Deak Gazette : I promised to give

you a few jottings down from time to

time, whilst on my business tour, i»ut as

yet very little has occurred or l>een ob-

served that i< worth a paragraph in our

usually crowded columns.

The railroad lines from Louisville to

Memphis are in fine running condition,

though a little rough in some places, and

admirably managed. The conductors

and other employes are polite, accom-

modating and vigilant in all their duties.

At Cave City we got a good supper at a

reasonable price, but of the breakfast, at

Paris, the least said the l»etter. "We will

hint, however, to persons contemplating

a journey over this railroad, that if they

will provide themselves with a chunk of

bread and meat, or a cracker and piece

of cheese, they will have a better break-

fast than they can get at the Paris sta-

tion, and save a dollar.

I stopped at the village of Mason, in

Tipton county, a day or two, visited

Covington, the county seat, and spent a

day or two among the adjacent planters.

This is u good cotton region and the cropj

is this year more than an average one;

|

but there is great difficulty in getting

hands enough to pick. Labor is lament-

ably scarce and correspondingly high

—

twenty dollars per month and board

given to good hands, or one dollar per

pound for picking by the job. Every-

thing else is dear in projxjrtion. Ordi-

nary farm horses arc held at $150 to$200

;

corn $5 per barrel;hay |M per ton ; oats

60(5' 75c P°r bushel; flour £17 per barrel

;

bacon 24@ 2«>c per pound. The traveler

is charged at country taverns S3 per day.

besides fifteen to twenty cents each for

cigars, and twenty-five cents a drink for

whisky, if he unfortunately has a weak-

ness for that beverage. Should you be

coming down this way I advise you to

go to Walker's or Anthony's, and get a

supply to last you, you will save moneyby it.

From this immediate region the cotton

is all shipped at present to Memphis, but

I would not be surprised if much of it in

time will not seek the Louisville market.

The planters have heard of the enterpri-e

of Porter, Fairfax & Co., and have in-

quired, with apparent interest, into the

workings of their system. I noticed,

however, at Paris, a lot of cotton ready

for shipment to Louisville, and a house

still further south, (at Rogerville), in-

formed me that several planters in that

neighborhood would send their crops

there also.

I have a list of all the retail business

houses in this region; which I will send

in a future letter.

Our paper is well received hereabouts,

and with proper effort will get a good

circulation in this region. There is no

agricultural or industrial journal pub-

lished in Memphis or Nashville, and as

the people want such a paper, we mustM.

1 Shelby i county. Shelby is a wealthycounty, with various flourishing little

villages and settlements, which may be

regarded in the light of suburbs to Mem-phis. Dut I regard Tipton lan adjoining

county ) as better for planting and agri-

cultural purposes. The cotton crop of

Tipton will this year be a fair one, and I

would not be surprised if some of it is

shipped to Louisville, notwithstanding

its dose approximation to Memphis.There are many thriving business houses

in Tipton, some of which now trade in

Louisville, and several others could easi-

ly be induced to do so. I append a list

of merchants and grocers for the infor-

mation of Louisville houses

rett, C. B. Hall ft Co., W. C. Lightfoot &Co., Daniels ft Hall, Shelton & Barnard,

Throughout all this region cotton is

the staple, and I may say almost the

only product, and the chief topic of con-

versation. Every traveler regrets that

this is so. One cannot eat cotton, and

the table to which you are admitted at

the rate of one dollar per meal would be

much more attractive if the surrounding

fields had less of the fleecy crop and a

few more fruits and vegetables.

The improving character of the news

from Liverpool and New York within

the past three days has had the ell'ect of

advancing the price here, and quotations

are to-day one cent advance on average

prices of la-t week.

I yesterday met a gentleman who had

just returned from an extended trip

through St. Frances and several adjacent

counties in Arkansas, and he informs me]

that crops are in fine condition, that the

planters are busy picking (though they

have not hands sufficient for the work),

and that an average crop may be looked

for from that region. The planters in

the counties spoken of have been very

fortunate this year, both in securing

bands to till the land and in the result,

so far, of their labor. Other portions of

the country have been less blessed. Mr.

Mattingly (formerly of Bardstown >, whohas a plantation in North Mississippi,

tells me the crop of that region will this

year not amount to one half of the aver-

age yield before the war.

Since leaving Kentucky I have not

seen a good field of corn nor a promising

patch of blob potatoes, but the sweet

lK)tato crop is very food hotter than

with us. The corn crop of this region,

never very considerable, is almost a fail-

ure this year. The supply of hogs is also

quite short—hog cholera and other dis-

eases having almost depopulated the

swine of some parts of Tennessee. Bacon

is now selling here in lots at from 25 to

27 cents, and rising. There is no telling

at what figures it will reach during the

winter.

I have had the pleasure of meeting

and renewing u assurances of distin-

guished consideration" with several old

Kentucky friends, who have settled here.

Geo. Dixon, Esq., (son-in-law of Hon.

Ben. Hardin), is Judge of one of the

Courts, and thus rose to eminence in his

profession and in business circles. Dr.

Willett, from Bardstown, is one of the

leading physicians of the city. A. S.

Mitchell, originally from Danville, is

clerk of the Federal District Court. El-

der S. H. Ford, from Louisville, edits a

popular magazine. Birney Marshall, of

the old Louisville Gazette, edits the

Appeal. Dick Wintersmith, from Har-

din, is in the real-estate business with

G. H. Monsarratt. Several other Ken-

tuckians are located here, and I am grat-

ified to learn that they all, without an

exception, are succeeding well in their

several avocations. So mote it ever be.

Cotton, Past and Present.

The cotton famine is now over; supplyand consumption are fast resuming theposition they occupied before the greatderangement erased by the Americancivil war entailed such severe Bufferingupon our artisans, and such heavy losses

on our master manufacturers,; the aggre-gate amount of our imports has grownto lie as large as ever, and even pricesare tending rapidly toward an approachat least to their former level. It is a fit-

ting time, therefore, to take a sort ofbird's-eye view of the terrible disturb-ance, and form a conception of the con-sequences which are likely to remainafter the Btorm that swept over our.-tripleindustry shall have altogether subsided.In 1880 our cotton imports and our con-

sumption of the raw material reachedthe highest figure they have ever attain-ed. The total supply was 8,867,000 bales,

and the weekly consumption was, orseemed to be, 58,600 bales. This year, if

the proportions of the first eight monthsare preserved till the end of December,the importation will amount to upwardsof 4,400,000 bales, anil the weekly con-sumption to about 4s,i!<H) bales. Alreadywe bave received more than three mil-lions of bales. Rut two remarkable dif-

ferences are to be noticed, viz.: thesources from which we obtain our sup-plies, and the prices we pay for them.Let us look at them in turn.

*

Previous to the war the United Stateshabitually furnished about 75 percent, ofour entire population. In lS5'.t and 1S«>0

they sent us 4.688,000 bales out of 6,196,-

090. In 1862 they sent us only 5 per cent,of our supply. In 1866, thus far, theyhave sent us only one million out ofthree, or about 80 per cent. Next year,

of course, their proportion will be fat-

larger. As soon as it became clear thatsome years must elapse before the cottoncrop of America could resume its old po-

sition and extent, the whole world wasransacked for the article, and everycountry that produced cotton increasedits production as much as possible. In-dia, that used to send us 500,000 bales ayear, has sent on an average 1,200,000

since the war began, and this rear will

have forwarded "l,700,000 or 1,800,000 atleast. In the same manner Egypt andBrazil respectively trebled their produc-tion, and last year supplied 680,000 balesbetween them. This year the Egyptiancrop has failed to a considerable extent,but the (allure is not expected to be morethan temporary. Besides these sourcesof supply, the West Indies, Turkey andChina made great exertions to meet ourdemand, and for a while their contribu-tions were by no means despicable. Thusit will be seen that we were fast becom-ing, as far as mere quantity was con-cerned, tolerably independent of theUnited States. Hut this independencedid not extend either to quality or price.

No other country was able to furnish BOprecisely the sort of cotton we required,and no other country could furnish theright quality at so low a rate. The EastIndia article was cheaper, but inferior;

the Egyptian was longer and stronger,but cost more, and was inferior in color.

Scarcely ever in any article of generalconsumption have manufacturers had to

endure such grievous and perplexing va-riations in price as have occurred In rawcotton since I860. For a long series ofyears middling Orleans | American) usedto be purchasable at 6d r' i'\ and mid-dling Burnt I

East Indian i at 4-1 "r1 lb. To

this range the ideas and habits of con-sumers had accustomed themselves, andit was no easy matter to persuade themthat any higher prices could be generalor long sustained. But during the sever-est pressure of the scarcity, namely, in1S03-4, the first mentioned quality reach-ed 804 V 1»), and the latter 21d, or five

and six times their ordinary cost. Nowmatters have BO far subsided that Orleanscotton is quoted at 12d, and the Sural at

8d. It is easy to conceive the disturb-

ance and confusion created in the mindsof both buyers and sellers by such fluc-

tuations, as well as the alarm and dis-

tress they caused to the ultimate con-sumers of the manufactured article.

The question for the future—indeed, ina great measure the practical questionfor the present—now is, whence shall wehenceforth, that is, next year and after*wards, draw our principal supplies of cot-ton ? And what prices shall we be calledupon to pay for them ? No doubt at all

exists as to the extent of our supply; weare certain to obtain as much as we need;mills will not stop for want of the rawmaterial ; our consumption will soon beas great, indeed greater than ever. Butshall we use American or Egyptian, orIndian cotton, and in what relativeamounts? One thing appears certain

—

at least all our former experience pointsin this direction—the cotton of the UnitedStates will always, in the main, be pre-ferred to every other quality if it can besupplied to us in ample quantity and ata sufficiently low price. This being thecase, we shall only purchase that fur-nished to us by India and Egypt, eitheras supplementary, or in case they cantempt us either by price or quality ; for

there are certain characteristicsi n which

the Egyptian staple is preferable even toAmerican.Hitherto the United States, owing to

their singular combination of capital, in-telligence, boundless water facilities fortransport, and unlimited supply of labor,have been able to surpass. lluj nearly

drive away, all competitors, and to pro-duce a good article cheaper than anyother country. Speaking roughly, wemay say that before the war we* onlybought India cotton because it wascheaper than Orleans, and Egyptian orBrazil because we wanted that specialquality for special purposes, and becausethe United states could not send us quiteas much as we required. But negro la-bor in the cotton States will be neither ascheap, as abundant, nor as reliably atcommand as it used to be; probablyyeanmay elapse before the American cropattains its former dimensions, and it cannevt r, in all likelihood, be grown at its

former cost. We must, perhaps, neverlook—certainly, not for a long period—tohave middling Orleans sold in Liverpool,as it has been, at 4d V i'>, with a hand-some profit on the transaction.

But we have no idea that either Egyptor India will, at any time, be able' togrow cotton as successfully or economi-cally as the United States, and the resultwhich all considerations point to as themost probable we apprehend to be this:The American supply will, year by year,constitute a larger and larger proportionof our total importation, as in formertimes ; but there will still remain a con-siderable margin of deficit, which mustbe supplied from the old sources; and asprices will range permanently higher,this margin will be relatively greaterthan it used to be, since it is evident thatIndia will be able, and will be inducedto send us a greater number of baleswhen the average price of Sural is t>d,

than when it was 3d or 4d V fb. Therewill, moreover, probably always be soilsand districts, both in Egypt, Brazil andHindostan, on which a cotton crop willpay better than any other, even If it donot yield as large a profit as is reaped bythe American producer. It is danger-ous to prophecy in such matters; but asfar as the data of the past are a guide tothe future, we shall probably not be farwrong if we prognosticate that in thecour.-e of two or three years we shallhave settled down into a position ofaffairs in which the United States willfurnish about 55 or 60 per cent, of ourconsumption, while prices will rangesomewhere about 8d or lOd "fMt> for Or-leans, and Gd V lb for middling SuralMeanwhile, it is a matter for sincere

congratulation that our crisis of manu-facturing distress is past ; that all facto-ries are again fully at work and likely toremain bo; and that the whole of our op-erative population is once more employ-ed, and at even higher wages than here-tofore. It is gratifying, too, to recollect

thai during the four calamitous yearsthat we had to encounter, when nearly amillion of people were more or less de-pendent upon charitable aid, not a singleperson is known to have perished fromwant; and that we traversed a protract-ed period Of unparalleled industrial dis-

organization with less permanent mis-chief of either a moral or social charac-ter than anyone believed possible. Therewas wide spread ruin among capitalists;

there was sad impoverishment and bitterdistress among the laboring poor; therewas severe pressure of many sortsamongall classes; but through the whole periodthere was scarcely a single attempt at

riot; there was little drunkenness andstill less crime, while the feeling betweenemployers and employed, though far

from perfect, still was' softened ratherthan embittered bv the crisis.— [PallMMGazette.

Labor for Next Year.

The following which we clip from the

Aberdeen Examiner, possesses great in-

terest to many of our readers :

The time is rapidly approaching for

the labor contracts between the planterand the freedmen to expire, and the timeis as rapidly approaching for the signingof contracts for the coming year. Wewould advise our friends to take time bythe forelock, and look about them for thebest hands that can be obtained. Whenthe planters contracted with their la-

borers last year it was a "leap in thedark." They looked alone to bone, mus-cle and general physical condition, andwould not go beyond the promise thathealth and apparent strength could give.

No planter had made a crop with freed

labor, and no freedman could point to his

"last year's record." It was alike an ex-periment with master and man. But wecan go to work now with the result ofpast experience to guide us. We knowwho are reliable, industrious and trust-

worthy, and who are uncertain, indolentand eye servants ; and can walk safely in

the light of observation and experience.Nothing will, or can, have a better in-

fluence than making the past conduct ofthe freedmen the criteroin of value infixing wages for the coming year. Letthe faithful hand understand that his

fidelity was appreciated, by giving himthe very best pay that circumstanceswill justify, and discard the worthless,even though they offer to work for noth-ing. Search out faithful, industrioushands, and make your contracts at once.Re liberal and fair in your offers, andprompt and just in fulfilling the terms

;

and enforce without hesitation or partial-

ity the h which makes it a crime for

your nei Miuor to hire the hand withwhom you have contracted, and manyof the d iii< ulties heretofore experiencedwill be avoided.

The Premium on Gold.

Last spring, when gold fell to 128, weventured to express the opinion that thecauses which put down the premiumMere exceptional and temporary, andthat by the force of natural causes, someof which we detailed, an upward turnmust inevitably take place, and thatsoon. Some of our cotemporaries, whosegood opinion we value, were inclined tothink harshly of us for our prediction,and in one or two cases that opinion wasexpressed with sufficient asperity. Asour custom is, we made no reply, butquietly left our opinions on record, to berefuted or proved by the stern logic offacts. Six months bave now elapsed,and what do the events of those monthsteach us?The first lesson that we should learn

from them is, that gold will not go downin price if left alone. As long as our pa-per currency Is redundant so long therewill be a premium on gold, and as longas our circulating money is so vastly in

excess of the normal amount, so longwill the premium on gold be bulge, he-

cause it marks the rate of depreciation ofthe paper, which depreciation varies ac-cording as the issue is less or more in ex-cess. Six month ago an opinion prevail-ed in many (punters where one mighthave expected better information andsounder judgment, that gold would godown to 110, or even to some lower rate.

The Government credit, it was argued,was by the advent of peace so much im-proved and so firmly established, thatthe Government "due-bill," as the green-backs were sophistically called, oughtnow to be worth their face in gold. Thepremium on gold was an imposition, aspecies of fraud, an altogether needless,disreputable and mischevious feature ofour financial system.

To these persons, however, gold seem-ed obstinately perverse. It refused to godown, but, on the contrary, it graduallyrose with an advancing tide, until at last,

on the news by the Cuba of the panic in

London on "Overend's Friday," the im-prisoned forces which hail so long boonchecked from carrying up gold to its nor-mal relative price broke loos,., and wouldbe inert no longer. The price went upto 188, and has not since been broughtdown below 145, which is a point 20 percent, above that which we indicated asthe "low water mark. " These facts

abundantly show that gold, as we said,

will not go down of itself so long as ourpaper money is irredeemable and redun-dant.

But, in the second place, we shouldlearn from the facts before us that goldin such a state of the currency cannot beput down. All sorts of devices, some in-genious and some absurd, have been con-trived for the purpose of forcing downthe premium on gold. One class of the-orists say that as the legal tender act

brought the currency trouble on us,

therefore we shall get out of our troubleif we only repeal the offending law. Buthow this repeal would withdraw the re-

dundant part of the currency, and leavethe rest undisturbed in amount and sta-

ble in value, we are not told, and we in-

quire in vain. Another coterie tell the(iovernment to sell its gold in a sud-den spasmodic manner, putting heavyamounts on the market. This advicewas taken and acted on la-t May, butnotoriously the results] have been* suchthat there is little prospect of a repeti-

tion of the experiment. Another, andvery small clique, tell us that the Treas-\tv should keep its gold, and not sell adollar of the precious store until the ac-cumulation is 100 millions, or 150 mil-lions, or more. This hoard of coin theysay should be appropriated to pay the le-

gal tenders at par. And in proportionas the coin is piled up in the Treasurywill the greenbacks which it "represents"rise in value, till at length, enough goldbeing accumulated, greenbacks will beworth coin, and when the ( iovernmentotters to pay coin for greenbacks nobodywill want it, because they will prefer pa-per to gold. Such is a theory which hadat one time some supporters, but is now,we believe, exploded. It is faulty for

the same reasons with the others wehave adduced. It pretends to reform ourpaper currency without contracting its

volume. It would make a paper dollarequal to a dollar in coin, although wehad in circulation twice the number ofpaper dollars that we should require ofdollars of gold or silver, or their equiva-lent.What, then, is the real way to put

down the price of gold? It will not godown of itself; it cannot be put down In-

boarding coin in the Treasury, or by sell-

ing coin from the Treasury, or by anymanipulations of the market which it is

in the power of Mr. McCulloch to con-trive. Is there, then, no way of escapefrom high prices for gold, and, conse-quent high prices for the necessaries oflife. We reply, there is a relief fromthese evils, and there is but one relief.

We must contract the currency, and onlyin proportion as we do this, only as we

I withdraw from circulation a part of our

|

floating paper money, shall we bring upthe remainder of it which we leave in

circulation nearer and nearer to thestandard of coin.

From what has been said the answeris evident which we should give to the

inquiry as to what will be the future

course of the go id market. The foreignmay rule adversely, and im-

part for a while a spasmodic impulse tothe premium; the relations between thedemand and supply may disturb the sell-

ing price in the market; political changesor monetary revulsions may have a tem-porary effect, but no permanent or salu-tary, or really desirable depression of thepremium is to be obtained, except in pro-portion as the swollen stream of the cir-

culating paper money is lessened, andbrought within the normal and safe

bounds,—[Cnrcwtole.

Effects of Protection—Cohoes Failure.

Our high protective tariff does not, it

seems, work quite so well for our manu-facturers as they anticipated. One of thelargest Arms in the country, working five

factories and employing upwards of aI thousand hands, has just gone by theboard, and, it is expected, will bringdown with it a number of others. In Co-hoes and Troy, where it had financial aidwhen its embarrassments first began, theconsternation occasioned by it is verygreat, and the apprehension prevails thatit will be followed by a number of otherdisasters. The turn of the paper manu-facturers will come next. Not satisfied

with fair profits, they put the screws onto such an extent that they have invitedforeign competition, and "now the Bel-gian manufacturers are beating them ontheir own ground in spite of the heavyduties which they have to pay. The pres-ent scale of prices in domestic manufac-tures cannot be long maintained. For-eign skill and enterprise will soon breakthem down, and then our manufactures,as well as our legislators, will see the im-policy of maintaining a tariff which im-poses needless burdens on the industryof the country and involves heavy wastein collection. A tariff on a few articles

of general consumption would raise all

the revenue that is necessary to pay theexpenses of the government and liquidatethe national debt. The revenue requiredto maintain an army of tax gatherers is

so much productive wealth lost to tihecountry. The success of the reforms ef-fected l" the British government in itssy- ' of taxation sufficiently demon

Sir .the truth of this assertion. It is

onl^ since it began to consolidate andsimplify it that it has been able to reduceits expenditure and to commence payingoff its debt. The New England manu-facturing interests are too selfishly blindand too powerful at present to see or ad-mit the justice of this reasoning. Thetime is not far distant, however, whenthey will be the first to acknowledge it

and when they will eagerly seek a reformof the entire system.

As refined loaf sugar is a pureand inodorous sweet, one pound of hon-ey will give its flavor to two pounds ofsugar, and the compound will be freefrom that smarting taste that pure honeoften has, and will usually agree witthose who cannot eat the latter with

Rotation of Crops.

The object of a rotation of crops is to

obtain the greatest product with the least

injury to the productive capabilities ofthe soil. By a continual planting withthe same crop, year after year, the prop-erties of the soil required by that partic-

ular crop are exhausted, which is in a

great degree avoided byatte

Pickling Cut umbers.—A correspond-

ent inquires the l>est recipe for these.

The following is the plan generally pur-

sited by the i>c-i pieUeta:

Choose nice young gherkins, lay themupon dishes, sprinkle salt over them, let

them lie a week, drain them olT. and pat

them into stone jars; pour boiling vine-

gar over them, place them near the fire,

cover them well with vine leaves, ami if

not a good green, ]>our off tho vinegar

and boil it again; cover them with fresh

vine leaves, and continue doing so until

they are a good color, so as to make a

better green, you must not use a metal

stewpan or brass skillets, which are poi-

sonous.

Da* wauehai ipoons with holes to dish

all pickles, keeping them always well

covered and free from air. Another

method of pickling cucumbers, which is

good, is to put them in salt and water sj

you pick them, changing the salt andwater once in three or four days. Whenyou havedone collecting yourciicuinhcrs

for pickling, take them out of the salt

and water and turn on scalding hot vine-

gar, with alum, salt and pepper corns

in it.

Selecting Wheal for Seed.

No fact la Bkace evident than that, if

wheat, with which are mixed the seedsof weeds, efaess, barley, rye or othergrain*, i- used for seed, the crop harvest-ed will not be good, clean wheat. It i*

equally certain that poorly developed,unrlpened or diseased wheat kernels cannot be expeeted to produce superiorwheat Vet many fanners knowingthese things, pay little attention to se-

lecting wheat for seed. Xo farmershould ever sow "dirty" wheal underany circumstances. This year thereshould l>e special pains taken in manyparts of tiie country where the wheatcrop was alBftOSt entirely a failure. It

will be much l>ettcr to procure seed froma considerable distance and at increasedexpense, than to rely on that which is

not suitable for the purpose. In all ordi-

nary cases the fact that such is the best

you have is not a sulhYicnt reason.( are in selecting varieties is also im-

portant. If one variety fidled inyour vicinity, year after year, try some-thing else, no matter how good a reputa-tion this variety may formerly have had.Tbe fact that white wheat bring- a

higher price in the market than the am-ber or red wheat, of the same quality,should Ik- taken into consideration. Oftwo Varieties, equal in hardiness, pro-

ductiveness, etc., of course the whiteshould be selected. In getting wheatfrom a distance, if you want it earlier

than that yon now have, go South for it,

if later go North for seed. Do not be in-

duced to sow largely of any variety sim-ply because it has done well in otherplaces, especially if these localities are at

a considerable distance.

quired by wheat. This is obviated in a

measure by judicious manuring, hut eventhen it will not do to cultivate one cropexclusively. By cultivating wheat Of

or five years, the soil is enriched by.theprocess of nature in those constituent

fertilizer. It costs from JBO to 525 perIon. When the grass begins to give out,

as it does about the first of November,the cows are stalled and fed on turnips

oighjl and morning. These are fed whole,tops ami all, at the rate of fifty-six

pounds per day for each animal. Aboutthe close of November hay is added to

the root feed and continued till aboutChristmas, when the cows are takenfrom the pasture altogether and kept in

stables all the time, with the exceptionof an hour or so at midday, when theyare turned out for water and exercise.Soon after Christmas the turnip rations

are reduced, or if hay is plenty, omittedaltogether and the cows suffered to godry. TheyCome in again about the mid-dle of February, when they are fed onchopped straw, turnips, corn or Leanmeal, or around oats, at the rate ofaboutsix pounds per day

Fall Plowing for Corn.

It is advised by some of our most emi-nent Entomologists to plow corn groundlate in the autumn as a remedy againstthe depredations of the grub, which inmany innfiOnOfe proves so destructive to

this important crop. The experience ofsome of our best farmers is also in favorof tins practice. But the plowing shouldbe done only just before the groundfreezes; the grub at this period is buriedin the earth for its winter quarters. It

he is turned on to the surface and re-

mains there the cold weather kills him,but when the plowing is done too sally,and a spell of warm weather follows andcontinues some time, he aronoes fromhis dormant state and again burrows in

the earth.If coarse manure is at hand, spread it

Kcalthfulness of Apples.

There Is scarcely an article of vegeta-ble food more widely u-eful and moreuniversally liked than the apple. Whyevery farmer in the nation has not anapple-orchard, where the trees will growat all, is one of the mysteries. Let everyhouse-keeper lay in a good supply ofapples, and it will be the most economi-cal investment in the whole range ofeulinaries. A raw, mellow apple is di-

gested in an hour and a half, whileboiled cabbages require five hours. Themost healthful de sert that can be placedon the table is a baked apple. If eatenfrequently at breakfast, with coarse

our standard beside any home in the Empire City.

We planted it th. -re, and we know we can main-tain it for the following reasons:

1st. Recause we know there is not a jobbing

house in New York that can buy any ebeap. r

than ourselves. Hid to be their equal in securing

bargains and spt etaUttes, we have secured the

undivided attention of an experienced NewYork buyer.

can depend on our selections; besides we will

allow them the privilege of immediately return-

The substantial good will of our customers, the

How to prune will depend upon the vineami the person's knowledge of its man-ner of growth. We can only give gene-ral directions. Look at your vine nowthat it is divested of leaves. All that is

seen of the wood of the present year's

growth, lias borne and done its duty. Thebuds upon the canes, that now look in-

significant, are next spring to throw out

rigorous snoots and bear fru i t. If all thebuds are left, there will be many weakshoots atid little fruit. If this year's

hoots are cut back to two or three buds,these remaining buds will push out vigor-ous s!io.)ts and produce much better fruit

Scattered Treasures.

In die natural way of tilings the leavesdecay when they fall, and thus return to

the earth more of organic matter thanthe tree takes from it. In cultivation we

taken on, end set do not allow things to go on in ttteir na-loek, and regularly tiirai way, but wish some portions ofthe

earth tone unnaturally fertile, and weaccumulate manures. Besides, in ourcivilization, we have certain ideas ofneatness, with which fallen leaves con-flict, :>id we gatherthem upbecause theyhave e slovenly look that offends us.

—

Every leafshould be saved, end If not al-

lowed to decay and enrich the grounderhereit falls, it should be made to dogood service elsewhere. In OUT countrytowns and villages, so generally plantedwith shad.' trees, the crop of leaves is

blown about and usually goes to waste.The careful gardener will be on the lookout for these " scattered treasures, " andgather them all for Denervation. Qath-eringthe autumn leaves be excellent workfor children, and. men and women neednot be ashamed of it, for le le merely ac-cepting one of the gifts of a bountifulProvidence. Leaves are nature's ownwinter mulch for the wild flowers of thewo ids, and we can haw nothing betterfoe our beds and borders. For bulbs andall herbaceous plants, steewberriee, endall things requiring a winter covering,the otherwise wasted leaves will be foundmost useful. Then when we come tomake hot-beds in early spring, they serveto mix with manure in the proportion ofone-fourth to one-half, and make a bet-ter heating material than manure alone.

And after having served this purpose,their vitality ie not exhausted. The old

heating material, mixed manure andleaves, thoroughly rotted, makes a ma-nure that every gardener knows the vei-

ns of. Save the leaves, then ; there is

money in them.

Procsss of Wins Making.

The following on wine making was

written for Downing*a Horticulturist,

sonc years since, by the late N. Long-

worth, of Cincinnati, Ohio, the most ex-

l»ericuced Vintner in this country:

"We gather OUT grapes at full maturity;

carefully pick off all green, rotten anadecayed grapes: p:i-- then ae speedhy as

Facts to be Remembered.

That the Industrial and CommercialGazette is the only paper in Louisville,

or in Kentucky, devoted exclusively to

the interests of the Merchant, Manufac-turer and Farmer.

That there are sixty Main-street mer-chants who take from twenty-five to onehundred copies, ami mail them to their

Southern and Western customers.

That this paper goes to every .Southern

State, and to almost every county andparish in every Southern State.

That over three thousand Southern and

Western retail dealers receive this paper

That the Gazette is the recognized or- Ifind a ready market for our surplus

"The Situation"'—Considered in an In-

dustrial and Commercial Aspect.

Itoat fortunate is it for all the Intonate

of the country that the year sueeeeding

the elose of the war is one of plentiful

harvests. The greatest evils of war are

usually assoc iated with scarcity; and the

surest remedy for the consequences of

hostilities is in the abundant crops. Theprogress of recovery from the derange-

ments consequent upon the late struggle-

must depend chiefly upon the extent to

which Providence favors our farming in-

dustry. Reports from the Western States

uniformily represent the prospect n> cer-

tain for an unusually heavy yield of all

the cereals; nordoes it as yet appear that

the many heavy rains have permanentlyinjured the grain.

This is all the more important in view

of the probability that Europe may re-

quire from us next year an unusually

large supply of breadstuff's. The war in

Germany must have interfered with ag-

ricultural pursuits in that country, con-

tracting to a certain extent the supply in

cereals. Nor is it yet by any means cer-

tain that another war may not arise in

Europe, exceeding in magnitude that so

lately agitating the country. Shouldthese possibilities be realized, we should

rain,

gan of the Kentucky State Agricultural

Society and of the State Horticultural

and Pomologieal Soc iety. -

That our circulation is considerably

greater than that of any other weekly

" paper in Kentucky.

The Jobbing Trade—Commercial Trav-

elers, &c.

The fall trade is now pretty well dcvel-

oi>ed. Most of the Southern merchants

have conic and l»ought their slocks andgone home. Many who were in the

market in August and September will

l>e here again before the holidays, but

the heavy work is now nearly over. Thenext ninety days will be pretty generally

sj»ent by our salesmen in traveling. Theexperience of the year now drawing to a

close has demonstrated that Louisville

possesses advantages as a jobbing mar-

ket unsurpassed by any c ity on the con-

tinent. Her trade has reached dimen-sions that enable herjobbed to sell uponas close a margin as those of any other

city, while the number of houses in each

branch of trade secures the fullest com-

petition in every line of goo<!<. Ourjobbers purchase their stocks from the

same parties that New York jobbers pur-

chase theirs from, and at the same pricey

while the difierenee in transportation is

more than compensated by the differ-

ence in rents ami city taxe-. This the

better informed mcrehants South under-

tand perfectly, and are acting iq>on.

Mar^ . whose names we can give, if re-

.i, tested the matter this fall, priced

.trough our stocks and then went to

Philadelphia and New York and priced

their stocks there, and came back to

Louisville and bought their goods, satis-

fied that by so doing they saved the

difference in transportation, besides the

additional risk and delay attending the

shipment of goods from the Eastern

c ities to iKu'nts South.

Our jobbers propo>c to sell their goods

at New York fobbing prices current.

—

These can always be ascertained by ref-

t rence to the New York papers; Ik >,< B

those merchants only will pa<s through

Louisville to trade further East, who pre-

fer advancing the interests of Northern

and Eastern merchants to Hmm of their

friends and neighbors nearer home. Thetime has gone by when retail merchants

can profit by buying at the East. Before

the war, when the circulating mediumof the country an at par with gold, and

the lluctation in prices scarcely percepti-

ble from years's end to year's end, retail

merchants went to the East and bought

their yearly stocks at the factories, by

the package^, on twelve months' time,

marked a round profit on them and set-

tled down for a year's work. Things are

not so ordered now. The factories refer

the retail dealer to the jobbers, who take

his paper at sixty and ninety days, a

considerable portion of which is leal in

and probably at comparatively high

prices. If, however, further war in Eu-rope l>e averted, and the foreign demandfor our bread-tull's be but moderate, the

consequence of our abundant harve-t

will be cheap food for our own people,

one of the greatest advantages that can

be conferred upon the industry and the

commerce of a nation.

The cotton crop must prove to be the

basis of a large amount of commerce.

As the amount of the supply regulates

the price, the aggregate value of the crop

will lie about the same should it prove to

be l,.r>00,U(JO bate1 or -j^OOViO0 bales; so

that the question as to the supply for the

next cotton year has greatly less to do

with the purchasing ability of the South

than is generally supposed. Though it

should be but li'i'f an ordinary yield, yet

as the price is likely to be more than

double that of former years, the proceeds

will enable the South to purchase largely

of Northern products, or of imported

merchandise.

Thne the crops of both the West and

the South supply the basis of a reasona-

bly active demand for Northern and

Beaten products. At the same time,

wise financiers think the money market

is likely to maintain a condition of ease

favorable to the activity of business.

In spite, however, of these favorable-

considerations complaints are occasion-

ally heard of the lateness and inactivity

of the wholesale trade of this city.

There are very obvious reasons why such

a condition of things should have been

anticipated. Exaggerated representa-

tions of the prevalence of the cholera in

tins city have in some eases delayed the

arrival of buyers from all sections.

Then again, the Southern demand,which usually comes at this period, is

delayed by the deranged state of South-

ern credits, many of the merchants of

that section having now to pay cash for

their purchases, which necessitates their

buying in small parcels and as late as

possible. The current high range of

prices also furnishes a motive which ap-

plies in common to the buyers of all

sections for putting off their purchases as

much as peaafbla. Of course, the opinion

is universal that present prices cannot

continue forever; and as none can . ay

when a break in the markets may occur,

merchants adopt the safe policy of BUp-

plying only their immediate wants.

Moreover, there is a special occasion

for this caution in the feet that the cur-

rent production appears to be gaining

materially upon consumption, and that

consequently goods are accumulating on

the hands of manufacturers. This, at

least, la the case in certain classes of

goods which have a controlling efl'ect

upon the markets. Again, with respect

to foreign goods, many are deterred from

buying by a supposition that the present

premium on gold cannot be much longer

There were over oi lundred

from this disease last w i

after a little delay, to moderate their

prices. We are by no means sure that

the argument for delay, based upon the

volume of the imports, is wholly relia-

ble. For it is not to be overlooked that

the state of affairs in Europe has caused

the imports to be hurried forward as muchpossible, while all reports agree that the

orders of American firms in Erance,

Germany and Belgium, have not been

near so large as for the fall trade of last

year. For this reason, it fa possible that

although the imports have begun on a

large scale, yet the present volume maynot be kept up through the season. Normust it be forgotten that although the

imports of last fall and of the present

spring were erroneous, yet they have not

proved to be largely in excess of the

wants of the country; so that, should

the receipts of foreign merchandise con-

tinue large throughout the season, itmayyet prove that the goods will be wanted.

Taking it all in all, there is nothing inu the situation " to depress, but much to

encourage our Louisville men-hunts,

jobbers and artisans. They are knownin the South, and favorably known.

Daily is the conviction being Basse per-

manently Impressed upon the Southernpeople that here they have true friends,

here they pan be supplied with all they

want, and her* it is their interest to trade.

Progress of Louisville.

Louisviile is situated in the center of a

country vastly rich in natural resources,

and has only to improve her advantages

to make her the superb queen and the

royal king of Western cities. She has,

as remarked by a cotemporary, but to

stretc h forth her Briarean arms to gathe r

in the wealth and the population that

stand ready to obey her summons to en-

large her proportions, to lengthen and

adorn her streets, to multiply and beau-

tify her cottages and palatial mansions,

to magnify her bazaars, and to extend

her marts of trade and commerce.

We have recently traveled through

several States, and lingered in various

cities, and we are more than ever im-

pressed with the fact that there is no

point in the West—none probably any-

where—to which the right spirit of enter-

prise would bring richer returns than

here. Of this our citizens, we think, are

becoming aware, and will gird them-

selves for the splendid destiny that opens

up before them. Soon the Ohio will be

bridged, and the whole of Southern In-

diana will have free and easy access t,,

our markets. A great railroad outlet <U-

rect to the best harbor on the Atlantic

coast—Norfolk—will erelong, we trust,

constitute one of the mighty tributaries

to our prosperity; while other railroads of

moreorlees importance will help to swell

our trade and enrich the contiguous

country.

Our manufacturing interest is yet in Its

infancy, but it is a healthy infancy, andevery day will witness its vigorous

growth. We have the crude materials in

exhaostless abundance for a great andvaried system of manufacture. Our hills

are full of coal and lead and various oth-

er minerals, of some of which we proba-

bly are now wholly ignorant, though wetrust and believe we shall not long re-

main so.

The public mind is evidently awaken-ing to the paramount importance of ex-

ploring the long-hidden mines of wealth

thai lie Concealed beneath the surface,

and turning them to practical accouni.

We think the subterranean fieldsof Ken-tucky are very rich In ores, and arc nowquite uncultivated. They can hardly re-

main so, however, much longer. Thehand of enterprise will soon begin to de-

velope their resources, and a rich harvest,

or we greatly mistake, will reward the

presevering toilers.

City Improvements.

('apt. P>. CL Levi will have one of the

best and most imposing residences in the

city completed In a few days, on the

southeast corner of Chestnut and Tenth

streets, which will cost him about (20,-

000. The interior of this house is well de-

sighed, and will be finished in very goodtaste, regardless Of expense or labor. It

contains sixteen rooms and attic, and is

supplied throughout with the latest im-

proved water and gas fixtures.

Messrs. EL H. Munroc and Joel Hatchhave finished their new residence! onHigh street, between Thirteenth andFourteenth, from the rear of which they

have a splendid view of the falls. They are

built in the plain Grecian style, both ontier one roof, with B very pretty verandahin front, presenting a very handsome ap-

pearance. They are very substantially

built, and cost about $8,000.

Another residence, containing twelve

rooms, belonging to Mr. Joseph Haalett,

will soon be completed, on the corner of

High and Fourteenth streets. It will

cost $10,000.

On the southwest corner of Chestnut

and Ninth streets, Mr. Wm. Helf'ernan

has erected two business houses with

dwellings in the rear and upper floors,

containing seven rooms, which cost not

less than 18,000.

Mr. John Doyle has recently completed

two very neat and comfortablo resi

denees on High street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth. They contain

nine rooms each, anil have every convenienee that could be desired.

Two houses, worthy of note on accountof their fine appearance, at least, havel>een erected on the corner of Seventhand Grayson, by John Donelly. Thefirst floor is designed for business roomwhich are twenty-three feet front andthirty-five feet deep. The second andthird stories are designed for residences,

and the whole will rent for about H, B0Q

a year.

Building Association.

A company has been formed in NewOrleans for the erection of tenement-

houses. Just this stop should be taken

here, in Louisville. Rents have becomeso exhorbitantly high as to prevent

many families from housekeeping. Will

not some of our capitalists come forward

ami form an organization for the further-

ance of such a necessary projec t, instead

of leaving it—as at present—to private

enterprise? The New Orleans Picayuneays

:

The organization contains over 100master mechanics on the subscriptionroll, the remainder of the whole numberof 850 subscribers being dealers in build-ing materials, hardware, metals, paints,tricks, lumber, lime, cement, sand, etc.

Each one of the master mechanics thatresort hither, speaks of the scarcity of la-bor which tends to ami actually does se-riously retard the operation of building.What is the great need of our population?

muses to live in. That the people mayhave an idea of the amount as well asthe extent of building in our city for thepast year, a single subscriber to the so-ciety, the firm of Murray «fc Jamison,have furnished £280,000 worth of work,and have contracted for as much more.The works of Gallier <fe Estabrook, alsoof this society, will probably reach $300,-000. Others have furnished, in amount,work variously estimated at from $200,-000 to S.")(»,( f()0.

The Poetry of Fabmjho.—An ex-change says there is poetry in farmingbesides that found in pastoral. Thus;M The fields of green ; the golden cerealsripening in the sun; the fruit trees andthe vines loaded with their stores; the

rners filled to overflowing, are full ofpoetry." To some these may suggestpoetical images, but, to the mass ofman-clad, they are interesting simply becausehoy are solid facts. There is very little

Ktetryin sweltering in a nieady or a grainleld; in cleaning a cow stable or a pig-tye. In feet the poetry of farming is

rather imaginary than real—a plain proseMiriness—and its rewards are of a kin-dred character.

Pfetdlantous,

Industrial Scarcity and Over-crowdedCities.

The following, from the New Orleans

Picayune, is equally applicable to our

own city, ami wm MMMMOMd it to the at-

tention of our country friends:

While the press throughout the Southdeplores the scarcity of labor for ajrrcul-

tural and mechanical purposes in the ru-

ral districts, our cities are becomingcrowded, turgid, plethoric, congestedwith population. The accession is in

some degree natural and heaithful ; butwe much fear, indeed we feel sure, that

in great part it is a morbid accumulationof mere surplusage. For the supremewant of the country, aside from political

• onsiderations, is productive industry.

—

Nevertheless, thousands rush into the

cities without employment of any kind,

and are confronted with a diminishingprospect of obtaining it. While the ru-

ral districts which they abandon offer

the only certain resources and opportu-nities of produing the elementary needsof life and laying the foundations of

manly independence and competence.

—

There the very lields and forests seem to

cry aloud in prayer and protest to thosewlio desert them and fly to woo the peril-

ous chances of the city. < an we wonderthat the black people withdraw in suchnumbers from the rural districts, andflock to the great centers of population,

when so many whites, with not a whitmore rational inducement, daily set themthe example? It may not be easy to

'•onceivc a just and reasonable incite-

ment to such a course; but when we see

multitudes punning it, we find no diffi-

culty in explaining why it is, that thecountry beOMM* more and more shrunk-en, and the cities more and more tumid—the shrinking and the tumidity beingcoielative symptoms of the same dis-

ease.

Of course, we behold in the legitimategrowth of our own city a subject of pride

and congratulation. And unquestionably,favored as it remarkably ia by M manynatural, social and other advantages,much of its increa-e of population, with-in the lasttwo years, n entirely legiti-

mate, and may be safely reckoned as asubstantial addition to its permanentmagnitude and prosperity. But there is

aho a noticeable redundancy beyondthat point, and a regrettable indication

of a continued increase of this redundan-cy. And we join cordially with the ad-vice which a respected Mobile cotempo-;ary gives to young men, and to all men,without money and without business,

who are prone to seek professional orclerical occupations in oar crowded cities

where all the berth- in those linesofem-ployment are already taken.Unfortunately, there is not the IMBe

BMMbM of mechanical and .-killed labor.

The cities no more suj>eral>ound with la-

iKirof this sort than the rural districts

r iipcralKiund with agricultural labor. Onboth hands the dearth is painfully sensi-

ble. And this reeaUa a subject of sad rc-

lloottna in regard to one of the great de-

fects of the education of the Southernpeople, and not of theirs only, out ofthat of the whole American people. Thisdefect is the neglect of bringing up thema.ss of the young men to what are de-nominated " trades. " or to scientificknowledge and practical skill in agricul-

ture. At a meeting of the Social ScienceA—ociation, in New England, not longsince, the most ]>ointcd testimony wasgiven to the injurious consequences

MONEY AND THE MARKETS.

INM STRIAL ANDCOMMEKC'l.GAZETTEOFFICE, )

Friday Kvciiing, November 2, 1800. )

Money works easy, owing to the fact that

there is but slight demand for it at present, more

than to any large surplus held by the banks.

Kates of interest range from Ig 10 f cent, accord-

ing to the character of paper ottered. Exchange

on New York is steady, bankers buying at 50c

discount and selling at par.

Government bonds are a shade higher and in

demand. In view of the present and prospective

ease in the New York money market, there is

more likelihood of an advance than any decline

in the class of securities, and in the absence of

any serious political disturbances it is not at all

unlikely that much higher figures may be

reached. Urokcrs here readily buy all offered at

J.j V cent under New York quotations.

Gold was higher yesterday, owing to the Balti-

more disturbances, but to-day has a lower ten-

dency. It is not thought, however, that the

price will tend much lower, although the inter-

est on the 5-20s is now being paid, its effect hav-

ing been already discounted. But limited

amounts are lx-ing brought in here at present,

brokers buying at « cent under New York

quotations, silver also comes in slowly, and in

small quantities.

In our review of commercial nflairs of the

aitooftr Cur the past week, it is gratifying to

state that there has been a steady business trans-

acted in BKMt of the departments of trade. The

iluctaiions in itold have been less violent, and,

as a consequence, prices of general merchandise

have maintained a steadiness favorable to sell-

ers and buyers. The weather continues highly

favor;:! tie for business, and the Indian summerstill favois the farm< r Wttfa opportunities to

bring to m«rk< t the products of his lields. The

river is in good navigable condition, and regular

packets are there by mahltid to cany lull cargoes

to and from our whai vcs. The manufacturing

and mechanical interests of Louisville exhibit

la cverydepartmeiit satisfactory activity. Fac-

tories, foundries, machine-shops are in full blast

—buildings, in every direction, continue to rise

as Ifby magic; carpenters, bricklayers and stone

Maaam have their hands full of work; street

improvements, in every direc tion, are going tar-

w. i.l in a manner crec'itable to the city author-

ities mid highly promotive to the interests of

all classes of c itizens. All of these enterprises

so rigorously pro»ccutcd, create an active de-

mand for money, and the amount monthly dis-

bursed is enormous. Wanes arc regarded as lib-

eral, and any man v. iPing to work need not In-

idle or without the necessary cash to purchase,

even at present high prices, the necessities andsome of the comforts of life. Advices from the

South, in regard to the cotton crop, are still

widely apart; the extent of the damages inflict-

( ,1 by worms and the injuries from rains, Ac,

have not bOBB over-estimated; but thecontinued

favorable weather far jacking will add imm.-ns-

/

which resulted, from this source, to hi-d ly to the product, and the prevailing opinion

bly enlarge in re-pon-e to the demandsof the country, one existing establish-

ments of various manufactures whetherof textile, metalic or wooden fabrics.

—

Europeans had to be imported to supply

the dificiency. There was no grant ofAmericans in point of number, hut thehu k MMQMg them of slow and careful

training needed fur important ami deli-

cate work would have rendered them aninsufficient reaooroe if they had number*ed ten times thirty millions. It is to befeared that the same species of deficien-

cy, agnevated, perhaps, would be foundin the South, in ease maTwftcturing; en-terprise* should multiply greatly. Theevil is one which, though admitting ofimmediate mitigation--, only time eaacompletely remedy. A profound changein the general education of the people

which hasheretofore proceeded loo muchoa the principle that Americans were aii

born aristocrats, above the thought of

manual labor, and destined to be philos-

and prices range from Xfjfe for common to

with light receipts.

I lour—

The flour market taring the wei k has been

excited, and prices have advanced. The local,

shipping and speculative demand, under the in-

fluence of advices from New York, Chicago andCincinnati, has raised superfine to S9 75@10 50,

extras to SllfelloO, extra family to Sl'J HOUSMjNo. 1 to S13 SOfelo, and fancy brands to Sir, 2.\,<,l(j.

Tiie inquiry for superfine and extra for shipping

ami for investment has been above the ability

of dealers or manufacturers, and the marketcloses buoyant and wit'; an upward tendency.

Under the influences novj^t work, it is difficult

to say what is to be the future of the market

;

but if the European demand should prove ac-

tive and continue for any length of time, wemay anticipate startling quotations within the

next thirty days. By consulting English ad-

vices closely therefor, will enable the puhlicto

form an approximate nka what the future of

the market will be.

Groceries-Stocks are large and prices are nominally

Prices, with the exception of brown sheetings,which have declined one cent, have undergonescarcely any change since our last. Bleachedand brown cottons have l>ccn in fair demand,though the feeling is less buoyant than charac-terized the market a few weeks as?o. Browndrills and cotton flannels are in fair demandand steady, Hamilton and I^icona cotton flan-nels at .15c, and Nashua brown and Namkeag at

27}£<!i30c. Prints are steady at quotations, withfair demand. iX'laines are much sought after;

Armures and Hamilton are firm at 2%30c. Inwoolen goods the demand is quite active atprices which afford buyers fair margins forprofits. Stocks are superb for the season, andthe trade for the month of October has beenfully up to the expectation of dealers.

proach of the slaughtering season is doubtlessthe cause of the weakness in the Western pro-vision markets, as dealers are anxious to disposeof old stocks to make room for the new whenthe packing season commences. We not h e

some few hogs have been slaughtered in Chica-go, Cincinnati and other packing places of less

note; here, however, nothing as yet has beendone. Packers are fully prepared to enter uponthe business with tan usual energy as soon as

the season arrives and prices can be satisfacto-

rily established between them and feeders. Inthe absence of contracts, we cannot speak ad-visedly of prices, but the number of hogs whichwill be offered, and the great abundance of corn,

warrants the opinion that prices will be largely

below the ruling quotations of last season. Wegive the following quotations for mess pork,smoked meats and lard to-day:

Louisville Grain Market

The grain markets of the country during tlie

past week have been unusually excited, andprices have been unsettled and irregular, with aregularly advancing tendency. This state ofthings is the remit in part of news from Europeindicating an export demand, intensified byspeculative combinations on this side of theAtlantic. The probabilities are that the presentprice of corn cannot be maintained, and that adecline rapid and disastrous must take place at

an early day. Mixed corn in this market is

scarce, and commands 81 lo, sacks and deliveryincluded. The market is quite bare of white,which commands iMta advance on the price for

mixed. Rye is in good request at from 81 10®1 15

from wagons, and 81 25@l 30 from store. Barleyis stiffer, with sales of prime spring during the

week at 81 40@1 50, delivered. Wheat is in gooddemand and firm at from 02 85 2 00 for white onarrival, and 83 from store; red is finn at i2 75®2 85. Receipts are light and t ran - ac: ions of lim-ited importance. We quote

The cotton-warp mill of J. L. Peck,

Esq., of Pittsiield, wm burned on the

night of the 17th inst. The tire orignat-

ed in the dye-house. The mill was fully

covered by"insuranee. Mr. Peek is also

of the firm of Peck & Kill>ourn.nianufa<

-

lama of the well known P. K. domettllaiinels, whose mill is situated about half

a mile from the one burnt.

The Pall River, Mass.,eotJon mill ope-

rative have petitioned their employer-to reduce the hours of labor from eleven

fco ten. comHTflllf with Monday of nextweek.

The Whipple File Manufacturing Com-pany have resumed the making of files

adeteeL with capital of million anda half dollars.

The Nemasket oottoa mill in Middle-borough, Mass., caught fire, Wednesday,from MOM hard substances running into

the picker, and was damaged to theamount of $2,000.

Nearly all the cotton mills are runningfull time, consuming as much cotton asthey did prior to 1800.

An extensive hat company, with acapital of $100,000, belonging in NewYork, are going to locate their works in

New Haven.

A large number of French Canadians,many of them with their families, havelately landed in Gloucester, Mass., andfound employment in the cotton mills.

From 150 to 200 French Cauadians areworking in shoe factories at Stoneham,and nearly 300 at Haverhill.

Thk Arc:rsTA Watkk Power.—It

s- at the Messrs. Sprague, of Rhode;, have not yet concluded—as has

beta stated positively they had—the pur-chase of the water power at Augusta,Maine. The Kenebec Journal of this

week says: "That these celebratednianufa<-turers have made propositions ofpurchase is very true, but whether theirterms shall l»e accepted is yet very un-certain. The unprecedented demands ofcertain holders of real estate may yet de-feat the contemplated enterprise. Incase the pending negotiations should re-

sult in the sale of the water power, theMessrs. Sprauge would make improve-ments of great importance to our city.

What their plans of contemplated im-provements really are they have yet au-thorized no one to announce, and proba-bly their plans are not yet matured. Inthe meantime we advise our citizens tomake no business plans or speculativearrangements ha*ed on uncertanties.

—

Should pending negotiations result favor-the responsible parties will take

l *WB time and method of announc-ing

rict to the public. All good citi-

aens oi \ugusta will see to it that nofactious t,. extraordinary obstacles arethrown in the way of an enterprise onthe success or failure of which so muchdepends."

A Chinese Lodging House.

There is in Pekina "House with Chick-en Feathers," where houseless vagabondsmay sleep for the tenth pari of a cent]*-/ night. In an immense hall the floor

ls'covered two or three feet thick withChicken feathers. The customers are in-

1 into this hall and take the fir-t

.< e they can find. They disappear in

the feathers as if they were in water. Allages mmI both sexes lie pell-mell togeth-k i .

i -r this downy lied bancs a cano-jLn large as the hall itself; the canopy

i> made of felt, and is perforated with asmany oval holes as the hall may contain

a hen the hour is struck for the closingof doors, this canopy is lowered to thefloor. Every sleeper hastens to thrust* '

1 through a hole, in order to

reah air and escape being suffo-

cated by the feather-. At the hour ofrising the go?i£ sounds and each deeperpulls his head not of the hole to avoidbeing strangled by the canopy, which is

pulled ap bo the ceiling by blocks andpulley-, thai secures the waking of thelodgers. They then go to the OfllC ) andpay their BUH for their night's lodging.

A Weeeera OfirmpoartVint, who ex-pects to lie believed, says he met a bigluilian oa the plains a few weeks igo,who had with him a large bundle ofscalps. Upon venturing to ask the gen-tle savage his ocejpaiion, the latter,

with peat Ratio, answered : "Ugh, mebam >kirniish for waterfalls."

COTTON MARKET.JT is a generally admit ted fact that Louisville is the largest, and, to the planter, the most satis-

factory Tobacco market in the world. And believing it can be made as important and satis-

factory a market for Cotton as it is for Tobacco, by adopting the same system of selling at public

sale by auction, allowing the owner or his agent the privilege of rejecting the sale when the price

docs not meet his views; and being informed that

Dear Sir: Allow us to call your attention to the fact that, at the request of merchants andother citizens, we have adopted the same system of selling

e> t T o jxrwhich has proved so satisfactory to the planter in the sale of Toracco in this market. Its ad-vantages are numerous. It draws together all the buyers in this and many from other markets,the competition between whom insures the highest market price for each bale offered. Eachbale is before the buyer, so that he can see its condition, with a sample fairly drawn showingits quality. The owner lias the right, either in person or through his agent, to rejectthe sale when the price is not satisfactory. These advantages are secured to the planter withthe same expense of selling as under the old system. The argument from our experience is con-clusive, that sales prove more satisfactory under this than any other system.

Yours, respectfully,
