Perry, Houston Count/, ua., .Jan. 28, IbSO.
In 1873 there were two negroes confined in jail
badly afflicted. In my official capacity I employed
C. T. Swift, to cure them, under a contract, "no
cure, no pay." He administered his " S. Specific,'1
and in a few weeks I felt bound to pay him out of
the county treasury, as he had effected- a complete
and radical cure. A. S. GILES,
Ord. Houston County. Ga.
C'hattanooua, Tenn., Feb. 14. 1S79,
The S. S. S. is giving ^orxi satisfaction. One gen-
tlemaii who had been confined to his bed six weeks
with S. Rheumatism has been cured entirely, and
speaks in the highest praise &

Cotton Easier—The Visible Supply—
Large Foreign Clearances—Bacon
Better—Coflee Weak-Wheat Advanc-
ing—Local market*, Etc.
News Office, Saturday. September 18.—The
market for the leading staple was moderately ac-
tive to-day, but prices at the close were not well
supported either by Liverpool or New York. De-
liveries in the former market were quieter and l-32d
lower on September-Octobers. A decline of 10® 13
points|on all months but Septembers and Octobers
occurred in New York, and the closing was easy.
Septembers is 4 points off ami Octobers 8. The
former closed at 11.68. The local movement is in-
creasing, and the actual receipts to-day by the two
railroads and barges foot up as follows: Houston
Direct Navigation company's barges, 3138 bales;
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, 1727 bales,
and Galveston, Houston and Henderson railroad,
343 bales; total, 5208 bales.
The first foreign clearances of the season were
made to-day. Both were for Liverpool; the Cosmo
taking 4212 bales, and the Hallamsliire3436 bales:
total, 764S bales.
A fair amount of business was transacted to-day
in the wholesale departments, and a firmer feeling
was shown on meats in response to f£c. advance on
bacou in the west. Dry salt meats are firmer. For
mess pork at Chicago 17.87V£ is bid for Septembers
and 17.70 for Octobers; Novembers are quoted at
513.
St. Louis Telegrams to the exchange quoted No.
2 cash wheat 2^c. higher; Septembers lc. higher:
Octobers V6c.: Novembers and Decembers and the
year higher. Kansas City put an advance of
l%c. on No. 2 and J4c. on No. 3 wheat. Chicago ad-
vanced No. 2 spring %c. on all mouths. Corn closed
better at St. Louis, and oats showed more
firmness on a basis of 28H-C. for October deliveries.
Flour and corameal are unchanged.
The receipts of hides -and wool have been very
light and in both prices are barely nominal. Rig-
ging and ties are very firm.
In groceries sugars are quieter and coffee ruling
more in favor of buyers. The Rio news this week
is unfavorable, and the Nsws's New York corre-
spondent reports that market dull.

Clticago Cattle Market.
[Prepared for the News by R. Strahorn So Co.]
Chicago, September 14.—The supply of through
Texas was again moderate to-day. A good demand
prevailed from all classes of buyers, but as there
was a large supply of western cattle upon the mar
ket. buyers asked concessions of 5c on the best
grades, and of 10c on common to fair main lots, and
as will be •=-«*n from the transactions made, holders
were con pe ed to accept their terms or hold the
cattle ovt. .or to-morrow's market. The quality of
to-dav's receipts was principally of oows and fair
to mixed lots of steers, and among the offerings
was one load of scalawag stuff shipped here
from Kansas City that averaged 688 2L>s, and were
sold tp a canner at $1 75 100 lbs.

THE COMPRESSED COTTON QUESTION
Report of tlie Cotton Excliange Com-
mittee of a Conference ISad willi the
Houston and Texas Central Railroad
Authorities.
The following report was submitted to the
Galveston cotton exchange yesterday by the
committee appointed to confer with the man-
agement of the Houston and Texas Central
railway:
Galveston, September 17, 1880.—To the President
and Board of Directors Galveston Cotton Ex-
change: Your committee appointed to visit Hous-
ton and confer with the authorities of the Houston
and Texas Central railroad in reference to sundry
matters pertaining to shipments of cotton over that
road have the honor to report. We made the trip
to Houston yesterday, and had the pleasure of
meeting Messrs. Jordan, Cave and Swanson. These
gentlemen met us very cordially, and expressed
themselves as desirous of removing any obstacles
in the way of shipments to this port, and further
disclaim any intention, directly or indirectly, of
discriminating against us in rates of freight in fa-
vor of any point iu or outside of the state. On the
contrary, they openly stated it was the interest, and
probably would be the policy, of all roads in the
state to influence shipments gulfward Our special
mission was in reference to the clause now inserted
in bills of lading issued bv the Central road at
points not competing with other lines of transporta-
tion, " privilege of compressing at carrier's option
and expense. We laid the facts before these gen-
tlemen, as to what loss the shipper would sustain
by compressing, briefly as follows:
bale.
ass appearance.
price, owing to the ina-
bility of buyers to examine compressed cotton, and
thereby detect fraud, mixed or water macks, which
would necessarily induce them to discount the
price.
The gentlemen did not think this difference ex-
isted ; or, by virtue of compressing it. made the ar-
ticle less salable; but it is our opinion compressed
cotton, shipped to any port in the cotton belt for
sale, will not bring as much as uncompressed, and
any shipper who attempts it will lose money. The
reasons given us for the issuance of the order was
the lack of rolling stock for transporting promptly
all the cotton offered at the various depots, and by
compressing double the space would be gained in
every car. This is true beyond all doubt, and it is
to be deplored. Nor is there a road in the state
with sufficient rolling stock to carry the freight of-
fered them four months in the year, the only length
of time the pressure lasts, and it is not reas« >nable
to expect them to provide the excess required, when
it would lie idle eight months. Mr. Jordan said we
would have to meet this issue of compressing soon-
er or later, and to move the present crop it was ne-
cessary now; that St. Louis and New Orleans were
willing to receive it for sale in that condition. This
may be so, and we doubt if any house here would
refuse to receive a consignment of compressed cot-
ton, provided the owner Iiad no objection to letting
it come forward in that conditiou, but we have to
candidly admit, no matter to what market it is
shipped, its ready sale and value are affected
thereby.
The Central road will hardly make it compulsory
on a shipper to have his cotton compressed, but
may possibly make two rates, one for com-
pressed and one for uncompressed. If this is done,
t will give the shipper choice of a greater or less
rate of freight, and he can elect whether his cotton
shall be compressed or not. We touched 011 the
matter of delay in reference to shipments of cotton
over the Central road via the H. D. N. company.
he delay is incidental to the transfer on barges at
Houston. The Central road will sign bills of lading
at any of its depots for cotton, to be delivered to
f.ny agent you may designate at Houston, freight
to be paid on delivery to nim. We presume it will
be a matter of indifference to the shipper or re-
ceiver here what line of transportation hauls it
from Houston, provided the present unnecessary
delay is obviated. This is a question which 110
doubt will be soon settled by the various corpora-
tions themselves.
Col. Jordan called our attention to an important
fact, and while it does not apply to our immediate
mission, yet it imports much good to the shipper
and should be promulgated, and that is the large
Quantity of miserable and poor bagging now used
throughout the state. It is of » ;<-h flimsy nature
the least movement results i te ring it off, caus-
ing loss in weight and additi« :;... < xpense to replace
it with new. We are assured that as soon as the
executive committee of the Central road can be
convened, our various requests will be considered,
and an answer given, which will be submitted to
you. Respectfully, John Fockk, Chairman;
E. S. Flint,
Arthur B. Hosier,

NEW YORK LETTER.
[Special Correspondence to the News.]
New York, Sept. 14.—The democratic shot from
Maine caused the bears to open their batteries upon
the stock market on the ground that the prosperity
of the country would be arrested if not ruined (?)
by the displacement of the republicans from power,
and the latter were frank enouglijto concede that
such an event was more than probable.
The attack was made all along the line, and not a
stock escaped a cutting down, though, in reality,
the disaster to the market was trifling, and could
be made up in an hour if the bulls were disposed to
light the decline.
There is certainly no reason wliv stocks should be
lower under a democratic president like Hancock
than under a republican like Hayes; the business of
the country will go on all the same; railway earn
ings will continue just its full, and the tide of emi-
gration will know no ebb. And as to the finances,
a democratic congress and president have managed
them successfully before, and can do so again.
The active stocks averaged a drop of 1(&1% per
»nt. from yesterday's top figures, and this fall
„3veloped —
feverish feeling set in with free sales of Chattanooga
from 68 down to 64, causing hesitancy with the re-
mainder of the list, and a finally unsettled closing.
The commercial writer this evening says the
political dash at the stock market to-day "indicates
an experiment rather than fear of a serious or per-
manent decUne. *'
The steamer from Havre delivered the following
gold: Belmont. 2.000.000 francs: Yon Hoffman,

trust by two persons, one selected by the Dal-
las board of trade and the other by the com-
pany, until the conditions for whicli they are
given are complied with, when they will be
turned over to the company.
The citizens and business-men, who subscrib-
ed to the Dallas, Cleburne and Rio Grande rail-
way, will £ive the new company all the moral
and material aid within their power, and all
the more willing as it proposes to build the
road they tried to, and five or six hundred
miles besides. The directory of the Dallas,
Cleburne and Rio Grande will renew their
notes to that company, and give them to the
Anglo-American, ana use all their influence in
getting their subscril)er* to do the same thing.
The exact route of the Chicago, Texas and1
Mexican Central has not jbeen agreed upon,
and will be a matter for the engineers to deteiw
mine when the survey now in progress is com-
pleted. Miller's ferry has been settled upon
as the point at which the Trinity river will be
bridged by the company. The line of the road
from Red river northward will either pase
through western Arkansas to a connection
and Chicago ays-
easterly to Cairo.
