In the opinion of the knowing
ones, there is no longer any doubt of
the intention of Mckinley to con-
vene the Fifty-fifth Congress in ex-
traordinary session early after his
Inauguration. Mckinley. it seems,
does not have the same dread of
having Congress ION his hands" as
Mr., Cleveland has manifested.

THE rumor is current that Senator
Faulkner of West Virginia, will re-
sign his seat in the United States
Senate and accept very lucrative
offer as attorney for New York cor
poration. We are sorry to hear that
love of money was stronger with him
than love of country, yet we give
him credit for declining to serve a
corporation in the Senate.

IT is pretty generally accepted
now that Mark Hanna will be
member of the Cabinet as Secretary
of the Treasury. This humiliating
spectacle will be companion piece
to John Wannamaker in the chief
counsels of the nation. Counting
time and effort and money, Mark
may have paid little more for his
place than John, but then he gets a
little better position.

INDEED we are sick of that con-
temptible whine about frauds in
Tennessee elections. And then too,
we are weary of that slush about
the flame and fair name of Ten
nessee," and 1.-The untarnished
escutcheon of the Grand Old State"
etc. Gives us rest, please, and
think and write about something
else. Tennessee is alright, but be-
tween her defamers and defenders
she has much to trouble her. If
there is not absolute purity in our
elections, let those who are without
sin cast the first stone.

Suns Cotton Review.


 ]. New Yock, Jan. 1.-The Suns cotton re. view says: Cotton advanced points, but reacted and declined to points, closing steady, with sales of 126,60O bales
 Today's features: Speculation was mar row and prices closed slightly lower. The interior receipts were little larger at some points than had been expected and the decrease in the interior for the week is not quite so large as had been estimated. little later. But the worst feature was really the dullness of speculation. In spite of that it was at one time higher, but for that 1t would have probably closed higher. The bulls became rather discouraged and let go. This caused moderate decline in the late trading, but the tone at the close was steady. Some of the southern markets are signs of an increasing spot demand here, partly for export. New England mills are inquirng for spot cotton here tonight, as New York Is now the cheapest market. The estimated receipts at Houston and New Orleans tomorrow are small. The quantity brought into sight this week was about what the bulls had expected. The exports from the ports today reached the aggrc- gate of 55.2i4 bales. Liverpool bought spring for the bears they were anything but az gressive. There is said, however. to be quite an extensive short interest here. If the receipts do not increase 1t is believed that both Europe and New England will buy spot cotton on a much larger scale, and thus give the market the best kind of a speculative rise. That the crop is not above 7,oOo, 900 bales and possibly not more 65O0. 900 bales, and that the consumption will be large and prices ultimately much better than now, are fundamental axioms of the bulls

The early trading, whilst at firm prices, was without any particular features, and was succeeded by a reaction, which lulled the shorts into a feeling of security, but one of excitement. From the lowest to the highest point there was a range of BOG on pork, and several large lines of short prop erty~were covered. The run of hogs at the yards was light and an advance in prices for them took place. At the close May pork was 25c higher than yesterday May lard 7Ac higher and May ribs 10c higher.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter,

New York, Jan. H-(Special )-The port receipts today were very light. but the in terior movement was larger than had been counted upon. March opened at 794 de- clined to 7.90, rallied to 7.96, and lost the improvement, closing at 7.S9 bid. with the tone steady. The port receipts for next week are estimated at 100000 bales against 71,OOO bales in 1893, with which year shrewd traders are now comparing the present movement. The prevailing feeling here con- tnues bearish, though the bulls still claim that there will be none too much cotton to supply the spindles of the world until the new crop comes in. It all depends upon whether the present crop yields 6,500 000 or 7,250,0 bales.

The gains in these varied from A to 19s per cent As the day advanced the street seemed to have renewed apprehension as to the effect upon the local money. market of the prospective payments for the new government loan.
