It
seems that some
English cotton spinners, particularly the joint-stock companies at Oldham, have found a great quantity of sand
and plantation dust in the cotton they have used in the
last year or two, and the charge is flippantly made that
this heavy " waste" was put in or left in the cotton for the
purpose of fraud. We see it even announced that the
attention of the United States Consul has been called to

that he report them to his Government at home

quantities of this waste in bales may bo detected also by
comparing the size and weight of the bales with the siae
and weight of bales of clean cotton. When a bale of the
average size and solidity of 480 lb. bales of clean cotton,
is found to weigh 600 lbs. or more, the buyer is put upon
inquiry for sand.
Some American spinners use cotton of a very low
grade, having leaf trash, dust, or sand, or all of these.
They have learned
to place its true value upon it, a price
which gives the clean fibre in yarn at a cost so far below
the cost of like yarn from clean cotton that they are paid
for extra labor and for injury to machinery from the
adhering dust, with a profit over.

Since harvest, a period of
quarters and 146,200 quarters.
In transmission the word "have" was in some way sub- eleven weeks, the sales in the 150 principal markets have been
stituted for '• home," so that as delivered the message 492,525 quarters, against 438.909 quarters and 247,853 quarters;
being 1,970,100 quarters,
read: "Sold block 4, 5 and 6 and have place for," &c. the estimate for the whole kingdom

:
The
report of the case gives no explanation of the mean-
nor of the way in which the error caused damage.
The case was argued and decided on the simple ground
ing,
against 1,755,700 quarters in the corresponding period of last
season and 992,620 quarters in 1879. Without reckoning the
supplies of produce furnished ex-granary at the commencement
of the season,
estimated that the following qnantities ol
it is
company had the right, by means of a stipulation wheat and flour have been placed upon the British markets
embodied in their printed blank, to limit the damages since harvest. The visible supply of wheat in the United States
recoverable for error, unless the sender would pay extra is also given:

are further of opinion that the mere fa«t that there

We have received from the publishers (the Railway Age,
Chicago) a handsome volume of over 400 pages, entitled " The
Baggage, Parcel and Mail Traffic of Railroads," by Mr. Marshall M. Kirkman. Mr. Kirkman has written several books on
subjects connected with railroads, and this, his latest work, will
no doubt prove as desirable as his previous ones. The price
is $2 50.

refused to declare a forfeiture of the contract upon the grounds
of not working with due diligence and because of discriminations by the Richmond & Danville Company against North

Vance. Senator Vance strenuously opposed the extension of

"The Western
Railroad of Alabama— in which we are
interested with the Oeoi^ia Railroad Compaoj—
has been reasonably proeperoas, and we have received
from it $161,000.
Bonds of that company amoanting to
$300,000 fell due on the 1st of Jnly last. Of thesn, $269,000
have been paid by this company and are held for fatare adjustment with the Georgia Railroad Company. There are yet
outstanding $1,808,000, bonds of the Western Railroad of
Alabama. Of these $636,000 are dne in 1888 and $1,167,000 in
1890.
The board have had under consideration the organization of the Western Railroad of Alabama as a corapanr, and
then for it to issue bonds to reimburse oar company for the
payments that have been made on accoont of it. This will
require the cooperation of the Georgia Railroad Company,
which it is not doubted will be readily obtained." * • *
" Id view of the fact that dividends have been withheld from
the stockholders and the money expended in con8';racting and
improving the property of the company, the lK)ard of directors daring the past year concluded that it would be iost to
make a distribution of del)enture8, or certificates of indebtedness, among the stockholders, to compensate somewhat for the
interest which they were fairly entitled to upon the original
investment. Acting upon this view it was determined to UMue
detientures to the extent of 40 per cent on the capital stock of
this company, and under the terms of the lease of the Southwestern Railroad, its stock was entitled to 32 per cent. To periointly
sons not familiar with the past history of this
company
it
may
appear that this operated as a virtual watering ot the stock,
whereas in point of fact it has not t>een eqnal to the amount
due the stock, allowing only 7 per cent per annum simple
interest.
This is demonstrated from recoros of the company
ind is illustrated by an original subscription to the stock ma^
by tbe late George B. Cumming, Esq. This stock has been
credited with every dividend from the inception of the company, and is equal to dividends of onl^ about 6 6-10 per cent
per annum on the investment, and lacking 60 per cent on the
stock of paying 7 per cent per annum, simple interest, on the
amount subscribed."

Included in this amount there are 300 bales at presses for foreign
ports, the destina.ion of wliioh we oaonoc learn.
The course of business the past week has been interrupted by
a close holiday (Thanksgiving, November 24). The speculation
in futures was moderately active at variable prices. On Saturday
a very low estimate of the current crop, put forth with much detail and many concurrent opinions, caused the recovery of most
of the decline of last Friday. Some adverse reports regarding
the prospects of the top crop had also an influence in the same
direction.
But on Monday the very large receipts at the ports
(over 60,000 bales, against about 40,000 bales for the corresponding day last year) caused a decline. Tuesday was variable and
weak till toward its close, when a demand to cover contractu
promoted a slight advance in futures. On Wednesday weak
accounts at Liverpool, and the indications which were apparent
on all sides that a free movement of the crop was taking place
the effect in part of money pressure caused a decline. On
Thursday it was severely cold over a large portion of the cottongrowing region, doubtless putting a stop to growth of the staple
for this season in a consiierable section. To-day there was an
early decline, but the close was dearer on port reoeipts and
strong Liverpool advices. Cotton on the spot advanced l-16c.
on Saturday and declined l-16c. on Monday. On Wednesday
while uplands were unchanged Gulfs were advanced l-16c.,
putting middlings of the two growths 5-1 6c. apart, a much
wider difference than usual. To-day the market was quiet and
unchanged.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 674,400
bales.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up thig week
5,866 bales, including 2,082 for export, 2,524 tor consumption,
in transit. Of the above, 320 bale*
1,260 for speculation and
were to arrive.
The following are the official quotations and
sales for ?ach day of the past week.

ber •' comer" to the level of valaea Jnadfled by the

nuelUad
at the opening of October. Daring the flmt elefen
dara.
although a fair amount of boaioeM wa« done, the tendenor
of
pricej wa» rapidly downward^ owln» to the preware
to aeU
oooMioned by the heavy tenders made againat October deliver,
lea.
An impreaeion bad existed that the operator* interMt<Hl
in the HeDtember sqneeze woald not allow prieea to
run down
much in October, and confidenee in thU belief wa« well maintained daring the first two or three days of the month;
bat
sabseqaently it becain.; apparent that the September operators
were golnir «> unload (as the phrase is) in October. Thta ooeasioned considerable disappointment amongst the "bulla";
especially as monetary affairH suddenly took a very thrmtanlnr
turn: there being apprehensiona of a further advance In the
Bank rate, which has already been raised to 5 per oent. The
consequence was a general rush to sell (notably between the 4th
and nth of the month); and a decline of 6-18d. in the lower,
an«l 5id. in the medium, grades of American on the spot,
7-18d.
for October deliveries, and 3-16d. to 6-16d. for other futures.
ITbe fall freightened the weak holders of Octobers, and they
almost tambled over each other in their efforts to "get out."
very pessimist view was taken of the immediate fature of the
market, owing to the troubles which it was expected would arise
out of the decline which had taken place in prices, and to the
difficulties which it wa.s anticipated would, with dear money,
be experienced in financing. Middling upland on the apot
sank to 6%d., and Ocfuber deliveries were sold freely at S 8-16.,
with a few transactions in "back dates" at G>6d., and it waa
confidently expected that 6d. woald be seen before the cloee of
the month. Meanwhile, business in Manchester was fairly
active, the fall in the price of cotton causing producers tu sell
freely at only a trifling decline from previous rates. This led
to active buying here, and much of the cheap Octobers were
purchased by spinners. Moreover, the low prices brought in a
new set of speculators with ample monetary facilities. The
refjult was a decidedly firmer tone on the 12th and 13th, and a
recovery of 5-32d. for Octobers, and 3-32d. to %A. for other
positions. A farther deluge of tenders caused a reaction of
%A. to 3-lGd. between the 13th and 18th, and once more Octobers were selling at 6 3-16d., but the fall was recovered in the
coarse of the subsequent week; the quotations on the 25th
being 6 7-16d. on the spot, 6%d. for Octobers, and 6Jid. to
6Md. for distant cotton. Since then there have been numeroas
slight fluctuations, but very little net change; the final prices
being about the same as those current on the 13th ult., say
6 7-16d. for spot, 6 13-32d. for near futures, and 6 9-16d. to
6 ll-16d. for more distant positions, which may be accepted as
being about the rates which would have been witnessed in September without the influence of any squeeze.
Compared with the rates raliag in the afternoon of the 30th
September, the prices current to-day show a decline of %A. ia
good ordinary, %A. to %d. in low middling, ll-16d. to 13-I6d.
A
middling and good middling American, l-16d. to Hd. in
Brazils and Bast Indian, but an advance of ^d. in brown, and
partially Md. in white, Egyptian.
The following is an account of the principal fluctuations since
end of September in the price of middling upland on the spot
and for forward delivery:

OOUBSE OP THE MASCHE3TEB MARKET, OCT. 1 TO HOV. 9.
The month opened tamely, and for a fortnight or so there
were no indications of the reaewed activity which had been
expected to show itself after the disturbance to boaineM occasioned by the September "comer"; and prices gave way Xd. to
^d. per lb. in yarn, and about lJ6d. to 3d. per piece in the carrent makes of shirtings. The fill in prices led to moi-e Inquiry
and brought out many orders previously kept back. Daring
the past three weeks, therefore, a very good bu.sines-s has been
done, the generally quiet appearance of the market notwithstanding, and fully half of the decline just quoted is recovered;
the final rates being only ^d. in the me<lium count* of yam
and partially l>6d. per piece in 7 lb. to 8/< lb. shirtings lower
than the prices current at the end of September. The market
closes firmly, and producers are mostly under contract until the
new
year.

deliveries to American spinners in September and October
amounted to about 394,000 bales, against 313,000 last season,
including 139,(i00, against 75,000 bales sent overland. The surplus stock at the mills on September 1 was about 27,000 bales,
against 50,000 a year previously, thus giving a total supply of
421,000 bales, against 363,000, or an increase of 68,000 bales.
The rate of consumption is probably 2,000 bales per week more

BREADSTUFFS.
nsual in a holiday week, there has not been much disposition to
do business among the trade, while shippers have found little
encouragement to extend their operations. Buyers seem to
think that the condition and prospects of the money market
them the control of the market, at least until after
the holidays, and they are therefore in no hurry to fill orders
that can wait
The production is large, but the high prices
ci " vegetables" no doubt causes some increase in consump-
will give
tion.
Eye Hour has been dull, and corn meal has declined.
To-day the market was dull, but closed about steady.
The wheat market has been very unsettled. The export and
milling demand has been small, and the financial diflieulties
in
the way of carrying stocks in store have caused some pressure
with receipts very small at all points and stocks
not accumulating, the decline has been quite moderate. The
circular of Messrs. C. A. King & Co., Toledo, estimates the supply of wheat for the United States for the fiscal year, which
began on the 1st of July last, as follows:
U. S. Agricultural Bureau, November estimate present
cron
398,000,000 bushels; surplus of crop of 1880 on Pacific slope
30
bushels;
total
000,000
supply, 428,000,000 bushels. The extent
of the demand is given thus: United States annual consumotion, 260,000,000 bushels;: July 1 to Nov. 1, 86,666,666
bushebseed requirements next crop, 36,000,000 acres at 1^ bushels
per acre, 54,000,000 bushels; exports during past four months
flour to wheat, 50,664.000 bushels; visible supply now
lareer
than on July 1, 5,000,000 bushels; amount disposed of
from
July 1, 1881, to November 1, 196,333,666 bushels; amount remaining Nov. 1, 231,669,334 bushels; showing that over
half
the crop is still back in the country. Estimating that
the
home consumption demand during the last eight months of the
crop year will be 173,333,334 bushels, on the basis of 5
bushels
per capita for the entire year, it would leave 58,336,000
bushels
surplus for export during the eight months from Nov 1
