The Increment of cotton.

The price of cotton has hung about s
cents for quite a long time, thus disap-
pointing both those who are contending
for a higher and those for a lower price.
Those who have cotton TO sell feel con-
hdent that the price will advance very
considerably Immediately after the holi-
days. They feel that way because they
are quite certain that the crop is as
small as it is estimated TO be. On the
other hand, the purchasers OF cotton con-
tend that the crop is a great deal larger
than the estimates. and the reason more
Of it has not come to market is that plant
ers and interior merchants are holding
it back. 1t may be that TO some extent
cotton is being held. The merchants and
planters are in much better fix for hold
ing it than they were last year or for
many previous years
STILL there are good reasons for think
ing that those who want cotton are max
ing mistake, and will have to pay a
much higher price for it a few weeks
hence than the price at which it is now
being offered. Mr.. Hester, superintendent
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
makes an interesting comparison of the
crop of 1892 with that of the present
season. The crop in 1892 amounted to
$4,000 bales. The crop of this season
is estimated to be about 100000 bales.
And yet on last Saturday. 5000 bales
more of this years crop had been mar
keted than had been marketed at SINH
lar period in 1892. This fact would indi
cate that cotton has not been. and is
not being, held back.
All that keeps the price of cotton from
advancing sharply is the belief of the
purchasing interest that there is more cot
ton in the hands of planters and interior
merchants than there is estimated to
be. As soon as they discover that their
belief is a mistaken one the price will ad-
vance, and the movement of cotton to
the ports will be much more lively than
it is at present.

Christmas shonninr.

Everybody does shopping at Christmas
time. The good old Christian. and Chris
tianizing' custom of giving presents at
Christmas demands that even those VINO
never go shopping at any other season
shall turn out about this time of the
year and in person purchase presents for
family and friends. Probably this life af
fords no more genuine happiness than that
which comes through the Santa Claus
myth. And for the next ten days Santa
Claus will be very, very busy.
The progressive spirit Of the merchants
of Savannah is well Illustrated in the
provisions which they have made for the
Christmas shopping of the present season.
Their stores are veritable bazars of sea-
sonable and handsome goods, and they
are offered at prices which should. and
probably WILL make it possible for the
patron saint of the Christmas HOLIDAYS
to visit almost every home in the city.
The intelligent preparation for Christ
mas, it will be observed, is not confined
to the merchants in any particular class
of trade. Butchers, bakers and CANDLE
stick-makers. as well as grocers. dry
goods merchants, haberdashers, clothiers.
milliners and all Of the others, are fun
of the spirit of the season, and their
places of business are correspondinglv
full Of the commodities of the season.
The advertising columns of the Morning
News furnish from day to day a direc-
TOR Of he
with the times, and to a considerable ex-
tent also catalogue of their prices. This
catalogue will show that the merchants
have not only exerted themselves to ca
ter to the demands of the season in an
acceptable manner, but at prices that will
bear comparison with the prices of any
convenient market
Savannah is blessed with a geographical
situation that should make her one of
the leading retail cities in the country;
and she will attain to that distinction
in time-as soon as some of her own
citizens realize the fact that they are
working against their own interests when
they make their retail purchases outside
of her limits. From what can be learn
ed, people of this city who have here
tofore sent to New York and Philadel-
phia for their Christmas purchases are
this yeaE making them at home. If that
is correct, an era of extended prosperity
is just ahead of the city. When such
persons learn that holiday purchases can
be made as cheaply here as elsewhere,
they will make other purchases here also.

That that error of the past,

Mayor Pingree of Detroit is not a very
good Ajax. The other day he defied the
lightning of the street car companies
wrath, and got hit. The mayor has been
conducting a campaign for lower street
car fares. He thinks quarter for six
rides is enough to pay for street car
transportation. The roads hold the price
of fares at five cents straight. The mayor
entered a street car and demanded six
tickets for quarter. The conductor de-
clined to give them to him. ''Then you will
have to carry me for nothing" said the
mayor. But the conductor did nothing
of the kind. He grabbed the mayors col
lar and fired him bodily off the car. The
conductor was a negro.
