Western receipts were only 1.9i5oOO bushels and
for the last five months Of 1893 only 102 900 900
bushels against l57 100000 last year; but the
stock in sight according to "Bradstreets" Is
10000 900 bushels, against ll6OCoOoO year ago.
with 100000 bushels, the maximum for four
previous years Hence it is not strange that
tho average price at New-York during the last
half OF 1893 the lowest ever recorded for any
half year, only 80 cents. Both receipts and ex-
ports Of corn are far ahead OF last years. and
the price advanced about n cent.
The situation as to cotton grows more re-
markable daily. Last week the price was lifted
quarter or q cent, althOuBI receipts from
plantations were 61 $40 bales against 120,76G last
year. with only 1900 bales increase in exports
and 1000 bales decrease in takings Of Northern
splnners. For tho crop year thus far 5,5S2, AIS
bales have come into sight, that II the crop
is no more than 6.6O0OOO bales, as some assert.
only 1,OI7 522 have yet to come forward in eight
months. whereas last year 1850 9S6 came for
ward IN the same time. Stocks are larger by
$4,000 bales in this country than a year ago,
ard larger by $1,000 bales abroad How oi!icia!
and other estimates can be credited in the face
of these facts II is difficult to say. but some
people evidently are buying cotton on faith in
them.

can be educated 10 become lawyers or have facih-
ties for a thorough study of the Constitution II ID
highly desirable that future leaders OF this race.
numbering now than eight millions in this
country should have such opportunities somewhere
and that they should not be compelled TO go Nortn
for the purpose.
This school has good building, known as "EvarU
Hail. which is due largely to the generosity OF MI
Charles r. Huntington and Mr.. William NJ. Evarts.
But the library is sadly deficient. hardly large
enough for young lawyer beginning practice II
any generous person would make gift OF
money TO endow the library, or II any per-
son possessing duplicate law books or any per-
son having a law library which he does not
desire TO use. would send either TO the Law

There is no doubt that the fact which
is giving the Democratic Campaign Com
mittee its greatest present concern is the
speech of Chairman Wilson of the Ways
and Means Committee at the reception
given in his honor by the London Cham
Der of Commerce. That speech is await
ed with very great interest by the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, says a
Washington correspondent, and will be
given wide circulation not only in Mr..
Wilson's own district, but throughout
the country. The Democratic leaders
admit privately that they are greatly
surprised that Chairman Wilson should
have made such public advertisement of
the fact that he is working in the inter-
est of the free traders of England, and
that he admits that his policy is already
opening the mills of England, while it is
closing them in this country. One of the
facts which will confront him upon his
return is that, while he has been ban
quoted by the free traders of London,
who have thanked him for his labors in
their behalf, the earnings of the coal mi
ners in his district have been greatly cur
tailed at the mere threat of free coal, and
at the reduced reduction of duty.

GENERAL NOTES.

"A Populist ticket in New York
stands considerably less chance of be ing
elected than it does of being struck by
lightning, but it ought to afford a wei
come refuge to disgusted Democrats who
otherwise would have taken to the woods.
Probably about every subject in
ethics, sports and science has been treat
ed at one time or another, from the pull
pit. But it remained for a Baltimore
enthusiast to wax eloquent over "Win-
ming the Pennant," referring to the sue
cessful close of the base ball season.
The poor workingman will now save
at the rate of a cent pound on the
ounce of tin in his 15-cent dinner pail,
even though he has no work to which to
carry it, and has to pay cent pound
more for his sugar.
President Cleveland need not feel
discounted because his famous letters TO
Wilson and Catchings have been cut out
of the Democratic campaign book. The
Republicans will see that they are given
sufficient circulation.
Chairman Wilson's speech at the
free trade dinner in his honor in London
on Thursday evening was carefully pre-
pared beforehand and sent to this country
several hours in advance of its delivery.
The chief use of Mr.. Wilson's address
will be as Republican document in the
present campaign.
No humane person can contemplate
the present predicament of the mournful
MugwumpS without experiencing thrill
of sympathy for those unfortunate crea-
lures. They were never so poorly pro-
vided for cold weather, and the prospects
of hard winter were never so alarming.

Mr.. Edmunds then went on to allude
to the silver question, and to discuss it's
bearing on the political situation. He
hoped, if there was really silver lining

the last two years, that it was on a diff
ferent ratio from 16 to l. Laughter. !
BE believed it was, but they must look
the truth squarely in the face. 1t would

could regain control of the House of
Representatives. They were entitled to
regain it, because the great body of peo-
pie of all States were for it.
