COTTON,
Some Very Interesting Facts and
Figures.
Tlte receipts this week are 145,000
bales, compared with 170,000 last year
au 1101,000 the year before. It is like
ly the receipts for next week will bo
about 135,000 bales, compared with
138,000 last year and 132,000 the year
before, and the receipts at the interior
towns 30,000 bales, compared with 25,-
000 last year and 25,000 the year before.

NEW YORK.
This market has been exceedingly
dull for spots for the four days the
Cotton Exchange has been open. Sales,
3,955 bales ; no change in the price.—
Contracts have been very active ; saies
for the four days, 175,000. On Monday
the market was very strong, at a rise
of of a cent. This, however, was
lost the next day, and the market
closed at the same prices as last-week.
We believe this rise in contracts was
engineered principally by the bears of
New York to catch Southern buyers,
and they succeeded in a few instances.
The fact is patent, to all observing
minds, that the average Southern cot
ton dealer was a bull yesterday, is one
to-day, and will be one to-morrow ; he
will not buy contracts much while the
market is dull aud drooping, but as
soon as it begins to look a little better,
he begins to buy, believing that the
rise he has been waiting for is coming
now ; and he wants to make back his
former losses. Having once bought he
never lets go, but holds on as long as
he can raise margin to carry it. The
Northern bear, knowing this natural
propensity of Sonthern men,often buys
contracts for the purpose of putting the
market up and thus getting bulls to
buy. As soon as the bears have suc
ceeded iu enlisting outsiders into the
market, and the price has gone up
about half a cent, they throw off the
mask and assume the role of bears
again, and sell to every one that will
buy. How long will our Southern men
continue to give away their hard earned
dollars by buying contracts in the Fall
or Winter months ?
LIVERPOOL.
This market has been quiet with me
dium sales at a rise of % of a cent.—
The stock was counted this week, and
as we suggested in last week’s article,
it was found to be much larger than
estimated. The increase was 89,000
bales, 54,000 of which was American.
This shows that spinners have taken
2,000 bales a week less American, for
the past six months, than it was gener
ally believed they had bought.
MONTHLY STATEMENT.
The stock of cotton in Liverpool and
afloat for that port for six years is as
follows :

We wish to call the attention of all
those persons who are expecting the
price to rise this winter to the above
figures. There are 164,000 bales more
American cotton in Liverpool afloat for
that port than last year, and 159,000
bales more than every year since the
war at this time. Taken by our own
Rpinners for the past month and for

1,156,000 1,151,000 2,566,000 1,797,000
ESTIMATE OF OBOP.
The average of the receipts at the
ports for eight years, for four months,
was 47 2-10 per cent, of the total crops.
The receipts thus far are 2,125,000
bales. Suppose the receipts have been
the same this year as the average for
eight years, and we will have the re
ceipts at the ports 4,500,000 bales, to
which add 315,000 bales for overland
and Southern consumption, and the
total crops would be 4,815,000 bales.
This is of course too large. Therefore,
iu consequence of the very favorable
Fall and no drawbacks to the prompt
delivery, except the low price, and very
low waters in the Western rivers, we
will put it at 53 per cent., or 6 per cent,
larger than the average for eight
years. This will make the receipts at
the ports 4,000,000 bales, to which add
350,000 halos for the overland and
Southern consumption, and we have a
total crop of 4,350,000 bales, which is
our
PRESENT ESTIMATE.
In volume 111, No. 1, written on the
sth of September, we wrote theso
words : “In the course of two months,
we shall have some data to follow ; as
to the size of the crop, now our guess
is 4,100,000. It may be still more than
this, and possibly less, as we may have
a very late or early frost.”
jFour months have passed, aud the
Sin: iails Cimstilutiimalist,
exceedingly pleasant Fall has added
250,000 bales to the prospect then, and
so we raise our estimate that much.
At the beginning of this season, the
extremes of the estimates for this crop
were 1,500,000 bales apart. These very
great differences show the want of
common sense, or what is much more
likely a deliberate attempt to deceive
and entrap the unwary. There is never
any reason why an experienced cotton
dealer of fair common sense, should
miss the total amount of the crop
either way more than one-quarter of
a million of bales.
Some of our readers may think we
have put the figures for overland and
Southern consumption too high. Our
reason for thinking they will be as large
as last year, Is because the price in the
interior Southern towns has been low
and the sales large ; whilst in Ne .v York
the price has been held up very high
and the sales to interior have been
small.
The actual per cent, of receipts at the
ports for the first four months of the
cotton year for eight years is as fol
lows :
1866 1867 1868 1869 1870 1871 1872 1873
45 43.2 50 46 40.5 54.5 47.9 50.4
The year 18G8 was verv early ; 1871
was a very small crop and easily han
dled. Our estimate for this year is
that the crop has come forward from 3
to 12 per cent, faster than any year
since the war, except the year 1871-72,
when the crop was more than one and
a fourth millions smaller than this will
be, and of course quickly gathered,
ginned and marketed. The total re
ceipts for the first four months of the
season, for the past six years, begin
ning with 1868, were 1,044,000, 1,340,000,
1,625,000, 1,486,000, 1,734,000, 1,909,000.
We have already received more than
double the amount of 1868, which was
a remarkably early year.
PROSPECTS.
Under this head we cannot do better
than refer our readers to our remarks
of last week. With this addition—that
if any Southern men are thinking of
buying May or June contracts at pres
ent prices, they had better not, as they
will be more than one cent a pound
lower than they are at present before
the end of ten weeks.
The Strong Man.
Thomas Topham, the “ strong man,”
was born in London, in 1710, and was
bred a carpenter, but afterwards travel
ed on his “ muscle.” He was a quiet,
peaceful man, of middle size and weight,
made like other men, except that the
usual cavities under the arms and
hands were, in his case, filled full of
muscle. The wonderful stories of his
feats of strength are well authenticated.
He could hold under perfect restraint,
and with ease to himself, the strongest
horse. He lifted a table six feet long
with fifty pounds on the end of it, with
his teeth, and held it in a horizontal
position for a considerable time. He
rolled up a pewter dish, weighing seven
teen pounds, with as much apparent
ease as the reader would roll up a
sheet of paper. He held a pewter quart
pot at arms length, and squeezed the
sides together like an egg-shell. He
lifted 209 pounds with his little finger
and waved it gently around his head.
He lifted Mr. Chambers, a clergyman,
who must have lived on the fat of the
land, for he weighed 374 pounds, ..with
one hand, Mr. Chambers’ head being
placed in one chair and his feet in an
other. At a blow he struck a round
bar of iron, one inch in diameter,
against his arm, and bent it like a bow.
One night, observing a watchman
asleep in his box, he picked up the box
and watchman, carrying the load with
the greatest ease, and dropping them
over the wail into Tyndale buryiDg
ground. A butcher once passed a
large window where Tophaifl was sit
ting. He stooped down and took half
an ox from the fellow’s shoulders,
with so much ease and dexterity, that
the man thought the devil had flown
away with his beef. At a race a man
insisted upon driving upon the track,
so Topham took hold of the tail of his
coat and drew it gently back, the driver
whipping the horse like a madman all
the time. When he kept a public
house, two men were determined to
fight him; so, to satisfy them, he
seized them by the napes of their
necks, and knocked their heads to
gether till he knocked all the fight out
of them. He astonished a sailor who
presented him with a coeoanut by
cracking it close to his ear as you
would a pea nut! Once he threw his
horse over a turnpike gate ; aud at
any time could go through the manual
of arms with the beam of a house.
A Remarkable Set. —Old Farmer
Gruff was one morning tugging away
with all his might and main at a barrel
of apples, which he was endeavoring
to get up the cellar stairs, aud calling
at the top of his lungs for one of his
boys to lend a helping hand, but in
vain.
When he had, after an infinite
amount of sweating and puffing, ac
complished the task, and just when
they were not needed, of course the
“ boys ” made their appearance.
“Where have you been, and what
have you been about, I’d like to kuow,
that you couldn’t hear me call ?” in
quired the farmer in an angry tone,
aud addresslug the eldest.
“Out in the shop settin’ the saw,”
replied the youth.
“ And you, Dick ?”
“Out in the barn sottin’ the hen.”
“ And you, sir ?”
“Up iu granny’s room settin’ the
clock.”
“ And you, young man ?”
“ Up in the garret settin’ the trap.”
“ And now, master Fred, where were
you, and what were you settin’ ? ”
asked the old farmer of his youngest
progeny, the asperity of his temper be
ing somewhat softened by this amus
ing category of answers. Come, let’s
hear! '*
“On the door-step settin’ still,” re
plied the young hopeful, soriously.
“ A remarkable set, I must confess,”
added the amused sire, dispersing the
grinning group with a wave of the
hjand.
The “ voice of nature ” is particular
ly distracting to the young father who,
in the middle of the night, clutches
frantically at the paregoric bottle and
finds it empty.
The law is a good deal like a cross
eyed woman with a pair of right and
left boots. Half the time you can’t bet
on which leg the right boot will go,
and win money enough to keep you in
toothpicks.
Good looks. Mrs. Rousby, s e Eng
lish actress, has received diamonds to
the value of $2,500 from her photo
graphers, who have sold 200,000 of her
pictures.

arrives as a visitor at our doors, some

grandfather helped to devour Capt.
Cook.

Slumber Song.
Thou little child with tender, clinging arms,
Drop thy sweet head, my darling, down
and rest
Unon my shoulder, rest with all thy
charms;
Be soothed and comforted, be loved and
blessed.
Against thy silken, honey-colored hair
I lean a loving cheek, a mute caress;
Close, close I gather thee and kiss thy fair
White eyelids, sleep so softly doth op
press.
Dear little head, that lies in calm content.
Within the gracious hollow that God
made
In every human shoulder, where lie meant
Some tired head for comfort should be
laid.
Most like a heavy-folded rose thou art,
In summer air reposing warm and still,
Dream thy sweet dreams upon my quiet
heart;
I watch thy slumber, naught shall do thee
ill.
PARISIAN SCENES.
Nice, Scandalous Chat.
Lucy Hooper, in a late letter to the
Philadelphia Press, thus gossips of
what she sees and hears iu Paris :
Here is some further news about the
imperial family of Russia, or, at least,
the members of it who are at present
in Paris. I learn that the the crimson
velvet and fur-lined cloak of the em
press, which I mentioned in a preced
ing paragraph, is valued at $20,000 ; it
is liued throughout with Russian sable,
each skin of which is worth S6O. The
Czar possesses a still more costly man
tle, lined with the fur of the blue fox,
which is worth no less than $30,000.
He presented to Adelina Patti, on the
occasion of her last benefit in St.
Petersburg, a set of furs of the value
of SIO,OOO. The Czarowith and the
Grand Duke Alexis visited the Bouffes
Parisiens the other evening and warm
ly applauded Mesdames Judic and
Grisot in “ Madamo l’Arohiduc.” Our
old friend Alexis has succeeded to his
grandfather’s reputation of being the
handsomest map in Europe, and he is
undoubtedly the handsomest prince.
Avery romantic suicide has just
been chronicled in Parisian society. A
Peruvian of immense wealth had the
weakness to fall seriously in love with
one of the reigning beauties of the
demi-monde, aud he was desirous of
persuading her to quit Paris with him
and to go dwell afar off in some rural
spot, after the fashion of Armand Du
val and Marguerite Gautier, in the
“ Dame aux Camelias.” But the lady
was not in the least romantic and
turned a deaf ear to all his protesta
tions of affection, and all his projects
of rustic bliss. Finding that the fail
one was obdurate he quitted Paris aud
journeyed to Biarritz, where he shot
himself through the head with a pocket
pistol. In his pocket-book was found
a long tress of brown hair and a paper
on which was written: “To Margue
r.te—from a man who has loved her,
and who dies for her.”
Alas for the common-sense of our
generation when such a tragedy, and
for such an unworthy object, is_ possi
ble In our nineteenth century.
Recently, at the theatre, I found my
self placed close to the box in which
was seated the most celebrated demi
mondcine of our century, Cora Pearl.
This woman, who has held sway for so
mauy years over the evil society of
which she is the queen—this siren, for
whose sake men have ruined them
selves, and at whose feet poor Duval
attempted to commit suicide, a few
years ago, for very love of her-—is a
coarse, unattractive, red-haired crea
ture, with round, black eyes, a heavy
thick-lipped mouth, and a complexion
composed of pearl-powder. Her figure
is superb, however, and she is strik
ingly stylish. She was magnificently
dressed, and the huge black pearls,
trimmed with diamonds, which she
wore in her ears, were worth in them
selves a fortune.
Quite a scandal has been created iu
the American colony by the arrest of
an American lady at the Hotel Spleu
dide for running up a bill of porten
tous length, and then presenting a
draft on Loudon for payment, which
draft came back dishonored. She then
went to the Hotel Chatham, and was
about to recommence her little game,
when the iron talons of the law closed
upon her. No one can be arrested in
Paris for debt, but the presentation of
a bogus draft is looked upon as a form
of swindling, and by so doing she l’en
dered herself liable to imprisonment. I
regret to say that the lady in question
is said to belong to a prominent New
England family, and that the size of her
bill was mainly owing to the quantity of
fine wines which she cousumed daily.
Our unfortunate countryman, Mr
Perkins, the husband of the Spanish
princess, is still in prison and with
every prospect of staying there. His
unhappy wife is reduced, I am told, to
the utmost destitution, and were it not
for the kind efforts of some American
ladies, who have interested themselves
in her behalf, her condition would be
utterly deplorable. She has two little
children, one eighteen months old and
the other only three months. Her
royal relatives offer to support her if
she will consent to abandon her hus
band, but, woman-like, she has refused
their offers, and is trying to obtain
pupils iu French or Spanish. The last
time I heard of her she had just walked
three miles in a pouring rain to visit
her imprisoned husband, taking her In
fants with her.
He Had Seen Kings Enough.—A
gentleman at Washington was request
ed by a friend to join him in a visit to
the depot to witness the arrival of the
King of the Sandwiches.
“No, sir, not much,” growled the gen
tleman.
“Have you ever seen a King in your
travels?” inquired the friend, marvel
ing somewhat at his short answer.
“Yes, sir,” replied the gentleman. “I
was onee guilty of seeing three kings.”
Then, after a moment’s pause, went on
to say: “And they cost me $l5O, sir.
Those were war times, however.”
His friend suggested he must have
been in bad company.
“Well, I don’t know,” says the gen
tleman ; “I thought I was in pretty
good company at the time. I called to
see those three kings in company with
three quoens, another king and an ace
spot, and have never had any desire to
see one of the royal family since.”
His friend saw the point, said he
passed, and shuffled on.— Cleveland

A Chicago preacher has locked him
self up in the fourth story, aud draws
his meals up by a cord. He says they
can’t get up no slanders about him.
For tearing a blanket in a Waas

Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and popular medicines have effected a revo
lution in the healing art, and proved the fal
lacy of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that “Con
sumption is incurable’’ deterred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with it recon
ciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from a doom which they sup
pssed to be unavoidable. It is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured, and
that it has been cured in a very great number
of cases—some of them appareutjy desperate
ones—-by Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other cases by the same medicine, in
connection with Schonck’s Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
io the requirements of the case.
Dr. Schonck himself, who onjoyed uninter*
ruptod good health for more than 40 years,
was supposed, at ono time, to be at the very
gate of death, his physicians having pro -
nounced his case hopeless, and abandoned
him to liis fate. He was cured by the afore
said medicines,and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr.
schenck’s preparations with the same re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
ru.tabsolutely necessary to personally see Dr.
Bchenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is profes
sionally at his principal office, corner of
Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every
