ka called az his office with a note
from McNall authorizing Quinton to

TnE LEADER takes the following
from New York dispatch OF last Sat
urday
Spot cotton in Liverpool today fell
to the lowest price ever known, and
chiefly because John Bull has the
bumper crop on the brain. This is
largely the fault OF the planter who
rushes his crop TO market at rate
which warrants crop conclusions,
while the most reliable Advices are
emphatic In the belief that the crop
will be fully 1000. 900 below the fig-
ures that reckless crop guessers put
forward. NJ. Il. Guenther, OF Louis.
Vile, an excellent authority, esti-
mates the yield at 9,63s, 900 bales,
which Is perhaps ultra conservative. but
IL Is far neRrer the truth no doubt
than 10, 500, 900. The mills OF Europe
and this country have the smallest
stocks on record and buy only from
hand to mouth because OF the heavy
crop estimates so persistently put for
ward Let planters market their cot.
ton less literally and a sharp advance
would follow, because il is their rapid
sending to market that has knockAd
the price down TO about S27 bale on
demoralized oV Liverpool aud the
bears shouted, 'let the good work 90
on"
The dispatch upbrRids the farmer for
rushing" his cotton TO market. The
farmer might be disposed TO hold his
cotton, but he can't. IL 10 this way
The merchants owe the New York
wholesalers and the banks. The coun-
try banks owe the New York banks.
The farmer owes the country banks
and the country merchants.
The country merchants bill is fall
ing due in October and Novem Der and
he makes his customer hustle the cot
ton in to pay him - the merchant can
pay his bills. The local merchant has
the farmer tied hand and foot with
mortgages and sends his agents into
the country urging them 10 rush the
cotton in and pay their bills. IL is no
trouble to learn why they have to rush
the cotton in, They are bound hand
and foot by debt and mortgage, and
these debts and mortgages must be
met at no matter what sacrifice. The
whole thing rests on the farmer and
he Is the sufferer He is forced to sell
his product at low prices to pay his
debts so local merchants can pay
theirs. The farmer Is the only man
who can liquidate, because he, OF all
others. is the only man who produces
anything. II he fails In his prodnc,
tion, or gets a low price for what he
does produce, and on that account
fails to pay, those to whom he is in,
debted can't pay and they "bust" So,
TO keep his friends from busting and a
desire 10 pay his debts, with little
coercion, the farmer "rushes" his cot,
ton 10 market and sells il. Aud. Ia
fact experience OF those who have
tried 1t, Gays that il is the best way
TO sell al fast as you gather But the
farmer-the produeer-hasn't much
choice about il. Debt forces him tc
sell as soon as It is gathered.

merchandise than on an the rivers and
all the seas OF Christendom put to-

Marco POlo's account OF the Nang-,se-
kiang Ii seems. indeed. more like u
sea than a river. Messer Marco Polo
said that he once beheld at that city
$1,000 vessels at one time And you
may Judge II this city, OF no great
size, has such number, how many
must there be altogether considering
that on the banks OF this river there
are more than sixteen provinces and
more than 200 great cities besides
towns and villages, all possessing yes-
sells! Messer Marco Polo aforesaid tells
us that he heard fron the officer en-
ployed to collect the great khan's du-
ties on this river that there passed up
stream 200 900 vessels in the year, with
out counting those that passed down J
Indeed, as 4 has course OF such great
length and receives so many other nav
igable rivers, il Is no wonder that the
merchandise which is borne on II is OF
vast amount and value And the ar
ticle in largest quantity Of all Is salt,
which Is carried by this river and its
branches to all the cities on their
banks and thence TO the other cities
In the interior The vessels which ply
on this liver are decked. They have
but one mast, but they are OF great
burthen, for ! can assure you they
carry reckoning ~ our weight from
1000 TO 10000 cantars each. In going
upstream they have TO be hauled, for
the current is so strong that they could
not make head in any other manner.
Now the towlne which is some 300
PAGES in length. is made OF nothing but
cane. 'Tis in this way: They have
great canes that are some fifteen PAGES
in length; these they take and split
from end to end into many slender
strips and then they twist these strips
together so as to make a rope OF any
length they please. And the ropes Sc
made are stronger than II they were
