II. & IL. Deer's Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Feb. 14.-Liverpool was
influenced unfavorably by the large
receipts, and our market in sympathy
opened to 4 points lower. declined
to additional on bearish statistics,
closing at net loss of to Z points
on the day. The amount brought into
sight during the week was 10000 in
excess of last year, and the total mar
keted from Sept. l to date shows an
increase of 352, 900 over last year There
fore as the growth last season was
10,519000, and assuming that there is
no more cotton in the South than there
was then, the movement on its face
points to a crop of 10, 81 900 the in
terror towns received $4,000, against
100000 last year; but if Houston is
eliminated, the other % towns aggre>
gate $4,000. against SO, 1000 The total
stocks held by these towns are LOG, 900
less than last year. This difference
has been practically maintained for
ever seven weeks, demonstrating that
the amount brought into sight during
the time has been from plantations,
and not at the expense of counted in
terror towns stock. The total stock
or American ashore and afioat to Liv-
erpool is 1,169,000 an increase of 327,-
900 over last year, and 49,, 900 over year
before last The visible supply of
American gained $4,000 relative over
last year during the week and the
aggregate to date shows an increase
Of S41,0 900 over last year. The facts
do not bear out the assertions and
theories of short crop advocates who
have been looking for a perpendicular
falling off in the movement for six or
seven weeks. Sentiment, however.
continues very bullish. Still the re-
celpts Will ultima tely govern the fu-
ture course of the market

Leasthy Session But Nothing Accomplished

There was a lively tilt at the City Coun-
ell Monday night 70 decide whether the
sidewalks ON Main street should remain
as they are 10 #. or be extended to II IT,
Every member was present. Messrs
Jones. Dannehl Chancellor. Mills. Perry
and Revere were for the present width
aud Messrs Cole Embrey. McCrackeu.
WrOten. Rowe and Wallace for eNten-
sion Mr. Embrey chairman of the Joint
committee submitted q report recon-
mending the extension OF the sidewalk
on each side of the street which would
reduce the width of the street from - to
II feet Mr. Jones then presented a petit
ton signed by a number of property
owners and business men on Main St
protesting against the charge and spoke
against the committee report.
Mr. Dannehl offered an amendment to
the effect that there should be no change
in the width of the sidewalks between
Commerce and Hanover streets. leaving
il TO the discretion of the committee as
TO the balance Of Main st. Mr.. Embrey
in speech charged that the signers of
the Jones petition were opposed TO any
improvements. and took this method to
prevent il. and said If the extension was
not made every tree on Main St. would
have 70 come down. Mr.. Jones, offered
a further amendment TO Mr.. Dannehls
proposition opposing any change from
Commerce St. to the railroad.
Mr. Cole criticised the action OF Mr.
Jones rs n member of the City Council in
getting up the petition against the pro-
posed change, saying such action was
never before known in his p years ex-
perience in the body Mr. McCracken
also criticised the action OF Mr. Jones, to
which MIR. Jones retorted by saying il
was done in the interest of the future OF
the city. and as TO right in the matter.
he had more right TO do this than some
members have to vote for themselves for
position in the body
At this Mr. McCracken warmed up and
explained the circumstances under with
ne voted for himself a. Recorder two
years ago and turning to Mr.. Jones said
lit was by your advice ! did so. and IL
comes with i'll grace from you two years
after TO taunt me about it He said
the Council should consider well before
il followed the advice of MIR Jones in the
present case. Mr.. Jones pleasantly re-
piled that he did not regret having ad-
vised Capt. McCracken to vote for him
self at the time stated and under the
circumstances. as he had proved an ell
cient officer.
The vote was taken on the Dannehl
amendment which was lost by vote oil
six to six and the Jones amendment was
/ lost by the same vote and then the re
port of the committee met the same fate
MIR. Embrey asked that the Mayor al
the vote was a tie. decide the question
when his Honor stated that the report
of the Committee was in conflict with an
existing ordinance which would have e
be repealed before the report could be
adopted. This occasioned much surprise
and Mr.. McCracken asked his honor why
he had not stated this before and avoid
ed the lengthy session. The Council then
adjourned
