For weeks past Wall street and especi- ally cotton trading citcles have talked About the unexpected rise in the price of cotton and the reports that a big pool, under the lead of John H. Inman, was working to corner the market. Up to, this time not a word has been obtained from the big cotton speculator, but to-day in a letter to a committee of the Chamber of Commerce Mr. Inman says: “When President Cleveland sold bon¢ to the syndicate and stated that Would sell as many more as might necessary to keep the country on sound basis, we were assured that the finances of ‘the nation were settled for at least two years. AS a result, a party of men who © quick to see future results made up :heir m.rds to go heavily into cotton at d 1-2 cents in the New York market. “Without the action taken by the Gov- ernmen., there would, in my opinion, have existed to-day throughout the attains be 1 country, a coniition of than we have had at any time, ton, instead of selling at aby with prospects of a higher price before January, would be seling in the neigh- borhood of 5 cents, It is my strong con- viction that we are entering upon a long Period of prosperity, and that the silver craze will die just as the greenback heresy di SS ee Up, Not Down, to Date. (From the Rochester Post-Express.) A writer in a Boston paper happened the other day to use the phrase “up (o date" and that led him into an inter esting parenthetical remark. In Eng- land, he, tells us, one does not, say fate." bur “down to date," whic funny as it seems, he thinks quite logi- cal since we come “down the ages and centuries.” But do we? That is the very question, Aren't the numbers get- ting nigher wi the tIme, and if they are etting higher must we not be going up? Wermoud vay that It was quite a climb from Anno Domini 13 up to Anno Domini 600, and from that up to 14%, From our resent pinnacle we can look down upon Ritie 13 and survey all the years between ‘and note the things that happened in them, as It seems as though we never could do if we had to look up at the cycles. And it seems to us that it indl- tes a. much finer mental twist to speak of tolling up the years than to be ever sliding down them.
