cial Chronicle show sharp falling off at
the four principal eastern cities and i'm
creases at Chicago and st. Louis in con-
siderable proportion while at New Or
leans the increase over last year is nearly
46 per cent. over last year. AT other cities
the increase is over 10 per cent The in
crease in the South is doubtless due
largely to the activity in the cotton mar
ket and is suggestive of the future de-
mand upon New York for funds from that
section. But the clearing house returns
only serve to perplex the problem of the
phenomenal foan expansion of New York
banks.
The business in bonds has been on
fairly large scale and the tendency OF
prices has been somewhat mixed.

Dariseys Accomplish Much More

From the Kansas City Star.
Contractors In South Missouri employ
many negroes to load railroad ties on the
cars of the Memphis railway. The ties
are cut In the woods, hauled to the rail-
way in wagons and dumped in piles along
the sides of the roads. The negroes then
take them up. tie by tie, and run with
them up the planks TO the cars, where
they drop them In regular order. These
negroes are paid a price for each tie they
carry, so they vie with one another to
earn the most money in one day They
become so expert at the work that an
Old hand can throw a heavy tie on his
shoulder so that II will balance, and then,
without holding it,, he will run, both hands
pressed fiat against his sides, up the gang
plank to the car. The negroes are so
accustomed to the work that they seldom
drop tie and seem never to have sore
shoulders. One may see gangs OF a dozen
or more of them. all singing and whist
ling. Each sings at the top OF his voice
or whistles as loud as he can, and every
tune is different. The effect Is amusing
but beyond description. The men carry
their ties at a trot ell day long. An In

call to a negro half way up the plank
with a tie on his shoulder to throw 1t

negro gets no credit for his load. and goes
back swearing at his bad luck while his
companions stop their music and burst
into loud. uncomfortable laughter. .4
All. these negro tie carriers have deep
grooves In the right shoulder where the

COTTON.

The cotton market closed quiet and I'M
changed to-day. The feature was the in
crease in receipts as compared with last
year. The total received was 91S1 bales,
against !, 421 bales same day last year. As
stated from time to time the advance in
prices started holders to selling. Export
ers were anxious for all the cotton they
could get and have been buying freely at
good prices for the past two weeks or
more. Large receipts are expected for
several days, when it is the current opin-
ion there will be a sudden falling off
which will indicate the disposition of
about all the cotton to be had in this sec
ton.
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the close of the market at the
Cotton Exchange to-day:
