COTTON.

THE receipts of cotton to-day were very light,
only 1871 bales coming in. of which were by
rail, as follows: Z for A. J. Fouts from Trinity
Mills; / for A. J. Porter, Forney, and for J. NJ.
Grove, Mesquite, The shipments were 40 bales
for Caller & Hill, by the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Ee; 100 for White &c Co II, by the Houston & Texas
Central, and 100 for Mordecai & Co. by the Texas
u Pacific. The markets all over America closed
quiet or easy, without change in prices Futures
were little higher in New York and little
lower in New Orleans than last evening, and
were of slxty-fourth in Liverpool which may
indicate lower market for spots The receipts
at all the ports were Go i55 bales in excess OF the
came GATE last year, for the week. The stock on
hand at all the ports is 206 0l0 less than ast year.

MATERIAL GROWTH.

Previous to the year just passed there has been
a quiet, steady increase in the number Of build
ings erected, yet at no time has the iner1 ase
been particularly noticeable. The growth last
year (l882) has been more marked; not Of the
feverish, ephemeral nature of Doom, but q
notable increase in prosperity and erowth-one
that will be productive Of confidence in US, since
II shows that we have confidence in ourselves.
According to the estimate of the various build
ing contractors there were $3.50 600 expended in
the erection Of l42 permanent buildings for the
year 1882. OF this amount $45 O0U built seven
ty-eight dwelling houses; e6o 600 built twenty
forty-one of all ether classes Of buildings. OF
the twenty-three mercantile buildings two were
of brick. costing $4,000. -.
While in point Of nunbers the brick build
ings show very small percentage, the relative
values show pretty we'll for town whose brick
era may be said to have just begun.

COMMERCE AND TRADE.
THE ASTOUNDING FIGURES FOR
THE FEAR 1889.


Few people even in Bismarck understand the
commercial importance Of this city. They SEQ
heavy freight trains arriving daily, and in the
summer season they notice the activity at the
river. bat they do not realize the aggregate
amount of business done each year. It must be
understood that the country about Bismarck il
still new, and that Bismarck has been built up
almost wholly from its trade with points further
west and northwest The geographical location
of Bismarck is such that 1t controls absolutely
the trade west on the Northern Pacific, and
northwest on the Missouri. B, cause of the
location on natures highway, the Missouri river.
its merchants are able to secure freight Rites
which enable them to sell goods even a. fa- east
as jamestown and to compete with st. Paul or
Minneapolis prices.
THE MISSOURI RIVER,
during the season of navigation, from the frat of
May to the first of November, is navigable for
large STEAMERS 1900 mile, above Bismarck to
Fort Bent n and the great falls, and 5000 miles
southwark to New Orleans and the gulf of Mex
leo. From twenty to thirty boats annually ply
between Bismarck and the points above, aud the
amount of freight handled is simply immense.
Five lines Of steamers make their headquarters
at Bismarck, and during the season of 1899 there
were sigh'y->ix departures and eighty five arri-
vals from and at Bismsrck. It should be re-
membered that each bat when leaving the port
of Bismarck, takes from $1,000 to $4,000 worth
Of stores and supplies for its crew and passen-
yer; and upon returning distributes among its
crew from 81, 500 to 5000 wagss, according to
the length Of the time required to make the
round trip. Bismarck merchants receive the
benefits of this immense traffic. .
UP STREAM FREIGHT.
The following tsble shows the amount of
freight carried up the river from Bismarck dur
ing the season of 1882:

each year, giving ample evidence of what is
to come when it's vast resources are fairly
utilized. To this grand country Bismarck is

the amount of freixhtaye paid on the above, but
it was over $4,000 on private freight alone.
The passenger business IN the river was hurt
somewhat by the extension of the Northern Pc

cred. Oaly the year before the only settler
at Mandan was killed by Indians. and a
herder was killed eight or nine miles north
of Bismarck. To-day the North Pacific
extends westward to the foot of the Rocky
Mountains, and in few months more will
form connestion with the western end, and
another channel across the continent will
be opened for commerce. On its way
westward new country has been opened up
and is being developel-an empire in fact,
much of which is and will be tributary to
Bismarck. Settlers are coming in rapidly,
new towns are going up and the wholesaler
at Bismarck finds constantly increasing
trade.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS,

Almost the first inquiry in tho thousands Of
letters with which our mails are daily burdened
coming from all parts of the east and south,
seeking information about Bismarck and the
Missouri slope is, "Have yoa any Schools?'' or
Have you good schools?" Eastern people, al
ways accustomed to good schools, and t, whom
our public school system is the ground
work of good society and good government, are
very properly anxious to know before deciding
to settle in the west that adequate educational
opportunities will be within their reach. To
answer this eft-repeated question for all who
may receive or chance to peruse this edition of
the TRIBUNE, this article is written
We will first mention the fact that majority
OF the people who have selected this portion of
the Missouri valley as their future home are
from tho eastern states, who, having the energy
and courage to attempt to carve out of the abun-
dant resources at hand in this favored domain
homes for themselves, are using that energy to

OUR FREIGHT RATES.

The difference in tho cost of transportat
marks the difference in towns. From
Paul to Bismarck the rate on merchandise
so cents flat per hundred during the spri
summer and fall. To Fargo the average l
is 80 cents per hundred and to Jamestt
$l.10. From Fargo to Bismarck the
average rate is 81 cents. The whole
eale man of the Red river metropolis, =.
therefore, can't ship to Bismarck and
beyond and compete with the same j.
dealer on the Missouri slope. The /
unfavorable difference in cost of trans 4
portatien bars him. Bismarck ship
pers can carry goods back to James
town, after bringing them through to
this point, and then make q reasona-
BILE margin. From Chicago by the i
lakes the rate to Bismarck is 85 cents
per hundred during navigation sea-
son of six months. Hence the adj
vantage of the Bismarck man over
the St. Paul dealer. The oombina-
ton rate is emphatically in the for
mer's favor, and with equal capital
there would be no serious competition
from the latter. Again, from New
York city by the lake route the rate is
$1.15 per hundred. By receiving
from the south the freight rate
without classification from st. Louis
via steamboat, is 81 per hundred
and from Sioux City without class
ification 50 cents per hundred. From /
Chicago to Sioux City by rail and !.
thence by river to Bismarck, 81 cents, Z
from same city by rail to Fort Pierre s:
and by river to Bismarck, 20 cents.
