COTTON PROSPECTS.

A Probability That the Planters Dream of

ST. Louis, Oct. lit now appears
Is though the dream of the cotton
olanter-a dream which for the past
two years has seemed far from likely
20 come true-was about to be realized.
The dream is of 1O-cent cotton. From
present indications that price will be
reached before many weeks; possibly,
lays As dispatches from New York
stated, the market there has been
most bullish, and cotton in St. Louis
asst week sold as high as So cents.
That it will advance at least another
Il cent before the week is over there
S little dou BIT. The advance is due al
most entirely to a shortage in the
crop.
But with the short crop the money
which cotton, even at cents, will
more than $40, 600. 900 greater than last
year, when the crop was a full 10000,
300 bales. Statistics compiled on last
years crop show that the money it
brought back to the planters was but
trit1e over $3.50, 900, OOO This year the
crop is estimated by President Lane,
Of the Cotton Growers Protective as
ISOLATION, at $500, 900 bales. 1t may
not reach over 5000, 900, and it may
possibly go as high as 6,7OO, 900. But

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The follow

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Sept.

reached the age emitting him to relief from
the military service, and in accordance with
the law is hereby placed upon the retired list
of the army to date from September %, 1895,
with all the pay and allowances belonging to
his rank upon such retirement.
1t is with much regret that the president
makes the announcement in losing the COM
mander of the army in the distinguished gen.
eral who has done so much for its honor and
efficiency. His gallantry in war challenges
the admiration of all his countrymen while
they will not fail to gratefully remember the
faithful service he has done in times past.
Lieut. Gen Schofield'S career, exhibiting an
unvarying love for his profession, as we'll as
his career and good name, a just appreciation
OF the subject it exacts and constant mani
festation Of the best traits of Americanism,
furnished to the army example of inesti-
mable value and should teach our people that

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 3O.-A Japa-

some point on the North Pacific coast,
and Seattle is making a strong effort
to have the American terminus of the
line located here. The Japanese diet

this country to determine which is
the best port on the North Pacific for
this end of the line. The principal
products Of Pacific coast states that
can be used by Japan and China, are
