Comparative Cotton Receipts.

The cotton receipts at BroOkhaven for
the four months of September, October.
November and December, 1895, were as
follows:
September. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 64S
october ....-.. .......... ..'..'... $40
December 220
A total of 6, 466 bales.
For corresponding months of 1884 the
receipts were as follows:
October Observation-Disclosures. z. $40
November. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. l,99l
december .....-.. ,olo
A total of 6, III bales, or difference in
favor of 1884 of 249.
The total number of bales received
from Jan. l, 1885, to Sept. LIST, 1885, was
ST, making the total years receipts from
Sept. LIST, 1884, to Sept. LIST, 1885, 1884
bales.
Mr.. L. M. Bee, our clever depot Agent
to whom we are indebted for these statis-
tics, in making an official return to the
Railroad authorities as TO the probable
receipts from January LIST, 1886, to Sept.
1886, estimates the number of bales at
400 against the 877 bales for the same
period of 1895. This increase is based
upon the assumption that the yield of
cotton for 1895 was larger than in 1884,
and that owing to the exceptionally fine
season for gathering, a larger amount
now remains in the country unmarketed
than at the corresponding season of last
year.
If this estimate holds good, the 6, 49,
bales received up to Jan. LIST, 1856, with
the l,400 bales additional will make the
total receipts for the current commercial
year, 1865, as compared with the 1854 OF
lse4'5, or a difference in favor of the
present season of pa bales. II, however,
the receipts from Jan. LIST, 1856, to Sept.
LIST, 1886, do not exceed these for the
same period of lSS5-S77 bales-the total
receipts for the present commercial year
viii not aggregate but 7,;A5 bales, against
HE 1874 of last year.

Nearly a Large Fire.

The building at No. 1922 Pennsylvania
avenue, shortly before l p. m. to-day, was
discovered to be on fire. Officer Weeden,
on entering the attic room Of the portion
occupied by the family of Mr.. w. w. Gould,
commission agent, found the bedding abazc
In one corner, while the floor was thiohly
strewn with matches, in the midst of which
were three very small children unconcern-
edly playing with their toys. The Fire
Department soon had the flames
under CONTROL and at 1880 p. III. the fire
was all out. Mr.. Gould's loss is small,
and mostly from water, and the damage to
the building, which is owned by the Elliott
estate, which District Commissioner Webb
controls, will not amount to more than
couple of hundred dollars. In the base
ment, which is occupied as carpet clean
ing establishment, no damage at all was
done. From the density of the excessive
amount of smoke, it was at one time
feared by those present that the fire would
sweep away the adjoining buildings and
extend to the Quartermaster-G Generals
Office.
