Mark Twain produces one Of the most
striking cases Of meanness on record.
He says he knows society which hired
IA man to blast rocks, and as he was
pounding the powder with crowbar, an
explosion took place, sending the man
and crowbar out Of sight. But they came
down all right and the man went to work
again promptly. But though he was gone
only fifteen minutes the company locked
him for lost time.

MONEY.

There is no change to notice in the
condition of financial affairs to-day. The
demand for accommodation are less ac-
tive at the banks and upon the street
owing to limited transactions in the
staple to-day. Exchange is not offering
very literally. The rates continue irreg-
ular, the majority of the banks discount
ing at &c, while others take it at ic. Lo-
cal stocks and bonds are quiet and with
out change, the only noticeable demand
being for county warrants, which are
purchased at 81 to 67!c for small to
round lots dealers disposing of the same
at 20 to lie to taxpayers. Gold is pur-
chased to-day at III to liz. The open
ing New York rate was ll22, and the
closing rate at noon 1923. Government
securities opened dull, with a slight de-
cline. Sterling exchange opened active
al 1921. Our early dispatches from Lon
don reported better feeling in the stock
market, based upon the note of Earl
Granville, and the decided attitude taken
therein against Russia designs. A later
dispatch reports that market stillfurther
improved, with TN feeling of confidence
shared by all. The latter dispatch gave
the following quotations: Copsols, for
money, 81; for account, 92l; j-2Os, of
go, 81! to s7s.

There is no change of Importance in
the general market. Excepting slight
decline in bulk meats, prices are the
same as yesterday. The demand for pro
visions is less active and the supply in
creasing. In the way of grain, corn and
bran were in demand and firm, while oats
and hay were rather sluggish than other
wise, excepting better qualities of the
latter, for which there was fair demand
Dry sailed meats are now all the rage
and Notwithstanding bacon is extremely
scarce, prices are gradually giving way.
New mess pork meets with very little de-
mand and of old there is very little in
market. A slightly improved movement
in flour was experienced, but resulted ir
no variation of prices. Lard is. weak
and sells slowly Stocks are, as yet,
small, and will be so until prices reach
bottom or become more settled than at
present.
Referring to the general market, the
st. Louis Republican of yesterday says;
There was more frmness in -four yes
terday, in consequence of the advance
in wheat and holders demanded an
advance. Buyers, however, do not take
hold very freely. Wheat was in active
request at an advance of 2 to &c for
spring, and fully Sc higher for winter
Corn again advanced sharply. The de-
mand especially for new yellow for ship
ment, and new white for milling, is far
in excess of the supply. Oats were in
request, and in consequence of favor
able advices from below were a shade
higher. Hay was in active request at
full prices Highwines continue dull at
nominal prices. There is fair demand
for provisions at full prices, but the stock
is so scarce that transactions are limited

COTTON.


The early Liverpool dispatches to-day
reported that market heavy at the clos
ing rates of yesterday. This unfavor-
able news caused a decline of &c in New
York, and had depressing effect upon
this market; holders, however were not
willing 70 make any concessions, and
buyers were not willing to invest. Later
advices from Liverpool reported that
fiat, noting a decline of I'd and large
falling off in the sales. Factors on the
reception of this news changed their
programme somewhat, and many were
willing to sell at ic less than the offering
rates of yesterday, but could not find
buyers at any price. Some few sales
were made early in the day, amounting
to, perhaps, $50 bales, including a mixed
lot of III bales by one buyer, averaging,
perhaps, low middling, at II ll-l6 cents;
also few bales of middling at l4sc, and
strict good ordinary at lilc. These
prices could not have been obtained an
hour later, however, as the New York
market declined rapidly, opening at l6sc
for middling, and at noon closing at l6Ic.
At noon the market here was irregular,
owing to the diversity of opinions, and
accurate quotations could not be given.
The sales at all United States ports yes
terday were 1850 bales; receipts, 1899
bales.

many obstacles, satisfactory TO all parties.
An old planter who visited the place day
before yesterday reports that they were do

got to do, to-wit: getting wood out of a
swamp, where they had to wade and work
all day above their ankles in water They
were cheerful, active, and Jealous to q de-
gree which made our old planter sigh for a
few such on his own plantation. With such
laborers, or a fair proportion of them, we
could see revive our sugar production, and
in these lowlands raise all the sugar and
rice that would be needed for consumption
In the United States. The. need of
this new labor is especially impressed
upon our planters by the general

and all the nonsense Of political campaigns
on the brain, and are quite indifferent % the
their ticket rnd candidates are Of far more
interest to them than the yield of the plan
tation on which they are employed. The
present election will involve waste Of pro-
iduction amounting to millions Of value. The
