ST. LOUIS, January I3-Quietness has
marked the past week in general business circles,
but the volume of trade has been good for the
season. Commercial travellers have taken the
road in considerable numbers and Others are pre-
pairing for extended trips. So far, the orders re-
ceived from those who are out not

spring trade will actually be. bus there is n
pretty general belief that il viii be good and

maud was somewhat diminished, but the banks
have mad all they wanted to do, and rates remain

made from all lines of business with al increased
number to carry grain and cotton. Leaf tobacco
has been in more demand, and public sales were
renewed during the week Very little new crop

Receipts and shipments were good, and spot sales
fair; country orders fair. but no great Ectivity
is expected this month. Groceries showed cOnsid-
cradle life, sales being up TO the full average.
Sugars firm, and refined ana New Orleans grades

staple and fancy goods unchanged. There

THE HUTTON COrroN.PIcKER.

We publish in another column a com
munication addressed to the governors of the
cotton States, by our old, well known and
highly respected citizen, w. NJ. Hutton, in
regard to the cOtton-picker upon which be
has SO long been at work. Mr.. Hutton is
sanguine in the belief that he has invented a
complete and perfect cotton-picker. If so
both he and the country are to be congratu-
lated. Mr.. Hutton has labored to solve this
difficult problem for many years. 1t has
been subject of absorbing thought with him
since the close Of the civil war-almost made
him a recluse. But if the fruits of his
labors come up to his expectations, he will
be amply compensated for his toll. The
people of the South, and especially of
Memphis, will watch with deep interest
for future developments, Mr..
Hutton is an old newspaper man, many
years ago one Of the proprietors Of the AP-
PEAL, and has many friends who will rejoice
in his success. The Southern people have
lost sight of Edison and his electric light,
Kelly and his motor, in their anxiety about
a cotton-picker, and if our old and valued
friend, w. NJ. Hutton, should be recognized
as the lucky inventor, he is the possessor of
the wealth of Vanderbilt and the fame of

THE RECUPERATIYE POWER OF Ma

Neither ancient nor modern history fur
nish an example of the rapidity with which
France and the United States have recuper-
ated their vitality, power thrift and gen
eral prosperity after emerging from expen-
sive wars. Great Britain regards a national
debt as a national blessing, and therefore pro-
vides only for the interest on what she
owes. But the United States regards
national debt as a national curse, and
has shown marvellous energy in reducing
it. The wonderful recovery OF France
from the disastrous effects of the war with
Germany is shown in the readiness with
which the taxes imposed upon the people are
paid, Notwithstanding the enormous increase
of the public debt of late years. At the fall
of the empire, the interest on the public
debt of France was about SS0,0O0,00O
After the adjustment of the Ger
man indemnify, the annual interest on
the public debt was increased TO
about Sl5OO0O,OOO. The total amount of
expenditures last year amounted to about
S6OO,O00,000. All this charge has to be met
by direct and indirect taxes and from minor
sources of revenue, and up TO this time it
has not only been met with ease and prompti-
tude, but the revenue has increased so much
beyond the needs OF the government that at
the end of the year just closed there was

AGRICULTURAL CoLLEsrs.

The first of a series of conventions called
by DIR. George Z. Loring, commissioner of
agriculture, held at Washington on Wednes-
day, was quite successful. There were dele
gates present from Colorado, Connecticut,
Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Vermont, Wisconsin, Tennessee,
and the Indian Territory. The meeting was
called to order by DIR. Loring who, after ex-
planning the objects OF the gathering, deliv-
cred an address of welcome, which was re-
markable for its forcible and eloquent refer
ences to the growth and importance of the
vast agricultural and livestock interests of
the country. After the appointment of the
usual committees, discussion was had on
the topic selected for the day, agricultural
Education" Mr.. George n. Cook, OF New
Jersey, read an interesting paper on the sub
iect, and was followed by d. S
Gold, of Connecticut; Isaac A. Hedges,
OF Nevada; President Fernald, of Maine
College; III. S. Alvord, OF New York; the
Hon. A. A. Sargent, of California; Prof.
Roberts, OF Cornell University; DR.. Elsey,
OF Virginia, and Mr.. Buchanan, President
of Virginia Agricultural College, each
speaking TO the subject. There was a dispo-
sition shown by several OF the gentlemen to
doubt the utility of agricultural colleges or
universities, the point being made that, after
acquiring an education at such an institu-
ton, the average farmers son, instead of 60
ing back 10 the work of his boyhood, imme-
6iately became impressed with the idea that
some of the learned professions offered in
ducements by far superior to the drudging
life OF the farmer, and farmers boys were
thus led from the business which would not
only make them wealthy but which present
cd the feature of absolute independence, not
offered by any other occupation. The result
of the discussion, however, was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of sustaining and encouraging
agricultural universities, and DIR. Loring took
occasion to say that, within his recollection,
the subject had not been 90 ably discussed.

The PROVINCE Of rarapaca.


Chill announces officially that the Peruvian
province of Tarapaca, the home of the most
valuable inter fields, has been organized as
a Gillian province. 1t will be very difficult
for Peru to recover that province, although
the foreign debt of Peru is largely based upon
the resources Of Tarapaca. England and
France might demonstrate on account of the
bondholders; this country might demonstrate
on the less solid ground of sentimentality.
But facts favor Chill, and true diplomacy has
profound respect Tor the realities. Chill has
acted boldly, but strictly within the limits of
rational diplomacy, while our government
has written Intellectual dispatches that have
promoted nothing and helped nobody, unless
the purchasers of the Landreau claim should
consider themselves benefited by dispatches
which have since been set aside by the stern
logic Of facts. America had a splendid OPP
portunity in South America, but they haze
been wasted, and are not likely to recur.
