Isn't it little singular that the New

about the pork barrel" and .slices Of
pork" during the present session of Con-
gress? Is it because New York herself
hopes to get large and fat slice of pork
before a great while?

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican Qnd)
says: THE cotton mill men are wondering
why the speculative furore should extend
to cotton, which has been exhibiting signs
of going crazy like stocks and copper.
The cotton crop remains as big as it was
when prices made new records some weeks
ago, and demand from the mills is not
soaring. Indeed, most of the mills have
quietly laid by stocks of cotton sufficient
to last several months and are in no
hurry to buy more. 1t is a case apparent
ly of the speculator ''going it" alone. like
most of the other mutations now in prog
ress."

One outcome of the Adams poisoning
case In New York will probably be
change in the federal postal laws. The
mysterious poisoner is believed to have
rented private letter box in shop, and
through it to have carried on the CORE
spondence necessary to work out the muir
derous scheme. 1t IS now claimed that
private letter boxes-boxes at certain
places of business where one may have
mail matter directed-are extensively used
10 cover up clandestine, immoral and often
criminal correspondence, and it is pro-
posed that an amendment to the postal
laws prohibiting the keeping of such boxes
for rent shall be passed.

A dealer writes to the Atlanta Journal
We have received to-day from Canada a
carload of turnips, and will send about
$500 of cotton money TO the dominion TO
pay for them. We would rather buy the
turnips in Georgia, but cannot get them
here" If there is one vegetable which
more than another will come to perfection
in Georgia soil, it is the turnip. There is
not county in the state which will not
grow as fine Tutabagas as are grown in
Canada, or elsewhere. Roots Weighing five
or six pounds are common; and they can
be banked for winter use or sale, just as
sweet potatoes are. An average carload
of turnips weighs about 10000 pounds. A
bushel Of turnips weighs So pounds. The
carload, therefore, has in it somewhere
in the neighborhood of S65 bushels. These
could be produced on four acres, and prob
ably less, of Georgia land. Is 1t possible
to make $500 on four acres of cotton?

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 2-The stock mark

Changers, Pacifics and Speclaltles, prac-
tically al day with but incidental rallies
There was an appearance OF support IN
certain stocks in the final dealings which
caused Il fairly steady close, although
the Changers were stiH under pressure.
There was no news to account for the
decline except for firmer tone to money,
call rates touching 31a-per cent. atuihu-
table to call issued preliminary to the
settlement between the Central Pacific
Railroad and the Government. The
easier tone of sterling exchange was a
natural accompaniment Of the frmer
tone in money indicating that an in
creased demand for money might CON
tract the volume of American funds now
loaned abroad. There We're denials from
bank officials of the current assertion
that undue discrimination was beng
exercised against the industrial colater-

were filed up the market began TO taper
off and continued easy until there vas

demand from outsiders. But. while the

much to themselves. they did not know
what to do with it, and most OF them let
it severely alone. Business was the
slowest for recent times. From the
highest to the lowest prices there was
Il variation of only 6 points, with the
