COTTON.

The paramount event of the week on
the cotton markets everywhere was the
bureau report putting this crop at a
low figure, and causing the markets to
rise at rapid rate. Spots at Savannah
responded to the upward movement,
and prices close higher, with the de-
mand good. No disposition to sell at
concessions is shown in any quarter.
Receipts for the week $4,000. against
$4,000, and the exports $4,000 against
$1,000. Sales 1870 uplands and 2,246 sea
islands, and for the season $3.50 up
lands and 20,972 sea islands.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the. close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

with, the demand from exporters very
satisfactory. Prices close at the adj

is promising for a continued good de-

moderate crop, are the influences which
are contributing to the better feeling

held back on plantations the trade

sEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

The approach of another month
and the lengthening days remind
us that we are drawing toward the
end of the winter season. A few
weeks more and spring will be with
us. We shall all be glad to see it,
for, as a we'll known writer has re-
minded us, "there is something in
the s%oftness of the air, in the
frightening. of the days, in the
very sounds and odors of the sweet
time, that caresses us and consoles
us after the rigorous weeks of
winter"
But it is not with a view to
moralizing on the change of sea-
sons that this article is begun, but
rather for the purpose of offering
few suggestions that seem appro-
pirate to the spring time when it
shall have come.
When the SHOWS of winter
have disappeared and the balmy
breezes blow again, the thoughts of
the thrifty housewife invariably
turn to house-cleaning. She takes
up the carpets and has them we'll
beaten. dashes water here and
and there, and cleans out every
nook and corner of the domicile.
Her example is a meritorious one
and we'll worthy of imitation, not
only by the head of the family,
but by the city authorities as we'll.
Every owner of a home should take
ahand in the spring cleaning bust
ness. Let him see to it that all
rubbish lying about the yards is
cleaned away, that all needed re-
pairs to fences and buildings are
made, and that the premises are
rendered as neat and attractive as
possible.
As to the city authorities, it will
be their business to see to it that
the city generally is rendered neat
and wholesome. Let them see to
it that the streets are cleaned as
early in the season as possible, and
that everything offensive to the
sight, Or which might become a
nuisance, is speedily removed.
They should investigate carefully
and make sure hat every menace
to health in all parts of the city is
remedied without unnecessary
delay,

THE POOR MANS COUNTRY.
The fact that the country sur
rounding Devils Lake presents un-
usual opportunities for immigrants
who wish to secure homes at COM
paratively small cost has fire.
quently been pointed out in the
columns of the Inter-O Ocean, but
the subject is one to which the.
attention Of those likely to be in
terested cannot too frequently be
invited, and hence we feel that no
apology is necessary because of
our repeated reference to the
matter. There are many thousands
scattered throughout the states of
the east who would gladly avail
themselves of the openings which
this particular section of country
affords, did they but know of them,
and it is with a view to making it
generally known that this is a land
of opportunities that the Inter
Ocean SO persistently presents the
subject.
Two facts which we desire to
have noised abroad as much as
possible. The first is that the soil
in the Devils Lake district is rich
and productive. There is no bet
ter farming country. This is
proven by the fact that those who
engage in agricultural pursuits
hefeabouts rapidly acquire wealth.
Our farmers as q class are we'll to
do, and are rapidly becoming still
better off. Intelligent farming
pays here and can never fail to be
remunerative to a high degree.
The other prominent fact to
which we invite attention is the
ease with which the ownership of a
farm can be acquired. Numerous
instances have been chronicled in
these columns where a single
years crop has more than paid for
the land. In no other state than
North Dakota does it occur more
frequently than in the Devils
Lake country. Of course we do
not pretend to claim that in every
instance will the first crop pay for
the land, but what we do insist, is
that nowhere in the whole United
States is there a spot where the
proceeds of the soil will more
quickly recompense for all invest
ment than right here in this dis.
trict.
From such conditions as these
noted, there can be no other infer
ence than that the land is good
and cheap. Suppose that a young
man buys a farm in the east at the
prevailing prices there, running in
debt for one-half or two-thirds of
the same, what is the result?
Why he is old and grey headed
before he can get out of debt; in
fact, may consider himself for
tunate if in the end the mortgage
does not eat up everything and
leave him impoverished in the de-
Ginning years of his life. How
different it is here. Ordinarily, in
two or three years the young man
who goes partly in debt for the
farm in this part of the country
does not swing clearit may be put
down as his own fault. He either
