MINOR TOPICS.
Miss Agues Beckwith, aged fourteen years,
recently swarm from London Bridge to Green
wick in one bonr and nine nunntee. The dis
tance traversed was a little over five miles,
which is more than Byron swam once, and
then glorifiod himself ; more than Leander
was accustomed to swim nightly, and not
greatly less than Poe's celebrated feat of
natation.
If the banqnetting oT the American Team
goes on much longer, a patent sausage stuff
ing machine will not be able to get any more
meat or drink into them. They had forty
banquets while in Europe, and hare been
cramming and guzzling ever since they came
home. If they should take the gout, or'get
too fat, they might not lie able to bend over
into the absurd positions they are accustomed
to assume when shooting, and the next inter
national mate h may result in a grand Ameri
can defeat.
Not long since a Chicago lawyer brought
sola in a justice's court on a clear and honest
claim for *6O. The defendant's attorney
trumped up a false counter-claim, and the con
scientious jury brought in a verdict of $l5O
against the plaintiff. The latter’s lawyer re
monstrated with the constable who had
selected the jurors; ami more than hinted at
foul play. The constable stated the case with
refreshing frankness, in these words: "I told
Mr. Ho-and-So (the plaintiff; that he could
have a jury to suit him for $5; he wouldn't
give me a cent, and I got np a jury for the
other side.”
The Philadelphia l’rem complains that
children are sent to school when too young,
and deprecates the blander of a'lowing them
to bring the school home with them. It says:
“When the doors of the school house close in
the afternoon upon the school children, they
should literally close out from them all that
pertains to school until the opening next
morning. A teacher should he a teacher, not
simply a mere hearer of recitations. Lessons
should he learned and taught at school—never
at home. The teacher lias no right to impose
upon parents the most annoying part of her
work Mho has no right to tako from the child
a single moment of the few hoars it has out of
school.”
Dr. Mac Lean, of the Michigan State Univer-
has successfully imitated (be startling
sargicial operation performed some years ago
by Professor Lyme, of Edinburgh. Home time
since a young man, named Henry Ortmin, was
seriously injured by an explosion of gunpow
der, being thrown through a window into the
street. In addition to having his eyes almost
totally destroyed, his neck was badly ent with
glass. Thin pieoes of glass cut the carotid ar
tery three-fonrths_off. Clotted blood stopped
the hemorrhage, but a tumor began to form,
filled with blood, directly upon this artery. It
increased in size till it became as large as a
largo orange. The thin sack of the tumor
would soon have hurst, and death inovitably
followed. l)r. M&cLean undertook the difficult
task of removing it, as the only means of
saving the life of tbo young man. This was
successfully done, and the artory permanently
closed by ligatures. The patient is doing well
and will soon recover.
In some remarks recently before tlie alumni
of Amherst College Dr. Allen argued strongly
in favor of making physical culture an essen
tial part of a college curriculum. He institut
ed a comparison between boating and ball
playing on tho one baud and gymnastics on the
other, and said that while tho former are cal
culated to aw&kon public intoroat on the sub
ject of physical culture and to improve the
physical condition of great numbers, yet as a
means of health they are not tho best adapt
ed for tho scholar. They call into exercise
chielly certain muscles of the chest, the spine
and the limlw. and when long continued pro
duce an abnormal development of these par
ticular muscles at the expense of other mus
cles. But health rather depends upon a har
monious development of the wholo body.
Then, too, tho exercises of boating and ball
playing bocomo at times so violent and pro
tracted as to cause congestions in tho vital or
gans, resulting in serious diseases, and en
dangering life. Furthermore, thejo ex
ercises can he carried on only ly a few indi
viduals, in pleasant weather and at particular
seasons -circumstances which render them un
suitable to the student. With gymnastics it is
very different. These can ho carried on daily
and systematically by all with little loss of time
or risk of injury to person or to good morals.
They can ho so varied as to call into exercise
every muscle of tho body, and, if need be,
strengthen the weak parts and repress those
in excess. While they are calculated to im
prove tho general health by producing a woll
balanced organization, they aim to bring all
the physical forces of the system into the
most favorable condition for study and men
tal improvement. They tend to bring about
the greatest possible harmony of action in
overy part, especially between the physical and
mental, so that tho machinory of body and
miud shall work to the best advantage.
The abode of tho notorious Alexander Collie,
the absconding London morcliant. is described
as the most’magnificent mansion in Kensington
palace gardens. On the west side of the gar
dens a long broad privato avenue oxtends for a
mile, and for much of this distanco on either
side there are some of tho finest residences to
ho found ill the metropolis. They aro very
large ami stand in their own grounds, and aro
in every respect most desirable and magnifi
cent residences. Sir Morton l'sto, who had a
little notoriety in America some years ago,
lived in one of them, and Thackeray resided iu
one of Ihe smallest of them farther down the
hill. The towering trees of Kensington gar
dens have a very majestic appoarance as seen
from the back of tiiese residences on the east
ern side of the avenue, aud give a delightfully
rustic look to the landscape. In the interior
of the house there was one side-board beauti
fully oarvod and valued at tho trithng sum of
$30,000. Tho carpets throughout the Uonse
were of tho most expensive kmd. The long
drawing room was Sited with r&riau marble
mantels of groat value, and with pillars of the
rarest marble, while tho walte and lofty ceil
ings were painted in a style reminding one of
the finest palaces on tho Continent. Much of
the decoration iu the several rooms was in the
Pouqieiiaii style. Tho billiard room was
adorned witli mirrors on every side and lighted
by a clerestory. The walls of tho picture room
were hung with crimson satin brogade, and in
all the apai fluents there was evidence of lavish
profusion. While inspecting the residence
lately, H. ltaldock, an ox-memberof the House
of Commons and a prominent Londoner, was
very much struck by a magnificent conservato
ry, and in advancing to look at it more nearly,
he walked straight through a large sheet of
glass, which ho had not observed, and severely
cut oue of his legs above the knee, besides re
ceiving othor injuries. Erysipelas sot in and
lie died.
JEFFERSON DAVIS’ TOUR,
Pleasant Incidents Connected With It.
J S/vviai to the St. I.ouis Republican.]
Kansas City, Mo., September 14.
Notwithstanding the feeble condition of
Mr. DsnX a number of gentlemen call
ed ou him this morning at his rooms iu
the Coates House. Among those who
called were Dr. Stewart, of Henry coun
ty, who Imre him from the field when he
was wounded at Buena Vista. General
David Atchison, of Clinton, who was a
member of the United States Senate
with him 25 years ago, was also among
among the callers, and had a very pleas
ant interview with his old friend. Bnt
perhaps the most interesting interview
was that between Mr. Davis and Major
Sevier, of Richmond, Hay connty.— i
These two gentlemen were class-mates |
at West Point, the one appointed from |
Kentucky the other from Tennessee. |
They served together for some time j
iu the old army and then their i
paths were separated. Forty years j
ago they ported,* and since that)
time until to-day they had uever met. |
Davis left the army first; then Sevier j
resigned from the service, and each had j
pursued his own peculiar fortunes.— >
When the late war came on, Major Se- !
vier adhered to the Union side, but be-!
iug an old man, he did not take servioe i
iu the army. After all these years the j
two men met. Each has grown old and I
gray, and the feebleness of age has come i
upon them since they parted in the!
vigor of manhood forty years ago. To- j
day they talked the old times over. The j
years now buried in the tomb of the past j
hail left memories dear to each, and j
once more they sat face to face, and re
verted with kindling eyes and animated !
spirits to the rare days of Anld Lang
Syne and the wild pranks of cadet life ■
in tiie training school of the leaders of j
armies. It was a most interesting and
affecting incident. Gen. Atchison and
Jefferson Davis, far back in the days of
their boyhood, sat together on the same
form aud conned the same lesson in old
Kentucky. Onee more the three met.
The fires of youth no longer burned in
their bosoms. Setting down together
they looked out into the not distant fu
ture when for them the battle of life
shall close aud they will lie quiet in the
unbroken peace of the grave. The sun
goes down, the twilight shows full aud
then the l ight of rest at Ust after the
stern conflicts and disastrous storms!
through which they have passed.
The convention is in onr hands. The
Conservatives control it absolutely. The
victory is ours, and the true white men
of North Carolina may rest assured that
the destinies of their State are now in
the keeping of wise, shrewd, patriotic
men, who were bold and skillful enough
to overthrow the veteran forces of
Radicalism, and who will prove firm,
cautious and wary enough to maintain
that which they have gained aud make
the most of it — Ealeigh (H. C.) Sen

The Atlanta Commonwealth is fast
earning a reputation. We wont say for
what. Those who wish to know are re
ferred to its recent paragraphs on the

But we do not advise the reading of

Atlanta Herald : Tho Governor has
made fifty-two requisitions year

rendition of fugitives from justice. The

The Rome Courier compliments the
Constitution thus : The editorial col
umns of the Constitution seem to be
run on a Small schedule; but it is

much strength and force as a whole col
umn in that paper used to.
In response to an invitation to speak

! do so on aeMouut of business engage
| ments, adds: “I think, too, just at this
i time, there ought to be but little, if any,
i public speaking on political questions—
especially at the South.” And the Hon.
B. H. Hill is right, “this time,” we
, think.
j A special telegram to the Savannah
! -Vries, dated Darien, I4th, says: An at
tempt was made to assassinate William
J. Donnelly this morning, at half-past
one o’clock, by someone shooting
; through the window while he was in
' bed. The discharge from the gun set
fire to his bed and around him. The
buckshot missed him about an inch, bnt
! the powder burned his face.
The Constitution, in a leader of more
: than half a column's length, informs the
I Ihe State, the People aud the Papers
that it has lately secured an editor who
' lias a talent for humorous paragraphing.
It is very considerate in the Constitution
j to inform the people of that fact, and it
| only remains now for the editor to place
! them under lasting obligations by giving
i the humorous paragraphs some* distin
j gnishing mark—say a cross or a star—
! so that they may be recognized on sight.
Rome Courier : Whether a man con
ducts a weekly or a daily paper he will
i find that his editorial duties, if foith
! fully performed, will take up all of his
time. Therefore, an editor to make his
paper strong in its influence most write
, intelligently npon all current subjects,
! and he can only do so by close reading
1 and stndy; and this requires that his
1 mind be relieved of every consideration
save that of bis immediate duties. His
1 sanctum should be as private as possi
ble, where he may be left to quiet stndy
and constant work.
Willingham, after ennmerating the
many things which the average Sonth
ern editor has to do besides his editorial
writing, sach as clipping, localizing,
proof reading, entertaining visitors,
friends and patrons, goes on to say that,
“speaking experimentally, such an edi
tor seldom spends an hoar of uninter
rupted time npon his best leaders,” and
that “ none but a trained journalist can
successfully surmount all these difficul
ties. To be able to do so even partially
he must have filled every station in a
printing office from that of ‘ devil ’ to
the tripod.” Ergo, Willingham, as he
speaks “experimentally,” having “filled
every station,” Ac., is the “ trained
journalist” of the South.

The Crop of 1874-5.
Tho Augusta Exchange received a dis

Cotton Exchange, giving a statement of
the cotton crop for 1874-5. The state
ment is as follows:
Receipts at delivery ports du
ring the year 3,509,691
Overland movement 191,604
Sontliern consumption 126,550

The late Mr. Ralston’s two sons are at

Revivalist Hammond is on his way

The Democrats have majorities in the
Congressional delegations of twenty-two
States, the Repnblicans in thirteen; one

The Hon. J. H. Brown, of Texas,
thinks Nettie Houston, the youngest
daughter of Gen. Sam. Houston, “the
sweetest poetess Texas has produced.”
He wants to give her a clerkship in tho
Constitutional Convention.
In two years the Democratic adminis
tration of Ohio has saved to the tax pay
ers of Ohio $1,939,178, the items being
as follows: County fees and salaries,
$285,097; State levy, $1,106,000; appro
priations, $523,981; session of Legisla

Mr. Yates, of the Charlotte Democrat,
has been informed that tho late Edwin
M. Stanton, Secretary of War under
President Lincoln, was a native of North
Carolina, having first seen the light near
Beaufort, N. C., and left that locality
when he was seven or eight years of age,
Sam. Cary, of Ohio, accounts for pro
vidential dispensations by sayiug that
the reason the rich are not blessed with
children is because their young would
“grow up to be drones,” while the poor
aro favored because mechanics are want

was rich.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean thus ap
plauds the Democratic platform in Penn
sylvania: “The State within whoso bor
ders the Declaration of Independence
was signed and sent forth to the people
of the colonies; the State in which the
Continental Congress convened; the
State in which the people of all nations
will meet next year to celebrate the Na
tional Centennial; the Keystone State
of the Union through both its great po
litical parties announces the abandon
ment of its allegiance to gold and silver
as the money of the nation ! Both po
litical parties in that State number in
their ranks statesmen of commanding
ability and wide experience in public
affairs. They are irrevocably committed
to the greenback as the best currency

Weekly Review of Angnsta Market.
Acqusta, Ga.. Friday Aftehmoow, 1
September 16,1875. j
The Coarse of Trade.
The trade prospect has sensibly brightened
since our last weekly review was written.
Country merchants with Fall stocks to procure
have been flocking into the city and making
purchases, at the wholesale establishments.
The demand also, from the planting commnni
ty has increased to a large extent, particularly
for bagging and ties. A good indication for
the prosperity of onr section is the fact that
the com market is almost unprecedentedly
dull. The demand amounts to almost nothing,
and the stock, which has been very light for
some time past, does not decrease to any con
siderable extent. The planting community
has at last seen the folly of putting in all cot
ton and depending exclusively npon the North
and West for provisions. In consequence a
much larger area than ever before, since the
war, was planted in com and small grain at tho
beginning of the present year and the ma
jority of fanners have enough to carry them
through several months, at any rate. The
prospect now is that a still larger crop of bread
material will be planted next season. As we
state in the premises the com market in Au
gusta is very decidedly languishing and we see
no prospect of an improvement.
The city trade shows a marked improvement,
and both wholesale and retail merchants are
doing a better business. Onr streets do not
look as lively as they will in a few weeks
heDoe, still there is a gratifying evidence of
activity. This is specially noted in the pro
vision business. Large orders are daily re
ceived and proprietors and clerks are kept
busy tillingjthem. Thefall openings of dry goods
have not yet taken place to any extent but
merchants are receiving shipments from the
North and the public will be given the oppor
tunity, in a few days, of inspecting all the
latast novelties.
Bacon continues unchanged as far as regu
lar quotations are concerned. The market,
however, is very firm and the demand good.es
pecially for the better grades. The stock is
light.
Coffee is firm at our quotations. Headers
must remember that all of our prices are
given on a wholesale basis. Small lots are
several cents higher.
Bagging is off from a half to one cent. The
demand continues fair and large orderf are
filled daily.
Grain is in the main unchanged. Com is
quoted dull and wheat unchanged.
Flour is firm at our previous quotations.
The general grocery market, with a few ex
ceptions, is quiet and unchanged. Northern
potatoes (Irish) are quoted at three dollars
per barrel, aud Western at two dollars. There
is very little inquiry for the latter, and sales
could not be effected without concessions. Tho
supply of sweet potatoes has increased and
we now quote them, at wholesale, at one dol
lar and fifty cents per bnshel. At retail they
are fifty cents higher. The supply of jiav is
not very large but enough to supply thfe pres
ent demand. Fodder is in better demand at
unchanged quotations.
Financial.
While it is true that tho receipts and sales of
cotton have largely increased during tho week,
it is evident that bui little money has been
put in circulation hi consequence. Cotton
sold, the money goes immediately to the coun
try. It will eventually, no donbt, finds its way,
in great part, into the market, but for the
present it is locked np. The financial situation
is, then, practically unchanged. The market
is somewhat easier but not much paper, out
side of that connected with tho movement of
cotton, is taken. The failure of John J.
Cohen A Sons last Saturday) fell like a bomb
shell in financial circles, but no serious
embarrassment has been caused by it and
there is not tho slightest indication that there
will' he any other failures. Confidence re
mains unshaken. The city of Augusta, as a
corporation, is the largest creditor of the firm.
The other creditors, generally speaking, are
composed of small depositors none of whom
suffer seriously. A meeting of all the credi
tors will bo held at early day and some definite
arrangement effected. As we state above, the
failure does not effect the financial situation
in a general way. The rate of interest is the
same as reported some weeks since. Now
York Exchange is easier with a good demand.
All is taken ttiat is offered. We now quote it
selling at par and buying at a quarter to three
eighths off: A large amount was pureliasod
last Thursday, at the latter disoount. We
quote gold buying at $1 lOal 12, and selling
at $1 lial 15. Silver buying $1 02 and selling
at $1 06.

There has been a very light demand for se
curities generally and not many have been

Cotton.
Tho bottom seems to have been literally
knocked out of the cotton market. Where the
down grado will end it is hard to tell. Well in
formed cotton men say it is oertaiu that the
bottom has by no means been reaohed yet.
The market has declined fully a cent for all
grades during the week, aud the tendency is
still downward. Tho receipts at Augusta
have been very heavy. Such is also the case
with regard to all United States ports, in com
parison with corresponding days of last year.

The Nfiw York Cotton Market,
[From the Hew York Bulletin, September 14.]
An entire absence of excitement has again
characterized the general market, and at times
the position was quite stupid. The gain
for the week has been almost entirely with the
buver. and, with the exception of one or two
small and unimportant issues, the influences
are much the same as before noted. All the
advices from the South have tended to confirm
the reports of the favorable condition of the
crop,* and the attention of operators has been
turned toward gaining such information as
would be likely to inchoate the rapidity with
which planters will be likely to market their
pioduct. In a few quarters there is an ex
pression of belief that daring this month the
supplies will rnn behind as compared with last
year, bnt the majority of opinions seem to
favor full arrivals, especially as tbs receipts at
the ports have already commenced to assume
very fair proportions In the meantime, the
demand has been moderate and cautious, with
stocks falling away much loss rapidly, and con
stant calls from the South inviting proposals
on cotton to arrive. The “bear” ton*, in fact,
has continued very perceptible, without, how
ever. developing into any "raid,” and opera
tors generally wanting to see a little more cot
ton actually available before selling the market
off too free’£.
“Spots" have moved ont slowly, and in a
more or less irregular manner, with the tone
weak and prices generally on the downward
turn for all grades. Exporters have been
ruled out entirely by the absence of the least
word of encouragement from abroad, and the
unsalable condition of exchange. Nothing
was required on speculative account, and the
demand has, in consequence, come entirely
I from spanners. Buyer* on this latter outlet
were indifferent in all cases, and handled no
thing except upon the basis of the most im
■ perative necessity, and displayed a desire to
Bale a close selection. Some of the very de
sirable grades, in view of the natnral scarcity
on the reduced and broken assortment, have
been made to cammond figures, where buyers
were par ocularly atuious; hot this nre,
and anything off in quality very frequently
could be .reached at something under the cur
rent daily quotatioons. Indeed, holders have,
ae a rule, been more anxious to operate than
bnyers, and offerings were in excess of the
outlet. New cotton is expected soon, with an
apparent belief that the increase of stock will
be steady aud sure, and as the letters at hand
from the South offer parcels to arrive at lower
figures, and solicit further bids it has been
deemed prudent to sell when opportunity ad
mitted.
On contracts there is not much to say. The
general tendency has been downward, and on
all months a decline is established, partly un
der pressure of orders from the South to sell.
The apparently prosperous condition of the
crop, gradually swelhng receipts at the ports,
and the absence of anything like good healthy
vitality on the consumptive demand either at
home or abroad, have been the weights upon
the market, (and of so wide-spread a character
that nothing but the growing caution even
among speculative operators could have at one
time prevented a serious break. Toward tbo
close of the week the sharp upward turn on
gold appeared to frighten a few ••shorts,” es
pecially those working on small margins, and
as nearly all could discover a little profit,
there was a slight rush to cover. This of course
gave the "bulls” an advantage, the moderate
reactions took place from the lowest points,
but were with difficulty sustained, even though
Liverpool was also reported as stiffening after
having sold down to 7d. September has shown
just a trifle greater strength than the later
months, as a few operators believe there is
still a chance of supplies proving short at just
the time they will be wanted for contracts.
English Views Abont Cotton.
[From Smith, Edtoards <6 Co.’s Monthly Circu
lar.]
Liverpool. August 31,1874.—The past month
has been uneventful, and no changes of mo
ment have occurred in our market, which closes
at about the same price as it opened. At the
date of our last report a firm feeling prevailed.
Middling Uplands being quoted at 7*d., with a
hardening tendency. Considerable anxiety was
felt in America abont the risk of an overflow
of the Mississippi river; its upper tributaries
had been greatly fl joded, and much damage
had been done to the grain crops on their
banks, and it was feared that when the mass
of water reached the lower stream great dam
age would be done to the cotton regions. For
some days a nervous feeling prevailed, and
New York fluctuated considerably, causing simi
lar but smaller oscillations' here. The strong
est, day was the 3d instant, when Middling Up
lands were sold at 7Jd. for September delivery,
and 7Jd. to 7 7-16d. for new crop shipments;
but the improvement was short-lived, theappre
lieusion of any serious disaster in America
passed away, the New York market showed
great weakness, which was at once reflected
here, and the dullness lasted through the
greater part of August. Middling Uplands
touched 7d about the middle of the month;
September delivery was sold at the same price,
and new crop shipments at 7*d. This was the
lowest point of the month. A more cheerful
feeling sprang up last week, the crop accounts
from America were less favorable, rather
more business was done in Manchester, aud
our spinners entered the market freely and
took 66,000 bales, and prices hardened *d. to
3-16d. all round. Again, however, the feeble
ness of New York has ohecked the improve
ment here, and a tame feeling has returned,
aLd 1-10d. of the advance is lost on the Bpot
and *d. in arrivals.
The Manchester market during the past
month has not varied to any great extent. Its
general tone has improved somewhat, chiefly
owing to the continuance of the strike at Old
ham. Already it is supposed the consumption
of cotton has been reduced some 40,000 or
50,000 bales in all. This had given firmness to
all that class of yarns affected by the btrike,
chiefly 32s twist, which is largely produced at
Oldham. Indeed, in some of them au advance
of *a}d. has taken place. A fair amount of
general business has also been transacted late
ly in most other departments of the market,
and the extreme depression which > character
ized it so long has considerably abated. At the
same time there has been no great recovery
either in tone or price. Stocks of goods have
not been cleared out, and foreign markets give
no encouragement. Merchants continue ex
tremely cautious, credit is contracted in all
financial quarters, and the business doing is
mainly from hand to mouth. It is now thought
the Oldham difficulty will be settled before
long, and when the mills resume work there
the tendency may agaiu be to over-supply the
the Manchester market; at the same time
great relief has been already given by the five
weeks' stoppage of mills, and we would not be
surprised if the beneficial effects were felt all
next year in that class of yarn. For some time
past the production of yarn has been increas
ing faster than looms to manufacture it, and
now the equilibrium has been restored; indeed,
it is probable that weaving will be the worse
trade for some time, aud great complaints are
made of its unprofitableness at present.
The money market has been extremely easy
during the past mouth; the bank rate was re
duced to 2 per cent., aud such difficulty is there
in employing money that short bills have been
done as low as 1* per cent.—a circumstance we
suppose almost unprecedented. We expect
that excessive caution will prevail in the dis
count market for a long time. Indeed it is
hard to see where the annual accumulation of
British capital is to find au outlet, for most
foreign investments are thoroughly discredited
and nearly all branches of home trade are dnll
and unprofitable. It looks as if a long spell of
very cheap money was before us, unless some
thing altogether unexpected—such as a Euro
pean war—occurs to disturb monetary affairs.
It is beyond doufit that the wheat crop will
be deficient, aud a large import from abroad
will be needed this ooming twelve months. It
is not supposed that the Continent will have a
large surplus to spare, hence we shall have to
draw more than usual from America. With the
exception of wheat most of our home orops
are good, and we do not expect that the coun
try will suffer to any appreciable extent from
the higher price of bread.
, The prospects of oup market have not altered
materially during the past month. The tenor
of the crop advices from America has been
rather less favorable than it was some time
ago, and this has caused a more sanguine feel
ing to prevail here,
We do not believe that any serious injury hat
been done. The crop upon the whole has pro
gressed favorably up to the present time. It
is exposed every year, eyon in the best of sea
sons, in occasional backsets, and we do not
remember a season in which the complaints
have been fewer up to the present time. The
period for injury from worms is now nearly
passed, and that great plague will apparently
be escaped; and if there is a good picking sea
son there will probably be a large yield. At
present four millions,'appears to be the favorite
guess here, but it is far too oarly to form esti
mates. At least half a million of hales, more
or less, turns upon the weather after this.
Looking at the market merely from a statisti
cal point of View, v/o spe nothing in the pros
pect of supply to frighten holders. There is
no doubt that the consumption of the world
has exceeded the production of cotton the last
twelve months; estimates of invisible supply
vary, but all agree that it is less than last year,
while the visible supply is 180,000 bales short,
mostly, however, in bales of smal lwoiglit. We
consider that a crop of four millions would not
be enough for neyt year, but we are not in
clined at presept to rely on tlist figure. We
think the chances are in favor of a larger
yield. Statistical considerations, however, are
overruled for the present by the bad state of
trade; the utter want of oonfidenoe prevailing
everywhere, but especially in America, aud the
poverty of cotton speculators and importers
makes it most difficult to galvanize the market.
We expect this depression will tell powerfully
on prices the coming season. If the crop
threatens to be short it will neutralise it to
some extent, but if large estimates prevail
later in the season, and receipts are liberal, we
should expect to see drooping markets. We
never remember a time when the speculative
spirit was more entirely out of the cotton
trade, and this will be felt as soon as the next
crop has to moved in quantity. For some time,
however, the figures will look pretty strong;
shipments to England will be long of com
mencing, as the Continental and American
spinners are bare, and will take the early re
ceipts: our stocks will run down rapidly, and as
holders are relieved they may become.firmer;
therefore it is not unlikely that the price on
the spot will be steadier than that of arrivals.
At the same time the controlling influence will
come from America. Our market has little in
trinsic strength, and in the main jit will follow
the currents of opinion that rule New York,
where the "bear" element decidedly predomi
nates at present.
Continental politics are causing a little un
easiness. Some uneasiness also exists respect
ing our relations with China.
