LITERALLY A sPAsM.

The occurrence was literally spasm, and
the excitement around tho trading ring for
4 few moments was intense. The price SET
tied back quickly to TO- rs cents, and con-
tinued to decline up to the close, when the
market was comparatively quiet. although
dealings in August were sensitive and
feverish at about TO- 45 cents, Just the point
AT which the sudden advance started. The
only rational conclusion to be drawn from
the esrntic behavior Of August to-day is
that the corner may yet prove by no means
"a dead cock in the pItn There may be-
some lively fiuttering aid powerful shuf-
fling seen before September opens

COTTON's sPASM.
The Price Forced Up Half Cent ia
Less Than a Minute.

New YORK, Aug. 22-The cotton ex-
change was electrified to-day by spas
modic squirt in August options that has no
parallel in the history of the exchange, the
price skyrocketing up SO points (which is
exactly one-half cent pound in less than
a minute.
The unprecedented performance seems to
have been brought about In this way: The
general opinion was that the August corner
had collapsed, but all the short interest had
not been covered The bears were jubilant
over the big drop OF over cent a pound
since last Thursday, but were at the same
time resolved not TO be caught again Ac-
cordingly when August rallied in gradual
way, without any excitement, from 1881

NEW ESTEgs.a1 sE3sEs.
(From the S. F. Examiner.)

VT ANiAA tAAS Al- II .A4Acti4tAtClsJ
 J. v. Owen eff Flagstaff, A. T., is in the city. He says there is much acti- witty m hIs section owing to the fact that the Mineral Belt Railroad is to be extended from Mormon Dairy to Globe, where It will connect with a branch of the Southern Pacific, making virtually an entire new road 300 miles long. At present the northern divi- slOn extends from Flagstaff in Yava- pal county thirty five miles south.
 "Thls road" said Mir. Owen, twill tap a new aRd fertile reglon, well adapted to grape, fruit and grain growing, and will reach the rich agri- cultural regions of the Gila river, which are just now being irrigated by some very big ditches.
 There are some new irrigating en- terprlses under way thare. too One of them is by Hildreth, Johnson < Co.,, of Kansas City, who propose to irri- gate 10000 acres. Another is by Gib- son & Merrill This latter Is 10 distri- bute over vast area and irrigate about 10000 acres. Perhaps not less than half dozen small enterprises of the sort are under way there, also"
 William King, a cattle-owner of the Gila river, who IS also in the city, told an Examiner representative that the great enterprises begun there would add 50,O00 population to Northern Arizona inside of three years. He said many drouth-stricken people from Western Kansas and Texas were now settling there.

gatlsn; the balance being mountain, mesa and sand, it would be impracti- cable to try to make it arable. The adobe land along the river bottom is best adapted to farming purposes. He suggests that the Indians on the res ervation would undoubtedly be self supporting in few years if a good system of irrigation was afforded them He recommends tbat ths Government investigate the matter and survey the land.
 Fifty-eight pupils attended the schools at Parker and Yuma during the year. Satisfactory progressYn the studies is noted, but the agent asks for another school room.

An Enteresllng ssnator!aI Contest

|
 The arrival in this city, says the N. Y. World, of Ex-Senator N. P. Hill, of -Colerado, and the expected coming of Edward Weolcot, of Denver, suggests that one of the most interesting Ggbts in this country for entrance to the United States Senate may be tempora- rily removed to New York. Hill is one of the silver kings of the Centen- nial State. He went West years ago from Massachusetts in search of health, and finding it, settled down among the hills of Colorado, and with the ald of Boston capitalists built large smelt- ing works. Returning East upon a visit he teok back to Colorado with him two young relatives, Henry and Edward Woolcot, sons of a Presbyte- rian clergyman in Connecticut. The former, who has become president of a large smelling company, is now millionaire. The latter, who was graduated from the Harvard Law School, is railroad attorney with lucrative practice. The battling of political ambitions, however, has not only set the relatives adrift, but has even made Hill and the Woolcot brothers bitter foes. The recently elected legislature of Colorado will elect a Senator to succeed Thomas Bowen, tue boss poker player of the Upper House of Congress. Hill wishes to return to the seat he once occupied, but Edward Woolcot thinks he could sit in it quite comfortably, and, as result, the Denver Republican, which Hill owns, has nethlng but abuse for the lawyer candidate. Bowen has combined with Hill, as has also old "Nightshirt" Tabor, te defeat the as plrations of the young candidate, whose friends are wagering their money that he will be elected. In any event, fortune will be expended in the fight. Should Woolcot, who IS thirty-fOur years of age, be elected, he will bs the youngest member of the Senate. He is the man who made i a popular hit at last winters dinner
  of the New England Society by hls speech on "The New West" He is one of the handsomest ot men.

THE PIMA AGENCY.

THE PI5iA AGENCH.
 Claude M. Johnson, the agent for the Pima, Marlcopa and Papage h. dians, submits his first annual report. Mr. Johnson finds the Indians on his reservation, as rule, courageous, honest and truthful, and he says their average intelligence is fully up to the Indian standard. The Pimas occupy the valley of the Gila River, and are more prosperous than the Papagoes, whS live principally on the desert land and work as day laborers for the Piuas.
 The agent recommends the extension ot irrigation facilities. He says that the judicious expenditure of a few thousand dollars in the construction of large ditch would redeem hun dredS of acres of land on the reserva- tion and give support te many Indians who are wiling and know how te de- rive good living from the cultivation of the soil, but are not able to do so for the want of irrigation. Earning, fruit growing and stock ralsipg must necessarily be the incentive to promul- gate civilized ideas and overcome the savage tendencies of their natures"
 The Indian population on the re- serve is estimated at 668O. The crops raised by the three tribes are estlma, ted as follows: Wheat, 90,000 bush els; barley, 3O,OOO; corn, 5000; beans, 5000. The Indians own 12,O00 horses, mules and cattle.
 COLORADO RIVER AGENCY.
 George W. Busey, Tn charge of the Colorado River Agency at Parker, Arizona, submits hls second annual re- pert to the Commissioner. The reser- vation is occupied by the Mehave h. dians. The agent says: Many years ago the tribe separated, the adherents of one chef locating at Fort Mehave, above The Needles, in California. Considerable of contention has existed between the two chiefs at The Needles. One old man claimed to be the right ful chief, who delights to kick up rntv v,banoyar an onnortunitv ie ,f forded, while hls contestant is sober, peaceable Indian by the name of Gen. Jim, who is deSirous of aiding the Gov- ernment in maintaining peace and keeping the Indians sober.

Annual Report of Agents
SAN CARLOS AGENCY.

Capt. John l.. Bulls, 24th Infantry
 acting agent at the San Carlos Agen- cy, A. T., reports satisfactory con, ditlon of affairs. He says the removal of the hostile Chiricahua and Warm Spring Indians has resulted very ben officially to the remaining tribes, the
 White Mountains, Coyoteros, San Car los, Tontos, Mohaves and Yf1Ass. An increased prosperity has 61At noted during the past yeaF, and more gen eral devotion to industrial pursuits. The Yumas and Mehavss arg Ihe most industrious and peaceably Asposed, being less addicted to gambling, drunk ennoss and fighting than the other four tribes, and are adopting more readily the apparel and customs of the whites. Among the White Noun talns, San Carlos, CoyOteros and Tento Apaches the use of "tiswln, an lntOx- icating drink made from corn, is very frequent. The drunkenness resulting irem it is very demoralizing.
 There IS one boarding school in op- eration. The average attendance Is forty. In some cases parents still ob- ject, through superstitious ignorance, to sending their children to school The outlook for educational and in- dustrlal improvement of the Indians at this agency is deemed fattering.
 NAVAJO AGENCY.
 s. $. Patterson, agent eff the Maya jos, reports that there are d8OOO Iu- dIans on the reservation. The Maya jos are nomadic Tn their habits, and constantly move about with tholr herds and focks over a vast territory. As a general rule the tribe is healthy and rugged.
 The principal pursuit of the Navajo is stock-raising. The agent reports that they ewn 245,0C0 horses and ponies, 300 mules. $500 cattle, 800,0GO sheen, 300,000 goats and 500 burros. The wool clipped for the year amount ed to 100000 pounds. They sold to traders 800,000 pounds, atprices rang ing from Sc te 10c per pound. They also sold 3O00OO sheep pelts at 1Oc each, and 100000 goatskins at 25c to 50c each. The Indian farmers raised 6G00 bushels of wheat, 75;e00 bushels of corn, 10000 pumpkins and 15000 melons. The agent recommends the of a grist mill for the use of tine Indians.
 In closing the agent says that never in the history of the Navaios have they approached the prosperity. peace and happiness that surrounds them to-day. Their trus condition sheuld be known te the country, and we'll directed efforts, vigorously applied, toward lifting them up to higher plane" @
