ABOUT NEILL'S
ESTIMATE
And Many Other Things Af
fecting the Present Sales
of Cotton.
II IS MMHG STILL,
Captain Parrott Writes Interesting
ly on the Subject of Cotton and
Its Present Status.
Almost daily we hear that the farmers
in the bottom lands of Texas and Missis
sippi are still picking cotton, but the old
red hills of Georgia, who follow next to
the first state, and lead the latter in the
number of bales produced, as if deter
mined not to be left, show up a field in
Upson county that has not been picked at
all. So says my friend, C. B. Adams,
across the stree.t and that the cause was
litigation, in which the field round itself
involved early in the season, and is still
there.
The cotton market is very much like
the wily politician, it looks one way and
works the other.
Thus, on Feb. sth, spot cotton was
quoted in New York at 5 15-16, for mid
dling, and the best goods in Macon 5%,
while August contracts opened at 5.96. On
Feb. 9th, spots in the first city had ad
vanced to 6 J 4 and f° 5% in Macon, with
August futures at C. 25.
Everything pointed to a liberal advance,
but tired holders in both spots and futures
found their offerings on the market like
water running over Niagara Falls, and it
sagged back of its own accord. However
the exports kept pace with the receipts,
and in our own market each and every
day has shown a good demand, with all
offerings held well up in the figures. Sell
ers conceding % on sales, and August
contracts losing 15 points.
But the spot market in New York re
mains at 6VI, and 5% in Macon.
On last Saturday morning a Macon ware
houseman called my attention to Mr.
Neill’s circular letter, and his estimate oi
the crop, and seemed so confident that the
market must decline on this gentleman’s
statement that I paused to try and remem
ber when, he came so prominently to the
front, and how often had he been right.
Speaking from memory, he commenced es
timating the crop some five or six years
since, and as the season advanced revised
his figures to fit the situation. Thus when
he estimated this crop in October to be
10,500,000, his figures were regarded ter
ribly out of the way by the trade, but
when the last of February he revises them
and says the crop will be over 11,000,000,
he only tells us what It apparent ito all,
and he does not show that, he had any
information that was far reaching or any
more reliable than many oher gentlemen
possessed.
For instance, the government had given
the acreage, and the amount of fertilizers
used could be estimated pretty closely,
but above all the seasons on which de
pended the amount to be made was an un
known quantity.
If, on the Ist of October, 1898, any cot
ton buyer in Macon is asked to estimate
the total crop, and revise his figures, the
middle of February, 1899, and he misses it
a half million bales, I will agree to quit
the business.
Mr. Neill in 18S5 was a cotton buyer in
a small interior market in Georgia known
as Atlanta, and the records show that for
the season that progressive city reported
her receipts as 169.407 bales, while last
year they had fell to 91,775. Perhaps the
difference can be accounted for in the way
local cotton and through cotton is counted,
and thus Mr. Neill’s figures are valuable
or otherwise, as you look at them.
For instance, he says the total consump
tion of all countries will be 9,050,000 Amer
ican cotton, while Ellison, of Liverpool, an
acknowledged statistician of many years
standing, tells the trade the world will
need 9,600,000 of American cotton.
Again Mr. Neill says: “The southern
mills are doing well, and will probably
consume 100,000 bales more than last year.
But the-reverse is the case with the north
ern mills.”
Now, the New York Financial and Com
mercial Chronicle, of Feb. 19th, tells us
“the northern spinners have taken to date
432,000 bales more than last year.”
Do you think they have bought it for
fun. or is it because they think the south
will not produce another crop. If so. I
would suggest they kindly send an agerut
down here, and I think we can convince
them the Atlantic states will see to it that
they are not short another season.
Again, the Chronicle says: “There has
been a further general demand for cotton
goods during the past week, both on the
spot and through mail orders. Buyers are
arriving in the market more freely, and
in both commission and jobbing circles the
result is seen in an increasing business,
the local jobbing houses, in fact, record
ing the best week they have had for a
considerable time. The improvement in
the general tonepreviously noted is well
maintained, and slight advances in some
lines of staple cotton have been openly
quoted.”
In conclusion, I quote from a circular
letter of Lehman Bros., a house known to
the trade these many years:
“Notwithstanding a renewed interest on
the part of the public, the pressure was at
times sufficient to cause a loss of 10 or 12
points. A part of this is unquestionably due
to the developments in Cuban waters, and
if the latest development‘has not induced
considerable selling it has at least re
stricted buying, towards which there has
been a decided inclination, more particu
larly encouraged by the buoyant stock
market, which prevailed until the last few
days.
Now, if my warehouse friend will care
fully weigh all the points here presented
for his benefit. I think he will cotne to the
conclusion there is nothing in sight to be
frightened at, and that cotton must ad
vance, because the present and former low
prices were based on these heavy receipts
and dull trade, the end of which is in
sight. A. F. P.

FOURTH STREET
COMPLETED,
Paved With Granite Cubes
and Turned Over to
the City.
ITS MANY ADVANTAGES,
A Fair Comparison of the Cubes
With Other Material Used in
Other Cities.
The werk of paving Fourth street has
been entirely completed by the contractors,
and has been turned over to the city for
acceptance.
It is the universal opinion of every one
that has seen this street that it is the best
piece of work ever done in the south.
A pavement laid like this is practically
indestructible, and in discussing it the
matter of repairs never enters into the
subject, as would be the case in discussing
Other paving materials. It will be many
’ ears before this street will require any
repairs, if at all, and the city need have
no fears in sprinkling it as often and as
freely as they see fit. for, unlike other
paving materials, water will not injure it.
On this line it would be well to quote the
following editorial from the Engineering
News of May 24th, 1894:
“An asphalt pavement which won't wash
is a curiosity which Philadelphians are
now discussing. If the newspapers of that
city can be believed, the director of public
works- has forbidden further sprinkling of
certain asphalt paved streets on the
ground that the contractors who did the
paving notified him that “indiscriminate”
sprinkling of the pavement when heated
by-a hot summer sun would seriously in
jure it, and they would refuse to be hol{l
en by their five years guarantee if any wa
ter at all were put upon the pavement
except under their supervision. In order
to protect the city’s interest the director
has vetoed street sprinkling, and now the
citizens are wondering whether the next
move will be to take the pavement in when
it rains. Remembering the chronic Phil
adelphia custom of deluging sidewalks
with water, it is easy to sec that a street
pavement which won't wash is not likely
to prove popular there. Whether the ap
plication of water would cause the asphalt
to dissolve, melt or shrivel up in disgust
at the quantity of the water which Phila
delphia dispenses to its citizens, does not
appear as yet; but if the pavement is real
ly so “hydrophobic” as is claimed, we sug
’gest that it be prelected without delay by
a coat of waterproof paint.”
The class of pavement laid on Fourth
street is also capable of maintaining any
load that may be drawn over it. and with-,
out the city being compelled to pass an or
dinance prohibiting heavy vehicles from
passing over its streets without being
equipped with wide tires, as the following
ordinance, which was passed in Jersey
City last month, suggests:
“The street and water board of Jersey
City has introduced four important ordi
nances. One to protect the asphalt pave
ment of the Mercer street, driveway from
being destroyed by heavy vehicles.
“It regulates the sizes of the tires of the
wagons driven over the drive. A wagon
which, with load, weighs 2,000 pounds,
must have tires at least three inches wide,
and for each additional I,ooo'pounds an
inch must be added, until 10.000 pounds
is reached, the miaximum weight, -with
fires eleven inches wide. This will prac
tically exclude “heavy wagons from the
drive.”
following will doubtless be of in
terest to the property owners in this city.
John Whyte, master of public works of
public works of Glasgow, Scotland, writes
to Commissioner Moreland, of Detroit,
Mich.:
“The most durable and sanitary pave
ment is undoubtedly granite. Pitch pine
laid in blocks six inches deep we have
found to last from six to seven years. The
granite pavement lasts on heavy traffic
streets thirty years. Then it only requires
to be lifted and Belaid, when it is good for
another thirty years, after which the
stones are ready to be broken up.”
Hon. Herman Myers, mayor of Savan
nah, in his annual report for 1896, writes
as follows:
“Asphalt, while a pretty pavement, and,
as claimed by some, the most sanitary of
all pavements, unless kept absolutely
clean, speedily becomes the most unsani
tary -and injurious to the public’s health,
cs well as offensive to the eyes. It accord
ingly requires more attention than any
other class cf pavements. The method of
cleaning also makes it especially expen
sive. The work is done by hand scrapers,
the dirt being collected by carts as depos
ited in piles by the scrapers. As far as I
have been able to ascertain, the method in
use here will compare favorably, both as
regards expense and results, with that of
any other city. It has been claimed that it
would cost equally as much to keep other
classes of pavement clean as asphalt pave
ments are kept, with the same amount of
traffic upon them. Experience does not
bear this out. On granite pavements the
horse sweeper can be used to great ad
vantage. Such pavements ard* smooth
enough to do the work well, and the pre
liminary watering does no injury. Asphalt
streets, though, cannot be swept, as gran
ite and brick pavements are. The wetting
required to prevent dust is injurious to
the asphalt, as is evidenced by the fact
that the asphalt'pavements in this city
wear cut first in the gutters, where there
is little or no traffic. Whatever, the ex
pense, though, asphalt pavements must be
cleaned continuously.”
During the year 1596 the cost of repairs
for asphalt streets in the city of Savannah
was $4,366.84, while the repair/ of the
streets paved with granite only reached a
total cost of $3.50 during the same time.

I have some particularly fine offers to
make just now, some properties that can
be had very much under their real value,
and that are bound to be higher in a short
time. Here is one: A whole block, 210 by

Go look at it and come to me, I will make
the price right.
