ENGLA1D STILL LEADS England still continues to bo and M1 .nw vn.ra tor COme be the world's greatest cotton manufac turer, although she does not raisa a pound of cotton ami buysevery pound she manufactures. She will cease some day to be great manufacturer, rshe has been and is,for she ia deatiued to be confronted with competition which she cannot withstand, com petition from cotton growing coun tries, the most formidable of which will be the United States and Ttnaaial the former of which does arid the latter wof which will riR its own cotton. She will have other ' competitors, Germany and France, both of which are looking to the future and taking steps to sup t1v the cotton their mills will need h nnMurasine ita culture in their African colonies. To what extent thev will succeed in this remains to be seen, but it is said the climate and the soil in the colonies where fco t.tmnt ia to be made are well UW wv f - adaDted to it. If so then England will fcvA siveral competitors in a field where she once had undisputed DVflV I But as it is both Germany and France are making considerable progress in cotton manufacturing, for the former has increased her exports about one-third in the past decade, while the latter has nearly MnMArt hers. It is only within the past decade that the manufac turers of the United States have struck out for the world's markets, bnt within that time they have in creased their exports from 136, 000,000 to 258,000,000 yards. This is a very small showing along side of the 5,134,966,000 yards ex ported by English manufacturers ten years ago, and the 5,034,250,000 yards exported in 1900. It appears from these figures that England has already begun to feel the" effects of competition, because the exports o last year have fallen below those of ten years ago, but not enough to show anv aerioas crippling, while the immensity of the figures show the determination of the Britons to make a hard fizht to hold the field where they once held full sway. That they will make a hard fight may be taken for granted, for an in . duatry that gives employment to so many people, makes business for so many ships, and brings in three or four hundred millions of dollars, an nually, will not be surrendered with oat a hard and prolonged struggle. The same reason that will keep the New England mills running and pre vent the rapid removal of the indus try to the South will prolong the life of the industry in England. There is too much money invested in the industry to let it die, and - consequently the mills will be kept running as long as possible, even at much reduced profits. If there were any other promising industry that might be substituted the end might come sooner, but there is not. English thinkers who look from the past into the future realize that England's supremacy as a manufac taring nation, which means also as a commercial nation, is passing away, and no doubt some of her manu facturers also realize it, and hence the efforts which some of them have made for intervention by the Government to check competition in her colonial markets, where Eng -lUh manufacturers have found sale for so much of their output. In those colonies and other territory over which she has direct or indi rect control English cotton manu facturera found a market for more than one half of their exports last year; and in not one of these did they have serious competition. They win probably retain supremacy in India' for many years to come, but they must lose their grip on China. for although England has Hong Kong as a base of operations, her manufacturers will there be met by the Russians, Japanese and Ameri cans, every one of whom will be come more formidable as the contes progresses. The industry has grown rapidly in Japan, which has &i many people as the United Kingdom, and alert, progressive and aggressive people, too, who have made i success of . the industry, although they, like the English manufacturers; have to import the raw material but in machinery they are equal to the English while they have the advant age of cheaper labor and o: nearness to the markets of China. In Bussia the mills are steadily ( and rapidly increasing, and the BussianwiU have the advantage of growing their own supplies of the raw material with the additional advantage of railroad transportation which will enable them to reach in weeks the Chinese markets, which it will take the English manu facturers months to reach. These are two formidable compet itors on that side of the earth, with : an even more formidable one in this country on this side, which will not contest supremacy with her- in the markets en this' hemisphere . only, but also in her colonial posses ; sions, which will give the preference to jcngiian manufactures only so 1 long as the English manufacturers t " f A , , .11 ' "- . . . . give biiem uviims inupuni man otn- currents, and not at the nig that the ship" that holds the flies on cargo We have entered the neiu - .

Mill building in this country has not yet fully begun, and it is nearly at an end in Eng land. SOMETHING IH WHICH THE SOUTH IS INTERESTED. It is said that there are fewer cat tie raised in this country now, not withstanding the increased demand, than there were ten years ago, at tributed to the mtf e contracted pas ture ranges and to the exhaustion on some of the ranges of. the grasses on whiph- the cattle fed. As bearing upon this we clip the following from thA "New York Sun, because it is something in which the South is in terested: "A known oattla dealer who A.antlv wrote a review of the cattle market in 1890 expressed the opinion that hnfora manv Years, nearly all the beef cattle of the country would come from the corn belt States. He said that overcropping was rapidly destroying the trrAt nlains. and that their imoortance at a source of hf was constantly dimiaishioi? "There is no doubt that the very irA f aMfi industry in the corn belt is capable of indefinite expansion. The farms, as a rule, are kept in a slate of excellent fertility. A given area will supply enough forage and grain to send to market eight or ten times as manv fat cattle as are now raised on the same area in the range States and Territories. Great Britain is buying from us every year over $30,000,000 worth of live cattle, or about inree fourths of all the cattle on the hoof imnorted bv her markets. Most of these shinments some from the corn belt States, from Nebraska and Knsas to Oaio. Comparatively few of the range cattle are torwarded on the hoof but are sent to the packing centres, whence they go to the domestic or for eign consumer as refrigerated, canned, mckled or salted beef. ''About one-half of our total beef eznorts are now derived from the corn belt. But the range States contribute the larger part of the dressed beef that is sent to tne thousands or oome mar kets: and while the beef industry may be enormously increased in the rich corn raising 8utes. tha diminution in the supply from the great plains amounts to the very serious impair ment of a large source of wealth. The Department of Agrfiltute estimated in 1898 that if the natural pastures on the plains were covered with as luzu riant a growth of grass as they had twenty years earlier, the additional number of live stock they would sup port would be worth at least $100,OCO, 000. "It is not only, however, that a great deal of the grass has been de strayed by overstocking, but also that the ranges have been much curtailed bv the advance of farmers ana mi n era. Thus western Kansas, Ne braska and the Dakotas and large die tricta in Montana and Wyoming, which were once free ranges, have become less and less available. The growing sheep industry, also, has led to contention between sneeo ana eat tie for the same field. There is no longer room for all, as in the days when the wild West was virgin land and open pasture." The best beef that goes to the markets goes from the corn growing States, as stated by the Sun, even many of the Texas cattle and cattle from other ranges being driven into these States and fed until they are sufficiently fat to come up to the grade of first class beef. Cattle raising for shipment is an industry which has attracted but little attention in the South, and that but recently, since it has been discovered that cotton seed me hulls, &c, an excellent feed for Tut ting eattle. Bnt the fact that ttfere is so much pasture range in khe South, which is unsuitable fot cul tivation, with the mild winters in which the cattle do not suffer from exposure as they do further North, gives tne South exceptional advan tages for the profitable pursuit of this industry, in which it can success fully compete with the great corn growing States of the West where the winters are severe, and the expense of feeding and caring for stock greater. With the natural advan tages she has the South ought to become the great cattle-raising sec tion of the country. Bobbed tbe Grave.

He is now a prisoner awaiting the sailing of the vessel on which he is to be deported. This man was a soldier and served as a volunteer in one of the Minne sota regiments, but as he refused to wear a muzzle he, like the banished Filipinos, became the victim or impe rialistic despotism. Gen. Otis had his press censors who ran their bine pencil through everything he didn't want the public to know, but he didn't go to the extent of banishing editors who exposed the maladminis tration of officials, and -refused to wear muzzles. There was no charge that this man" was disloyal, or that he was giving aid and comfort to the "insurgents." He was simply ex posing, as ho thought in the public interest, a case of official malfeas ance, and for this he was snatohed up and banished, as a dangerous character.

When Gen. Frey, who command ed French soldiers in China, got back to France he found himself in a stew. He took baok with him a lot of loot in the shape of preoious stones, silver ornaments, ivory and antique works, with some of which he intended to decorate his roost, giving others to friends and selling some. Bnt his plans were all nipped by the Government, which ordered him back to China, accompanied by another order to gather all that truck and take It back and deliver it to the people he stole it from.

They sustain a greater injury in the demoralizing effect produced upon those who are en trusted with official duty through all the ramifications of government.' The measure that called forth the rebuke was a river and harbor bill appropriating less than $19,000,000. The House has just passed a bill that involves an expenditure, of $60. 000,000.

Bear con - were uppermost in market to-day and under tremendous selling for all accounts prices tumbled badly. The fluctuations in the general list far ex-j ceeded those of ant day of late, and the' narrow rut qrecently followed by tha 1. A. LL 11 . margei m general was ananaonea. The January deal, however; hardlX budged throughout the ; , decline,! being supported by ; the cUque and urgent ; demand from belated shorts. On: the! opening oaU the market was barely steady, with Janu ary five points 1 higher and other months unchanged to three points lower., Liverpool cables proved dis appointing, while the movement of the crop overtopped forecasts. Selling for short account jsoon set in, but not uotil the early afternoon was there any positive, indication of weakuess among outside holders. Then stop oiden were reached and large amounts o' long stuff came out. Everybody seemed to have cotton to sell, while buyers were i hard; to find. Turns for profits from: time to time by room ' snoru were invariably followed by fresh selling and a further heavy; decline in priced For a long time the March option had the support of several prominent operators and the parity with May was widened to fourteen points ; (but before the close even that month gave way to the tre mendous pressure from' all sides. From opening to closing speculation was active with! Europe, the South, wire interests, Wjall Street and local parties identified! as active sellers.. Around the jslose, buying on the reacl tion theory r was I indulged in. The market was finally easy with January nominal and other months net four! teen to eighteen points lower. 1 Nbw YORK, Jan1. 30. Cotton irregu j lar and dull ; middling uplands 12c.
