OF this he referred to the conditions sur
rounding the cotton crop of 1889. That was
the largest one ever raised in the United
Siates-I0, coo bales-yet the fuctuatlon
In prices amounted to only IL cents per
pound, and 95 per cent. of the crop hasybeen
already moved. The lowest price touched

Labouisse expressed the opinion that had il
not been for the system of contracts for
future delivery the planters would have
been compelled to take cent less at that
time.
WOULD CLOSE THE EXCHANGES.
Upon the question of speculation Mr..
Laoouisse said that if the future contract
system were wiped out, the exchanges of
New ork and New Orleans would cease to
exist There are but five exchanges in the
world where cotton futures are dealt in
New York, Liverpool, New Orleans,
Bremen and Havre. To close out
New York and New Orleans
would be to transfer the business
to Europe and build up exchanges there.
The business will go on, he said. Cotton
will be raised and sold, and if our merchants
and dealers are not allowed to buy and sell
1t dealers in Europe will do 80. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Labouisse asserted
that owing to the peculiar conditions and
necessities of the cotton trade the producer
could not sell directly to the consumer even
If he wanted to, because he cannot tell what
grade his cotton will be when gathered.

trading by case in his own experience.

chairman
The proceedings of the committee were in
terrupted by yea and nay vote in the
House.
AS the members left the room they
were engaged in an animated dis
cussion with the visiting delegation
upon the merits of the recent failure
of Moses Trolley, st. Louis broker who
laid down under a too heavy load of wheat
The committeeman were arguing that that
failure was justification OF the bill, and
the visitors endeavored TO show that it was
mere incident to the trade, and was not
an illustration of the general methods or
experience of dealers.
Chairman Funston said that no more
hearings will be had.

The Statesman's Death Expected Be-
fore This Mornings Sunrise.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE condition
of Hon. Samuel j. Randall continues un-
changed from yesterday, save that he is
gradually growing weaker and weaker.
He rests easily and sleeps good part of the
time. His rest is natural in his state of
} ill-heaIth, and there is no need TO give him
anything to induce sleep. He takes nour-
ishment regularly.
So far as possible perfect quiet is main
tained about the sick chamber, and not
even all the members of the family are
allowed to see him, as the presence Of any
one he has not grown accustomed to seeing
during his illness might excite him and
induce him to talk.
Secretary Blaine called at Mr. Randalls
residence last night, but did not see him.
at 10:30 o'clock to-nigh5 Mr.. Randall's
physician, expressed the opinion that his
patient could not live till morning.
DEATH MoMENTARILY EXPECTED.
WASHINGTON, April 12, 2 A. M.-At lao
o'clock this morning Mr.. Randall was still
alive, but SO low that his death was almost
momentarily expected.
