FORT WORTH, Tx, Sept. n. 1855. /
A good trade was enjoyed BY our mer-
chants to-day
Country produce was very actiye at
prices quoted.
There Is no falling of In the trade In
grain at the high prices ruling here.
The trade In bagglng and ties Is very
heavy which indicates that large quantf-
ties OF cotton will soon be marketed
BOND EXPERIMENT.
An experiment was tried this week by
the treasury In the shape of an offer 10
redeem SlOiOOOO00 Of 3 per cent. bonds,
irrespective OF numbers, with interest 10
the date OF presentation, on or before
September 10. In effect 1t gives the
holders OF per cent. bonds the optlon Of
having any bonds OF that series redeemed /
up to the amount of the offer The
reason which prompted the treas.
ury to depart from the usual
form of bond calls is doubtless the
fact that the current high rates for money
furnish an inducement for holders of these /
bonds other than national bsnks to have /
them redeemed without waiting for the |
chance of their being included by number |
in compulsory bond call. At the same |
time, this action seems TO be in some
measure due TO the criticism that tue |
frequent calls for bonds cover more OF
those held for bank circulation than by
investors, and therefore contract the cur
rency TO greater extent than they re-
lease capital. Some success appears TO
have followed this action, over $500, coo
of bonds having been already presented
under 1t.
ABOUT COTTON.
A New York man writing to the editor
OF Bradstreet's takes tue following view
Of the cotton prospects:
SIR-The recent easing off In prices,
attended by apparent lack OF confidence,
in cotton has astonished many consider
ing the surroundings of the article. But
when the causes at work are analysed,
not only does the action Of the market
seem justified but, what is more impor-
tant, an early change to its course is
presaged.
Liverpool, beginning with early March,
did very large business, Manchester
being well under contract for months
ahead. With June came reports OF ex-
cessive rains and damage to crops, which
pushed prices up cent TO middle ofJuly,
The English markets are now digesting
the heavy work Of that period
and no great encouragement can
be looked for from that quarter.
On the other hand, the continent-the
best merchants of the world-after buy
ing literally at the low level OF last Sep
TENDER, abstalned from its usual mid
summer purchases because OF the higher
prices caused by Liverpool action; but
now that the selling-out liquidation OF
the June scare has been effected, bring
i. ing down prices to the lowest level at the
opening Of a season since the civil war,
/; its lifelong policy will soon show itself In
! heavy purchases when prices are low a.
i opening Of season.
: This, with revulsion in the suppl,
y question which must soon arise, will
d likely produce considerable excitement
and while January contracts sold q
i 9.20c this week, an advance TO l01c. be
), fore Christmas is not at all unlikely. Th'
i promise Of yield for lSs6-s7 is by M
u means good. Broadly put,
J, severe winter with heavy sphng rains
9 is not favorable to good yield
while separately viewed the Atlantic
g states show small backward, poorl.
u fruited plant, the gulf spotted and moth
; ing to boast Of, while Texas only promis
has been abandoned, and best authorize
claim she will not yield more than las
year. Again, the receipts coming in, spit
IS OF drought In the Southwest, must attrac
ID attention by comparison with the pas
g three years.
b, Then the statistical position is ais
ID worthy OF close study, and the predictio
v ventured that this alone will yet lead Lily
a. erpool dancing, though probably not IL
Q. after the continent has secured IN
10 cream.
1t While the above are the main pertiner
C. features, the general Improvement }
business, with the autumn promise, mus
soon tell in favor OF cotton, and the mex
few days will probably see the story Dc
or gun.
