General Manager A. L. Rives, in his report, fays " In view

Southern States are contemplating a change of gauge from
five feet to four feet nine inches, preparations have beej made
and are making which will enable us to take f imilpr action
with the maximum economy at the proper time. I am satisfied that such change, when accomplislie<l. will result in an

for future delivery at this market.
Fluctuations have hecw very wide, and on one day (Monday) the
dealings exceeded in amount any of recent experience. There
appeared on .Saturday reports and deductions therefrom which
pointed to a yield of the current crop falling below .5)^ millioa
bales, with .'5,418,360 bales the favorite estimate.
An excited
speculation for the rise followed in this market and at Liverpool, although experience h.-w shown that these reports and
estimates have pro\-e(l in former years quite untrustworthy.
The market continued to show more or less strength until
toward the close of Tuesda}-, when a report that the (then)
forthcoming Bureau report 5vould point to a crop of about
.'5,800,000 bales; caused a free selling movement, under which
prices ga\'e way rapidly, until they had fallen 21@ 28 points
from the highest figures of the previous Monday. Then came
some recovery, but yesterday the speculative spirit seemed to
l>e entirely wanting, and a marked decline took place, although
the rumors regarding the character of the Bureau report were
not confirmed. To-day the market was very unsettled, advancing and then declining sharply with feverish activity.
The close, as compared with last Friday, was at an irregu'ar
decline for the early months and .September, and some advance for other deliveries. Cotton on the spot has remained
quiet, but stocks are comparatively small and quotations

Reckipts from the Pr..vNTATioNs. — The following table ia
prepare;! for the purpose of indicating tlie actual niovomont each
vcn^k from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sonietiiue.s misleading:, as they are made up more largely one year
tlian another at the expense of the interior stocks.
We roach,
tUeiofore, a s:ifer conclusion through a coaiparativo statement
lilid tho following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that the.se figures, of course, do not include overland receipt.?
or Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
vrhich finally reaches the market through the outports.

ending with Sept. 1, 1884, As is well known, we do not claim
accuracy for these fijures. Tliey have, however, been prepared with as much care as we can give tliem, and we believe
they are ajjproximately correct. Our crop statement published
September 13 made the total crop o,714,0,)3 bales. The distribution between the States we find to be as follows. Previous
years we add for comparison. No one, we hops, will carelessly mistake these results for an estimate by us of this year's
crop. We throw out this hint because last year similar figures
of ours were so used by some of our exchanges.

Indian corn showed more steadiness, and at times a consideralJo increase in strength has been apparent, altliough the
poesibility of a "corner" on December contracts seems to have
been wholly removed. Yesterday there was a pretty good exportdemand, and a brisk speculation caused a fractional advance in prices for the later deliveries. To day, however, there
was a pretty general decline, the secondary qualities of sliii>ping corn alioat showing a marked depression, thy sales including Xo. 3 at 47c.

of wholesale clothiers from Western and near-by markets,
whose presence imparted a little more animation to the market for men's-wear woolens; but business in this department
