WttHhiugton, Nor 28—The annual report of the secretary of agriculture wl * made public yesterday. T. K e secretary says that it is in the highesr degree gratifying to present evidence of the unprecedented pr«»s- p*»'il' which has in recent y« war. «-d the diligence of the farmer and the pfforts of his department yeu- (if u (’.equaled prosperity i been added to the most remarkable aerie* of sitnilur years that has come to 'he farmers of this country. Farm crop-, have never before been harvest ed at H'.ich a high general level of production and value. Corn has reach ed Its highest production over 2,700,- flOi* n < 0 bushels, of a total estimated value of $1,216,000,000. Hay comes second. with a value of $606,000,000.

WORLD’S COTTON CROP THE CONDITIONS THAT NOW FAVOR COTTON GROWERS. OF INTERE8T TO WOMEN. young and handsome woman old rich and decrfplt 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. ALLIED POWERS IN CHARGE. I th NAVAL STORES CRISIS. 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.

The Porte Continues to Aek for Modi fications of Terms, but the Powers are United and They Will Accept Nothing but the Terms Already Of fered the Turk. 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.
