The Baggins Question.

The following extracts from letters to the
Boston Journal of Commerce on the bagging
problem are interesting: A correspondent
at savannah, Ga, says: Last season and
the season before, owing to the jute trust,
as you are aware, and the high prices for
jute bagging, substitutes were used. Among
those which we handled were pine-straw
bagging, which came nearer being perfect
substitute than any of the others, and sheet
ing, such as osnaburg and cotton bagg1ny.
This year we doubt whether any substi-
tutes will be used, for the reason that the
lute trust is broken up. Prices OF iute bag
ging are lower than they have been before
speculation in bagging occurred, and the
planters have gotten over their deep preiu-
dice against jute. There is no question
that there has never been any substitute
that could in any way touch jute bagging,
and unless another similar occurrence
should happen we think that the only bag
ging that will be used for good many
years to come will be jute bagging." Others
write as follows: Vicksburg, Miss.-'In
this section OF the cotton belt planters only
use jute bagging as covering for their cot
ton" Houston, Tex-'sThe bulk of the
Texas cotton crop will be baled in jute bag
ging possibly very small percentage will
be cotton baggiDg, but we do not think
the latter will amount to very much
Memphis, Tenn.-'Our merchants are now
contracting for JUICE bagging to be delivered
IN the fall. The price is low, and from all
the information we can get, nothing else
will be used in this district for baling next
seasons crop. The month of May was quite
unfavorable to the growing crop, as was
also the first week in June, and the condi-
ton then was not good: but on the 18th inst.
we had good rain, and since then we have
had warm weather and plenty of moisture,
and in consequence there has been a great
Mobile, Ala-''Present in
dications are that, while small amount of
cotton may be baled in cotton goods Drills,
ducks, etc., and gunny cloth, the great
bulk of the crop, say 80 per cent, will be put
in jute bagging unless some fresh attempt
to advance the price unduly is made in the
renewing the opposition to its
use among farmers" Raleigh, n. C.-''To
the best of our knowledge and information
jute bagging will be generally used in this
section the coming season ;,

The Naughty Little Girl.

She Is cunning, she IL tricky
am greatly grieved to tell,
And her hands are always sticky
With chocolate caramel;
Her dolly's battered features
Tell of many frantic hurl,
She's the terror of her teachers,
That naughty little grill
She dotes upon bananas,
And she smears them on my knees,
And she peppers my Havanas,
And she laughs to hear me sneeze;
And she steals into my study
And she turns my books a-whirl,
And her boots are always muddy
That naughty little grill
When she looks as she were dreaming
OF the angels in the air,
1 know she's only scheming
How to slyly pull my hair;
Yet-why can't discover
Spite of every tangled curl,
She's darling and love her
That naughty little girl!
Home Queen.

A Rush to Sell.

New YORK, July 1S.-The failure of the
English bank of the River Platte was an
nounced in London this morning, and caused
materially lower prices for all kinds of
stocks there Our market felt the effects
of this decline, and while the opening
prices here were above London equivalents,
large fractions were knocked off of the
most active shares. The opportunity to
sell the market down was not to be neg
lected by the bears, however, and they
joined with the frightened sellers in press
ing the market down.
Stocks which have an international mar
ket in the main differed most under the
circumstances, but Burlington and Lacka-
wanna led the downward movement. Prices
in the last few minutes were brought to
about level of those of the opening, and
the market closed firm, though quiet, at a
recovery. The final changes are insignifi-
cant in all cases, being generally losses
