MURPHY & cos COTTON LETTER.

New York. March 26.-The receipts of
cotton at the ports today were not over
L.. 600 bales, as against 5000 last year;
but even this small movement had lit
tie effect on sentiment. the bear point
being that on all sides holders are re-
luctant to let go since the market COM
menced to go down. On the other hand,
bulls accepted the decreased movement
as a positive indication of exhaustion
The market opened 5 TO s points higher
on covering of shorts. No little bust
ness for Philadelphia account was ex-
ecuted. especially for May and the early
strength generally was largely ascribed
to his. The main question was: Is
liquidation about over or will it be re-
sumed on as big a scale as ever?
Gables were 3 points lower. Local
prices were lower after the opening,
but there was little spirit to the market
and a disposition to await new develop
ments. People who ave been confident
of a crop not exceeding $500. 600 now ad-
init that the figures today point to at
least 10. 00O. 000. and how much more
they are not willing to say; but even so.
they say supplies are not large enouS1
TO meet the worlds requirements n
that expectations of much higher values
must of necessity be BASED on a decid-
edly decreased movement in the VerV
near future. The decreased shipments
tf spots from the interior are ascribef
to the fact that holders will not accept
the current prices. Either ttis fact Or
actual exhaustion. it Is argued. must ex-
lain the slower movement in question.
The margin between cotton and yarns
has increased in the English centers and
the mill situation abroad is said to be
healthier than generally supposed.

The Green Forest tribune., 1902-07-12

A THOUGHTFUL exchange re- marks you should never judge a person by their clothing. It says the man with fringe around the bottom of his trousers, one piece of toe string fastened to the top of his trousers with ten penny nails and running diagonally across the shoulder to hold them up, with worn out shoes on one end and a slouch hat on the other, and an empty, careworn appetite in the middle may be the editor of your paper, while the man with the new clothes and patent leather shoes may simply be one of his delinquent sub- scribers.
The Green Forest tribune., 1902-07-12

CONGRESS has adjourned. It was the 57th. The country al- ways feels easier when the mem- bers return to their homes. We do not remember that any of the lower house came to blows. There may have been some acrimonious debates, as there always will be among men of strong passions and varying opinions, but it re- mained with the potent, grave and reverend seigneurs of the senate to do the barroom scrapping act. Doubtless all the participants are sorry by this time, and let us hope they will never err again in this direction.
The Green Forest tribune., 1902-07-12

Collector J. Fl. Jackson of Car roll county came in last week on the Choctaw from BerryvllIe. Jackson is the second collector to make settlement with the state this year and is altogether a rec rd-breaking official. Consider- ing that four years ago G Carroil rra county owed exceeding S3o, ,OOO, it would have been surprise under ordinary conditions for the excellent officials of this spledld county to have so managed mat ters that the county would have been halfway out of debt at this time. MT. Jackson says that when he makes his final settle- ment at the close of his term this fall the county will be out of debt, with money in the treas ury.
