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.

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. Lamaon Bros, f- r<■>. MACON BOND AND STOCK REPORT. STATE OF GEORGIA BONDS. Bid. Ask’d.

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.
