weekly Market Revievv.

Cotton-The market has been dull, with
declining tendency, the close showing
a net loss for the week of about IA
points. The weakness was due chiefly to
an easier market in Europe and bad state
of finances in New York. No doubt some
influence also came from the talk about
a heavy increase in the projected acreage,
based on reports of large sales of ferti-
lizers and vague rumors. The movement
has been mostly in line with bullish pre-
dtctions, as the amount coming into
sight for the week is only 142, 600 bales,
against 214000 last year and 10000 in 1898.
1t thereby seems that we have at length
gotten down to a parity in movement with
the 500 900 bale year. We are now about
10000 bales in sight ahead of that year
$685. and almost beyond a doubt the
spring and summer movement this year
will be materially smaller than it was
then. These figures do not justify the
New York belief that the crop is over
1900 OG0 a belief which, real or assumed,
has had much to do with the present
heavy condition of the market. Possibly
the bears are now realizing the TACT that
they will have to put down their crop es-
Inmates a peg or two and are now try
ing to switch off the argument or to an
expected monster crop next season,
proceeding which must be allowed is rath-
err premature. We can stand a crop of
about S,0O0,0O0 bales next year, without,
probably, any decline, but that amount
can be produced, seasons permitting,
without any increase over last years
acreage. But a crop of 100000 bales or
more next year, with presidential cleo
ton, financial disturbances, and posi-
bly, war in Europe would be an unmiti-
gated calamity to the country In this
regard a material drop in the price dur
ing the next month or two would be
blessing in disguise. In all events, the
planter should not adopt bullish view
of next years outlook.
Wheat-The market has been firm and
higher closing at an advance of 115c for
the week. chiefly on free purchases for
EXPORT but no doubt directly stimulated
nv the decided strength in provisions.
The fact that the excess of the crop was
entirely in our section, the two or three
leading spring wheat states, results in
the surplus coming in sight more prompt
Nv than if it were more widely distrib-
nted. The scarcity of wheat throughout
the much larger part of the country is
going to make itself very apparent, and
sunpiies will have to be drawn from the
northwest, which will have by no means
anv too much. Bad finances and a lull
in exports may cause breaks and sharp
ones. but wheat looks like good property

ern markets After a reaction on Satur-
dav due to realizing sales, pork closed

The news of Bishop Haygood's death is
sad but not unexpected among knowing

so robust in body as TO apparently defy

leave much hope for recovery.
But the strong man has fallen in his
very prime like a mighty oak in vernal
foliage shivered by lightning.
He was, all things considered, the most
gifted man of southern Methodism-the
ablest preacher and platform orator
among his colleagues. He was the au-

His father was not a man of distinction,

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

New York, Jan. 1S.-There is every indi-
cation that the subscriptions to the Uni
ted States loan to be opened Feb. 5 will
easily take up the entire SlOO,0OO,0OO bonds
offered. The bond syndicate realizing this
fact, concluded to step out, which, to say
the least, is a magnanimous act. The an
nouncement of the dissolution of the syn
dictate, however, reveals the fact that the
syndicate had received subscriptions
amounting to 5000. 1000, which amount
was pledged to be paid into the United
States treasury as required, thus showing
the supply of gold in this country ready
to go into government bonds at a remu-
nerative rate, and which must be a sur
prise not only at home but abroad. After
this exhibition of gold strength, it will
scarcely be fair for European bankers
and others to continue their predictions
that the United States government will
be unable to maintain gold payments. If
any further evidence is wanting to show
the great financial strength of this coun-
try as compared with others, the follow
ing facts will be conclusive:

Of the death and suffering his act had
caused. Pietri. the Paris chief of police
made strong effort to secure his pardon
by the council. in which event the en-
was SO grieved at his failure and so
moved with the fate of Orsini that he re-
signed his office. Orsini was not a ruff
nan. HIS intense patriotism had made
him fanatic, and his false light on the
question showed him that the French
King was the great obstacle in the way
OF Italian freedom. He could not have
made a greater error, for the emperor was
the most powerful friend of Orsinis cause
and by the compact of Plombiers," he
promised Count CaVOur, the Piedmont
nObleman. to support the cause of Italian
emancipation by force. The emperor had
"heshed his maiden sword against the
Austrlans at Forli, and he always re-
manned true to the dream of his youth.
Pietr told Orsini in his cell that he had
tried to Kill the only ruler in Europe
from whom the Italians could expect
help. Orsini wrote 10 the emperor, and In
one of his letters said: do not repulse,
sire, the words of a patriot who stands
on the verge of the grave. Free Italy,
and the benedictions of twenty-five mil
lions OF people Will accompany your name
to the grave"
The emperor openly indorsed the senti-
ment expressed in Orsinfs letters by send
ing them to Count Cavour for publication
in the Piedmont newspapers. Learning
of this, and being convinced thereby that
the king had espoused his cause, Orsini
wrote again from his prison, condemning
political murder and calling on the youth
of Italy to prepare itself for fighting out
the liberty of its country by practicinE
the virtues Of citizens, which alone could
free Italy and make Il Independent and
worthy of its past greatness"
