ON SPECULATION.
Atwood, Violet T. Co. Give Their Opinion
On the Cotton Market and Fu-
tures-Crop Estimates.
The Cotton Report.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. eastwood,
Violet & Co. say:
F'utures-As generally expected, Liver
pool opened lower, but recovered the de-
cline and advanced 2-64 over Saturday,
closing firm. Spot sales are 1900 bales at
an advance of l-16c. The better feeling
there is attributed to spinners buying more
freely, induced, perhaps, by the lnforma-
ton that went from this side last week
anticipating an early failiug-off in receipts.
Instead of this, however, the movement
continues very large, there being at ports
to-day o., 900 bales, against 43, 600 bales last
year, with expected receipts here tc-mor-
Tow OF 30, 900 bales, against $1,000 bales at
all ports last year. which we shall exceed
tomorrow. The remaining three days this
week last year were comparatively small
and we shall doubtless easily make the eSti-
mates for all ports this week 800, 900 bales.
Our market, however, remains very steady
and closes at 4 points better than last Satur-
day. We are in the position of a waiting
market. Whether the promise of a large
now confirmed, Will cause another halt
in Liverpool, tomorrow will perhaps de-
termiue. There are ruInOrS to-day that
Mr.. Neill was about reducing his crop esti-
mate. We learn from Mr.. Neil himself
that on the contrary he is more
than ever confirmed in his esti-
mate of 100000 bales minimum
made on the nth instant. Since that date
the excess il sight over last year has in
creased nearly one hundred thousand bales.
Our advices are that at the railroad sta
tons leading into the city there is a great
abundance of cotton only awaiting trans
portation to market. If trade on the other
side remains permanently in the market, it
would certainly have a stiffening effect on
prices, if only temporarily.
Spots closed quiet and firm. Sales, $500
bales. Quotations unchanged.
F. o. b. sales, POO bales. Offerings light,
while prices from some stations are reason
able. The interior generally is above
parity with this market.

ureS OF Saturday. is the story of trading in
wheat to-day. Early news was mostly bearish.
Selling against privileges kept the price OF
corn down some at the start but after the
limits had been passed the market bulged
sharply. The small local stocks, cables and
unfavorabe trading were the bull factors. and
there was a liberal purchase o. December and
the year by parties who have been identified
with November on the bull side. ALI OF these
things scared the shorts and there was jump
upward. November scored an advance Of 4Jsc
over closing prices SATURDAY and closed at the
top. December is up lc May &c.
The receipts OF hogs were very heavy and
estimates of them were also heavy. Hog prod
ucts for this reason were weak 1t the start and
declined for time. but rallied later in SYM
pathy with the strength in corn, but the appre-
citation, however, was not held and the close
was near the lowest figures o. the day.

left this city about the first of October, and
was then apparently in good health, but the

was taken sick very suddenly and died

GAS COOP AS GOLD.n

Mr.. r. NJ Widney, President of the Uni
versity Bank of Los Angeles, read an ad-
dress before the Commercial Congress at
Kansas City which has been printed in
pamphlet form under the title of "As Good
as Gold" The first fourteen pages Of the
pamphlet are devoted to statements show
ing that the present volume of currency is
not sufficient to do the business of the coun-
try with, and the rest to plan providing
for currency to the amount of $50 per capita
of the population in addition to the gold
and silver now in use. To make secure
foundation for his paper issue Mr. Widney
proposes an amendment to the Constitution,
Is follows:
Article XVI, Section ]. A national currency
circulating medium shall be issued TO the amount
OF $50 per capita. as shown by the census of
1890, ana by each succeeding census, for the
proper redemption OF which. when required, the
resources, the property and The faith of the ma
ton are pledged. for which redemption Congress,
by twO-tliiIds vote OF each House. may provide
for the collection Of Government revenues and
taxes III gold or silver com.
Sec. 2. Said currency, with gold and silver coin
OF lie United STATES, OF present weight and fine
ness, the gold coin being The standard or unit OF
value, and such notes may be issued In lieu OF
gold or silver coin and bullion, held exclusively
iot tuS ItucHptiOH lDctfol, sDdH constitute the
only legal money OF the United States and shall
be received at par in satisfaction OF all oblga-
lions for the payment of money within the juris-
diction Of the United States. Said gold and sill
yer coin and currency shall be exchangeable at
par value.
Sec 3. Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation, but shall
have no power to increase or decrease said issue,
provided that after The issue of 1890 Congress
may, by two-tbrds vote OF each House reduce
the rate OF any further issue per capita from
time 10 time.
This scheme, it is believed, will be advo-
Gated by a portion of the banking interest of
the country. There is general complaint
of the narIowness Of the basis upon which
the vast paper currency of the country rests.
This deficiency compels an undue use of
paper in the form of checks, drafts, certif-
Gates and other evidences of money, based
upon the personal responsibility of indiyidu-
ais, firms and corporations. These forms of
paper money are passed from hand to hand
and In ordinary times serve their purposes,
but credit thus based upon insufficient Sc.

OUR IRON MINES.

A free-trade contemporary has frequently
lamented that the duties Oh iron prevented
importation from England at a shade lower
cost than the iron imported from the East
ern States. California, it was said, produced
no iron and was consequently interested in
getting a supply from the cheapest source
But it appears from local article in Fri
days CALL that iron can be produced in this
State at a cost which will warrant the liz
yestment of n large sum of money. The
San Diego Iron and Steel Company Is pre-
pairing to open iron mines in that locality on
a large ale. The conditions are favorable,
except labor and coal. The San Diego CON-
pany will have to pay higher wages than are
current in the East or England, but they are
protected against the former by long land
transportation and against the latter by the
duties on foreign iron. 1t is more likely
than not that the great need of coal will
lead to the discovery and opening of mines
of good quality. There have been reports
of the discovery OF anthracite coal beds, but
as vet no very extensive explorations have
been made,

curty, is their principal element OF value.
Mr.. Widney proposes to double the amount
of currency, making the paper issue payable

would be used to take up the present paper
currency of the United States and national
bank notes. not including gold or silver GER
tiicates. There would remain sos, Oh, 19S
to be put in circulation. By a process de-
scribed in the pamphlet the Government is
authorized to buy legally issued bonds of
States, counties, and incorporated cities of
over 5000 inhabitants Bonds, to be accept
able under the law, must not be for an
amount exceeding per cent of the averaged
assessed value of the property for the five
preceding years. These bonds are to be
issued for public improvements to run
twenty years at . per cent, the interest pay
able at Washington or any Sub Treasury.
These bonds are to be liens on property
until redeemed. 1t is thought that $780,
0o0,000 may he put in circulation in this way.
The remaining S300, Geo, 900 may be loaned
to banks incorporated 10y owners of real
estate The objection that will be urged to
this scheme is that by increasing the vol
ume of the currency the purchasing power
OF money Will be decreased. Property will
not be worth as much with circulating
medium of $40 per capita as with cireuat-
ing medium of $50 per capita. The answer
will De that present prices are fixed by a
contraction of the currency below actual
needs and that expansion is only returning
to normal conditions.

MIR. BLAINE'S HEALTH.

If Mr.. Blaine was sufficiently we'll to be in
the enjoyment of his ordinary sense of
humor he would doubtless be diverted by
the numerous and conflicting reports con-
corning his health Nearly every account
begins with the statement that no one else
had been accorded an interview. Having
thus made the track clear the correspondent
gives his imagination free rein. The re-
port from Senator Hale is most likely cor
rect statement of the case. Mr.. Hale can
be interviewed and he is pretty certain to
be well informed. He also sets at rest some
silly gossip about jeal0uses between the
President and Mr.. Blaine. The people hope
that an early return of Mr.. Blaine to WASH
ington will demonstrate the truth of what
Mr.. Hale is reported as having said.

NATIONAL FIGHTS.

The New York Tribune says: SIN one
sense nobody has right to protest against
an immigration which is not in danger OF be-
coming directly charge upon the public"
On this proposition there will be difference
of OF inion. An American workingman can
better afford to support an occasional pauper
than to submit to Il reduction OF wages,
which tree immigration would enforce. All
men are free to better their condition If they
cap,and all men are equally free to preserve
such advantages as they possess. To re-
Quire the American lab0rer, who as a rule,
supports family, TO submit.to an immigra-
ton that would materially reduce his
wages. is as unreasonable as to require a
man who has accumulated some property to
divide with those who have been less
prudent, less Industrious or less lucky. No
one blameS Chinese laborer who can only
earn 10 or 10 cents a day for irving to
get into country where he can earn ten
times as much. But the Chinese laborer. as
a rule, represents himself only, while n
white laborer is chief ad-winner for
about FIVE persons II brought in competi-
tiUn with the Sinsle-handed laborer, he will
be beaten. The civilization in which the
American is bred imposes greater burden
on him than is placed on the Chinese. If
the latter feeds himself he has done all that
society requires of him, but much less than
society requires of his white competitor.

ers. The nation would get the work which
can do it at the lowest cost. All the civ
ilized world would be in active competition,
and success would rest with the people who,
through their ingenuity or their endurance,
could do the cheapest work and pre-
serve their physical condition at the high
est point. For nations which are on the
lowest level, free trade ami free immigra-
ton hold out a hope of better things; but
for nation which has held its workers on
higher plane, free trade and free immi-
grafton will prove destructive. The worker
must work as cheaply as the cheapest in
the world, or he will not get the work to do.
