What Does This Mean?
LIvRRPoo1, Jan. Is, 1895

LIVERPOOL, Jan. Is, 1896.
Dear Sir-Since our letter of the
18th of December in which we re-
ferred to the continued selling of
new crops, there has been q further
decline, and cotton for 1856 is
selling here on a basis of about 4c
on plantations in America. The
sellers of these positions are very
aggressive, and, reports being cur
rent that another large crop will be
planted, feel confident that they
will be enabled to repurchase their
present sales at a profit of cent
or more. In other words, they ex-
pect that farmers will be ready to
part with the next crop at three
cents and below. OF course, there
is little or no doubt that If it is
left to Liverpool merchants and
Manchester spinners, prices will
rule very low, and it would be un-i
fortunate if we should get another
enormous crop; even eight million
bales would he great deal too
large for the worlds requirements
when we consider that the English
spinner is by no means in a good
position, although the Continental
trade conditions { France, Germany
Austria and Russia we beg to say,
are fairly favorable. Very truly,
BEER, COwELL & Co.
The purport of the above letter
is obscure to our vision, and we
give it for what it is worth. If it
is intended as a whip to spur our
farmers into adopting the Is per
cent decrease in the acreage of
cotton, it is certainly strong rea-
son for the acreage reduction to be
severely adhered to. On the other
hand, it may be intended by the
wiley cotton spectators of Lon
don and Liverpool, to have exactly
the opposite effect. The Ameri-
can may be expected to bite, and
As he nibbles, exclaim, "Aha! those
cute Englishmen want us to plant |
less cotton, do they? Then they !
will get better prices on their cot
ton investments in Egypt and In
1ia. Oh, yes; l see, l seer Then
the Americans will go off and
plant big crop, and win get 8
'ents for it, and then do some more

The Burial of Bratlen.

Pollock, La, Jan. q, 1895.
Editor Collar Ckrowicie:
notice in the last issue of the CHRoN.
ICLE that complaint was brought TO your
Office that the grave Ut James Braden, the
man who was killed several weeks since
in this community, was not we'll cared
for, and that be (BradeD) was hardly
properly buried, considering the means
he left for such kindly Office.
We are at a loss and cannot compre-
bend the object OF the person making
such totally false statements. II it is in
tended to cast reflection upon me as adj
ministrator, or upon the community at
large, / will, for the benefit of all decent
people, make the following statement:
Said Braden was killed on the I'd of
October last, supposed to be about D. m.
On October Sd Mr.. W. H. Smith sent to
Alexandria for coffin, for which paid
S31 20. This was done at the suggestion
Of John Cooks wife, who had left her
husband and was living with Braden.
Mrs. Cook selected the spot on the
premises for the grave. The good citi-
zens Whereabouts buried Braden's corpse
just the same as other people are buried
in this locality, and We are at loss to
locate the object of these statements.
There were but two families in the
community that gave Braden and Mrs.
Cook who was living with Braden any
recognition, or who professed any friend
ship for them, and neither OF those par
ties assisted in the unpleasant task of
buryiDg the corpse on the 4th day Of Oc-
tober last, after the body had been view
ed by the coroner's jury.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I must ask that you
give the names OF the parties bringing
the complaint to your Office. Our people
are indignant, and it Is but justice that
you should name to the public the par
ties bringing such false complaint.
J.C. WARD,
Admir- Jas. Braden Succession.
In reply to the above we would state
that it was Mr.. John Irwin who made the
statement referred to. Upon our object
ing that it was rather serious charge to
make without ample evidence, he said he
had seen and heard enough to know that
there was palpable neglect in the matter,
and he was responsible and wanted the
fact made public. Now, we cannot say
what complainant saw or heard, and, as
he is at this time out Of the parish, we
have not the opportunity to inquire and
state 10 this issue. From q talk with his
father, Mr.. w. d. Irwin, and others who
only have casual knowledge OF the cir
cumstances, we are Of the opinion that
the grave Of Braden being little bit ex-
posed, the cattle. as is frequently the
case, may have dis6gured the mound, or
the late rains may have caused the grave
to sink, and the young and vivid imagi-
nation Of our informant may have become
somewhat exaggerated thereby. Ed
