Tho last day OF 1895 WAS made memor-'

English spinners are practically bare OF

To the recent scare In financial circles.

were very large. but Il is generally
thought that this heavy movement has
about reached its limit. and that there
is very little cotton now left in the
country.
New York futures opened quiet and

quotations were 10 to 10 points up. The

MAY BE A SOAP WAR.

MAY BE A SOAP WAR.
A large manufacturer of soap in Gin
clnnati has announced a reduction Of Is
to 10 cents per box on nearly all the
staple brands, and 1t is expected that this
acton will precipitate a general decline
of soaps of other makes. The New York
Price-Current thinks the lower range of
prices may prove OF great benefit in the
end by discouraging the gift enterprises.
Tho presentation of chromos and other
cheap stuff to cen umers has demorsil-
lied the trade and become Il great nuts
ance in households. This side issue is
worn out and has to givs place to some
thing new, The next novelty promises to
be low prices and the survival of the fit
test. The public can be humbugged part
of the time but not all of the time with
second class gifts.
TEXAS EGGS IN NEW YORK
Some of the commission merchants OF
Houston are beginning to ship eggs to
New York where the demand is quite
active at this time of the year. Il. e.
Jones sent over 1000 cases to that eli y
last year and expects to double the
number this winter. This shows the i'm
portance of the poultry Industry in this
state. and the farmers should secure a

for the hens of that section to fuhll the
demand made upon them for eggs; con-
reuuRntlY utdleTS expect the southern
hens to supply the deficiency.
