THE SOUTH FORGING AHKAlt.
Mr. Henry G. Hester, secretary
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
and an expert in cotton statistics,
has already published the size of the
last cotton crop of the United States,
as well as the details of the market
ing of that crop. Mr. Hester makes
the couon crop of ISM-lm 7, 175,34o
bales, as compared with a crop of
9,901,251 for the preceding year.
The falling off resulted mainly from
a systematic and general reduction
of acreage, the higher prices which
resulted enabling the farmers to
realize better results from their
crops of last year, short as they
were, than followed from the sale of
the enormous yield of 1894 95. Mr.
Hester shows that Southern mills
have consumed 904,701 bales of cot
ton, as compared with 862,838 dur
ing the preceding year. This rep
resents an increase in con
sumption, which is interesting
from the fact that the takings of
Northern mills show a heavy falling
off. Northern spinners consumed
1,600,000 bales, as against 2,083.000
bales last year, a reduction in the
consumption of nearly half a million
bales. As the New Orleans Pica
yune remarks: "Such figures cer
tainly show the drift of the cotton
milling industry southward. "'
The number of applications from
clubs for membership in the Na
tional Association of Democratic
Clubs has been steadily increasing,
but the record was this week broken
when fifty-three applications were
received in a single day.
The Democratics of Washington
intend making the Bryan and Sewall
ratification meeting to be held on
the afternoon of the 19th inst., one
of the biggest affairs of the kiDd
ever held at the National capital.
Arrangements are now being made
to run special excursion trains from
Maryland, Virginia and West Vir
ginia, and it will not be surprising
if Mr. Bryan shall be greeted on
that occasion by a largercrowd than
he has spoken to at any of the places
he has visited since his nomination
A letter has been received at
Democratic headquarters from R
A. Watkins, a prominent lawyer, of
Lancaster, Wis., which answer the
Republican assertion that silver
sontijient is dying out in that state.
Mr. Watkins writes : "The situation
in Wisconsin is very favorable, and
quite as good, if not better, for the
Democracy than it was at .this
period of thecampaignof 1892, when
we carried the state. The socalled
silver Craze is not dying out here,
our Republican friends to the con
trary notwithstanding."
With due ceremonial benefitting
the occasion, the first sod in connec
tion with the 1900 exhibition will
shortly be turned, and the works
entailed by the new designs wilt be
at once put in band, says .the Paris
Messenger. . One of the first under
takings will,Qf course, be to de
molish the Palais' de Industrie and
to construct a bridge across the
Seine close to the Esplanade des In-
valides. This work is to be com!
menced in a month and meanwhile
an inquiry is to be opened, and per
sons interested are invited to sign
thel names with any observations
they may have to make at the public
works office at the hotel de Ville. It
is just possible, however, that the
commencement of the works will be
postponed on account of the forth
coming visit of the czar.
Hon. Spencer Jones, Chairman of
the Maryland State Democratic Com
mittee, says of the outlook in that
State: "I am more and more con
vinced every day as the campaign
progressess, that Maryland will
elect Bryan and Sewall electors by
a large majority. We are gainfng
more Republicans than we shall lose
Democrats. The Palmer and Buck
ner electoral ticket, if one is put up,
will not cost Bryan a single vote. I
should like to see the third electoral
ticket named as we could then find
out how many Democrats bolt the
ticket." While Mr. Jones didn't
say so, it may be interred that toe
rank and tile of the party, in Mary
land, as well as in other States, will
know what future use to make of a
roster of the bolting Democrats.
