Manchester Cotton Goods Market.


- MANCHESTER, July 2s.-Business in both cot,
this week under difficulties. The declaration OF
war for some days almost led to panic, oWlhg
70 the great depreciation Of values for the raw ma.
tertal. Buyers of cloth who had placed orders
when the cost OF cotton was fully ed. or 23ld. per
pound higher than IL has been brought tQ IN con-
sequence OF this unexpected and entirely unlore.
seen war, have naturally felt uneasy to see the
delivery OF such orders. or course the majority
OF such contracts are between honorable men.
and some Of them will not have run OUT oelore inc
end of September. In such cases there Is no at.
TEMPT TO repudiate, but there are number OF
houses pretty well known to the trade VINO are a.
WAYS ready to take advantage OF sufflclent eA-
cHse to break contract. In most cases such eS-
cuses are on account Of deliveries being some
DAYS behind the stipulated time and In some IN.
stances half day or q few hours has been held
sufficient to vtiate an agreement; While IN other
cases exception Is taken to quality or alleged tri
fiing differences. such as easily suggest them
selves to those whose interest 1t is to take advan
taee of them Both spinners and manufacturers
have had trying week. Of 1t under such circum-
stances As to negotiations for new business,
these have had to be pursued under many dlsad-
yantages from the difficulty OF agreeing TO SUI
1cienty low price to suit buyers. On Tuesday last
the quotations for yarns were In many cases tsd
"A ID less than on the previous Friday, and yester
day a further decline or about I'd = 10 was SUBJ
mitted to. In cloth there has been similar de-
cline In values but In cloth as In yarn great irreg
ularlty has prevailed, the eXIgencies Of the pro
ducers in many cases having given buyers greater
advantages than they would have otherwise OBJ
rained. AT the close OF the week there has been
little more steadiness and uniformity In quota
tions but the tendency Of values continues in the
BUYERS favor.

REPUBLICANS OF KNOX COUNTY

The contested election case of Mynatt
VS.. Boyd was determined yesterday BY the
parties, themselves, consenting to again
submit their claims for the office to the peo-
pie of the county. An entry was accord
ingly made by the County Court, declaring
that, by consent of the contestants, the
election of the Goth of March last, so far as
it effected the office of Trustee, was null
and void and new election ordered The
Court then fixed Saturday, the IAN Of Mo5i,
as the day for the election.
The notice is very short and every mo-
ment of the Intervening time must be inn
proved. In the last election there were
two candidates claiming the suffrages ofthe
Republicans for office. They were both
good citizens and true Republicans. We
made that fight under disadvantages. We
are glad this morning to announce that b.
F. Bearden, Esq, who made so creditable a
race in the last election, has, with spirit
of true manliness and unselfishness, de-
clared that he will not now be a candidate
for the Office, but pledges his best efforts on
behalf of Mr.. H. L. w. Mynatt. We arc
therefore warranted in saying that II. Il.
W. MaoH CW be tie only Republican can
diddte before the people in the coming elec-
ton.
Republicans of Knox county! we can
elect Mr.. Mynatt Trustee on the 14th in
slant, if we will but make the effort We
have IA clear working majority in the coun-
ty of at least five hundred. The only dam
ger we apprehend is that the people will
not turn out to vote. The strength of the
Democracy is i'll Knoxville. The vote in
the city can be readily brought out The
Opposition are active and determined to
succeed. They have candidate who
knows how to work and who will work
Our friends in the country must therefore
work, and begin at once. Organize in ev-
cry civil district and see that every man
votes right. Let no time be lost. Begin
to-day and work every day until the cleo
ton and we will certainly succeed.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1870-05-04

Board of Trade will now take hold of this
question and press II vigorously, 1t can ac'
complish much. If the work on the
Charleston road is under contract, let us see
if it cannot be hurried along. If it is not
under contract, let us know why, and what
is needed to bring the matter to that point.
We believe that Cincinnati, defeated in the
Legislature of Kentucky, has gone to Con-
gress for charter for its Southern road.
We have been informed that several of our
citizens-a named in the bill now before
the Committee of Commerce as incorpora-
tors. Is not this the golden opportunity
for Knoxville? If Cincinnati cannot get
a charter to go to Chattanooga, but can get
one to come here, why not see that we Sc
cure the prize? We have made some
praiseworthy spasmodic efforts in the di-
rection referred to, but nothing can be ac-
complished in that.way. Let us have or
ganized efforts, and in due time we will
certainly succeed.
There are other enterprises long discuss
ed, the advantages of which are always
conceded. We need bridge ovor the Hol-
ston river. A large portion of the money
is already subscribed The charter is Sc
cured and all that is needed to insure sue
cess IL adetermined,effor on the part of our
business men.
We need more manufacturing establish
ments. I'VE can never secure permanent
prosperity in any other way. We are in
formed that "A prominent, public spirited
citizen offers to give one-siXth of the capi-
tai stock mot to exceed Sl00,000), of man
ufacturing establishment, and holds his
check ready for that sum. IF our Board of
Trade will make the effort we know they
can secure the balance. Weknow the pro-
per spirit exists among our people but the
great work now needed is to crystalize the
different elements and work through or
ganization.
One other suggestion and we have ended.
We have on the principal streets of our city
a large quantity of unimproved property,
which is held at fabulous prices. The
owners are, men who seldom take part i'll
our public enterprises, but stand ready to
reap the harvests which will come in due
time from the energy and public spirit of
Others. We suggest that the proper COM
mittee take hold of this matter, and see
that this property is assessed for taxation
at prices something near the figures de-
manded by the holders. If they will not
improve it themselves, or sell it at reason
able rates to those who will, let them be
taxed well for it, and we will guarantee
that it will soon be made of more benefit to
the city There should be some change
made in the system of assessment. Men
who improve their property and make it of
use to themselves and the public, ought
not to be taxed higher than those who re-
tard the growth of the city by their eXtor-
tionate demands.

That School Money.

DEAR CHRONICLE: We rustics in the syl-
van retreats of Anderson, seldom have,any-
thing to say in public way, and when we
do speak our words are short simple, but not
sweet. In your last issue / noticed the
Comptrollers card to the County Trustees,
directing them to forward their claims, and
receive their money for the schools. He
also says that if the Trustees will ascertain
the amount due each teacher, he will issue
separate warrants, &c. Now we would
like to know whether the subiunctive
clause is intended to save the Trustees the
trouble of making out the warrants for the
teachers, or is it intended to make teachers
part with said warrants at discount I?
We may he needlessly frightened, but we
hope our Trustees will make an unqualified
and unyielding demand for the whole
amount due the county, without any re-
gard to the respective amount of each
teachers ci,im. Go ahead Mr. Trustee |!
There is not the least particle of danger of
your getting too much. RUsTIcUs.
