AMERICAS. OA., JULY 27. 1900.
That tlie Japs seem to be corking
good fighters is a safe venture on the
Chinese situation.
.It is too bad that Dewey’s name is
still dragged into polities. Pettigrew
should not be so hearties.
About this time the world is dispos
ed to look upon the missionary busi
ness as an expensive luxury.
That the forthcoming cotton crop
will demand a good price, the highest
in years, is generally conceded. The
Houston Post, reviewing the situation,
states that the supply of old cotton in
the United States today is 1230,000
bales. The amount visible in all parts
of the world is only t.OOS.OOO hales
American, or a million bales
less than were available fur consump
tion at this time last year.
The million bales now on hand are
i probably sutllcieut for four weeks' coil-
sumption. In order for the supply to
last until the new crop begins to move
it will lie absolutely necessary for
| many mills to shut down or curtail
their consumption.
Mouths ago The Post gave the facts
and figures to show that the world
would he eoufronted with something
akin to a cotton famine this summer.
Prices have been advanced to 10 cents
a pound on account of the great scarcity
of the staple, spinners are using^ every
bale of their reserves, and the whole
world is now looking forward to the
next crop.
The greatest anxiety is manifested
as to the ou’look, and news of
Removal Sale.
'T'HIS being the first week of our removal sale, we will make the occasion
* extraordinary by slashing to cost hundreds of prices on seasonable ar.
(tides of wear, dry-goods, shoes, and furnishings. Summer goods must go rt.
tv r |.| VER sardless of cost. Every gain shall be yours. Whe are determined to closeout
- ,rY-3 1 .AND ^ jail Summer Goods before September ist, and begin the fail campaign in our
KlQPa*' BOWELS new store with newest, brightest, freshest stocks in town, and to accomplish
this we have for this week simply slaughtered prices.
ACTS GENTLY
ON
The Sultan has given $’,500 to the
India famine sufferers, but is not say
ing a word about paying his debts.
The Savannah Press thinks that with
a nation of 500,000,000 people to con
quer there is glory enough for all the
world to share.
Ono of the cauuou captured from the
Spaniards was set up in front of the
city hall in St. Paul aud u'terwards
was found to be loaded.
A fair specimen of what the yellow-
papers sell to tho public ns news is the
many stories of massacre purporting to
ho specials from Shaugbni.
One who knows says that when you
see a boy with curls and a sash it is
n certain sign that tho father is not the
head of his own household.
Manchester Union: ‘‘It ought to be
plain to every thinking man that if im
perialism in America is to be checked
it must be done this year.”
If American trade started to follow
the flag in tho Philippines it is greatly
to be feared that it has become bewil
dered and gone somewhere else.
The Augusta Herald has ascertained
that General Wheeler * will be allowed
to fight nothing more vicious than flic
insect life around the Grca* Lakes.”
shower in Texas is of as much impor
tance in the commercial world today
as is information m regard to the latest
Chinese outbreak.
Never before in the history of the
cotton trade has the world been so de
pendent upon a crop that is now mere
ly at its first stage of development.
Think of the trade being bare of old
cotton on September 1, light stocks of
cotton goods at all milling points, aud
the supply of the raw staple for the
ensuing twelve months still in nature’s
care! Imagine how easily the wither
ing blasts of the sun, unusal down
pours of rain, depredation of insects,
or other ills to which the cotton plant
is so susceptible, could curtail this
prospective supply.
Nothing lees than a United Statts
crop of 11,000,000 bales will be fully
•sufficient Jor the world's, needs the
coming season. To get this Texas
mint produco 3,000,000. aud other
Southern States S,000,1X10 'bales. It is
hardly possible that either group will
furnish such a yield Just at presseut
the indications are for a total crop in
the neighborhood of 10,000,000 bales.
A yield no larger than that ought
lo bring at least U cents n pound, un
less there should be some great disas
ter in commercial aud financial circles
that is uot uow in the range of proba
bilities.
The farmer should bear iu mind this
year that cottou is fenreo the world
over, and that every balo lie produces
will be worth a gooil price. Too much
of it can not come forward in August
and September, but after October 1 it
should be marketed slowly and judi-
cionsly iu order that the buyer way
not have tho advantage of heavy re
ceipts with which to depress p rices.
