For the Citizen
GIFT,

I have Il gift to offer thee,
If priced by thee twill live,
Then take it, let it cherished be,
IT'S ali have to give.
y will turn to thee when clouds come e'er
To dim its happy day,
For thy sweet smile and thin alone
Can drive those clouds away.
However dark its fate may be.
No STORM its truth can shake,
Then take this little gift from ma
And prize it for my sake.
II is no jewel rich and rare,
No fancy work of art,
But purer far than diamonds are,
For it is my heart.

UP OR DOWN?
A British View of the Course CT the Cot
ton Market.

From the New York World, 10Th.
The following letter is from the pen Of
the same writer whose views at various
times appeared in our columns and hitherto
have proven correct:
LONDON, October %. 1897.
Is cotton going up OF down? That is a
question that must be anxiously asked by
thousands on your side as well as ours. 1
was very near the mark in my letter you
Published in the World on December 81,
1866. in which took the then coming
crop at two millions and spoke of heavy
fall in prices hut who then believed our
report. In July of this year I wrote you,
and which you inserted in the World of
August 9. saying cotton would be peace,
or cents gold, cheaper by September OF
October, which has proved the case. On
the Sd Of J uly the day wrote, the New
York quotations TO- middlng upland, were

as 10 cents. quote verbatim from July
letter: Il would advise any planter to
sell now for anything above % cents, if
they can get that for the new crop. De-
pend upon it they will not get as much

need not here dwell upon the evils Of
the cotton tax. To any mind but that of a
pure blind fanatic il must be clear the tax
is suicidal. To the point. then, about cot
ton. Is it going up or down? Most dis
lincLly down, say. I estimate the worlds
supply and demand for a year from now as
! follows:
! On 10Th October Liverpool stock was us 600
/ London 10000
! Continent (estimatc) 100000
American crop of 1867 100000
East India (iucuding China) 1900 600

Demand for England, I take weekly 80, 600,
France aud the Continent SO 900, United
States 10 O0O-95,00O, and 81 weeks, 4,94OO00
Surplus supplied 100000
which would leave stocks next year as
large as now. and they are unusually plen
tiful and &c., 600 bales additional. To
