THE COTTON TRADE.
ENGLISH FLEWS OF THE PROSPECTS
OF THE MARKET.
The Effect Produced in .Handiester by
tlie Great Gledstane's Failure.
[From Sm!ttl, Edwards A Co.'s Monthly Cotton
Circular, dated Liverpool, August 31, 1872.]
The Manchester market during the past
month has been dull and disappointing; prices
bave had a continuously drooping tendency,
and the fall In values, so far from invigorating
' the demand, apparently enfeebled it. The
weakness that Manchester has recently dis?
played has taken people by surprise, it is such
a striking contrast to tbe boldness and confi?
dence ID the early part of the year, and tbe
conclusion ls forced upon us that aa artificial
excitement was kept up there for a long
time, and an unhealthy business done, of
which we are now reaping the bitter fruits.
Severeiosses are falling upon-shippers vfgoods
to foreign markets, especially India and China;
Che Dews lately from these great markets bas
been in the last degree discouraging; prices
have fallen fully as fast as at home, aud even
at tbe low rates DOW ruling io Manchester,
nothing but loss appears ID all the Eastern
markets. Tbe failure ol Messrs. Gledstanes
bas bad a pernicious effect lo Manchester, Ibo
liabilities falllog there are about hail a mil?
lion, secured, lt is believed, by a lien upou
the goods, and the loss can easily be borne,
but u reveals a bad state of trade in the East.
which must shake confidence, and tend
fuitber to restrict operations for that quarter
for a long time to come.
Greater weakness has latterly been shown
ID the department of yara thaa of cloth.
Prices of the tor mer have fall ea on the aver
age quite 2d per pound from the best point of |
the year In the current numbers, and the posi?
tion ot the Bplnner ia worse DOW than it has (
been at any time this year, but cloth has fal- c
len on the average decidedly less, and so the t
position ot the manufacturer bas improved, t
we should say now that the spinner ls losing f
iully as much as the weaver, and there are (
lew branches ot tbe trade left in which there t
ls any profit. Even fine splDDing has BUB- B
talned a serious reverse; the demand has r
greatly abated; prices have failea heavily, and f
Stocks ol yarn are accumulating. It appears v
now that too many spinners have goae OD Hue c
spinning during its profitable time, ann the
trade shows symptoms of belog overdone. e
The continued small deliveries from this i
port to the trade have attracted much atten- .1
Don. For the last twelve weeks the average c
amount is only 51,000 bales,.and the tact has ?
been generally admitted that the consumption c
waa at one time largely over estimated, i
Further inquiries have satisfied us that the i
proper explanation ot this ls to be found not i
in the stoppage of spindles, but lu the general i
resort to higher counts ot yarn-a process i
which has taken place this year to an extraor- t
dinary extent, and has economized consump?
tion far more than was suspected in the first t
?ix months of the year. We DOW incline to (
the opinion that the consumption this year i
has not, on the average, much exceeded 60,- t
OOO bales per week for tbe kingdom, and for t
eome time bas been hardly so much as that.
It now seems to na probable that the weight
of cotton used has been reduced thia year' 10
Sar cent. In consequence ol the chao ge io
igher numbers, aaa some who have minutely
Investigated the matter pnt lt even higher.
From this time lorward the tendency will
probably be In the other direction, aa fine
spinning has become unprofitable, and coarse
counts will pay better with every decline in <
cotton; but lt will be a considerable lime be- t
fore the consumption gets expanded again, t
nod the large absorption ol 1871 can only be t
repeated at low prices. r
la dealing with the prospects of our market, j.
tbe great question that overshadows all oltiers ii
Is the position and prospects of the American h
crop. We should say, speaking generally, that a
hs progress from June until quite recently
was highly satlslactory, and the letters reach?
ing ns now are hopeful of a very large yield,
but In the last few days many telegrams have
come lo hand containing decidedly less favor- a
able accounts, and these are Irom sources '
whose character is beyond suspicion. The 1
complaints are chiefly ol worms in Alabama, v
nod of drought In Texas. It appears that the
heavy floods that occurred lo Alabama la July
produced a crop ef caterpillars, the third
brood of which (the most destructive one) is
now at work, and lt ls believed that the yield
In that important district will be much eui tail?
ed. From Texas the accouuts were at one r
time remarkably good, but lt appears that o
severe drought has withered the plant on the ii
uplands, and we learn that in many localities r
only half as much la expected as was the case tl
a short time ago. From ibe Allant lc States >
generally the accounts are still good, and we \,
should say that tbe crop on the whole is some- v
what earlier than of late years, aa ls proved o
by the pretty free receipts ol new cotton r
now coming In. We are very much puz- c
zled to pronounce a decided opinion about the T
state ol the crop, it varies so much in dil- o
tarent places. We should think over most ol
the country lt ls dolDg well, but there are im?
portant districts where it ls doing poorly. It
promises to be what they call in America '-a n
spotted crop." Oae leaiure deserves lo be no* 11
ticed : there are too well marked divisions of e<
the crop, the first and larger one germinated 01
in April, and ls now well matured, but a por- a<
tion, roughly estimated at one-third, did not ai
get above ground lill the end of May, aud is, 11
of course, late In maturing, and will be more lr
. exposed to damage. Estimates of the crop at w
this period are not of much value, but some
reference to them cannot be avoided, lt only
to exhibit the drift of public opinion. A short cl
time ago many estimates came irom America tj<
of three and three-quarters lo four millions, c'
and that figure was gen? tai ly adopted ID this CI
eouDtry as a fair guess; but most estim?tes in 11
Am?rica are DOW being lowered to turee and c;
a half millions, though some still lean io three B
and three-quarter millions, provided there ls l>
a good fall. We find, on all sides, a decided "
o. tendency to withdraw irom lour millions as a j"
** probable figure for crop, and this is indicated *
by the hardening prices of future deliveries y
in New York, and a disposition io purchase 1
there on Southern account. Looking merely ?
lo the question of supply, we should say thar. Q
on this side the Atlantic we have given full 81
weight to the favorable accounts of crop, and D
that we have not realized ihe uncertaioty that a
still attaches to the question; and should a P
lower estimate take possession of the public
mind, lt could not lail to produce some effect.
On the other hand, the state of trade In
Manchester ls very disappointing. All the
life has gone out of thai marker, and it would
seem to be very difficult to rekindle the fire.
From loreign markets severe losses are com?
ing home, and merchants are possessed by a
listless ieellog and are very Indisposed lo
fresh ventures. Judging from what meets the
eye Tn Manchester, any important recovery
seems quite unlikely at present, but lt Is hard <v
to say how lar the existlag depression is the
result of over-discounting the prospects of u
next crop. No doubt the prevailing m ina- a
tion ls to expect a huge crop and much lo,.-er p
{irlces for cotton next year, and when such a J;
ealing prevails lt ls astonishing how business n
dries up. Should a change ot leeling occur in si
respect, to crop prospects, we might be sur- F
prised at the sudden revival of demand. The M
extension Of the telegraphic system makes all ,
the world act and think simultaneously, and ~
the key to the whole position is the opinion ?j
prevailing about the American crop. The ex?
pectation of a very large one has been diffused
all over the world, and while that view re- tN
mains we need not expect either home or a]
foreign markets lo s ho tv any vitality; but li Ti
unfavorable views about the crop got Into the ^
ascendant tbe wheels ot business would re- D?
volve much quicker, and the large Blocks of ~
cotton held in Europe would run down last. Ul

[From the New York Bulletin, September 13 ] | ol
We have more than once expressed a sus?
picion that events would prove that the Eng?
lish cotton market has been, for some time, I fe
arilflclally supported by over-tradiDg in the J Tt
j&port of goods to the East, and especially to
India. For the last two years, the shipments tr|
in that direction have been enormous. For ls
the first seven months or the last four years Ti?

India have been as iollows:
Seven months ending July 31. Yards.

'871.524,400,000
187.?.423,900,000
1869 .359,800,000
Tbe first large increase occurred In 1871, as
the result ol the abundant American crop
and tbe low price o? raw material, the exports
for the seven monibs then being 126.100,000
yards (or 32 per cent) In excess ol' ihe aver?
age tor the same period ot' the preceding
years. Heavy losses were then incurred upon
goodB previously sent out at hlgh*-r prices;
and it was found that, notwithstanding the
lower values ol last year, tbe markets could
not absorb the large supplies, and goods were
frequently lower in India than lu England.
It was to have been expected that, under
such an unfavorable condition ol the market,
importations would have been severely reduc?
ed and prices subjected to the stimulus of a re?
duced supply. This course, however, was not
adopted. The short American crop of last year
strengthened prices, and Manchester kept up
Its shipments to India upon a large scale until
the close ol' the year. AB it had been
proved that such a ratio of supply could nut
be absorbed at the reduced prices which pre?
vailed during the first half ol the year, lt was
ol course out of lite question to suppose that
such BtocKs could be marketed at the advance
necessitated by last year's small supply of col?
ton. But, Instead of this reasonable conclu?
sion causing a curtailment ol shipments thia
year, we find that, lor the past seven months,
the exporis of brown and bleached cottons to
India have exceeded those of the same months
of 1871 by 48,200.000 yards, or nearly 10 per
cent. From such a course of thlnes, only
disaster could be expected. Merchants In the
India trade could but lose very heavily, and it
s not impossible that their very losses have
Helped to swell the supply of goods; for, with
t certain speculative class of merchants, lt ls
)y no means an uncommon thing to cover up
.heir losses by the proceeds of iresh conslgn
nents-an expedient too easily adopted where
he business ls conducted wholly on credit.
* By reference to the well-known Liverpool
drcular ol Smith, Edwards & Co., in another
tolumn, lt will be seen how this reckless ;
jolley is working ont Us necessary results ot
niscblef. The failure of one of the oldest
Irma In the India trade, Mee-rs. Gledstanes ?
lo., ls attributed lo this cause; and a condl
ion of things which has ruined a house of I
uch standing must have seriously Injured [
nany others. Now, the significance of these
acts Iles here. England's trade in cotton goods
vith India amounts to nearly torty-nve per
?eur. of her whole export of that class of man?
ifacturas; and If prices at home have been
mstalned by a fictitious demand In such an
mportant market, a serious effect must be
elt when the unsound state of things In India
tomes to be remedied. The testimony of |
Jmltn, Edwards & Co. as to the effects in Mau
mester ot'the Gledstanes failure sufficiently
UustrateB the way In which the recovery of a
latural condition ot things in the India trade
nust operate. It ls the Interference of an un
latural demand which prevents the lact that
)roductlon has at length overtaken couBump
ion, from bringing the oottoo trade to a nor
nal condition; ana we cannot but think that
hose interested in this great department of
commerce would do well to keep this fact In
rlew, rather than allow themselves to be per?
vaded that cotton is forever to remain far |
ibo ve the ante-war standard of prices.

Two political events of great significance
have occurred. Governor Curtin bas definitely
decided to support the Liberal movement, and
Charles Sumner has been nominated as the
Democratic-Liberal candidate for Governor ol
Massachusetts. Tbe first gives us Pennsylva?
nia in October and November; the latter gives
a renewed impetus to the Greeley movement,
which bas been Hugging a Utile since the Maine
e'eciioo. Probably we could have carried
Pennsylvania wlihout and io opposition to
Curtin's influence; but there Is no mau who
has so strong a hold on the affections of the
Pennsylvania Republicans, and there will be a
great maoy ot them persuaded by his course.
The apparent certainly of securing the electo?
ral vote of the Keystone State brightens the
Liberal prospects greatly, lt must be con?
fessed that our friends have been io the dumps
lor the past three weeks. There was a panic
among the betting men on tbe Greeley side.

Greeley's election, putting up one thousand
dollarB forfeit, only ibis week ordered the for?

CHESJfUT ON TBE CBISIS.
The Ei- Sena lot's Letter to the New Torte
Liberal Af aaa Meeting.
Among the letters read at the great Liberal
mass meeting In New York on Thursday eve?
ning wa3 the following from the Hon. James
Che8nut, of South Carolina:
GENTLEMEN-I have received yonr invitation
to attend and address a grand mass-meeting
to be held in New York, September 12, of ail
parlies who favor the. election ot Horace Gree?
ley as President, and of Gratz Brown as vice
President of the United suites, and sincerely
thank you for the honor implied. I am hear?
tily In favor ol the election ot those gentlemen
to the offices for which they have been res?
pectively nominated, and regret that ihe con?
dition of my private affdrs absolutely forbids
me from belog with you and from personally
participating lu the pleasures of the occasion
to which your Invitation refers. The question
of slavery, as heretofore presented to ihe
United States, being now and forever elimina?
ted from our political IssueB, there ls left
henceiorlh no rational gronnd for division,
merely sectional. The two great questions we
have now to deal with are simple and funda?
mental. The first la: Shall the government
be Federal, with co-ordinate departments,
with defined and unlimited powers, and
all reatralned by the constitution; or, shall
lt continue as it has been for the last four
years, a consolidated despotism, with the
form only, without the reality of the three
Independent co-ordinate departments, and
without limitation or constraint of constitu?
tion aud laws ? If the people, in the present
contesf, shall decide In iavor ol' the first propo?
sition, then I believe we shall have in ihe
future a government of economy, of compara?
tive purify, of ability, of prosperity, and ol
respect at home and abroad; In short, of well
ordered civil lib-rty and national honor effect?
ively maintained. If the latter be the choice
of the people, then tho whole country must
continue lo subjection to a government of
caprice, corruption, extravagance and oppres?
sion, resulting In discontent and contusion at 1
home, and manifesting Imbecility and reaping 1
i harvest of contempt abroad. In short, a
tyranny and shabby empire, to end speedily In '
.he agonizing throes of dissolution, for no 1
ampire can last long over this vost conlloent,
peopled with the Anglo-Saxon race. Besides,
.lie present contest decides, for a lime at least, 1
he all-important question of local sell-govern?
ment, without which freedom cannot be 1
lecurely enjoyed anywhere. Involved In all 1
.hese is the precious idea of peace, now so '
isaeotlal to the welfare of the whole country. '
Our fellow-citizens or the North have ex- 1
Derlenced comparatively little of the horrors of 1
var. and have felt nothing ol the ten-fold '
rreater horrors of peace lo which the South 1
las been subjected. The Administration for !
fears has mocked the country with the^hrase, 1
?Let us have peace," a peace though not 1
?eavenly, yet verily one "which paaaeth ail J
inderstandlng." As Mr. Greeley ls now the '
-epresentative man of all contained in Ihe '
Irst proposition, and opposed to all lo the (
lecond, I will support him to the utmost of my !
sapaclty, feeling all the while a cheering and *
atlonal hope ol his success.

dock market report, says : I
The Southern Stales bonds were duller, li 1

ioned by forced purchases to replace what i
Te known as land commtanion bouda, which,

laulers were Jubilant and sanguine of the .
nure, but their faces now wear a sad change,

ot one-third short of expectation. 1

Up to two weeks ago, the prospect for a
irge yield of cotton iii this county was never
lore encouraging. The tleldB had been well
lied, and large quantities of fertilisers ap.
lied. Our piaulera were never more hopeiui
nd prospects were never more bright. But,
las, th? brightest anticipations are doomed
j disappointment. An unusually dry spring,
mich gave the plant a back set, and too much

reeks drought, ut present upon us. willi rust

>ast one-third ot what waa calculated u lew
reeks ago. Doubtless, a few lavored spots
rill jieid an average crop, but upon the

ne-quarter. We may safely put down the

Cl linux of Modern Deviltry-The Fehiale
Fiend Murders Six Persons, Among
them Her Husband and Two Chil?
dren-Latest Particulars.
[Correspondence of tbe Chicago Inter Ocean,]
ST. PAUL. MINN., September 7.
One of tbe most sickening cases of crime
and horror that the modern Journalist baa
ever had occasion lo r ec ord bas J UBI been de?
veloped in the neighboring State o? Wiscon?
sin, a case sufficient lc all Us horrible details
to almost cause the human mind to believe
that Satan takes mortal form in which to
work out his aupe ?Luman Iniquities. A
short time since a telegram to the Icter
Ocean announced trat a Mrs. Charlotte
Lamb, ol Trimbellle, Wisconsin, bad been ar?
rested on suspicion of murdering her husband,
and now a further development of facts brings
lo light the morai certainty that this fiend in
female form ls not only gullly of ibat act, but
that che also killed her two children and two
neighbors, and possibly two others. This sick?
ening record of nos?isle and certain crime
dates as far back as tie yeur 1854, at which
time a former wife ol Mr. Lamb died, and
within a year afterward a young lady to whom
be was paying attention, both lu a sudden and
mysterious manner. The present Mrs. Lamb
was at that time an inmate of his family, and
these later developments have, aroused ihe
suspicion that these unfortunate persons also
were victims to ber malignancy. The record
the last two years ls as follows : Mr. and
Mrs. Lamb have been living on a farm
at Trimbellle since 1866. In a neigh?
borhood of devoted Methodists, of which
society Mrs. Lamb wai apparently u ialihiul
and efficient member, and lt ls owing
Lo this fact that suspicion, which might other?
wise have been open y expressed against her,
has been allayed. For eighteen months pre?
vious to September, 1871, the husband and
wife had been living la a more or less openly
leclared state ol feud, owing to the refusal of
the husband to deed ibe property over to her,
te declaring thal she should have her third
?nd the children the rest In case of his demise.
3n the 18th of September, 1871, Mr. Lamb WAS
akeu with a singular naiad y while at work lu
i corn field and died In great agony In a few
moments. The death was ascribed to heart
ilsease. Again ' Mrs. Lamb made uosuc
sesBftil attempts to get control of the
entire farm, saying Hat she expected that
;he children would tum her out oi doors when
ibe got old. Last May, the son, Orrin, a lad'of
thirteen years, In gool health, was suddenly
;aken sick and died in half an hour after
iailng a piece ot bread and butter which he
leclared "tasted biller " This death was also
utributed to heart disease. On the 24th of
Tune ibe daughter, Sarah, was taken with
lanv?lslons, and died within an hour. Early
-his spring Mrs. Lamb became a frequent vis
tor at ihe residence ol a near neighbor, Mr.
Tames Oilman. She wits not welcomed with a
;reat deal of cordiality, but continued her
riaits, and was Olren h -ard to declare a great
idmlratlcn for Mr. Oilman. One day after
Mrs. Ottman had returned from a call at Mrs.
Lamb's, whero she said that she had taken a
;lass of billers, she WU3 Uiken violently lil. A
physician was summoned, and so successfully
rested the malady that the lady rapidly im?
proved. The next day Mrs. Lamb called, and
vas very attentive to the Invalid. She prepared
t slice ol'toast for ber, and administered some
jf the medicine lett by the physician. Mrs.
Hitman was Instantly taken with agonizing
pains, and died lu fiftaen minutes. Shortly
ifter thia Mrs. Lamb was employed In ihe
family of Ho val Gariand, a man living In Dia?
mond Bluff Township. On the 16th ot August
Mrs. Lamo turned Garland a cup of tea at
linner. He was Inmediately taken with
?real pains, and died irvawfui agony within
in hour. The almost unaccountable blindness
ir tue pabilo now fell off as by a shock, and
)n the 28th ot the month she was arrested for
wising Ute death of Garland. The scales
mee from ihe public eje, the horrible chain of I.
ieaths caused bv this wholesale murderess ?
?as discovered, ?nd Immediate Investigations 1 "
were commenced. Both strychnine and arse?
nic were found on her ? remises. The stomaoa
it Garland was exhumed and examined, as
?vere also those of M re. Ottman and the two
mlldren. and strychnine was found In each of
.hem. The trial ot ible Inhuman monster will
:ome off at Ellsworth In November next.

GUYOTS TAR
CONCENTRATED PROOF LIQUEUR
Mr Guyot has succeeded in depriving tar
of its insupportable sourness and bitterness,
and in rendering it very soluble. Profiting
by this happy discovery, he prepares a con?
centrated liqueur of tar, which in a small
volume contains a large proportion of the
active principle.
Guyot s tar possesses all the advantages of
ordinary tar-water without any of its draw?
backs A glass of excellent tar-water without
any disagreeable taste may be instantaneously
obtained by pouring a teaspoonful into a
glass of water.
Any one can thus prepare his glass of tar
water at thc moment he requires it, thus
economizing time, facilitating carriage and
obviating the disagreeable necessity ol'hand?
ling tar.
Guyot's tar replaces advantageously se?
veral more or less inactive ptisans in the
treatment of colds, bronchitis, coughs, and
catarrhs.
Guyot's tar is employed with the greatest
success in tim following diseases :
AS A DRAUGHT. - A teaspon/al in a glass
of waler, ur (wo tablespoonfuls in a bottle.
BRONCHITIS
CATARRH OF THE BLADDER
COLDS
OBSTINATE COUGHS
IRRITATION OF THE CHEST
PULMONARY CONSUMPTION
WHOOPING COUGH
DISEASES OF THE THROAT
AS A LOTION. - Pure or diluted with a
lillie water.
AFFECTIONS OF THE SKIN
ITCH1NGS
DISEASES OF THE SCALP
Guyot's tar has been tried' with the
greatest success in the principal hospitals of
Trance, Belgium, and Spain. Experience has
proved il to be the most hygienie drink in
time o? epidemics.
