COTTON HAND.
LING.

New Orleans Is complaining Of the
loss Of her cotton trade. It is a fact
that New Orleans handles less cotton
now than before the crop reached Eve
million bales annually, and now seven
million bales Is considered an average
crop. The crop this season would
have been more than seven million
bales, but for the late spell Of contin-
ued bad weather, which destroyed at
least a fifth of the crop. Notwith'
standing the increase of production, the
boosted metropolis of the staple is
handling less cotton now than a few
years ago. The city has increased ia
cilities for getting cotton in several
new railroads. but somehow the trade
is slipping away from her.
This is so observable and is so iDju-
rious, that a forcible writer in the
New Orleans States suggests that all
the congresses be located on the river
at one place, and that a grand union
depot be located at the same point.
The idea is to confne the cotton bus
mess to one point and let that be the
most convenient locality, so as to les
sen the expenses Of handling.
If the writer's suggestion should be
adopted a common cotton centre on
The river bank would be convenient
for the ships. the steamboats,, and
could be made equally as convenient
for the railroads. In that way the eX-
pense could be cut down very mate
rally. At present the cotton is re-
ceived at the steamboat landing or
railroad depot, hauled to some distant
compress and then hauled to the ship
landing. In that journey it is taxed
right and left, and it is high time for
the New Orleans factors, who ought
to; be the jealous guardians
Of their patrons interests, to take into
serious consideration the most eco
nomical handling of the staple in New
Orleans. In all the great grain cities
of the West, there are the facilities for
the cheapest storage and handling Of
grain. New Orleans must follow
their example, or her cotton trade will
continue to dwindle.
What is true Of New Orleans is true
of other cities dependent on the cotton
trade. Congresses and increased rail
road facilities make it possible
for any city in the South
to build up her cotton trade, if fair
dealing and low handling charges are
guaranteed. The exactions on cotton
in New Orleans are too numerous and
too high, and Vicksburg should profit
by the lesson New Orleans is now
receiving in the gradual decline of her
trade.

He was waited'upon by a committee Of

Railroads in the South.

Philadelphia Record.
In no respect is witnessed a more
gratifying proof of the development
Of the New South than in its rapidity
increasing railroad mileage. AS is
shown by Poor's Manuel, the total
number of miles of railroad constructed
in the United States last year amounted
to 1897, which was a considerable de-
cline from 1882 with its l1,602 miles,
and even from 1888 with its $500 mills
TO this total the South contributed
1,4e6 miles, or more than one-third.
North Carolina, which in 1888 made
only 36 miles Of new railroad, built
TIA miles last year. But the greatest
relative progress has been made in the
long neglected State Of Florida, which
last year constructed 1872 miles of rail-
road, and 100 miles in the last four
years. With the exceptions of
Texas and Arkansas, all the Southern
States have made noteworthy pro.
gress in railroad construction
In Texas there has been a material re-
action from the feverish activity of
1881 and 1882, when 1882 miles Of
railroad were constructed In its terri
tory. Last year the number of miles
of new railroad constructed in Texas
was only lib. In Arkansas the same
reaction is visible though in less de-
gree, the mileage Of new railroad in
that State declining from 245 in 1888
to SO miles in 1884.
