COTTON IN AUGUSTA KECEIPTS,
STOCK, ETC.
The Business of the Week.
Our market during the week contin
ued dull and drooping, with rather ir
regular prices. The demand, part of
the time, was fair for the better styles,
u hile low grades were almost entirely
neglected. The week opened at 15'!,
for low middling, and 16 for middling,
but on Monday prices were half a cent
off. Tuesday they were again quoted
up to 15]., and 16, and so continued
until Thursday, when a slight decline
was reported ; low middling being 15] 4
<2 lO 'e, and middling 15^@16—though
prices each day were considered nomi
nal, as, in cases, sales were made
at lower figures when the cotton was
forced on the market. Yesterday, the
last day of the commercial week, there
was no change in tone. TVv- posing
quotations were : Omi no-ml
* ordinary, 11',, ; low
r mklilTfng, 16.
The sales and receipts of each day of
the week, with the quotations, are
given in detail in our general (local) mar
ket review this morning. The follow
liiug is a comparative statement, com
piled from the weekly review:
The receipts for the week in Augusta
> - were 127 bales, a decrease from
the same week last year of 486 bales.
The sales of the week were 701 bales,
being 938 bales more than were sold
the same week last year, when the quo
tations were 18(318] <.
The receipts of the present season to
date are 197,963, an increase over last
season to the same time of 22,148 bales.
By comparison of shipments and home
of the season 188,387 bales,
with the total receipts of the season

COTTON ! COTTON!!
Very great fault has been found, in
some quarters, with the cotton articles
contributed to this paper. It is said
the writer of them is under improper
influences, and that his statements are
wild and conspicuously inexact. We
will allow him to speak for himself, as
he is fully competent to do. Mean
while, all reasonable criticisms are in
vited for publication.
In cotton and everything else men
are very much swayed by their inter
ests and prejudices. Thus biased, per
sonal judgment is frequently prepos
terous. Some months ago, we were
earnestly importuned to open our bat
teries, or at least give the use of the
paper to other parties, to open their
batteries, upon one of our public in
stitutions. The matter was never
brought to any conclusion, but, the
other day, positions having changed
meanwhile, the party who was so anx
ious to demolish certain men and
things had grown wonderfully conser
vative where he had been so fierce and
uncompromising.
Out of this cotton controversy we
hope the whole truth may be drawn,
aud so the agitation of the subject will
create good instead of evil.
We have not much faith in any man’s
statistics and seership in the matter of
cotton. The man who wants the staple
to go up is very apt to deceive lTimself
by figures and fancies, and the same is
true, mutatis mutandis, of the man who
desires a downward tendency.
It is related that two knights met at
a cross-road where a shield was nailed
to a pillar. One knight swore the
shield was of silver and the other called
all the gods to witness that it was
golden. One word brought on another,
until, at last, they fell to fighting and
both were unhorsed and fatally injured.
As they gasped upon the ground, a
third knight came upon the scene,
and to him they (bit the settlement of
the dispute. The wary man-at-arms
viewed the shield from one side and
then from the other. “ I find,” said he,
“ that the shield is like unto gold on
one side and like unto silver on the
other. Had you calmly viewed each
other’s side of the buckler, you would
not now bo paying the penalty of hot
headed and narrow-minded folly.”
There seem to be many men who im
itate these unfortunate knights; how
few are there who pattern after the
considerate and cautious man-at-arms?
It is related of a Sultan of Turkey,
that he had been told by a philosopher
of his Court the earth was round. The
Father of the Faithful rode for fifty
miles to the North, South, East and
West, and saw no evidence, satisfactory
to his mind, that, this terrestrial ball
was other than flat as a pancake, or the
money market. Returning to Constan
tinople, he summarily despatched the
unfortunate philosopher with a bow
string and ordered that his corpse bo
cast into the Bosphorus.
How many men are there who judge
the whole cotton crop by the prospect
in their immediate neighborhood or
according to their little light ? '
Let the cotton statisticians, with or
without bias, come to the charge and
present their data and prophecies pro
and con. If any keen observer, with
out passion, prejudice or interest in the
matter, exists, let him, too, come for
ward and act as umpire. The lists are
open, Messieurs. May the best man
win !

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS COM
PANIONS “BY THE SEA.”
What a Cabinet Officer Says About
Csesarism.
I expressed in my telegram the fact
that political subjects were carefully
avoided. Indeed, during the entire
visit I heard but one inference made in
this direction, and, strange to say, this
was respecting
THE THIRD TERM.
One of the Cabinet officers, in men
tioning this, said : “Gen. Grant is a
fine, generous and kind-hearted man.
Ho is pleasant, agreeable and social in
his habits; he has conducted tilings
generally in a safe and popular way. I
really don’t see any objection against
running him for a third term. I’ll en
dorse him, at all events.”
The President himself was not look
ing well. He appeared to bo wearied
in both mind and body. He seemed to
have come down simply to catch a
glimpse of the sea and experience the
buoyant effects of the cool, bracing at
mosphere. Yet to all who desired to
pass a word with aim he appeared to
be ready and willing to converse. His
fondness for young children has been
frequently commented upon, but never,
I believe, has it • been more pleasantly
.shown than to-day. Little boys and
giris crowded about him whenever he
appeared in the corridors of the hotel,
aud with them he joked and chatted in
a way which provoked no little merri
ment, I really believe that he lias
kissed an army of little folks to-day,
each one us whom he has held aloft in
his arms. Quite
A FUNNY LITTLE INCIDENT
occurred at the depot to-night, just as
the party was leaving. Os course there
was an immense crowd on the platform,
and it was with great difficulty that
the President elbowed his way through.
After he had taken his seat inside, a
little girl chanced to place her hand
upon the side of the window nearest
him. He caught the hand in his own,
and asked for a kiss. The little one,
who might have really sought a kiss
under any other circumstances, now
that the President had caught her by
the wrist when she did not expect it,
refused to give him one.
“Then I’ll have to hold you in this
way until the car starts,” said the
President.
1 “ Well,” returned the little one, “you
can do so if you wish.”
“ Yes, but in case I do, as soon as the
car starts it jvill drag you along with
it.”
“Well, I don’t care,” said the girl,
“you can’t have a kiss, anyhow.”
“ Just hear this little lady talk, gen
tlemen,” said the President to his com
panions. “"Here is a little creature who
I would be dragged along after this car,
rather than give me a kiss.’
The President held on to the hand,
and the youngster held on at the same
time to her resolve. Presently her
mother spoke a word to.her, and she,
1 reluctantly giving the kiss, was ro-
I leased. Turning to one of her small
j friends, she said—
| “ Mother made me do that. He might
have dragged me all the way to Cam
den.”
ABOUT THE CROPS.
Price of Wheat.
The new crop will probably command
about §1.25 per bushel. It is not likely
that it will be above that, on account
| of the immense crop in Tennessee—and
in fact all the wheat country. We have
creditable information that East Tenues
J seeans are now offering any amount on
j the ears at a dollar a bushel—cost of
j transportation from East Tennessc to
j Rome fifteen to sixteen cents per bush
j el. Present price in Rome §1.25.
[Rome Courier.
There was never a better prospect
for a grain crop in Alabama. All
through North Alabama the wheat crop
just harvested has turned out splen
didly. Oats, while not as good as ex
pected, still make a fine yield. Through
out the State the corn is good. From
present appearances, meal and flour
will be cheap enough next year. The
| next thing in order will be to get stock,
hogs and cattle, and raise meat. Then,
indeed, will Southern farmers be inde
| pendent of the world and “the rest of
; mankind.” The general tenor of all
| our news from the State is that the
| crop outlook is unexceptionably good.
I If disaster should overtake the cotton,
i a bread crop is safe.
[Montgomery Advertiser.
\ The Wheat crop of the present year,
I will largely exceed in quantity any one
| ever before grown in the United States,
j Reports from all sections warrant this
; belief. The acreage has been largely
increased, while the yield per acre will
i be much greater than the usual aver
| age. This is true of the Southern and
Western States especially. The pro
duct of California alone will be t'our
| fold greater than heretofore.— So.
! Watchman.
\ Since our last crop report we have
have had plentiful showers, followed
! by cloudy, growling weather, which
have produced a wonderful change in
the corn and cotton prospect. During
the last ten days so rapid has been the
growth of the young corn that now it
is very good size, looks exceedingly
well where thoroughly worked, and
promises a good crop. Thirty days
more of seasonable weather will make
sure the corn crop. Cotton during the
favorable weather has kept pace with
corn, and, indeed, a person who has not
been an eye-witness would hardly be
lieve how much cotton has grown in
the last week. It is now of fair size;
and, growing with a rapidity not quite
equal to the fabled bean, it promises j
well. Although much replanting of ;
cotton seed was done this Spring, yet j
the stand is not perfect, and in some
places jioor.— Cor. Monroe Advertiser.

LITTLE NAPOLEON.
Some Interesting Facts About Him.
The Prince’s apartments at the
Woolwich Academy have been furnish
ed by the Queen ; and among his books
is to be seen a Shakspeare, in which her
Majesty has written with her own
1 hand, “ Pour mon cousin, le Prince Im
j perial, avec Men des vooux pour son
bonheur; de la part do sa bien-affec
tionnee cousine, Victoria Regina, 16
Mars, 1873.” An equally friendly dedi
cation adorns a copy of “ Leaves from
the Journal of our Life in the High
-1 mds,” given to tho Prince by its royal
author. If any one now were to see
HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS
at work, he wd&i.d be reminded of Bon
aparte at Bnenne. He has already
made so much progress in mathema
tics that he is able “ to determine the
conditions of stability of bodies whose
base Is a curve,” But—most astonish
ing thing of all—ho understands “ the
cubature of bodies in a state of revolu
tion,” which suggests that he may be
equal to the suppression of a Paris in
surrection. “Is ho not worthy the es
teem of the French people,” asks the
author, “ this high-spirited young man
who already knows Vauban and the
works of the great Frederic, who solves
the most difficult problems in mathe
matics, who would tamo a horse as well
as Alexander the Great, and who is not
one of the least intrepid at games of
football ?” In the name of football,
mathematics, and Alexander the Great
M. Leonce Dupont calls upon the
French people to recognize in Prince
Louis their future ruler. He is already
tall, “ aud will probably grow taller.”
His forehead is remarkable for “favor
able protuberances.” He has brown
hair, blue eyes, and a nose “ slightly
arched like the nose of Napoleon 111.,
but much broader.”
Much, then, may be expected from
Prince Louis Napoleon ; and as he is
not likely to return to France except in
the character of Emperor, his biogra
pher is quite safe in predicting of him
that when “in tho midst of a brilliant
staff, wearing a cocked hat with white
feathers, decorated with the grand cor
don and with a .sword by his side, he
rides along the avenue of the Champs
Elysees, he will obtain the suffrages of
every one.”
How to Cure Freckles. —Notiiing

From tho reports of the Augusta Exchange
wo condense tho following:
Throughout the week our market has been
dull and in a nominal state, with some irreg
ularity in prices. On Saturday, it was neces
sary for sellers to make concessions to effect
sales, quotations being 15L for low middling,
and 16 for middling. Monday, it was quiet,
with prices He. lower; but Tuesday, there
was a fair demand for good cottons, though
low grades, as usual, were neglected; prices
were iirmor and quoted up to 15 L and 16.
Wednesday, it again fell back to its former
drooping condition, but without change in
quotations. Thursday, it was inactive, with
a decline in prices, low middling being 15
15)4, and middling, 15%@16, and to-day (Fri
day) it continued in the same state.
The closing quotations were: Ordinary,
ML: good ordinary, UK; low middling, 15)4 :
and middling, 16 ; but the prices quoted are
considered altogether nominal, as sales havo
been made in a majority of instances during
the week at lower rates.
The following are tho receipts and sales
of each day, commencing Saturday, with tho
ruling quotations of Low Middling and Mid
dling:

The trade movement is not far from tlio
usual light Summer average, and no now fea
tures of consequence are noteil In tile general
markets. The demand for all articles is con
lined to immediate requirements. But slight
changes havo occurred in prices.
A brilliant harvest in prospect tends to
strengthen confidence. A line trade is antici
pated the last half of the year, and the mer
cantile classes arc shaping their affairs ac
cordingly.
Bacon—There is a firmer feeling on the
part of holders, though prices arc without
material change.
Lard is firm but quiet.
Flour—The demand has increased some
what, but operations are confined to small
lots, anticipating a decline ns soon as new
Wheat comes in treely.
Corn—There has been only a moderate
business transacted, and a weaker feeling
prevails, prices ruling irregular and easy.
Wheat—Some new lots of new havo been of
forred and freely taken by our city mills.
Hay—There is a continued fair demand for
the best grades, and prices are steady, but
other descriptions are slow of sale.
Eggs are scarce and in good demand.
Butter is in fair demand for choice sweet,
in small packages.
