The cotton crop last year was $685.
420 bales. The estimate for this year is
100000. The yield being about one
fourth less, the price should be at least
ne-fourth more. The demand is greater
each year and the yield and price must
necessarily be in adverse ratio, with
slight advantage to the price in short
years on account of increased demand.
The average price for middling upland
in 1850 was 1919, and by the above
reasoning it cannot fall short this year
of 1895. Cotton gambling nearly al
ways breaks man, but it does look as
if a man might hold his own (and part
of somebody else's) by buying Januaries
at even Is cents.

The democrats will control the U. 5.
senate. There are three vacau cies, all
republican--two in New York and that
of the late Senator Burnside OF Rhode
Island. The law requires the president
of the senate to swear in new senators.
OF course a president must be elected
before the new ones are sworn in, and
hence he must be a democrat. The
senate will stand 80 to SO, counting Mr.
Davis with the democrats and Mr. Ma
hone with the republicans.
