The bears seem to have taeoine possessed

“It la to be noted.” said one careful ob
server, “that no small cron estimate has vet
come out of Texas, and Texas and the ter
ritories are worth nil the fertiliser stntes

Month Carolina seem to fall to realise that
the future of cotton lies In the great South

A special to The New York Commercial
from Montgomery. Ala., aars: “Hevernl

believes that the demand for cotton raised
In the Houthern states Is going to Increase
far more rapidly from now on than It has
In the past. In his opltilou. the demand
this year will consume not less than 12,-
250,000 bales, and la going to get larger

We get our cotton from the Houthern atates
at a freight charge no larger than that
paid by the New England iniiis. and, though
we hare a tariff to pay. our margin of
profit la folly equal to that of the iuiHs
on this side, probably larger.

New Orleans, Nov. 7.—Liverpool opt lorn

over yesterday, while spot sales were In
creased to 10,000 bales .1 points lower. Il
appears that the heavy declines that qe
curved yesterday abroad was due to the
liquidation of ginning* and that today
further decllue was attributed to a
