COTTON.

which we have taken from the
weekly circular of Messrs Price,
McCormic & Co., of New York,
which we believe will be of inter-
est to the cotton planter and the
public in general, as it shows
firm improvement in the cotton
market with tendency to improve
all other branches of trade:
The week has been the most ac-
tive we have had in Cotton for
nearly three years, or since the
speculation of the Autumn of 1892
when the smallness of the crop OF
1928 began to be realized.
Prices have advanced sharply,
and at the close this evening are
within about seven points of the
top. The market has had the
personal support of one OF the
old-time leaders, hitherto invinci-
BILE in the field, and we can hard
" do better than to quote his
views as expressed to us to-day.
His name, as those Of our friends
familiar with the cotton trade may
conjecture, is Mr.. John H. 1nman.
He says that He is a bull ON
the cotton market and believer
in high prices" In support OF
his views he points out that the
crop of 1S94-95, which was plan
ted and raised under the most IA
vorable conditions possible, will
amount to, as generally estimated,
about 9.75O,OOO bales. Mr.. Inman
points to the fact that the crop of
1893-94, the acreage of which was
very little from the year follow
ing, amounted to more than 2,OOO,-
1000 bales less than the phenome-
nal crop of last year. Arguing
from such conditions as the alrea-
dy backward season, the condition
of the soil, the reduced profits of
the planters, the small purchases
of fertilizers and the largely re-
duced purchases of mules, all of
which are straws which point in
the same direction, Mr.. Inman
considers that the crop of 1895
will fall very materially below
. that of 1893-94 While the Amer
can spinners and those of the Con-
{ tinent of Europe seem to be we'll
supplied with cotton, the active
demand from Manchester and the
large sales of spot cotton in Liver
, pool show that a very contrary
condition exists in the English
market, and the buying from that
quarter has undoubtedly been the
chief motive in starting the pre-.
E sent advance. Moreover, it is now
! generally conceded, Mr.. lnman
, thinks, that the very low range OF
, quotations established prior to
the present movement in cotton,
would never have been made but
! for the worldwide depression in
, trade which has been so accentua-
, ted in this country the last Is
p months. .-
We can hardly improve upon
this statement Of the situation ex-
o cept to add that the advance in
: cotton seems to have created q
4 decidedly better feeling in the
o stock market, which is gradually
extending itself to all the depart.
ments of speculation, and as il
o progresses we think each market
= is in turn likely to react upon the
other, and so give cumulative
power to the advancing tendency

Yielding to the urgent demands of its Con-
sumers fer more abundant supply OF purer
water. the Directors of the Annapolis Water
Company have. within the past year. greatly
enlarged and improved the plant of the Com
pany. The improvement consists of paving
the hitherto unpaved reservoir, the enlarge
ment comprises the erection OF new pump
with daily capacity of one and a half million
gallons, and the laying of new supply
pipe from the reservoirs to Church Gre e..
having u diameter of Il inches; so that the
delivery capacity at the latter point has been
increased from one million 10 three million
gallons daily. In addition to these better
ments contracts are now being prepared for
the construction of an impcunding dam at
the pumping station which will have storage
capacity ofabout twenty million gallons,
Necessarily these improvements have in
VOWED the expenditure of large sum OF
money. aggregating about forty iiNe thnus
and dollars. In order TO meet this outlay tNc
Water Company has issued thirty five thous-
and dollars worth OF Bonds; leaving a floating
debt of about ten thousand dollars.
For tho purpose of extinguishing this float
ing debt the BOARD of Directors have been
obliged to increase for the period of one year

RECENT u,fseD STATES HISTORY.

1t is astonishing how rapidly events
travel IN the United States. President
Il. b. Andrews 81 l'rownC University has
commenced IN seribner' 5 Magazine a
history Of tie United States for the last
% wears. Tie story takes up the thread
of narration at the close of the recon-
struction period in the south. The large
events that happened few years ago
are shown by the things treated in these
opening chapters. We are surprised
that they are SO many, and we have
taken TO little note Of them. Among
the topics are the following Growth
of Urban Population, "The Chicago
Fire, "Downfall of the Tweed Ring,
ssThe Ku Klux Khan, . 1.-THE Alabama
Claims and "Black Friday"
We have scarcely realized until Pres
ident Andrews calls attention to il that
the great growth Of our city population
Ias come since the war. The beautiful
and artistic sub&rbs surrounding our
large cities are recent growths, too, and
they awe their existence 10 the iiyen-
ton of the street car. Now more than
ever they will increase, since the teolley
is operating all over the country.
Most picturesque is the description OF
the Chicago fire. DR.. Andrews recalls
to the reader how the first morning
after the fire real estate dealer knock
cd together frame shanty and nailed
across it this sign, civilian ID. Kerfoot,
all gjne but wife, children and energy.
The Sunday after the fire Robert Collyer
preached to his congregation standing
upon the ashes that marked the spot
where his church had been.
Among the illustrations to the article
gre various portraits AID caricatures of
% years ago. 1t brings up with sharp
turn one who remembers a quarter of a
century back to see how old timey these
pictures look already. There is in the
collection "A genuine picture Of Boss
Tweed, which Will be the only likeness
except numerous caricatures which
many persons have seem One is rather
taken aback to see how strong a general
resemblance this authentic portrait of
William Nj. Tweed bears TO some of our
American senators and statesmen of the
present day. There, too, is the strong,
melancholy face of Frederick Douglass.
At the time these papers were Wi,
the indomitable old nan was yet with
the living. a conference of Douglas
with President Grant is mentioned 10y

THESE are hard times in America. 1t
has been suggested thai the patriotic
owners of great sugar and other planta-
tons in Hawaii import Americans in-
stead of Portuguese and ,Japs for agri-
cultural work. Intelligent American
citizens can stand the climate and the
labor admirably. A quiet movement of
Americans to Hawaii would knit closer
that republic and this. 1t would in time
weed out the Japs and Portuguese tiat
now constitute the element most threat
ening to the safety and permanency of
the Hawaiian government.

DECIDED OBJECTION TO SAN FRAN
CIsco.-It seems that San Francisco's
liberal offer for the National Republi-
can Convention has met with very de-
cided objections, at least from one
quarter. Gen. Chas. III. Grosvenor,
member OF Congress from Ohio, says
to an interviewer: The offer of San
Francisco to pay hotel bills OF delegates
is OF the nature of bribe. He says
the expenses to delegates going TO that
city will be $l,25O,O00 more than it
would be were the convention held
east OF the Rockies. Besides, he said,
it would accommodate so delegates Of
the Pacific coast at the great expense
of upwards OF 100 delegates of the
Central and Eastern parts of the
United States. He therefore suggests
that in case San Francisco is selected
the delegates in all the States should
meet in their respective States and
veto the action OF the committee by
selecting some suitable place for the
convention.
