port came from the movement, which
was large, although receipts were
hsht ou SATURDAY. lhe present ten
dency seems unquestionably toward fur
Their improvement, very much 10 the sur
prise of those who think that because the
crop is a large one the price must re-
main ali the time below the cost of produc-
ton, and go still lower. Those able North
ern editors who argue magisterially that
the mere fact of so much cotton being
consecutively grown sufficiently proves 1t
can be profitably produced at current
prices, would perhaps change their opln-
ion If they could see the impoverishment
OF the farmers. That is why the South IS
participating so slightly in the general
wave of prosperity There is absolutely
no money from cotton, and other things
do not go far toward making up OF
course, it is all right, nobody TO blame
but ourselves; as it is the clearly foreseen
result of persistent over-production; but
1t is nonsense to talk about profit in
the staple under such conditions. Be-
sides the world-recognition of the low price
there is another powerful argument in
favor of an advance. The great cheap
ness and abundant supply must inevitably
nave enormously expanded the consump-
ton of cotton; the theoretical estimates
of the accepted stausticians are of rot
much value; they may be out by 10 TO
10 per cent. A little stronger touch of
the contagious bullish wave could easily
carry cotton a cent higher in a few weeks
The reaction forecasted for the grain and
provision markets was on time, as all
these markets ruled decidedly weaker.
Wheat closed about &c lower, May, zoe
Lower foreign markets caused liquidation
OF the recent speculation, which was only
to have been expected. Wheat may sell a
good deal lower; but the present temper
Is htful. and short selling would seem
advisable only on rallies, especially as
the break has already stimulated the for
eign demand.
May corn closed firm at SIC.
Provisions broke rather sharply during
the latter part of the week May pork
closed $995. Ribs, after selling as low as
S4.95, closed at $500. AS stated last week.
II may do to buy some around that price
There is scarcely a year that ribs do not

BOOK NOTICES.

Some Marked Passages and Other Sto-
ries." By Jeanne G. Pennington. New
York. Fords, Howard & Hubert Cloth
gilt top, $1O0 1t is fairly mooted ques-
ton, whether ones interest in reading a
book is enhanced or disturbed by finding
marginal or other lines drawing attention
to what has arrested the notice of some
previous reader. An attractive book of
new stories by Miss Jeanne G. Pennington
entitled "Some Marked Passages has
this for its undercurrent. In the opening
scene, the superintendent, matron, and
some of the doctors of hospital, among
whom seems to exist a comradic sociabili-
ty, discuss the question, apropos of a
package of books, some of which are so
marked, just received for the use of pa
tents. The volume contains several other
stories of more miscellaneous interest.
