WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.

New York, Jan. pa decline during
the week Of some 20 points, although fol-
lowed by a reaction this afternoon, so
that the net decline is comparatively
small, is the natural result of an inc
crease in the crop movement during the
third week in January.
For many weeks past it has been con-
sidered that when the movement Of the
crop increased in the last week but one
in January it indicated larger crop than
the trade had anticipated. Therefore
the movement this week has created 4
feeling of encouragement us pointing to
the possibility of the trade having to han
die Il larger crop than 100000 bales at
a time when trade condition or rather
lack of speculation threw the entire
weight of the crop upon the cotton trade.
AS these receipts of cotton increased
mt time when the decline in the wheat
market indicated the result of an exhaust
ed speculation, it was assumed that it
would be likely that those who have for
some time past maintained their position
in cotton would be apt TO part with their
holdings. as indeed some of them have.
Nevertheless there is at all times present
in the market an investment demand for
parties who, realizing that cotton is i'm

APPLIES TO TAYLOR.
That Aldermanic Decision Places Taylor
in a Peculiar Predicament.

That Aldermanic Decision Places Taylor
in a Peculiar Predicament.
Taylor, Jan. 29.-(Special. 1.-The opin-
ion of the attorney general, as rendered
on the 26th inst, and published in The
Statesman of January 9th, giving his
Interpretation of the aldermanic election
law as it applies TO the City of Temple,
is also applicable to the City Of Taylor,
as this city was Incorporated under the
same law. The attorney general rules
that "All laws providing for the election
of aldermen by wards under the general
laws for cities and towns under 10000
population were unconstitutional and in
conflict with section 3, article 6, of the
state constitution, which provides that
the qualified electors shall have the right
to vote for mayor and all other elective
officers"
The City of Taylor having been divided
into three wards, at the municipal cleo
ton held here last April six aldermen
were elected, two from each of the three
wards. Qualified electors living in one
ward were not permitted to vote for the
aldermen in other wards.
This new board since its induction into
office has made contracts, granted fran
chises, made appointments, floated bonds,
etc, as though constitutionally elected,
and the question which now puzzles the
minds of the people of Taylor is, "Are
these acts legal and bindingW "Are or
dinances enacted since the new board
inception in force and effect?" In other
words, where are we at?
1t is the opinion of eminent legal talent
of Taylor that the present board of al
dermen are usurpers, or officers de fac
to, that officers de jure can only be elect
ed according to the constitution of the
state.
Such being the case, can the present
board by its enactments, continue the
collection of taxes, fines, costs, ETC., and
continue to make contracts, grant fran
chises, issue scrip, float bonds, etc. If
not, what are we going to do about those
already thus Illegally issued or floated?

TO COTTON GROWERS.
A Circular That Should Open the Eyes
of Southern Farmers.

of Southern Farmers
New Orleans, Jan. 29.-Hon. Hector
d. Lane, of Alabama, president of the
American Cotton Growers Protective
association has furnished the following
significant memorandum for publication
to the people of the South. 1t goes with
out saying that if anything like 3 cent
cotton on plantation is witnessed next
year, q general crash will ensue. Real
estate and securities of all kinds will
reach such level in the South as few can
imagine:
European spectators are today sell
ing cots in Liverpool for delivery in
October, November, December, 1895
with a price eI lvalent to about cents
on farm in the South for middling or 8
cents at til ports, believing that an
other 100000 or larger crop will be
grown in America, would insure them a
profit of at least cent per pound, which
would mean to the farmer about cents
at railroad stations, " autumn, when
cotton is moving in large volumes. 1t Is
not to be supposed that these shrewd
European cotton people are aggressively
selling the next crop at equal to cents
unless they have excellent reasons for
believing that the South W II plant for
ano'her monster crop.
They are confident on information fur
nished them that Texas will not decrease
it's acreage; therefore, believing this to
be true to such an extent that they will
be able to buy back during next fall, the
cotton they are selling at much lower
prices, realizing thereby handsome pro-
fits.
1T remains with the farmers and mer-
chants of the South to say whether these
European spectators will be permitted
to reap a golden harvest at the expense
of the farmers, planters, town real estate
and securities of the South"

SUFFERING In THE STRIP"
settlers i'm the New Territory in Need
of Clothing and Shoes.

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-According to advices
received by the Congregational Home Mis-
sionary Society, the circle of suffering in
parts of the West is widening. 1t includes
the Cherokee Strip in Oklahoma, which was
opened for settlement year ago. The
country is emphatically new. The mission
aries of the congregational Home Mis-
sionary Society, in forwarding special cor
respondence relating to the situation, state
that there is special need of clothing. With
the thermometer below zero, there were
thirteen men at a religious service who
wore no overcoats and were known not to
own one. Some of the women were with
out wraps of any kind. A mother and
daughter alternately wore the same pair of
shoes. Women have been found barefoot
at home not possessing any kind of an old
shoe. One home missionary writes as fol-
lows:
II have no means whatever. We have no
members who are able to do anything. Out
of my limited amount of $125 per quarter,

families to keep them from absolute suf-
tering, but can't do anything more I
think the strip which is only year old,
will be in much better condition in another
year. as st the people will raise considerable
but will help. A meeting has been held to
petition Congress for help, but We can't
