WEEK IN COTTON
New York. —A considerably steadier
tone l>«i developed in the cotton situa
tion during the week now closing. While
sentiment Htlll 1* very much unsettled,
some tinder* are Inclined to be ieve the
market has seen it* maximum estimates
of the crop and the worst phase* of
trade depression.
The amount of cotton ginned to Octo
ber 18th encouraged large crop esti
mate** blit since the publication of the
figures, killing frosts over most of the
l elt have tendered toward more bullish
Ideas of the supply. Increasing export
demand, too, and an Improving financial
situation doubt less help to account fcfr
1 ‘ more cheerful view.
The betterment reported In Southern
markets I* a* much attributed to with
drawal of offering* a* to the actual ex
pansion of buying power. The demand
for last ha f of October commitments,
however, apparently has absorbed “dis
tress'’ cotton, which represents only a
small proportion of the dally ginning
Prospect* that the $135,000,000 loan fund
soon will be available on the basis of 6
cents for middling cotton, or within a
fraction of recent value* in the interior,
t* believed ts» have stiffened the atti
tude of such farmers a* «re not under
the necessity of forcing their cotton on
the Immediate market.
At any rate. offering* have been
smaller during the past few days, and
there have bene advances of ha'f a cent
or more In the p-' * asked by Southern
shipper* Mean die Liverpool has de
duced the liquidating prices of January-
February there to 4.50 d. which at the
difference agreed upon last September,
would equal 7% cent* for December con
tracts in New York, and disputes have
arisen In the undoing of straddles, which
has made no real progress since the end
of September.
This matter is considered of dimin
ished general Importance, however, as
the operation of the proposed syndicate
plan is expected to>.make a reopening
of the market possible without waiting
for the complete liquidation of Inter
national accounts.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
Considerable comment is current
about “fireproof" cotton warehauses
of corrugated iron or wooden stud
ding, floored with concrete. The
character of the construction of a
cotton warehouse has little or noth
ing to do with safeguarding cotton
against fire other than limiting the
quantity subject to one fire, and. of
course, protecting against exposure.
A fireproof warehouse will not “fire
proof” the cotton, whereas sprinklers
will, in any kind of a warehouse.
The cost of insuring against fire for
one month, one hale of 10-cent cotton
In the sort of warehouse would be
.0062 cents —nearly half a cent. The
cost per bale per month In the aver
sprinkled warehouse wild be .0083
cents, still under 1 cent. In the aver
age unsprinkled warehouse the cost
per bale p-r month would be .083 cents
—nearly 10 cents.
Warehouse charges, Including insur
ance, vary considerable. The execu
tive committee of the New Orleans
“Buy-a-Bale” figured warehouse
charges for twelve months as follows:
Storage and handling, first month, 25
cents per bale; for 11 months, at 8
cents, 88 cents per bale; weighing and
labor charges for removal, 8 cents per
hale; insurance for twelve months,
approximately 50 cents per hale; total
charges, $1.71 per bale. A Galveston
warehouseman charges $1 a bale for
the first month, which includes com
mission, storage and Insurance
charges, and afterwards 30 cents per
bale per month for storage and insur
ance; total charges per hale per year,
$4.30. “Ours will be a bonded ware
house," advertises another warehouse
man. "The most of insuring and stor
ing cotton will be 15 cents per bale
per month.” ’Another announcement
reads: "We have standard ware
houses. The carrying charges for each
ROSY VIEW FOR
DEMOCRATS IN
NEXT CONGRESS
Prediction Made That House
Will Have Majority of About
One Hundred, Increased Ma
jority in Senate.
Washington.—An official pre-elec
tion statement, issued jointly Saturday
night by the democratic national and
congressional committees, predicts a
democratic majority of approximately
a hundred in the house of representa
tives and an Increased majority in the
senate as the outcome of next Tues
day's elections. The statement says
in part;
"Reports gathered with particular
care from all parts of the country in
dicate a sweeping democratic victory
Tuesday. The program of progressive
legislation enacted by congress under
the leadership of President Wilson ha*
made a profound impression on the
country.
West of tha Rivar.
“Democratic sentiment is particu
larly strong in that section of the
country west of the Mississippi. This
Is well illustrated in the former re
publican state of Montana, where the
vote for Congressmen Evans and Stout
In the primaries exceeded the com
bined vote of all parties. Galna are
confidently expected In Kansas, Ne
braska, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minne
sota and other Western states.
"In the East our reports are par
ticularly gratifying. In the first New
Jersey district and other districts In
the Eust now represented by repub
licans prospects for democratic suc
cess are exceptionally good. Making
allowance for the fact that quite a
number of democrats in the sixty-third
congress represent strong republican
districts which under normal condi
tions we could not hope to win, it is
difficult to see how the democratic
party will fall to organize the next
house with approximately a hundred
majority.
In the Senate.
"Our majority in the senate will be
increased by tbe election of senator*
in Connecticut, New York. Ohio, Kan
sas nnd Illinois, all of which are repre
sented now bv republicans. Stevens,
in .ipw Hampshire; Johnson. In Soutn
Dakota; Purcell. In North Dakota;
Moyle, in I'tah; Phelan, in California;
Hasting, in Wisconsin, have fin;
chances of success, according to best
reports available. Palmer, In Penn
sylvania. and Connolly, In lowa, ap
pear to be gaining strength rapidly
and our latest reports from these tw >
states are very reassuring.
"The most striking feature of nil
th, reports received is the tremend
ous popularity of President Wilson.”

WEEK IN TRADE
New York.- Pun's review today save:
Important progress ltas been made in
the work of adjusting the machinery of
the money and exchange markets to the
pea world conditions created by the Eu
rnpean conflict and the business out
look l» therefore brighter
Outside of certain Industries. how
ever. In which there Is a demand from
abroad for war supplies, domestic trade
wt I*l await* the quickening Impulee of
commercial enterprise releasing (Yam the
caution which now confines It.
The declining business and revenues ol
the American ral road*, even more thsn
the meaner of the European war. is
now mainly responsible for restriction In
lorn* ln-pta-tant Industrie* hence the
keen Interest exhibited In the proceed
ln*s before the commerce commission
for an advance In rates
Failures this week In the T'nfted
(Mates were 4*4 compared with 1W last
FARMERS, ATTENTION!
| bale of cotton is 25 cents per month
for storage and insurance." A rate
of 15 cents per bale per month for
storage In standard warehouses would
yield a saving of at least $3,00u,000 on
5,000,000 bales of cotton.
But the standard warehouse not
only lowers the fire insurance and
storage rates; it also lowers the
money-lender's rates. Careful lenders
prefer to loan money at a low rate,
say 6 per cent, on good risks. Bend
ers, not so particular, who hazard
loans on cotton In substadard ware
houses may ask 8 per cent. There
fore, standard warehouses would yield
a further saving of possibly $5,000,000.
Econimists estimate tliat there is
an annual waste In handling the cot
ton crop of approximately $100,000,000.
It would not be extreme to say 5 per
cent of this is due to physical damage
resulting from improper storage.
Thus $5,000,000 more is added to the
economic waste of the holding without
proper storage facilities.
The total cost of holding 5,000,000
bales of cotton without adequate and
proper storage facilities will be at
least $17,500,000, which would almost
pay 6 per cent interest on $300,000,000,
a sum almost, if not quite, build
enough sprinkled cotton warehouses to
house 5,000,000 bales of cotton.
Assuming that $17,500,000 would
give sprinkled cover to 5,000,000 bales
of cotton and that the combined ware
house and insurance charges were 15
cents per bale per month, that invest
ment would yield 8 per cent after de
ducting the fixed charges for storage,
Insurance and Interest.
Is It not clear that all of the cotton
states should have a well-organized
system of standard sprinkled cotton
warehouses?
LONDON'S LORD
MAYOR SEC’Y
Sir William Soulsoy Has Been
Re-Appointed for the Fortieth
Time—Lord Mayors Come
Once a Year.
London.—Lord Mayors of London
come and go year by year, but Sir
William Soulsoy, who has just been
appointed for the fortieth time Lord
Mayor’s private secretary, seems to
go on for years. He has a unique
record. Re-appointed each year by
successive Chief Magistrates, he
knows more about the quaint and an
cient ceremonial of the city and the
complicated machinery of London's
civic hospitality than any other man.
He has had to superintend the organ
ization of official welcomes to most
of Europe's crowned heads, the rais
ing of many huge Mansion House
funds and all the details involved In
the running of the high office of his
many chiefs.
The only European rulers who have
not paid a visit to the city in Sir Wil
liam's time are the Emperor of Aus
tria and the young Cjueen of Holland.
The Kaiser has been twice and more
than one visit was paid by the late
King of Greece. Three French pres
idents and two former presidents of
the United States, General Grant and
Colonel Roosevelt, have also been
guests of the city, as well as many
American ministers and ambassadors
Reticent as to his own career. Sir
William can sometimes, though rarely,
he Induced to talk about Ills experi
ences of men and affairs. For in
stance, lie narrates an amusing inci
dent which occurred when in 1871 ha
was one of the secretaries of the Man
sion House fund for the relief of suf
ferers in the Franco-Prusslan war.
One afternoon, he says, a well-dressed
man called at the Mansion and asked
for an Interview with the Lord Mayor.
He presented an elaborately engraved
card bearing the name, Le Marquis de
Morancy, Maire de Chateaudun.
Speaking English perfectly, he de
scribed in vivid terms the horrors of
war in his own town and was so
overcome by the plttfulness of his
story that he wept as he told it. So
touched was the Lord Mayor that he
handed his visitor $2,500 for the relief
of the distressed people of Chate-audun
and invited the Marquis to a Mansion
House banquet to be held the same
evening, an invitation the Marqult
gratefully accepted. At the dinner the
Marquis, probably aided by the hos
pitable flow of wine, suddenly rose
and in a long, eloquent and moving
speech thanked the Lord Mayor for
his generosity and touchingly re-told
the story of the sufferings of the peo
ple of Chateaudun. The speech was
reported at length In the morning pa
pers and the Lord Mayor then found
that he had given the $2,000 to one
of the cleverest swindlers In Europe.
