THE COTTON PROSPECTS.

"WEDNESDAY MORNING, Aug. ~, 1888.
To he Editor Of The N. Y. Tribuas
SIR: The dull state of our market in the present po-
son of affairs is not surprising. In all the markets of
the South the stocks are very small in Savannah and
Charleston together only amounting to 5000 bales
against 20 600 bales last year, and the receipts in both
ports during the past week ouly 1000 against 1000
last seasen. In New-Orleans and Mobile the stocks
were 10000 against rs 000 and the cearances from all
the Southern ports looks altogether insignificant
Here then the bulk of the stock is held, and which
does not exceed $4,000 bales including all on SHIP
board not cleared and arrived, but not stored. This,
generally is in tie hands of parties well able TO await
the efit ct upon tie Liverpool marke Of gradually
decreasing stock which at the latest dates had com
menoed to take place and at the end Of October would
not at the outsice exceed 200 600 bales OF American
against 430 900 bales last year, Again. with the hight
stock and large consumption all over the world, The
accounts of the growing crop exercise an unusually
powerful and immediate Influence, and Notwithstanding
the present considered high prices, advance would
at oIce take place, and be fully warranted should
any drawback TO cut cH the next year supply.
The recent returns not by any means OF an
couagiDg nature. It's true that the receipts Of
Cotton in NewOrleans is unprecedentedly large, but
that lort forms an exception, and notwithstanding
prices are fully maintained there when we take into
consideration the advance In the rates OF freight At
other points the receipts are light and the crop gener
ally admitted TO be backward Spinners in this
country are sparingy stocked, and should they pur
chase as their wants justify the amount Of Cotton in
this market is barely sufficient TO supply them until
the crop arrives freely. They, however, pursue
the course OF buying from W and 10 mouth, IN the
hope OF breaking down prices by wearing out the
patience of sellers. Exporters have no inducements to
emit the market at present it requiring full ID. ad
vance in the Liverpool market TO bring out purchases
made now; and until the aspect Of affairs is altered for
better or worse, the amount taken Tor shipment will be
imma,erial. The immense crops Of grain secured in
this country and Canada, ard the good prospect in
England and France will prevent any apprehension to
prevail of an adverse influence TO cotton from short
supply Of bTeadstufs. Holders, therefore, swayed by
40 sIn vii n q
CURED, and until other parties succumb, the
quietness in the market will continue.

LoNGRvITY.-An old servant man, who
belonged to the late Walter H. Robertson,
of this county, died a shor. time since at
the advanced age Of los years, i. is said.
Whether this is correct or not, it is known
certainly that he was not less than 96 years
old a. The time Of his death. His eye sigh.
was remarkably good, being bu, very slight
ly. if a. ell, impaired by age, and his health
was generally good.

CoNeREss.-We give below some of the
doings Of both houses Of Congress up to
noon on Saturday, the day before the final
adjournment. We copy from the Patriot of
Saturday evening:
In the Senate were passed the bill from
The House to carry into effect the Recipro-
city Treaty, also concurred in the amend
ments of the House 10 the Bounty Land
bill, which now only wants The signature Of
the President to become q law. The bill
to reorganize The Courts Of the District Of
Columbis, with the amendments of the Ju-
dietary Committee, was passed. These a.
mendmen,s retain ell the material features
of the bill, except those affecting the tenure
Of the Judges. The discussion upon the
Tariff clause Of the Civil and Diplomatic
Appropriation bill was resumed by Mr..
Cooper, who spoke in opposition to it,
Mr.. Cass expressed his appreciation of The
policy Of reducing The duties thereby reduc
ing the revenue, but was opposed to The
mode by The House. He appealed to Mr..
Hunter to abandon the clause and, after
some remarks by Mr.. Stuart, the vote was
taken on Mr.. Clayton's motion, and The Sec
ton was stricken GU. By vote Of "a to 81.
The Senate proceeded with other amend
men,s, and, after having taken q recess, was
occupied with The bill until half pas. IL o.
clock this morning. Numerous amend
men,s were adopted, including one of $780,
600 to continue the Washington water
works, and another to increase the salaries
of the Judges of The Supreme Court.
The House Of Representatives disposed
of The amendments of the Senate to the Ar.
my Appropriation bill. Some of them were
disagreed to, amongst which was the
clause sppropria.ipg $4,000 for the pur.
chase of camels or dromedaries to be EN-.
ployed for military purposes. Amongst the
amendments agreed TO was the impor,an,
one to add four regiments to the regular ar
my, which was passed by the House with
a further amendment authorizing the ap-
poin'ment of an additional brigadier Gene
raj. The Senate soon thereafter disagreed
10 several of the amendments Of The House
and committees Of conference were sppoin'
ted TO consider the disagreeing votes. The
House passed several private bills, and then
went into Commit.ee of The Whole upon
The Pos. Office Appropriation bill, which
was passed during the night.

THE QUEEN SHOWING THE NATURE OF
HER SEx.-We have had a good many lit
lie gos.ipipg stories Of Queen Vicsoria's
snubbing Prince Albert. She locked him
up, no. long ago, because he infested on
finishing his drawing before he joined Her
Majesty for q ~alk-.urning the key Of his
own room on him, and keeping him snug
ill she returned. Subsequently, to show
her liege subjects tina. she and her husband
were one, undertook to bsp,ize something
by their conjoin, names. Her new yscht
was chris,ened "The Victoria and Albert"
The cosxing little scheme, however, proved
failure, for the newspapers, and her Ma.
jes,y's subjects, in speaking of"'has are wes-
sell" are obliged TO use The term she, accord
ing 10 custom, thus concesIing The identity
Of the Royal husband even in that smell
