PLAN FoR EQUALIZING TAXES.
Representative Doar. OF Georgetown
Has New Proposition.

Columbia, Jan. 21.--Mr. Doar
thinks he has plan Of equslixing tax
values that will do the work that 1t
II intended to do, Mr.. Doar's plan is
to pass Joint resolution to appoint a
commission to fix rate Of taxes on
all lands within the State on the
basis of population. For instance, If
a town of 5000 situated in the Pee
Dee section, and q town Of 5000 situ-
ated in the Piedmont section. the
valuation on cultivated. uncultivated
and timbered lands would be the
same. The greater the population
the higher the price of land. Land ad-
1acent to towns and cities would be
hxed at a greater value than IL it
were farther out. When this COM
mission fixes the valuation in tabulat-
ed form 1t would apply to all sections
Of the State. Land one or two miles
from Georgetown would be fixed at
the same rate as a town Of same size
in the Piedmont.

MILLS WATCH MARKET.
BUYY FUTURES HEAVILY But
ACTUAL COTTON SPARINGLY.

Tendency Which Was at One Time
Too Bullish is Now Thought to IN
cline Too Strongly to Bear Side.
New York. Jan. 21.-Prices show a
small net improvement for the week,
but confidence in the stability Of
prices has been seriously shaken by
the recent decline Of 1880 a bale.
Spinnacs have been buying futures
pretty heavily during the last week
or IL days but to all appearances
they have stuck to their policy of
buying the actual cotton on very
sparing scale.
1t is evident, however, that about
10000 bales Of the New York supply
will be shipped by representatives of
James A. Patton to Southern mills
On one or two days spot sales at
Liverpool have increased but taken
as whole spinners at home and
abroad seem more encouraged than
ever to play waiting game. Yet
advices from Manchester are to the
effect that there is an increasing de-
'mand for cotton goods from India.
Western Wall street and Southern
liquidation during the last two weeks
has been on so thoroughgoing scale
that the technical situation has been
greatly improved, especially as much
Of the cotton thus liquidated has gone
into the hands Of spinners and ex-
porters. For the first time in near
ly two months exporters have been
able to secure cotton on an export
basis. Then, too, the short interest
has lately increased materially. Some
think, indeed, that the tendency
which was at one time to overdo the
bull side has now gone to the other
extreme and that there are too many
bears.
The spot markets have yielded
grudingly as the spot holder fights
the decline in futures. Speculation
has been overdone and prices have
collapsed but 1t is maintained by the
believers in an ultimate advance that
the fundamental situation remains
absolutely unchanged. That is to
say it is still urged that there is a
disparity between the probable crop
and the probable consumption Of any
where from 100000 to 100000
bales. At the same time speculation
has received decided check. Sew
eral failures in Wall street, including
one Of house which was q member
