The movement of the crop was on a large scale, the amount coming In sight for the week approximating 60)000 bale* At the present level of pricee the demand le not sufficient to absorb this enormous volume, and hence the visible supply Is rapidly Increasing Yet the very small stock In New York serves to restrict too heavy selling there, which explains why futures have held op better than spot*- It also conclusively disproves the reck less claim made In certain quarters that the recent decline has been .bused by "speculation." The direct opposite is (he case. But for the relative tlrmn-ss of futures, due. to speculation, the |>rt--e for spot cotton would, no doubt, have de clined still further The Indications are for a crop of over IsVUO.OOO bales, ami the tendency of the market would still seem downward, etqarlally a* the prospective damage from frost become* more Incon siderable StoJks were active nnd buoyant, with n Special burst of strength toward the end of the week.

THE OYNTKR 441 EBTION. )iifiiher Mtie or the “Searelly of lit** lers" Presented. Editor Morning News Until yesterday I did not know that there was any pub lic comment on the scarcity of oysters for "home consumption." but my atten tion was drawn to the fact by a signed article, lies led "The Oyaier Question." As 1 have for a long time been champion ing the public cause. 1 deem tt proper for me to give my views on this subject, obtained from long study and careful In e estlgatlott. For the pust hundred years, up to the time of the establishment of the 'om r Oyster Comikany.'l wlih Its machinery, steamers, tug*, dredges, boat*, watchmen, shuckei;.. gatherers, etc., tlier, wi> never uny complaint of a scarcity of oysters, nor was there any such scarcity for the natural supply was abundant Immediately upon iho advent of the oyster canning factory, with Ps capacity for consuming In one day as much as all (he oysler men could gather in a week, the scarcity, so-called, commenced. Oys ters. themselves, will multiply lullnitely. the only limit to thedr production being the area of suitable ground. On suen ground on the rdusl of this stale, they grow without assistance nor can they b<> mod*- to grow elsewhere, by arttflcUl means. There I* only one specie* of oyster In Georgia, but the different varieties of oys ters grow- according to the character of the water, roll, depth and whether or not exposed to sun and cold by the tides. Just as all sweet potatoes are dependent 011 the kind of coll, carr, etc . (hey get for their six* and quality. But any place on which oysters grow is 11 natural oyster led. and no matter how often depleted will recuperate atel replenish if given two years, for they do not grow fr .m roots or seed, but In ihtlr early life they art a swimming fish, fill ing the water In countless billions, but only lhc.se which settle down on favorable territory live, and comparatively only a few of thim 111 1589 the first oy*ter*law was passed, a "general law,” my friend says. In his article of Saturday. Oct 20, "and operates uniformly throughout the state." by which he m, ins lhat it operates In Ful ton. Richmond. Muscugee, Dade and Cherokee counties, as well us In Chatham. Bryan. Liberty. Mclntosh and Glynn; and that law enabl'd any citizen to obtain a lens* to five acre*, and no more, of river bottom or, which no natural oyster beds existed, provided, he staked It and plant ed It with oysters or shells and compiled with certain other requirements. It was then that Messrs Lewis Kayloii. S. Herman. 1. G. Haas. 8 McA While, H. M Comer. Jr.. SV. H. Adams, A. P. Solomon*. H. B. Platen. T J. Davis, J. E Marlow. J. R. Elnateln. C. A. Shearson, H. D. Stevens and a large number of (Slier burlncs* men, who were stockholders of the Oenv ler Oyaier Cm|ny, obtained leases to ttW territory in Oyster creek and Shad river, all of which were natural oyster bed*. Oysler creek deriv ing Its name from that tael, and then af terwards transferred them to ponies representing the oemler Oyster Canning Factory. No one for a moment suppose.- thut when M<-ssrs. K.tyton. ILia* and oth er* took out their leaere they had any bleu of themselves planting any oysters on this territory. In 1891, after all these leases had beeu ob tained to these natural oyster beds, a Nil. tvucked by Mr. Oemter, was Introduced, and was (Kissed by the legis lature. declaring all lease* therdofote grunted to bo valid and binding, and also prescribing that Drake’s chart should be conclusive of the existence or non-*xlt ence of natural oyster beds; but on this chart nous of thn lands which had been or were then being token up by sioekhod ers of (he Oemler Oysler Comisiny were shown lo contain natural oysler be,!*. This same law also repealed Iho provis ion of tho pre-existing law lhat hoses taken out could be assigned within a year from .their being grunted by the state. So that the Oi mler Oyster Com pany, which Is now defunct, by passing laws through the Legislature, obtained nV. the most valuable natural oyster beds In the county under void leasts, and then validated (he void leases by an act of the Legislature, und now the scarcity of oysters la attributed lo the oysterm.in who earns his living by picking from natural oyster beds a scant bushel or two of oysters on a tide by* •vhich he gets 50 cent* to It for.his day's work The oyst.rmen re-alls,- that they have been legislated out of their Jlvell hood; that the public oyster bed* from which they have always obtained their living have been taken from them by what they have been udvl-cd and believe to tie an unconstitutional law, and be fore they will ullow their children and themselves lo starve and the money they should and could otherwise be earning to go Into an oyster trust." they will test the law by exercising ihetr public right as citizen to gather from natural beds. Let any man visit the orig inal oyster canning factory In this coun ty arul look at the millions of bushels of oyster sheila piled up along the shore and on Ihe land, eitlmut* the thousands and thousands of btisnels more of them that are used to pave the streets of Savannah, the roads of Chatham county, and the thousands ii|>on 'housanda more of them uaid for building up the suburban river-bluff froata, and rarden walks, and the thousand* of bush el* more used for pier foundation* and (til ings. mn on* bushel of which I* obtained from the oyl*rtnrn who claim the same right to natural oyster bed* that they have always claimed; and then let him say whether the scarcity of oy*t*r* la due lo the factories which supply Chicago and tho Interior, or to the fisherman, who ha* always, until the advent of the oyaier company, furnished the citizens of Chat ham county. Who now ran scarcely get a raw oysler, with a bounteous supply. I champion the public right under which (he oystermen have claim*,] and now claim; an), as the barned counsel ha* *"*n flt to present his cli ent's side of the matter. I thought It was oply Justice that the oyster-galherers’ aide, be also presented. Geo \5". Beckett. Savannah. Ga..

From the London Express, In response to an appeal for press sup port from the Socle*y for the Protection of Birds the editor sent an Express repre sentative to study "both sides of a feath er." “But my milliner assures me lhat the fmthers wo wear ure manufactured, nut natural," urged the Express representa tive, eager to preserve a right to the ,1,-ar little bit of womanly vanity. "So does everybody else's milliner," ruthlessly replied the secretary; "but It Is 'a monstrous fiction,' as no meaner au thority *han Sir William Flower states. We have hundreds of specimens sent to us by liulles kinging 10 salve their con science*. We send them oil away lo ex perts—they are always returned to u* la beled 'Natural.' Not one single specimen has come back ns 'manufactured' A ftuther la a leather, and It can'B be man ufactured." The Express representative went away sorrowful, anil hurried back o the millin er for comfort. Apparently It wasn't 10 lie hud. "Oh, well, of course, u feather Is a feather, and as they are not made on my premises, perhap* I am mlHaken. Why not go anil ask manufacturer?" Off went the Express representative 10 a manufacturer. St. Paul's bell was beginning to chime for evensong, and hope dawtu-d at sudden sight of a big brass plate and an open door. "My milliner aaya they are manufac tured, and the society says they grew on the birds, and they both say that a feather Is n feather. Will you tell me which Is right?" "Well, a feather Is a feather." he said, laughing. "11ml fea'her* do grow on birds, and I never heard yet of their growing anywhere else. But come In. und let me show you some, and tell you anything I ran about them You aee, they are both partly true, but both greatly exagger ated." Then for an hour the Express represen tative had a very good time, reveling In lovely plumes and feather* with a straightforward. liMelliger.t explanation of their treatment* and processes "Now. look at these wings." he said, "and you will ttnderslond In a minute. Each single feather on that wing Is 'nat ural'—grew- on a bird; but those two outer row* of feathers grew on geese—that row und that on pheasants; and these center one* on grouse. So, clearly, Ihe wing as u whole ts manufactured, und did not 'grow on a bird.' hut the feathers, singly, certainly are 'natural,' and undoubtedly did. Look at these lovely little white birds —heads, body, wings, and tall, all com plete.
