Kulen or the St. Lonl> Cotton
TSxdiauKC.
Since Alexander, the great St. Louis
cotton dealer, has fallen in the midst
of his triumphs, like the great con
querer whose name he bears, the St.
Louis Cotton Exchange lias gone to
work to revise its rules, and spread its
nets for other fish. At a meeting on
Saturday the following additions to the
former code of laws were adopted,
evincing, as the papers inform us, "on
the part of the Exchange, a determi-
nation to throw every safeguard and
protection around shippers and the
general interests of the trade."
It is provided that all samplers,
liorers, weighers and classers shall be
licensed by the Cotton Exchange.
Only one sample, not to exceed eight
ounces in weight, is to be drawn from
a ba'.e, and, before weighing, all pick-
ings and trimmings of samples, to-
gether with such cotton as may have
become detached, are to be returned to
the bale.
Warehousemen are requested to gath-
er and save all scraps, hoops, etc.,
that may result from the handling of
cotton in their respective buildings,
and report same at intervals to the
Secretary of the Cotton Exchange, and
if found of sufficient importance, the
aggregate amount to be pro-rated
among receivers for the benefit of ship-
pers.
In the matter of mixed packed cotton
a rule was adopted releasing the seller
from all responsibility after acceptance
of the cotton by the purchaser. Where
fraudulent packing is involved—cot-
ton containing foieign substances, as
stones, iron, etc., or presence of un-
usual and evidently dishonest quanti-
ties of sand—a rule was made holding
the seller responsible to reclamation
for the period of six months. Pur-
chasers are to be furnished and hold
samples for the space of ten days, when
they will be returned to seller.
The question of warehouse receipts
was also considered, and as a means of
rendering this class of commercial
paper less liable to fraudulent manipu-
lation, and to give greater security to
those negotiating it as collateral, the
Exchange determined that all certifi-
cates representing cotton shall be lith-
ographed or engraved, and printed on
tinted paper, in colored inks.
An important rule to warehousemen
is that which makes those storing in
the open air responsible for short
weight, which may occur in different
ways, as by stealago, or getting wet
and being weighed when damp, with
consequent shrinkage when dry—they
are also held for damage from rot,
stain, etc., consequent upon such ex-
posure. Cotton stored in covered
warehouses is not subject to these dis-
criminations.
The Granicerft.
The Kansns Executive Committee
warn those who organize Granges in
occupied territory, that, in th« future
they will have to consolidate with
other Granges, or surrender their
charter.
The first Grangers' store in Missouri
is located at Windsor, Henry county,
with a capital of $10,000.
The South is rivaling the North and
West in the number and strength of
her Granges. The members of these
Grange-, wherever located, arc breth-
ren. They do not ask each other
whether a decade ago they wore the
grey or the blue. They only want to
know they are American citizens, and
working for the same laudable ob-
ject.
The Grange movement lias been
more successful in California than
elsewhere. Not content with the suc-
cess already achieved, the Patrons are
starting a bank of their own, with a
capital of $5,000,000, in 50,000 $100
shares. The 1'atrons have been en-
abled to charter fifty vessels themselves
this year, and are confident that facili-
ties will 1)3 ample in future to take all
their grain to market.
Koman Catholics in Wisconsin are
leaving the Oranges, the liishop of
Milwaukee having issued a pastoral
against them.
L'nadilla Grange, Ann Arbor, Michi-
gan, thinking that a wage of $>0 a
month was too high for hired men,
sent an agent to New York to capture
forty newly arrived Germans, and en-
gage them for a season. After two
weeks' work he secured his men, and
paid their fares West. Arriving at
Oiclsea, Michigan, all but eight re-
fused to disembark, and went further
West, while six of the eight hired
themselves to countrymen who were
not Patrons. The Grange is out about
$1000 by the attempt to import cheap
German labor.

Thursday Evening, August 13, 1874. f
Buyers seem more numerous to-day,
and orders seem fully up to the average
of business during the past portion of
the month. The grocery department
participated to > greater extent' in the
movement than any other branch of trade.
Prices of the principal commodities in
the general market are without material
variation, and the jobbing sales have
been light, especially of bacon, which
continues firm. Flour is dull and diffi
cult to move.
The following extracts from our New
York exchanges will be found more ap
propriate to this column than the history
of the Harriet Lane capture, which acci-
dently appeared under the heading of
"Commercial" in this morning's edition :
AN OPINION.
Mr. E. J. Honnell, of New York, an
authority upon cotton statistics, in a let-
ter, under date of July 23, to the Presi-
dent of the Cotton Exchange, rashly
risks his reputation by expressing the
following' opinion : " That the growing
cotton crop will be the largest since the
war," basing his opinion on a well-known
aphorism among the planters, " a dry
May, a wot July, a fair August and Sep-
tember, and a large crop," which has this
year been followed thus far.
A NEW VAUIETY OK COFFEE.
A uew variety of coffee has been ex-
hibited on the Kio Exchange. It differs
from the ordinary kinds in cultivation in
that the berry is more spherical, and yel-
low instead of red. It was discovered at
Botacuto, in San Paulo. The berry is
stated to be one-third richer in the caffeine
than the common descriptions.
liETORT OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL-
TURE FOR JULY.
The official report of the Department
of Agriculture for J uly is condensed in
the following:
In Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia
and Kentucky the condition of winter
wheat is unusually favorable, but the
other crops suffered terribly from the
severe drouth. In the Middle States and
those north of the Ohio the crop is gene-
rally above the averago. West of the
Mississippi it is also good, except where
late sowings were caught by chinch bugs.
Iu New England the average is small.
The Fultz seed wheat furnished by the
Department is reported upon favorably in
seme lucalites, but yielded lightly and
rusted badly in others. Tappahannock
is also successful. Spring wheat in New
England and on the Pacific coast was
well above average, but fell below in the
Middle and Northwestern, on account of
the ravages of chinch bugs. Alabama
has increased her acreage of sorghum
11 per cent.; Minnesota, 9 per cent.;
Texas, l> per cent.; Mississippi and Arkan-
sas, 5 per cent.; in other States it is de
ficient, Kentucky noticeably showing a
decline of 43 per cent. Six States report
the cultivation of sugar cane, in all of
which tlio acreage has been increased.
The wool clip is larger than last year.
There is a very marked increase of wool
production in the States west of the Mir-
xissippi and on the Pacific coast.
CALIFORNIA WHEAT.
The surplus wheat crop of California
for this year is estimated at not far from
750,000 tons, or about 25,000,000 bushels,
more, it is feared, than there will be
transportation for.
READ YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES.
State Insurance Commissioner Row,
of Michigan, offers the subjoined sug-
gestion : We have, in previous reports,
called the attention of policy-holders to
the r,e:essity of carefully reading poli-
cies. The increasing correspondence
with citizens who have entered into con-
tracts without noting the conditions of
the same, makes such a caution again
necessary. It would seem that fair
minded companies could agree upon a
imple, plain form of policy con-
tract, and waivo the maze of tech-
nical conditions, which are strangely
confusing even when the small type in
which they are usually printed can be
read. Many of the policy conditions ren-
der the policy void without any collusion
whatever of the insured, and no effort on
his part could counteract them. Compa-
nies which reserve the right to cancel at
will, should plainly set forth whether the
insured may claim the like privilege.
Most of the companies doing business in
this State concede this right", to policy-
holders. Some, however, do not ; and it
behooves the signer of notes which are
given for five years in advance for antic-
ipated insurance, to fully understand his
rights as to the cancellation of his policy,
and also the important consideration of
the cancellation and return of the notes
given.
