Cotton Letter.
New York, March 12.-(Special. Liver
pool was not strong enough to sustain
prices in our market today. May opened at
7.56, declined to 7.53. rallied to 7.5S and then
broke badly in the last hour, May touching
746 and closing at IN bid, with the tone
easy. The decline was accelerated by the
execution of numerous stop loss orders, and
the general feeling this afternoon is that
we shall be lower tomorrow. The receipts
are light, but day by day the movement of
the present crop seems to attract less at
tention. Everybody is thinking and talking
about the prospects of the next one.

Special to the Register.
Columbus, Ohio, February 6.-Hon.
c. C. Mcbride, of Richland county,
will introduce a bill in the House of
Representatives which is designed to
increase the revenues of the State.
The bill will provide, in brief, that a
tax be placed upon all the delers in
tobacco, both wholesale and retail, in
the State. The principle is the same
as that of the Dow Liquor tax. The
bill, as drawn. will tax each retailer
$40 and the wholesale dealers $25 per
year.
The trainers of the bill estimate that
there are not fewer than $4,000 places
in the State where tobacco is retailed.
This includes the $4,000 or 1900 sa-
looms in the State, in most of which
tobacco is sold; also the drug stores,
fruit stands. news dealers and the re-
gular retail dealers. The plan is to
catch every one of these dealers.
There are also about 300 wholesale
dealers. It is expected that the total
amount that would be raised by means
of this bill would be in the neighbor-
hood of $500. 900.
