tober I'd buying rates for commercial

England, also y discount for sight on
New England. Drafts on New York also
varied at the same time and were sold by
the banks at par. January 18th quotations
were revised TO Il on New York and for
New England demand, also y discount
for sight on New England, while drafts
on New York sold At premium. On
February 10th rates were again changed

BALES.

The first bale received here this season
came from Canton, Miss, 200 miles South
Of this, on August 22d, and arrived 10
days ahead Of the first bale last year, and
IL days later than the first bale in 1881,
also days later than the first bale Of 1880.
The first bales from the Memphis district
came in August 23d, one from Pope's
Station, in the Southern part Of Pamela
county, Miss, 70 miles south Of here, the
other from Charleston, Tallahatchie
county, Miss, about the same distance
south. They classed middling and strict
middling. The first new bale of this
years crop from Texas reached New
York on the 18th Of July, bvt much Of
the bale was picked three weeks before il
properly matured, and it was claimed did
not fairly represent the new crop. This
bale caused the National Cotton Exchange
to pass a resolution Recommending 10
the Cotton Exchanges of the United
States that a new bale shall be so classed
only when it is fully matured, and that
any cotton found in such bales not fully
matured shall be considered good grounds
for its rejection. The first two new bales
Of this years cIop were received at Hous-
ton, Texas, July 6th, andthree days later
than last year. Both we're from Dewitt
county, ond one went TO Galveston July
18th. The latter weighed b88 pounds
classed strict middling, and sold for l42c

ceiVed GA bales Of new cotton, against o

ceived It's first bale August 9TH, and It
also chased strict middling. Last year a
new bale went into Shreveport also on
the eth OF August. The first bale Of Ala
bama cotton reached Selma August 9th,
weighed 400 lbs, Chased strict low mid
ding and sold for l1Ac. II was five days

bale of strict low middling cotton went

at l0c. Our total receipts to end of MAY
were 50S,305 bales and 1859, 904 more than
the previous year to the same date. Our
stock on hand under the influence Of a
buoyant feeling was reduced by the close
Of the month TO q, 203 bales, and much Of
this was sold and in the hands Of shir
pers. Complaints were hesfd among
buyers of the scrappy and in
ferior character of the offerings,
and the general expression was that the
demand had really taken up everything OF
a desirable character in the market. One
Of the causes Of the great activity among
cotton buyers and consumers was the late
ness of new crop planting and the bad
prospect caused by wet and extreme
cold weather. As late as the 23d Of
May a frost appeared here and extended
through Alabama as far South as Selma,
and in Mississippi beyond Columbus to
within 100 miles Of the gulf coast. This
was an unprecedented visitation, and while
it did not kill cotton or other tender
vegetation, yet cotton and all other
crops were backward and in many locali-
ties stunted by the cold and unfavorablC
weather.
In June four changes occurred in
prices, noting lower values and a total
decline Of x to Nc per ID was recorded in
this market. The depression was partially
due TO the agricultural bureaus
report Of the probable yield and the
report Of the National Cotton
Exchange Of the crop movement for the
first nine months of the commercial year.
