Egyptian Cotton Cannot Rival the AniericQn Crop Baltimore, Dec. U. (Special) Col. Alfred B. Shepperson. the recognized cotton statistical authority of New York, ;.- nf ttiQ nuinlnn o f t -r ! rnrfll1 stllflv 1. ui tJJi ss.u.va. wv " . . . . v abroad, of the situation, that there is no; the slightest prooafiility that the mum crop of Egypt will ever add to the vorld supply enough to appreciably affed the price of American cotton. He -makes this statement in an article in this week's issue of the Manufacturers Kecord, detailing the results of his spe cial study of the irrigation works under construction at Assouan and Assiout on the Kiver Nile. He writes: "Egypt is an almost rainless country, ;he average yearly rainfall at Alexan dria for the past thirty years being only about eight inches. "Xo crops of any kind can be grpwn except by irrigation, and the River Nile is the only source of water supply. The Nile is a swift and turbulent stream, and i?s muddy waters deposit upon the irrigated fields a sediment exceedingly rich in fertilizing properties. "The cultivable soil of Egypt consists only of the land which can be reached by the water tf the Nile. Beyond this limit there is only a barren waste of smd and desert utterly impossible of nitivation. Thp Xil vallcv is nuite narrow, ranging from five to nine miles in width a mere, ribbon of green ver lnre in a setting of brown sand. A "low Nil",' therefore, has always meant 'lean crops.' and a failure of the flood ' a failure of the crops. "In order to hold back the water of the great river, so that from its banks and through irrigation canals it could be distributed to the fields as needed, the irrigation works known as the 'Bar- - rage.' a few miles north of Cairo, were completed in lSH. They were strength 'ued and improved in 1890 and served their purpose for a time, but with the imrenrce nf the cultivated acreage nortl ! or Cairo and the extension of cultiva tion in the valley south of Cairo," it was evident that larger and better facilities tor water supply were needed. A con tract was therefore made by the Egyp tian Government in February. 1808 with uessrs. .Tnbn Airrl A- land for the construction of extensive t?rop to be planted in 1903, as cotton is planted m Apnl and May. It Is not usual fof; contract work to be finished before the time agreed, and, therefore, it seems ouite probable that the cotton crop of lSf04 will be the first one to be affected by the new works. "The chief purpose of the construction of the works at Assouan and Assiout was to safeguard the crops of the land wil city will own when the purchase is made, the city will erect a city-hall find market house. -It Is proposed to have an alley, way 24 feet wide from Mulberry street, an alley 20 fet wide from Ash street, ' au alley way 15 feet vri.de- from John street, and an alley way 20 feet wid& on each side of the market house leading in from East Cen tre Street. This will make the market accessible from all directions. Besides making concessions in the master of alley way$ 'and other induce ments, the property owners in that J cality propose to give the city $1,000 in cash. While the location was not de cided on this account, still ic is a. very neat contribution and . will help consid erably toward purchasing the - property. There were a great many other sites offered the city, but the inducements were not so many aiid the advantages no: jienr so numer-on.?. The board of aldermen held a meet ing last night and decided to take charge elf the electric light plant ou the first day of January. The board decided to boy the plant some weeks ago and the price agreed upon was $25,000. . The only action last night was the ratifica tion of the date and a decision when the 6a me should go intoeffect. The londs with which the city" will pay.for plant have not been disposed of up to the present, but the finance commit ' "c of the board arc negotiating their - a- and are, of course, trying to dis- I'ose of them at the Jowest rate of inter est possible.

Ga, but this will be chiefly xn upper H.gyp where the cottonis much inferior to that of lower Egypt, and brings a consider ably lower price. Valued correspon dents in Alexandria who are prominent merchants and also largely interested in the cultivation of cotton write me in respect to acreage that they fbelieve lower Egypt will benefit but little as the area under cultivation has already reach ed a point from whfch an increase be comes difficult. Upper Egypt will bene fit to a much greater extent, but the in crease in acreage there will be gradual, as it will depend upon the canalization", (or building of canals to take the water to the fields) which will be made. The chief object of the new dams was to remove any danger of scarcity of water for irrigation purposes in lower Egypt, and not in view of any very extensive in crease in acreage.' The sys tem of rotation of crops is general, and. vthe new acreage, like the present, will he devoted each year to the crop which then promises to be the most profita ble. Less than one -third of the culti vable land of Egypt is now devoted to cotton and it is unlikely that cotton will get even this proportion of the increas ed acreage. Egyptian cotton commands a much 'higher price . than our upland cotton because of its special adaptabili ty to certain purposes and the compar atively small crop. If the supply be largely increased, however, the price wil? inevitably decline and this will curtail production." . . Southern ports seem likely, according to the Manufacturer.' Record, to ma- f p record for 1901 as exporters of bread stuffs.

What will be' known as the Southern Furniture Exposition will probably open in High Point the coming spring. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of our manufacturers in the mayor's office when this question came up.

It has been apparent for some time among furniture men of the South that the annual exhibit must come, and" it soems to be the universal opinion that High Point is the place. It will mean much for the furniture business of the South. A4 meeting of the Southern Furniture Manufacturers' Association was held here yesterday. Representatives from a number of the factories wore in attend ance. The business transacted was of a private nature, and all that could het learner. is that the business . before tho association was disposed of satisfacr tonly to all City Will Own the Electric Plant the majority...
