The south claims to raise the fins
est cotton in the world, and its "good
uplands” bring better prices than the
fleecy produot of any other land. And
yet it cannot be denied that southern
cotton it a shorter staple than that ot
many other countries that we have
distanced as]a producer. Of course
ouraea island cotton is the finest
raised and with the longest staple,
averaging 2.20 inches. The cotton
grown on the Paoifio islands runs
from 1.65' to 1.88 inohes; that from
Venezuela!, 1.75 inohes; that from the
Peruvian coast and Egypt, 1.50; that
from the Greek islands, 1.85; Bra
zilian and West Indies, 1.15 to 2.85;
Orleans, our best grade, 1.10; Up
lands, 1; and Texas cotton, ,95, while
the Indian grades run from* .90 to
Tribune. As a husband, hit income . ,
•* But while these countries may excel
xsut wane tnese countries may
the south in the length of staple, ours
is far ahead in the matter of whiteness
and strength of fibre, and thus man
ages to control the cotton market of
the woild, and produoe the beet
grades of fibre.
The tendency ot the cotton, when
long under cultivation iu the same
field, is to deteriorate not only In
yield, but in quality of the staple
produced
from McNutt.

President Arthur will not daring
the winter 'keep house,’ as that term
is understood in Washington, and
there will be no fete occasions at the.
Executive Mansion. The President
intendi for some time yet to live
very quietly. He will keep 'bache
lor's hall,’ only breaking that rule
when he receives visits fro m one of
his three Bisters. Two'ofthem, Mrs
MoElroy and Mrs Morton, live near
Syraouee, N. Y., and the third is the
wife of Paymaster Arthur, United
States Army. The President’s mother
will also probably pay the White
Horn® a visit during the season.
