MORE SUGGESTIONS.

GDlIOR DULLETlN:-lt is pain
full to have to admit that cholera
is making strong Roadway in our
midst and that there is such
strong probability of its spread
ing to the other islands. So far,
L believe, almost everything that
could be thought Of, toward stay
ing the plague, has been done by
everyone who reads, thinks, and
reasons. Still a few suggestions
may be offered. The streets in
many parts of the city, have
observed-require sweeping, and
much refuse, such as decayed
fruit, vegetable matter, ETC.,
carried away.
1st. Let the road supervisor
devote all his time and energies
to scavenger work, and the
repairs and making can take a
rest till moro congenial time.
End. Stop all irrigation with
out exception, and sprinkling of
the streets with water should be
abolished for the present. The
reasons are obvious, and need not
be detailed.
3rd. One drugstore, at least,
should be kept open day and night,
much difference of opinion being
among us as to 1.-THE remedies"
The various druggists are all re-
sponsible men, and they might
take this duty in turn.
4th. A liquor saloon should be
placed on the same basis, or at
least all should be allowed to be
open during the regular hours
(under conditions).
5th. Let the pastors of the
churches and all pious women
and children pray for the strong
trade winds, for so many years
our most efficient officer" of
health.
9th. 1t might be considered
advisable to burn sulphur, stock
holm tar, ETC., etc., at night in
what are supposed to be particu-
larry the dangerous places. This
was done in 1881. Smoke and
odors emanating from such sources
are VIGOROUSLY healthful, and
death dealing to poison.
Now utterly refuse and stay the
importation of what is known as
saki. | have taken a good deal
of trouble to look into this So
called wine, and my Investigations
prove, that there is enough
growth in one tub of the liquor to
account for the death of all of us.
A liquor dealer E. WI long in
the business assures me that no
japanese will drink saki without
it being boiled, or as they say
cooked, and l have been told by a
japanese merchant that, without
that process, there are in it poi
son breeders to destroy all human
life, by every blood disease,
whether typhoid fever, stomach
ache or ailment of the bowels,
and l believe the above to be
facts.
Without in any way blaming
anyone. it was a fearful blunder
to locate cholera hospital in its
present position. Anyone know
ing its locality must concede that
it was a blunder, health condi-
tons there being VIGOROUSLY bad.
1t is to be hoped that those
chosen to assist the seniors of
districts have been we'll chosen.
Long residence. knowledge of the
native race, its language and
customs, play large part of our
game of success; and such Gun
undoubtedly procure the most
reliable information for head
quarters. o..
There are no politics now--it is
shoulder to shoulder, and I,
although Withholding my name,
can be called on to perform any
duty-without charge night or
day, for the benefit of my adopt
ed, troubled country.

COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
Port Receipts Are Heavy and Keep
Prices Down.
A VERY LARGE WEEKLY MOVEMENT
Spo' Quotations Lowered NJ New Orleans
and Houston slightly Increased
Activity In Future MAJ ksts.


After considerable fuctuation. mainly
OF downward tendency. the American
cotton markets cloecd today with flu
lures practically at yesterdays figures.
There was more activity at New York
and Now Orleans and sales were larger
than they have been for several days.
The unusually heavy port receipts Ia
the most bearish influence initiating
against the staple just now. Receipts
today were 1876. against Sss0 on the
same day Last year--an increase OF nearly
1000. For the week the ports have re-
oeived es0,ei6 bales. or about 10000 more
than the number expected. Daring the
week corresponding to this IN ise2, when
the crop amounted TO G.Ioo.NN, the ports
received only i61 ggi. An increase at this
time OF 6e5lJ bales is hardly an argumcn,
for repetition of the iSs2-9S yield, though
the bulls contend that the movement juet
now can not be taken as any indication
whatever of the size of the crop.
The entire weekly movement, as re-
ported by Secretary Hester. makes
similar bad showing Tho amount In sis.u
ton the week ending today is $1,000
against $4,000 the corresponding week IN
