Cotton.


Our market opened steady and
quiet this forenoon, the demand being
moderate at unchanged prices.
Sales of cotton here on Saturday
were $50 bales, all to spinners, closing
steady at &c off on the three upper
classes, Sales for the week sum up
$500 bales, to exporters 100, to spin
ners 24OO, prices being &c higher on
good ordinary and to better on the
three upper grades than quotations of
a week ago, and are up to ruling
prices early in December last, about
which time the highest values of the
season prevailed. The lower classes
at the time named, however, ranged
from ! to lBc above present prices.
The discrepancy is doubtless due to
the large supply Of the poorer grades,
and tho relative scarcity of the
finer cottOns, which has been mark
ed feature Of the past seasons
crop, and which feature at the time
referred to had not made itself appar-
ent to the consumer. During the week
just closed the crop report Of August
the 10Th has exercised a strengthening
influence on the price of cotton in all
markets. The report gives the condi-
tion as z per cent below the report on
the LIST inst, the average being SO
against 50 on the lst of the month and
lO2 at the same time last year. Com
plants of serious injury by drought
are reported from all parts of the cot.
ton belt, but are most serious in South
Carolina and Texas, where decided
decline in the yield is anticipated.
The stalk is small and bolls shedding,
but as a general thing little harm has
resulted from insects in any squarter.
Our market closes steady as follows:
Low ordinary, &c; ordinary, 7lci good
ordinary, 7Bc; low middling, lOic;
middling lie; good middling, 12lc.
The total receipts of cotton at all
United States ports during the season
since September lst last have been
$751; 21 bales. Excess over last year,
827, $40 bales. Receipts to same time
in 1879, were 4,436,58l bales. Total
exports this season sum up 4,498,34
bales, against 3,8l6,OSO same time last
year and 3,442,O57' in 1879. Stocks
are now 22O,975 against 134,l6O bales
last year at this date.

The Now Comet.

The new comet was discovered, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin, by about two hun
dred different persons-by night watchmen,
homeward bound editors, Associated Press
messenger boys, wicked young men who
were out scandalously late, man who had
insomnia and got up 10 sit by the window,
disgusted father who could not sleep because
the baby was restless, and three men who
arose and went TO the window for the pur-
pose of projecting missiles at cats. Probably
others are yet TO be heard from. All Of these
people have sent in claims for the reward
offered by medicine man in Rochester for
the discovery Of new comets. Equal division
OF the prize among the claimants will give
the latter about cents apiece, hardly
enough, we should imagine, to persuade
them hereafter to sweep with eager eyes the
boundless spaces OF the armament. The

dications that the astronomers are contract.
ing the habit of going to bed regularly at
night and getting up their work clandestine-
ly in the day time out of the encyclopedias
To see the new comet properly it will be
necessary for the observer to arise at about
three in the morning and to look to the
northeastern part of the heaven. We are,
however, assured that very soon the visitor
will show itself earlier in the evening, in
time for the astronomers TO examine 1t before
retiring to bed at the usual hour of ten
o'clock. It will be remembered that Profess
sor Proctor prophesied that ifa comet should
appear during the present year, there would
be good reasons for apprehending the des-
truclion of the world. This comet, we be-
lieye, is the third or fourth that has come
bounding into our system, and confident ex-
peotions are entertained that we shall be
visited by two or three more. There is very
serious probability that Mr.. Proctor knows
no more about the relation between comets
and terrestrial destruction than any 9th er
man but if any person feels alarmed at his
saying, that person will do no harm to So
ciety or to himself by paying his subscrip-
ton to the CARBON ADVOCATE, reforming his
conduct, and getting ready Tor the final
catastrophe,
