CO. M. lam R. T. Wilson Co., of New York, sum up the cotton crop of 1503 at hales, just bales more than the crop of Mr. Daniel J. Sully, the leading New York boll, sums crop of 1903 at bales, and offers to bet that crop does not reach 10,000.000 bales. Up to Jan. 8th, 1904, there had been, according to New York exchange receipts from all j mill takings and all had been brought into sight, bales, against j to same date last year, bales more this year than j last. It is apparent to any person who can estimate any proposition, that with a rise in price, to- her with the most season for gathering the crop, that a. greater percentage of the crop has been marketed than when was lower a year ago by cents per pound. Then I ask, where will the cot- ton come from to make a crop of even bales I say it is not in the country and cannot be counted on. With no practically on hand at the close of the fiscal year, Sept, 1st, 1903, there is a greater demand for cot- ton than the differences of ft or even cents a pound.

That was a beautifully virtuous assemblage of the federation of master cotton that met in Manchester, England, on the 14th inst., to discuss and resolute on the baying and selling of cotton futures by members and non of federation.

The these master spinners would give for the raw cotton, these sweet scented, heroes of virtue were filling their pockets with the profit. It was nil right sand the sugar water the but Messrs. Brown Sully and other-, who were more informed of the real situation of demand and and supply, took the up and held it up lo the eyes of the farmers and caused cotton r., go Up to a price equal to the high master spinners hold up their hands in holy horror and say They are on to disgorge their plundering of the past, by a simple act of a normal price for the present raw material. But prefer to hold a high church Sunday meet and tell the scholars it has just b.-en discovered in this year Of grace, 1904, January 14th, in city of Manchester, that buy- selling cotton futures Is wrong, mighty wrong. mighty wrong. But boys could not swallow the dose at one sitting, so they all with one accord unanimously to take a week and think the matter over, and find out in the meantime, if they could do so much repenting in one week and square up their accounts with the and while wash their puritanical things they call con- sciences. What a pity their meet- was not called while Mr. W. J. Bryan was in Europe, that he might have been advised with on such a great reform movement. Doubtless he would have been more than glad to have offered some of his spare advice to this august assemblage offered a resolution that hereafter they would run a cam- against the great evil of buying and selling cotton futures. If such federations and agencies discountenance and not use methods as are promulgated by such men as Henry M. Neill, of New Orleans, who has become lo be the paid agent to publish unfounded statements of big crops, for the one purpose of depressing prices to an abnormal figure, in the interest of cotton spinners to he passed the 21st of January will he gay read for the lambs thee fellows fleeced for the past ten years When the real truth is known of amount of crop of year, then there is a very strong prospect of the staple getting to a speculative point in the market. These day reformers may resolute aid when they dance, he assured they will pay fiddler. The cotton farmers of the have begun to learn it is not unconstitutional for to sell for mote than cent- per pound, and when they have learned the port receipts have much to do with tie ruling prices of cotton they will find out something of the estimate of the crop before rushing their crops into market in October, November and and thereby glut the market and reduce the price below its merit. The real demands of the world for cotton is growing rapid- In more scarce than since the civil war for making it; and there will he no low price cotton in several years to cine. Cotton is king indeed. Isaac A Sugg. The Foolish Cow. Farmer Jenkins had a handsome cow, of which lie was very proud. She gave more milk than any other two in the country, and the old farmer declared he would not take a bucketful of money for her. Well, they had a big cow show, a Country fair, and Former Jenkins decided to take his cow there and win the prize. Now, what do you suppose that cow did Why, she simply made up her mind not to take the prize for fear she would be brought at once by somebody and taken away from her good home at Farmer So, when all the cows were brought out the fair and Farmer Jenkins wanted to show what a wonderful milk-producer he owned, his cow would not. yield a single drop of Hannah Sappers and Miners at Work.

The record was not unusual.- Less than one penny in a thousand finds its way back to the treasury to be exchanged for a newer coin. Dimes, quarters, halves and even nickels come back In large quantities, but the copper cents for the most part go astray. What becomes of them Treas- officials cannot tell. The most plausible theory is, that the pennies are simply lost.
