Ros1N-During the week just closed the mar
ket generally has ruled about the same as noted
in our last. For the finer qualities bat little de-
mand has existed, and sales have been difficult
to make unless at lower figures. For the lower
grades q fair demand existed in the earlier part
Of the week, and all offered was readily taken;-
for a day or two past, however, there has been
some duIlness manifest, cccasioned mainly by
the want of ship room, (which is very scarce at
presently and buyers are not disposed to operate
to any extent. Receipts are rahter light, and
there ia only small stock in factors hands
The weeks Gales are az followe: Friday, 1928

Tomato Beer

Gather the fruit once week, stem, wash
and mash it ; strain through coarse linen
bag, and to every gallon of the juice add
pound of good moist brown sugar. Let it
stand nine days, and then pour it off from
the pulp, which will settle in the bottom
of the jar. Bottle it closely, and the long
er you keep it the better it is when you
want to use it. Take pitcher that will
hold as much as you want to use, fill it
nearly full of sweetened water. add some
of the preparation already described, and
you will find it equal to the best lemonade,
costing almost nothing. To every gallon
of sweetened water add half tumbler of
beer

After having the necessary deductions,
there is left for home consumption, North
and South, 964, S42 bales. We have put
down for Southern consumption 1l2,O
bales, which includes $4,000 bales taken
for consumption in Virginia and counted
in the exports from that State, leaving
for Northern consumption $50 $40 bales,
against $40, 720, showing an increase OF
II, 1872 bales.
From letter dated 1st instant, received
from B. F. Nourse, Esq, of Boston, Char
man of the Statistical Committee OF the
Manufacturers and Planters Association
of the United States, an increase OF per
cent. in Northern consumption is assumed
the past year, over that of 1068-69, which
shows an increase of S, 4O7 bales, thus
making, according to Mr.. Nourse's assump-
ton, the past years consumption, 049, I2I
bales Our figures show the Northern
consumption the past year to be oo2'04z
bales, difference of only 3,715 bales.
The value of the crop of the past year
(1S69-7O) may be put down in round num-
bers at 1926, 100000. This immense
amount of money has been of lncalcalable
benefit to the entire country.
The summing up of the crop, as devel-
oped in our statement, exceeds the esti-
mates of the most sanguine in the early
part of the season from half to three
Quarters of a million of bales, which
proves the utter fallacy of the advance
statements of growing crops, which are
heralded throughout Europe and the
Northern States for the purpose of Affect
ing prices. Such statements work great
injury to the planter as we'll as the buyer
and consumer.

HNfxeGf CrOnS.

A vast deal has been said in the papers
against the policy of planters raising cot
ton alone. to the neglect of other things.
It has been found very difficult to create
any change in this policy, though the
country has suffered by it. Farmers will
do as they please, and they resolutely
stick to their cotton monopoly.
The proper way to reach the matter IS
not simply to theorize about 1t, but to
give facts and figures demonstrating the
advantage of the mixed crop plan over the
other.
We find in the Southern Cultivator the
result of an actual experience, which illus
trates the matter so fully that we reproduce
the article.
The statements are based on two farms
of equal fertility of two hundred acres
each.
The expense of the cotton farm will be
for fifteen hands and five mules !; for the
mixed farm ten hands and five mules. The
results are we'll worthy of notice

We present to the commercial world this

of the great staple the past year as correct
ly as is possible.
The summing up of the crop of 1S69-'7O,
as shown by our statement, is 3,2O3, o20
bales, an increase in production of 045,-
459 bales over 1S68-'69. This increase has
been mainly absorbed by European coun-
tries, as will be seen by the annexed com

Tragedy in New York.

Another tragic occurrence took place in
Greene street, New York, last Friday
night. For some time an officer Of en-
gineers, named William Marsh, attached
to the barracks at Wilett's Point, has been
very much infatuated with a frail woman
named Minnie Honstedt, until recently
resident of Greene street. He had fur
nished her with considerable sums of
money, and wanted her to marry him.
This she positively refused to do. On
Friday night he went to her house with
party of friends, when he again requested
the woman to marry, and she again refused.
Placing his left hand on her right shout
der, Marsh drew the pistol that he had
concealed in handkerchief from his
pocket, and placed it against the woman,
over the region Of the stomach and fred
it. He fred one shot at his own head, but
it went wide Of the mark. Determined
not to be foiled, Marsh rccocked the
weapon, and placing it to his forehead,
discharged if, the ball entering the fore
head and lodging against the skull, over
the right eye. Both fell to the floor, the
woman apparently MORALLY wounded. On
Saturday night she was still alive but very
low. and Marsh was at once arrested. He
expresses regret at not having killed her.
It is supposed he will recover.

MeSSrS. Edit0rS:-It is a great inconve-
nience to people accustomed to daily mails
and newspapers, to be deprived of them
even for one day. On yesterday we expe-
rienced this punishment in getting no
mail at all. The man who attends to the
mail bags delivered one here that could
not be opened, the Postmaster having no
key to fit the lock, SO our letters on bust
ness, &C.. cannot be attended to. Such
gross negligence as this on the part of
Postoffice employees should be properly
punished by the Department, and persons
put in Office who viii attend To their du-
ties.
Il is very evident that the Postof1ice is
the most carelessly managed department
of the q. S. Government and to deprive
large community of their mail matter
for so long a time, is a serious inconveni-
ence to the business public, requiring re-
constructions Pro Bono PUBLCo.

I am happy to say, that the fact is rap
idly becoming evident, that our past prac-
tice, that of planting all, or nearly all cot
ton, and purchasing our provisions. has
not only been unwise and poor fnancier
ing, but suicidal.
The exhibits of the commercial world
clearly demonstrate that in the same ratio
that we increase the production of cotton,
do we diminish it's value, and increase the
demand for provisions, and, consequently,
its price. And as "self.preserVatlon is
the first law of nature, and as we are under
no special obligations to send all of our
money to the North and West for proVi-
