LARGEST ON RECORD
SALES THE COTTON MARKET
YESTERDAY REACHED
100000 BALES.
AND CLOSED 10 TO Is POINTS OFF

The Break Originated in Reports That
Neill Had Come Out in a Circular
Pointing to a Possible 6.5OO,OOO
Bale Crop--This Caused an Ava
lanche of Selling Orders, Though
New Orleans Was All The Time
Heavy Buyer.
NEW YORK, Oct 16.-Cotton market
opened steady at decline of SAL points
because the Liverpool cables were disap-
pointing. Late cables showed recovery
and our market rapidly advanced some
13a14 points. Then followed period OF
widest confusion, the net result of which
was a break of II or 10 points. The
market closed steady at net decline of
10a15 points.
The selling impulse originated in re-
ports that Neill had come out with cir
cular pointing to a possible $500, QUO
crop, which was half million more than
previous rumors. The crop estimate re.
port spread throughout the country and
an avalanche of selling orders struck the
market. The decline was accelerated by
the free movement predicted for the in
terror towns. Throughout the session
there were numerous rallies, but the
main drift of the market was downward
under enormous liquidation and large
selling orders were executed for English
account. New Orleans was apparently
a heavy buyer throughout.
The market made record in the way
of sales to day, the total reaching $50, 200
bales against the largest previous total
of $50 900 in November, 1892.

TOO WICKED TO THINK ABOUT

The seeming absence Of any national
perturbance or expressions Of regret
upon the part of China for the great
loss of human life in that country, at
first sight seems unaccountable. Are
the people of that empire destitute
of human sympathy and love of coun-
try, or is their umconcern due TO the
fact Of their multiudinous numbers
and machine-like life? Probably the
latter. Thousands upon thousands
would not be missed. or the killing of
hundreds Of thousands make any no
ticable gap in the population. Five
hundred thousand or Il million might
be carried off by war and Yet the
empire would remain oYercrOwded.
Even one hundred millions, or i great
er number than all the people on the
North American continent, might be
slain and there would be three times
as many left. There are enough
Chinese to absolutely cat UP and spit
out or digest in u single day all the in
habitantS of Japan and, If that We're
the only food, leave the people of the
Chinese empire, as Il whole, to go TO
bed hungry. Had China been deci-
minated by wars for the past two
thousand years, as has Europe, China
might have been 4 leading nation III

been too many Of them. But FOR

would have been swarming on that

even if its victims failed to realize
them as an mmiXed blessing. As

dard men are to be found in the west.
This is certainly true, or otherwise

About Kansas Irrigation

The Kansas state irrigation board
has held business meeting, ana II Is
announced that points have been selec-
ted for irrigation experiments, which
will consist of attempts to draw from
the depths of the earth by means OF
pumps, worked by windmills or gaso-
line engines, water in sufficient guam
tity for irrigation purposes. Whether
the board viii literally strike water
is a question Of the uncertain future.
but the experiments honestly and faith
fully conducted should result in a
strike" in miners language, OF IN
formation. The appropriation is SUI
ficient and it remains to be determin-
ed if the board of irrigation is adequate
The experiments should determine
the truth or falsity OF the claim, main
tanned, that there exists underneath
great areas of Kansas, a Subterranean
reservoir of what is commonly called
sheet water; whittier this body is with
in an accessible distance; what Is its
extent and whether il can be brought
to the surface in sufficient quantity
and al q reasonable expense. This is
the question with which the irrigation
board has 10 deal with, and if the board
does not find itself in a position to give
Il direct answer on the assembling OF
the next Kansas legislature the people
of Kansas who pay the bills of the
board Will have reason to be greatly
disappointed.
The board of irrigation will. of course
take note of previous experiments III
the way of irrigation, both by open
bitches, Il method as old as man on
the earth, and by aTtesian and other
wells. The board would do well 10
ascertain and give the world all the
facts in regard 10 what they called the
Meade county experiment, by which
the farmers, without government or
other aid, and of their own motion
and Of their own means, obtained suf-
ficient water for farmeing purposes by
artesian wells not exceeding. as a rule,
200 feet deep. The board should ascer-
tain the final results of that experiment
whether the area of irrigation has been
extended, and if not, why not. The
board cannot overlook such test
case.
What is expected Of the board Of ir-
rigation is a steadily prosecuted in
vestigation, and a definite result, and
not, in conclusion. a report of some
progress made and a request To sit
again, but a yes or no answer To the
question Can Kansas be lrrigated?'
