Some London Buying.
Special to the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
New York, July 24-To-day's stock mar
ket opened weak, although there was some
buying of St Paul, Louisville and Union
Pacific by London.
st. Paul's earning for the third week in
July showed an increase of $50, 113.
The attack on Burlington and Quincy was
continued with vigor. That was the only
active stock of the day, and the price de-
clined materially. The impression seems to
be going that Burlington will sell down to
or near the prices of Rock Island and Mis-
souri, Pacific, both of which pay the same
dividend and share to Il large extent the
same conditions.
Missouri Pacific was one of the weak
stocks.
The corn crop, on which the Burlington
so largely depends, is still in an uncertain
state.
Lackawanna and Burlington We're very
weak in the afternoon. Closing prices

Ter at net loss of 4-64 on the day No
news has reached US yet of what decision
the spinners' meeting might have arrived
at, fit were held, but the steadier feeling
of Liverpool would seem to indicate the
probability of no action having been taken
looking towards the reduction of wages of
mill hands.
The weakness of our markets is best
shown by the decline of to-day. Liverpool
really lost on the advance of yesterday, but
our markets declined to-day several points
below the figures previously touched. We
learn, however, that there is better un-
dertone in New York this afternoon, the
result of the elimination of a large portion
of the weak long element and of belief
that August tenders will be better cared
for than was generally expected.
The army worm has made its appearance

The Growing Rice Crop.

The mid-monthly bulletin of Dan Tai
mage's Sons, New York, respecting the
growing rice crop, states:
North Carolina-River crops in fine con-
dition, free from grass, with unusually fine
stand" Upland, only fair average; re-
cent rains have improved them materially.
General outlook more favorable than last
year. South Carolina-In the Georgetown
section, watered by the Waccamaw, Peedee
and Santee rivers, crops in excellent condi-
ton, but less forward than usual. Cooper
river reported '.salt,'' which will result in
considerable damage if no heavy rains come
within the next thirty days. On the Ashe-
poo and Pom Pom scarcity of labor has al
lowed crops to become grassy" Reports
from the Combahee note good average
crop, well grown, and everything in the
main favorable. Upland crops in good con-
dition, with plenty of back water stored for
harvest flow when needed. First receipts
will likely be from uplands. Georgia-The
acreage not as large as last year. Present
outlook promises larger yield per acre and
equal crop. As before noted, on the Savan-
nah river over three-quarters of the crop
was planted late, and was stunted
by cold. The present favorable
growing weather, however. has
pushed the plant forward rapidly;
harvest will be delayed but a few weeks.
Louisiana-During past two weeks; de-
clueQ cndnge IOr the DetIef Is fepofteu iroiH
this state, and the most encouraging ad
vices are received from all sections. The
frequent rains have revived crops, which
were on the point Of being abandoned, and
the rise in the Mississippi and bayous trlb-
utary has reduced the labor of pumping.
Late rice is growing rapidly, and under the
influence of the present favorable condi-
lions the harvest will only be a few weeks
late. In Calcasieu region, where large
acreage in excess of lastyear was planted,
considerable loss has occurred by the long
continued drouth; otherwise the crop is
doing finely and production well up to the
average. Looking over the whole field,
prospects are Encouraging for a crop
equal to last year in quantity, but aver

The Mexican Lottery.

City Misunderstanding the activity OF
many of its shareholders on the AntiLottery
side of our local contest, their liberal eontribu'
tions to that moral cause, and the very large
stake the company has in the destruction OF
the Louisiana Lottery, the above named alien
concern does not attract the attention in
the canvass that might quito naturally be ex'
peSed.
The Ants generally lot it severely alone,
except when some formal occasion like Lafay-
cite Office dieker arises that renders it neces-
sary, for strictly moral reasons, to denounce
all lotteries. The Pros occasionally REMARK
on the prominence which supporters of the
Mexican take in the crusade against the
home institution; but, on the whole, This cor
p0ration, which divides its profits with the
Mexican government, if considered a %"sinful,"
gambling game at all, receives most kindly
consideration in its wickedness and only the
miidest rebukes for "interferenee in our politi.

Yet the Mexican Lottery for Benefieencia)
company carries on its business as openly as
though it we're q lawful institution, instead Of
one denounced by our courts as illegal, as
boldly as though it paid a license to State and
city, instead of operating in defiance of their
laws. Tho Mexican" tickets are peddled in
our streets and sold in well known Offices, the
lists of its drawings are circulated and the
numbers winning the principal prizes are
posted at the Stock Exchange. At this promi-
nent institution, too, Mexican Lottery shares,
common and preferred, are 'tcalledn daily, and
its bonds also are dealt in.
The ITEM merely mentions these as sug ges-
tive facts, q queer phase of the ''moralp anti
lottery fight. Does any we'll informed person
believe that defeating the revenue amend
ment which promises such incaleuIable bone
fits to our city and State will put a stop to
this Mexican game2 Can any one doubt that
defeating the home company, and rejecting
its enormous tribute for essential public purpo-
ses, will have any other effect than TO enlarge
