LIGHTNING CHANGES.
A Lively OIL Market With q Small volume
of Business.

There was dull opening of the oil market
yesterday, and up to about l o'clock things
were as quiet as a church mouse. From that
time till the close, however. there was lively
movement and considerable excitement,
changes being wide and frequent A broker
said It was the most sensitive market he had
ever seen.. An offer to buy a 1000 barrel lot
put It up Il cent and so 1t went for an hour
or two. Later on there was break caused by
selling in Oil City. followed by quick recov-
cry. The market closed strong at almost the
highest point Of the day. The fluctuations
were too much ON the lightning order to be
available to the scalpers. Trading was light.
Cash oil was neglected. Features follow.

The exaction Of the bagglng
trust aroused in Southern cotton
planters a manly and just feeling
of resentment and determination to
make themselves independent Of
iute bagging. 1t would be still bet
ter thing for them IN the end if
they could be aroused by som corr
ner, monopoly or boom" to free
themselves from the use of North>
ern hay also. In comparison with
the amount spent for hay and 9TH
er provender imported into the
South from other states, the cost of
cotton bagging is a small sum.
Farmers who buy hay (and unfort-
unatelY their name is legion) can
easily make computation for them
selves and see this is so. 1t is not
the gross amount received for it
that MAKES the profit of the cotton
crop; any more than any other bus
mess. The profit is to be found
only after the subtraction of
the expenses, and the cost Of pur~
chased hay is one of them. It is'OnC
also, that can most easily be saved,
for every cotton and corn planter
has enough, and more than enough
of 1t growing on his own land, l
is wastetul negligence to refrain
from cutting it at the proper time

"Do your duty" where the words
of Lord Wellington to his soldiers
just before the battle of Waterloo and
history tells us how well they obeyed.
The same advice might properly be
given to every man at this time.
There are many men who would do
their whole duty in time of war or
great need, but when there is no
such great occasion, neglect their
plain simple duties to their God,
their families and themselves. 1t
Is not for want of honor nor because
they do not love their families, but
from pure neglect; as an instance
statistics compiled by the national
authorities show that more deaths
result from bowel complaints than
any other one cause, except consum-
ptiOn, yet not more than one fam
lily N six are provided with medi-
cines that will relieve or cure the
diseases. It is the duty of every
man TO protect their families, and
they are certainly at heart guilty of
criminal carelesn ess if they neglect
to do so. No one can plead pow
erty IN this instance, as the best
remedy there is for the purpose only
cost but % cents. The article we
refer to is Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DIaIrh9a Remedy.

THB commissioners of agricul~
ture of six Southern states met in
Atlanta, Ga. on the End. of Aug.
TO discuss the ways and means of
advancing the agricultural interest
of their states. After the cOnclu-
sion of their meeting each reported
the condition of the crops of their
respective states, as follows;
Commissioner Robinson, in speak
ing of the crops of North Carolina,
said: "The upland corn is very fine
this year, but the creeks and bran
ches have been so swollen by those
heavy rains that the crops have
been badly damaged IN the low
lands. The large rivers, however
have not been out or the damage
would have been much greater. /
can't say the tobacco crop is fine all
over the State but in parts 1t Is ex-
cellent. | don't think a better
wheat crop was ever made anywhere.
The farmers Alliance has been in
existence with US longer than in
either South Carolina, Georgia or
Alabama. We have 10000 mem
bers in the State. They meet on the
18th of this month, and will take
some action about the cotton ques-
ton"
Mr.. Cheney said: THE crops IN
Alabama are very good. More
corn has been made than In many
years, and the cotton promises we'll,
Very few bales have been covered
yet. They will however, try to cover
the whole crop with cotton. If
they can get cotton bagging for
only 90 per cent. of the crop, and
can't get the tare regulated, it will
cost the planters an immese sum.
The jute bagging weighs fifteen and
three quarter pounds on a bale and
the cotton bagging only six pounds.
This will be a loss Of 80 cents q
bale, or, ON the whole crop, the loss
will be 81 100000.
Gen. Whitehead said: 1--WE had
the finest crops in Virginia almost
ever saw-the finest grass and the
largest area of corn ever planted
then these treshets came along and
dld great damage. The tobacco,
oats, hay and wheat have all been
seriously damaged. A great deaI

thousand inhabitants. Denton has two

and two roller mills, one of which is per
haps the best in the state. 1t is surround

Bishop Nicely, Esq, son of the veneer
able Rev. 7. J. Nicely ofYour county.
This has been a very wet season in Tex
as. The finest crops of corn, wheat, oats,
cotton and millet ever saw are here.
Two thousand bushels of corn were
sold a few days ago at ten cents per bush
Ell, to be delive red IN Denton out of the
new crop. This is less than its market
value but corn and oats are very cheap.
When there is a drought farmers COM
plain at the scarcity of farm products and
when there is plenty of rain they COM

prices.
