SALES OF COTTON FOB FUTURE DE-
LIVERY. .

A correspondent Of the New York Journal
of Commerce inquiries:
Why is it that the prices Of cotton for 1u-
ture delivery ere based on low mlddhngs IN
stead OF middlines as heretoforef ls 1t tine
purpose OF owners aud factors OF cotton TO re-
duce the standard one grader
To which the Journal replies as follows:
Early last season the sales OF cotton for TOR.
ward dehvery were made chiefly Of ''mlddllnR. p"
This led to much trouble, as there was not
enouph of this quality to ill all the contracts,
and to insist on specific performance was In
many cases to corner or emDarrass the selier'
AS general rule lines OF cotton have run un-
everly for several years, and the growers nave
been of late more an: ious about quantity tnan
quality, the change in labor, too, affecting the
condition and classification. Later IN last season
contracts were made for low mlddllng; and as
more Of this qualify was on the market their set
Element gave less trouble. Early this season
the New York Board OF Cotton Brokers by
resolution recommended that all contracts for
forward delivery should be made 'on the
basis" of the grade to be sid j. e., the dehv-
ery should be promised as an average CT the
o,.ahty specified. For the reasons above
named. ana also because OF the improved ma
cbinery which enables spinners to use tholower
GRADES 10 better advantage than heretofore,
the grade OF low mid" ling has now peen gen.
eraliy adopted as the basis OF sales. AS cotton
now comes forward II ia easier to turnlsh that
average than either strict middliug or an as
so1tmept that would average this higher grade.

Tricks OF WALL-srREET.-The New York
correspondent OF the Philadelphia Ledger
writes on Thursday last:
Some of the gold gamblers in Wall-street
managed to make good deal OF money last
night by resorting to trick. which quite
throws the old time operations OF the mock
auction Peter Funks into the shade. 1t was
ascertained, in the fore part # the day, that
the Cuuard. steamer Cuba, sailing this morn
ing, would not take dollar in specie, where
upon the premium declined to 36a. In order
to reverse this wnward movement and give
the market a sharp twist the other way. cer-
tam parties bad $750.0O0 taken from the vaults
of one Of the banks, in the shape Of double
eagles done up in kegs, and these were driven
up and down the street, till late in the day, as
if en- route 20 the place Of shipment. The bait
took. nobody now could doubt that shipments
would be large. and straightway the market
advanced to 37I an improvement OF per
cent. People who purchased a quarter OF
million or so. at the decline, about noon, were
thus enabled to sell out al handsome profit,
and at the same time to afford the confiding
public another brilliant specimen OF sharp
practice and he sort OF moral ideas that doml-
nate in Wall-street.

FINE COTTON.
From the Macon telegraph

There has been great deal of talk and blow
here OF late about f1ne cotton IN this section
and near Fufsula, Als., but we undertake TO
say that Judge J. ". Knott has patch OF cet-
ton about one mile from the city, and near his
residence, that bangs all the brag cotton we
hear and read go much about. He has three
patches of the Peeler and Moina varieties OF
cotton, which are exceedingly fine. The first
is q patch of nearly an acre, Vt the Peeler
variety, planted on tne 18Th OF May last, which
will average tour feet 10 beight, and not ono
stalk has less than one hundred bolls, blooms
and forms, and many numbering as high as
three hundred. He used different fertilizers
on different rows III the patch, but the dif-
Ia ths slzs aBa appearance 0 se.
The next is patch of several acres OF the
Mona variety, planted in squares Of about
three feet, which IS also very beautiful and
heavily fruited. 1t was planted on the 10Th OF
Nav, and the plants though not quite 80 high
as in the first patch, are, nevertheless, loaded
with fruit, and will average fully as much lint
cotton per acre.
We come now to the third and last patch,
which, we dare say, cannot be beat in the
State, il in the entire South. There ID one
acre aud half in the patch, and the cotton
is Of the Moina variety. It was planted on t1e
of q mixture Of fertilizers on the piece OF
ground-composed OF LOO pounds Of Baw's
Rswbone, 100 pounds OF Per lvian Gu
apo, 400 pounds Of Plaster. 100 pounds
Of Soluble Pacific, and 30 pounds OF
Salt. There is some defects in the stand.
but we never saw such cotton at this season OF
the year in this latitude, and nowhere did we
ever ses stalks more heavily fruited. We
counted seventy.ave bo)ls on one stalk, and
not one OF them were smaller than q guinea
egg, and many as large as hen egg. On many
Of the stalks there are between three and four
hundred bolls, blooms and torms, and on no
stalk do We believe there are less than one hum
dred and atty. The Judge will make fifteen
hundred pounds Of lint cotton on this patch OF
picking season. It is the long staple variety
OF cotton, and sold in Savannah last fall at
Forty-four cents per pound when the ordinary
middlings we're selling at twenty eight cents.
