the crop was 344.000 bales under this year
by nearly $14,000,000.
"The ea«.se," he says, "will be made
apparent when it is .stated that in the
crop of 1900-01, September averaged 10.3
cents per pound and that from October
to February the monthly averages ranged
from 9.59 in October to 9.21 cents in Feb
ruary or stated in bales, from $52.47 in
September to $17.42 in February. This
year the range front September to Janu
ary (average monthly values) was 7.83
cents to 8.61, thep rice of 9 cents not
being touched until February, when near
ly 8,000,000 bales of the crop had been
marketed, the monthly average sales of
which were from S4O to a little over sl4
per bale.
Another important feature that affect
ed values more or less was the result of
lite unusual ami long continued rains
which reduced the grade of the Texas
crop and of the section tributary to New
Orleans, other sections were more or
less affected from this cause, but not to
so great an extent. Mr. Hester puts
the average reduction of the grade of
the crop at 1-16 to 1-18.
Enormous Total Paid for Cotton.
Further referring to crop values, he
“When it is considered that the
combined values of the past three
crops resulted in payment to farm
ers, common carriers, merchants and
other handlers of over $1,413,000.-
000, their importance as the great
factor in the prosperity of the south
may be fully appreciated.'’
He makes the actual growth for this
season as 10,769.000. and remarks that the
commercial crop more nearly approximat
ed the growth of the season than ever
before.
He puts the total spindles in the south
nt 8.248,275, an increase over last year of
735.293. These include 1,184,245 in new
mills not yet completed. The net gain
in the number of southern mills over
last year has been 21, making the total
now 740. Os these, 650 are tn operation,
39 are idle and 51 are in course of erec
tion.
The consumption has been divided as
follows;
Alabama. 211,804. an increase of 13.753;
Arkansas, 2.915, an increase of 452; Geor
gia, 425,699. an increase of 22,820; Ken
tucky, 21,366, a decrease of 4,340; Louisi
ana, 18,003, a decrease of 14; Mississippi,
37,981, an increase of 4.207: Missouri, 4.723,
an Increase of 394; North Carolina. 551.802,
an Increase of 23,314: South Carolina, 613.-
275, a decrease of 790; Tennessee. 471.506, a
decrease of 1,417; Texas. 23,607, an in
crease of 6,274; Virginia. 42,048, a decrease
of 1.9",5.
Total consumption of the south 2,000.-
I 729 bales, an increase over last year
of 62.758 and over year before last, of
379.798.
'■ The Manufacturing Industry.
I In reference to the general manufac-
I turlng Industry of the country, Mr. lies-
I ter says that, notwithstanding the cpd-
I less discussion of stoppage of ndlls, short
i time, and interference with consumption
I by high prices. American mills have prac
i tlcally used every bale they could obtain
I and the limit to their consumption has
i been due to the scarcity of cotton. This
! applies to the mills as a whole. In the
I large number of establishments north
and south there have been many excep
tions where short time and partial or
tcnip<K.ary suspension hag been due to
■ high prices for raw material without
! corresponding improvement in manufac-
' tured goods. The fact is. he goes on
' to say. that so far as domestic milk: are
■ concerned, there has not been enough
1 cotton Jo go around. The season has and
' has not been satisfactory. Most of the
mills bought or contracted for their sup
i piles early, and as the rise in price for
i raw cotton to 9 cents and above did not
i take place until nearly 75 per cent of
: the crop had been marketed, they were
actually in excellent shape. In thu south
I from JOO.OQO to 150,000 bales more would
have been consumed had conditions dur
ing the latter half of the season been
normal as to supply and price, ami in face
of the talk of manipulation by specu
' la tors, at no time in the history of the
| staple have values been governed so thoi
j oughly and completely by supply and de
mand.
I The feeling from the start, says Mr.
I Hester, was that even with a crop of
: 11,000.000 Qi’ 11.350,000 bales, every bale
I would bo necessary to ill] the wants of
I the consumers and make up for the de
pleted stoglis of cotton the world over
at the close, of last season. Mill own
ers. as well as others, recognized this and
to a large extent profited thereby.
Details of Visible Supply.
The details of the visible supply, ho
says, show with startling clearness the
reasons for most of the short time and
partial stoppages within the past few
months. Os all the millions of bales that
have come and gone since the commence
ment of the season at the close of August
there remained of American cotton -isible
in the United States in round figures but
, 177,000 bales, in Great Britain 178,000 and on
: the continent liil.OOO, u total ol a17,000 with
• a iate crop coming, of which only 1.300
1 bales were marketed in August, against
1 97,tw0 last year.
' All of this year's commercial crop with
J 131,000 additional from last year's re
! serves have gone to feed the world's spin
! 1 ales, or in other- words, has actually be n
I worked up into yarns and fabrics.
' ' Mr. Hester puts the consumption of
1 American cotton by .northern nulls at
’ 2,016.i.«w bales, against 2,050,000 last year
This together with the amount consumed
in the south makes the total emsumption
. of America,n mills 4,017,009 this year,
against 3,988,000 last year, an increase of
' 29,00 bales.

' mills Mr. H'St.-i states, has d'-ereaseu

• weights Os 144.232 this year, against 180,-

; I Cotton Factories in South.
, referring to the Increase of cotton
. manufactured in the south. Mr. Hester
' suvr the phenomenal growth of spindles
1 continues; not only have the spindles in
' the n.iils In operation been Increased by
188,000, but his returns show that there
are actually In course of erection 1.-
’ 184,009 new spln'lles, miking the total
i old, n»w and not complete! in the south
’ ern states, as before stated, 8,248,275.
In commenting on thia he says ft needs

the cotton market and the influence they
exert. Thirteen years ago the north
took 76.7 per cent and the south 23.3 per
cent. Today the percentages are, north
49.58; south 56.42.
Mr. Hester further says, referring spe
cially to cotton consumption in the south,
that, taken as a whole, the year has
not been unsatisfactory, and to the ques
tion "To what extent has your cotton
consumption been affected by the trade
and monetary conditions of the past
year?" quite a number of repli'/ were
“none” and “but very little.” For the
first time the south has passed the two
million mark In actual consumption,
practically tioing up the mills north of
the Mason and Dixon line;’that with the
mills as a whole it was simply a ques
tion of not enough cotton, and that out
of Girt active mills on the list 534 ran
during the entire year, though some of
them to a greater or less extent cur
tailed their consumption.
The facts show, he says, that up to the
close of June the mills had taken some
thing like 200,000 bales more than up to
the same time last year, and it was this
that, enabled them to tide over the pe
riod of absolute scarcity which prevailed
during July and August, whereas last
year they were enabled to supply consid
erable of their wants during these
months. As it was. however, for wan*
of cotton or inability’ to secure it unless
at prices entailing heavy losses, 442,546
spindles wore stopped during the month
of June, 615.683 during July and 1.035.986
during August. These figures refer to
active mills only, not including abotU
175.000 spindles which from various causes
did not run during the cotton year.
South's Capacity Increasing-.
Air. Hester states that with all the new
spindles in course of erection completed,
the south’s capacity at the rate of this
year’s average weight per bale as given
by the southern mills would be nearly
2,368,000 bales.
One of the most interesting features
in Mr. Hester's report is the showing of
the world's consumption of American cot
ton for the past season, which lie puls
at 10,859,000, against 10,657,000 last v- ar and
10,171,000 the year before, a ga.m over
last year of 202.000 over year before last
of 688,000 and a decrease in 1899-1900 of 136,-
000.
He quotes a dispatch from Thomas El
lison, of Idverpool, the distinguished
English cotton statistician, in which that
eminent authority places the surplus mill
stocks in Europe of all kinds of cotton
at the close of August. 1903, at 716,W0
bales, against 557,000 last year. Mr. El
lison approximates that the European
mills now hold 600,000 American, against
470,000 last. year.
Mr. Hester makes the total visi
ble and invisible supply of American
cotton, in the world at the close Os
August 1, 192,011 against 1.371,C00
last year, a decrease of 179,000 and
the total visible and invisible supply
of all kinds of cotton in the world
at *he close of August, 1.985.000
against 2,014,000 last year, a de
crease of 19.000.
He gives the receipts of new cot
ton cf the crop of 1903-04 at de
livery ports as 1.294 bales against
96,531 last year.
One of the most interesting features of
the year's cotton movement was the re
turn of American cotton from abroad for
delivery daring July and August on con
tracts entered into at New Orleans and
New York. Mr. Hester has traced this
cotton and shows that it amounted to
42,376 bales, including 34,751 from Liver
pool; 1,386 ’from Havre; 5,106 from Bre
men; 766 from Genoa, and 367 from Brit
ish North America.
This is tile first' time in the history ot
cotton that any considerable quantity of
American growth has ever returned to
the United States from abroad.

Will Tight, for Cotton Seed.
Jackson, Miss., September 4.--(Special.j
Although the crushing season has not yet
opened, the indications are that there will
be a lively competition among the cotton
oil mills in this section of Mississippi for
the seed supply. Four large mills are lo
cated in Jackson, which is three more
than tlie number of four years ago, and
the seed raised in the trade territory im
mediately adjacent is not large enough
to supply these mil's, which makes it
necessary for their agents to'go to re
mote parts of the state and-their lively
bidding tends to elevate prices and prac
tically dictates the price of cotton seed
throughout the state. Two years .ago an
organization was perfected, the object ol
which was to maintain a uniform price,
but it seems to have passed out of exist
ance. ilthough it was secretly conducted

SOUTH CAROLINA
Sea Cow Seen in May River.
Columbia, S. C., September 3.—(Spe
cial.)—Reliable Information has been re
ceived from Bluffton. Beaufort county,
that a manatee or sea cow was seen in
May river a few days ago by several
fishermen, who were considerably alarm
ed by its appearance. The animal rose
and sank three times and finally disap
peared. It had the appearance of a big
man rising to the waist, wiping the wa
ter from his laee, looking around ami
then sinking. This animal is supposed
to have traveled north from the Florida
everglades and got into "the river by
chance. Several years ago a. similat
amphibious animal was captured by fish
ermen off Fryin™ Pan shoals and taken
to Charleston, where, as a curiosity, it is
said to have brought a good price.
