The Cotton in the Fields.

NEW ORLEANS, August THE report
of the cotton crop of the United States
for the month of July, by the National
Cotton Exchange, is as follows The
month of July has on the whole been
more favorable to the cotton crop, and
has resulted in an improvement of about
two points, bringing it up to 81 as
against IS for June and 81 for May. On
the Atlantic seaboard the rainfall was
somewhat excessive. particularly in
South Carolina, and the betterment is
mainly in Georgia. The low tempera-
ture and continued rains during the first
half of the month proved disadvantage
GUS to the crop in North Carolina. In
Alabama the plant has suffered from rain
and deficient cultivation. The crop in
Mississippi has suffered materially. West
of the Mississippi the condition has con-
tinued to advance with timely showers,
but Texas, owing to the protracted
drought, has not made any progress. In
that great State the situation is now very
critical, for while the plant has stood the
dry weather extraordinarily well, it is
now losing ground and suffering for want
of moisture. Fruiting has progressed
very we'll, considering the backwardness
of the plant, and the fields are in good
state of cultivation, except in portions OF
Alabama and South Carolina and locali.
ties in Mississippi. Over very large
area the plant is in a critical condition
and liable to unusual damage from ex-
treme weather. In the Atlantic States
and Alabama and parts of Mississippi it
has grown rapidly, is very ssppy and
exposed to loss of fruit from hot and dry
spells. In Texas the continuance of the
drought will prove very disastrous.
General showers with considerable inter-
mission of warm sunshine during August
would bring out the crop over nearly the
whole belt and go far toward compensat'
ing for the present backwardness. Worms
are reported in a good many counties OF
Alabama, but they arc later than last
year and have done no damage as yet. A
few are also noted in Florida, Louisiana,
Texas and Georgia, but no special
importance seems to be attached to them.
It is to be said that while the July growth
of the weed has been good over most Of
the belt and the lateness has to some ex'
tent been overcome, it is still much
behind, aud therefore subject to damage
from an early frost, or even one at an
average date.
In connection with the National Cotton
Exchange crop report for July made uE
from mail advices it may be stated thai
during the past few days kilograms have
been received in this city from various
points in Texas reporting seasonable
rains in all directions in the cotton pro-
ducing sections of that State.

Why Hendricks Hopes.

SARATOGA. July 31.-E1. Governor
Thomas A. Hendricks spent some time
after breakfast in the hotel corridors,
chatting with friends and acquaintances.
Later on correspondent had q brief
talk with him in his room.
The correspondent called the attention
of Mr.. Hendricks to recess to elaborate
publication alleging that he had advoca.
ted armed resistance to the drafts in 1868
at Shelbyville, Ind, and remarked that
they had already begun to 'sling mud"
eyes" he replied, "but it is nothing
new. have been trough too many
campaigns to meet with any new lies
now. This is one of the old ones which
has been answered time and again"
Speaking of the recent scandalous
publications concerning Governor Cleve-
land, he observed that it was inconceiv-
able that any man could have gone
through three campaigns, as he has done,
without bringing to the surface any
event in his career which could by any
means whatever be tortured into scan.
dal.
The attitude of Tammany came under
consideration, aud Mr.. Hendricks said
ne had seen Nh. Kellu since his arrival
here, and had talked with him for few
minutes. He did not know what Mr..
Kelly would do, had not referred to that,
but he heard that he would support the
regular ticket. Mr.. Hendricks said that
he would 60 back to Indiana in time TO
take hand in the campaign there, and
expressed the utmost confidence that the
Democratic party would carry the State
without difficulty. Referring to the an.
nouncement of Chairman Jones, of the
national Republican committee, that he
proposed to throw a great deal of his
work into Florida and West Virginia,
hwith the determination of carrying them,
an announcement which has been coupled
with the statement that he leads the
campaign subscription with 100000,
Mr.. Hendricks remarked: "Well, that
is bcld, isn't it? He means everybody
to know that he is going to buy them, if
he can, doesn't he 2"
"Will the prohibition movement affect
the result in Indiana?"
81 think it will" replied Mr.. Hen
dricks, "and for two reasons. The nomi.
nation of St. John and a national ticket
has inspired the prohibitionists out our
way, and they have gone to work and put
complete State ticket in the field. This
means very vigorous campaign on their
part, and their voters will be drawn in
the main from the ranks Of the Republi'
cans. The situation is made still more
interesting by the fact that the Indiana
State platform of the Republican party
fayors the calling of constitutional
convention to amend the State constitu-
ton, and the Germans are suspicious
that they want to introduce clause pro-
hibiting the manufacture of liquor. The
Republicans have done nothing in the
way of announcement or otherwise to
allay that suspicion, and the liquor in
terest has been thus strongly antagonlzed.
The nomination of St. John and of the
State ticket has weakened the Eepubli.
cans, aud thus fear of Republican inter-
ference in the liquor question has
strengthened the Democrats"
Mr.. Hendricks will stay week or ten
days at the Grand Union, going thence
to the seashore and returning to Indiana
late next month.

Our Circulating Medium.

The following statement in regard to
the contraction of the aggregate circrlat.
ing medium during the last session of
Congress is based on information obtain
ed at the treasury department. On
December 1st, 1888, silver dollars in cir
culation outside of the United States
treasury amounted to $4l ,301, ,9S3; silver
certificates to sS7, ,976 PSI; gold certifi-
Gates to s58, ,S97 ,620; national bank notes
to $943, ,99S, ISL, and legal tender notes to
$3O6, 6,SO6,372. On July lst, 1884, the
same items were, silver dollars, S39, 1884,.
9l3; silver certificates, s96, ,427 OIL; gold
certificates, $7l. l.146,6 $40; national bank
notes, 1926, ,337 $3.50, and legal tender
notes, 1906 ,497 ,2l5. These figures show
decrease of 81 ,5O7 ,07O in silver dollars i;
an increase of So, ,450,8l0 in silver certifi'
Gates an increase of s12,2 ,02O in gold
certificates decrease of SIS. ,927 in
pational bank notes, and decrease of
$500, ,457 in legal tender notes.
The result is an apparent increase OF
s222,676 in the aggregate circulating
medium Of the country outside OF the
amounts held in the treasury. This
apparent increase, however, is due to an
increase of S12, ,249, ,020 in gold certificates,
which are merely circulated IN the form
of certificates Of gold, which was already
in the hands of the people and the banks.
In other words the scarcity of paper cur
rency caused by the decrease in the ma
tional bank circulation induced the
people to use their gold, and they depos.
tied it to obtain more convenient gold
certificates. Deducting, therefore, this
$12, ,249 ,O20, shows real contraction for
the seven months ending June SOth, 1884,
of about sl2,OOO.OO0. In addition the
expectation of gold from the country
exceeded the Importation during the
same period by $32, ,494 1926. while the
gold production of the mines of the
country is estimated to have been about
sl2,OO0,O00. The net loss of gold was
$4,000 900. This, added to the contrac'
ton of other forms of currency before
shown, to amount to about sl2,O0O,000
makes the total contraction of circulating
medium of the country outside of the
treasury of about S32,000,000. 1t is
| asserted in the Office of the comptroller
of the currency that the Mcpherson bill
which failed to become law, would
have at once added about s96, 900, 900 to
the national bank circulation of the
country, and would have compensated fol
the severe contraction which has occur

The promises and pledges which
were made in the matter Of tariff reduc-
tion by the last session of the Forty
seventh Congress, when the tariff com
MISSIONS bill was crowded through the
conference committee, have fallen far
short of the actual result reached by that
measure. It was stated that the act
would certainly reduce the revenue from
customs c from $40 100000 to s6O,O0O,OOO
annually, and the Morrison bill was
defeated last session because it was
argued that the Tariff Act of 1888 had
not been in operation long enough for its
effects to be known. The officers of the
Treasury department are now balancing
the books for the fiscal year just closed,
and the receipts from customs duties at
the principal seaports have been added
up. The result shows a reduc tion OF
only about s19,000,000 from the figures
of 1888, instead of the s6O,OOo,oOO
promised.
One of President Arthur's first ap-
poin tments was that of steward q place
with salary of 81 800 year and board, J
which he gave 10 1o"aIo " "i.ii"'Ie, q
colored man, who had been for many
years the major domo of that epicurean1
merchant prince, the Hon. Samuel
Hooper, of Boaton. What he does not
know about good eating and drinking, is
not worth Knowing, and he has under
his orders French cook named Fortln,
who is Master of the culinary art. The
result has heen that instead of ordering
his State dinners from restaurant by
contract, at 81 plate, without wine, the
repasts have been prepared in the White
House kitchens and pantries, at cost,
including wines, Of nearly $40 per head,
fifty guests partaking of each repast.
