THE MEMPHIS APPEAL
"COTTON."

Receipts Of the staple yesterday amounted
TO III bales, against 1862 bales same day last
year. The market was firm and values adj
yanced 1sc ON all grades. There Is but little
IL any good cotton in the mardet and all good
grades are In demand at prices away above
quotations. Receipts thus far this season
are COS, S7s bales and exports 0S5,96i bales.
The amount of unsold stock Is estimated at
about 1866 bales, the actual stock being
45,7Si bales. Spot cotton advanced l-l6c at
New Orleans, 20 in New York and closed
steady at full rates at Liverpool. The New
Orleans future market closed firm, old crop
months advancing 10 TO 10 points and new
crop to o points. AT New York futures
closed at the highest figures touched by this
years crop old crop months going up 10 TO
Il points and new crop to points; futures
at Liverpool remained quiet and unchanged.
The size OF the crop seems TO be playing q
subordinate part this season and the con-
sumptve demand the leading part, this lat.
ter causing the late sharp advances In the
price Of the staple. Many operators belicy,
that there Isl every likelihood of the market adj
pncing 10 even n higher point at New York
Port receipts yesterday were 5,2s2 bales, OF
1854 bales In excess Of receipts for same day
last season.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

The Sewer gas" racket Is being worked very
hard by Washington correspondents to force tne
building OF a new nwhite House" The design Is
an old one and has In long years partially sue
ceeded. There are many good folks who mink Una.

1t Is one OF the stateliost best built, most beau

Is Indeed too small for public purposes ana living

the President, that he and his iamlly may
have the secusion which every other per-
son IN the land has This would leave the
White House as the business office OF the President
and the place for social duties In dinners and re-
ceptlons. But this departure ought TO be taker on
true ground, namely, that the White House Is too
small and not on the false accusation that IL Is foul
and unfit as a habitatlon There Is Il class ofdudes
and paryenuos IN American life that is never salts
fed without gorgeous expanse Of glittering new
ness. They are the very exaggeraton oil the we

is plenty, great deal more for persona
comfort than some OF the rulers in Europ
by choice enjoy. Other Presidents beside
Harrison have found it roomy enough 70
all their purposes OF life, official duty an
official display, and it should remain tn,

Of the President OF the Republic. Instea,

THE Grand Rapids Daily Democrat, adj
verting to the dividends being made by
the Fall River cotton factories, all the way
from 10 to 22l per cent, calls attention to
the fact that "these enormous dividends
on millions OF capital presents strange
contrast to the poverty and misery OF the
thousands Of workingmen, women and
children who were lately on strike there.
The Democrat has several times adverted
TO testimony given before Senate Investi-
eating Committee at Fall River in 1885.
There were men with families working for
less than $3.50 year, their wives having
but two dresses, costing less than 50, in
the course Ola year, their children with
out shoes and stockings and clothed in
! rags, with but q ton OF coal in six month:
and salt meat only on Sundays, and fresh
meat but once month. Sickness, o
course, is the inevitable attendant OF such
privations, and doctors bills have to b'
paid. Says Senator Coke, speaking OF thu
testimony and the condition OF the labor
ers There are tales and scenes OF suffer
ing rivaling in pathos anything which cal
be told Of pauper labor in Europe" An'
yet the Republican party has continued
the robber war tariff In force-the tariff
which puts unearned profits in the pocket
OF the manufacturers and increases tn
burdens OF the poor by increasing the pric
OF most OF the necessaries OF life.
