CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business ir the Grain Center Dur
Ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October 5-To-day the wheat
market opened bullish and Ha12C. higher,
initial trades i'll December being at S27sc.
Early cables were strong. Free realizings
by longs at Ground S3Ac. for December
broke the price to S2AaS27sc., but the
bulk of business done during the first half
OF the session was at S31sc. News from
the Northwest was again beariSh and
there were some selling orders from that
part OF the country. Stocks i'll the
Northwest are now piling up rapidly.
The possible increase in the next visible
supply report is variouSly estimated at
from 1,25O,O00 to 100000 bushels.
4 feature of the market was the widening
of the difference between October and De-
cembcr to &c, and the narrowing of the
premium on May over December from
234c. to 24c. Closing public cables called
spot wheat in Liverpool firm but in linn
tied demand, with futures Hc. higher.
Private cables were generally strong i'll
tone. Half an hour or SO before the close
there was a bulge to the best prices of the
day on covering by shorts, who appear
to take fright easily. Later the market
eaSed OF liaasc. and the adjournment
showed a net gain for the day of 2sa5sc.
A moderate speculative trade was re-
ported i'll the corn market, and the feel
ing developed was weaker. Trading was
largely local and fluctuations within asC.
range The market opened at about
yesterdays closing prices, was easy and
sold off liaasc., rallied Il little and closed
a shade below yesterdays final quota
tiOnS.
Oats were weaker andlowcr. Receipts
were liberal and Il larger run was pre-
diclcd for Monday. Buying orders were
scarce but IL number Of selling orders ar
rived from the outside for October and
May. Offerings increased and prices dc.
clincd lsalic. and the market closed easy.
Pending the hearing Of the motion in
the superior court for Il dissolution of the
Injunction restraining the delivery of Oc-
tober packed mess pork on contracts,
there was very little trading in the mar
ket for hog products. Outside offers are
very light and local operators are max
ing only occasional small trades.

THE COTTON CROP
The Present Year the Largest
Ever Grown in the south.

Careful estimates make the cotton
crop of the current season, 1SS9-9O, the
largest ever produced in the South. 1t
reaches 6,935, 900 bales. The crop of
lSS7-SS was something over 1000, 900
bales. But in weight this seasons pro-
duct exceeds that oflast by 10000, 900
pounds. The greatest crop known i'll
the days of slavery was that of 1S59-6O.
1t amounted to4, ,S23, 900 bales During
the war the industry was paralyzed.
After the war the annual yield increased,
with some fluctuations, from 2,2O0, 900
bales in 1S65-66 to 100000 in 1875
76, and 6,55O,OO in 1SS5-S6. Still
more remarkable and significant is
the advance made by the South i'll
the manufacture of its great staple
For some time after the war it
was a producer, but not consumer
In 1S79-SO the number of Southern mills
was 1914. They had $4,000 spindles
and consumed that season $1,000, 900
pounds of cotton. There are now 259
mills with 1,+5O,O0O spindles running.
The amount of cotton consumed during
the past year exceeds 22O, 900 600 pounds
That is forty millions and 200 900 spindleS
more than the South had two years ago.
1t is nearly 50,O00,O0O pounds more Of
cotton than was taken by Southern
mills then 1t is believed that the cotton
crop of the coming season will exceed
that of the past. Indeed there appears
to be no limit to the productive capacity
of the South. If the annual yield keeps
on increasing as it has the time is not far
distant when the crop will be 10000
600 bales.

Confederate reunion which took place
on Friday. He was much delighted
with what he saw and heard. There

The generous hospitality of Macon,
overlooked i'll the magnificent dinner
given. An eloquent address of welcome
was made by Mr.. Kope Elias, always
equal to the occasion. Judge Clark, him
self a veteran, seeing hard real service,
smelling and burning powder as a Junior
Reserve, made fine speech. Messrs. G.
NJ. Ferguson, 7. d. Johnston and |. NJ.
Moody, the first two battle SCARED vet
Grams, made animated addresses.
The crowd assembled at the court
house and marched under the command
of William Silcr to the grove near the

The Day of Atuncmcnt, the most solemn

dar, which began at sunrise on Friday

served by the Hebrew inhabitants of the
city. The day was observed according
to Lcvticus %, verse 80 1t is a Sab
bath of rest from even to even, when all
IsracliteS, under severe penalty, are to
afllict their souls. The day is universally
observed. Few fail to suspend business,
and by far the largest number of Jewish
adults fast, partaking neither of solid nor
liquid foods for the twenty-four hours.
1t is solemn fast for the pardon of sins
of all who are sincerely contrite, who
have made amends and who forgive those
who have inflicted injury upon them.

OH, TO BF: a CzAR!
Soldiers Line His Proposed Route
to the German Capital.

Copyright 1889. n. Y. Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 5.-Official kilograms
from Fred Ensbor, received at Pottsdam
and the foreign office tonight, say that
the Gar will start for Berlin Tuesday
next According to the present program,
the Gar will 90 to keil, journeying
thence by way of Oldcrsloc and Schwarz-
cnbcck to Berlin. This program is sub
iect to alteration. Schirinkine, chief of
the Cars secret police, passed through
Berlin to-day on his way to kicl. He is
accompanied by the Inspector of the I'M
perial trains. The Cars special train,
once owned by Empress Eugene, lies at
the station here, having come from
Wirballcn.
There are swarms of Russian police
here, at Kiel, and all stations along the
proposed route. Russian troops line the
rails from Wirballen to Moscow. The
precautions taken tar exceed those on the
occasion of the former visit of the
Gar, and are due to his intense fears of
an attempt upon his life.
The Czarina leaves Copenhagen on
Oct. II tor Konigsberg, rcjoining the
Gar at the same point on the homeward
Journey. Only the court minister, War
autzaw Daschwkof, and aides-de-camp,
Generals Tehereurine and Richter will ac-
company the Gar.

A Compromise Effected with 1he
window Glass blowers.

BALTIMORE, October "a strike of
window light glass blowers, which began
last June and has seriously affected man
ufacturcrs and 5000 employees in busi-

sun Cotton Review.

New YORK, October 5.-The Suns cot
ton review says: Futures were a lit
tie firmer, but the demand was quite
small, and the close was dull. 1t is
thought that receipts will for some time
show no considerable increase over last
year, and some of the bears got uneasy
and covered. Estimates of port receipts
for the coming week run from 100000
to 276,0O0 bales, Crop accounts were
very favorable. The Cotton Exchange
to-day acted upon the certificate ques-
tion. The opinion seemed to be opposed
to the absolute repeal of the existing
rules, but to favor their modification.
Cotton on spot was dull.

GEORGIA IN THE LEAD.
THI; CHRONICLE, OF AUGUSTA,
PREPARED TO PROVE 1T.
She Has More Cotton Mills, and
Runs More SpIndIes, and There
fore Must Consume More Cotton
Than Any of Her Sister states.

AUGUSTA, Ga, October 5.-The Chroni-
Gle will say tomorrow: Georgia holds
the first place" The Chronicle has
already disputed the statement of Mr..
Sheppcrson that Georgia has lost her
place as the best cotton manufacturing
State of the South. Relying upon the
proven statement of Shepperson, and
not upon its own figures, giving The num-
Der of mills and spindles in its present is
sue.
The Chattanooga Tradesman makes
South Carolina the banner cotton man
ufacturing State.
In the Tradesman of October I, there
are published exhaustive reports of the
cotton industries in the South. giving
the names and number of nj $ in each
place and State, with the number OF
looms and spindlcs, and kinds of goods
made by each mill. The Tradesman
reports 81 mills and 476,OOO spindIcs
for Georgia, and fiity-two mills and 292,-
600 spindles for South Carolina. Surely
it is conclusive that the lesser number of
Splndlcs cannot consume more cotton
than the greater. The Augusta mills
were stopped for four months last year
on account of the break in the canal
which reduced its consumption to 10, 900
bales. Columbus consumed 10000, Ma
con $4,000, Athens 10000 and Atlanta
10000, making for the mills named 1O4.-
600 bales. There are 1J6,OOO Spindlcs
left in the State to consume $4,000 bales
more. According to the figures of
the tradcsman the Chronicles report
gives Georgia her old position at
the head of the cotton industry in the
South, the consumption of her mills
last year being 900 bales in excess of
the mills of South Carolna
