highesr degree gratifying to present

The World is Using 12,000,000 Bales
a Year and There is Activity all
Along the Line.
New Orleans, Nov. 28—The very se
vere losses sustained by Mr. Price
and his fo!lowers recently emphasizes
again some of the phenomlnai Influ
ences at work In behalf of cotton.
Briefly summarized these are: Ex
traordinary activity In cotton milling
industry, Immense demand for cotton
goods, every prospect of a very short
yield for the 1905 crop, and the lately
developed power of the farmer
through concert action.
With the world consuming more
»n 12,000,000 bales of American cot*
ton annually, or 24,000,000 bales in
two years, and with America produc
ing a tittle less than that quantity
in two years, the supply is now in a
fair way of falling below the demand,
thus producing practically famine
conditions.
These facts are well known to the
bull speculator and that harbinger
of prosperity to the grower of cot
ton is therefore spreading his nets
and has already caught many a bear
who had sold cotton which he did not
own.

The Savannah Factor. Hold Over
50,000 Barrel* and Have Not Made
A Sale In Two Week*.
Savannah, Ga. Nov. 28—The naval
atoms situation In tho Savannah
market presents today a condition
unprecedented In tho hlatory of the
trade at this market.
For two weeks not a sale has been
made, the receipts have been pouring
In In record volume, and as a result
factors are now carrying an unsold
stock of slightly over 50,000 barrels,
valued at 2400,000 according to the
basis of values at which last sales
were made. The allied exporters,
the chief buyers of rosin In this mar
ket, made a bid the middle of the
week offering a cut of approximately
24 . a round barrel but ths hold

a sufficient number of handsome and
costly souvenir programs, one of
which will be given to each lady at
tending the evening performance on
Thanksgiving day. This is the first
Thanksgiving attraction ever played
in Valdosta and it la the purpose of
the management to comdemorate the
event ^u. a fitting manner. The sou-

Constantinople, Nov. 28—Detach
ments from the international fleet
were landed at Mltylone Sunday af
ternoon, according to Instructions,
and occupied the customs and postal |
buildings.
The governor protested with much I
vigor, but unavailingly. The fleet will
take no further action until Thurs
day evening, when, if the sultan fails
to utilize the Interim to accede to the
demands of the powers, the fleet will
occupy the island of Tendeos, off the|
coast of Asia Minor.
The porte continues its effort to ob-1
tain a modification of tho terms of
financial control of Macedonia, but
the unanimity of the powers, Includ
ing Germany, as to the necessity of
compelling a full acceptance of the
demands, appears complete, and dip
lomatic circles are satisfied that the
porte before long, will do nothing but
bow to the will of Europe.
