Der OF Deputies.


Der Of Deputies.
In the self-contained, dignitied, some
what imperious-looking President of the
Chamber of 1881, with his admirable
fitting dress-coat and spotless white
liecktie, who daily mounts to his throne
like seat in the Chamber, il, would be
difficult to find traces of the Baudin
days NJ. Gambetta at forty-two has
the prematurely aged look of man
who had made in youth heavy drains on
his mental resources. Far from appear
ing like man in his prime, he looks
like one who has passed it some time
since. The figure is heavy and obese,
although Gambetta's movements are
still vigorous, active, and alert, and the
gesture is as fluent as ever. But the
face in repose wears q habitually fatigued
expression. 1t is when he speaks that his
Italian fervorreturns to him. His great
est personal charm now is to be found
in his voice, that wonderful, stirring,
magnetic voice whose sonorous quail
tiles seem to belong peculiarly to itself
1t has in it the piercing, puissant vibra-
tons of fine brass instrument, making
the air thick and yet sweet with sound.
Gambetta's intonations are such also
that he seems to add something to the
delicate idom of Paris" He imparts
to its lightness and grace an indefinable
but noticeable quality of richness and
depth.
The French Chambers of Deputies is
commonly much more manageable
BODY than the American House of Rep
resentatives. NJ Gambetta's method of
governing the house in fractions mood
was such as one might expect from one
of his excitable temperament. His bell
and his ivory paper-cutter an instru-
ment which he used in preference to the
gravel-were the weakest of his scep-
tres of authority. When the excited
buzz of voice reached the deafening
pitch, NJ Gambetta's own voice rung
out like clarion. or Numbered like an
angry gods. His '.Un peu de silence,
messieurs!- peu de silencer' was
the never-ceasing refrain, uttered in
tones of command, of entreaty, of ex-
postulation. -Hdrper's Magazine.

The new Duke of Portland seems to
be generous young man. The SWING
estate in Caithness was bought 10y the
late Duke of Portland not long before
his death, and the tenants have recently
petitioned the present Duke to grant a
permanent reduction in their rents The
Duke sent an expert down to Scotland to
inquire into the matter, and the report
was that the rents were % per cent. too
high, and they have according been re-
dueed. 1t turned ont that the property

THERE is a sound reason why there

The columns ashy and cold,

Denis Kearney proposes to resume
his work in California politics in the ap-

IunR, ana sons $1,000 bales dash

ners were also completely drained Of
cotton last autumn, and will no doubt
keep up fair working stocks this year.
30 We expect the figures to change
gradually, and the present visible sur
plusto disappear. 1.-THE slight improve
ment in Manchester which we have
already referred to, develops into q
strong revival Of trade, the present
prics of cotton will not appear too
high for permanency; but it is quite
too early to make predictions on that
score. We note, however, the fact
that spinners do not seem to be look
ing for cheaper cotton, and are in
clined to cover their orders so soon as
taken. Much depends upon the har-
vest in Europe and India this year.
We are glad to report that agricul-
tural prospects are better in this coun-
try than for several years at this date.
We have had a remarkably fine spring,
and the crops are looking healthy and
we'll advanced. Should good weather
continue during the summer, it will
have a certain effect in keeping up a
more buoyant tone in Manchester
and here. SoRe uneasiness is caused
by the disquieting state of affairs in
Egypt, but it has not SO far had any
effect upon business"

The money market here is steady at
8 per cent as the quotable rate for
commercial discounts among the
banks and insurance companies,
though individual funds have been
seeking Investment at Z per cent, and
even lower rates are heard of where
funds can be loaned on perfectly safe
securities. The money markets else

rates are firm, with banks combining

cago money is abundant and dull. At
Cincinnati money is easy at 6 per

in the. open market, At Baltimore
money is plentiful at 5 per cent on safe

At Philadelphia call loans are to 5

Cotton.

Receipts since September l sum up
1851, 1855 bales, and are 1,021 $50 less
than last year to the same date,
also 255, 900 less than the year before.
Total foreign shipments this year have
been 1896, GAO bales. against 1928 7S9
and 3,5S6,357 bales for the two pre-
vious years. Total stocks are 1917 $3.50
bales, against 1874, 44 aud 314,84l last
year and the year before. W.
The Liverpool Cotton Circular of
Smith & Edwards, dated June lst,
mentions that the month of May was
devoid of special interest in the cotton
market, English spinners taking an
average of $1,000 bales per week. The
same authority further says "Surats
under a good demand have been we'll
maintained in spite of large arrivals,
and Egyptians have advanced under an
active demand aud the fear of scarcity.
The Manchester market has developed
rather more frmness during the past
month, the demand has increased, and
considerable clearance of stocks has
taken place. We note rather change
of tone in business circles there. The
great dependency that prevailed dur
ing the spring months has partly dis
appeared, and it is now hoped that
revival of demand is setting in, which
will again make the trade remunera-
tive. We must observe, however, that
hardly any advance in price has been
realized. Sales of goods have been at
wretchedly low prices-at least in the
Eastern departments of the market
and as far as we can see the business
done has been induced chiefly by the
very low prices submitted to. and not
by any healthy revival Of demand in
the East. The prospects of our mar
ket have not materially altered during
the past month. The American re-
ceipts have dwindled rapidly, showing
that the old crop is practically ex-
hausted, but the Bombay movement
has continued immense, and far
beyond what any one ex-
pected. 1t now seems probable
that Bombay will ship nearly half a
million OF bales or more than last year
BY June 30. This vast addition to our
supply has effectually prevented cot,
ton seal city and enabled us to tide
over the season mfortably in spite
ofan extremely short American crop.
India has indeed wonderfully come to
our relief in various ways, for her large
shipments of breadstuffs have also
made up for the deficiency of the
American grain crops. As we observed
in our last report, Surat cotton is now
going so freely into consumption that
the strain upon American cotton is
much relieved, and, thong the sup
ply of the latter is much shorter than
last year and stocks will run pretty
low in the autumn, there is no reason
to fear scarcity, nor, so far as we can
Judge, a corner. The cotton situation
must, therefore, be viewed from the
standpoint of aggregate supply, the
state Of trade in Manchester, and the
prospect of the new cotton crop in
America. Toa appearance we shall
carry an ample supply in the aggre-
gate this autumn. The visible supply
Tor Great Britain is 100000 bales more
than last year, but for the continent is
1876 900 short Of last year. We may
expect an unusually large export de.
mand, whereas the export was almost
stopped by the the corner last au.
