
York, and to the writer of these papers.
Two years ago we underestimated the
crop only 30,000 bales. The Bureau
and most other authorities missed it
half a million. Last year we started
out with 4,250,000 bales September Ist,
and afterwards reduced our estimate to
4 125 000, and the crop was 4,170,000,
only missing it 80,000, before a single
bale of the crop was delivered, and
finally under estimating it only 45,000,
when many other estimates, notably,
the Bureau, Mobile and New Orleans,
missed it 500,000. This year we started
out September Ist with an estimate of
4.100,000 bales, although we were 500,-
000 bales larger than some, and 1,000,-
000 bales larger than others, we are
likely to be too small ours-. lves. We
have no interest in deceiving any one.
But we will assure the Messrs, Watts
& Cos., and all other European readers
of these papers, that their sources of
information, except such as may come
from reliable private persons, are not
to be depended on ; and we could give
the reason for our opinion, but do not
care to publish it, or to tell all we know.
LARGE BEAR INTEREST.
For the past seven months we have
been assured by the bull party that the
bear interest was a very large one;
that they had largely oversold the
market, and that this w'ould be seen to
put the price up ; in fact, this has been
the principal reason given by most
bulls why the price would rise, as they
would soon be cornered. But as mouth
after month has passed, and the mar
ket has steadily declined, we begin to
believe that the bears themselves start
and foster these reports of their weak
condition, so the bulls may continue to
biiy from them, and thus continue to
pour gold into their already overloaded
coffers.
HALF CROP.
This hackneyed and stereotyped
term does not mean what it is sup
posed to by most persons. In the
Spring of the year you see a peach or
chard where the trees are covered with
blooms. Soon after you find over half
of them have fallen off, and still later
you may find one-half of the young
peaches on the ground, and the farmer
ib faibj (Eangtihitionalist.
thinks his peach crop will be a failure,
as “it has all shed off.” But this shed
ding is only an effort of nature to re
lieve the tree of the fruit which would
break it down, and from its quantity
spoil the quality. Later on, the farm
er finds there are just as many peaches
on the trees as they will bear. This
applies as well to cotton. The farmer
plants 100 acres in cotton and hopes to
make 30 bales. If the Spring and Sum
mer is a good one, as t s was, he goes
over it, and asks his ne.fcubors to look
at his fine cotton crop. Being in a pleas
ant mood they all conclude there is fruit
enough on the plants to make 60 or 75
bales, and so calculate. But after
awhile the weather becomes wet or
dry, it does not matter much which,
and the plants being heavily over
loaded with squares and blooms, they
shed off and fali upon the ground. The
average is that fully one-half the
squares and blooms fail to make cotton
every year. The farmer seeing this
embryo fruit upon the ground, at once
says he is ruined, and cannot make
over half a crop, but when he comes to
gather it ho finds it much better than
he expected, and often makes more
bales than he planted for. This is the
true history of the half crop stories,
and the same thing occurs every year,
but sometimes worse than others.
PROSPECTS.
We can see no prospects ahead for
cotton to rise sufficient to pay for the
cost and risk of holding it.
SHOULDERS OR HIPS P
Delicate Suggestions for the Ladies—
Information for Masculine Paul
Prys.
Mrs. Swisshelm is jjot to have things
all her own way among the dress re
formers. There is another Mrs. Rich
mond in the field, in the person of a
Mrs. Woolson, who has written a book
in regard to the manner in which the
garments should be supported. The
subject is too delicate a one to be
handled otherwise than gingerly,
though lovingly, by the Evening Re
publican, but what follows from a cor
respondent of the New York Tribune
is both proper and interesting :
With the earnest and well-intention
ed work of an earnest and good woman
like Mrs. Abba Goold Woolson, one
should at least deal thoughtfully and
respectfully, however one differs from
her. It is therefore to be hoped that
Mrs. Woolson’s new volume on “Dress
Reform,” which Roberts Brothers are
about to publish, will not be met by
the pert flippances with which crusty
bachelors and light-minded mkids have
wont to treat a work of this sort.
Mrs. Woolson’s book is entitled to a
fair hearing. It is composed of lec
tures delivered in Boston, during the
Spring of the present year; four of
them by well-known and successful
lady physicians, and the other by Mrs.
Woolson, herself. It is another at
tempt to set the world right on a mat
ter in which the wicked world seems
very obstinately determined to go
wrong; and it will probably convince
few, save those who are always ready
for sedition, always prepared to be-
We have in the frontispiece, the long
familiar contrast between the Venus
of Milo and a modern belle.
The Venus Victrix stands there, in
the changeless grace of her eternal si
lence, just as she was in the very first
picture of the sort. But the northern
belle changes her adornments in every
successive plate ; and nearly always
for the better. Really she looks very
pretty, even here, whefe she is posing
as an illustration of naughtiness ; only
her dress with its long train is a house
dress and should not be belied by the
coquettish little hat perched upon the
fluffy hair. The Venus is evidently
net dressed for the street, ei! her ; so
mademoiselle’s hat is altogether un
necessary to the contrast. Now every
modern belle would no doubt be a \ e
nusif she could—the t.oible is that
she can’t; and so she must content
herself by trying to be a pretty girl.
But, says Mrs. Woolson, let her be pret
ty and healthy at the same time. Cer
tainly, gentle lady ; I agree with you
there ; and unless she is reasonably
nealthy she will not long be pretty.—
But how is this marvellous combina
tion of happy and healthy and hand
some to be best attained l There is
the question which Mrs. Woolson has
tried finally to settle, and there is
where we are forced to take issue with
her.
Are women’s shoulders made of cast
iron any more than their hips? If you
overweight them shall they not ache ?
I think the casts of the female figure
in a museum of anatomy would con
vince any unprejudiced observer that
feminine hips are quite as well calcu
lated to bear burdens as feminine
shoulders are. But in on© respect
Mrs. Woolson and her sister reformers
are unquestionably right; and that is
that a reasonable woman should not
allow her dress to be cumbered by such
a weight of trimming that her freedom
of locomotion is impeded by it, and
walking is rendered unendurably fa
tiguing. One would not care to be
more healthy than the average English
woman, unless one desires to be a wan
dering Jew and outlive all one’s friends;
and yet the average English woman
dresses, save in two important particu
lars, precisely after the model of her
American sister, except that her taste
in the arrangement of the dress is in
finitely poorer. The English woman’s
walking-dresses are* simpler and less
heavily trimmed, and her boots are
thicker and looser and broader in the
sole. It may seem a startling proposi
tion, but I assert that nothing will
make a woman’s back ache quicker
than wearing tight boots, If I were an
M. D., I could no doubt enter into a
learned explanation of this fact—as it
is, I simply state it. Let any woman
wear the clothes of the present time,
made suitably for the occasion, and I
venture to believe that her costume
will be as healthful as anything can be,
short of coats and pantaloons.
I don’t myself think that coats and
pantaloons would make women any
stronger, or more healthy ; but I dare
not speak with undue positiveness
about an experiment I have never
tried. One brings to the front Dr.
Clarke, the author of “Sex in Educa
tion,” with a certain hesitation, because
to Mrs. Wooison and the earnest and
thoughtful women, who share her
views, he is such a bete noire; but, low
be it spoken, the experience of count
less other women proves him to be a
good physician; and to my mind there
was much force in something he said
the other day to a young lady of my
acquaintance. Looking over her attire
of tasteful skirt, and basque, and over
skirt, heavy frieze walking jacket and
soft felt hat, he said : ’ “I see nothing
harmful here—l have no fault to find.
It could scarcely be better.”
A-UOITSTA-, GA„ TUESDAY MORINTIjS^Gc, DECEMBER 22, 1874
“But the corsets,” said she; “must
we give up those ?”
“ By no means,” was the reply ; “ I
consider them a necessary and useful
support. Because they can be abused ;
because a woman who weighs two
hundred can use them to lace herself
into deformity, it is no sign they are
bad in themselves.”
But corsets are one especial object
of the animadversions of the dress
reformers. They have come to the
conclusion that a conspicuous revolu
tion in feminine attire is not at present
possible, so they have undertaken that
there shall be a certain outward con
formity to the Mammon of unright
eousness, whtle they work all possible
changes underneath. I will not dweli
upon subtleties of the internal ar-
rangements suggested in)this volume,
the bewildering combinations of buttons
and button-holes,{of eyelets and lacings,
upon garments which shall be nameless
in my letter, though they have anew
and mysterious nomenclature in Mrs.
Woolson’s book. The pages of her
appendix are not for the perusal of
masculine Paul Prys—indeed, no man
could understand them whose acquaint
ance with women was not as scientific
as Worth’s or as extensive as Brigham
Young’s.
I for one eertaiuly think that if wo
men will I ut wear the present modes
sensibly, not cramping thejj feet in
tight boots, not using their corsets for
tight lacing, not overloading their
skirts with trimmings and not walking
in dresses designed for the carriage or
the salon, they can hardly, under any
system, dress better or more heathful-
ly than it is in their power to dress
now. But there seems to be in the in
quiring and mutinous human mind a
longing for change, a restlessness
which demands revolution. The form
is not enough, they must re-form. Men,
with this besetting tendency, free
slaves, overturn governments'", make
new laws ; shall we deny to women the
lesser pleasure of a revolution in cor
sets and petticoats, a triumph in but
ton-holes? And if, indeed, anybody
prefers garments with the new names
to the old, orthodox fig-leaves of our
grandmothers, they could not do bet
ter than to follow Mrs. Woolson’s lead.
Her book is well and delicately written
—if to me it seems a work of superero
gation, there are others, no doubt, who
will welcome it as the herald of anew
and better dispensation.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Laxity of Discipline—The Opinion of
a Stranger.
The evening the Holman Troupe ar
rived in Athens a stranger called at
our office, and remarked as follows :
“Well, Mr. Editor, I have traveled a
great deal, and I am sure the recep
tion givea the Holman Troupe this
evening, by the young men over on the
College grounds, as the omnibus ar
rived at the hotel, bangs anything I
have ever seen or heard. Why, sir,
the yelling of thoser boys actually
frightened the females of the troupe
terribly, causing them to inquire, in
quite an excited manner, what in the
world is the matter ? What does it
mean? Why, we thought Athens was
cmO i' o.ui ■
age reception is certainly calculated to
induce strangers to suppose that they
had suddenly turned up araonga semi
civilized tribe. And, Mr. Editor, if snis
company, which, by the way, is an ex
ceedingly decent and orderly one, had
suddenly landed among the Hottentots
their reception could not have been
more uncivilized or barbarian. Does the
faculty of the college, and your city
authorities as well, permit this sort of
conduct, and that, too, in the most pub
lic part of the city, around the hotel
where strangers visiting your city are
compelled to go? This is certaily a
very strage state of affairs, to say the
least of it, aud well calculated to injure
the fair fame and reputation which
heretofore nas been ascribed to Athens.
Well, what could we, as an Athenian
citizen, reply ? What ought we to have
said ? We leave the faculty of the
University and the city authorities to
answer! What was remarkable on
this occasion was the fact that at the
very time this unendurable noise was
being made an officer of the college
was talking with a citizen of the city,
near by the scene, and remarked:
“Ain’t that outrageous ; it ought not
to be allowed!” “Well,” says the citi
zen, “why don’t you stop it?” “Oh,”
says the officer, “I haven’t spoken out
yet!” Well, we think it is high time
for somebody to speak out, and act
also.
We heard a member of the senior
class laughingly remark, the other day,
that a Professor told his class that if
they did not promise to be more atten
tive and keep better order during his
recitations or lectures, he would not
lecture to them. Well, it was not so
when the writer was a student, and
certainly does not partake of the form
er good old days of Franklin College.
Ought these things so to be? Should
they not be remedied ? Will not the
matter be looked into ? Well, we will
see.

I Have No Wife.
BY AN OLD MHMBKR OF THE BACHELORS’
CLUB.
I have no wife! Young girls are fair,
But how it is I can not tell,
No sooner are they wed than their
Enchantments bid them all farewell.
The girls, God bless them! ma ke us yearn
To risk all odds and take a wife—
To cling to one. and not to turn
Ten thousand in the dance of life.
I have no wife! Who’d have his nose
Forever tied to one lone flower,
E’en though that flower should be a rose,
Pluck’d with light hand from fairy bow
er?
Oh: better far the bright bouquet
Of flowers offevery clime ana hue,
By turns to charm the mind away,
And fragrance in the heart renew.
I have no wife! I now can change
From grave to gay, from light to sad,
And in my freedom wide can range—
Fret for a while, and then be glad.
I now can heed a siren’s tongue,
And now that eyes glance not in vain;
Make love apace, and being “ iiung,”
Get up and try my luck again.
I have no wife! and I can dream
Of girls who’re worth their weight in
gold;
Can task my heart in love’s broad beam,
And dance to think it yet unsold.
Or I can gaze upon a brow
Which mind and beauty both enhance;
Go to the shrine and take thy vow,
And thank the Fates I have a chance.
I have no wife, and like a wave,
Can float away to any land
Cut up and kiss, or gently lave,
The sweetest flowers that are at hand.
A pilgrim, I can bend before
The shrine which heart and mind ap
prove,
Or, Persian like, I can adore
Each star that gems the heaven of love.
I have no wife! In heaven, they say,
Such things as weddings are not known;
Unyoked the blissful spirits stray
O’er fields where care no shade has
thrown;
Then why not have a heaven below,
And let fair Hymen hence be sent?
It would be fine; but as things go,
Unwedded folks won’t be content!

AGENTS WANTED.
■..
Every Family to be Canvassed.
WE want local Agents everywhere, and
one General Agent in each State, for
The dii'isstiaii Age,
a weekly Journal of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Gris
tian Families througnout the cnuutry just
such a metropolitau paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D‘ D..
Is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of tho highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that ho has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation iuasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, wo shall publish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predece sor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS,
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerent parts oi
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the reprt
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at, $3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in all parts of the world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged hi an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want, only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. W r e give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
andgivo the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
Orders. Drafts or Orders should be made
payable to the “Christian Age.” Post
Office Money Orders should bo made paya
