It has three lofty ttones, which are
crowned by a castellated cornice, that

rj MORE ABOUT COTTON.'
Vlcnrea to Show That There Will Ba a
Smaller Crop Than la Generally Ex
pected. .; i'.'.'""-
New York, Tan 8. Atwood -Violett
& Co. say: About two weeks ago we es
timated the amount to come into sight
by the end of December. 5,600,000 bales;
the exact figures, according to the New
Orleans Cotton. Exchange, are 5.400,000.
It is what is to come into stent- from
Jan. 1 to Sept. 1 that is now worrying
the high crop esti maters. The planter
has insisted this year upon making, per
haps, 500,000 less than their minimum
estimate df Dec. 24, and while it
is a great pity that the South cannot
accommodate estimates, they will have
to stand iL Our New Orleans' house re
ports stock at thirty-six of the. principal
towns and cities in Mississippi at 30,110,
against 53,384 last year, while Tyler,
Texas, reports 700 stock unsold, against
6,000 last year. The usual thing by those
who are bearing the market is immedi
ately to discredit such reports.
Uur ban Antonio telegram to-day says
that eighteen of the largest towns in that
section show stocks of 6,000. against 11,-
000 last year. The movement and tbe
stocks ot twelve months ago were un
usually small, and to fall even under
those figures shows a condition of things',
if it applies .to the whole State, which
confirms the smaller estimates . from
there.
We have, through thick and thin,
stood up tor the correctness of our cor
respondents, and though the movement
for some time has shaken the faith of
many as to these impressions, and at the
same time made us doubt, temporarily,
the existence of a small production this
season.
The circular of I. E. Glenny & Co. says:
The upward tendency of prices appears
to be caused by an anticipation of an
early falling off in receipts and a certain
amount of speculation which has re
mained dormant of late, seems to have
entered the market within the past few
days, but each advance brings out sellers
of long cotton, and the demand is freely
met on all strong markets.
McElroy & Co.'s circular says : The
new year has opened with 5,400,000 bales
in sight. The trade, looking back over
the experience of a number of years
past, appears to have adopted 2,000,000
as the maximum possible receipts for the
balance of tbe season, and, therefore,
7,400,000 as a maximum crop. When it
comes to a minimum, however, there is
a wide diversity of opinion, and those
who contend that the movement from
now on, owing to the extremely favorable
fall, which permitted an unusually rapid
marketing, must be below the average of
recent years,- are supported In their
belief by the late advices from many
sections. These, with remarkable unani
mity, indicate that there is not only a
less amount to be sent forward in the
way of stocks held at the towns, but also
a smaller proportion remains on farms
and plantations to come forward.
Whether these reports are true or not,
the general conviction that the move
ment will show a decided decrease will
undoubtedly have a tendency to cause
all who are able to hold back what they
can and in this way bring about a de
cidedly smaller movement for a couple
of weeks to come.

Archie Boyd is well-known for his ex
cellent rendition for four years past of
the part of Joshua Whitcomb in the
Old Homestead, -and his new play is
one worthy of him. " If was written ex
pressly for him by Charles A. Krone. It
a quaint domestic character picture of
everyday life, rich in simple pathos and
humor, and entirely devoid of the'
.stilted situations, and strained ef
fects that characterize the average
production of to-day. Free from all
morbid sentimentality, it appeals directly
to the human heart and Its noblest sen
timents, thereby indirectly conveying a
moral lesson in a manner that cannot
but be delightful and instructive to the
most fastidious and exacting taste.
Like the "Old Homestead." which has
been pronounced a model of American
plays, the situations and language,
though drawn from the conditions and
vernacular of everyday life, are at times
elevated to poetry, while the plot has an
organic connection rarely iou'nd in any
other play of its kind.
It will be presented at the Opera
House to-morrow night.

out in the same building, but was put
