TAXING COTTON wEIGHERs.
BY Aid. Thompson Bill to make all
public weighers of cotton and other pro-
duce apply TO the Recorder for license,
paying the sum of $50 therefor.
The regular order Of business was sus-
pended, and a number on cotton dealers
present invited TO give expression to their
views on the bill.
T. o. Morris, a representative Of the
Cotton Dealers Union, first took the floor
and made some remarks, strongly adyocst-
ing the bill. He said he was delegated by
a large number OF cotton merchants to ex-
plain the object Of the bill, and that it had
been gotten up for the purpose of protect
ing themselves against the Entertainments
Of the Cotton Exchange. He thought the
welfare Of the people demanded that the
bill should be made law.
Mr.. Morris was followed by Thomas
Parks, the Secretary OF the Cotton Ex-
change, who gave some facts and figures in
defense of what had been termed by the
representative of the Cotton Dealers
Union, the ''prOscTiptive tendency of the
Exchange. He thought the Exchange was
beneficial institution TO the city and her
trade.
MeSsrs. Hambrick and French followed,
and strongly urged the passage of the bill,
claiming that the small dealers needed pro-
lection. The regular order of business was
then resumed and the bill pas ed upon its
first reading.

THE STOCK MARKET
exhibits no recuperative power, although the sus-
piciOn prevails that the existing weakness mas been
manufactured Tor the purpose Of enabling the
manipulators to secure basis upon which to make
fresh purchases or induce on the part OF others
disposition to buy Up to the close OF the market,
however, the bait was not tempting. The '.sippery
elm pool" seems to have taught lesson to the
street That has been quite salutary. and there is
no inclination on the part Of small spectators to
wade far from shore. Washington dispatches con-
ttnue to exert their influence. The bill introduced
by Mr.. s. 8. Cox on Wednesday meets the issue
squarely and Is largely endorsed. Its purport Is
that the Secretary OF the Treasury had no right to
issue any portion of the So reserve of legal
tenders, and it provides way for preventing fur
Their harm from this cause. 1t is questionable
whether it would not be better to authorize loan
or some other equally prompt method to retire the
amount already overissued.
