It says for the week ending Friday evening the total receipts have reached" 30,006 bales, against 33,082 bales iast week and 38,501 bales tho previous week, making the total leccipts since tho 1st of September, 1800, 0,783,013 bales, against 5,757,028 bales for the same period of 1889-90, showing an increase since September 1, 1890, of 1,026,885 bal. s. The export for the week reach a total of 46,405 bales, of which 33,323 were to Great Britain, 090 to Franco aud 12,009 to the rest of the contiuent. The speculation iu cotton for futuie. delivery at New York has been fairly active for the week under review, with prices making rather wide variations.

Gn Wednesday the next crop advauccd a few points on reports of au adverse crop account from the slnte hiirenn of lloorirhi which said the condition was only 75 and the acreage decreased 15 per cent. This influence and its effect upon the Liverpool market caused on Tuesday general buoyauey, which was maintained throughout the day, the latest figures be ing among the highest paid Many who had been "short" for mouths covered their contracts. But the demand was pretty well met by the room traders, who bought on Wednesday and were sellers to realize profits. The receipts at interior towns fell off materially, and this fact was an element of strength. Friday there was an early decline in sympathy with a reduction in value at Liverpool, where excessive supplies and dull trade in Manchester are apparently dominating influences; but after the last call there was a buoyant mnrket, in which tho early decline was quickly recovered, owing to reports of a severe drought in the southwest. Cotton on the spot de' clined 1-ltlc. on Monday and again od Wednesday. At the lower prices a com paratively large business was done op Thursday for home consumption. Friday the market was firm, but quiet, nt 8}c for middling uplands. Tuc total sales for forward delivery fo? the week are 309,000 bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot .up 2,043 hales, including 175 for export, 1,808 for consumption. The figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight of 805,780 bales as compared with the same date of 1890, an increase of 815.318 hales as comnared with the corresponding date of 1881), nnd an increase of 892,081 hales as compared with 1888. Reports by telegraph indicate that the temperature hns in general been favorable for cotton. The outlook in Texas is quite promising. ' ? ? - -M (The G. X. ft W. Get# a Xscsivsr. A Charleston, 8.

All day the Kits was surrounded by a crowd of people, who curiously looked n i at her crew as the* hurried on board boxev i- and hales of merchandise to l>e used in the s I Arctic voyage. Then there were raanv neo v pic 1111 ne crowd who came down to the vessel to say goodby to friends, and as a result 110 great European stoainer ever had a more enthusiastic departure than did the little t Kite as she bore away the members of the I North Greenland exploring exoeditlon of c ,s:!.V"' ! ne party of scientists, of which Professor Angelo Heilprin is in command, were ow board the ship early in the morning. Thor were assigned to bunks aft, and soon bad 0 their goods stored away. They comprise Professors Keniamin Sharp and J. P Hall. ^Kil^ists; Dr. W. r- Tttiii nr. uooert N.

Matthew Henson and Lieutenc ant Peary's colored valet, i. A party of twenty ladles came to the pier e to wave farewell to Mrs. Peary and to compliment her on her bravery in going on an Arctic expedition. Mrs. Peary enjoys the J distinct ion of being the first lady represent*, tive of civilization to brave the ice and snow 1 of Greenland. ' Veil will not see many roses in the frozen ; North, ' said a lady to the brave Mrs. Peary 1 as she handed her a magnificent basket of > J roses, "so we thought we would give you a ; pin ting floral tribute."

Nf.w York City. [Special. ]?Bishop n Turner, a colored prelate of the Afric*.u 0 Methodist Episcopal denomination, made some* curious statements about colored e people in his sermon of last Sunday iu luookhii. He spoke of a desire of colored men to become white, and expressed his disapproval of such a desire on their pad. He told of a colored lady who s assured bint that she would gladly bo skinned if skinning would leave her II white, and he alleged that she fell in his esteem after making this remark. He 6 said that a great.many colored people be \ieved that they would turn white on go. ing to heaven, but be informed them that they would not thus lose 1 heir identity in the resuriection. m The New York Sun commenting on the ie i sermon says: We n.e disposed to say th.lt I we are inclined to express our approval I of llishop Turner's remarks on this intercsting subject. The colored men who desire to become white arc unworthy of their complexion; the colored lady who is ready to be skinned for the sake of liecoming white doserveu to fall in his esteem, and as for t lie colored people who . hope to be white in heaven we need only say that they were properly warned against indulgence in such a hope. 1 f ?? d Serious Result of Joke. a ;i, Birmingham, Ala..
