New York, Sept. %. AT
though Liverpool was steadier
than expected under large buying
for merchants in Alexandria,
Egypt the opening Improvement
was slowly lost and the trade re-
main is as depressed condition as
ever. There is a slight increase
in the investment demand by
parties who believe in buying cot
ton at the lowest price Of the
year, with the idea of buying
down as the market declines.
Speculative buying as specula-
tion, does not appear in any mar.
ket. Heavy rains are reported
from Georgia and Mississippi,
which, under other condition,
would stimulate buying, but
which are now without Influence
on prices. 1t is thoroughly be

adds to the yield, and that the
chances are even. The winter
will be an open one without an

Now when cotton is u to ( 3 /
cents we hear less complaint than
when it was Is and Z cents, but all
the same IT is Il ruinous policy to
raise cotton at such prices by any
method heretofore in vogue by
average farmers. 1t will he nee
essary to make two or three bales
to the acre and buy nothing that
can be raised on the farm. Mo-
lasses is cheap but you can't buy
an acres product of molasscs
with the cotton raised on the same
acre, after deducting the cost of
production. There would be but
little money in hay it all the far.
mers turned their attention to
bay making, but they will not do
so, besides you can turn your hav
INTO mules, cattle, sheep. or goats,
and you will be dead old and re-
tired before your nelghbors catch
on. Corn, wheat, oats, rye, bar
ley, peas, pindars, potatoes, tur-
nips, beets, and other products
can be converted into live stock or
turned to other uses, and every
acre planted in any of these
crowds out an acre of cotton, re.
duccs the supply and tends to
raise the price. There is not n
fortune perhaps in raising hogs,
but it takes the gross receipts
from a whole acre of cotton to
buy single good sized porker,
and when YOU talk about net re
cclpts you are ont of n subject.
Then you must have the hog any
way, while in the case of cotton,
you find the only value is the
margin between the cost of pro
auction and proceeds of sale.

THEY ALL WANT 1T.

The shades of night were falling fast,
When through the county seat there
passed
In proud array, and measured tread,
A crowd Of men, and each one said
II want to be sheriff y
Their eyes were bright as sparkling
dew,
With one accord they passed and sung
In accents of well-known tongue,
81 want to he sheriff"
tGive me your vote" was jumbled up
With something like, ''come have q
sup
CHOW do you stand" was mixed, in
deed,
With words of import: Have weed. F"
II want to be sheriff. +"
Loughlin the veteran came in sight;
He looked not to the left or right;
But marching boldly toward the Jail,
Cried in voice that made us quail,
81 want to be sheriff"
Next in the line came Suttons' form,
Hoping to carry all by storm;
1T tried it onceIll try again.
Let not my prayers be all in vain;
81 want to be sheriff"
And next there came upon our view
Another brave man, good and true;
Twas Walt Bonner, and he said,
In tones that nearly woke the dead,
81 want to be sheriff"
Frank Rodgers, too, firm as a rock.
Gave our weak nerves terrible shock;
He grasped us with hand like death,
AND whispered just beneath his breath,
II want to be sheriff."
Mart Ilrze soon may come along
To mingIe with the busy throng,
And as through his locks the wind
plays tag
He will yell aloud the same old gag;
Il want to be sheriff y
Perhaps some others seek place
In county fame and join the race;
We hear some voices Ginning in,
Hoarse voices raised in fearful din
Il want to be sheriff.
How long, 0 Lord, how long we pray,
Will men continue in this way?
How many more, with weary feet
Will Journey through the county seat
And want to be sheriff
Adapted from the New North.
