UARY.

The beginning of new year
usurped the hope among cotton
men that a turning point had been
reached and that better prices might
be looked forwarded to with conf.
dsnce. This hope was destined to
disappointment. The market became
better for a few days but soon re-
lapsed into the former condition Of
affairs, the price at the end of the
month showing no variation from
the ruling figures at the beginning.
January I'd middling was quoted at
89.16c. On the 4th the price ad-
vanced to 8'11. Ice, and this advance
was maintained until the 10Th, when
a gain Of an additional sixteenth was
recorded aud the price Of middling
fixed at Sic, which price was steadily
held until the close Of the month,
The receipts of the month showed a
marked falling off from the figures
of the month preceding, aggregating
3,475 bales, against l42, III for De-
cember. Shipments, 50,698 bales,
leaving a stock at the close of 14l,-
10 bales. Sales AZ 300 bales, OF
which 29,625 to exporters.

Under the Influence of heavy re-
esipts the market continued to de-
cline. On the 5th of November
middling was reduced from 9 to
8 l5-16c, Mt which price sales
were freely made, breaking tho mar
ket next day to $50, where it re-
manned until the 18th, when the
price was again lowered to 8
ID Ice. On the 10th the market
hardened to Sic for middling
and ruled steady at that figure to
November 10Th, when the price ad-
vanoed to &c, and held firmly at
that figure until the close of the
month. Receipts OF the month were
the largest on record, 150,T14 bales;
shipments, 10l ,536 bales, leaving a
stock at the close of 102,989 bales.
Sales during the month were 81, $50
bales, Of which SO, 400 to exporters.

We are offering nothing. The eff
feet was electric, and in many in
stances ludicrous. The buyers were
first astonishcd, then alarmed and
started in to cover their short sales
at the best figures they could. An
advance was inaugurated and cotton
gradually moved up from 8tc for
middling to 9sc. The effect was felt
in New Orleans and other points and
prices everywhere improved. To
Memphis merchants, however, is due
the credit of having made the first
stand against a decline which threat
ened to impoverish the entire South
aud of having established and main
tanned a higher rance Of prices than
have existed or been obtained in any
other Southern market. During the
latter part of the season Memphis
has constantly quoted and obtained
Bloc more for cotton than New Or
leans and to more than st. Louis,
and we'll has she been rewarded.
Shipments from points contiguous,
to other markets have flowed in up
on US and Memphis receipts have
Increased from 10000 bales in 1884
IS to nearly $4,000 bales in 1886
Sc. Another year it is safe to
prophesy that she will receive and
sell 100000 bales.
The sterling integrity of Memphis
factors, the vigilant care with which
they watch the interests of their pa.
irons, the unyielding determination
with which they resist the tendency
to lower prices, the low charges for
handling cotton, are all potent fac
tors in bringing about the convie-
ton to cotton producers that Mem
phis is the mos, desirable market to
ship to, and that conviction is spread
ing and gaining strength with the
progress of years, and at the present
rate of progression il will not be
many years before Memphis has es.
tablished her claim TO be considered
the chief cotton market Of the
South. Her geographical position,
her nnequaled facilities for Transport
tation both by rail and water, her
proximity to leading centers of cot
ton production, all point to the des-
tiny indicated, and the pluck and en-
terprise of her merchants may be re-
lied upon to achieve that result.

decline in value of lc, due principal
ly to favorable crop prospects and

of September the market declined to

This was disastrous month for
the staple, the net loss in prices
amounting to &c per pound. The
month opened with middling at
% 11-16c; on the 8,h it declined to
SIC, and on the 10th to s 9-16c. No
further change in prices was ex-
perienced until the 18th, when
prices were lowered to Sic, followed
the very next day by a further de-
cline to 8 7-16c. On the 23d there
was another loss of Ic to SIC, and the
tone of the market quoted irregular.
On TIE 26th the price OF middling was
reduced to Ste, the lowest figure of
the year (and the lowest since De-
cember 6, 1878, when the price
touched 8Bc), and so remained until
the close of the month. The re-

MARCH,

During this month healthy reac-
ton set in, and under the general be-
lief that cotton had touched a point
below the cost of production, specu-
lation became active and the price
advanced rapidly. In New York on
March 1st August futures advanced
10 points from 9.0Sc to &c. On the
Sd the price of August deliveries
had reached 9.45c, and from that
point there was steady advance uu-
til on March 9th the price touched
9.7Oc. New York spots also sd-
vanced from SIC March LIST to 9ic
for middling. In sympathy with
this advance our market jumped TO
SIC March Sd, $50 March 18th, See
March 9th, and remained at the lat
ter figure until March 18th, when
80 loo was the recorded quotation.
On the 18th it again advanced to SEC,
and on the 18th to $50, which figure
was maintained, with slight varia-
ton, to the close of the mouth. Re-
ceipts for the month, 30,302 bales;
shipments, 63,604 bales, leaving a
stock at the close of the month of

TROUBLED DEMOCRACY.

A leading democratic congressman
Is quoted as saying that he can count
at least fifty members of the house on
his side who do not want TO try for
. reelection on account of the con-
sciousness that defeat is certain. 1t is
undenisbly true, says the Globe
Democrat that, with a peculiarly fav-
orable opportunity To vindicate the
integrity of its profession. and prove
its fitness for the practical duties OF
government, the democratic party has
succeeded only in confirming the worst
opinions that have ever been held 81
its hypocrisy and incapacity-and it is
very easy to understand that the peo-
pie will relieve it of its present power
and responsibility just as rapidly as
the work can be done.-Common-
wealth.
What with the labor troubles, the
prostitution of every industry, the
destruction of our ship-building inter-
ests, the permitted insolencc OF
English dependencies and the high
handed proceedings of cabiret and
bureau Off ials of this administration,
all together, have exhausted the
patience of the American people aud
brought more wildly to their minds
the truth that the democratic party
never changes. Four more years of
such rule would land us on the borders
of the slough where we were left by
tho last democratic administration
under q Buchanan.

WICHITA VS., KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City had a population in 1870
of 80 ,260, and the whole county was
only 81, 04I-Or the city had 4, 740 more
than half the population of the county.
In 1880 the city had 81. 7S5, and the en-
tire county 82,325-or the city had
then more than two-thirds of the pop
ulation of the county. From 1870 to
1880 the city increased 22,7S1 in pop
ulation, and the county outside only
$3.50. We had last fall, by city Gen.
sus, 105, 900 people, and at the rate of
increase for the county of the preced-
ing census, there is now outside the
city only 2S,500-or less than one
fourth the population of the county.
The revenues are more out of proper
ton than these figures of population.

The above shows the relation of
Kansas City to Jackson county, in
which it is located, and is a splendid
Illustration of what we can reasOna-
bly, expect of Wichita. Such being
the Gaze, what voter is there, outside
of the city of Wichita, who would
cut his own nose of to spite his face,
in the face of the above facts by vot-
ing against the bonds next Tuesday!
BY the above it will be seen that
Jackson county, outside OF the city,
pays less than one-fourth of the taxes
of the county, and Wichita will do the
same.-Valley Center News.

WE MUST FIGHT.

Secretary Bayard is an old fossil,
and will not fight, Had he the cour.
age of a blue jay he would have spread
the wings of the American eagle,
when Canada stepped on one of the
feathers of its tail, and made it utter a
scream that would have paralized the
universe. Our great bald headed
emblem of liberty should perch itself
upon the highest peak of the CONT
nent and proclaim to the world that
Americans should rule America, en-
phasising every word with a patriotic
scream that would shake the founda-
tons of every government in the
civilized world.
We have been insulted by q little
tenth rate government and it is our
plain duty to fight.-El Dorado Re-
