The total receipts from the plantations
since September 1, 1885, were 5M52,008bales;
in 1884 were 1148,087 bales; in 1883 were
1,121,955 bales.
Although the receipt* at the ontports the
past week were 231,491 bales, the actual
movement from plantations was 2(10,8:18
bales, the balance going to increase the
stocks at the interior towns. Last year the
receipts from the plantations for the same
week were 26l»,835 boles, aud for 1883 thoy
were 295,331 hales.
The figures indicate a decrease in tlu* cot

of 174,053 bales us compared with the corre

The Chronicle has the following to sa
the market fluctuation* for the week under
review:
The market for cotton for future delivery at thin
market was lunch depressed by the report of the
Agricultural Bureau for September, which was is
sued on Saturday last, and particularly by that
clause of it which estimated the yield of the present
crop at a million hales over the last crop. A bad
storm ou the Atlantic coast. rejM.rtsof injury to the
bottom crop by excessive rains, and the occurrence
of litfht frosts at various poluts did not prevent con
tinued depression as the week advanced: aud on
Thursday the decline from the cloxiuK figures of
the previous Friday was 12 to 1# points. It was «„•
sorted that private cables reported the practical
ending of the Oldham strike, but, tf true, Liverpool
continued dull and weak. The ]sditical report*
from Itoumclia were also disquieting. To-day the
opvutng was weak but there was a quick rally on
the more iwaccful aspect of Europesu politics and
the stusll movement of the crop, but the prices of
the day were not sustained at the dose. Cotton on
the spot was dull aud nearly nominal. Tho limited
demand was almost wholly from homo spinners.
Yesterday quotations were extensively revised;
some high grades were advanced Clfi to ‘«C.. low
grades reduced l-lf*c.. and tlic range between up

Editor Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette:
Unavoidable circumstances have prevented
me from contradicting, at an earlier date,
the statements credited to Lieutenant Hurry
Isgriug, formerly of tlu* Fourth Indiana
Cavalry, which appeared in the Commercial-
Gazette in September last concerning tin
capture of Jefferson Davis, and 1 respect
fully request that you will allow me space to
correct some of these statements, as tln-y
should not he permitted to go uncontra-
dicted.
In the first place, Isgriggwas not provost
mars hid at Macon at the time Davis was
captured, m*r nt any other time or place
during the war. No superior officer, who
ku fsgrigg. would have placed him in any
such position of responsibility, as he was
not only unreliable and untrustworthy, but
on one occasion was reduced to the rands
and disgraced before his regiment for gross
cowardice.
The statement that Davis was brought
ito Mueon by Isgrigg in a farm wagon ja a
falsehood made out of whole cloth, purely
and simply. I have never seen it equaled
for unblushing falsity. As is well-known to
the country, Jefferson Davis was captured
by the Fourth Michigan Cavalry—or rather
detachment ot t'*:*.* regiment under the
unman.1 of Lieut. Prichard, and Isgrigg
had no more to do with hi* capture than
! man in the moon," aud Isgrigg knows
Mv recollection is, that when Davis was
brought into Macon and was taken to head-
juurters, at the international Hotel, Isgrigg
was not even present, but was in camp, out
side the city limits.
The most unblushing falsehood of all
the statement that “when we stopped at the
international Hotel and were about to get
out of the wagou. Capt tin Thompson
mu aning slit* writer of th;» article), of the
Fourth Indiana Cavalry, drew his revolver
to fire at Davis." A more uujustifiabk
falsehood was never uttered iu the same
numb r of words. It is true I was present
as Mr. Davis ascended tlu- steps, standing
perhaps within five or six feet of him, but
tlu* idea of trying or attempting to shoot
him never entered my head, nor do I be
lieve it was thought of by any soldier
present. As Davis, his wife and
private secretary ascended the steps
through the open ranks of the soldiers pres
ent, the soldiers faced inward and presented
arms, to which Mr. Davis lifted Ids hat in
recognition of tin* compliment. Ashe en
tered tin* hotel he turned partially around
and again elevated 1 is hat, and then passed
out of sight and I saw him no more.
This is quite enough to refute Jthe wilful
falsehood that “Dans, seeing Thompson's
purpose, cried out, ‘for God's sake. Lieuten
ant, save my life.”’ Not a word was ut
tered to nor by Mr. Davis as he entered the
hotel, nor was there any mark of disrespect
exhibited by any one toward him ; hut the
demeanor of tin* soldiers preseut was that
of men who felt they were conquerors and
Mr. Davis a conquered adversary. I repel
with indignation the imputation that any
soldier of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry (ex
cepting, possibly, Lieutenant Isgrigg) would
have been guilty of such base cowardice as
that sought to la* fastened on me by the
false utterances of Harry Isgrigg.

A DEACON CAUGHT STEALING.
Tapping a Till While Helping In a Grocery
Store.
The little town of East Aurora, seventeen
miles from Buffalo, N. Y., is greatly stirred
tip by the fall from grace of M. L. Holmes,
one of its most prominent citizens, x deacon
in the church and a former justice of the
peace, lie was yesterday caught in the act
of tapping the till of a neighboring grocery
store. The storekeeper* in his neighbor
hood were in the habit of asking Holme* to
help them. II. C. Ostrander, keener of a
store opposite Holmes’* house, blul been
tho lnl.it of
asking his assistance. Koine time >11100 he
n iticed that mouey was disappearing from
Ids till with astonishing rapidity, and in
order to capture tho thief yesterday placed
a constable on watch in the second story.
A hole lHired through the ceiling gave a
view to the cash drawer, in which several
marked pieces of money were placed.
Holmes was seen to take the money from
the drawer, and one of the pieces which he
passed was afterward found in Gardner’s
drug store. Holmes was charged with the
crime and paid $1,000 to Mr. Ostrander to
settle tho matter. Ostrander lost from
$1,000 to $1,500 by tho peculations. Frank
Ball, a young grocer who failed two years
ago, is bolieved to have failed 011 account of
money similarly stolen from him.

and, finally, the time lock is arranged so
that even an explosion of dynamite inside
plates of the door cannot disarrange it.
