' v Washington,' Aug. 17.- President Yvmanobe, of the Osaka Cotton Bpln- ti..g Company, of Tokohama, recently mad a business tour Into Manchuria and Korea. He say that th market for American . cotton ' good . ia ex tremely unfavorable while -that for Japanese food Is promising. The rood nipped for Manchuria during- the .month of May by the can el Kumlal. a syndicate for th ex port of cotton foods, amounted to 1,' 009 bale, Tha ayndlcat shipped 'L 600 bale In Jun. 1,000 bale In July, and will ship l.oO bales thle month and 1.000 In September. Mr. Taraanobe aayeithe purchasing power of the Manchuria na. la almoat boundless. The inhabitants or Man churl are much batter off than the Korean, and In addition to thle ad vantage about g.Mt persona are year ly flowlnf into the country from fthantnng and . the surrounding coun try. These new set tiara add to the demand, and It'll difficult to estimate tha consumption of cotton good in Manchuria. Japanese " sheetings ' -which have been placed on, the mar ket are finding ready sales. This la ' due to the cheap price and good quality fit the output Yamanobe ay also that his people will strive to take Into (heir own hands at least one-third of the cotton goods sup . plied lo th. Manchuriana by Amer loan. - This statement Is significant and is. worth consideration by. Amer lean cotton good men. - ' 1 AMERICAN IMPORTS. " " ' American cotton imported "through the Jfewchwang customs house alone mounts to 7. 00 bales a year, and the value of each bale la about 170. There to also a large smount Imported i by Junks, and Hhe grand total sup plied by America to about 140,000 bale." Bo Urge Is ths demand In Manchuria that It can scarcely be eup- . piled if the whole production of sheet ing in japan, lze.oo naies, is snip ped there. Under the present state of thing it I entirely out of ques tion to drive away America goods ..from the Manchurian market, but It t generally admitted that Japanese '. cotton textile ew ill conquer the Man churl market In the end. v - The market for America goods. Is unfavorable, and supplies are as - readily getting congested as Japanese " goods are being cleared. The price of Japan shirtings is ll.ll per piece f 40 yards as against the American, which I valued at from ll.ll to 11.76, 'while the quality of the two la almost ' ' alike.' The Japanese enjoy another . advantage. They are admitted duty fr at Dley while American goods hat to pay aa Import duty of about It per bale at Newchang. This gives . f. he Japanese big lead. MANCHURIA AS A MARKET.' ' Manchuria Is on of the bast mar ket In the world for cotton textiles. : The rt of weaving is yet in a very primitive state, nd as It cannot be Improved In the near future, the In- i habitants must look abroad for th supply of cotton stuff for their clothing. The Urge majority of th , population are peasant and laborers, and they are naturally Inclined to prefer coarse and more durable Jap anese oottons to finer calloo. ' The Japanese hope to utilise the market shortly In th country north of Kwsng-chen-tse th region about Chngchung and Klrln. Textiles are , sent Into Mongolia is considerable quantity from Kwang-chen-tie. They Iso say that cotton goods will find better markets ' In Manchuria the ' more they are sent fsrther north- v eastward. Negotiations are also In progress by th Japanese for their . weaver to establish selling head- -, quarter In Km-ang-chen-ts. There is little doubt that the Jep- . nea srs on th alert, both for the expansion of their business and for belter and more modern weaving methods, by which they hope event ually to cut oft American trade In 1 Manchuria.

J I. -From all the indications it is. fair . to. assume that the year will yield an abundant hsrv est and full crops to the intelligent farmer in this "section of country. Is true no doubt, that cottonon some fsrms Is quite poor and the cxperlenc cd grower cautions the chance visitor against supposing' that, because the plant Is vigorous and sthe,. 'weed" nourishing that therefore the yield of cotton, will be heavy, -buV after all It Is impossible .to ihtnk that the outlook Is not very flno Jn .this part of the State. In a little-drive a 'few' miles from town th other-day,-th writer happend on, what Is known about here as the old "Barring er:' . place. . now owned by Mr. S. F. Christenbury. The owner does -notf claim that he owns a gold mine, but his farm apparently Is snabllng him to coin money, so that three times the price he paid for th land a few years go would not tempt him to sell now. ' He told me that on 20 acres last year he made 10 bale of cotton, on 21 this year he expect to make ,1. And hi corn Is Just about as line as Ms cotton. As to Poland-China pigs I hop to say word Ister. ', These vacation afternoons give fr- 4uen opportunities for a look at th growing crops and for - passing con gratulations to the i tiller of th soil. who at this season can sit for a while under the shade of a tree and watch things grow and mature. To-day Mr. Frank Knox, th well-known sec re tsry and treaturer of th Linden Cotton Mill, -who stock he and other officers hav raised to a book value that scares them no little about tax listing time, picked -wP th scribe and drove him out to one of his several farms, this particular on being on the edge of Iredell Just north of the college. Mr. Knox believes thst In vestments in land are both safe and profitable and to-day he Is the own er of some eight or nine- hundred acres, most of which makes a 'good return on tha amount of capital in vested In It. . One interesting sight on this farm. which is under th management of Mr. John Hsll Is bottom, half t mil - long In magnificent ' corn. In. stead of vowing peas when th corn is laid by" th owners grow a crop of cockleburre. . They Insist that when thee weeds cease to grow and get killed, out the land will cease to make corn and In confirmation of this idea they showed th observer a point In the field where these were none and where th fall ing off In th quality of th corn was very marked. The statement Is an In teresting one. but for Its truth the scribe rsnnot be held responsible and peases It on for comment by those whose experience is wider, At the point wher ther is a manifest de terioration In the corn begin the line thst mark land one belonging to another owner. Apparently the land is precisely the same In chsracter, but the previous owner worked his corn after the old method of plowing the cvorn In cultivation and throwing the dirt up In the row sgalnat the plant Instead of cultivating merely the sur face of the ground as all the experi ment farms of to-day recommend. This deep plowing seems to kill out th growth of weeds and bury the top soil so deep or else cuts off the young corn roots to such an extent thst the plant loses its chance for a vigorous growth and healthy development. At sny rate the two soils slds by side and spparently with no difference in nat sral conditions show a vast differ ence In productiveness, the one Is bar of burrs and short of corn ears, th other has a thick covering of burs as if they were sown as a fertiliser and the corn ears are heavy and abundant. , On the uplands the cotton plsnt is fin, thi fruitage excellent and noth ing but an unexpected blighting drouth and a very early frost can pre vent a large yield to the acre. Jn one of thess fields, the visitor noted a spot bout 20 or more feet square In which every plant was a black and as shriv eled as If it had been cooked In stove and asked with some curiosity what kind of blight or disease had left Its msrk there. The answer, how ever wss easy enough, a bolt of light ning had done the dsmsge and there Is little doubt that If th ploughman and his-mule hsd been busy here at this particular moment. neither ploughman, nor mule would have escsped Instant death. The cotton patch Itself certainly Illustrated very forcibly the blackness of desth and the blasting force of the lightning's stroke. k fore of two doxen or more men is pushing the Watts' Dormitory to a finish as rapidly as possible.
