The Good Templars of Maine are receiving
the earnest thanks of the Southern people
for the aid they have extended to the yellow
fever sufferers. The efforts of Mr.. Andrew J.
Chase, the chief executive officer of the fra.
ternity, to secure subscriptions, so efficiently
seconded by the Secretary of the Order, Mr..
George E. Brackett, are gratefully acknow-
lodged by the Good Templar's Adoocate, the
Southern organ of the society, which says:
''The generous Good Templars of Maine
may have the assurance that their timely
remittance has gladdened the hearts of their
stricken brethren and sisters in at least three
of the Southern States. For ourselves and
for our suffering brethren in the South, we
most fervently thank the Good Templars Of
Maine for this substantial evidence of their
kindly regard" The recognition is prompt
and adequate and emphasizes the value that
these Northern efforts TO mitigate the suffer-
ings under which the South is laboring have
beyond the material aid, great as that is, they
afford. After all, their chief significance and
highest worth are in the evidence afforded of
the complete restoration of kindly feeling
between the long-alienated sections of our
country.

quarter OF the cotton year at least. Some +
the adyices at hand during the week have
also been less favorable respecting the condi-
ton Of the plant, aud latterly the orders from
the south to buy were more pleaty." Watts
& Co.'S Liverpool cotton circular, of May 3lst,
says the strike is likely to run down Man
chester stocks to low point. Il is this,
coupled with the apprehension of a short sup
ply of cotton here next autumn, and the re-
cent large sales made, that have induced
spinners to purchase so freely here for some
weeks past. Their present stock of cotton is
about A, 900 bales less than the maximum
held by them last year Ton the twenty-eighth
Of january. and 81 900 less than the maxi
mum held IN 1876 ION the eighth of April
This is considered the weak point in our
market The statistical position grows
stronger and stronger; the deficiency now
amounts TO about 700, 900 bales. Ii is there
fore certain, even should spinners buy as spar
ingly as suggested, that stocks will be forced
down to an unusually low point next au
tumn. In other words, If consumption is to
90 on about as usual, which il doubtless will,
then 1t will probably take an extraordinary
crop in American the coming season to sup
ply the wants of the world.
Receipts in Memphis during the official
week aggregated SS7 bales, against 1872
bales the previous week, and 39l bales the
corresponding week last season, and 1040
bales the season before. The total receipts
since September l, 1877, were 405, 60I bales,
against $50 093 bales at the corresponding
time last season, showing an increase of 25,-
sos bales. Total receipts same time in 1885
was 4S0,0 47 bales.
Shipments during the Official week aggre-
gated 1872 bales against 1852 bales the
previous week, and 1920 bales the correspond
ing week last season. Total shipments since
September LIST are 402 248 bales, against 367,-
937 bales the same time last year; an increase
of 81, 81 bales.
The total stock on hand was 8645 bales,
against 1910 bales last week, and II, 559
bales at this time last year.
Sales during the week were 300 bales,
none to exporters, 1850 to spinners, and $50

Oar last review Of the oificial week of the
Memphis cotton market quoted mjddling cot
ton at New York at 1850, advanced during
the week 70 ll15c; at New Odeans ii &c,
and so remalnedi a. Liverpool 6iId, ad-
vanced to 8 l6d: at Memphis lie, advanced
10 IIlEc This statement shows that we have
had another encouraging week for cotton.
The European congress to agree on terms OF
pacihcatioa IS sitting at Berlin, and the belief
Is general that there will be no further war.
The strike in England Is Of course against
cotton. but less 50 than was expected, as the
cessation has worked down the stock of man
featured goods at Manchester, which has im-
proved the toae OF business there. The prl1-
cipaI thing that taYors the price OF cotton,
however. IS the low stocks and the decreased
receipts IN England from India and Brazil.
The present aspect of affairs Is decidedly en-
couraging 10 the American cotton-grower.
Liverpool spinuers say they want five million
bales a year raised in America to give them
the supply they want Our Ne nphls sales were
larser this week than for two or three weeks
previously, but they are tnil!ng to what they
could have been had we the cotton to supply
the demand Notwithstanding the increase
Of our receipts above the same time last year,
2j,j00 bales, the stock lett on hand at the
end OF the week Vas only $500 bales, with
less than 5000 bales left unsold. The last
weekly review OF the market IN the New York
Bulletin said: The politics Of Europe, the
condition Of the Liverpool market, the move
ment OF supplies here and the prospects On
the next crop were all contributing elements
10 swerve the course of values, which have
proven OF advantage to both interests, ac-
cordng to variable daily advices; but when
II came to making any radical change, the
power to shape matters was TO BE- found
among the principal operators on the floor OF
the exchanges. The result for the week has
has probably been 20 bring the supplies under
closer control than ever, prices reaching the
highest point since the advance set IN,
and everything would seem to Indicate
that, with harmony prevailing among them,
!, favv financially powerful operators could put
tba market where they pleased, entirely In
dspent Of ITS natural merits. On the new
cron the strengthening mas been more de-
cidsd than for some time, on the theory that,
even admitting the extreme esumS'es OF
e,rov,fb claimed and an unusually early date
ormarketing. all will be wanted TO make good
deficiencies which must exist during the hrst
