The steamship Juniata, Captain J. W..
Catherine, on her last trip to Philadelphia,
improved her short stay at that port by hav-
ing placed on her a fine and powerful cleo
trio light, similar to those used on the New
York steamers. This enterprise is sensible,
as It will save both time and money. The
steamship, with the aid Of this light, viii
now be enabled to come up the river or
leave for sea by night, when the tide suits,
thus saving 60 many cases several valuable
hours. We note that the electric lights are
generally being introduced on the steam

COTTON TRADE TOPICS.
DOfngs of the National Cotton Ex-
change.

At the recent meetings Of the National
Cotton Exchange, at st. Louis, the
points upon which discussion were invited
were the collection of crop reports, uni
formitY in the classification Of cotton, re-
sponsibility for damage TO cotton in transit,
a fixed tare, the size Of bales and the use OF
bagging. Some complaint has been found
with the reports OF the condition Of the
crop, Issued monthly by the local ex
changes, and resolution was presented I'd
the effect that "these reports be either I'm
proved In character or entirely abolished.
The Chairman OF the committee to which
this matter was referred opposed the
abolition, but suggested that the
reports might be improved. He proposed
that the National Exchange should suggest
to the local ones more care in the seleetlon
Of their correspondents. Another sugges-
ton was to apply the percentage OF the con
ditiOns Of the crop In each county TO the
production Of that county. The committee
further suggested that the exchanges should
not present the bare report, mere statisti-
cal table, incOmprehensible TO many, but,
upon the basis OF the answers received by
them, prepare a general report, giving
their opinion Of the condition Of the crop IN
their district, having full discretion in
the weight OF all the information received.
On the subject OF classification the
Exchange favored 6 committee, consisting
of one member from the local exchanges,
two from New Orleans and three from New
York, to meet in New York city, August 10,
and formulate new and universal system
Of classification. The matter Of the tare on
cotton, the weight Of baggiDg and the
weight of bale formed really one subject
matter, and one upon which considerable
difference of opinion was shown in the Ex-
change. The Houston delegate desired the
adoption of a tare, a standard bale and
standard weight of cotton. The
tendency in foreign markets was, they
argued, to exact heavier tare than was
warranted, so that the cotton planter is
loser to that extent. The Norfolk Ex-
change opposed the system Of tare, but
suggested a standard weight for bagglng,
either one and three quarters or two pounds
per yard. Mr.. Morehead, President Of the
Mississippi Valley Cotton Planters Asso-
citation, on behalf Of the planters, opposed
all these innovations and proposed the
postponement of the subject, because In
several OF the States the State laws
would not permit such changes
as had been suggested. Upon the matter
being submitted to the convention 1t was
decided to postpone further consideration.
10 the matter of responsibility for damage
TO cotton In transit, such rules and regula-
lions we're adopted as will fix that respon-
sibility where it belongs. Both the Mobile
and Savannah Exchanges entered protests
on this subject, and the reports In full upon
the subject, as will be remembered, were
published IN the MORNING News.

Some time has elapsed since your correspond

Babcock to collect and frame, and Jack Plane

they with equal interest and gentleness might
touch the senses OF your readers, the task
would not be considered onerous but instead
pleasant pastime. IL is, however, q wise pro-
vision of nature that all are not constituted
alike; if so, persons in their intercourse would
like the two negative or the two positive poles
of magnet, repel: while, on the other hand,
If q negative and positive pole are brou ght
near each other, after few repulsIve efforts,
they instantly form a partnership. So with
human beings a fat man wants lean wife, a
tall man wants a short wife, and bdd man

Our citizens are highly elated at the idea of
having railroad from Live Oak to ROwand's
Bluff, traversing fine and richly -timbered
country and tapping the Suwannee river, along
whose banks thousands of acres of rich ham
mock lands are lying comparatively idle wait

groves, the products of which will be trans

not come much nearer us here than the dis

expect to be benefited is this IL is conceded
JHdJ We nave the mOSJ lbFbllb JANUS III luS COuH-
ty, and no less so are those lying contiguous to
the river in Lafayette county, for here we find
the rich settlements of Brushy Hammock,
Scrub Hammock and Cooks Hammock, all OF
which have large amount of produce which
must have some means of transport. This we
feel confident, will be a sufficient guarantee To
the railroad company to make them directly
interested either in clearing out the shoals or
in constructing steamers adapted to the upper
river and capable of going over the shoals II
Is thought that the shoals would not be difficult
to remove, as they seem to be mostly loose
rocks. This would develop fine country, and
with the facilities that the Live Oak and Row
lands Bluff Road would offer for transporta-
ton, many would engage In the vegetable and
