MARKET
HURTS BUSINESS
No Cotton is Being Sold at Present
Prices.
FARMERS ARE HOLDING STEADY
Business Yesterday Suffered Not a
Little From Conditions Existing
Trade In All Lines Rather Dull at
Present.

The condition OF the cotton market
was plainly reflected here yesterday
in the general condition of business in
all lines, and as rule Americas mer-
chants had rather quiet day when
otherwise all would have been very
busy.
For the money supply was cut off,
as the sale OF cotton has practically
ceased since the squeeze began and
prices slumped.
The crowd in town was an average
one, but the disposition to trade was
lacking to great extent, Some mer-
chants had a goodtrade, but this was
hardly the rule.
Cotton receipts, which have dwin-
died considerably of late, amounted to
321 bales, but practically all of this re-
mains in the warehouses unsold, Far
mers declare they will not sacrifice
their cotton at present prices, and but
few sales are made,
LII 1hCbg 1880
sold here all together yesterday.
Farmers and others holding cotton
believe a gigantic fraud is being per-
petrated, and as they are willing and
able to hold cotton now it really looks
like waiting game was to be played.
What troubles them most is the fact
that what cotton remains in the field
is rotting from the effect of the rams
and cannot be picked.
The total receipts the past week at
ali the warehouses in Americas was
less than eleven hundred bales, Against
2, 432 bales for the week previous, and
2 $50 for the last week in September.
The movement this week will be very
much lighter.
New York did not follow LiVerpooPs
break yesterday, and the hope is ex
pressed that the market will rally
again this week.

CAPTAIN FIELDER a CANDIDATE.
Announces Himself in the Race for
MavOr.

To the citizens of Americas. At the
earnest solicitation of my personal
friends, and many acquaintance rep
.resenting the Yarious commercial and
industrial interests of our city, I have
determined to become a candidate for
the Mayoralty of Americas, subject to
the action of the Democratic primary,
which will doubtless be ordered IN
due time.
My former record as Mayor of the
city, together with my long residence
as a citizen, trust will obYiate the
necessity of a personal canvass, which
business engagements would scarcely
permit at this time; SO that I take this
method of announcing my candidacy,
and earnestly ask the consideration
and support of the people.
If elected, I pledge a conservative,
economical and business-like admin
istration, devoted to every best inter
est of the entire city and its people.
Respectfully, JNo, B. FIELDER.

PAYS MORTGAGE IN ADVANCE.
The Farmer is Now Master of The
Situation.

The satisfactory price at which near
ly the whole of the cotton crop in this
section has been sold has served to
make the farmer.the complete master of
the situation, and he can now sell
what little remains of his crop at his
pleasure. A banker, in discussing the
general condition of affairs With the
Times Recorder yesterday, advanced
the belief that as a class our farmers
are now in better condition financially
than at any time in ten years. Many
of them have cancelled all mortgages
upon their lands while not few, he
said, had discounted bank papers pay
able next year, They have discharged
the great bulk of their obligations, and
haYe money left to spend or invest as
they choose.

PROSPECT THAT
BRITISH FORCES
WILL SOON MOVE

London, Feb. 6.-Spencer Wilkinson, in
the Morning Post, says: '"rhe tide is
beginning to turn. In the western the
ater Of war it looks as though General
French had been reinforced, perhaps by
General Cllermside's brigade. This would
be the beginning of a systematic direc-
ton of the campaign. When General
French has disposed of the enemy form
ing his present objective his force will
be available for other operations"
Detailing possible operations of Gener-
ais French, Kelly and Gatacre,
Mr.. Wilkinson says:
There is now prospect that in two
or three weeks the British forces will
err repairing the bridges AMI collecting
all the requisites for the advance north
ward, to begin as soon as Lord Roberts
sees his way to order the movement.
"There are now more than enough
troops between the coast and Orange
river to form three infantry divisions
and a cavalry division without counting
either the colonial mounted troops or
five militia battalions which can be used
to relieve regular batalions on the lines
OF communication. Lord Methuen's S
brigades make further addition that
might ultimately be utilized"
Mr.. Wilkinson then proceeds to urge
the government to make every prepara-
ton against emergencies at hcme and
particularly to put the volunteers and
all available forcas in the most complete
condition for service If needed. He rec
ommends re-arming volunteers, batter
les Of position with the best modern guns
and in short to re-organize and equip the
available forces rather than has1y efforts
to recruit untried men.

BRITISH MUST
WIN BY. SHEER
FORCE OF NUMBER.

New York, Feb. 6. While London had
received not one word of news from Ma
tai and no direct war news from Cape
Colony, the feeling of confidence con-
tinues and grows stronger. No one
seems to doubt that General Butler is
making a third attempt to relieve Lady
smith. So sure does the public feel that
British arms will in the end triumph that
even if should General Butler fail in this
attempt there would no; be so general
an outcry as in his previous failures.
The tide Of British opinion turned with
the report from Spearman's camp tina.
General Joubert had only $4,000 men be-
tween Buffers army and Ladysmith and
the statement by Mr.. Wyndham that the
British would soon have $4,000 troops
in South Africa. General Butler has
been heavily reinforced with men and
guns, additional regiments have been
sent to the forces operating in Cape
Colony and $4,000 men are abou: 20 sail
from England for the Cape. It is real
ICED that the English must win by sheer
force of overwhelming numbers It not by
superior fighting capacity.
Lately the German critics have not
had SO much to say about the peril of
the British army. Dr. Leyds is still be-
ing feted in Berlin, but the center Of anti
British feeling seems to hav. moved to
Paris. the British ambassador having left
that city owing to the hostility of Tic
French press and people.
The London morning papccs devote
much more. space to speculation on the
imDeudinGr campaign in Cape Colony
than to General Buller's operations. The
military expert Of the Morning Leader
