MARKET REPORT.

New York, Wednesday Morn
ing, July 10Th. 1S96.-Under
the influence OF the rainfall in
Texas which was reported to
have come just when necessary,
the markets have declined shar
ply with a free liquidation
for the long account and an
apparent increase in the short
interest through the buying of
European spinners who are
not unwilling to accumulate a
reserve supply on the basis Of
present prices. ON own spin
ners however, remain out OF the
market and the usual engage
ments for Fall shipments from
the South TO the East do not
appear 10 bave been made.
This is the natural result
Of the uneasiness felt in
business circles over the re
suit of the approaching election.
Merchants have been astonish
ed at the declaration Of prime
Iiples annuncialed at Chicago
and the result will he shown in
the general disposition of every
one to put their affairs in order
to meet any contingencies which
may arise. Such d policy will
tend to restrict the demand FOR
anything more than the actual
necessities Of life, and unless
relieved by a return of conf
dence it's effect will be felt in
every line of trade.
With these conditions affect
ing the market it is not surpris
ing that values are unsettled
and prices declining, in fact the
tone Of commercial circles is
more pessimistic than for the
past;two years. What the even
tual outcome Of market which

pear, and refuses to pay any
attention to the excellent trade
conditions in Europe and the
exhaustion of the supplies of
American cotton throughout
the World, will be, it is not now
possible to forecast.
During the past two years
not only the American crops
have disappeared from sight
aggregating 100000 bales
of cotton but the visible sup
plies have also been reduced
100000 bales showing to what
an extent the consumption of
American cotton has increased
during the period. This con
sumption forecasts a demand
for the new crop which if as
sisted by revival Of confidence
! in America, might quickly
change the entire aspect Of the
cotton situation, but it is evi
dent that something more than
figures" are needed to bring
about such a desired change

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condl-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and IS
everywhere esteemed SO highly by ali
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due 60 the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

plus fortunately in its treasury, to the
payment of expenses not met by its cur
rent revenues. IS not at all TO be likened to
a man living beyond his income and thus
mourning debt or encroaching on his prin-
cipal.
1t is one Of the functions of our govern
ment to accumulate and make additions
TO fund not needed for immediate expen-
diture. With individuals it is the chief
object OF struggle and efforts. The appli-
cation of an accumulated fund by the gov
eminent to the payment Of its running ex-
penses is a duty.
An individual living beyond his income
and embarrassing himself with debtors
drawing upon his accumulated fund of
principal, is either unfortunate or i'm
provident.
The distinction is between government
charged with the duty of expanding for
the benefit of the people and for proper
purchases all the money it receives from
any source and the individual who is eX-
pected TO manifest a natural desire TO
avoid debt or to accumulate as much as
possible and TO live within the income de-
rived from such accommodations, 10 the
end that they may be Increased or AT
least remain unimpaired for the future use
and enjoyment OF himself or the objects
of his love and affection who may survive
him.
1t is immeasureably better to appropriate
our surplus to the payment of justifiable
expenses than to allow it to become an
invitation to reckless appropriations and
extravaEant expenditures.
/ suppose it will not be not denied that
under present law that our people obtain
the necessaries Of a comfortable existence
at a cheaper rate than formerly. This is
a matter of supreme Importance. since it
is the payable duty Of every just govern
ment to make the burdens of taxation as
light as possible.
The people should not be required TO
relinquish this privilege Of cheaper living
except under the stress Of their govern
ments necessity made plainly manifest.

Of the Union Pacific lines, and exceeds S21. =
100000 on account of the Central Pacific
lines.
The situation of these roads and the
condition of their Indebtedness to the gov
eminent has been fully set forth in the re-
ports of various committee and to the
present and prior Congresses. and as early
as 1887 they We're thoroughly examined by
a special committee appointed pursuant to
an act of Congress The considerations
requiring an adjustment Of the govern
ments relations to the companies have
been clearly presented and the conclusion
reached with practical uniformity. that
if these relations are not terminated they
should be revised upon basis securing
their safe continuance.
Under section Of the Act Of Congress
passed March s. 1857. the President is
charged with the duty, I'm the event that
any mortgage or other incumbrance pac-
amount to the interest of the United States
in the property of the Pacific railroads,
shall be lawfully liable to be enforced,
to direct the acts of the Departments of
Treasury and Justice i'm the protection
of the interest of the United States by
redemption or through judicial proceed
ings, including foreclosures Of the govern
ment liens.
In view OF the fact that the Congress
has for a number of years almost con-
stantly had under consideration various
plans for dealing with the conditions ex-
listing between these roads and the gov
eminent I have thus far felt justified in
Withholding action under the statute
above mentioned.
In the case of the Union Pacific COM
pauy. however. the situation has become
especially and Immediately urgent Pro-
cccdings have been instituted to foreclose
a first mortgage upon those aided parts

meut holds "a second and subordinate mort

ceodings and increasing complications,

size the mandate of the act of 1887 and give

Congress shall otherwise direct or shall
have previously determined upon a dif-

hardly appear to exist any reason for de
