Baltimore, Sept. 3.?Col. A1
^s.fred B. Shepperson, the wel
^ known New York cotton statisti
ciau, who haw spent severs
weeks in Europe, visiting iinpor
tant <*onters ot the cotton trad*
in Germany, France and Bel
^4- gium writes as follows:
"The cotton manufacturers o
the countries named above havdone
a tairlv active business dur
ing the past season, but, takinj
them as a whole, have made ver
little money. Considerably mor
cotton nas Deen spun into yarn
than the previous season, bu
ofteu at a verv small profit, am
sometimes at a loss. The spin
uers who bought freely during
'
October, November ar.d Decern
ber, when prices were or. tin
basis of H to 4^ pence for mid
dling uplands, have had a re
remunerative season, while thos<
who bought at prices ranging
from 5^ pence to nearly 7 pence
have made no profits, and those
who sold their product ahead or
the basis of lower-priced cot tor
(as many did), have scored seri
ons losses. As a result of tin
high price of cotton many of tin
continental mills have no work
ed on lull time since early ii
June, but 'short time' has no
prevailed to anything like tin
same extent a* in England, mos
of the mills having run live t<
five and one hall days in tin
week, against lour days in man;
of the British mills. Germai
spinners are in far better shapi
than a year ago, as the largi
Blocks ol yarns and goods thei
existing have been disposed ol
and the depression resulting Iron
41
6uch a condition has been re
moved. While their stocks c
cotton are quite moderate,
think^ .ey are larger than at thi
time Iqsl \ear. Many of tli
French stunners honndi! nnttui
freely fti, (he early part of th
season, and have done well
Those who bought sparingly i
the hope of still lower price
have paid the penalty for thei
conservatism. Some of th
French spinners have cotton sul
ficient for their requirements t
the middle of October, whil
others have practically no stock
and are buying, as it. were, Iror
'hand to mouth.' My impressio:
is that the slock of cotton hel
ERjHjr *
by the French spinners is le^
than a year ago. In Belgiut
much the same conditions exit,
as in France, but I think tli
spinners hold about as much col
ton as at this time last year. Th
Freucu spinners have, on th
average, done heller than liioh
rf Germany and Belgium. Th
spindle capacity of the thro
countries differs l>ut little frci
last year. In Italy there ha
been an increase ot about 1
000 spindles, but there will be
corresponding increase in th
consumption of cotton. It ha
boen (!.. custom in Italy for th
mills to be regularly operated a
night, there being operatives fn
the night work in addition t
those for the day time. A ne\
law will ?oon go into effect pre
hibit >'iig the ni^nt WoiK, ana iiii
has caused the erection of add)
tional spindles to enable th
mills f y 'I A 11 r% ro*v?n o rn on p < p
work in the days which was for
- merly done during the day and
night. This explanation i3 made
because an increase of spindles
usually indicates larger business
- and greater prosperity. In point
1 of fact, the Italian spinners have
- been doing only a very moderate
1 business.
"In consequence of the high
9 prices which have been ruling
- in the United Staten considerable
cotton has been shipped from
f 'Europe to New York and New
e Orleans since July 1st. Shipment8
have been made from
K Liverpool, Havre, Bremen, Triesv
to, and perhaps from other ports.
e About 5,000 bales are now ou
t
s the way from Bremen, in pret
vious years some cotton has been
1 sent from Europe to the United (
- States, but never to anything
? like the exteut of the shipments
of this year. These shipments
? emphasize the artificiality of the
- prices which have been ruling in
the United States for several
5 months as a result of speculative
I manipulation in New Orleans
, and New York. The price ol
> American cotton for many weeks
1 has borne no relation to the
price of cotton yiuns and goods,
in this connection i will ineni
tion that European spinners have
* used a great, deal ol Indian cot
ton in place of American cotton,
i and in some instances at a saving
t ol I(i 11 v a cent a pound for sitnilar
grades ol cotton.
1 ' Tin? high prices tor American
cotton wiil stimulate tiie produc
- tion ot cotton in every part ol

i advantage, and will surely in
P duce more careful cultivation and
preparation for the Indian crop.

GORDON'S TRIBUTE TO JACKSON.
m &
In Gen. John B. Gordon's account
of the battle of SharpSburg
in the June number of
Scribner's Magazine is the followintr
tribute to Lieutenant-Genoral
Thomas Jonathan ("Stonewall"
) Jackson :
Hut to return to the consideration
of Gen. Jackson's character.
Every right-uiinded citizen, as
well as overy knightly soldier,
whatever the color of his uniform,
will appreciate the beauty
of the tribute paid by Gen. Lee
to Gen. Jackson, when he received
the latter's message announcing
the loss of his left arm.
LlGo tell Gen. Jackson," said Lee,
"thit his loss is small compared
to mine; for while he loses his
left arm, 1 lose the right arm of
my army." No prouder or juster
tribute was ever paid by a great
commander to a soldier under
him.
But more important than anything
1 have yet. said of Jackson
may be compassed, 1 think, in
the observation that I10 added to
a marvelous genius for war a
character as a man and christian
which was absolutely without
blemish. His child-like trust
and faith, the simplicity, the sincerity,
and constancy of his unostentatious
pietv did not come
with the war, nor was it changed
by the trials and dangers ot war.
It the war alFected him at all in
ihis particular, it only intensified
his religious devotion, because of
the tremendous responsibilities
which it imposed ; but long be
tore, his religious thought and
word and example were leading
to the higher life young men en
trusted to his care, at the Vir
ginia Military Insfifute. In the
arniy nothing deterred or diverted
him from the discharge of his
religious duties, nor deprived him
of the solace resulting from his
unaffected trust. A Jeep-iooted
belief in God, iu His .Word and
Ills providence was under him
and over him and through him,
permeating every lihro ol his be
ing,dominating his every thought,
controlling his every action.
Wherever he went and whatever
lie diil, whether lie wan dispensing
light and joy in the family
circle; imparting lessons of lofty I
thought to ins pupils in the
school room at Lexington; planning
masterful strategy in his
tent ; praying in the woods lor
Heaven's guidance ; or riding
like the incarnate spirit of war
through the storm oi battle, as
his resistless legions swept, the
field ol carnage with the fury ot
a tornado?Stonewall Jackson
was the faithful disci pie of his
i)ivine Msister. It? di? 1 i.<>
had lived, with hit* overactive
and I hen levered brain working
out the problems to which hit,
duty erdled him, and, even with
the chill of death upon him, his

That his own spirit will eternally

of Life, none who knew him can

"THE PKOKLKM OF THE i
KALES."
Address by John Temple Graves,j
The Well Known Georgian.
Chicago, Sept. 3.?John Tem-I '
pie Graves, of Atlanta, delivered |
an address on ,kThe Problem j
of the Races" this morning be >
fore the 48th convention of the j J
University of Chicago. lie said
in part:
"Partition of the races is the
way, the only way. If God hath
made of one blood the nations of
the earth lie hath also established
unto them the inetes and
bounds of their habitation. He
did not intend that antagonistic
races should live together. The
prejudice of race is a pointing of
Providence and tho antagonism
of peoples is the fixed policy by
which God peoples the different
portions of the universe and es- ,
tablishes tAe individuality of the ;
nations. The act that brought ?
these people together on this con
tinent was a sin of the fathers, a
sin of greed, an iniquity of trade
?and the sorrow and suffering 1
of the present is for the sin of
the past, a sin against nature and
a sin against God. The curse
can be lifted only when nature is
vindicated and God is obeyed.
The problem will be solved only i
when the negro is rctorod to
'the bounds of his partition.'
"Neither impossible nor impracticable.
The elements are|
willilii' arid 1 Iim wnv ij in rum'li I
This is not a day of impossibili
ties, lhe hand ot the Almighty
is steaJily opening tho way.
"It may be that the islands ot
the sea were placed by l'rovi-;
deuce in our keeping to iuriushj
an anbwer to the problem of the ]
time.
"Tho South is neither cruel
nor unpatriotic and the North
knows it. The North is neither)
immovable nor vindictive, ami i
I 1
the South knows it. it either ot
us is mistaken, and it botn of us
are misunderstood, we are yet
one people, and we must meet
upon 1 he plain of our brother-1
hood, and our destiny of our
mighty race. This is our country.
We made it. We moulded it.
Wo control it, and we always
will. We have done great things.
We have mighty things to do.
The negro is an accident, and tin
willing, a blameless, but an unwholesome,
unwelcome, helpless,!
unassimilable element in our
civilization. Ho is not made for
our times. He is not framed to I
share in the duty and tho destiny |
which he perplexes and becloud*.
Let us put him kindly and
humanely out <>t the way. Lei
us give him a better chance than
he has ever had in history, and
let us have done with him. Let
us solve his problem?fearlessly,
nobly and speedily. Let. us put
it behind us. Let us purity our
politics of the perplexity. Lot
