will be secured in all probability during
this month, as but $40 cubic yards
now interfere with channel of that
depth by $50 feet in width. The
United States commission Of engineers, who
in 1874 recommended the jetty system for the
mass we are improving, considered a per-

channel nowhere less than 80 feet deep, with 9
width Of $50 feet. To create such width OF 80

from the city. for the interest tax the sum of

up to January l. 1878. was about s1 $50 900. the

Tho fact that tho late decision of the Supreme

to have been lost. tsnee otherwise they would

oar last review of the official week of the
cotton market quoted middling cotton In
New York at llir:, advanced during the
week ID / 3-l6c. New Orleans quoted l02Ic,
advanced to lie. Liverpool quoted sgd,
advanced to 3-l6d. Memphis quoted l01 &c,
advanced to 1890. This statement shows
that during another wee the influences have
favored higher prices for cotton. The main
one was, Of course, the greatly increased
probability Of peace, decreasing stocks are
also an important element in the advance.
An examination of the table below shows
that in Memphis our receipts are "A, 400 bales
higher than at the same date last year, while
our stock is down to IL 400 bales. against
l., 800 at the same time last year, and 81 500
the year before that. At the United States
ports receipts lave been -, 80 bales during
the week, against 9iS2 the same week last
year, aad the total receipts are
4, 10000 bales, against 3,923,000 the
year before. la our market there
has been good demand all week,
but the sales were small tor the small
stock caused holders to stand out firmly for
higher figures, limiting sales. With coDtin-
uance of good prospects, such as appear to be
dawnlng iiom the ntaspect OF European
news, the holders of cotton will evidently
control the market tor the remainder of the
season. The last weekly review Of the cot
ton market IN the New York Bulletin says
the statistic Il position gives strength to cot
ton, and tnere are hopes OF the labor difficult
ties subsidiaR; operators for rise say they
are ready 10 take all that Is offered to them.

18th says pricfs advance, owing to the
strength Of { le statistical position, although
war news Is a my stery and strikes in the
manufacturing d,s tricts are going on.
Receipts in Memphis during the official
week aggregated 2I26 bales, against 1929
bales the previous week, and 6S3 bales the
corresponding week last season, and 1886
bales the season before. The total receipts
since September l. 1871. were 4O3, Az bales,
against $40 097 bales at the corresponding
time last season, showing an increase of a.
