COTTON SUPPLY AND C0NsUMP.
TON.

From the. New Orleans Picayune
But two months of the present
cotton season have elapsed, and yet
in that period 3,llo,3le bales have
been brought into sight. This is
the largest amount ever brought m
to sight during the first two months
Of season. exceeding the big crop
year OF 1894 by S0o,0 bales, in
round figures.
Without explanation or quallfica-
ton, these large figures would lndi-
cate an enormous crop, exceeding
even the ten.million-bale yield of
1894. There are explanations, how
ever, which have to be made, the
most prominent of which is the fact
that the crop is from three TO four
weeks earlier than usual. This cot
ton began coming to market in the
middle of August at rate which is
scarcely. usual before the middle of
September, while the September
movement was nearer the October
movement of an ordinary September.
Added to the early maturity of
the crop, there has been the excep-
tionally good character of the har-
vest weather. Nothing has hap
pened to interfere with the picking
of the crop and its rapid marketing,
even the range of prices having been
such as to encourage as free deliv-
cry as possible. The movement to
date has, therefore, not been safe
gauge of the total yield. In fact,
there are some people Who hold that
fully 40 per cent of the crop was
marketed on Nov. LIST. While,
however, the statistics afford no in
dication of the size of the crop, there
Is a general belief that the yield will
be somewhere in the neighborhood
Of eight million bales, or trifie
more.
As to the needs of consumers, Mr..
Ellison, who is the accepted authorl-
ty on the subject, holds that the
world will need s,s53,O00 bales of
American cotton of average weight,
and he places the total probable
needs of all kinds at 10, 726, 900
bales. If these figures are correct,
there is no danger that there will be
an excessive supply of American
cotton.
Last season there was an increase
in the spinning power of the world
Of !, 4ol, 600 spindles, all countries
sharing in the increase, except Great
Britain, where there appears to have
been decrease.

The Times Democrat of Friday
last prints an article on the eight
for the spoils'' that will be made by
the Republicans of our State now
that Mckinley has been the winner,
ana among the number who are men-
toned for the collectorship is our
once popular parishioner, Capt. }.
B. Donnally, who was held IN such
high esteem by both Democrats and
Republicans. There is hardly a
man in the parish who would not be
delighted TO see him receive the ap-
pointment, and among the number
is the Banner Democrat. The
Times-nemocrat says:
Capt. J. B. Donnally, who is the
chairman Of the Howell Executive
Committee, while not a candidate
for the collectorship of the port,
has been urged by merchants and
planters to make contest for the
place. While Capt. Donnally has
repeatedly said that be wished the
Custom House and Mint were in
Mexico, as they were the bane of
the Republican party in the State,
the chances are that he will not re-
fuse to make an effort for the col
lectorship if his political associates
think such course the best policy.
The appointment, if he could secure
it, would also enable him to pay off
many old scores, and to strengthen
the Howell wing of the party for
future contests with their enemies,
the CIRCULARS" This latter consid-
Grafton, of itself, will most likely
lead the Howell people to put mp a
candidate for the office, and as Capt.
Donnally is personally very popular
and enjoys large and influential
acquaintance in Republican circles,
be will most probably receive the
backing of the committee for the
place.
