NEW ORLEANS CUTTON RECEIPTS.
New Orleans has lately teen
booming in cotton receipts far
ahead of any other port. ON De-

compared with last year, although
The other ports were we'll ahead.
the deficiency here being 1927
bales, and the eX ;ess at all port
234,05S bales. Since hen the sit.
uation has changed, and cotton has
been pouring in here so heavily as
to completely reverse these figures.
70 day just one month afterwards,
New Orleans has increased her re,
ceipts 300,277 bales, against 49,
AS last year; and her net receipts
are now 1l6,0 bales in excess Of
1882. while those Of all of the ports
are only 10000 bales. OF the re-
eeipts a. ports during the past
moath nearly One-lhird came to
this city, Il much larger average
than during any previous portion
OF the year or any previous year.
During the past Ell years, this
city has been receiving from 23 to
26 per cent OF the cotton crop. So
far it has received 26 per cent this
season, with prospects of increasing
its percentage during the remainder
Of the year. TniS week it received
Al per cent, the previous week "
per cent, and the week before thai
80 per cent Of all The cotton reach
ing the seab0ard.
Our receipts from other ports
have also largely increased, and
are now 227,l3G bales against liz,
800 at the same time last year
The showing is very gratifying, ant
evidence that New Orleans is no
only preserving her former impor
tance as a cotton centre, bu1 actual

NOTHING TIM IDEA.

. A correspondent of the Ashland

provide tor"a system of crop re

how much cotton is made before
they sell.
This plan gould work we'll
enough if the farmers were moro

when the tach Is taken intn consid-
eratIOn that none Of them, SO TO
speak, are IN Il condition to hold
their crops. as contem porary very
pointedlY asserts, it seems worse
than ridiculous to svppUSe that "a
system Of crop Toports' would
prove remedial measure as to

According to the reports receiv'
ed by the Ensilage Congress in this
city. the use Of ensilage on farms
and in dairies is rapidly increasing.
This is a asubjeeL Ofinterest to every

cheaply on ensilage than on ordina
ry fodder, and at the same tins
can be kept in better health and

The governor Of Alabama has of
fered a reward Of $4,000 for the ar.
rest of the Astounding treasurer,

have the affect OF "fetching him."
The Legislature, on Saturday, pass
ed joint resolution sustaining the
governor In anv action hs might
take Of this sort up 70 the amount
specified, and a bill is now on its
passage authorizing him to offer
that sum or less at his decretion.
AS it will take six days to put it
through both houses, it was thought
best to Obviate the delay by pa ssing
the Joint resolution. II is to be
hoped Pinkerton's men, who are
said to be shadowing Vincent, and
we're oAly waiting for reward, will

There remain abolt four weeks OF
the preseu! Congress. The great
appropriation bills are untouched
The bill regulating the Presidential
succession and bill prescribing the
methods of counting lhe electoral
vote and other bills Of national I'M
portance are now lying on the
Speakers table. These measures
nInsl be taken up, although they
cannot be thoroughly considered,
for want Of time. The probable re-
suit is that the House will send Its
Tariff bill TO the Senate, and the
Senate will send its Tariff bill to the
House. The two measures Will dIt'
fer very materially in substance
The Senate bill will rot pass the
House, and the House bill will not
pass the Senate. Then it will be
too late to reopen the discussion
and the question will either go ovel
to The next Congress or be disposed
of with inconsiderate haste by 8
iolnt committee OF conference.
