THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
Hubbard, Price & Co.'S View of the
Market

auO DhrOt Prlco % COS View or the
Market.
Hubbard, Price g. Co. have the following
OF interest to say upon cotton in their weekly
circular: "Despite the unparalleled move
ment OF the crop, the temper OF the markets
has underground decided change, and more
hopeful feeling regarding the future course
OF prices is noticeable, even at an advance
of rs points from the low prices OF last
Monday. This change In sentiment can be
traced to a growing belief in the advices re-
ceived from the south as to the rapidly
with which the crop has been forced to
market this season, and to the demand from
Manchester to supply her present and
future requirements at the present low
prices. These low prices are attracting at
tention from many persons not directly
connected with the cotton trade, who, be-
lieving the present basis Of values to be
below the cost of production, are daily in
vesting in cotton here and in Europe. thus
relieving the pressure Of the distressed cot
ton which was last week thrown upon the
market. From the Atlantic slope the re-
ports of diminished yield are
reiterated: and 1t is not now
considered at all improbable
that the country east of the Mississippi will
produce 100000 bales Of cotton less than
last year to the states west OF the river
must we, therefore. look for the increased
yield, il the large crop estimates now cur
Ielt are TO be borne out Picking in the
Atlantic states is practically completed, and
we are apt, at any moment, to witness a
sharp falling off in receipts in these states,
unless, indeed, all the information coming
to our notice is wrong. Usually, a short
picking season indicates short crop,
though it is asserted the fine
weather this season has enabled
the planters to gather the
crop with greater rapidlty than ever before,
and that it was, therefore, possible for
them to market a comparatively large crop
in short period Of time. With the excep-
ton of MIR. Neilps, current crop estimates
are about I, 800, 900 bales. and as the move
ment of the crop is so far some 400, 900 bales
in excess Of last season. the movement will
have TO fall OFF from now to Sept. ], 1,209,-
600 bales as compared with the movement
Of last year. What would be the effect of
such comparative decrease upon pricesg'

In Eastnor castle, on the Hercfordshire

years ago. and where now a strong branch

The family had been long owners in County

century. and it numbers many illustrious
men and women in its line of succession.
Born thus to an inheritance OF culture, re-
fnement and wealth. married in 1872 to
Lord Somerset, second son Of the Duke of
BeaufoFd, receiving the crown of mother
hood'in 1874, by the birth of her only child,
Lady Henry Somerset seemed to have all
that the world can give. Her life
was passed In the gayest of
EDgland's most aristocratic society,
and with 1t she seemed content until
1885. In that year she turned her back
upon London gayety, and since then has
been devoted to the cause of temperance.
In the little village of Ledburg, at her
castle gates, she signed the pledge with
forty of her tenants. She had large posses
sions in the east Of London as we'll as 10 the
beautiful hills of Kent. Her tenants in the
city numbered 100000. Subsequently Lady

The Visit of the Guytonians Than ks
giving Day.
Owing to the confusion caused by the
killing of Mr.. Rice of the Chatham Rifle
Club Thanksgiving day it was impossible
to get any official scores Of the turkey shoot.
They were either misplaced or lost.
The Pooler Rife Club met its Guyton
guests, DIR. Long, Angus Cubbedge and
Clinton Gould, representing the Guyton
Minute Men, at o'clock a. M, and immedi-
ately commenced its turkey shoot. The
programme was discontinued as soon as the
news Of Mr.. Rice's death was announced
and everybody left the range and
marched up to partake of a dinner
which had been prepared by the lady
friends of the club After everybody had
been placed at the table short speeches were
made by the minute men, who spoke in a
very complimentary manner of Pooler's
hospitality and classed it next TO Savannah.
Honorary Member Thomas S. Morgan, Jr..
OF Savannah was to respond for the Pooler
Rifle Club. but he was not present.
The refreshment committee returned
thanks to the ladies who assisted in prepar-
ing the dinner and those who managed the
table at the range. 1t would not do to
mentlon any names, as all wed In their
work. The Guyton men remained in
Pooler until night and returned home
on the shoofly. According to current gos-
zip the Guytonisns are skilled shots, and the
prospects are for a big contest Christmas
day.

THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

st. Andrews Society. which celebrates
its 14lst anniversary tomorrow night, was
organized in 1850, only few years after
the founding of the city itself. 1t includes
in its membership some of the Oldest fami-
lies in the city and state. Except the ref
erences in the gospel, there is very little
information in existence regarding the life
and travels OF st. Andrew, which will
stand the test Of critical inquiry. The
name Andrew is OF Greek origin,
and has been interpreted as meaning a
brave man. In this respect the name COM
mended itself for adoption as that of the
patron saint of a brave people like the
Scotch. st. Andrew was born in Beth
saida. and came of a family of fishers. 1t
is only a matter Of conjecture that he was
born about B. @. 10. He ranked as the first
worker as well as the first called among the
disciples. aud this fact has won for
him the title of crock before the
rock" Andrew brought his brother Peter to
the Messiah. From the time he was called
to be an apostle he remained near his Mas
ter until the end. The foremost character
istic of St. Andrew was his charity and
loyalty. These two features characterize
the sons OF st. Andrew in the present day,
and no countrymen or countrywomen con-
nected with the kindly organizations OF st.
Andrews societies no matter how poor, is
permitted to sleep after death in the potter's
field. After the cruciflction st. An
drew is supposed to have visited Europe
and even Scotland. The influence which
his memory gained upon Scotland was
never lost, and has been felt in many ways.
He represents the patriotism Of the Scotch
men at home and serves as bond Of union
abroad. Wherever few Scots or their
descendants can be gathered together they
are generally organized under the name of
a st. Andrews society. and Of these asso-
Citations national sentiment and charity are
the usual features.
