Friday, November 24.1905,
The Census Report ontbenum
ber of bales of cotton ginned up
to November 14th, shows that
less than seven and a half million
bales had been ginned to that
date. In 1904 7*4 per cent, of
the crop had been ginned to
November 14, and about 70 per
cent, in 1903. The crop is earlier
this season than either of the
other years named, and the
present indications are that at
least 75 per cent of this year's
crop has been ginned. This will
place this crop at almost teu
million bales. The report sent
cotton up about a cent a pound,
the staple selling on this market
yesterday as high as 11%. Many
believe cotton will go to 15 cents
a pound and those who are able
to hold will surely get a good
price, if they will be slow in put
ting it on the market

!
INLY SIX PERSONS WERE SAVED

twenty-eight persona lost their Uvea
in the wretk of the I.on2on and South
western Railway company's steamer
Hilda oft the northern coast of France
Saturday night, at 'cording to an official
estimate given out by the officers of
the company. This death roll includes
il saloon passengers, 80 French union
sellers and 27 of the crew.
The Hilda left Southampton on
Friday night for St Malo. Her
pasFage was greatly delayed by a fog
in the channel, and when nearlng St.
v.'alo she ran into a severe snow
st< rnt. apparently missed her course
tnd foundered on the roclts off Jardln
lighthouse, three miles from St Malo.
The company's st amer Ada, out
ward from St. Malo. rest tied five of the
passengers and one of the crew
They are the only survivors.
A telegram from St. Severn, adjoin
ing the town of St. Malo, gives the
fev p titulars yet available. The
Hilda was near St. Malo Saturday
morning. She struck the rocks yes
terday morning in the roadstead off
the Island cf Cezembre, having missed
the tide owing to bad weather and the
fog.
The majority of the crew and pas
sengers were aflop at the time of the
accident. A lifeboat was picked up
empty at St. Cast, where 13 bodies
were washed ashore. The top of the
Hilda's tunnel and her mast are vlsi
ble at low Uda, according to the tele
gram from St. Servan.
The disaster was first suspected
through the washing ashore of a body,
and the port authorities immediately
sent out a tug. It was then learned
that the Hilda was wrecked on a
treacherous reef elose to the Island oi
Cezembre, eai'ed Lea Portes. She had
apparently strut k. broken her back
and Immediately stink leaving no time
to launch the boats. The Jardin light
Is quite close to the spot. It cannot be
explained as yet at what time or how
the disaster occurred. The entrance to
St. Malo Is dangerous, the currents
and rocks needing the exercise of con
siderahle caution at all times, but
more espet 'ally in bad weather.
Many bodies have been washed
ashore at different points, some wear
ing life belts. Six of the survivors, ac
cording to a report in circulation here,
were rescued by the Ada from the
rigging.
[The Hilda was built at Glasgow in
1882. and registered 848 tons. She was
a screw steamer, of iron construction. |
