The porcelain that the ■mark known as Royal Berlin, has the rep utation of being only second to Dresden, and in many instances equal to it. The word “Royal" before the name china, de note.-. that it came from a royal establish ment. “K. M. P.” stands for Koniglich Porcelain Manufacture. Old Dresden china was first manufactured at the royal manufactory at Meiseon, five miles from Dresden, and was under the patronage of Augustus 1 (Augustus Rex. the A.

The ma;k of j another porcelain made at Stoke-upon- ■ Trent is of wide repute under the name of : Copeland. Their most famous pattern is ’ remarkable for its rose and other floral | decorations.

PREDICTS ADVANCE Os PRICE But Finds No Reason Why the Crop Should be Very Much Reduced for Next Year. At the opening of the market on the morning of February 10th there was gath ered together in the office of the Cotton Exchange twenty-five men representing several professions including buyer and seller of actual cotton, grocery merchants, guano men, capitalists, brokers, one city aiderman and one practicing physician, and it is dollars to doughnuts that they all read The News and won’t pass this article written for their amusement and interest, for as all of them are experts in a specula tive sense I wuold not presume to tell them anything, doubtless they will hold me excused if I save them the trouble of looking up and compiling the figures in which all are interested. The future market has advanced in the last month over 40 points, while spots in Liverpool and New York have practically kept pace, the latter market quoting today 6’A against 5% some time since, while- the city of Macon has kept pace with the little steamer so gallantly pushing her way to this port and is selling cotton today at 5%@5% against 5 and 5% in November, and while these figures still seem low, compared to other markets they are “high as a house.” The holder of cotton is flrm and the sup ply offering is small, why, partially be cause all have recognized for a long time the great staple was below the cost of production, but under the miserable sys tem we labor in these Southern states which forces the majority—aye, the great majority—to market their crop in three months the supply far exceeds the demand. The manufacturer is only human and with the weight of capital buys a year supply in those said three months, but to remedy this evil will take a better man than the writer so we will pass and endeavor to show you what it cost to raise and market a bale, of cotton in this state, the second largest producer of them all. As an example I will take a one-horse farm on rented land and submit figures carefully revised by my friend, Jerry Wil lis, of Bibb county, himself a successful farmer. Rent of 30 acres of land at $2 $ 60 00 (20 in cotton and 10 in corn) 3 tons of guano (meal and acid... 50 00 1 man time and nations for six months 57 00 3 hoelngs of cotton crop at $1.50 per acre 30 00 Working corn 5 00 Picking and ginning per bale at 8.15 81.50 $283 50 He produces on the land: 10 bales cotton 500 lbs each at 5c $250 00 300 bushels of cotton seed at 12c.. 36 00 $286 00 The cost of cultivating the corn is in cluded in the above, because that is nec essary to the support of man and mule, while nothing is allowed for wear and tear, repairs and taxes. Again it is doubtful if the tenant will make ten bales and still more doubtful if they will average 500 pounds each, but to make the figure show to the best advan tage we give the tenant the benefit of tha doubt. Again it cost something in time and labor to dispose of the cotton and the seed for they are not sold on the land where they are raised. Now some gentleman may ask why raise cotton at these figures. Well I quote a well known farmer of Jones county who said: “I met a negro who is running four plows and asked him if he was making prepantions to plant as much cotton as last year and he replied, yes boss, a negro is obliged to plant cotton if he wants a white man to talk to him. Corn and hogs don’t count.” “The fact is, captain, it is the negro who raises the cotton in our section, the land is all rented out and for cotton.” Now with these conditions etaring us in the face it will not be the fault of the average Georgia farmer if he fails to raise another large crop and receives about the same price or less. Always providing the good Lord gives him another equally as good season. But as nature is a great equalizer the season is exceedingly doubt ful and the world at large would cheer fully pay the allotted $300,000,000 for a smaller cotton crop. In 1894 and 1895 when the South made what Is known to the trade as the big crop and 5 cent cotton showed for the first time we had received up to this date in round numbers 650,000 bales more, while the visible supply is about 400,000 less than at that time. Thus the question is what has become of it and we answer the export demand has kept pace with the receipts and while the stock at the ports and interior towns Is still large, cheap money and firm hold ers make actual cotton hard to obtain. The Southern mills are running on full time, the manufactured article finds a ready market, much of it going to China and Japan, while the strike In New Eng land serves to reduce consumption to some extent, it enables the holder to dispose of the goods already made, which are quoted firm. In conclusion I would like to ask if with everything against the great staple such as over 4. fi oo,ooo bales received in Novem ber and December it stubbornly refused to decline. Why should it not now advance with many things in its favor. My newspaper friend told me in Jan uary the market would not go up until March, but I disagreed with him and con fidentially looked for this advance much sooner and I am badly off my bearings if it does not go much higher. I ?nly beg" to repeat if you speculate it is well to recollect it is man against man and dollar against dollar, with the chances against you -“right or wrong.” A. F. P.
