J. FRED. EFFINGER, Prest. R. A. Springs Oo.
After twelve years absence I return to this post
of duty, ft is hardly necessary to dilate to the
Southern public upon the virtues and value of this
mineral water. It lias in the last half century made
a record of cures, which for variety and aggrava-
tion of the cases brought under its influence, is un-
approaohed by any known mineral water in this
country. The professional testimony to this effect
is most distinguished and unimpeachable. But it
is of the preparations now being most liberally
made by the new proprietors for the proper enter-
tainment of the public I would say a few words.
A great work of expurgation and renovation is
now going on at the old Alum Springs, including a
thorough system of drainage, a new and abundant
water supply of pure freestone from the mountain,
re-painting, new roofing, a vsry large introduction
of new furniture, and in general a thorough over-
hauling of the entire premises.

FINANCIAL FILCHIWQS.
The Secretary of the Treasury is having greater
success in carrying out his policy in relation to the
maturing bonds than the most sanguine of the
friends of the measure had anticipated. There is
now a well-grounded expectation that before Con-
gress meets all the 6s and 5s in the hands of the
banks will have been funded at the new rate, aBd
the applications for a continuance from private
holders is larger than was anticipated.
Our local money market has continued to rule
easy, the applications for discounts being scarcely
equal to the current maturities of paper, and there
being a gain hi the supply of loanable funds. The
banks take all of the acceptable paper offered at 6
per cent., and in the open market prime business
paper is negotiated at 5®6 per cent. On prime
collaterals money is obtained at 5 per cent, on call
or specific time.
No matter what the political economists and
theorizers may say about international trade
bal.uiooH, it is pleasing to note by the Treasury
statistics that the United States exports of pro-
duce exceeded the imports by $243,445,899 during
the year ending March 31.
The new French tariff, which goes into effect be-
fore 1882, will greatly increase the duties on some
American products. On live cattle the duty is
raised from t) to 15 francs per head. The duty on
•petroleum will be augmented. We export about
$3,000,000 of this article per annum to France, and
could largely increase the quantity if the duties
were not so onerous. Other duties will be increased
about 25 per cent, on the average.
Before the United States resumed payments on a
gold basis, it was supposed in Europe that our very
large production of silver made the Republic ear-
nestly anxious for the universal use of the metal
for coinage purposes. But now that the entire
paper currency, commerce and wealth of the Re-
public are adjusted to a gold standard, with the
international balance of trade in our favor, an im-
mense stook of gold on hand, and the precious
metal flowing iu upon us from Europe in a steady
stream, it is begiuning to be evident that the United
States has nothing to lose by any action that
Europe can take as to the relative values of silver
and gold.
COMMERCIAL MISCELLANY.
Clippings from New York exchanges of the 7th
instant:
Hides.—Fair amounts of most classes of hides
are moving off, aod, while the purchases make no
material impression upon the spot supply, holders
are still enabled to maintain prices, ana the mar-
ket looks quite firm in tone.
Scrap Iron-.—Desirable lots of wrought are still
held at $28 00@30 00 in yard. There is very little
movement of the article, however, and no proba-
bility tliat an advance on the inside figures named
could be realized, except possibly for small lots.
Dry Goods. —Quietness has been the dominant
feature of the dry goods market to-day, owing in a
measure to unfavorable weather, which caused
many buyers to defer operations in spriDg and
summer fabrics. Mail ana telegraphic orders were
received in fair numbers by the commission houses,
but personal selections were individually light and
collectively moderate. The jobbing trade has as a
rule been quiet, but a fair business in domestics,
prints, ginghams and some kinds of department
goods was reported bj" some of the larger jobbers.
Grain Crops.—The New York Bulletin, of the
th, says: There is no news from the groat grain-
Trowing States within the week past that is not as
favorable as could be desired. Latest dispatches
bear out this view from Nebraska. Indiana aud the
Red River Valley and North Dakota. Correspond-
ents from the last-mentioned region are especially
confident as to the future, and assert that the
largest crop ever sown in the new Northwest is
going in. It is also shown that recent reports of
disastrous floods in the wheat region there had but
little, if any, foundation in fact.
Cokpek.—Bulletin of the 7th: Holders of the
stock of Rio appeared to be speaking a trifle more
confidently to-day, and generally file market was
quoted steady on a basis of HJ4o. for fair. As yet
buyers move slowly, and beyond looking at a lew
additional samples manifested no decided interest.
It is expected, nowever, that with'the opening of
the next week a better distribution will set in and
reflect itsel' upon the jobbing market.
Drcos.—N. Y. Bulletin, 7th: Opium^closes very
weak, with sellers at $4 37^j@4 50, in bond, and
more than a possibility of some lots being secured
at $4 25. Morphine could be had at $4 10@4 15
from outside holders, though no change in manu-
facturers' price is announced. Quinine is looking
somewhat weaker again, though the cable advices
name prices abroad higher than those current bere.
Camphor has sold at a fraction under 25c. Other
goods are without quotable change, but the general
market is weak and very dull.
Hardware.—An improving tendency may be
noted on the general market, aud for most kinds of
seasonable goods the volume of business is gradu-
ally increasing. Interior transportation facilities
are daily becoming better and cheaper, and the
country dealers are commencing to fill up their
assortments. The feeling on the market is cer-
tainly more cheerful, and the tendency toward
further improvement. No really new changes are
announced on prices this week, but manufacturers
are publishing lfsts to conform to recently adopted
revisions. Production has been fair, and some
specialties commence to feel the influence of in-
creasing orders. Nails selling slowly and in a some-
what irregular manner, with intimations that the
list rates are not in all cases closely adhered to.
The quotation, however, must still be made on a
basis of $3 15 per keg for 10d. to 60d., with the
usual allowance for large invoices.

News Ojtick, Tuesday. May 10.—Trade contin-
ues quiet In all Its branches, and no special activ-
ity has been shown in either drugs, dry goods or
hardware.
The condition of the market for the leading
staple continues unsatisfactory and weak, with an
unsettled feeling to-day, proceeding, in part, from
the failure of a large firm at Amsterdam, supposed
to be heavily interested in cotton. The decline at
Liverpool to-day is said to be due to the closing out
of their interests in that market and apprehension
of further failures.
The hog produce and grain markets are irregular,
and part of yesterday's decline was recovered to-
day, with a small advance on some meats. Lard is
also higher. The closing telegrams to the Ex-
change to-day are as follows: Wheat at St. Louis
deolined to $1 10; May, $1 10^J bid; June, $1 OTJi;

COTTON.
Sales to-day, 1131 bales. Market easy and irreg-
ular. Offerings free and demand moderate. Six
buyers participated in the purchases. Liverpool
advices marked a decline of l-16d. on spot
and l-16@3-32d. on deliveries. This decline is
attributed partly to the closing out of long
cotton, which is supposed to have been held
for account of the firm of B. H. Schroeder at
Amsterdam, whose failure was announced j ester-
day. New York lost 1-lGc. on spot, and futures
ruled weak and declining, but recovered a part of
the decline, closing only 2@6 points lower than last
evening. Receipts at the ports last year were not
more than one-third of the total to-day. The ex-
cess is 5355 bales.

13/iectol Correspondence of The JVisicj.J
New York, May 6.—It was kiting day for the
small stocks, particularly the Gould fancies. The
big stocks hung lire—there did not appear to be
any rush for them—and as it would not do to let
the bull movement flag, the light-weights were
taken in hand and moved briskly upward. But ifc
must not be supposed all the reputed sales were
bona-fide purchases of stock, paid for iu cash, as
this would be a heavy mistake. The sales were to
a large extent professional ones, and recorded to
swell the list and attract the eye of the public.
Missouri-Pacific, once struck" from the call as
worthless, was to-day reported sold at 102. This is
the road that is to absorb the Don Mountain, which
latter made a further bounce to-day to 73^. Texas-
Pacific also rose to 65. and the story is that both
this stock and the Don Mountain will be withdrawn
from the list by June 1, and that by the 20th of the
present month the Texas-Pacific will be Incorpo-
rated in the Southwestern system. Kansas and
Texas joined hands with the above in an advance
to 50U, agaiust 40^ yesterday. International sold
up to 92; Mem phis and Charleston to 73Ohio

_ Cotton, f$r the moment, is being " milked by
those who control the market* these parties put
the price up in the morning, wnich frightened the
these parties
Jng, which frighten
shorts into covering, ana, perhaps, to buy for an
upward turn, when down" the "price is sent, and
they sell out at a double loss, a few leading opera-
tors managing the whole thing. What Is
really desired now by those who
control the stock here, is for prices
abroad to advance sufficiently to admit of further
shipments, thus narrowing supplies in thia and the
Southern markets and enanling the manipulators to
maneuver a sharp twist before the season is over.
Liverpool is certainly very steady in the face of a
stock of 1,000,000 hales, which wili probably be her
maximum, and if steady now, it is felt she will im-
prove as the stock gradually falls oft. Tne foreign
market closed easier this afternoon, on account of
lower prices here, which wepe on a basis of 10.50
tor Julies and 10.57 for A'urnst.

Paris North Texan: Mr. Luther B. Smith,
of Columbia, Mo., left here ou the 30th ultimo
with 1653 head of one, two and three-year-old
steers, bought in this county, for hi3 Pease
River ranch, Hardeman county, this State.
Mr. Smith expressed himself well pleased with
the condition aud quality of the cattle bought.
Carefully compiled statistics show that the
cattle trade of this country last year was
larger in volume than in 1879, and more profit-
able to farmers and stock-raisers, and to drov-
ers and shippers likewise. It appears also that
the operations of last season were more re-
munerative to ranchmen in the West and
Southwest than for several years past. The
increase in the business is shown by the in-
creased receipts and heavier transactions, both
at the centers of the Westem cattle trade and
in the Eastern markets. The latter show an
increased export trade, and a mora discrimi-
nating home demand, which had the effeot of
bringing out more cattle of a higher
grade than usual. According to Brad-
street's, Philadelphia took last year 218,606
head, against 197,959 in 187®, wiile Boston,
New York and Baltimore report an increase of
receipts for export. The receipts at Boston,
New York and Philadelphia were mainly from
the Western States, but those at Baltimore
were largely from the South; and it is signifi-
cant as indicating the growth of this branch of
business in some of the Southern States that
Virginia sent 51,963 head, West Virginia 21,-
007 head and Maryland 8219 head. Bo far as
the graximg regions of the Southwest are con-
cerned the result of the trade of 1880 was mqre
satisfactory than for a number of years past.
In Texas and the Indian Territory tne bufflbaBs
doue was much greater than in 1879, find the
outlook is still very favorable for at) increase
this year, notwithstanding the severity of the
past winter and the losses it occasioned.
Victoria Advocate: Captain Q-. O. Stoner
purchased the stock of cattle owned by Colonel
George L. Whitney, in this county, last week.
About $10 50 per head was the price paid....
Dr. J. L. Garlrell will start with a drOVe of
horses and mules for the Missouri market next
week, and will ship from Houston..,.Captain
Mathis shipped on Wednesday 450 cbdlce beef
cattle for the Havana market by the steamer
Uussie from Indianola Mr. R. K. MoMordie
has started a herd of 1700 young steer cattle to
Cheveiiutt, Wyoming Territory. The cattle
were bought from Messrs. JohnO'Bran, Henry
Scott and Allen Heard, of Refugio.
Goliad Guard: Mr. Horace Lund, of Rio
Gi-aude City, was in town this week with a
herd of Mexican horses for sale. He will
drive further east Mr. B. L. Word will
start next week with a drove of saddle-iiorses
for the Eastern markets T. P. Lenoir, Esq.,
sold a few days ago 993 head of cattle to But-
ler & Nicholls, of Karnes county, consisting
of one and two-year-olds. Price §7 and $10.

SHIi£r A .Ml WOOZ.
San Antonio Light, May 6: A representative
of the Light met Mr. J. M. Campbell, one of
the largest sheepmen in Mcilullen county,
yesterday. Mr. Campbell said tha« the pros-
S- sets for a profitable season for sheep men in
outhwest Texas are very good. The lambing
season has been very successful, and the wool
crop will be large and clean. In Mr. Camp-
bell's section lombriz has not prevailed to any
extent. Mr. Campbell has a ranch of 40,000
acres, upon which he has some 10,000 head of
very fine sheep. His arrangements are
complete, and he has earned the reputation of
being one of the best wool-growers of Sooth-
western Texas. Reports from other sections
of Western Texas are of a similar character,
and the sheep interests are reported is a
flourishing condition everywhere, except, per-
haps, in tne counties toward the coast, on the
low, flat lands, with coarse, rank grasi. There
are many complaints of the ravages of the
lombriz in that section, and sheepmen art be-
ginning to come to the conclusion that the
coast country is not adapted to sbeep-rsMng.
McKinney Enquirers Mr. 3. M. Graves, oi
Melissa, has shown us some samples of fine
wool, clipped from his Ootswold sheep, that Is
hard to;beat in any country. He has been ex-
tremely fortunate with them so far, not having
lost a lamb this spring.
Victoria Advocate: Mr. Q. Davidson sold
his spring clip of wool ou Wednesday to Mr,
Henry Levy, realizing 19 cents for the best
trade .The wool trade has been more active
uring the week than heretofore at til® season
of the vear, and many clips have been disposed
of at fancy prices. Our buyers are on the alert,
and vie with each other in the purchase of the
staple to such a degree that wool-growers can
rely on Victoria being one of the best markets
in the State. m
A Losing Joke.
A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said
jokingly to a lady patient who was complain-
ing of her continued ill health, and of his in-
ftbilitv to cure her, " try Hop Bitters I* The
lady took it in earnest and U9ed the Bitters,
from which she obtained permanent health.
She now laughs at the doctor for his Joke, but
he is not 90 well pleased with it, as it cost him
a good patient. [Harrislaurgh Patriot.
