Weekly Review of the Cotton Market—
Tlta Local Markets—Provisions, Su-
gar, Coffee, Ete.—Hides l-5fce. Lower.
Nawt Ovrtex, Friday, December 10.—The weather
continues clear, and with more timi the roads in the
Interior would dfy up rapidly. As it is they are im-
proving, but It will take ten days to two weeks with
fair weather to put them in an average condition
for travel. This interferes with the picking and the
hauling of cOUon to the depots, and will probably
show in the receipts during the next week.
In values we have again to chronicle further
weakness and lower prices for coffee. The cause
in this case being another heavy failure in the
trade at New York. The details are given in the
special from New York. The local movement has
been very light, and grocers are holding oflf. Sug-
ars have arrived freely. The figures are given un-
der the head of " Imports Coastwise " elsewhere.
The sales were light and prices easy.
In grain there was business done at the outside
figures quoted for corn yesterday. The spot sup-
ply is very light, but liberal supplies are said to be
overdue. Oats are plentiful, and prices aro favor-
ing buyers, owing to the improved prospect of get-
ting through, since the railroads consented to
bring cars through from remote western points.
Hides were reduced a half cent to-day, in response
to a similar decline in Montevideos at New York.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter says that hides are
weak because tanners have not the means to con-
vert them into leather as fast as they multiply;
leather is firm, because they are not making
enough of it to overcrowd the market. This state
of affairs places the tanning interest in a very safe
position. It gives the proprietors opportunities to
select their raw materials with leisurely deliberation
and to procure the kinds that are best adapted to
their wants. They are always free buyers. Those
of them who use dry hides, which are relatively
much more plentiful than green, have been for a
long time past largely stocked ahead. The great
majority of them have enough on hand to last
them sixty or ninety days. The importers are
holding large quantities, and there are numerous
cargoes on the way hither, and there are the strong-
est reasons for believing that after meeting all the
requirements of the largest measure of consump-
tion that is practicable, a considerable surplus
must remain.
There is not much doing in wool, but prices are
firmly maintained. Lynch's New York Circular
for November says:
The unsettled but quiet condition of the market
prior to the election gave way to an active trade
from the first week in November to the end of the
month, with prices steadily improving, the advance
within the time being five to ten per cent. There is
room for a further rise in clothing descriptions be-
fore reaching the importing point.
The circular says of Texas wools:
The market has been very active, especially for
the better descriptions of both spring and fall clips.
Arrivals have been unusually large, and there is
still a good supply on sale." held, however, with
much firmness, except the lower and ill-conditioned
descriptions, for which there is but little inquiry,
and prices of such are weaker.
The range of prices quoted for Texas wools is
19@33c.
In the cotton market the week closes with very
large receipts at the ports. The excess compared
with last year is over 4000 bales. This fact, as
well as that of fine, clear weather throughout the
South, had a depressing influence on the market,
which was not improved by the Manchester ad-
vices, which showed no improvement in that mark-
et. The unsettled condition of the sterling and
money markets has also contributed to cheek spec-
ulation and induce more eaution on the part of op-
erators. A Ef«ton correspondent writing upon the
outlook some days ago says:
The last American crop was 700,000 bales larger
j than its predecessor. It is estimated that if the
present crop is 300.000 bales larger than last year.
r,hen the visible supply next fall will be about as at
present. According to the Liverpool and other
authorities, the increase of 5u0,000 to 800,000 bales in
last year's crop, beyond the general expectation
last year at this time, was chiefly due to the excep-
tionally large amount of cotton growu and gatn
ered during the winter months in consequence of
the absence of frost. In other words, but for that
remarkable winter, the crop would not have yielded
over say 5.300.000 bales.
The estimates for this year appear to have aver
aged abfrut 6,000,000 bales, which quantity ft is cal-
culated will l>e required to satisfy the demands of
trade, and leave the reserve stoeks next fall the
same as now. I believe it is unquestioned that
there was an increase in the area planted, but it
would seem doubtful if this would mofe than sup-
ply the place of the cotton grown from this date
forward last year. The severe weather lately ex-
perienced all over the cotton belt is in great con-
trast with last season, and is in fact exceptional.
It would appear that 6.000.000 bales may be regard-
ed as an outside estimate of crop; many regard
5,700.000 a safer figure.
The attention of speculators was attracted to
I cotton last fall, resulting in a rapid advance of
1 about 4c. per pound. After the decline in the spring
it was generally felt that the advauce had only
been one of the many instances in the boom
of prices in all merchandise, and that the higher
prices reached in cotton had not been justified
j by the position and prospects of the staple. Now
that we can review the actual facts of the situa-
tion a year ago, and of the great increase of con-
sumption last year, it needs only the admission of
Messrs Ellison and others of the accidental large
increase of the crop by 400,000 bales of winter cot-
ton, to show that the prices of hist year were fully
warranted until the increased supply was assured.
With 400,000 bales less of supply, it is interesting to
consider what would have been the situation in Au-
gust and September last. Consumption must have
been checked by higher prices.
At St. Louis wheat opened lower to-day, but closed
better, at $1 01 for cash Decembers, and
higher on the options. Kansas City reduced No.

"Weekly Review ol" the Market.
The local demand throughout the week has been
I well maintained, but has shown a marked prefer-
ence for the better grades, and the disparity in
their values has increased. The falling off in re-
ceipts early in the week and better weather re-
ports, combined with less favorable trade reports,
i caused thte declines which are de-
I scribed below. The market to-day has
been weak and quite in contrast with the
activity of yesterday. The sales only amounted to
1158 bales, and the market closed weak. The move-
ment for the week and comparisons of to-day's and
j last week's quotations for this and other markets
| are appended.

NEW YORK LETTER.
The Money, Stock, Bond, Cotton, Hide
and Wool Market*.
[Special Correspondence of the News.]
New York, December 4.—Money opened more
comfortable, and stocks, as a result, improved.
Some large Canadian institution* offered money
early in the day, but it was not taken, and some of
the most active brokers represent that there is suf-
ficient money for all necessary purposes at not
above l-lti@ per cent., and perhaps at 6. The
banks, however, show continued poverty, with a
further cutting down of their loans this week to the
extent of nearly $8,009,000. and a turther loss In
serve of $2.356.0(k>. The statement caused st-xrksto
sell off. though money was obtainable on the Stock
Exchange at plain 6. and one time at 3. hut it is not
unusual for it to l>e offered at the close of the week
at rates nominally below its real value.- Monday
may see it stiffen again.
Bonds were in better demand for a Saturday, and
prices generally higher. Sales M.. K. & T. lsts at

Coffee dropped to 12^c. for fair Rio, at least sales
could not be made above that figure.
Sugar marked a decline of l-16c.
Sterling closed qmet 011 a nominal business basis
of 4.79 and 4.809-4^4.fel. Sales of cables were re-
ported at-the latter figure, and of prime at
4-79J*£, less 1-16, but the latter was an outside yrice.
A comparison of the bank statement with last
year shows them $10,000,000 worse m reserve.
The gold imports this week were $:i,440.000, and
from August 2, $50,746,000. against $08,000,000 the
same period in *79.
Liverpool was a disappointment to the bears in
cotton, as a decline of 1-%@I-Hd. was looked for
with sides of not over 5000 bales, whereas the mark-
et came higher, with sales of 10.000 bales. The re-
sult was our market, at once advanced lOv 12
points, and held most of the improvement until the
last half hour, when the bears made a raid f»nd
broke prices to about last night's closing. This was
done to affect Liverpool on Monday. The sales of
contracts for the week eoding to-day were l,211.itX>
bales, and quotations compared with Saturday last
are 22^27 points lower, though the weather
reports and crop accounts in the CSronicle
to-day are described as the worst <*vr*r known. The
Southern markets, it is said, would be firmly main
tained in the face of these gloomy accounts hut for
the scarcity of money. At the same time ii must
be remembered that Liverpool is compelled to pay
for cotton with gold, which is her Kfe-blood. anil
she will buy it as elxeap as possible. Receipts at
New Orleans next week are entered at not over 42,-
000. or about one-half what they should be.
Stocks closed 1 @2 per cent, off from their best,
but tolerably steady. Jay Gould's brokers offered
money down to 2 per cent, at the close, which
shows that he has a sufficiency. At the same time
a bid of 6 per eent. and % was made to call for
$100,000 on any day next week.
One of the Panama canal syndicate informs your
correspondent that, according to present adviee«.
the subscriptions to the shares on the other ? V
will exceed the amount offered at least three or
four times over.
It is announced by the Treasury that no books
will be prepared for the registered interest on the
1880s; it is presumed this announcement is ma^l-
because of the fact that the bonds have been sold
on the street ex interest.

A GOOD CASE FOB SOUK HIGHER LAW.
In times past, much has been said and written
about " a higher law." It was a great argument,
and one that was used with effect by the old-time
abolitionists when confronted with the Constitutioa
of the United States on the slaveiy Question. Gen.
Dan Sickles was acquitted of killing Key, the
seducer of his wife, by a jury who ignored the
written law and the charge of the judge, 1 *
• " higher law " as their guide. On general pri
. s. I think this " higher law " business is very dan-
gerous, and I don't want to be understood a* iu* ad-
vocate; but occasions do arise wheat the written
law is so manifestly weak, entirely inadequate to
meet the emergency, that it almost makes on* an
advocate of the 44 higher law" jtheory. Where is
the remedy in the written law for a blasted reputa-
tion, where one man maliciously and cowardly
steals the good name of another and gives
him no opportunity to vindicate hiawelf ? And
how much worse is it when the injured party is a
woman, a young and innocent girl, whose good
name is her all, rtiore precious than Kite itself. Such
a case is before the public of Western Texas? A
few months ago the public was electrified by the
news that Louis T. %'alentine, of this city, was
charged with incest with a sntteen-vearokl daugh-
ter in Flatonia. By the many who knew the family
in this city,where they had always held a position of
the highest res|>ectabflity, the thought ot the guilt
of the parties was never allowed to enter. But at
Flatonia it was otherwise, and great indignation,
with threats of summary punisiimeut. prevailed.
The accused were finally allowed to give bond and
returned to their home, bowed down with shame
and heart-broken. What else could be the condi-
tion of a refined and intelligent nature* Al-
though conscious of their innocence, they were still
met f>y the unfeeling and too credulous world with
a look of distrust. They longed for the time of
their vindication to come, when they c«>nld over-
whelm their traducers with proof, and again re-
ceive the confidence of the world. Alas! so deep-
rooted was the malice that prompted the enven-
omed stab into the reputation of a pure and inno-
cent girl, that it denied them even the poor satis-
faction of a vindication, and therefore leaves a
cloud of an undefined, nameless sin to rest forever
upon the life of this fair and innocent child.
When the parties who had made the charge
against Louis S. Valentine aad daughter
were called upon to appear before the grand
jury in LaGrange a few days ago, they could either
not be found, or refused, and the accused, who
were ready to meet their trial with such convincing
proof of their innocence that no jury would have
left their seats to have rendered a verdiot ot entire
acquittal,but were denied that poor satisfaction. Are
the people of Flatonia equally indignant at the ter-
rible outrage perpetrated upon two defenseless
strangers who were dragged before the unfeeling
public in such aq unenviable light * If they are not,
1 hey certainly lack a sense of justice that one is
yet unwilling to believe them guilty of. The fact
of the power of the accused to prove their inno-
cence has been in possession of yarn- correspondent
for some time, and was withheld until it could be
brought to light in the proper time and place, but
as tliat opportunity has been denied them, the
above lines are i>enned in hope that they may, in
some measure, accomplish, in the war of a vindica-
tion, what a fair trial would have done.
SPLINTERS.
A couple of ladies. t)je other day. speaking of a
popular jeweler of this city, a widower, who is quite
a ladies' man. one said: ~ Mr. Jingle is a very niee
man. but lie is like the old watches In his shop—he
needs repairing badly."
Ti»e prospects for the building interests for the
coming year in San Antonio are better than ever
before.
The city Ls full of strangers, k great many of
whom are invalid*.
The standing joke of the season: 44 It never rains
west of the Colorado."
Parties ai-e buying up hogs In Wilson county, for
which they are paying three cents per hundred
poumi*. gr>nw weiirht, at the ranchos.
A certain business man of this city went into the
telegraph office, the other day, with a dispatch,
which the operator found not signed, and requested
the sender to do so. whereupon he said: 44 O, it
dont make any difference; they know my hand-
writing."
" It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good."
Tit eterribie mud that everybody complains of, and
which has assumed the consistency of mortar, is
utilized by the Mexicans to plaster their houses,
r»*f «air tiie floors and fix up their sidewalks.
San Antonio now has direct connection with the
City of Mexico by stage. The route is to Laredo,
then to Monterey by a recently «^stabltshed line,
from which point the old established Mexican line
of coaches go to the capital of our sisrer Republic.
Not many ye*rs * ill elapse before this trip will be
made by rail.
Tlie Alamo City almost ranks with the noted city
of Cologne for the multiplicity and strength of its
stenches, an«! therefore should follow the example
of its larger and older sister city, and engage in the
manufacture of perfumes. " Hans Micklk.

united states circuit court decisions.
San Antonio, December 9, 1880.—The term of the
United States Circuit Court just held was remark-
aide not only in the amount of business trausacted,
but in the importance of some of the decisions ren-
dered by Judge Woods. The following are some of
the most important:
1. That in the removal of a cause from a State
court to the United States Circuit Court, iiu o'der
in the Stat*? court is necessary, aud that, after the
proper bond and petition are filed in the State
court, the filing of One record in tune gives the Cir-
cuit t3ourt jurisdiction. {Hotlis vs. Troy.]
2. That the parties to a case of removal must on
each side be all of different States from the otlier.
I Blum et al. vs. .j Remanded to State
court where defendants were citizens uf Texas, and
one only of the plaintiffs was a citizen of New
Yorkrhe oUier two of Texas.
3. That ofiicers of tlie army ami soldiers have no
right to dispose of what is known as surplus sup-
plies of corn and provender for the benefit ot the
company fund; and ofiicers, soldiers or citizens
receiving the same are liable to prosecution for
•felony: and that soldiers are only bound to obey the
legal orders of their superiors. [United States vs.
Stapleton. where the defense offered to prow that
the corn sold was done under the order of his cap-
tain. but which evidence was ruled out.]
4. That in a case of trespass u> try title, when the
land scrip liad been sold before location, and patent
however issued to the heirs or original holder of the
scrip, evidence of the sale* was excluded, on the
ground that the defense was an equitable one. and
not available on the law side of the docket. [Davis
vs. W. R. Baker et aL 1
OUR WATERWORKS AGAIN.
I promised to tell you what our Council did on
the waterworks question. It did what the Irish-
man shot at—nothing. In fact, it did not meet, for
fear it might do something. But the agitation
waxes warmer as the election approaches. The
Surprise has been pouring hot shot into the
waterworks aud there is a consequent seething and
boiling. The Times, which at first favored the
compromise, has seen the error of its ways aud
now prefers the old contract to the compromise (r),
which would be but another iron collar on the
necks of the already too much fettered people.
From the appearance of things now, this question
will be kept out of sight as much a^ possible until
after the election. This, no doubt, w ill be the tac-
tics of the waterworks party, who dread an
agitation and consequent enlightenment of the
public on the subject.
To give an idea of the extent of the exactions of
the waterworks company of this city, and to en-
lighten others who contemplate the *itaniishment
of waterworks. I append a carefully compiled tabie
by CoL Waring, published in the Plumber and San-
itary Engineer, of October 15, 1880. This journal is
standard authority on such matters, and eulogizes
CoL Waring as a gentleman who Is eminently lit
for that work, and entirely trustworthy. To the
table 1 add Sau Antonio, by way «>f comparison,
and to which particular attention is called:
Horsford's Acid Phosphate should
taken by those who perform mental labor,
acts as a brain-food. _

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
The I*Iatter of an Extra Session—Sena-
torial Ctssip-The Christlancy Scan*
dal-tiarriridS Administration—" Tlie
Surrender of Dnleisno."
{Special Correspondence of the News.]
Washington, December 3, loSO.—In his rounds
to-day your correspondent has seen Senators
Jones, of Florida, Garland, of Arkansas, and Yoor-
hees, "the tall sycamore of the Wabash." Tfce
gentlemen are all in favor of woric and do not deem
it wise to give a necessity for an extra session.
Senator Garland, of Arkansas, is one of the ablest
lawyers in tlie Senate, and lie thinks that the Con-
stitution provides for an extra session -jniy under
very important and urgent circumstances. The
democrats propose (at least that is the sentiment
now 1 to do all that is neeessary so that this import-
ance and urgency will not exist and furnish an ex-
cuse for an extra session.
Day before yesteavlav Vice President Wheeler ar-
rived and took quarters at the Riuga. A vice presi-
dent receives less attention here than any otter
dignitary. About the only patronage this office has
here is to appoint the caterer of the Senate restau-
rant. The vice president is prominently mentioned
for senator from New York, but will make no indi-
vidual or personal efforts for the honor. Senator
C'onkhng, the eagle bird of New York repub-
licans. will. doubtless. in his lordly and
kingly manner, name his colleague, the next
senator from the Empire State. C< inkling
is undoubtedly the master of the republican side
of the Senate.
Tomorrow the genial face of old man Hannibal
Hamlin will be seen here. The okl gentleman has
been accused of oeing born during the fiush days
of the Roman Empire, and is supposed to have been
the associate ami companion ot Scipio Af ricanns
and Pompey's friend, and tlie playmate of Susan
B. Anthony. Ni»twithstanding the little jokes that
the public "have on okl Hannibal, he is a jolly, fun-
loving and genial old gentlemen. He is polite and
attentive to tlie ladies and dances in every set they
will let him. He fancies he is a good dancer, ana
although his Steps are fashioned after the school of
Aristides and Mark Anthony, yet he does well
enough. Every evening after dinner one can se©
this man. who was vice president with Abraham
Lincoln, ami now senator from Maine, dressed in
his swallow-tail coat, plug liat. slippers, and with a
cigar stuck away back under his upper hp, go into
the billiard-saloon of the Willard Hotel, take a seat
and enjoy himself in watching a good game of
billiards. The old senator enjoys amusements and
delights in seeing others enjoying the same.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, has been here some
time. Everybody likes Mr. Stephens, and he com-
mands tlie respect of all parties. In looking down
from the galleries 01 the House, many ask: "Who
is that little okl man in the wheeling-chair with his
hat on?" Some one always answers: "Aleck
Srepheas, of Georgia.*1 Mr. Stephens! seldom
speaks, but wheels himself around in his chair in
front of the speaker's stand and seems to watch
everything going on. When he does speak, the
speaker recognizes liim, and there is something
fascinating in his peculiarly musical voice which
gets the attention of all. He is truly a wonderful
man for a helpless invalid.
The Christiancy scandal or divorce suit is about
ended, so far as "ex-Senator Christiancy's charges
against his wife are concerned. It will be remem-
bered that, some years ago. Senator Christiancy
married a pretty Treasnrv belle. It created a furor
among the giris in tlie "d«i>artments, and many
others looked out to catch a senator or member, but
old man Christiancy was the only one of them cap-
tured in the bonds r*f matrimony. After marriage,
the young lady and the old senator were not happy.
She sued for a divorce on the grounds of
cruelty. He. in turn, to offset her petition, also
brought suit, and charged adultery. The evidence
was adduced yesterday. Tlte ex-senator's chief
witness was the hotel clerk. By this witness he in-
tended to prove that Mrs. Christiancy came to the
hotel in a hack on Christmas day. 1879. and went to
the room of one Giro aiul remained several hours.
The witness described the lady as a blonde, rather
slender, with light hair. At this point counsel de-
manded that Mrs. Christiancy be produced, to be
identified by the witness. Mrs. C!>rwtianey came
In, when the witness, on seeing tlie lady, exclaimed;
" Why, that is not the lady I saw'.All were ss-
toumfed. Counsel asked: " Are you certain?"
Witness answered: "Ye«. Iam. Hie lady I saw
at Giro's room had lighter hair, was taller and
slighter in figure.*' This was the ex-senator's chief
witness to prove the adultery of his wife; so ho
must fail in his suit. Some other woman had been
pointed out to the clerk as Mrs. Christiancy, and
hence his presence as a witness for her husband.
Many surmises are made here as to the policy of
Garfield's administration. One thing is certain,
and that is. Grant and Grant s friends will be on the
best terms with the president-elect. Some demo-
crats h^-re say that if Garfield pursues a pacific
policy, like Mr. Hayes. It wiH do much to break up
the solid South. But if he goes, body and policy,
over to the stalwarts, it will keep the democracy to-
gether and alwavs insure a solid So nth. Whatever
1 nay be said of Garfield derogatory, one thing in
his "favor is conceded—that is, he is a man of big
brain and great ability, and many think hie sound
judgment will control him. It is to be hoped so,
for if he was to permit the extremists of his party
to control him. it would only strengthen bad feel-
ing and perpetuate sectional strife.
A Boston newspaper man asked your correspond-
ent to-day the condition of the people of Texas. Itold
him: " prosperous, plenty of cotton and corn and
rtM»m for millions of industrious, honest immigrants
from Massachusetts or anywhere else." He said to
me: *' Are :*jur people taking much interest in the
political result ? I told him that the only interest
since the election that our people were taking in
public affairs was, " that they were delighted at the
surrender of Dulcigno." He remarked, "What in
the b-11 have they got to do with Dulcigno?" L
told him that the newspapers of Texas had been
full of the siege and attack on Dulcigno, and. al-
though we did not know exactly where Dulcigno
v. as. still we liked to read the news from there, and
for four months we had been reading that Dulcigno
was expected to surrender—and when it did sur-
render we were naturally delighted to know that
this interesting question had been settled. I told
him that it pleased our people more than anything
that had happened—since the flood.
Chronic Constipation is not cured by
simpiy unloading the bowels. The medicine
must possess tonic, alterative and corrective
properties. These qualities are combined in
1)R. Turr's Pills, and the}' will permanently
cure this serious disease, and give tone to tM
nervous system.

Mount Pleasant (Trinity county) News: From ob-
servation we believe that unless the mode of trans-
porting passengers over the Texas and St. Louis
railroad is<*« changed soon, the company will loss
much of its patronage. We recently traveled over
the road in company with several traveling mer-
chants, and they each said unless a change was
made, that was thteir last trip over the road.
Denison News: We are credibly informed that

which was completed abeut a week or more ago...

Pilot Point Post. October 4: The construction
train now runs inside the corporate limits of Den-
ton. Regular trains will commence Wednesday_

in the city Thursday and told some of our citizens
that he had received orders to begin at once and
run the new line of the M., K. & T. from Fort Worth
to Camargo on the Rio Grande. J. W. Holt now
has a large force getting out ties south of town

the H. A T. and T. railway above and below Nava-
sota have been succeeded by oerman and Mexican

A very successful experiment with a compressed
air locomotive was recently made in Wollwich,
England The engine was provided with a reser-
voir of one hundred cubic feet capacity. With air
filling this chamber at one thousand pounds press-
ure on starting, a run of sixteen miles was easily
made at a fair rate of speed 80 great are the ad-
vantages of the "bottled air" for street railways,
tunnels, etc.. that an early adoption of this class of
motors in many localities is sanguinely expected.
The compression of the air is effected by means of
stationary steam engines.
