will yet be free buyers n addition to the
call from exporters. They do not, how
ever. feel sanguine enough to invest
freely any more than the opposite in
terest are wiling to become "short" be-
yond present engagements, and oper-
ators therefore may be considered at
the moment as largely awaiting some
new Development of decided eharac-
ter. The Bulletin finds not a few who
think this viii come from abroad. Most
recent influences swaying the market
have been of local character, and the
idea was to cut loose from Liverpool,
with the plan working to some extent
during the past week. Liverpool, how
ever, has been gradually shrinking and
showing many evidences of demoraliza,
ton, and with rumors of further fail
ures the feeling in New York is still
feverish and doubtful, with a few
operators fearful that matters viii grow
much more serious.
In regard to the new crop, eur con-
temporary has but little to say beyond
the fact that all previous favorable ac-
counts have been fully confirmed, and
late advices areof tbemost cheerful and
encouraging character. In some Sec
tions the fields are little backward,
but the stand generally is well up nd
hardy, almost entirely free from weeds,
etc, labor plenty and serviceable, and
a few blooms have been reported. OF
course this has had a very neutralizing
effect against buoyant tendencies, and,
though overcome to some extent on
nearby maturing contracts, has
checked calls for the late months and
latterly increased the desire to sell.

THE PRESENT ASPECT OF THE
COTTON MARKET

In its review of last weeks cotton
movement, the NeW York Bulletin goes
somewhat deeper than has been its
wont, of late, into the circumstances
which cause the present anomalous
condition Of the cotton market. One
thing, it thinks, is certain-not
many are anxious to part with actual
cotton Just now, and one of the theO-
ries advanced as a probable base for a
portion of the weeks manipulation was
the effort to keep values just high
enough to prevent exporters getting
hold Of more tnan odd parcels. 1t is
also intimated by the Bulletin that the
leading "bear" operators have been
largely instrumental in stimulating
matters, with an object of frightening
all the small shorts into covering and
ultimately obtaining clear field for
large and general break, the idea of
any successful corner" being formed
meeting with no endorsement by those
who advance this theory.
Unquestionably number Of opera
tors entertain considerable faith in
cotton on the balance Of this cotton
year, based upon the probabilities of
an oversold market, a lighter stock
than generally admitted, and the
that a great many spinners

BRISTOW MUST NOT CONTRACT
TOE MUCH,
New York Herald.

The Secretary of the Treasury is
steadily contracting tn amount of the
fractional currency. The sum out
standing on the LIST of July was S42,-
I29, 900, against f6,39O,OOO on jan
uary LIST; showing a reduction of 81
POI, 900 since the Resumption Act took
effect. If this form Of currency be
curtailed at this rate, we shall soon
discover a scarcity of small change,
and the Secretary viii find it necessary
to put his new silver coinage into circu-
latioD; a course which, according to a
dispatch IN anOthercOlumn, heintends to
adopt at an early day. The same dis
patch states thai the Secretary cOnten-
plates the suspension of gold sales,
with a view to boarding gold IN prepar-
ton for resumption. Mr.. BristOw will
find his powers, in that matter, very
limited. We cannot well DO with much
less than the present amount for mar
ket purposes; and if the government
withbo,ds gold imperatively needed for
business transactions, consequences will
follow Of such a serious nature as to
compel an early modification of the
boarding policy. 1t is to be hoped Mr..
Bristow viii make no hasty resolves on
this subject.

CAPTAIN ROBINSON, Of the United
States Engineer Corps, has recently
completed the survey made IN accord
ance with an act Of the last Congress
of a route for a canal TO connect the
waters Of the Tennessee with the head
waters of the Tombigbee rivers. The
result of this instrumental survey, 1t
is said, demonstrates the feasibility of
the project, but only at an expense
which, in the opinion Of the well in
formed, would be altogether dispropor-
tionate to the benefit anticipated. The
Mobile Register, however, takes a diff
ferent view, and says: 1--WE have al
ways looked upon the CoOsa route as
the only feasible way of connecting the
waters of Mobile with the Tennessee;
still, if we can reach the Tennessee by
way of the Tombigbee at no greater
cost than two millions of dollaTs-as
estimated-the scheme is by no means
q visionary or uncertain one" Our
Chattanooga contemporaries viii doubt
less agree with the Register, on the
principle that half loaf is better than
no bread.

MORTON's TREATY WITH PINCH.
New Orleans Correspondence Of the New York
World

New Orleans Correspondence Of the New York
World.
1t Will be remembered that after the
adjournment of the Senate a party,
composed of Morton, Cameron, Tom
Scott, and others, came to this city for
the purpose of embarking on a Gov
eminent yacht for Vera Cruz. For
some reason or other, the trip was
abandoned, and Mr.. Morton remained
here several days, detained, it was said,
by the illness of his wife. The Senator
employed his time in gauging his
chances for Louisiana's vote IN tn e
next Republican National Convention
He received many visitors, mostly
black, and most religiously observed
the old proverbial maxim about making
hay while the sun shines. Pinchback
was with him ever.
As Morton was to Pinchback in
Washington, so was Pinchback to Nor
ton in New Orleans. He was with him
from early In the morning till late at
night. Of course something was up.
Morton wanted something. What is
it d.? Kellogg asked. What's up? NUT

and held his peace. Morton left as he
had come, leaving Kellogg & Co. burst
ing with curiosity. But murder Will
out, and the curiosity of Kellogg and
Packard, when they read this, viii at
last be gratifed.
The great conspiracy hatched by
Morton and Pinch has leaked out and
come into my possession, and viii show
the adroi ness Of Morton. 1t is this:
Pinchbacs, after a weak contest, will
abandon his Senatorial clam, and re-
turn here to use his influence TO attain
the election of Jim Casey to the Sen
ate. In return, Morton is to use his
influence to secure Pinchback's cleo
ton as Clerk of the Senate. 1t is
hoped that by this arrangement the
colored vote viii be secured IN &c,
while Pinchback viii be satisfied by
his elevation to the Clerkship. 1t has
long been Grants desire to have Casey
IN the Senate, and Morton either came
here, or took advantage of being here,

of his Senatorial aspirations.

ceedingly lucrative, as vel as Of
great political Importance to the
United States-political Importance,
because in following out the ex-
ample of Great Britain in procuring
markets for her productions and man
ufactures, the Western States will not
only find in Brazil ready markets for
all their produce and articles of manu-
facture, but also establish by this COM
mercial intercourse social relations of
confidence and esteem which cannot
fail to unite the two nations by
the strongest bonds of friend
ship. Assuming that the mer-
chants, agricultuEists and manufactu-
rers of the cities Of the Mississippi
Valley would become the principal
stockholders in the steamship com
pany contemplated to be estab ished,
he is of opinion that a line thus con-
stituted would find more favor and be-
come more popular than any line now
running from the Eastern ports Of the
United States or Europe.
This project Of a steamship line to
Rio has been taken hold of by the
progressive men of st. Louis in earnest,
and the greatest interest in its success
is manifested all along the Mississippi
river from that city to New Orleans
With the mouth of the great Father
of Waters open, and direct trade with
Europe and South America established,
the problem of cheap transportation
will have been solved at last.
