Singing TO tho Herd.

Some cowboys and cattlemen

only sing on watch to keep
themselves awake; others say
they sing, talk loud, or make a
noise just to let the cattle know
they are approaching, so as not
to brighten and stampede them,
but the greater number hold, as
myself had read and been lead
to believe, that the sound ofthe
human voics, singing. talking or
calling out cheerfully, quiets

ever it may be, they all sing and
talk or whistle 10 them, and

season, the greatest diversity of
opinion exists us TO the prob la
ble size of the cotton crop. Or
coarse, no Que loGFs for a nine
million bale yield, such rs was
experienced two years ago, aud
again a yield rs su all as that of
last year IS not expected The
crop will, therefore, be between
these Two extremes. bat the diff
ference between 5000. 900 and
1000, COO bales is 80 great as to
leave a wide margin for est
mates.
OF course, on the size OF the
crop will depend very largely
the probable our Of prices
If we take the Official informa
ton furnished by the Govern
ment as the safest guide, We
would have to expect rather a
small than a large crop Thus
the acreage estimate showed
but a small increase over last
year, while the monthly percent
ages of condition have been the
worst in years. The reports
from Texas have for some time
been discouraging /; but, on the
other hand, the reports from
some of the States east of the
Mississippi River are quite 6at-
tering.
Until within the past few days.
the financial troubles have told
seriously against cotton. 1t was
feared that the money troubles
would caase forced selling ty
the South, anti the consumptive
capacity was restricted by the
stoppage Of SO large a number
of New England mills, owing to
the money pressure. Foreign
buyers have held off in the hope
of buying cheaper. because of
the financial pressure In this
country.
During the past few days
there has been a decided i'm
provement in the outlook, how
ever. In the first place, it has
not been found so difficult to
secure money to move the crop
as has Been expected. Again,
the prospect for the repeal of
the Sherman law and a prompt
return of confidence are now
considered excellent, which
means a probable starting up of
New England factories at no
distant date.
All accounts appear to agree
in declaring that the foreign
consump,ive demand for cotton
cloths has greatly increased,
and that Manchester is doing a
good business, with many Of the
mills sold ahead for some time.
Should, therefore. the improve
ment in financial affairs prove
permanent, there is every rea
son to expect that the price OF
cotton will continue 10 improve.
II must be bered, more
over, that the present crop has
been more economically grown
than any previous one, hence
anything like a fair price would
result very profta5Iy for the
