THE COTTON SLUMP.
WHAT MIR. JOHN II. INMAN SAYS
AEOUT 1T.
There VIII lie n Gradual Hard
ching of the Market and the
Final Price VIII he About
Nine Cents.
Nine Cents.

NEW YORK. October 22.-Mr. John II.
Inman. who Is credited with having made
more than a quarter Of million dollars
ont of Yesterdays sensational break in
cotton. said In an interview to-day:
THE congestion of cotton. which has
taken place for the last several weeks.
and which eliminated last Wednesday,
was the result Of wild speculation on
the part OF Americans to carry the price
to IN cents.
"prices were carried so high last week
that II was perfectly apparent 10 any
sensible man who Is accustomed TO deal
In cotton that II he wanted to operate at
all there was nothing to do but shut his
eyes and sell. Regardless of what the
crop is likely to be cotton was carried
entirely too high, at least for the time
being.
"The reaction came more quickly and
eharper than any Of US expected. but
with this enormous liquidation the at
mosnhere will gradually clear. and the
movement Of prices will now be regulated
by the volume OF receipts and the proba-
bl,. outcome Of the crop. If the crop Is
b.
well-jnformed men appear to believe. cot
ton. in NV opinion. will work back TO the
nairhborhood Of 10 cents before the sea-
son is over on the contrary, If we have
OGD bales as some Of the standard
authorities estimate the crop. we are sell
ing il now at fair values.
II have thought for some weeks that
the market estimate of the crop which
we can make is the mean of these fig
ures. j. g.. $4,000 bales. Holding this
view. | believe that after this shake up
is over we will have gradually hardening
markets and land near cents. II / was
a consumer of cotton or spinner I
would commerce at this price and gradu-
ally accumulate my stock Of cotton for
the season.
1T is difficult to gauge the amount OF
weak long cotton yet to come on the
market. but my judgment Is that what
ever there is Will come out some time this
week While | expect no sharp rally, I
do think that the lowest prices We will
have for the next two months either
took place yesterday or will take place
between now and the coming Saturday
The consumption Of American cotton
throughout the world is enormous. and
ar to-day's prices ! DO not think a single
spinner will stop. whereas at the figures
OF last week. is TO l IL cents above to-
days market-large numbers Of spinners
in Europe would have become idle. This
break will accelerate the movement TO
Europe. and If the crop becomes distrib-
uted and once in the hands OF consumers
Spectators will take hold OF II and pai
it to a figure which has perhaps not been
reached yet II Is one thing 10 UNDER
take TO corner cotton in October. when
the volume Of receipts is enormous and
another to take up a bull campaign in
the spring Of the year. when the crop
has been taken up and is out Of the way

evil must be removed. Society Is re-
sponsible for crime. Capital punishment
had no effect. A scientist investigated
the lives Of a number OF criminals sent
to death. and discovered that they had

. Coming 10 the prison problem. DIR.
White sketched the old system OF incar-
ceration and the new, saying OF the Tat
ter that our prisons are now marvels
OF cleanliness, good order, and humanity.
With all this we are incompetent TO deal
with our prisoners. Statistics prove now
far we fail. Prisons create what they
are intended TO prevent. They are not
beds for the production OF crime. They
manufacture the phthisicai. the insane,
and the criminal
In them the criminal enjoys the lethargy
OF a purely animal existence, ana ny
and by the prison TO him becomes
necessity The prison Is the best school
for crime that we possess. an autho-
rity maintains. and we have In tho
prison a confirmed enemy OF society.
Contrasting prisons with the best
reformatory system. DR.. White said
OF the latter that. while the criminal. as
degenerate, Is out OF harmony win MS
environment, reformatories furnish an
artificial environment whose scheme IS
one OF regeneration beginning with ny
giene, athletics. and dietetics as BASIS
for cerebral adaptation. and useful oc-
cupation as a curative adjunct.
Criminals said Dr. White, should
be sent TO reformatories as patients. %
remain until cured and not for nxed
time, and criminals should know that
this is the course, and that liberty de-
ponds on themselves"
The environments OF reformatories, the
speaker held must resemble the outside
world. Such methods as these when car
ried out are a success.

formatory of all places OF the kind IN
tho world exhibits this form OF reforma-
ton in its greatest development and
greatest success. Elmira as an expert
ence in criminology is a success
In conclusion, DR.. White repeated his
assertion that the spirit OF retaliation
by punishment was no longer admlssi-
bic. Degenerates should be treated as
ailing persons, and kept In proper nos
pitfalls for regeneration until cured.
