But it is of the New Orleans Cotton

doing for the trade If wJiRt he wishes
to writs abaut.
Quoting from the thirty-second an
nual report: "At no time since its in
auguration in February of 1871 has the
institution been as prosperous, nor its
future outlook brighter and the
J ber* have every reason to feel* a Just
pride.” According to the treasurer s
report there has ^passed through ,di!s
hands more than $162,000, while in the
superintendent's office the movement
both ways on account of margins has
>een about $1,000,000.
New Orleans continues to gain In
reputation us n legitimate center for

our wharves we have handled 21.7-10
per cent.'of the total cotton cfop. New
Orleans still heads the list as the larg

port by 226,1*6 bales." Signed, 8. P,
Wslmsly, president; Henry O. Hester,
secretary. t
From the report of committee on su«
per vision, 8 Weis, ^chairman:
■’Altogether, the season haa been
much better for handling cotton nnd,
although In round figures 221,000 bales
more were supervised in presses and at
railroad depots, the damaged coitrn
picked in the scales waa 209,000. pounds

per cent.
In view of the recent discussion as
lo the amount of repacks made from
the crop it Is interesting and valuable
note that th# total amount of loos
ide- from the cotton supervised In
presses and railroad depots at this port
averaged only one and one-tenth of
pound per bale which. If applied to the
re cotton crop of 10.6S0.M0 bales,
would make 11,741.748 pounds, equat
21,746 baits of 4S0 pounds net weight.

FAR Mints INSTIT1TE.
MILLKIXJEVILLE. May $1.—The
farmers' Institute met In this city on
Friday, attracting a large number of
farmers from all the surrounding coun
ties. The general heavy rain* of
Thursday made It so they could leave
their farm* without loelng any time,
and all were very mu* h benefited by
the'splendid speeches, which they lis
tened to.
Mr. Dudley Hughes trletj to Impress*
upon the farmers the necessity of or
ganisation and spoke In favor of coun
ty fair* and showed the great profit to
be derived from each county making
an exhibit at the State Fair.
Hon. Harvte Jordan spoke in the af
ternoon on "Commercial Fertilisers or,
the Farmers' Greatest Burden." He
emphasised the fact that farmers* to
make a success should make a study
of their soli and the different fertilis
ers for each crop, nnd use only the best
as chehp priced fertiliser wd# the most
expensive kind* In the end. ,
Messrs. E. A. Koss of MarshaUvill*
and J. L. Kimbrough of State Experi
ment Station were tfelaytd on account
of a wreck on the Gjnrgla railroad,
and did not reach the city until two
o’clock. They both made good speeches
which were closely listened to by a
large crowd nnd the benefit derived
f r >m the Institute will be shown In the

'•J.est year th? kales received at this
port averaged In weight 510 82-100
pounds gross, nnd while the loose as
stated, including damaged cotton re
ceived In that state, amounted to 11-10
pounds per bale, the loose made from
actual sampling and trimming of sam
ples by both buyers and seller* was
barely 78-100 of n pound—not quite
12V& ounces per bale, not a fraction
more than absolutely necessary to ex
hibit the contents of the bales. In oth
er words, to obtain the two sets of
samples (buyers and sellers, Including
necessary trimming) required nbout
nnd one-half one-thousandths of
each package. We doubt w-hether a
similar showing can be made Ip any
other port of the world. In fact, the
actual samples (exclusive pf necessary
trimmings) did not amount to quite 2H
urn-es each.
"Nothing could demonstrate more
conclusively the valus of our system of
supervision and inspection. Trained
men with years of experience do the
necessary work, nnd In this respect we
feel safe In asserting that nowhere
throughout the world is there a system
so thoroughly modem and up-to-date
as the New Orleans method of caring
for cotton. The supervision nnd in
spection departments have continued
to check ull cotton condemned by the
Maritime Exchange for Imperfect com
pressing. The chief supervisor reports
the total re-coinpressci this year 36,-
114 bales ngalnst 28.281 last season, an
increase of 7.7S3."
The writer commends that report to
tho trade, for *to the best of his belief
it Is true and speaks volumes in favor
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
It was worth tsn years of peaceful
life to see Brown’* partner climb up In
the atr by resting one hand on the rail
ing around the ring and bid for 50/W0
bales of July or any part of them nt
