ton in the Country to fill them. Tt
make the matter doubly sure they have
been shipping to Liverpool considera-
that was rendered to them. AS 2Gl
cents here is equivalent to 1O1d gold,
Including only I'd freight and the usual
charges. the loss to the shipper is over
$12 per bale, even presuming that cur
low middhng will go .niddling there,
which is doubtful. But however great
the loss the bulls consider that it would
be more than made good to them i'll
the higher prices they would secure on
the maturing contracts they hold =
These facts becoming known to the
bears they organized also first, they
| resolved to sell no more contracts for
July or August unless they had OF
| could get the cotton against 1t and
second, they agreed to deliver the cot
ton ON all contracts sold for July, fore.
ing the bulls to store or ship, or sell
and break the market. Here was GER
tainly a very square fight, and which
way the scales would turn appeared to
outsiders doubtful. The improving
crop reports, however, seem to have
given the advantage to the bears. In
view of them, all legitimate demand
for cotton ceased !; spinners did not
want it at the ruling prices, and ship
pers could do nothing in the face of
our higher rates. Hence there was
plenty of cotton for delivery, and it
turned in pretty freely in fact, street
report says that one of the contending
parties is now crying hold enough. -
just at this point appears letter from.
Mr.. b. F. Nourse, of Boston, advising
spinners, in view of the unsatisfactory
condition of the goods trade to shut
up their mills, making their summer
vacation O month longer than usual,
and intimating that they might sell
their present stock of cotton, as it
seems to be i'll such demand in New
York, and buy it i'll at a very much
lower rate later on. THIS letter has
added another element IF weakness to
the market, and although the situation
at present is little shaky. AS legiti-
mate trade, both ill raw material and
i'll goods, is suffering from the effects
OF the present cornering operations,
no outside sympathy is felt for the
losing side. There is moral to our
little story, but We think We will defer
it,
The general cotton movement for
the week was as follows: 1t appears
that the total receipts for the seven
days have reached 13, ,9e3 bales against
10, 1S1 bales last week, II, ,42S bales the
previous week and 1866 bales three
weeks since, making the total receipts
since the first OF September, 1872, |
], ,552, 169 bales against 2,703, COS bales
for the same period of 1S71-'72, show
ing an increase since September 1,
1872, of S4S, Sol Lales.
The exports for the week ending this
evening reach Il total of %, ,573 bales of |
which 21, 1897 were to Great Britain, !
656 bales to France, and 1850 bales to
rest of the Continent, while the stocks
as made up this evening, are now Ill.,
561 bales.
The receipts at our port for the week
were 2O6 bales. The exports were 17S |

The recent attempt TO extradite the
editor of the New York SIN, for an
alleged libel in exposing the frauds of
the Washington Ring. for trial before
the Police Court of the District of
Columbia, without a jury, awakened
almost instantaneously attention all
over the country: This shows that
the interest in trial by jury is national;
and the IN amer in which it has been
manifested indicates that tie determi-
nation to maintain that right is, as tn
attachment to it is, all-pervading.

"A alan Beiled Alive i'm a ERo Spring.
Ahorrib!e accident occurred few days
since at Steamboat Springs, Washo
county, which will PROBABLY result in
the death of G.. W. Cullen, proprietor
of the hotel and springs. For tue
following particulars in regard to the
affair we are indebted to DR.. G. c.
Green, OF this city. who was summon
ed by telegraph to the assistance of
the scalded man. Mr.. Cullen was en-
gagged in erecting new bath house
over large pool of boiling water, for
use in giving steam baths. Timbers
for the fOIIndrtIOn of the structure had
been laid across the boiling pco',
which is four or five feet in depth
and Mr.. Cullen had walked out on one
of these for the purpose OF arranging
cross-timber, when he slipped and fell
into the boiling water. The water
was so deep that it reached nearly to
his breast bone, and is so hot that an
egg is cooked in it in two minutes
When he fell in it he was either SO
frightened or felt so much pain that
for time he seemed i'll Il manner para
lyZcd and incapable of doing anything
toward getting out. 1t is SAID that he
was III the spring full half IA minute
before lie got-out, which he did at Last
through his own exartions and the
! help OF Il man who came to il 5 assis-
/ tauce. He was taken 10 the hotel and
stripped, when the greater part of the
skin slipped off his hody from. has hrest
bone downward. c. \. V. Putnam,
| State Printer, James Gray. of this city,
and others who happened 10 be visit

done for the suffering man pending
/ the arrival of the physician. They got
| a large quantity OF honr and packed
him III 1t, and kept him i'll this condi

DIR. Green says that the man may he
said to be literally cooked alive. As to
whether he will live or not he cannot
say, but appears to think that his re-
covery would be little short OF i

North Carolina bacon has been in good
enquiry, but the stock is small and
transactions are only on a limited
scale. The demands principally are
for hams. the enquiry existing for
sides and shoulders being quite small.
We quote North Carolina bacon as
follows 9@10 cents for shoulders,
11@12 cents for sides, 12@124 for hog
round and 17!@1Sa cents for hams.
We quote Westey7a Smoked Meats at 9
@9i cents for shoulders, 11l@119 cents
for sides, 17@1S cents for hams. Dry
Sotted sells at S4@S! cents for shoul-
ders, 104@10I cents for sides.--
LARD-North Carolina is scarce and
wanted. Sells at HOP cents p ID.
Northern steam refined, in buckets and
tubs, sells at 10!@111 cents f9 ID.
EGGS-There is larger supply at
present than there has been for some
weeks past. In consequence of this
there is falling off in the demand,
and dealers find it impossible to pay
more than 1920 cents p dozen.
PEANUTS-For the past month or
so the market has been very steady,
with fair export demand and light
receipts and small stocks. The trade
has reached healthy state and dealers
confidently state it as their opinion
that the price will go up. The New
York Ameyicase Grocer, of last Satur-
day, commenting upon the condition
of the trade, says
"The stock of Wilmington,
Virginia and Tennessee is about
10000 bags, or 100000 bush
els, less than at this season for years
past. On account Of low prices Afri-
cans were not imported last year, and
the stock is not one-fourth the usual
quantity. Most of the stock is in
few hands, who are disposed to wait
Tor future developments. Within the
last thirty days the market has been
fairly active, and prices advanced fully
25 per cent. Messrs. Worth & Worth,
of Wilmington, n. c., advise us that
the present crop has well nigh come
forward, and that the growing crop
will be unusually small, no matter how
fine the yield. At the time of
planting prices ruled So low
farmers planted but half of
crop, and the yield will not be more
than one-half to two thirds what it has
been heretofore We quote Viii

cotton well, there is too much wind on
the coast, and those who have tried
planting the staple are not encouraged
to attempt to substitute it, and the
chances are that another year peanuts
will be largely planted, if prices rule
high this Season."

THE CHOLERA.

EVANSVILLE, IND, July 22-Noon.
The advices from Princeton, about
twenty-five miles north of this city,
report that the cholera is in that
neigborhood. Three or four miles
east of Princeton, on Indian Greek,
ten persons have died since last Friday
and new cases are reported daily.
Reports were current that this dis
ease had broken out in CaImi and Mt.
Carmel, Illinois, but it is believed that
the stories are unfounded.
Advices from Mt. Vernon state that
there are only about 1,5OO people in
that place, and the surrounding towns
are filed with Mt. Vernon citizens who
have fed from their own city. The
Board of Health requested all persons
not to visit the place for the pr ,sent.
CHICAGO, July 23-Noon.-The
Board of Health reports 423 deaths,
including 149 from cholera morbus,
all of which were among the recently
arrived emigrants.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, July 23-Noon.
There were 376 deaths i'll this city, in
Guiding 25S under five years. There
is heavy increase III the mortality
among children. An investigation in
different wards shows that cholera
morbus, cholera infantum, diarrhma,
intermittent fever and other diseases
incidental to bad ventilation and over
crowded tenements and the lack of
care to the little ones was the cause of
such mortality.

to note on former quotations. The

The market ruled unchanged up to
Monday, but on that day, the frmness
spoken of above, pervaded and an adj
vance of 10 cents was gained on yellow

We bavo in the foregoing several times al
Iuded to the prevailing abuse of Distributing
Rum TO The Lab0urers. The practice may to
a certain extent be said to stand in connection
with the existing system of payment work
that could not be remunerated in money, was
compensated by "extra-provision,' given &C.
caSlonally and consisting Of articles which the la
DourerS like best "a certain ration of rum,
especially for Saturday work, has therefore
been considered as something simply due to the
labOurers, big and little. But that abuse is
not a necessary consequence of the old Regula-
lions the use of rum as an extra-perquisite is
too convenient a stand blythe habit of using
it as such has become too inveterate, to. admit
the hope that the abuse would not thrive un-
der any system whatever. In slave-time there
were, as will be remembered, enactments
from 1886 and 1887 on that head, and in
the Draft of Regulations laid before the Colo
NAL Council in 1852 there was also a clause
prohibiting it, so that the idea of having such
a prohibitory clause among the enactments re-
gulating the labourquestion, is one with which
we have grown familiar; and as long as there
are no general cnaCtmentS on that head, par
tlcuIarly In the iorm of tax on Rum-produc-
ton, so that the consumers could be taxed as
we'll as the exporters, and thus moderating the
consumption of the article, the clause here con-
tanned will be of practical use.
