Hill, FOntaine & Co.'S Crop Report.

MEMPHIs, Tenn, Aug. 20.-The reg
ular monthly cotton crop report for
the Memphis district which embraces
West Tennessee, North Mississippi,
North Arkansas and North Alabama to
be issued tomorrow by Hill, Fontaine
Il Co., will say:
Under the beneficial influence of fa-
vorable weather crop prospects may
improve somewhat. A majority of our
correspondents report the weather dur
ing August as having been favorable
for cotton, but taking the season as q
whole, pa out of the total of 372, report
it less favorable than last year. The
plant is making progress and while the
average of replies Indicates that the
season is fully eighteen days late,
majority report tho plant as fruiting
we'll and retaining its squares and
hollis. There is general complaint,
however, in all the four States of she'd
ding, due to excessive rains in some
localities and drouth in others. There
are also reports of worms in MISSISSIPPI
pi and rust in all the States. The con-
dition of crops as summarized is only
fair and not up to an average. Two
hundred and eighty-four of the total
report them much less promising than
at this date last year, and 202 report
damage from various causes to u great
er Or less extent. Pickings will not
commence in any of the four states ear
lier than September 18th, and will not
become general until towards the close
of the month, and in many sections
will be delayed until the middle Of
October. Tho corn crop is in better
condition than cotton, and on account
of the large increase in acreage, the
yield of this cereal promises to be
more than ample for home demand.

THE COTTON CROP,
Middling Wort, Only $35 Per Bale ut st
Louis
Eastern Manufacturers are Making all the
Money.

Mr.. Jerome Fontainc, OF the we'll
known firm Of Hill, Fontaino e. Co.,
makes the following strong statement
in q recent report issued by his house
lat ST. Louis:
1.-Two years ago to-day bale of mid
ding cotton was worth in ST. Louis
$3.50. To-day it is only worth $50. A
crop of S,0OO,000 bales at values as then
would have netted the South $460. .00O,-
600. The same crop at to-day's values
would only be worth 2S0,0OO,OOO, Or
saya shrinkagc of $3.50, 100000. This
enormous decline in the value of one of
Americas (almost exc,usive) greatest
export products has passed beyond
consideration as a matter Of interest
alone to the South, but is u national
calamity, and is causing serious thought
by dealers in all products in CONNER
cial centers. For unless there is q re-
instatement of values, the entire coun-
try will suffer and only foreigners will
reap the benefit from the Southern
planters misfortune, and a few protec-
ted industries in the East; for we have
no like decline in manufactured cotton
goods in the country, and the following
dispatch copied from the Associated
Press, speaks for itself on this subject:
FALL RIVER, MASS, Aug. a.
Published returns from the mills here
for the past quarter show that they are
now enjoying the most prosperous sea-
son ever known in cotton manufacture
ing in Fall River. Thirty-one corpo-
rations, representing forty-six mills,
have paid dividends of $53S,SSO on a
capital of S1S, ,123,OOO. The total div
idends paid for the corresponding quar-
ter Of last year, amounted to $233, ,250.
The above shows the manufacturers
(if this statement is correct) have in
creased their profits over 100 per cent,
while the produceris not receiving over
two-thirds of the value obtained for his
cotton in 1890 and there has been no
reduction in the cost of production Of
cotton,

Not So Bright After All.

The fat man entered Broadway car
on rainy day, beaming as usual. The
seats were nearly filed, and when he sat
down he spread discomfort on both sides
of him, but he still beamed. Suddenly
an idea struck him.
"Ah, a good trick" he said, besming
at the young man beside him and arts
ing. He placed his dripping umbrella
behind his seat in the space into which
the window is lowered.
"You see it's out of the way and does
not get you wet, he went on, half solilo-
quizing and half addressing the young
man.
When Twenty-seventh street was
reached the fat man got ont, forgetting
his umbrella. The rained had stopped
and he was not reminded of his loss.
When he got home his wife greeted him
with: "Of course you've lost your UNI.
brella again. told you you would this
morning"
The man studied awhile, and then il
occurred to him that his idea of slowing
the umbrella in the car wasn't so bril-
liant after all.-New York Tribune.

1t is said of Thanksgiving that it has
its foundation upon Plymouth rock.
When the exiled English Pilgrims
landed on the bleak New England
coast they devoutly gave thanks to
God for preserving them from the
perils of the deep and giving them an
opportunity to found a free and indie
pendent community in the new world.
Ever since that day the people of this
great land have had far more abundant
cause for thanksgiving than the people
of any other nation or country on the
globe. The blessings of liberty, peace
and prosperity are ours and for them
thanks are due to the great Giver of all
good and perfect gifts.

New York is a copper globe in the Lenox
library. 1t is only Az inches in di-
ameter. but it is believed to be the
earliest globe to lay down the new dis
coveries by Columbus. 1t dates back
to the first decade of the Sixteenth CEN

1t is to be hoped that the action ofthe
city council in ordering the marshal to
enforce the ordinance limiting the speed
of street ears within the city limits to
ten miles an hour will bear fruit. The
company has paid no attention what
ever to notices which have previously
been served upon it and the cars con-
tinue to rush along the principal streets
at the rate of at least twenty-miles an
hour in places. 1t is not alleged that
any car actually covers distance OF
twenty miles in single hour, but II Is
a matter of common remark that that
rate of speed is quite regularly main

is far too poor to absolve the company

are not to blame. They do not estao

rectly upon the management OF TN

she was spry and could see and hear
well, and whether it flattered her to be
told that she looked twenty years
younger than her real age. Because if
she was blind, deaf, bent double, far

After all the time there was to make
ready for the visitation of cholera, which
was morally certain in the great seaport
of this country, the plague found the
port of New York not ready for it. There
was no place on land on which to quar-
antine passengers from the infected
steamers; consequently they were kept on
board, with some of their fellow passen-
gers being ever and anon attacked with
cholera. It is possible, indeed probable,
that some of the immigrants that were
stricken with the plague on shipboard
in New York harbor would have escaped
had they been taken off the vessel to a
comfortable quarantine camp imme-
diately on their arrival. Now, however,
the warning note has been sounded. II
the country has not been thoroughly
cleaned up and rigid sanitary regulations
are not established everywhere before
the coming of warm weather next year
then there will be criminal carelessness
