publican State convention met at IL
o'clock, with 1872 delegates. John N.
Z. Irwin, the temporary chairman, in
taking the chair, made a speech, which
produced great enthusiasm and an
plause, the most Radical utterances
being those most loudly eheered. In
the making up of the prospective Re.
publican candidates in 1880, and pam-
ing Conkling, Sherman, Blaine and
Grant, the latter two names were met
with particularly enthusiastic ap
plause, that for Grant being repeated
and ending in cheers. The conven-
ton, after appointing the customary
committees, adjourned till2 o'clock.

Some interesting features are pre-
seRted by the amount of cotton re-
ceived at various points the past sea-
son, showing the course of the trade
and to some extent the yield Of the
several sections Of country. 1t is well
understood that the growth of the
Mississippi valley proper will fall be-
low that of the year before by about
100000 bales. The crop was especially
less in the valley region lying below
the mouth of the Arkansas river,
while the White river valley marketed
considerably less than the previous
season. The receipts at this point are
now 10000 bales less than last year,
and our aggregate for the season will
not exceed $4,000 bales. At New
Orleans the receipts have been ], ,l65,-
653 bales this year, and 191 ,433 bales
less than last year. At Mobile the
receipts this year are 1904 bales,
and AZ, ,929 bales short of last year. An
increase is noticed of the marketed
bales this season at Galveston of ll6,
7S6 bales at Savannah of 10000
bales; at Chasleston of 81 600 bales !;
at Norfolk and other points of over
100000 bales; at st. Louis of
nearly 100000 bales, drawn chiefly
from North Texas and Western
Arkansas. The total receipts at st.
Louis SO far reaches 327 1913 bales
On the whole the amount marketed to
date reaches 1884, ,S6l bales, and 2l6,-
322 bales in excess Of last year at this
time, but New Orleans, Memphis and
Mobile show decrease in the quanti
ty handled of 100000 bales. The yield
of the Eastern Atlantic region was
better the past season than the year
before, and the out-turn greater.
Texas likewise raised a splendid crop,
and her acreage was largely increased,
thereby enablinggher to ship $4,000
bales more to st. Louis, and nearly
$4,000 more to Galveston than was
sent the previous season. The differ
ence in the quantities moved at the
various Important seaboard and inte-
rior markets is a subject worthy of
review by all who handle our
great staple, and the falling off in
the Mississippi valley crop, reducing
the estimates ofthe crop of the coun-
try several thousand bales, has had
much to do with the recent advance
in prices. The Egyptian crop of the
past season shows nearly 100000
cantars less than the year before, the
total so far received being slightly
over 100000 cantars. The India
crop is also less, and has gradually de-
creased in quantity for a series of
years. The general revival of trade
throughout Europe and America, the
easy state of the money market, the
increase of demand for cotton in all
consuming countries, the low state of
stocks on hand and numerous other
causes have contributed to enhance
prices, and afford reasonable hope that
values will be we'll sustained through
out next year..

feat Morris and Ross, then the match
with Hanlan, if he defeats Elliott,
would be in order and worth see

The death of Major Sparks. the old

says that Miss Mary Andeason, the

not great while off. Well, it is time
for her to get married. She has dem

actresses the better for that band OF
