 Continued large recsipt at the ports in spite of some falling off at the interior towns crop estimates running in some cases as high as II ,00O, 900 bales; the fact that the average estimate by the members of the New York Cotton Exchange is 1s.3210e0 bales: persistent selling by large spot houses who are understood to have sold December and January freely mainly with the view, as most people here think. of preventing the shipment of large quantities of cotton to New York
 Futures here have recently on the whole advanced more rapidly than spot prices at the South. The weather at the South moreover has continued in the main favora- ble and. rightly or wrongly. the tendency of late has been to increase the crop esti- mates. However there has been persistent buying for rise, led by wall Street houses on the idea that the cotton business Is bound to improve with trade all over the country.

News from the northwest furnished the principal reason for the firm journal which claimed that the condition Of the fall sown crop of wheat is much below that of year age and that the acreage is considerably smaller had some effect Re- ports from Minneapolis claimed that receipts of wheat at country stations In the interior showed marked falling off and that aFriV- ais at Minneapolis and Duluth would soon reflect this decreased movement.
 Fresh news regarding the Argentine crop was meager but one despatch stated that weather conditions were favorable for har- vesting. Demand for cash wheat here was tame and a poor demand was also reported export business aggregatiug 7b boat loads but g large part of this was said to have NNa1NAD winter storage ct Buffalo. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 1884 cars, against soc last week and 1,646 year ago.
 Increased offerings of corn from Illinois ana Iowa caused weakness in the corn mar ket but the volume of trade was small. The market was also bearishly affected by a decline of h@Ac in the price of the cash grain due largely to slack dernand by exporters and eastern shippers. There was considerable selling pressure on the De- cember delivery by local holders which resulted in wiping out its premium over the May option. The market closed weak with price h@Ac lower.

The close was steady with price M@&c below the previous close. final quotations on Decen- ber being at 4S%c and on May at 5OMc. Local receipts 102 cars.
 Provisions displayed moderate weakness on selling by local and western packers bas- ed on continued liberal receipts of live hogs at all packing centers. The weakness of corn had some effect. Prices at the close were unchanged to 22hc lower.
 The custom of giving estimated receipts for tomorrow has been discontinued.

New Orleans. Nov 27.-Spot cotton steady unchanged. Middling 1-1sc. Sales on the spot 2.3eO bales; to arrive 2,425.
 Futures opened steady at decline or two to four points In response to eearish cable messages regarding the state of trade in Manchester. London's low quotation on silver also affected prices. which declined until the active months were four to seven points lower than Wednesdays closing.
 From this level there was a recovery until prices stood unchanged to two points up net The market was dull all day long and traders were disposed to curtail ope- rations because of the nearness of two im- portant government reports, one on ginning and the other an estimate of the yield . The market closed steady with prices showing a net decline of two to four points.

Orders Better Food Inspection.

At meeting of the Board of Health
of the city Thursday afternoon, a
movement was inaugurated to i'm
prove the sanitary condition of the
city. A resolution was PISSED in which
the board insists that every home in
the city that is within 800 feet of
sewer must connect with the sewer at
once. There is already an ordinance
requiring this, but it is not being
strictly enforced, and 1t was the sense
of the board that it should be. The
resolution also called for a daily in
spection of the meat shop, restaurants
and places where foodstuffs are kept.
This will be radical change if it Is
enforced, as the inspection is not made
regularly now. The resolution also
calls for a special officerr to inspect
the dairies from which milk for the
city is furnished, as to sanitary condi-
ton, also the health Of the cows and
of the people who do the milking and
have charge Of the milk until it is de
livered. This, it is said, will necessi-
tate sending an officer to Carlisle and
other places out of town where dali
ries that furnish milk for this city are
located.
The board ordered several pools of
stagnant water in the city filled with
in 80 days.
The action of the board came as the
first action on the message of Mayor
Hollis to the council in which he rec
commended just such action as was
taken by the board.

from a trip to the state farm, where
he inspected the work that is being
done by the convicts on the ievee and
the cotton crop. stated that he would
ask the Penitentiary Board to send
about 200 more convicts to the farm,
if possible, to help hoe the cotton.
which has already been planted, and
which is now being narrowed. There
are already 230 convicts at the farm,
but Superintendent Pitcock states that
1t will be necessary to almost double
the force when it comes time to hoe
the cotton. 1t is thought that the
cotton will be ready to be hoed about
next week
The extra convicts for the farm will
be taken from the convict contractors,
who are obliged, under the terms of
their contracts, to give up convicts
when so ordered by the board A few
months ago the board took about so
COlNlCLS away from one OF the CODtraC-
tors and sent them to the farm to as
sist in the work of picking the last
crop of cotton.
About 400 more acres at the state
farm will be put out in cotton this
year than last. Superintendent Pit
cock estimates that between $500 and
5000 acres will be planted in cotton.
A portion of the new cotton land was
formerly planted in corn. There will
be but about 100 acres planted in
corn this season.
Mr.. Pitcock reports that favorable
progress is being made by the con-
victs in the work of building up the
levee at the farm The old levee is
being built about three or four feet
higher. When completed it will stand
about IL feet higher than the top of
the natural bank, or about % feet
above the level of the river when the
latter is at its ordinary stage Forty
convicts are employed in building up

Governor Makes Last Appointment

Governor Pindall has completed the
list of appointments to the st. Fran
els Levee Board when he reappointed
Walter Higinbothem as representative
from Craighead county and appointed
J. r. Wigginton to succeed j. r. Clan
ton as director from Poinsett county.
In all, the governor has appointed nino
directors in the past two weeks. He
is supposed to appoint eight a year,
but he had nine vacancies to fill this
spring. owing to the resignation or
John Lovewell, who was a director
from Mississippi county.
The entire nine appointments are as
follows; ], r. Bush of Phillips county,
A. H. Hammett of Cross county, Tom
A Buford of st. Francis county, VIII
Eberhart of Mississippi county, Hugh
Tomlison of Mississippi county, DR..
J. NJ. McVee of Crittenden county,
Walter Higginbotham of Craighead
county, ]. r. Wigginton of Poinsett
county, H. F. Robson of Lee county.
Two directors were appointed from
Mississippi county on account of Mr..
Lovewells resignation.
Six of the foregoing, Messrs. Bush.
Hammett, Buford, Tomlson, Higgin-
botham and Robson, were reappoint-
ed. The other three are new men.
The six men reappointed were form
erly known as staunch Jeff Davis sup
porters, but they revolted when Sen
ator Davis came back to Arkansas to
take the stump in support of w F.
Kirby's candidacy for governor. They
were not for Kirby and asked Davis to
keep hands off. This Davis refused to
do, however, and the levee board men
threw their strength to Donaghey, who
was being backed by Governor Pin
dali and his friends, and it was gener-
ally understood at the time that the
former Davis men on the board would
be reappointed if they carried eastern
Arkansas for Donaghey, which they
did. So it happens that six out OF
nine directors were reappointed, and
are now known as Pindall men.
