The decision of the supreme court
IN the cases o. Billings, Stark and
Mercer counties will probably not
affect the boundaries OF counties east
Of the river--Ward, Williams and Me-
Lean. The conditions west OF the
river are dinerent-there an action
was brought as soon as possible after
the boundary laws were passed and
has been pending since until its final
decision q day or s. ago. On the east
ssidde5of the river, the conditions have
become settledno action has been
brought, and Iitigantshaye slept upon
their rights for eleven years--and
while fflII following ont the exact letter
Of the law the conditions might be
parallel it Isl probable that the courts
WWould decide that on the ground OF
public policy the county boundaries
would not BE interfered with--so there
No likelihood 81 disturbance of
conditions east of the river.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
New Orleans, Oct. 22.-Cotton futures


New York, Oct ga recovery of
to points took place in the early deal
ings in cotton this morning. 1t looked
as if sellers had withdrawn from the
market, for the time being, inasmuch
as the market has been worked down
sharply for several days. Although
receipts continue quite heavy, and were
estimated at $4,000 against $4,000 last
year. it was known a. week since that
the movement the current week would
prove quite favorab BILE. There was
little selling for European account on
the whole, a reaction was considered as
in order. Weather reports failed to eff
feet the market either way, yesterday
forecast of mild conditions everywhere
in the South having been fully antici-
pated The highest temperature re-
ported this morning was 20 at Hous-
ton, the lowest, AZ. at Rome, Ga. The
market subsequently to the opening
was dull and narrow, with the tone
somewhat easier. Selling was checked
by possibility of frost in the near fu-
ture and buying was checked by the
liberal receipts. Texas reports continue
to attract attention and there is more
or less contradiction as to the exact
status of the crop in that state. Re-
ports have been persistently circulated
the past few days that the chances for
a second growth are magnificent, and
il frost is only deferred a while. the
second growth will exceed the first. 1t
is not believed that such reports have
the slightest basis outside the imagina-
ton of the people circulating them.
We have never witnessed season
where the Texas crop advices were so
uniformly poor, or positively wretched.
With the frost question counting SO lit
tie at the present, the fact is borne
in mind that the freezing temperature
