HARRISON's BIG PRACTICE.
The Ex-Presidents Daily Labor and the
Profit He Derives From 1t.

Profit He Derives From It.
The gossip about the attitude of ca
President Harrison toward the next Re-
publican nomination has brought ont some
interesting facts in rCspGCttO the work he
is engaged in from day to day, and some
of his friends say that the pleasure which
he derives from it and the ample fortune
that he is thus building up have more at
fractions for him than another nomina-
ton, even could he feel assured that he
would he overwhelmingly elected
A friend who discussed the subject to-
day said that HaITisun's receipts from his
law practice during the past / & months in
cases in which he appeared in court aggre-
gated more than the presidents salary,
and besides this he had made large fees
in cases where he had acted only ms advi-
sorry counsel. He has appeared in the ar
gumont of the case of the city of lndianap-
oils against the street railroad company,
for which. he received II fec of S25, 900; in
the Mckccn-lveS case, involving the own
crship Of the Nandalia railroad, for which
he received II fee of $25, 00O in the MOrri-
son will case at Richmond, where he was
paid $4,000. In addition to this he re-
cuivcd $40, 900 for each Of IL law lectures
delivered At the Stanford university.
These services Melted him $50, 600, and be-
sides these hG has been connected with IL
number Of no less important cases in
which he has not appeared in court at ALL
but which he has really directed.
He has found his cases which do not
take him into court so congcnial that his
friends say there is IL strong probability
that Inc will ultimately confine himself TN
tircly 10 office work. 1t is said that cases
of this class in which he has acted only as
advisory counsel have Melted him as much
since h., return from Washington as those
in which he has participated actively in

KOLB ON THE COTTON YIELD.
He Predicts a short Crop and Adj
vaheed Prices.

He Predicts a short Crop and Adj
vaheed Prices.
birmingham. Ala. Sept. 14-Capt. r. Z.
Kolb, ex-eommissioner Of agriculture and
a well known politician, has addressed
an open letter to the cotton planters in
answer to inquiries from various sections
of the south. In It he says among other
things:
mo intelligent man who is adequately
posted viii take issue with me on the prop
osition that the present crop of cotton
viii fall far below the needs Of the worlds
consumption for the next twelve months.
In my opinion the crop can
not possibly reach 100000 bales
and may fall below 5000
l think 1 can give many good reasons
for my conclusion. A wet May always
means a short cotton crop. This is
known fact to all growers Of cotton and
stands as tradition handed down TO US
by our forefathers from generation to
generation ever since the production of
cotton was Introduced in this country.
This year we not only had the wet May,
but during the three following months
Of June, July and August, the rains con-
tinued over all the cotton states, except
Texas If we Know anything of cotton
production we must know that the cotton
plant is sun plant and not water lily,
and hence too much water has very much
damaged the crop.
Then, again, too much moisture in many
sections has produced rust" and the
stalks, leaves and bolls have turned red,
and not half a crop will be produced on
such plants. In other sections the boil
worm, army worm and sharpshooters
have been very destructive and the crop
very nearly destroyed, beseiged by all
these causes.
Again, the cotton crop, on the average.
is nearly one month late and an early
frost would cut the crop over 100000
bales. With so much moisture in the soil
this year we should expect frost much
earlier than usual. AS l understand the
situation Of the present cotton CROP after
diligent inquiry. l think It possible and
highly probable that not exceeding $500.
600 bales will Reproduced.
l advise that no cotton be marketed
during the next sixty to ninety days, ex-
cept TO meet debt and actual demand II
you hold your cotton until November
and December and will then market it
slowly you are sure to get 10 cents or more
for every pound Of It.
Next year continue to curtail your acre
age and use of fertilizers, make all your
provisions at home and choose to do as
you have been compelled to 40 this year
against you will and your next crop Of
cotton will bring 10 cents and more per
pound and the southern farmers will once
more be prosperous, happy people

CLOSING PRICES or BOSTON STOCKS.
ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Wednesday. June q

Wednesday. June 26-p. m.
The stock market was dull and unintcresting.
and there were no features Of any especial i'm
portance. II whispered around the Board
that a bear combination had been formed to at
tack the Industrial group. and inasmuch as there
was considerable weakness In some OF the Indus
trial shares some people rushed TO the immedi-
ate conclusion that bear pool had beeen formed.
The bear element appears to think that the dis
astrous condition OF trunk-ne traffic rates the
anthracite coal trouble and crop stories are suiil-
cient to bring about big reaction in prices; but
the conservative minded men In the Street do not
believe that prices will sag TO any extent under
bear pressure. The actual condition OF the coun-
try Is such as TO n,%ke the present a bad time
for bear pools. and IL Is poor policy TO try to work
them Rate-cutting is becoming more serious
than had been expected, and there appears TO be
reasonable excuse for such a condition Of
affairs In view of the general improvement In
business and the good prospects for heavy east
bound tonnage In the late summer and fall. The
present decentralization In rates will be considered
at trunk line presidents meeting to be held
this week or next. and there should then be n
most earnest effort made to bring about salts
factory and castiron rate agreement. The rate
question and the anthracite question settled will
act "a a great and beneficial tonic to the whole
stock market. The anthracite sales agents will
hold their monthly meeting tomorrow, and II Is
supposed that they will decide upon a radical
restriction In the output for July. Such action
is necessary II the condition OF the trade Is to be
considered. Sugar Refining lost about per cent
to-day. and Chicago Gas. General Electric and
Dsting and Cattle Feeding declined under bear
pressure. Proft-taking sales in the stocks which
have enjoyed advances on the good reports Of the
iron industry set in to-day. and the scare crop
reports succeeded In lowering the Changers. Lon
don sold few stocks In this market. New-Eng-
land declined to 4Sss. loss OF Ia per cent, and
