Col. Hill on Cotton.

Col. Napoleon Hill, well-known
cotton broker and commission merchant
of Memphis, Tenn, while in St. Louis
recently said to Globe-Democrat re-
porter:
"Of course the acreage viii he greatly re-
duced," he said. II am willing to make that
prediction But how great the reduction will
be no one can say Parties entering our Office
in Memphis answer our inquiries very differ
emily. A well posted gentleman from one To-
cality will say that the acreage will be fully as
great as it ever was, while another gentleman
from different locality will feel sure hat the
acreage will be cut down fully one 1ah. "A
month from now we can tell with comparative
certainty, as most of it will then be planted
but at present do not feel willing tu hazard
an opinion. The coming years deer ease in
acreage may be 10 per cent, or it may be two
or three times that amount"
Yes !" he added to question, there is
strong feeling OF hope through the south that
there will be less cotton and more home sup
plies raised, but many who are in debt viii
raise cotton, as in their opinion the easiest way
to pay out, and some even go far as to say
it takes twice as much cotton now to support
as 1t once did, and so we will raise twice as
much These last are few and their acreage
not large, however, and so the reports hereto
fore published by the Globe Democrat fairly
represent the situation through the south "a 10
the probable acreage and the certainty of re-
duction."
What do you think Of the condition Of tie
market:" was asked.
"Of course I am pleased to note the improve
ment was the reply land there is a much
better feeling than is even apparent
What is the cause of this changed condi-
tion?n
1T is at least twofold. In the first place, tie
slight stringency of affairs, and consequent dis
couragement. resulted in a feeling of temporary
depression, which ran prices down lower than
there was any reason for. AS a result, certain
rebound was not only natural, but unavoidable.
In the second place, there was mistaken idea
as to the past years crop. II has been every
where admitted to be about 9.2J0C00, whereas,
at present, it appears s,2500O0 will be nearer
the figure, and possibly 100000 may cover the
amount. The feeling that follows this evidences
of previous overestimate is beginning to show
itself in the markets
No he concluded though | would like to
give a closer estimate on the future acreage OF
cotton, am not willing to make guess on
matter regarding which there Is so much pres
ent uncertainty. The acreage viii be decidedly
reduced, but how much no one can tell just
now"

away, broke into Capt. Nash's
store, where she remained all day
Sunday, with the intention of max
ing her escape at night with big
lot of goods, that she selected with
great care and tied up in two bun
dies during the day. Fortunately
she was discovered about sun down,
and her scheme failed. She i'm
plicated a negro boy by the name

Was that Surplus a NTH?

Step up, Brother o. B. Steele,
and acknowledge the corn. Let us
have an honest, frank confession;
that is good for the soul, your par
son tells you, and the time has come
to get at the facts. The campaign
is over now, and it will be nearly
four years before another one is on
us. The truth must come out if it
has to be helped along with cork
screw. Step up and tell us about
about that surplus in the State
treasury. Is there not q great big
fat cash balance there that nobody
has any claims on-in other words,
is there not a large surplus in the
treasury of the State? Did not
Governor Nichols administration
go out of Office with over half a
million dollars surplus as the net
result of the financial operations
Of the State during the past four
years?
We all know that you are man
of business; that you are fully up
on the uses and value of money,
and know how it can be utilized in
banking. We all know that you
are one of the leading spirits in the
Bank of Baton Rouge, and when
you counseled its officers to bid
$4,000 per annum bonus for the
fiscal agency, besides agreeing to
pay the July coupons without any
interest for the advance, you knew
they were going to get something
for their money. That was legiti-
mate business, and you did RICH,
in giving that advice, but does il
not prove that the surplus is there
and that it is a good fat one that
will be worth a good deal to the
banker who has to take care of it.
