We do not wish TO suggest any
further work or expense to the
county respecting the new court
house, but if our public-splrlted
citizens would take the matter in
hand and pay the expense of light

would be another step in the d.
rection of progress.

Weekly Market Review.

The cotton market has been heavy the
weakness becoming more pronounced to-
ward the end of the week. Prices lost
about Is points, closing at 5.29c for Oc-
tober, SAC for January, aud 550c for
March As a stimulant to the market the
September bureau report had less effect
on Liverpool even than on New York
Despite the well nigh universal reports of
a serious decline, in condition, the trade
insists that a very large crop has been
made and that here will be more cotton
than the world wants at present prices
The bulish features of the situation are
quite ignored; no attention is paid to the
light movement, both at ports and in
terror towns; neither has ii yet occurred
TO the trade that as frost has already come
as far south as Kentucky, there is a well
defined threat of an early fall. With the
crop as late as it is, fall even more pro-
longed than usual is requisite for even a
fair or normal crop. However, there seem
to be, as is generally the case when prices
get very low, two sellers for every buyer
and nearly everybody says there is nothing
in the situation to afford promise of high
er prices. 1t is even said that some ex-
porters are selling out their hedges at
this late day, preferring to remain short
on their spot cotton obligations. II ap-
pears almost incredible that people can
not see the extreme danger of a heavy
short interest under existing circum-
stances. Present influences and sentiment
may cause a further depression in prices,
but now, and on all further declines, buy
ing seems much safer than selling.
There was good strength in wheat Ow-
ing to small stocks and good demand,
resulting in an advance of nearly &c, which.
however was not all sustained expected
heavy receipts causing some reaction. De-
cember closed at 629sq6234c, gain of 15sc.
At current prices wheat looks like a good
investment on weak spots.
Corn was easier closing 9sc lower, at
29slc for December. There is no longer
any promise of more than a moderate
crop and with two such an succession.
there seems no reason why corn should
long remain at these low prices.

ginning of July the associated banks held
about $3.50, 600 of specie and legal tend
ors. and the surplus reserve stood at $751;
300 600. This extraordinary accumulation
of lawful money was regarded as placing
the banks In an unusually strong position
for meeting the autumn demand for inte-
rior crop movements and the expectation
of an unusual plethora Of loanable funds
until the end of the year was quite gen.
eral. The local stock of money had never
been equalled but once, namely, In Feb
ruary, 1894. when we were in the midst
of the great reaction from the liquidating
process consequent upon the panic of
1893. Under such conditions, few antici-
pated that by the middle of September
the New York banks would have their
attention attracted to the condition of
their reserves; and yet such Is the fact.
Their stock of lawful money has fallen
from 25O,00O000 on July to $3.50 100000 on
Sept 9, and their surplus reserves from
Sei 900 to 100000 This decrease is in
only a small degree due to the usual fall
shipments Of money TO the interior; for
this year they have so far been almost
nominal, amounting, up to last week, to
not more than 100000 or 100000. The
explanation OF the position is TO be found
almost entirely in our war finances, and
more especially in the payments on ac-
count Of the $500 100000 loan.

and the expectation of stringency has
virtually disappeared. This obstacle be-
ing removed, there was nothing to pre-
vent general reaction towards better
conditions. The bears" had succeeded in
breaking prices to level of comparative
cheapness; the market was freely over
sold; and there were substantial opera
tors ready to take in important lines Of
stocks when they were satisfied that the
bottom of values had been touched The
general drift of events during the week
has tended to warn the bears" TO cover
and the bulls to buy. Sterling ex-
change has fallen to the gold importing
point, and some considerable engagements
have already been made for shipping the
metal to this port. There has also been
some easing in the rates for money, con-
sequent upon offerings from out-of-t town
sources, and IL has been accepted as q
good symptom that the new bonds are
being taken up more rapidly.
The money market has verged upon a
somewhat critical condition, which had
not been generally anticipated At the be-
