ment. This presented but little variation
IRON the preceding year. 1928, the totals
showing falling off of 1904 bales in the
receipts proper and 81 1871 in those from
other delivery ports. while there was an in.
crease in the stock of 9lS bales. IT is rarely
that the movements Of any two consecutive
years show so little difference, presenting
strong and by no means agre cable contrast
to the past year, in which our receipts
proper show decrease of e29 III bales, while
those from other delivery ports exhibit
an increase of 27.ilS bales and the stock
decrease of 5977 bales. Tbe receipts of
new crop up to August 81 were 800
bales, against II in 1873, lGl4 in 1872. % in
1871, 100 IN 1870, 432 in 1869, 416 in 1868 and
~ in 1867. The first arrival was q bale
raised near Brownsville, on the Rio Grande,
shipped by steamer to Rfashear, and for
warded thence by rail. arriving here on
July ID, which was three days later than
the first Rio Glande bale of the previous
year. 1t s now generally understood that
these receipts from the extreme Southern
boundary OF Texas are not a fair indication
of the general progress of the crop in that
State, much less Of that in the Mississippi
valley, or of the Gulf crop. Thus in 1872
the first arrival from the Rio Grande was
on July IL, and we had none from the Mis-
sissippi valley until August 4; in 1873 the
first from the Rio Grande was on July 10,
and the first from the Mississippi valley on
August l. and in 1874 the first from the for.
mer was on July l3 and the first of the lat
ter on August Il. Thus it will be seen that
usually from three to four weeks elapee
between the first arrivals from the two dis
tricts.
Our fret arrival of new crop this year
was on July 10, when Messrs. Beraud d.
Gilbert received by the steamer Trenton,
from the Teche. bale from tie plantation
of Mr.. James Beraud, of St. Landry parish
As this was two or three weeks earlier than
was generally expected it excited more

trade. Net the least among these is the re:
form it has established in the handling of
the staple, guarding it with Jealous care
from the hour of it's landing u the
day OF its shipment to another market.
This measure had been already com,
menced at the time ofour last annual state
ment. but has since demonstrated it's utility
by results which thatrade can not but re-
gard with emphatic appreciation. At the
close OF every year, in making an actual
count OF stock, a certain excess was found
over the amount shown by the running
statement, rapg ing from ., to . q. cent on
the amount Of the gross receipts. This was
enormously supposed to have been almost
entirely caused by Illicit distractions from
the bales in pres ,es and on the levee or in
transit, and was commonly called the ''city
CROP term used in the country to the die
credit of the city trade. This was erroneous
and unjust, large portion of the amount
consisting Of the clearances by coast wise
steamers exceeding the amount actually
shipped, and the ttrict account being
made up from the Customhouse returns,
consequently less than the actual amount
On hand. During the past year we have
regularly corrected these errors, weekly
reducing the amount OF previous clearancts
and adding to the apparent stock, the latter
being thus augmented this year over what
It would have been in the same movement
bales. Hence, instead of being as they are
now stated, 1866 bales, they would have
been upward of 1000 bales. Last year the
amount which should have been thus
deducted from the so.called CITY profits
must have been from 10000 to 10000 bales
and so, in proportion to receipts and coast
wise shipments with all previous crops.
But this is not ALL The socalled '.city
crop" is made up not only from loose cot.
ton, samples, etc, but from the .baled
Enters turned out by the oil mile,
amounting this year to more than
1000 bales, the additional number of
bales from those Of unwieldy size--from
900 to 700 lbs each-being reduced to bales
OF merchantable size, about 4jO fbs.
small amount is also made from parcels of
seed cotton received by small craft which
furnish no manifest and ginned at our city
glnneries. Another means of increasing the
number OF bales is in damaged cottoo.
which is often made up in the pickeries into
o larger number of bales than the original
manifest represented. When all these
causes for augmenting the number of bales
are considered, it greatly reduces the
amount of the city baiings. There wac,
nevertheless, good deal of waste and
not little pilferiDg-less, we suspect, than
in some other markets-under the old sys-
tenn. All this, under the rigid rules and
regulations established by our Exchange
has been corrected, and We accordingly
show the following gratifying result for the
past year:

GENERAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS STANDARD OF
CLASSIFICATION.

SuGAR-In 1884 the comparative fail
ure OF the crop, following limited yield on
the previous season, Was attended by dis
astrous results. Those who were directly
engaged in the trade were the greatest suf-
ferers, but their embarrassments involved
many othere, and prominent bank which
mad discounted large amount of paper for
the parties compromised. Had the season
been propitious, and the yield as largo as
had been anticipated, many failures and
heavy losses. which the capital of the losers
enabled them to sustain without suspen-
sion, might have been prevented. The
bank itself might have derived 9 large profit
from its operations, and be still in active
business, possessing q fair share Of the pub
lie confidence The very opposite of this
however, was the case, and we have no
recollection of Q season which terminated
so enthusiastically. Under such eircum-

respond, I always have it so,' and cut
off further debate. But he has his re-

of axle grease, scented with musk and
age, and before you can divine his
fearful intent, smears it all over your
head and rabs it until you look like an
animated gun-swab. Then he showers
weak bay rum down your back and

THE MONEYLEss NAN.

This beautiful poem was composed years ago oy
Henry Slant n. Maysville. Ky. Such gems OF poetry
are not often met with, written by authors whose
names are never known IN history.
Ia there no place on the face of the earth
where charity dwelleth. where virtue has birth?
And the poor and the wretched shall ask and receive!
Is there no place on earth where knock nom the
win bring kind angel to open the door?
All! search the wide world wherever YOU can.
There is no open door for the moneyless man.
60 look in the hall where the chandelier light
Drives off with its splendor the darkness of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet. In shadOwy fold
sweeps gracefully down with its trimming of gold
And mirrors Of silver take up and renew A1 Is H.
In long lighted vistas the 'wildering view;
Go there in your patches, and find if you can
welcoming smile for the moneyless man.
90 look in your church of the coud-reaching spire,
Which gives back to the his same look OF fire.
Where the arches aud columns are gorgeous within.
And the walls seem as pure as soul without SIN;
90 down the long aisle-see the rich and the great
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate.
Walk down in your patches. and find If you can.
Who opens q pew for moneyless man.
With the scales wherein law weigheth quietly down
Where he frOwns the weak and smiles thestrong
And Furnishes right while he justines wrong:
Where jurors their lips on the bible have laid,
To render verdict they've already made. -
Go there in the court room. and find if you can.
Any law for the case Of moneyless man.
Go look in the banks. where Mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands Of silver and gold;
Where safe from the hands Of the starving and poor
Lies pile upon pile of the Offering ore;
Walk up to the counter-ah. there you may stay,
Till your limbs have grown old and your hair turned
gray,
And you ii find at the bank not one of the clan
With money to lend to 9 moneyless man.
Then 60 to your hovel-no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered so long for her bread:
Kneel down By her pallet and kiss the death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty lost
Then turn in your agony upward to God.
And bless while it smites you the Christening rod
And you'll find at the end OF your lifes little span,
There's welcome above for the moneyless man.

MEN will strive after what seems to
them happiness; and to raise the ideal
OF individual happiness, to make men
really love better things, is the object
at which we are directly to aim, if We
would benefit and save our country

lying FOR OUR COUNTRY-ln timeS o.
war we hear much said about the duty
and glory of dying for our country
Orators who are careful to keep their
precious selves out of the bloody fray,
will harangue audiences by the hour
on the nobleness and reward of other
people laying down their lives to save
their bleeding country. So meritori.
Gus is this sacrifice considered by
some, that they are ready to promise
eternal happiness in heaven to those
who make it, whatever may be their
characters or other deeds while here on
earth.
But the religion which prepares men
for heaven is not manifested by imbru-
ing our hands in the blood Of others
and the act of rushing into the can
mons mouth will not atone for other
sins which have been committed
throughout lifetime
Dying for ones country generally
means, when stript of its sophistry,
dying for those who wish to govern the
country. 1t is dying for kings and no.
bles and other great men who quarrel
among themselves and then, too selfish
to do their own fighting, mcanly call
on their subjects to do it for them.
And when thousands or hundreds of
thousands of these subjects have ''bit-
ten the dust" how soon they are for
gotten and left to molder in unremem-
bered graves, while their poor families
and friends are suffering for the want
of their care and support. What has
been the gain of dying for the conn
tries during the many centuries whose
history has been written in blood? In
many cases where men have died for
their country, their country has died
with them. This was the case with
ancient Greece and Rome. and has
been also with many modern nations.
They have resorted to the sword to
axenge some fancied insult or secure
some unlawful end, and mightier ones
have paid them in the coin of their own
choosing and blotted them from the
map of the continent.
How much more wise and noble to
lue for ones country instead Of dying
for it. When dead there is an end to
all efforts to promote the welfare of
our friends and neighbors. But while
we live we may daily perform deeds,
and exert an influence that shall bless
not only our friends and our country,
but the world.
Let then this false maxim, that it is
our duty to die for our country, be rel
egated to oblivion along with that
equally false one, that the way to pre-
serve peace is to prepare for war.
Both had their origin in times darker
than our own and are unworthy to be
cherished or believed by enlightened
people, L.
