Cotton.

Under the influence Of lower prices
East and at New Orleans at the close
last evening, our market to-day rules
quiet and less animated, with the tone
favoring buyers:
Sales Of cotton here yesterday were
5000 bales, the heaviest Of the season,
except September 9th, when the same
number were taken. Exporters took
80 bales only, complaining that prices
are too high for foreign shippers, and
spinners took 1850. A considerable
quantity was also bought for spinneri
by non-members of the Cotton Elk
change, which would swell the guam
tity sold somewhat. The feeling was
easier, though prices are unchanged,
as follows. Low ordinary, 74c; ordi-
nary, SIC; good ordinary, 1Olc; low
middling, 11ic; middling, lite; good
middliug, 11lc; middling fair, 12c.
The past five days receipts of cotton
at all United States ports sum VI
1885 bales, and are 22,77O short o.
last year for the same time. Tota'
receipts at all ports since September
LIST sum up 1901 1873 bales, being
1876 ia less than last year and 5O,74;
bales less than the year before to the
same date. Foreign shipments thii
season have been 507 COS bales, sgainsI
659,892 last year and 52O,68l the veal
before. Stocks Gu hand are 627 ,O4(
bales, against 597, 239 bales last yea
AID 51O,O91 the year before at tn,
sametime.

and a half miles from ST. Louis to
Ste. Genevieve.
The Lee Line steamer Rene Ma
cready, in command Of Captain e. P.
Crider, is the regular packet leaving
this evening for Helena, Glendale and
all intermediate landings, attending
promptly to all business that offers,
and making all landings around Coun-
Gil and Walnut Bends. Charlie
Bourne is her polite clerk.
The Ste. Genevieve arrived at an
early hour this morning from st.
Louis, with a fair trip of freight, com
prising 34l3 pkgs. She will leave
from the foot Of Union street at 5 pm,
making all way landings between this
port and st. Louis. Captain Geo. w.
Vickers commands, and John Z. Mes
sengalO is in charge of the Office.
The Ohio is stationary at Pittsb burg
with no immediate signs Of a substan-
tial rise. To-day there is 2 inches on
the gauge, or about 16 inches in the
channel. Plenty Of steamboatmen are
lying sronnd at all points on the Ohio
between Pittsburg and Cairo and a
few of them make occasional fishing
or hunting trips to while away the
time.
The Dean Adams, In command of
Captain Mark r. Check, is receiving
to leave at 5 pm. for Helena, Terrene,
Arkansaw City and all intermediate
landings, carrying the mail pay
ing prompt attention to all business
entrusted to her, and making close
connection with trains on the Little
Rock, Mississippi & Texas Railroad.

Captain G.. w. Thompson for the
position Of Inspector General of Steam
Vessels, is the choice of all the ma
rines navigating Western river. (above
Memphis at least) and, we think, a
pretty large share Of those south Of
this port. He is a gentleman in the
true sense Of the word, and looked
upon as a man well qualified to fill the
position to which he aspires. Having
spent the greater portion of his life on
the river, he knows well the wants of
steamboatmen and will work to their
interests, The New Orleans States is
of the opinion that, with the advent
Of the Thompson dinasty sufficient
spoils would be found to reward the
workers. That paper is correct, so
far as the "spoils" stolen as it were
from hard working (and in many re-
spects poorly paid) steamboatmen will
be found, for we have no doubt that
Captain Thompson, who has paid his
$1,000 per year for the privilege of
earning a living, will do all in his
power to cut down the licenses
Of all marines to a figure
satisfactory to all concerned.
General Dumont in his annual report
states that last years surplus is $685.
81 80 in excess Of the needs OF the
service, and that the aggregate sur
plus now idle in the treasury is sufi-
cient to supply the deficiency fifteen
years, if the tax should be reduced to
a nominal sum-" Why did he not
recommend the reduction of licences
before2 and not wait until steamboat
men ask change, and that one Of
their choice be placed in position.
The LEDGER is with the majority o.
steamboatmen, and would like to sec
Captain G. Wash. Thompson placed

General Trade.

Business is quite slack, especially
in the feed and breadstuf line. Meats
are in demand by consumers, but val
ues are very unsettled and difficult to
quote with any prospect of perma-
nency for the ensuing "a hours. The
tone is downward for all classes Of
stuff, including meats, -four, meal and
feedstuffs, except hay. The fact is
that prices Of eatables are too high for
the times, and consumers as well as

The Stock lnw.

Last week an important ruling, involv.
ing the constitutionaity of the stock law
was made by Judge kershaw at the Alb.
bevli!e Court. The case came up on ap.
peal from trial justice, with whom Pharcs
g. Martin had lodged his COMPLAIN,
against Samuel J. Hester for trespass
by stock. After hearing the case the trial
justice sentenced Hester 10 pay fine oi
one dollar or be imprisoned five days
An appeal was taken to the Circuit Court
on the following grounds:
lst. Because the Act of Assembly un.
der which this prosecution is brought is
unconstitutional, being in conflict with
Section 20, Article II Of the Constitution
of South Carolina.
I'd. Because the said Act of Assembly
Is in conflict with Section 10, Article /.
OF the Constitution of he United
States.
These points were argued at some
length but were overruIcd ard the iudg-
ment of the lower Court confirmed.
Judge Kershaw, holding that Section 7
was germane to the title of the act. but
that even if the act were unconstitutional
in that paragraph, in all other respects it
might be constitutional That stock
being driven on land might well be de-
termiDed to be trespa>s under the act.
That the stock law was not a contract
between the Legislature and the people,
because it had been allowed to the people
ITO vote on the question. There was no
consideration, hence there was no con-
tract.
That the third ground is equally un-
tenabe.
Notice of appeal to the Supreme Court
Of the State was given.
