The recent antarctic expedition was
a commercial one, and commercially it
was failure, because we did not find
the right whale, 50 valuable for its
whalebone. The Antarctic was fitted
out for the hunt of that particular kind
Of whale; nevertheless, / have no
doubt that the commercial result of the
expedition would have been much bet

! do not BY any means conaider the
fact Of our not having met with tho
right whale in those seas a. conclusive
proof Of their nonexistence in the bay
at Victoria Land. The Antarctic found
tho right whale at Campbell island in
the winter time: the boats fastened to
five of them, Of which, however. only
one was caught. Now, to me it does
not seem Improbable that these whales

COTTON CROP SHRINKING
THE SUPPLY \ MILLION BALES LESS
THAN LAST YEAR
THE WEEKS LOSSES IN THE VISIBLE OF ALL
KINDS AND OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

THE WEEKS LOSSES IN THE VISIBLE OF ALL
KINDS AND OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
or THE BULLs-cRoP NEWS.
The worlds visible supply OF cotton Of all kinds
decreased 2s bales last week This was not as
large a decrease the bulls in cotton hoped for
but Is large enough, they say. and is little too
much 10 expect everything out Just as Il is
predicted on the general drift of the cotton move
ment the weekly figures were amply sufficient TO
maintain the chief bull argument. that unless mill
consumption is curtailed stocks OF American cotton
NJ European ports will, before the foreign spnners
are able get any of the crop be reduced TO
the poin; of exhaustion. The decrease Of 5000
bales in the worlds visible supply Of all kinds COM
pare with increase of $500 for the corresponding
day last year. The visible supply of American cot
ton showed loss for the week Of $50 bales The
total visible supply OF all kinds is oo3 5el bales
below last year at this date 6ls S66 Tess than the
supply held on the previous year. and 366 G63 bales
under 1893 The total visible supply OF American
cotton Is 3.i9o 0JS bales 1870 AL less than
was a year ago. If these figures do not show sat-
isfacory progress toward the state OF things pre-
dcied by Nell and Ellison. then say the bulls,
the bears are hard to please. indeed.
The stath'tician, A. b. Sheppcrson, announced re-
Gently. oracularly. that consumption of cotton tbs
year would be larger than last year. This state
meat seized upon and spread bear argu
ment until recent losses in the visible have demon
stratei that rate OF consumption as large last
year will bring the visible supply of cotton down 20
100000 bales September ]. If the amount
coming into sight each week from now on was as
heavy q last year There seems be question
that the amount coming into sight from now
OIL will be at least 100000 bales under last year
Therefore say the bulls consumption, as reflected
in the visible supply from week to week as great
as last year means practically the utter extinction
OF the visible supply of cotton of all kinds In the
world. This condition. of course like Mr. NeilIs
prediction regarding the exhaustion OF American
cotton at European ports is not be thought posi-

higher prices will forbid it. Yet the mills chow no
signs of stopping while prices are at their present
level and their daily purchases here and abroad
admittedly as small they can make them, are
sufficient to bring about Nell's expected condition

melted last year the decrease each week after This
