the Interior ia reply TO charges made by the
Carpenters' Union OF this city. The

to the complaint that the system OF piece
work practiced by the contractors tends to
break down the eight-hour law, he says
that Tie Pension Building was the first pub
lie building erected in this city under the
operations Of that law, and he REGRETS to
say that IL proves 10 be The cause
OF = very considerable increase in

upon the building are working under the

is very favorable for active trade. The
cotton crop will be less than was expected
a month ago, owing TO the drought. but
this Is largely counterbalanced by larger

many Of these reports, prevented planters
from borrowing rs freely rs usual in the

so that the cotton crop hes been raised at
much lower cost than in other years, and
planters ere less in debt than at the CORE
