sanity upon complaint of Mrs. VIM.

27i bales, and in 1892 to n6. 58G

27i bales, and in 1892 to 4l6 53G bales.
 The consumption of cotton by the spinners of the United States dur ing the year amounted to 2,337 300 bales, of which ,613, 971 were taken by northern spinners and 723, 329 by Southern spinners. This is de crease of 133, ,241 bales in Northern and of 10, 372 bales in Southern con sumption. This is the first time since the war that there has failed to be an increase in the consumption of cotton by the Southern mills. The decrease is less in proportion than the decrease in the consumption by Northern mills. With the new mills that have been put up and the new spindles available the Southern mills how have capacity for 825, 000 bales The total of Southern spindles is now estimated at 2, ,503, 876, including new spindle that " Ire idle during the year. While the number of spindles actually em- ployed increased over the previous year, the average consumption by each spindle was less. We have ex- ported out of the crop 5,294, 166 bales, an increase of about soc GOO bales over the exports of the pre- vious year
 The outlook for the new crop as to price is little uncertain. If present indications are bore out the crop will be q large one. But the stocks It ports are smaller than for several years past and American spinners have less cotton on hand than they had last year Most of the mills have been overstocked with finished goods, but the revival of trade since the passage CT the tariff bill has al- ready reduced these stocks a great deal, and the reduction is still going on. It is expected that there will be q sharp increase in the takings by the mills. and for the first seven days of the new season the mills took g, ,863 bales, against 24.645 last year The new crop is moving more freely than fl did a year ago. and the amount that has already come into sight is larger.

THE COTTON FEAR.
(Courier-Jour

The cotton season of 1893. 94 ended August 3l. The crop amounted to 7,549,8l7 bales according to the estimate of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, orr 7,527 ,21l bales accord ing to the reports of the Financial Chronicle. Compared with last season this is an increase Of Sl0, 069 bales. Compared with the season of 1891 92 it is a decrease of 1, ,511, 496 bales. The average commercial value of the crop is estimated in Hester's resume of the year at S37. 30 per bale, against s42 90 for the pre- vious year and S37. 90 for 1891 -92. The total value of the crop was t283, 1l8, 900, against s284, 750, GOO for 1928 and S33s, SIP, GOO for 1891 %.
 The higher average price per pound for cotton in 1892-93 made the smaller crop of that year worth over one and half million dollars more than the crop for the past season. It is certain, however, that this difference was more than offset by the greater value of cotton seed and by the lower cost of producing the crop. It is claimed that the profits realized on the crop were greater than ever before in the his tory of cotton raising, though likely to be exceeded by those of the new season.
 The new crop will start out with the advantage of lower stocks on hand. The cotton now on hand at United States ports amounts to only l83, ,737 bales. On September l, laoa the stocks amounted tq 243, :.

 Come Together.
BOTH LOSE SEVERAL WAR SHIPS.

The Chinese Attempted to Land soi-

 by the Japanase Fleet More of
 Chinas Best on cOrs Reported Wounded.
 Both Claim Victory.
 SHANGHAI, Sept. 20.-Dispatches from Gorea announce the first battle between modern ships of war had taken place on Yalu river, north of the Gulf of Corea, and that both sides claim victory. The Chinese squadron was covering the landing of large force of troops des- tined to reinforce tho Chinese army op- erating against the Japanesein Gorea.
 According to one account, the Chinese succeeded ill landing the troops, but in the engagement which followed with the Japanese fleet, Chin Tuen of the Chinese fleet was sunk and Chao Tang was run ashore. Three Japanese ships are also said to be lost.
 Admiral Ting, commander of the Chinese fleet, and Colonel yon Haune- kin, formerly the aide-de-camp to Vlceroy Lt Hung Chang, are reported to have been killed during the engage ment. Colonel von Haunekin WAS the German officer on board the transport Row Shung whom she was sunk by a Japanese cruiser with loss of 1000 men.
 Another report says the Japanese sue eeedad in preventing the landing of the Chinese troops, and, therefore, the Jap anese claim the victory. It is added, however, that the Chinese lost four war ships and the Japanese fleet was com- pelIed to retreat after having suffered heavy losses in killed and wounded. The Chinese fleet, 1t is said, has returned to Woi Hai Wei.
 The second report says Admiral Ting and Colonel von Haunekin were not killed, but severely wounded

 LONDON, Sept. Dispatches from Shanghai confirm the report of severe battle fought on Yaln and bay between fleets of China and Japan. These dis patches also agree that the Chinese ships were escorting troops bound for Corea. Chinese troops were tho second army corp composed entirely of Hu- anese. The ships of 10th nations, it is admitted, is terribly damaged. The Japanese had advantage of the weather berth and so unanswered that both the Chinese boat and transports had to fight it out

The steel cruiser, Gnao T.ns, was SD damaged that she had to be beached to escape capture. Cruiser Yang Wei was also driven ashore and became a hope less wreck. Tine Chinese claim that three Japanese warships were sunk. Their names are not known.
 Another dispatch from Shanghai says: the Chinese warship sunk was Chi Tuen, although it is believed mistake has been made and the importont Chi nese warship sunk by torpedors is the battleship Chen Tuen, the flagship of the Chinese northern squadron commanded by Admiral Ting.
 Further dispatches from Shanghai dated today announce the entire north ern fleet of China engaged, reinforced by some ships of Foo Chow squadron. The Chin 80 are said to be enhampered by the want of room to maneuyer. The number of Japanese warships engaged is not stated, and as many of their ves- sells are stationed off Ping Yang inlet, at the mouth of L1 Tong river. Their number in the Gulf of Corea is proba- bly small. It is now said the sinking of the big Chinese warships is confirmed, and Chinese warships Chao Tang and Wei was on fire when beached. Ad- vices say it is significant that two or three Chinese transports conveyed by warships of China have not returned, and it is rumored they were all blown up with the loss of all hands on board. From Chinese alvices it is gathered that the loss on both sides will reach several thousand
 A dispatch to Tho Times from Tiea Tsin today says ths hostile feets met Tuesday at the mouth of the Yan river, where the Chinese were disem- barking troops. Continuing, the dis patch says the Japanese fleet com menced the attack at noon and the bat tic lasted until O ,locE. The Chinese | lost four ships: The Chen Yuen, sunk; King Yuen, burned, and Chao Tang and Yang Wei, stranded and partly burned. The Chin Yuen. n Chinese ves- sel, which engaged i'll The fight of July 27, escaped, and is supposed to be safe. The dispatch to The Times also agrees in saying the Japan SC are supposed to have lost three ships, and it adds that many Chimes were killed and wounded, among the latter being Admiral Ting, Colonel von Haunekin and Captain Ty- Ter, the latter being volunteer. The Times correspondent confirms the state ment that the Chinese were successful in landing the troops, which was the object of the ships presence at the mou' of the river.

A good many correspondents report half crops as averages for their counties. A few report full and excellent crops, The crop is generally cut short by the tubers being undeveloped, but the quality of the small potatoes is good, little rot be- ing reported. In some counties the late planted potatoes are still growing.
 Tn Indiana the condition is not inn proved and in some localities the tubers are rotting, though this trouble is not widespread
 The yield is proving as bad as pre- dicted in Ohio and Michigan, the late rains not materially improving matters. Kentucky averages fair to good and Mis- souri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wiscon- sin. Minnesota and the Dakotas report light crops.
 Corn in illinois is nearly out of dan ger of frost. The late rain helped to make some of the stalk grow, and in some cases assisted in filling out the ears. Like effects are seen in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. Pros poets in Missouri are poor and no i'm. prov mont is seen ill Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. In Wisconsin corn is ripe, with light yields. h some counties it is being cut for fodder. Minnesota and the Dtkotas show Httla improvement. except i'll tha rip.nin@ Of the corn.
