The New York Bulletin, of Monday re-
ports: About the only new position to record
for the day Is the further progress of the ad
vance on the present crop, the features and
influences on the general market remaining
much the same. The talk of corner on
August is very common on the floor. and
while portion of the trade affect 10 believe
that corner cannot be perfected for want of
sufficient material 10 work on. the possibility
of such an event Is accepted by unprotected
shorts, who continue TO cover TO a considera-
BILE extent. Ii Is also very evident that ope-
rators for a nse have matters very much ia
der control, and generally admitted that if
so inclined manipuIators for a rise can place
the market where they please. independent
OF any apparent adverse influence. Ship
pers do not appear TO be represented. There
was. however, a fair call from spinners, and
the tone OF the market ruled very firm through
out, with full former values asked and the
offering of stocks quite limited, and especially
so to buyers not likely TO take cotton off the
market"

FINANCIAL.

Business 10 the city was very dull yester-
day, yet places Of business were kept open
the same numb T Of hours As # 1t was active.
In New York, the Post tuere says Wall street
has practically haii-holiday every Saturday,
but here stores are kept open full time every
evening and full time every Saturday. Not
withstanding some better call TO. money, It is
still very easy aud can be bad as low as
per cent. Expectations OF better trade cause
an anticipation OF approaching hghtness, as
so large an am0unt OF floating capital has
been absorbed IN bonds and other IN
vestments. Exchange quoted at par buy
ing and i premium selling on New York;
on other eastern cities par buying, and Il
premium selling for both demand and sight;
on New Orleans. Il discount buying; selling
at par. The New York Bulletin, of Mon
dav. SAYS: money t).day lent on call at
IG2 per cent, the ruling quotation having
been / 4 per cent. The weekly hank state
ment OF the New York banks was again very
favorable, the surplus reserve having risen to
$24, 232 AS, or about 81 500, 900 above what
it was a year ago. IL Is notable that the le-
bartender notes are in amount, fer the first
time this year. above the corresponding week
of last year" Among the subjects gaining
early attention from the commercial law COM
mittee OF the rational board of trade, Is
that Of usury. The diverse laws
in the several States fixing the
legal rate of interest are embarrassing to in
terstlte tcdde and commerce. Ine sub
committee having charge Of this question,
and who are to report upon it, are we'll
known lawyers in New York, Mobile, Chi
cago. Baltimore, and Philadelphia. All the
legislatures do with this subject is to make
mischief No paper called an act of the leg
islature can make money low when the de-
mand is above the supply, or high when it is
in larger supply than demand. In Tennessee
the legislature recently enacted that the in
~ ha 60 =
has been six per cent, and tn per cent and
every figure between the two, since that act
was passed. That act, however, had nothing
to do with the lIctuatiOnsi the legislature
might as well have enacted that a six foot
tide should come up the Mississippi daily to
the northern Tennessee line. The tide would
have been as obedieut as the interest rate is.
Paying men to 90 to Nashville and pepetrate
such silly Legislation Is en- expensive and dis
appointing amusement.

1t has been settled by that class of
men in Worthington who don't pat
ronize the ADVANCE. bnt borrow. it
regularly from their neighbors and
read it with mouths wide open, tnat
We have gone too far and that the
"camel's back is broken" They have
decided to WITHDRAW their support"
as the scatfoltling said to the building.
They will not support" us any more
by reading their nelghbor's copy Of the
ADVANCE, and they will "withdrsw"
the advertising patronage which they
never extended to us. This, iC is sup
posed, will bring us to CUR senses and
teach us that we must publish paper
to suit them.
They have been offended So times Il
year for the last four or five years and
have sworn every week that now they
would cease to support such "a awful"
paper by borrowing it and reading it
regularly, but now they are mad in
earnest. Now they will quit. Sec if
they don't.
This last ounce which broke the
camel's back was an article which we
copied from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
We reply that if the Cincinnati Enquir-
er can publish such articles we can.
Oh. but the Enquirer's a daily paper,
and expected to publish all kinds Of
things. Wereply, ''well, the ADVANCE
is i weekly paper. and we don't see
why it can't publish what a daily
does." Oh, but weekly papers 90 into
families and are read by women and
children. We reply. $50 do daily pa
pers." Then they say, ''ol', yes. but,
we'll now you know we'll enough that
people don't believe every thing they
read in daily papers" Then we re-
ply, ''well, they needn't believe every
thing they read in weekly papers. We
give news, sensations, wonders, crimes,
accidents, etc., rs we get them from
other papers, and are not responsible
for the facts. They answer, "welI,
now. you know them air spiritooal
things you're publishing is all lies. -
We retort, 1--WE publish only Il very
small portion Of the wonderful ac-
counts Of spiritual manifestations
which we find published in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, N. Y. Herald, N. Y.
Sun, St. Paul Pioneer-Press and other
papers. We are sorry we cannot find
room for them >all." They come back
ut us, you know now the ADVANCE
haint a religious paper. Them things
ought to be published in religious pa.
pers.'' We answer, ''neither are the
leading newspapers mentioned above re.
ligious papers, aud besides religious pa
pers do not dare to publish anything Il.
bout Spiritualism except to ridicule it. .
Then they begin to get mad, and say
"well, now, you know we'll enough
them things aint so. You oughtn't tc
be publishing lot of pieces as you
know is all lies." We reply that We
believe a good portion of the statements
to be true. Then they do get up and
howl: Nobody but lunatics believes
them things. It's agin scripture and
human nature and common sense anG
the minister and the church we belong
to, to believe them things" This end:
the controversy and we necessarily re-
tire, silenced by such overwhelming
| logic.
