The exports for the week ending this evening reach'a total of 99,640 ' bales,", of. which 67,607 were to Great Britain, 13,224 to France and 18,789 to the , rest of the Continent, while the stocks , as made up this e veiling are now 931,806 bales. The weather at the South has been less favorable for the work of gather ing the crop; heavy tains have fallen jri the Northern belt and .the '.Missis sippi vajley, causing local floods, and tnlvsliwht extent interrupting rail road' transportation The movement of the crop has fallen off somewhat and the heavy exports or last wees had their influence. On Saturday the , market was dull and prices favored buyers', but in 'the course of Monday and Tuesday there was a considerable, advance. Wednesday saw part of this improvement lost, under the cloud of the Franco-China ; dilKciitties, which caused some sell ing to realize. . Thursday gave us a quiet but steadier market. :. To-day there was an irregular advance; No vember and December were decidedly higher, with hints at a possible "corner", on December contracts, but the later months showed little .im provement, and the business,' except in December and January contracts, was :very email. Cotton on the spot has been quiet but quotations were on Monday last advanced 1-J6c.

The lands had previously been sold because of the refusal of the owners to pay the direct tax levied by the government. There was a i provision that half, the proceeds of the land sold by the President's proclama tion should be returned to the State; one fourtn as a tuna to aid in tne colonization or emigration from the State of any person of African descent who desired to remove to Hay ti, - Liberia or any other tropical clime, and the remaining fourth to reim burse loyal citizens. The State entered claim for the proceeds of sale of Abe lands. The Bureau of Internal Revenue is of the opinion that only- the fourth to reim burse loyal citizens may be refunded, claiming that subsequent - legislation is contrary to the spirit of the provision con ¬ cerning tne fund for colonization, a he Commissioner recommends tb&t the claim of the State to the amount of $60,375 be allowed. Comptroller Lawrence, in a de cision on tne same case, opposts any sum being refunded. Owing to the ; Comp irouer s decision, opinion is expressed in the Internal Revenue Department that as the State of South Carolina is indebted to the United States in direct taxes charged against lands to the amount of $152,181. the claim may be allowed as an offset.

Disaster to the French Forces In Tonquln. I By Cable to the Morning Star. Paris, November 27. The LevaUoire denies the report that England had offered to mediate upon the Tonquin question, and that France had accepted the proffered mediation. . The Cabinet Council to-dav decided to rescind the decree forbidding the importo- tiod of American pork into France, pro vided the municipal authorities or the chambers of commerce of localities inter ested will agree to organize a system of pork inspection as has been advocated by merchants and autnonties oi Havre and. Marseilles. It is now considered certain that the matter will shortly be settled upon thi9 basis. Paris. Nov. 27. A rumor was current this evening in the lobbies of the Chamber of Deputies that Admiral Courbet with his forces had been defeated in Tonquin by the Black Flags and his communications cut off. The rumors were given more cre dence because no official information is forthcoming. There1 is considerable un easiness felt at the absence of news from Admiral Courbet's expedition. JjAter. JSxcited crowds thronged tne boulevards until a late hour to-night eager ly discussing the rumors of a French de feat in Tonauin. The reticence of the gov ernment was much commented upon Sev eral members of the committee on Tonquin Credits urged Prune Minister Ferry to abandon his reserve and inform the Cham ber of the position of affairs. In view of this state of things, the following semi-official Communique was sent to the papers: 'We are authorized to declare that up to the moment of going to press the govern ment has received no dispatch from Ton quin unfavorable to the French. Alarmist reports may. therefore, be regarded as false." , . .': . Unfounded Report Relative to the Appointment of a Nnnelo to Ameri ca The Vatican and the United States Failure of a Shlp-bulldlnc Flrm. ' ;.'": fBv Cable to the Morning Star. London, November 27. The Times cor respondent at Rome says the report that the American Bishops have proposed that' the Vatican send a Is uncio to America, is unfounded. I tie report probaoiy arose through a misapprehension of the fact that the Vatican thinks of sending Monsignor sepiacci to preside, as Apostolic Legate, over the labors of the Council to be held in America in 1884. The American Bishops are here to make arrangements for the Council. " Monsignor Sepiacci may remain in America to carry tne moors ot tne coun cil into effect, and afterwards to maintain .direct communication between the Vatican and the Church in America. The question of the reopened diplomatic relations between tne Vatican and Ame rica has not been mooted. Moreover re membrances of the circumstances which led to the recall from Rome, in 1867, of Gen. King, the American representative, will doubtless operate against any sugges tion of tue Kind being favorably viewed by the American uongress. Glasgow, November 27.

The sharp contest over the Speakership now .going on means very much more than the defeat or the success of either Mr. Randall or Mr. Carlisle.' It is the contest be tween the faction which has no faith m Democratic declarations and no confidence in the capacity of the ma jority of the party to conduct itself discreetly, i and the taction ' wnicn, without experience, is convinced that the Democratic party, by making eood . its professions, can commend itself to the country.

A Lady Robbed cf her Testa, j She was a beautiful young lady of about twenty, and lived in Philadel phia. : It was years ago, when phy sicians used to administer a liquid preparation of iron by means of quills or glass tubes, so that it could be swallowed without coming in con tact with the teeth. This young lady had been prostrated by a severe at tack of illness, and iron was given to her to restore her to something like her former condition of health. By some mismanagement, or possibly , by her own carelessness, she took " the doses of iron in such a way that they touched her teeth." She thought t her teeth, were hard enough, and did not realize the power of the chemi cals contained in that preparation of iron to eat through the enamel and honeycomb -the teeth. The conse- quence was that her teeth, which had been an exceptionally faultless set, were utterly ruined. First the enamel went.' Then .the substance of the teeth became like chalk, and soon nothing was left but a lot of unsightly snags. Had BrayorCs Iron Bitter? then been obtainable, this young lady might have saved her teeth. As it was, she had to submit to the pain and mortification of having them ex tracted "and - artificials inserted in their place. ' . Thie beauty of the iron contained in Brown's Iron Bitters is that it is a pure preparation, free from every in jurious feature or ingredient It can not do -harm, nor can it fail to do cood. ; This Drerjaration Of iron is , tie only one that can be taken with out damage to the teeth. ' To build up weak systems, to des troy dyspepsiatodrive putthe effects of malaria, to regulate troublesome livers, to alleviate kklney distresses, and to confer strength and health, Brown's Iron. Bitters is what the people want.' The druggist has it. sept 1 D&Wly srmE3 sepl New Xorlc Comparative Cotton State- r''--"":- ' ment. LBy Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, Nov. 23.
