Mrs LIyRRMoRE told lunch party in
Detroit OF Bronson Alcott's extreme admir-
alton for his talented daughter Louisa, and
how he made her his frequent theme in con-
versation. Miss Abbott disliked this pa.
ternal trait, and on one occasion, when he
began his usual praises, she said sharply,
"Dry up father, these people will think you
are paid to go about and advertise me-"
But she eau talk as smoothly as her phil.
osophic father" Mrs. Liyermore added,
"about the thingness of the here and the
why OF every wherefore"

SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN; "There is
no doubt that if anybody ought to be hanged,
Mrs. Meaker deserved that fate. Neverthe-
less the execution of woman will bring to
thoughtful minds with unusual force the
question whether that is the best use 10
which even so hardened criminal can be
put. The frmuess with which she met her

occasion for sorrow that New England can
produce women SC far removed from al

crop, on the contrary, is all good working
cotton: moreover. the bales weigh on an
average ~ pounds heavier than those OF
the crop of lSSO-lSSl.
The worlds consumption of American
cotton last year was 5,93O,OoO bales. and
Of East India 100000 bales. In 1880
1881 the consumption OF American was
300, 900 bales, and of East India 100000
bales. If it be considered that the quail
Nv of American cotton this season is far
superior to that of 1SS0-1SSl, and the sup
ply Of East India cotton at least 100000
bales larger, an estimate of the total con-
sumption of American cotton in loo3-ISoj
of $500 900 bales will doubtless be found
quite high enough. That would leave OF
a crop of 100000 bales surplus OF 6OO,-

London Spectators who are Endeavor-
ing to Affect the Markets of the
World.
kilograms received yesterday by Messrs
Dan Talmage's Sons and other large rice
dealers explain the causes of the excite
ment in the European rice markets re-
Gently described in the press dispatches
from London. 1t appears that a pool of
the largest English millers and dealers in
rice has been formed in London with the
object of looking up supplies and adNanc-
ing prices in the markets OF the world.
One Of the Messrs Talmage said yesterday
that the plans ofthe spectators were well
laid. but it was the opinion of the
American dealers that the scheme will
not succeed in the end. The cOmbina-
ton is large and strong, and
will undoubtedly have a temporary
effect, for several hundred thousand
bags Of rice cannot be locked up without
creating scarcity and stiffening prices.
The stock on hand and to arrive on the LIST
Of April, last year, was Isl, 53o tons, and
within the month prices fell away. This
year the record shows 211, 463 tons, and
with higher range of prices. The out
look is bad for spectators. We think
that two very important points have been
lost sight Of First, the demand for for
eign rice IN the United States Will be
much less than last year, when our do
nestle crop fell short nearly 10000 casks,
while this year it is up to full average.
Second, for the past two years the low
prices have caused rice to enter into
many channels of trade previously Occu-
pied exclusively by other cereals. With
any marked advance the demand in those
directions will be checked."-Nelv York
Herald. 18th.
