COTTON.
Macon, Oct. 13.
Our market ia quoted at*the following
quotations:
Good Middling 5Va
nd closed stony with sales
Liverpool advanced 1% to
points, which was remarkable as a :
sponse to a decline of 14 points here y<
terday. The close there was steady a
the spot sales were 10,000 bales, which
doing well for Saturday. It Is believed
that a prominent New Orleans operator
has been buying here on a scale down
through various German houses during
the past week. Cotton is below the cost
of production. It cannot be brought to
New York from the South except
loss against sales of futures here, and
the New York has lately fallen off slight
ly. The port receipts were estimated at
4i,5«9, against 33,903 this day last year
and 54.829 in 1891. Houston received
376. against. 7,61(i. New Orleans <*xpe<-
26.000 to 28,000 Monday, against 15,00 Olnat
year. Spot cotton here was unchanged,
The FUU River operatives have a*
to go to work Monday at the 10 per cent,
reduction in wages. The two bull cards
today were Liverpool and cold >veath«
Many operators were afraid of frost over
Sunday and covered up, preferring to
await developments. A frost at this stage
of the season would undoubtedly drive I
some of the blgg»r bears and cause
sharp upward movement in prices.
Stevens. & Co.
THE SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
Now York, Oct. 13.—file Sun’s cot
ton review says: Cotton julvaneed S
to 10 points, closing steady at a net
advance of 7 points. Sales SI,000. Liv
erpool was unchanged on the spot ami
1-2 to 2 points higher for future de
li wry. Spot sales 10,000. New Or
ients advanced 0 to 7 points. Spot
cotton hero was dull aucl unchanged,
Sales 184 for spinners. Port receipts
are estimated at 44.505. against 37,905
this day last wee, 35,009 this day last
year and 72.S09 In 1S91, Today’s feat
ures were an unexpected advance In
Liverpool, cool weather at the South
predictions of frost and covering by
the shorts, which caused an advance.
Some of the crop reports from Texas
were rather unfavorable, reporting rav
ages by worms. As ruins were re
ported today, there was considerable
nervousness among the shorts, espe
cially as a lower temperature was pro-
dieted. There is a *iold wave comiuj
from tho Northwest, which many
feared might extend down to the cot
ton belt.

er weather and prelctlona of frost by the ‘
signal service for Arkansas and Tennet-
see iuvd a bracing effect on prices. Gen
erally cooler weather was indicated for
the cotton b<£t within the nex» twenty-
four hours. A cold wave Is m ov| ng down
from the West. Rain was reportc»l In the
c's 1 If states. The Chronicle's weather re
port vas not so favorable as many had
txpe ;ted. From some partiotts of Texas
tin* leports were jnfavorable. From Le*-

LAMSON BR03.* GRAIN LETTER.
Chicago, Oct. 13.—The last week has
been a very dull one. trade has been very
moderate and mostly local; nothing has
transpired to disturb the serenity of the
situation; even tho government report
failed of effect, which, however, is not
to b*: wondered ut, os it was pretty well
discounted, and the market has gradually
rank of Its own weight; prices have made
new records, but the general disinclina
tion to enter the market and sell short
ould Indicate that prices are dragging
a a hard bottom and any favorable
news of consequence Is bvund to send
prices ,up. Exports of 3,227,000 Irurhfd:
show a deckled Increase, while there is
noticeable falling off in the Northwest
ern receipts, which has been a depressing
factor, while the visible supply on Mon
Cay Is not expected to Increase over 750,
000 bushels. It Is true Monday’s Incrcnso
was much larger than expected, yet it la
but a question of time when conspicuous
decreases will be posted. There has been
some inquiry for red wheat, and New
York reports sales there at materially
higher prices Hmn has recently been ob
tainable. The foreign markets have shown
some strength, especially Paris. Today
has been a very quiet one In all pits;
wheat has been unusirally dull and prices
confined within % to % of a cent rang*
Corn.—The situation remains, unchanged
from our last report other than that there
falling off In the cash demand. Prices
conscience have ruled at a lower
range. Trading the whole week has been
of the scalping ord;r and confined large
ly to professionals. Tho prices of this
cereal have been boomed up by spocula
tlon the post month or oo on the crop
prospects, which it Is true have been very
serious, and everyone Is wondering at the
1 demand. The fact is most people
except those in the deal think the thing
has been overdone.

Tho Stomach Not Easily Dethroned When
Once It Obtuinc Mastery. *
Ono of tbo greatest miatortunea that can
bnppcu to n man In his earthly enroer is
to discover that ho has n stomach. He
may know it theoretically or recollect the
lessons in physiology of his schoolboy days,
but when he finds out by actual, personal
experience that ho has u stomach lie la to
bc pitied. The whole science of gastrooo*
®J. —and it is a science—has been devised
and perfect'd for the benefit of tne men
who havo mado this discovery* All the
Itudicsof tho whole glittering galaxy of
gttstronomlbts, all the culinary triumphs
of tho great rc.stuurnnt* lu the capitals of
Ibc world, are due to tho simple fact that
men have found out that they have stom
ach*, and that that organ, when once di»
covered, must bo petted and flattered and
soothed and kept in good humor to pre
vent ita revolting and creating revolution
and civil war. U is safe to way that tin-
primitive man nereq knew that ho hnd u
stomach. It has lxu*n reserved for civili
zation to malm the discovery, and it is bj
no means a foregone conclusion that civi
lization should pride itself upon having
dono so.
The maxim that ono never enjoys a
good dinner until after it has be«-n eaten
is a refinement r,f modern and degenerate
dayx, containlfjg much sound philosophy
from n certain standpoint, but that stand
point is n fictitious and mistaken one.
There in no natural reason why a dinner
Koo*l or bad, rhauld bo enjoyed. The one
object of eating Into satisfy hunger, and
that being done tho diumr should be for
gotten. It is oqjy the imperious and ar
bilrary stomach whloh Insists upon a fur
thcr recognition-pf itii claims, and ft b
only human weakness which submits t*
its demand. A modern philosopher,/it
terzo though Inelfgimt diction, has Jhi'
down this maxim, which is si most idio
rnntic, “Yon must down your stomach, 01
yonr stomach will down you.” There J*
more In this than wi)! cu«ot the eyo of th»
casual render. Th, atomaeh *npv, as cer
tain of tho ancients b^ievod. bo the rea
seat of tin enjotJonSj passions end nfTc'
tions, but we mak« a great mfst/iko If w
subordinate the ego to |i atogie organ, an*
especially to onq which U ©aly too ready
to presume upo* the fhror abownftsnd
tho license gin it, lijmlfty children
know nothing hpoqt' thttv stpjnncLx, ex

on to do double fluty, nod there ia noth
Ing so healthy ©nd happy in the world aa

growth could hut ignore'thf gastric organ
or forget it, dyspepaiu would become a lot*
