O ppo-one Of the lrgest oargoe oleared from
£bL. .... ºr . long time.
While the railroads e fas s ofOhtoagohave largel
flos ef this season, as re.ards the volme of
thir earrying trade, very lively business is be
dome on the lakes. A report from Buffalo,
October 24, says:
"Over one hundred vessels are in the harbor.
Beeaspts for twenty-four hours, over two and a
hal miallion bushels grain ten thousand barrels
lom, about one and a hall million feet lumber,
biedss heavy receipts of other produtes, in ag
gregate value over two millin dollars. A num
ber of other vessels are reported, and constant
rrivls are being added to the above."
Northern writers often express their surprise
that more attention is not paid at the Sonth to
the manufacturron of the great staple of this see
tie. In the older States of the Nouth, in large
portions of which, from long use, the soil has be
ome worn out and unprouctive, and numbers
Sof poeMo have had to abandon agricultural pur
suits, the number of ootton faotoriee have largely
-ereased,. and handsome dividends have been
reslised. Notably has this been the feet in
eergia sand Alabama, where In some oases from
tWo *four to twenty-seven per cent have been
ah.dn such investments. But in Loulsiana
lsspi, Texas and Arkansas, where the soi
Isaore productive, cottoo factories are few and
far between. In New Orleans there have been,
t years gone by, two experitments made in the
manmufatouring of the staple, but both aesme to
grief. Within a few months there has been a
mill established here, which, we are glad to
learn, bids fair to prove a profitable venture. The
Oluhmbta Register makes the following pertinent
remarks on this subjeot:
"If Iron mills are always placed as near as pos
sible to iron mines why should cotton factories
be a thousand mlaes away from cotton fields?
And yet this it precisely what has been done in
Amerisa. That port on of the cotton crop which
Is not taken up by foreign markets is sent to New
England to be manufaotured. There are many
essons, unnecessary to name, why this awkward
way of doing business has been continued until
now, but no reacon why it should continue any
loger. The cotton produolrg States may just as
wellhave the two profits a the one-the profit
derived from the production of the raw mat r.ai,
and the profit derived from converting it into
saleable articles."
Tihe Lteck speculatlon.
The uncertain condition of the stock market is
explained by the New York World on the suppo
sition that the vigorous bear movement of the
last week was engineered to extricate a bear
speculation that was hegan several wet be ago,
and at muhob lower prices. It says there has been
a great distribution of long stock, and that sev
eral of the late prominent bulls have now got
clear. The irst bull to sell out, presumably Ad
dison Cammack, now avows himself a bear. The
New York 1Wibune prediote the speed1 end of the
ball movement. It deolares that * it has been
r eiind from the begialing of the late won
rise in stocks that the first serious defec
tion hfom the 'bull' ranks would end the oam
ain. And although the market for some time
msiome is likely to be subject to frequent and
sharp rallies, the hour Is fat. approasoing when
real values will command more attention than
the capital of a few infatuasted individuals."
The Plnanelal lituatlgn In New York.
Tho legal tender resources of the New York
leaks decline slowly. From tieptember 80 to
Oetober 21, 1876, the lose was $8.000,000, but from
September 29 to October 20, 1877, the loss was
only $eI0,000. The loans are but $189.188 800
aint $270,657,600 in 1872, and $281,878,700 in
74. Toe deposits are 8195,581,500, against
01,061,400 in 1874. a deol noe or 8.6 per oent.
Jotwithstanding the light demand lately, the
tender reserves are but 889,949.800, against
4,70,200 in 1878, $64,702.900 in 1875, and $68.
800 in 1874, a decline between 1874 and 1877
of aper cent. During the pest year the amount
loaned by the national banks on call has been
reduced nearly $12,000,000, but a large proportion
of the loans for . ook operations that have been
hitherto made on cads have been made this year
on time, and many of them run until the end of
the year. The amount due by the New York ns
tionl banks to other banks is now 875,000,000.
eecrease In the Number of Failures at
the south.
According to the latest reports there are indi
sutions of a slight improvement in business af
Jdr as regards failures during the third quarter
of 1817. In comparison with the oorresponding
quarter of last year the number of failures de
0Unes 618, or nearly 25 per cent, and the amount
of liabilities of firms failing declines $5,511,286,
or nearly 12 per cent. The. ew York Iribune,
of the 2th inst. thus seaks of Southern mer
untale interests in this connection:
It is a remarkable faot that, comparing three.
uarters of 1877 wirt three-quarters of 1876, a
c. ase appears in the number of failures in
every one of the former slaveholding States,
without exception. The surprising improvement
in the condition of the Son h could not be more
clearly shown. Not only in the States recently
misloverned, but in all the States which, from
similarity of former industrial system, naturally
sympathize with them, the marked improvement
appears. Moreover, Maryland is the only one of
these tates in which any considerable increase
appeare in the amount of liabilities of firms fail
ing; exoepting in that State, and in St. Louis,
which is reported apart from the rest of Missouri,
there is an almost universal decrease in losses by
commercial disaster in the region formerly
known as "the South." This evidence of the
wisdom of dliberal policy toward that section
will be peculiarly appreciated by those who, like
the merchants and manufacturers of Northern
cities, understand how largtly their own pros
perity and the welfare of Northern industry de
pend upon the prosperity of the 8 outh.
It Is the largest Grain Crop Ever Pro
duced in this Country.
[N. Y. Sun.]
The grain crop of the Uniled States this au
tumn is a vast increase over that of any previoun
year in the history of the country. It amounts
in the two principal oe. -a-wheat and corn-to
825,000,000 bushels of the formuer and 1,280,000,.000
of the latter, according to the careful estimates
of Mr. Walker, the statistician of the New
York Produce Exchange. The movement of
this enormous crop has just begun to
be felt, as up to the past eight weeks the
exportations were of last year's crop; but the
sudden increase already noted gives good prom
Ise of a golden future. During the brief period
mentioned our exports of wheat from the ports
of New York, Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New Orleans and Portland have ag
gregated 11,525,188 bushels, against an exporta
o from the same ports during a corresponding
period of last year, of 3,938,951 bushels, show
ing an increase of 7,586,237 bushels. There has
also been an increase of 708 234 bushels in the
exportation of rye during the same time, and in
peas an increase of 81,409 bushels. In corn
therp has been af falling off to the extent of
1,68,064 in that time.
To arrive at the amount of corn sent abroad it
is proper to count in that which goes in the com
pressed form of pork. Our annual hog produot
exportation is about 4,000,000 hogs. As it takes
sbout fourteen bushels of corn to fatten each
hog, that will be equivalent to about 66,000,000
bushels more of corn to be added to the exports
annually, as sent in the form of animal food.
We also send a great deal barreled up in the
shape of whisky. Corn meal is included in the
estimate reduced to bushels.
The recelpts of wheat at Western lake and
river ports-Ohlcago. Milwaukee, Toledo, De
troit, Montreal, St. Luis, Peoria and Duluth
during the four weeks ending October 6, from
the new crop, were 13,099,375 bushels, against
7,157,597 bushels for the corresponding period of
last year, showing an increase of 5,941,778 bush
eis. The shipments from those points in that
time were 11,024,058 bushels, an increase of 4,
800,680 bushels over the corresponding period of
the year before. California has been this year
an exoeption to the rest of the country. Her
crops have fallen off. Between July 1 and Sep
tember 24 of thi yt ar her exports of wheat were
4,011,000 bushels lel s than during a correspond
ing period of 1816.

[Indianols (Iowa) Tribune.]
A little girl living just west of Indianola asked
for permission to sell melons daring the melon
season. This being granted she at once set u
her store of fine melons at her father's gate, and
then asked her mamma what price she should
ask for her niest ones, etc. She was permitted
the privilege of awing her own price for her
