EdITOR WORLD:-In last weeks pa
per 1 real the assault on Mr.. Kline. j
am very sorry that such an occurrence
should take place in our county seat.
But I read with pleasure the Worlds
statement, that it is time that some
thing should be done to bring the
town up to better moral standard.
While / think criminals should be
punished, l also think the people of
Wa-Keeney will be held to account
for permitting evil influences to exist
which they can just as well be rid of.
Why can we not have county seat
to be proud of?
When 1 first saw Wa-Keeney it was
fourteen years ago-there has been a
great change. Then one-horse cart
was luxury; work was scarce; people
had the blues. Now I see the town
building up; buggies and carriages
drive through the streets; machinery
shipped in by the carloads; work is
should be happy.
Surely, the Lord was in this place,
but fear we knew it not.
do not mean to say that Wa-Kee-
ney is worse than other towns. but /
do believe t-can be better.
We have voted for a County High
School for which we are very thank
full as / have children whom / hope
will profit by it, but 1 would be much
more thanful for less influence-that
is to saw the least very degrading.
All work brings its own reward:
where the seeds of evil are sown we
reap confusion, but it is in our power
to SOW the good seed and reap golden
harvest. OLD SUBSCRIBER.

Caldwell g Wards Grain Letter.

BY Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
Chicago, March 1S.-Wheat ruled very
weak today. Professionals were the buy
ers on dry weather in Kansas and Okla
homa, but the market failed to respond
these purchases were thrown over. High
price holdings came out on the decline on
stop loss orders. English cables reported
the Argentine strike as settled. Wheat
has had a very sharp break the past two
days and on any further decline should
be a purchase for reaction. Liverpool
closed unchanged. Estimated receipts to-
morrow, 20 cars.
Corn offerings were light during the
early trade and prices were marked up
sharply on little business. Big shorts
were buyers on the adverse opinion of the
board of trade legal adviser regarding the
proposed rule making number corn de-
liverable on contract The cash situation
Is unchanged. Demand is very poor and
all grades Of local receipts, excepting the
do grade" from 1c to 11ac lower on the
sample tables. Liverpool closed &c high
err
Provisions-The trade In provisions was
large with the selling of July ribs by COM
mission houses conspicuous figure.
Liquidation was general in all products.
The buying of May lard on the break was
attributed to packers. More liquidation
will be necessary before we can advise
purchases. Estimated receipts tomorrow

Caldwell & Wards Cotton Letter.

by III. ana Is. Beer.
New Orleans, March 1S-Notwithstand-
ing Liverpool advices were better than
expected, our market opened to 7 points
lower, subsequently became easier on the
continued free movement in the interior
and lack of demand for spots Shortly
after noon report that Messrs Daniel J.
Sully & Co. of New York had failed ae-
centuated the weakness prevalent, &C.
casioning sharp and rapid break of
ia to 1872 from the top Shorts covering
forced an advance of 20 points from the
bottom. Near the close values again re-
coded, making the net loss 16S points on
old crop months and SO to SO on the new
The amount brought into sight for the
week was $4,000 against 1852, 900 last year,
and the total marketed from September
to date has been 24.000 against 9.274, 900,
or 100000 less. The 81 leading interior
towns received 1900 during the week
against 5000 last year and their aggregate
stock is 279,0O0 against 250.0OO last year.
Yesterday we called attention to the fact
that large quantities of cotton were for
sale on all steady periods, both here and
in New York, making traders infer that
a strong bear pool had been formed, or
that the bulls were selling out. This has
been going on for week, and the culmin-
alton came today when 1t was announced
that the leading New York bull firm, with
connections in New Orleans, had suspend
ed AS the senior member has been iden-
titled with supporting the market heavily
The announcement of the suspension of the
firm naturally occasoned a marked de-
cline. The elimination of enormous
weak long interest places the market in a
better position, but 1t Is essential to have
a good spot demand from spinners on a
basis to give stability to values We have
repeatedly called attention to the maniD-
ulative tactics INDUCED In by enthusiasts.
who bid our market to the highest rela-
tive level in the world, thereby prevent
ing legitimate dealers from transacting
business. and for the second time this
season they have succeeded in precipitat-
ing a disastrous decline, If the crop Is a 8
small, and the consumption as large as
claimed. it required no artificial means to
advance prices. When these features are
demonstrated the article will bull itself.
In the meanwhile manipuators disrupt
business and defeat the legitimate en-
hancement that the article would be en-
titled to. IL their contentious are correct.
From the two unfortunate experiences
derived from these tactics this season IL
is to be hoped that in the future supply
and demand will regulate the market.
There Is no doubt that efforts will be
made in this direction. Reviewing the sit
uation, statistics are undoubtedly strong.
and after a decline of over cents a
pound a reaction ought to be in order,
especially II spirners decide to buy spots
at the existing level.
