The st. Louis Republican prints the
following, showing that Dallas is not the
only city that is deficient in its telegraph
facilities. 1t says: "rhere is great deal
of righteous indignation on the cotton ex-
change at the dilatory, and often utter
failure Of the Geographic reports, and this
may be comprehended when it is stated
that the report of Liverpool futures is
frequently incomplete, or the closing not
received until the exchange is about to
close and members have mostly departed
for their homes But this is not the only
dereliction in delay, for it exists in the
New Orleans closing futures, and frequently
in the report of the net receipts, exports
and stocks at United States ports, and the
latter especially on Fridays"

Advance sheets of the census declare that
the small portion of the State of Mississippi
called the "Yazoo Bottom" which in 1879
produced only 25S,0O0 bales of cotton, is
capable by the exclusion of the Mississippi
overflow and by improved cultivation, OF
producing nearly 5,727 ,257 bales annually,
or the whole present production Of the
whole country.
The London Times states that attention
has again been attracted to the discovery OF
explosives in cotton bales which have ar
rived in England from America. The most
recent instances have occurred at Oldham
where in bales Of raw cot ION, in addition to
quantities of stone, sand and rubbish, re-
volyer cartridges were found. Had the
cartridges come into contact with the heat.
ing machinery fire would have resulted
and in order to guard against the serious
danger involved, great care has to be taken
A statement on the subject was made at the
Abbey Spinning Company's meeting, DC
tober q. The United States Consul has
made an urgent request that anything amiss
in the cotton trade should DO immediately
reported to him.
Several manufacturers of spool cotton
and other cotton goods, in Scotland, are re
ported as moving their machinery and
hands to New York and New Jersey.
