this, when one reflects on the many
thousands Of horses that 20 trampinp
through the streets with the rumbline
attachment Of light and heavy draft,
the wonder grows how everything ID
kept sweet and pure. On the princi

the city, numberless boys with cal
iron pans, shaped like the common
dust pan, and stiff brushes, gather III
the droppipgs Of the horses all DAY
long, running between vehicles, under
horses legs, evading wheels, dartinl
upon their prey like vultures, whisk.

turn Of the brush, and off 10 the cas-
iron shoots provided for the purpos,
and connected with some subterranear
vault, whence it is taken away. Al

boys get six shillings a week for thei,
perilous work. How they escap,

The Cotton Market.

Fraser & Sons Manchester Circular fortune
The strong point in favor of cottoI
at the moment is its cheapness as com
pared with the average of many years
past, and especially as compared with
previous periods when the statistical
position was no stronger, il as strong
as it is at present. Middling uplands

As compared with the average price
of the past three years the difference
is about the same. The low price Of
any staple article of produce is q
strength to the market, insomuoh as
II tends not only to increase oonsump-
ton, but induces q disposition
to accumulate stocks in the
hands of the users, to
be svailed of only when higher prices
render such a course desirable. 1t is
the long spell of low prices for cotton
this season which has caused the large
crop of America to melt away, so
that with surplus of at least ], SOC, 900
bales compared with last year, the ex-
cess 10 the visible supply now is only
100000 bales. More has doubtless
been consumed, and spinners on the
continent, especially in Russia, hold a
large surplus. so far as our English
spinners are concerned, while they
have since January | taken cOnsidera-
bly, more than their consumption Of
American, it is noticeable that from
September 10, when the present crop
began to arrive in Liverpool, their
takings have only exceeded those Of |
last year by Al 1870 bales. As against
this their purchases Of other kinds
have been less. The actual figures are |

tina. last winter fully 5000 deer were killed
within few miles of Delta. Rabbits, ducks,
geese, plcvers, curlews, grouse and prairie
chickens, beside the larger game, such as elk,
deer, and several varieties of bear, are found
in every direction. Mountain sheep can be
found on the higher mountain ranges. The
streams are full of speckled trout and salmon,
affording fine sport for the manipulation of the
line and fly.
Delta is in the ncighborhood of twenty
miles from Smiths Fork, North Fork, and
Surface creek, where coal deposits are extern
sive, and the quality equal to that of Penn
sylvania. BY analyses make by experienced
metalurgists in the East, the bituminous coal
contains 75 per cent. of carbon and but
small percentage of ash and moisture; the
anthracite coal contains from SIS to 9S per
cent carbon. For l.5oo miles east and 200
west this coal is not found. As has been well
said, "lall the country west of the Missouri
must depend upon these deposits. A country
larger than all the States east of the Missouri
river, the future millions must look to this
area for their supply Of anthracite Some
day the Pittsburg OF the West will be found
within easy distance of Delta, furnishing a
market for the produce raised in the valleys
and mesa lands adjoining the town. Coal
ou,crops all the way down the valleys.
THE MARKETS.
All the mining camps west of the Divide
mus, be supplied with food that can be pro-
duced in the Uneompahcre and Gunnison val
lcys. These great mining belts are easily
reached by the railways and wagon roads.
We can safely say tha, here in these incom-
parable valleys we can compete successfully
with far-away producers, having in our favor
shorter distance for transportation and the
ability to place perishable articles in fresher
state upon the market.
