a. g. Pierce & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

by FrlFBfS WI FTCnl W Lee & 70
 NEW YORK. Feb. 4.--There was a yory wild time ct the opening today when May ran down to 1859. II was quite impossible to trade at times but after the first hour. things stirred up somewhat. Then there was n recovery and May and July recovered above t6 cents. New orleans broke a cent, Liver nonl broke about the same and for time, things looked very bad. This was to be eX- pected after what has happened. What is q break of 2 cents on an advance of cents This does not indicate there Is no more bulls feft In cotton. The end will depend the size of the crop. Gnless receipts are very much smaller than they now. unless the war cloud blows and MT. Sully returns to the bull side. guess the high prices have been seen. There is nothing fin the situation 10 warrant buying at the moment and would only buy big breaks for quick turn. It fs not a market to risk very much money in, 1f the crop proves larger than Ia talked of now it will sell much lower. Thnre may he d better market for time. but the burden of the fight falls on New Orleans. We want to see what becomes uf the March de tiyeries there.

c dwell. Ward & Co.'S Cotton Letter

MONTGOMERY Ala, Feb. 4.-Sensations marked today in the cotton world. Liverpool opened about s5 points lower than expected.
 followed by New York 60 points down, which has kept the trade all at sea, with wild guesseS. On threatening war news from the Far East Egynt and the continent were heavy sellers in Liverpool, putting that market at tune 46 points below yesterday. It ral- lied abou; 30 points below the close. The market has been very nervous and up to the last hour comparatively narrow in it's ftic- tdatoas but renewed war reports caused fur thcr scare. and these who had been good buy CTS during the morning turned sellers. The trade appears to be waiting on developments in the Far East and the bulls loath to take any active part in the market before something definite Is known about the bureau figures which they claim will be bulish. Spot cotton shows a decline of q quarter in the South This is very small and we are advised that little cotton is being offered and sales are only made at full prices. Therefore, this decline can only be temporary. but like many fiuctua- tions this iOnc appears to be exaggerated. On New 1orEs close tonight Liverpool Is due to come 26 points down tomorrow (FriGay) morn- ing.

TIME TO DO SOMETHING.

Shall we have tariff revision? In
dustrial development during the past
seven years has certainly been swift
enough to put some infants beyond
the need of several of the schedules
that now stand. 1t is also true that
whenever protection is found exceeding
the difference in cost of production at
home and the cost abroad, it becomes
burden upon the home consuming
public with no compensatory benefit
save the unreasonable profit made pos
sible to the home producer. Protec-
tive tariffs are not robbery when they
build up industries at home and ask
the foreigner to pay for his entry into
our market merely the difference be-
the cost in this country. They are
not robbery when they shut the for
eigner out entirely, provided there is
sufficient competition among independ-
ent home producers to give the public
it's goods at a fair price, but the mo-
ment combinations and agreements
among home producers eliminate this
home competition, 1t is high time to see
that the schedules protecting such an
industry are not one whit higher than
the difference in cost of production or
else it will be possible for the parties
to said agreement" to do some
robbing.
In this day of trust building and
trade combines the public has become
thoroughly convinced that it is time for
the schedules to be looked after. There
IL no desire to destroy protection, but
rather to ascertain whether or not GER
tain schedules should not be shaved a
little to bring them down to the pro-
tective point, where the opportunity to
rob will not be offered.
To shut ones eyes to such a public
mind and stand pat on the idea that a
popular plurality Of two millions was a
vote to leave things a. they are, would
be blindness gone mad. The people
