THE GOLDfil- ORO MESSENGER. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1886. ! 7 KING COTTON. Latham, Alexander & Co.'s 4, Letter. On the Situation of Cotton, Past, Present and Future. New York, September 28. The cotton crop of the United States for the year that ended on 31st of Au gust was 6,475,G91 bales, a gain of 8G9,526 over the crop of last year, but a decrease of almost half a million bales as compared with the perfect crop of 18S2-,83. a During the business year just closed cotton has fluctuated within the nar row limits. While there has been a very good demand from manufacture ers, as is shown by the large takings of. our spinners, there has been an absence of the speculative activ ity that is the main cause of fluctua tions. Middling uplands sold during the greater part of September at 10 cents, gradually declined to 9J by December and remained at about that figure until the latter part ot February, a short decline then occurred. Ever since the opening of the season ac counts from Liverpool and Manchester had been unfavorable; fear of war in Eastern Europe had hung over the market during the entire period; large cror estimates had prevailed, and a free movement of the crop had given color to them. To these unfavorable influences a rather extended stoppage of the New England mills, on account of strikes and floods, were added in the latter part of February, the whole, re sulting in a decline that carried prices to the lowest point reached during the cotton vear ; middling went to S 13-10, and the August contracts which bad opened at 10.00 were down to 9.02. November contracts touched 8.73. The bureau report, which had been published on the loth of February, and in which the crop was estimated at G,500,000 bales had had no imme diate effect in checking the decline ; but in the first week of March a dis position to accept this reduced esti mate ; a lighter movement and very cold weather in the South led to pur chases to cover; many parties also changed sides on the market, prices quickly rose to 9.73 for August con tracts and to 9 3-10 for middling. During the remainder of the cotton year the market varied only moder ately, middling never selling far from 91 cents; in July it ran up to 9 9-10 and at those of August, the end of the year, it was again 9 3 10. August contracts varied between 9.75, the , figure quoted above, and 9.03 at the close of the month. During most of the period between February and the end of August ac counts from Liverpool and Manches ter was unfavorable. Added to this was effect of beligerent movements in Eastern Europe, considerable politi cal excitement in England, a decline in silver to the lowest figure ever known for it, and some annoying though exaggerated labor troubles on railroads and in manufactories in this country. With regard to the new crop, it is by no means sure that there has been any increase in the acreage devoted to cotton this year as compared with last. Whatever slight increase for the whole cotton belt there, may have been at the start has probably been lost by the abandonment of considerable land in the older cotton States in places where too much rain naa given grass and weeds the upper hand. Planting was in general seasonably accom plished, but siuce then crop accounts have not been entirely satisfactory except for a brief period ; during most of the season they have at best been only fairly good, while at times excessive rains have prevailed in some sections and drought in others. The weather has not been so favorable this vear as last, although the latter was only an average year growing. It now seems probable for cotton that even with a late fall the smaller than that new crop will be of last year. On 1 1 this point we accept the result of the many estimates published in detail in the crop report in subsequent pages of this book. 1 hey are exhaustive, and coming as they do from every section of the cotton region are certainly more accurate than any estimate that any banker or merchant can make on his own responsibility. If cotton spinning has not been nrnfitablft durinff the past vear in some parts of Europe, especially iji Eng land, no such complaint can be made as regards this country, uur spin ners have taken cotton largely, the mills have made money, and at the close of the year stocks of goods in first hands are quite moderate. Man ufacturer's prospects are good. They are spinning cotton at a much lower price than last year and all former years, and re prospecting. As a consequence 6f this, much new cotton machinery has been ordered, it is fast being delivered, and the spinning power of this country will be mate riallv increased. Our exports of cotton have been larere. reaching 4,337,203 bales. The erreat importance of our cotton as an article of export and the immense value of the cotton crop or this coun try is strikingly shown -in the table on a latter page of this book. Besides the exports of cotton from the United States those from India were large and from Egypt and other cotton producing countries were iair, yet the total visible supply of cotton in the world is now smaller than for years past, being on the 17th of Sep tember 1,025,527 bales against 1,105, 472 last year, 1,397,279 in 1884, and 1,625,703 bales in 1883. The price or miauling uplands in New York on 17th September was 9 5-16 cents, against 10 1-16 last year, 10 in and 10 m 1SS3. Stocks of cotton at the mills in u rope and America at the end of Au gust were said to be larger than ' at the same time last year, but the price of cotton is lower,the prospective needs ' of spinners are greater and increased stocks are warranted by the situa tion. With an acknowledged improvement in general business, a small present supply of cotton and the prospect of jcmly a moderate size crop, the aver age price of cotton should be higher this year than last. There is now, it is true, a somewhat widely prevailing opinion, or rather a sentiment, that because wheat, corn and some other great staple products are selling at extremely low prices, prices that are too low to be remuner ative to the producer, colton also should go to extremely low figures. No thing could be more fallacious or less warranted by facts. Wheat and other cereals are planted on a large scale in every civilized country in Jthe world, they require but little attention while growing, and can be harvested with machines at comparatively slight cost. Cotton on the contrary is grown in but few countries, and even in those coun? tries the area favorable to its growth is of limited extent. Cotton is a sort of monopoly, and no substitute for it can be found. Its cultivation is costly, the plant when young requires a great deal of working, and the crop subject throughout the season to a grea many vicissitudes. The gathering or picking of the matured cotton is very expensive, is in fact the main expense in the making of the crop. No ma chines can be brought into use to les sen the expense of picking, the whole work has to be done by hand. To produce cotton at very low cost, as grain is produced, four things are essential. Cheap labor, cheap, good landran independent financial condi tion among the planters and cheap provisions. None of these essentials except the last are found at present in the cotton States. Labor is high; really good cotton lands bear a higher price now than at any time in the last twenty-five vears,planters as a body are far from being in a condition to raise a crop without adyices from the com mission merchant or costly credit from the country store. Provisions are already so cheap that it cannot be ex pected that the cost of raising a crop. will be lessened by any further decline in them. All this being undoubtedly true, why should cotton go very low or why should it be compared as to price with grain and other products of the soil that are raised almost everywhere .in the world that it should be compared with them is a mere assumption,; a sentiment, not a conviction arrived at by considering the comparative cost of raising grain and cotton, or the comparative demand for them after they are raised. The demand for our cereals is variable ; it is large or small according as crops in other countries are bad. But the demand for our cot ton is steady, imperative and ever on the increase. As an evidence of this fact, for the last sixteen years the ex ports of our cotton to Europe have amounted in value to $3,221,804,977. The future prospects ,of the world touching the cotton industry seem favorable. The consumption has in creased and is increasing largely, the price of the raw article is low, about the cost of production, and we can see no reason why there should be any abatement in the demand for cotton goods, which are worn in every civil ized country of the habitable globe and for which there is no substi tute. In our opinion there is to-day no in dustry that promises a better return for capital that that of cotton spinning and manufacturing. Business pros pects in general are improving through the United States, and even the planter should have hope of re ceiving a more remunerative return for his labor.

This desideratum is one of the results of using SOZODONT, which not only invigorates and preserves the teeth, but renders the mouth as fra grant as a rose.

South American type. According to our ideas she lacks height, and there is too much of her aquiline nose. She is said to bo only 24, and may! be, as South American women dont long retain their girlishness. Of the seven children three, including the cadet, are her stepchildren. Her own four are little tots, dressed oddly, but always picturesquely. Mme. Barrios has magnificent jewels. Her collection of diamonds is said to rival tho European crown jewels. But she does not wear many of them now only a diamond comb, that blazes like an electric light, and a pair of solitaire ear rings as big as hickory nuts. One afternoon lately, just as she had stepped out of her carriage and taken her seat on one of the benches facing the grassy plain where the parade was formed, a cadet, standing in the middle of the line near the colore, suddenly fell full length on the grass. It is no uncom mon thing for them to faint after a hard day's drilling, particularly when it is warm and the belts around their slim waists are strapped unusually tight. It was soon known to be young Barrios. Mme. Barrios uttered a lit tle cry and flew to the edge of the path skirt ing the parade ground. She is said to be very affectionate to this step-son, and certainly showed a motherly solicitude. Meanwhile his belt had been unfastened, his coat opened, and while one cadet fanned him vigorously another ran for water to the officers' quarter, close by. The line stood motionless; nothing short of Judgment day could move that soldierly corps. The poor young fellow lay at full length, as still and white as death. Presently he stirred faintly. A cadet officer, with a red sash tied around his slim waist and a sword, stepjjed out of ranks and advanced toward Mine. Barrios, telling her it was nothing but a fainting fit, and in a minute or two Barrios was helped to his feet and walked feebly across the plain to the barracks, supported between two cadets. Mme. Barrios, with a companion, hurried if anything so graceful as her quick walk could be called hurried and. met him. So j'ou see she has- a heart as well as glorious eyes and a delicious voice. West Point Cor. Chicago News. In an Electric Storm. Messi-s. Walsh and Tweedy, of the United States geological survey, were caught out in an electric storm while sketching from a high peak, near Dixie Butte, Ore., recently. First there was a buzzing sound, apparently coming from under the drawing table that Mr. Walsh was using. He put his hand under the drawing sheet and received a severe shock. Tweedy, who was lying down, was disturbed, and jumped to his feet, but went down again quickly, for where he stood the electric fluid entered in such quantities as to produce an almost unbearable pricking sensation. Both men felt tremendous shocks, their hair stood up like bristles, their muscles twitched, and in all respects they felt as if connected to a jxnverful electric battery. Through it all the projecting rocks gave forth a musical, humming sound. New York Sun. Joke on Editor Pulitzer. Joseph Pulitzer, editor of The New York World, wandered into a fashionable res taurant in that city, one evening recently, to eat his supier. He had hardly been in there a minute when one of a party of English gentlemen, who had arrived but the day before, beckoned vigorously to him, with the exclamation of "Here, waitah; a glass of sherry!'' There was a roar. of laughter from those who witnessed the incident, and readily comprehended the Englishman's mistake, while Mr. Pulitzer's face turned all the colore shown through the spectrum, and he lost no time in hiding his confusion by a hasty and undignified exit. 'Confound it!" said the Englishman, when the cause of the laughter was explained to him, "I didn't know but the fellow was a waiter. He looks like one, and how could I telif Chicago Times. Gen. Sickles' Residence. Since Gen. Sickles had his famous quarrel with a gas company over a bill for gas charged for while his house was closed and he was away in Europe the general has kept bis eye on his meter, and now one of the most conspicuous ornaments in his handsomely fur nished house on Fifth avenue is a gilded and showy gas meter, which stands in an alcove in his front ball. It is an unusually elabor ate and intricate, and presumably vigilant, piece of mechanism, which combines with its functions of a measure also the qualities of a Hawkshaw, to detect and prevent the surrep titious entrance into Gen. Sickles' house of any uninvited and unnecessary supply of the insidious and costly fluid. A Female Revivalist. Mrs. WTood worth, a revalist, is attracting large crowds in Muncie, Ind. Her sermons are simply exhortations, and she holds her hearers quite as much by her manner as by her words. She is dramatic in tone and ac tion. Her speech is of a sing-song style, while her hands are kept busy in graceful gesture. At times her eyes are fixed heaven ward for several minutes, while she stands like a statue, her hands thrown back over her shoulders, palms upward, fn a slow, weaving motion. Her audience watch her intently, and are evidently deeply impressed. New York Sun. Henry George on Literary People. It is curious how people will persist in look ing upon writers as unpractical people, no matter what their previous experience has been. As matter of fact the literary people of to-day are as a rule excellent business men and women. Look at Mr. Stedman, for in stance. I myself am called a dreamer, an idealist and I don't know what else: Yet I have been a sailor in all parts of the world, a compositor, newspaper man and now a pub lisher. One would think I ought to have some knowledge of everyday affairs by this time. New York Tribune Interview. The Napoleonic Outlook Hopeless. Ex-Empress Eugenie of France has with drawn the pensions which she hitherto paid to the supporters of the Bonaparte dynasty. Several persons who were accus tomed to call at the Paris postoffice and draw their money orders on her majesty at Chisel hurst are now missed. The reason alleged for the withdrawal of the alllowances is that her majesty sees that the Napoleonic outlook in France is hopeless, and that there is nothing to be gained by sustaining the cause of im perialism against the republic Chicago Tribune. Mrs. James Brown Potter. Mrs. James Brown Potter produced such an impression upon the poet Browning dur ing her recent visit to London that he is writing a poem especially for her, which will be as dramatic as he can possibly make it. It is not to printed at all, and her recitation of it is expected to be a great feature of her dramatic appearances in New York this winter. The Argonaut. Mr. Conkling's Dinner.
