reasons for this: First. Rear Admiral
Schley and Sampson would thus be
provided for, and the talk of injustice
to Rear Admiral Schley would cease
and the controversy which has been
SO injurious to the navy's reputation
closed forever. The other reason is
that the president desires to give
Capt. Clark, who commanded the Ore
gon, additional recognition for his
conduct in the battle of Santiago, and
for bringing the Oregon so rapidly
from the Pacific coast to Cuban
waters. Raised to rank of vice admi-
raj Capt. Clark would be one of the
highest ranking naval officers at the

The cotton season III this territory
IS drawing to close very rapidly.
The weather has been coed since Sep

crop has practically passed out of the
hands of the farmers
There is less cotton on plantations

Pine Bluff is about the same as last
year, viz. 1000 bales By actual
count less than 1000 of this is in the
hands Of afctors. The other 900 is
owned by buyers and the most Of it is
sold, but is being held for the last
half of January and February ship.
ment The experience Of last year
was rather a costly lesson to the hold
ers of cotton and this year they have
sold very freely. One year ago today
we held in our own warehouse 1875
bales of cotton consigned to |B from
the country, whereas today we have
only 672 bales. The first week in
March last year found this market
with a stock Of 26,487. In our opin
zion we will not have 5000 bales on
the same day this year.
