PUBLIC LANDS FOR EDUCATION.
The Resolutions of the Legislature OF Ma
fUaad, relative to the application of the old
states to Congress, to grant portion of the
Public Lands, for the purposes of education,
have been adopted in Rhode Island, and are
before the legislature of .Niio-Jersey. The
siec States have received liberal donations of
these Lands, for the purposes of education,

LIVERPOOL, Goth Sept 1921
DEAR SIR-Since our respects Of the 18th
inst. the demand for Cotions has been prrtty
extensive, hut not quite so animated as it was.
Prices are with some difficulty supported, and
an impression now very generally prevails that
your present crop will be found equal in guam
tiiy to that ofthe preceding year. 1t is clear
~ ascertaincd there will he surplus in Or
leans OF 10000 bales 10 meet The deficiency
III Carolina and Georgia, and which, as FAR as
our accounts go, IS considerably less than ex-
pected-this deters the dealers from holding
heavy stocks. The wealth. r for two or three
days was more favorable for the harvest, and
prices gave way IN London and yesterday no
purchasers were 10 be found. To-day the
weather is again very wet--thc transitions are
so sudden ant! prices of Bread siulls so COM
pietfly ruled by th"m, it is hardly possible to
give correct quotation. Sweet Flour in
bond was few days ago sold at SOS and sour
at 3es. Irish wheat 15s. English l3s Cd. All
descriptions might have been had much cheap
eryesterday. The opening of our ports so
completely depends ON the weather, it is i'm
possible for any person 10 form an opinion on
the result, so decided as to justify its being
heavily acted upon. In other articles we have
no change OF moment.
We remain yours very respectfully,
WM. s. JAMES BROWN s. co.
We have been favored by respectable mer-
camille house with the following extract OF Il
letter from Messrs. WIN. s. JAMES BRowS s,
Go. Of liverpool Sept. %, 1891:
This day has been rather favorable for The
harvest, but the weather is so clangeabIe it is
morally impossible to know how the result
will he Vpf yvp rather. fool 1;cnoeob 70
The ports will not open this quarter, and for
the present we would advise you to act under
this impression"
