COTTON-The feeling In the market
to-day was better than on Thursday, but
the same difference of views existed be-
tween buyer and seller. Factors are
firm in their demands, and turn 8 deaf
ear to the offerings made. A few out
side lots changed hands, but the sales for
the day foot up lightly. We do not alter

Speakin9 of the "eotton mania" the
Augusta Press says /: There Is a mystic
rious ~infatuation about this staple, of
which it seems impossible for our people
to divest themselves. In other days we
relied on it as the great king which was
to dictate a satisfactory solution Of our
political troubles, and now we cling to
the deIusion that its snow fleece affords
an ample shield against all our troubles.
Men are willing to ignore the condition
of the country, the dangers of confsea-
ton, the terrOFs of military rule, and all
other political ills, il they can but be al
lowed to make q cotton crop. Mean
time, cotton continues to decline in
/ price, and there Is no assurance that the
next crop will bring over ten or fifteen
| cents per pound nor Indeed 10 there any
assurance that the grower will be al
lowed to enjoy the proceeds.
No business is more injured by the
radicalism Of congress than the shoe

settlement of U national affairs. But
the despotism which is now inaugurated
at the south has acted as a great check
on those who you'd wish 70 buy, the
taxes and the currency questions are so
acted upon as to almost prescribe trade,
while the whole matter will be summa
rily settled if the prOfessed cO~nfiscatiOn
bill is carried. The south has been a
liberal customer, but her trade will never
be resumed so long as northern radicals
steal her property, put her people under
martial law, and give a horde of savage
blacks the power they aeny to their
former OWners.-ESseC Banner.
OF the Boston shoe market the Shoe
and Leather Reporter says The boot
and shoe trade-continueS about the same
as it has been for the past month, and,
Notwithstanding the favorable record Of
our shipment table, and the reported
Suspensions of active operations among
manufacturers, the stock on hEn4 seems
to keep pace with the sales, and prices
continue to favor the buyer, with but
little encouragement to manufacturers
of mems and boys work. There has
been some inquiry for rather a new as
sortment Of sizes for gents fine boots
and shoes, they being ordered from nine
to fourteen, indicating that q new class
Of customers are springing up for the
