British Gold.

The British. capitalists have grown
tlrea OF investing their money in Colonial
securities, as they have lost a good deal
after disposing of $500, 900, 600 in Aus
tralia, New Zealand and other localities,
and it is gratifying to know that many
of them are beginning to look to our
Southern States as a profitable field for
investment. In this connection we OBJ
serve that Mr.. Jennings, the London
correspondent of the New York World,
says:
''What would attract more attention
than any other undertaking is that which
will inevitably be heard a good deal of
by-and-by, the establishment of cotton
mills in the most faVorably situated
States. Already, as have understood,
that industry Is rapidly extending from
the East to the West and South, and in
course of time not much cotton will be
sent over the Atlantic for manufacture.
1t will be made up on the spot where it
is grown, and the chief mart of cotton
goods, as well as for raw cotton, will be
the United States This is certain to be
the course of events in that particular
branch of commerce, and capital enough
will pour in when the Southern people
are prepared to make good use of it.
People are always ready for something
new, and it will be decidedly something
new to hear of an industrious, active,
pushing and thoroughly reconstruct
ed South. That is the next boom
which we are looking for. The old
combinations of familiar names begin to
lose their attraetiveness-Va
Gould, Keene, people have heard of long
enough, and now it is time for some new
genius to appear upon the scere 1t
takes capital, however, to bring capital.
and where it is to come from in the
South it is hard to conf ecture. these
are matters on which you have far better
means of gaining information than anv-
body iii London, and 1 content myself
with pointing out the fact that public
curiosity and expectation are good deal
directed toward the Southern States at
this moment, apart altogether from the
speculation in Confederate bonds which
was started in some back room in the
city, and which is spoken well of in Il g
city article of your contemporary, tie

MAHONE ON HIS VICTORY.
The Chief OF the ReadjusteFs Re-
views the Campaign.

A special dispatch from Petersburg, Va,
says: General Malone came down into his
private Office, where several gentlemen were
awaiting him, about two o'clock yesterday
afternoon. After few casual remarks the
General said, half in soliloquy:
"What struggle It has beeni Just think
OF what we have to contend against. The
aristocracV society, the church, the bond
holders and all. What a struggle, and the
Republican coalition did not work as
smoothly as it ought. By the physical ina
bility OF the administration, as may say, it
was long time before 1t could be made to
appear that the administration was with US.
1t was not, Ia fact, until Arthur set his foot
down ON it that the mischief stopped.
Think OF q 1anitor In q custom house, for
example, coming out with a speech to the
negroes, abusing me and saying that the
administration was not with US. II he had
not been In government service 1t would
have been all right. They would say he
had been hired by the funders to do 1t.
Bat being in government service they
couldn't understand 1t. l could not
have understood it myself. But
our friends, the funders, didn't
seem to have any political sense. l never
knew them to exhibit either statesm aaship
or shrewdness. They are altogether too
lofty. / don't mean in a moral sense, but
noise about the afiliatiOn with the negroes
and all that, but their methods are out OF
date. believe that If we had been able to
do ourselves justice our majority would
have been 10000. We ought to have in
structed our speakers on the debt question.
They should have shown 1t up plainly, with
out any flowers of speech, Just presenting
1t in plain EOglish; that's the best way,
especially with our people. They should
have shown that the position Of the funders
was exactly where the old McCuIlOeh bill
placed us. The people feel deeply on that
subject, and they would have been with US.
The speakers should have opened up the Nc
Culloch bill, and showed its real character
Why, it's a continuous bill. The present
syndicate may get tired of their part, but
the Governor can make another contract
right afterwards, and so continue its opera
tions forever. The Legislature could have
made 1t albright but for the Governor, Holli-
day, who was in the way, and It would take
a two-thirds majority to get over his veto.
All this should have been shown up without
rhetoric, but just in pain terms, as It can
be done. It's best not TO use fine rhetoric,
especially with our people, except perhaps
for few minutes at the end, just to get up
q hurrah."

LoSDoN, November 14.-The Mark Lane
Express in its review Of the British corn
trade for the past week says: "The autum-
nal wheat sowing is nearly finished. The
mild weather has caused the earlier sowiDgs
to appear above ground. Native Wheats
are arriving slowly and are gene
rally of an inferior quality. In Lon
don and ia some OF the provincial markets
the weeks supply was very small. Prices
throughout the country are very little
altered. The supply of country -four is
gradually Increasing. The consumptive
demand is principally for the best grades
Inferior gradCs are difficult to SELL Values
in lard are about the same, but in some of
the country markets they are irregularly
lower. Trade during the week in foreign
wheat was very quiet. In London
some descriptions were more firmly held
because of their relative scarcity. Fresh
supplies of red winter are very scarce.
Australian, New Zealand and the finest
East India sorts are becoming scarce in
London, while inferior East India is plenti-
ful. The bulk of the supply consists of
Russia, Ghirkas and superior East Indias.
Foreign -four arrives slowly, the bulk in
London consisting OF European, the Ameri-
certainly higher In value relative
ly. There is fine prospective
supply of European. On Friday, iD Lon
don, mixed American fetched 2Ss 6i. ex.

market was fairly well supplied with

about Is Cd. per quarter at the beginning Of
the week, but almost completely recovered
on Saturday. at the close Of the week
buyers were offering 53s. Cd. for red winter,
and sis to Sis. 81. for American spring.
The sales of English wheat during the week
were 1896 quarters, at 46s. 81. per quarter,
against 43, III quarters, at 43s. sd. per quar-
ter during the corresponding week last
