| The ERA recently suggested that steps be taken towards organizing a [ SesfTon seemed to be well received by the public but so far no steps have
 been taken for its specialization. All recognize the absolute necessity for a high-schOol, but if no effort is made it cannot be had. Under the law two or
 more districts can be joined together
 Tor high-schOol purposes, which would
 seem to be the proper thing for Cliff
 ton, as the school wodld naturally be
 patronized from both the districts.
 The south district will have room to
 spare in its beautiful new school
 building which will soon be completed.
 In the older district the building is
 now pretty well occupied. However.
 this is only d detail, which could be
 arranged by the school directors.
 Either school building would be satis-
 factory to the pupils of both districts.
 The important thing is to get the school started during the present year, and as the tax levy is made in July no time should be lost in getting the dis trtct organized. Perhaps one teacher would be sufficient for the first year, hence the expense would not he heavy. Clifton now has two good school houses. and two corps of excellent teachers, and from this time on there will be many children who must be denied higher education. OF sent away to other schools. But few people here can afford to send their children away to school, but if high school should be established here nearly all Of them who have passed through the | eighth grade would attend. Surely i the community as a whole owes enough | to the rising generation to equip it | properly for the battles Of life. Let our enterprising citizens express themselves on this question. The of the ERA are always open | to them.

It was apparent, however that there was a feeling of uneasiness, which soon brought about g stampede, causing break of I52@IS0 from the top.

From the highest level reached the market has declined about ccnts and the drastic liquidation, (which has taken place undoubtedly places the market in healthier condition. It only proves that local opera tors must not be carried away with optimism and pay no regard to legitimate differences or unfavorablc outside features It is to be hoped that the recent heavy braak will have tendency to make traders pursue q more conservative policy, and allow the market to be ruled by legitimate influences If the crup is short believed by the majority oC op- orators. 1t will require no manipulativc tactics t0 maintain values. Many of the opinion that is discounted, and late cables received from Liverpool today say that busi- ness in Manchester is being resumed on basis of 7i2d. The general opinion there Is liquidation is complete and everything discount cd Including war. The position of cotton on its own merits Is healthy and that lower prices will increase consumption. While all these thinGs may prove to be correct and while the market is healthier now. and may eventually be forced higher than ever. nevertheless we deem it advisable to still be cautious and op- crate on very conservative lines long the war cloud in the East is hanging over the market.

 NEW YORK. Feb 5.-Not much more can ka said of cotton than has already been said, fnasrnlch as the break which noted today xas quite similar to that of previous days of late May dropped 5 points during the fore noon, and the July option dropped 5l great excitement attending the sensational decline On the lower levels, shorts good buyers and the demand from this source resulted in some recovery. but general thing the mar ket continued quite uncertain and feverish throughout the day and on the close the i'm pressions in conservative circles were as con Acting as at any recent time. The selling at times today heavy that the market appeared to be utterly demoralized. There was d renewal of the talk that the bull element had sold out and that the forthcoming census bu- reau report would be bearish. Panicky condi- fSons as noted render definite position useless at the moment, and naturally the news factors attracted but little attention. The weekend efatistics were generally about as expected and the Southern advices were simply rope tffion of the features. noted on previous days of late. The spot markets were quiet today sn view of the light demand, the latter being held back in consequence of the uncertainties ia the future market. On the close of the mar kgA there was uncertain nervous feeling The estimated port receipts for the day were 10000 against 24,937 for the same day last year.

 NEW YORK. Feb 5.-It is hardly necessary 10 go into details regarding the events of the week fin the cotton world. The entire com plexion of things has been changed and de- veiopments have been of very sensational nature. The Northern leader. either as a re- suit of his foresight or through pressure brought to bear by the moneyed interests he represents determined to get out while there was stil market in which big line of cotton could be hquldated. We need not go fngo n discussion of the motives which led up f0 this step. Sufficient say that on Tues day the rumor spread that Mfr Sully had sold out. This news was sent oyer our wires within a few minutes after the fact was known te be than a canard and while prices were over v cents. The whole cotton sItua- fi0n changed from that moment. This has benn ito expectation for time There was nothing legitimate in the last advance of 9 cents and 1t was simply a marking up process As bong as all the bull leaders stood nat there was no cause for anxiety. The moment any change came. it was evident there would t5 a collapse. New Orleans was evidently lagt in the Iurch this time Our natural pride fa the supremacy of the New York market lrakes us far from sorry that honors l!e in fhIe direction. When the selling began, m. nower could stop the decline. not even the IHank of England. when the time is ripe fjg as crash.

 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 5.-Cotton took per ilous slide today and veteran traders saw the necessity of blocking the way to prevent a precipitation 10 frightful depths, which they did unhesitatngly and established steady tone that had more appearance of healthiness about it than has been observed in the recent past Thus experience and conservatism again ale viated the effect of overdarinG speculation and provided an escape for chose who heretofore could only look in one direction. Foreign ad- vices were somewhat of an encouraging tenor. Liverpool passed through severe liquidation, but the opinion was expressed that the selling pressure had ceased and any further decline would be conducive to increase in con sumption. In the effort to sell here, however. all external considerations ignored. Of terings carried May delivery down to l4. 5 as compared with 1861 last evening, the dcprc- citation over night amounting to S7.3o per bale, and the depreciation since Monday when May touched l792. the high point of the sea son thus far. amounted to 377 points on May, the equivalent If SlS.S5 per bale. It is need less to say that with the sight of such rapid and violent price changes. utmost conservatism is the essential policy. Drastic liquidation has doubtless put the market in better shape. but this lesson should dissuade all future ten dcncies toward reckless speculation

MONTGOMERY Ala. Feb. 5.-Thc widest and most excited market ever witnessed on tho cotton exchange has been experienced to- day. The fluctuations in the market have heen most remarkable. On Liverpools surprising opening New York was expected to show de- cline of some 40 points. Instead it opened firm. showing advance and developed some apparent strength during the first half hour
 Sellers seemed to spring forward and an ava lanche of cotton poured into the bulls so fast that it swaiuped them July soon dropped i5o points. selling at 4.lo. Lvcrpoors closing was as weak as it was sensational, being 70
 r73 points below last nights close Reports have it that there was big fight on between the bear and bull leaders with the price brok- CTS in control during the morning. The latter part of the session. however the market has ruled firm showing an advance of 75dSo points and closed then with appearance of higher prices. The in sight movement for tho week is about 38. 900 bales less than last year. Reports in the South show a decline in spots ranging from 2i cent cotton to IH cent with little offered and practically sales at these prices. New York spots 75 points del cline to basis of | 5. 50. Or New Yorks close Liverpool is due to 26 points up Satur- day.
