Special reports from the different
cotton States in the September edi-
ton of the Times-Democrat, on the
condition of the crops, says: Ala
bama, boil worms playing havoc
with the crop; the estimate rs 50 per
cent short of last year. In Arkansas,
the decrease is 10 per cent less in
acreage than last year, and the ex-
cessive rains of July and August has
decreased the yield 20 per cent.
Florida. it is said under the most
favorable conditions the crop will
fall short of last year 40 per cent
the area planted in cotton is 80 per
cent less than last year. Georgia,
only two-thirds of crop; the acre.
age is from Is to 20 per cent less
than last year. with falling off of
100000 tons in the use of fertilizers.
rhe Louisiana crop Is put down at
% per cent less than last year.
Mississippi's report on its cotton
crop condition is better than any of
the rest, and reports at this date a
fair cotton crop. North Carolina
"cotton stands at "A IL, an average
condition. This persistently low
average of condition forces the con-
viction that this crop will be very
short and also short in the number
of acres seeded. The crop is from
ten days to two weeks late, and with
an early frost the prospects would be
cut short even much more" In
South Carolina the cotton acreage
is greater than last year by 10 per
cent. The crop will be far from
poor, but the prospects are that
while the acreage this year is prob
ably 10 per cent greater than last
year, the crop will be 10 per cent
less. Tennessee shows by its
report a decrease of 20 per cent
planted in cotton. The excessively
wet soil prevented proper cultivation,
fields becoming quite foul, and the
three weeks drouth following has
almost destroyed the ''bottom" crop,
and the "top" crop is shedding
badly. Two-thirds of a crop is a
big average. In the great cotton
growing State of Texas, the decrease
in acreage is fully 10 per cent,
while unfayorable weather has cut
the yield down twenty-seven per
cent.

SPANS Wreckage Record.

The recent loss of the Reina
Regente recalls the fact that Spain,
once the greatest naval power of the
world, has lost not less than 600
men-ofwar in ship-wreck since the
beginning of the sixt, enth century.
There is ample documentary evil
dence to that effect, and the greatest
disasters TO the Spanish fleets are
here recounted in their chronologic
order:
OF the feet sent against Algiers
in 1918. under Admiral Don Hugo
de Moncada, thirty vessels foun-
dered in a storm, with 1000 men on
board.
Another expedition against Al
giers, sent by Emperor Charles v.
in l54l, lost 140 vessels on the
rocks of Morocco, $500 men losing
their lives.
OF the feet which sailed in 1862,
under Gen. Mendoza, to deliver
Oran from the Mussulnans, twenty
ships, including the flagship, with
the aforementioned General on
board, never returned.
A year later, in the fall of 1868,
a cyclone in the Bay of Cadiz sent
fifteen of the governments best
caravels to the bottom.
In 1888 the famous Armada, be-
lieved to be invincible, met her
doom in the English Channel,
elghty-one out of the 1870 vessels,
sinking with most of their crews.
The loss of men is estimated at
$4,000.
Fourteen of Admiral Don An
tonic Nayarro's vessels foundered
in a storm off the Mexican coast,
near San Juan de Ulloa, in 1890.
Six years later fearful storm in
the Biscayan Bay caused the loss OF
forty -one vessels belonging to the
feet of Admiral Martin de Padilla.
Not long after this Admiral Mar.
quis de Santa Cruz lost ten vessels,
with $500 men, on the Corsicau
coast.
After a long pause Gen. Jose
Pizzaro lost five men-of-war in an
engagement with the English in
I74l.
Within the last 1875 years the
records are much easier of access,
and the figures can be gwen abso
luteiy correct. In this time the
Spaniards lost twelve large battle
ships under steam aud twenty -one
first class sailors, with 1870 guns
% frig ties, with 500 guns, and
more liam 100 gunboats, torpedo
boats, briggs, galeotes, etc. The

hurt. The seconds then interposed

Tagging and Ties.

About 5000, 900 yards of jute
bagging have been consumed at
this point during the past season in
the marketing of the cotton crop.
Prices have, on the whole, ruled be-
low last season, owing to the fact
that the import dutv-equal to
about 90 cents per yard-has now
been removed, under a recent tariff
act. Two-pound baggIng opened at
about 6 l-8 cents per yard, and un-
der heavy consnmptive demand in
the early part of the season quick
advance of rs cents was marked.
With falling off in the inquiry
prices declined to about IA cents,
which is about the present figure
for this weight. The average price
for the year is about cents. The
recent recommendation of the Cot
ton Exchange in regard to the use
of heavier description Of baggIng
seems to have had some weight with
the planters. and the bulk of the in
quiry for this next season Is for
two-pound and two and a quarter
pound weights. The one and one
half and one and three. quarter pound
weights are at present practically
neglected. 1t is gratifying to note
that, notwithstanding the fact that
this article Is now on the free list
for imports, the American manufac-
tnrer is able to hold his own with
the foreign producer.
The market for ties opened the
season with IS pounds quoted at so
cents. With an advance in the
price of iron, prices have since risen
to 10 cents, at which figure the new
season opens. The standard has
been changed from SO pounds to
the bundle to 80 iron ties of IL feet
in length to As pounds OF 80 steel
bands of IL IL feet each. About
$50, 900 bundles have been dlstribn-
ted at this point. For the first
time since the passing of Mckinley
act, imports of foreign ties have
recently been received at the por, of
New Orleans. New Orleans Plea
