CHIHAISOUITTINGTHE COTTON MARKET Great Slump in the Demand for the SOUTH’S Staple Shown by De cent Consular Reports. Austin Talks of the Reduction. By Jos: Ohl. Washington, December 11.—(Special.)— What is the matter with the Chinese market for cotton goods? Why has there been such a marked falling off in the exports of cotton goods from the United States to China as Is shown by the figures of F 903 as compared with those of 1902? Are other countries un derselling us In the Chinese market or is the slump due to a dimlnuation in China's ability to purchase? These and similar questions have been so often asked Secretary Cortelyou by exporters and cotton mill men. particu . >rly from the. southern states, that he as. hat; Chief Statistician Austin pre are a brief summary of the situation. The figures of the department of com merce and labor show that in the ten i:- >ntb. < titling with October, 1903, the nine of all exports from the United Mates to China was $13,325,818 against 20,090.769 in the corresponding months r 1902, and $15,516,529 in the corre n iir.g months of 1901.

The official figures of Chinese imports for the year 1903 thus far received by the bureau of statistics cover only the first three months, port by port. The chief import ing port of China, however, for cotton goods in Shanghai, and the official report from that port show that the total im ports of cotton goods in the first three months of 1903 were 3,98u,746 pieces, against 6,461,962 pieces in the correspond ing months of 1902, and 1./86.141 pieces in the same month of 1901. of these imports, gray snirtings form the largest single item, and they showed a total from the United Kingdom of 1,073,626 pieces, against .c,413,704 pieces In the corresponding months of last year. In the Chinese importations of sheet ings, drifts and jeans, American goods form an important part. Imports of American sheetings into China amounted to 630,947 pieces in the first three months of 1903, against 949.940 pieces in the same months of 1902; American drills amounted to 280.487 pieces, against 357,- 120 pieces in corresponding months of the precede? year, and American jeans. 63.760 pieces, against 36.000 tn the same months of the preceding year. A further examination of the details of these figures shows that the reduction In the Importation of American goods Into China is much less In quantity and In proportion than in those from the United Kingdom. Th.> general reduction tn the Importation of cotton goods Into China is apparently due. In part al least, ff not in whole, to the unusually large imports of this char acter in 1902.

The following treatment is taken from a reply to a .similar inquiry pub lished in issue of October 19: “Give th... hog one ounce of castor oil and one drop of croton oil at a dose. I'ollow this up by giving 8 to 10 grains of iodide of potassium twice a day in the drinking water, or food, for a week. At tlie end of the week, if not better, give 20 to 25 drops of tincture of nux vomica In a little waler twice a day for two or three weeks, if necessary. Rub the back and loins once a. day with compound soap liniment. The troube is sometimes caus ed by a. blow on tin spine causing pres sure on tlie spinal cord.

POSSIBLE SPAVIN OF HORSE. A S. M■■<’.. Baconton, Ga.- I bavi. a high-brcii Kentucky mart . shipped here lor file purpose of raising fine colts. She is about 14 years old and lias brought two colts sin< e 1 have owned her. The first colt Is 14 months old, the second 2 months old. In tin. early spring ot' tills year the mare was plowed in moderation and was satisfactory in every way. On tlie morning of tlie Ist of May she was found lying in her stable unable to rise and showed signs of having struggled tlie greater part of the night. Her right hind leg was cold and almost stiff. She was sensitive to touch about the stifle joint, the muscles of tlie right hand were contracted and she was until for any service whatever. No treai i; i nt was resorted to and in two weeks she had so far recovered that she was put back to plow and proved tiiat tlir.■■■ days' plowing brought a return of tlie condition, and an enlargement on the inner side of ear’ll hock joint rather to the front. Ail Hie summer she would make no effort to rise after lying down until a whip was brought and some "tie to support her effort. The lOtii oi October she brought a fine colt. Since then she liis down and gets up at will and she can trot pretty w. 11, but has not sufflci'nt use of her hind legs to gallop. The mare Is a hearty eater and in good healtii and spirits in every way except this afflic tion. Please name the condition and gl\e treatment. I will surely appreciate it. Answer— Notwithstanding your evident effort to describe the symptoms, yet it is true that it is one of those frequent cases of lameness in which a personal exami nation bv an expert would be necessary to determine just what is the matter, i am inclined to the opinion that she lias what is called “occult’’ spavin.
