tween East India cotton generally and Amerl-
can is about as large as was ever known, but
the disparity is far greater in the lower than
the better kinds, so that the circular quota
tlons do not fairly represent the difference;
while American is Sd to I'D per 10 higher than
last year, there are some xmas OF East lndia
cotton, especially Bengals, which are only I'D
to Id per ID higher, and the remarkable fact
is, that there is hardly sign of these low
growths attracting the attention OF consumers.
This state of things makes the problem of
supply Very perpirxing; If all our supplies that
can be labelled coil on could be made availa-
BILE there Is nearly enough; but If 100000 or
400, 900 bales of low East lndia cotton are to
lie in the various entrepols OF Europe unsala-
BILE till the end 0f tba year there will be exces.
sIye scarcity-almost famine-ot all The kinds.
We conclude, however, that In one shape or
other the various kinds OF low cotton will
gradually be pushed into consumption, though
It NAV be that still greater disparity OF price
will take place before this is effected; but
when the change is once fairly brought about,
we think those low kinds will improve In
value. though this may not be Till late period
of the year.
Should no accident happen to the crop there
will doubtless be deep underlying feeling of
caution during the autumn among all engaged
In the cotton trade, for the recollection OF the
monster crop of l870-l Is still vivid, an6 IL will
be felt that q range Of prices from lid to I'D
will be abnormal and entirely owing to the
spinners of Europe being .ln corner" This
NAV not influence prices much on the spot,
but It will keep down The price of distant ship
ments, and 80 operate as q check on Man
chester. Our market Is likely to be swayed
alternately by two opposing Influences s-the
exceeding shortness of American supply till
November and the certainty Of serious
fall thereafter II all goes well with the
crop, and this view will also affect oper-
atlons in Surats, for it will pc argued
that if the demand is not fairly thrown
upon them Till the late autumn months lheir
price should be regulated by the next Ameri.
can crop rather than the present one. 1t Is OF
Immense importance 10 the interests OF trade
that the next crop should be large one. 1t
ls obvious that four millions of bales are now
required to give an adequate supply for the
enlarged consumption OF the world, and any.
thing much short Of this will be occasion Of
anxiety 10 the manufacturing interest. We
are sorry to notice that the weekly receipts in
Bombay continue extremely small. and only
about halt as large as ast year. and ills now
apparent that the crop has been very poor
one, and that the entire shipments Of the year
will fall considerable below last one, even
though they still show 81, 900 bales excess. We
expect by the Ist July this excess will be
turned Into deficit At Calcutta very little
cotton is now shipping, and apparently the Wis.,
BILE supply OF East India has seen its maxi
mum, and must now gradually decline.

PRICES OF LOW MIppLIHG.

The greater part Of the foregoing decline
was realized on Tuesday, when brisk de-
mand for futures sprung up, apparently from
parties who had been free sellers last week,
followed on Wednesday by small and partial
advance; but their wants having been sup
piled, there was relapse on Thursday, with
very little doing for either spot or future.
Yesterday, (Frlday) there was frmer feeling
and partial advance from Thursdays prices,
but no indication of any Important demand,
aud 1t seems probable that We are to have, for
considerable period, what is termed "a
brokers' Market" subject to frequent and
slight fluctuations In price, without any taDgi-
BILE reason therefor.

Acreage ana Yield.
NEW YORK, June IL.
The cotton acreage for the present year is
eight and half million acres, or about the
same as last year. 1t is estimated that under
the most favorable circumstances the crop can
not exceed that of last year. The crop at
present is in good condition, but backward,
and likely to mature later, except in Texas.
Review OF the New York Cotton Market
for the Past Week.
From the New York Bulletin, June 1911
The market for cotton the past week has
been characterized by sharp decline, though
1t has not entirely lost Its speculative features
All growths, uplands and Cuffs, have contin-
ued 10 be quoted at the same prices for corres-
ponding grades.
The reaction in prices has been due to
variety of causes. The accounts from the
growing crop have been almost uniformly
favorable, and large estimates begin to be cur
rent respecting lis probable yield. Foreign
adviceS have been unfavorable to holders;
Liverpool, already below the parity of this
market, has slightly declined. There has been
concentration OF stocks at this market upon
which holders have been anxious to realize,
and when prices took downward turn, there
was hurry to sell before any further decline
was established, and thus the end which was
dreaded was most effectively promoted. But
the most active influence which has operated
to depress prices has been the impression that
parties having out contracts for the summer
months had either covered or settled them;
that, In fact, the ''corner" was broken, and
that no artificial demand could be relied upon
to sustain values, much less force further ad-
vance.
The decline from the highest point ls snoWn

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

Punch pictures parent complaining to
pedagogue. 81 see we've put my son into
grammar and Biography. Now as neith-
er mean him to be minister or sea Cap
tain, it's @ no use. Give him plain bus
mess eddication J" This practical minded
gentleamn Is only an extreme member of
party which numbers many respectable
supporters. Half the talk of the day
about educational reform rests ON simi-
lar idea. The liberal education of the
past, whatever its defects--and they are
serious, tried by the standard of neces-
sites had this great merit, that it aimed
to be truly liberal. Its purpose was TO
enlarge and elevate man, to give hun
something better than ability to make
money. To do this, it would familiarixe
him with other civilizations than thoss In
which he lived; would strengthen ths, no
BILE faculty that grasps pure abstractions
would open to him, in short, a world or
knowledge and enjoyment wholly beyond
the visible present in which lies bis bread
and butter. But in this age there il ten
dency to make the whole of education o
mere preliminary training for success In
the professional or business pursuits of
after life. Against this, we hold that
wherever it is possible, the first eighteen
or twenty years of life should be devoted
to developing and enriching mans ma
ture in its broadest range. After-lifa will
press hard toward making him q mere
minister or sea Captain or merchant, AZ
the case may be. 1t is the proper work
of liberal education to secure that, over
and above the capacity for his special yo-
cation, he shall be man. So we plead
that the boy shallle Geography, though
he is not to be a sea Captain and not only
grammar, but rhetoric, logic, and the lans
guages. though he is not to be minister.
