Wall FROM NORFOLK.

For reason utterly incomprehensi.
BILE to most persons the name of
Norfolk has come to the efracel
from the list of Atlatnlc coast ports
which occurs In numerous foreign
publications and even from maps
published In this country aud In for.
eign countries.
So far as apears upon the sur.
face this error II 1t Is an error
apears more generally In publica.
lions emanating from English
sources than others. OF late, how
ever. the error, If error 1t be. has
crept into number OF American
publications. Slngularly enough. In
those publications where the name
of this port is not mentioned the
name of Newport News is.
In view of the fact that Norfolk
was world known port hundreds
OF years before Newport News was
settled, ii appears that it may be
reasonably suspected that some In.
tcrest desires to advertise that port
at the cost OF this one. 1t is more
likely Ignorance, however, than de-
sign, this wiping of NorfollSs name
of the map.
Whatever the cause. however, the
cffec; is the same and the prestige
of this port is hurt. That should
not be permitted by the commercial
bodies which have the welfare OF
this port nj heart. True there Is:
no nntngonism between Norfolk and
Newport News, nor Is there room
for that, the interests of the ports
being practically identical but at
the same time both ports should
have II square deal from the map
makers.
Evidence how sor mcorrectoh

ANGRY COTTON GROWERS.

are waging against the New York

question that 1t would be a mighty

ufacturer. In the last few years tho
Exchange has been looked upon as
the enemy of the growers for one
reason, and another, but mainly be.
cause the planter and dealer feel
that they have been deprived of a
great deal of money that was right
fully theirs. because of the trading
done on the Exchange.
The principal complaint is that the
cotton delivered on contracts sold on
the floor is not of the middling grade
or its equivalent, but rotten" com.
modify which cannot be spun, which
is only Fit for making horse collars,
mattresses and the like and on which
the buyer, If he does not dispose OF
his contracts before notice day, must
in some cases lose more than $40 n

In New Orleans, 1t is asserted, cotton

usual course of future trading is al
ways the grade called for in tho con.
tracts. Those who are engaged in the
fight against the Exchange point to

change, they assert, is from 80 to 81
points, or nearly third of cent n
pound. Representative Livingston of
Georgia, who keeps in close touch
with the cotton growers, says that
they have informed him that they
lost about s31,OoO.OOO last year as a
result of the operations of the ex.
change.
There is no douus but that the
planter and manufacturer is injured
to more or less extent by the spec.
ulations of the New York cotton
gamblers, but it will take whole of
damaging evidence to obtain the fraud
order asked for. Can the Southern
PLANTER produce 1t? If he can, there
will be general rejoicing in the cotton
