Mr. r. r. NELL of New Orleans. who
has been In Texas for several weeks In
ycs,igat,ng the crop outlook, said today;
II certainly hope that this great state will
produce a big cotton crop this year for
believe that the price VIII prove re-
rnuneracve / shink the world will need
fully nine and a quarter million bales OF
American cotton the coming season. ana
n United States crop no larger than that
should average I cents pound.
For the first Two months OF the sea-
son. regardless of what yield the crop
outlook may forecast. / see no reason 10
expect spot prices 70 be any lower than
az present Ths-c will be TO Old crop
available IN this country within another
month. and both home and foreign spin
ners will want the new staple nearly as
FAST as It reaches the market. The
American mills bought very sparingly the
frs; half OF last season. but now there
Is every evidence OF improved trade and
a better home demand fer the raw prod
uct seems assured
1T was the small demand from this
country that kept the price OF cotton at
q comparatively low figure from Novem-
Der 10 April this year. II our home mills
had increased their takngs in proportion
10 the Increase abroad, crop Of $4,000
wonld have been found entirely too
small, As IT was the old crop has now
been exhausted. and the surplus from the
previous year is boiag used up.
I'VE will enter the new season with
very small supply in all parts of the
world and it seems reasonable therefore
TO expect a good demand from all quar-
ters. Even II the crop sholld point to
100000 bales. which hardly seems nos
sible DO not think COTTON would sell
below cents The year We raised such
a crop. nnd the only year that cotton
has cyor sold below cents. We began the
season with IN old supply a million bales
larger than we Will have at the opening
OF rhls season.
THE new crop win constitute nearly the
entire supply this year. and unlcss It Is
equal to Tho largest yield on record sue
no reason tp expect scent cotton. II be

pICuNOND.s POSITION.

We take the following from the edlto-
rial columns Of the Norfolk Landmark.
"There is nothing ungenerous or I'M
becoming in the argument that hich-
mond has had the convention so much
that Norfolk ought TO have chahce.
That is an obvious fact, with no seh'i-
ment about II. Richmond may endeavor'
and nrobably will endeavor, TO secure
the privilege again this time put'
within the extent of our observation
she looks with perfect friendlness upon
the rivalry of Norfolk and the other
cities which are bidding against her.
We do not believe that the people OF
Richmond would be at all Disconnected
ar dismayed if the convention were 10
go elsewhere.
The Landmark takes a fair view Oh
the matter If it shall be the conclusion
of the State Committee that 1t is Tor
the hest interests of the party that the
convention should go to Norfolk, Lynch
burg. Roanoke, Stanton, Chariottesviile'
or Newnort News no murmuring will be
heard in Richmond.
our city will be glad to have the con-
vention held here, and will extend an
invitation to that effect, but we know
of no purpose upon the part or our peo-
nle IN make a fight" for the honor
If Richmond is selected as the con-
vention city, it will be because in the
Judgment of the Democratic state COM
mittee the interests of the party ana
the convenience and comfort of the men,
hers will be best served by holding It
here-not because 1t has been WORKED
for. In fine, we wish the committee 10

ton here or send it elsewhere, as It's

be that the department has just waKed

pedo-boats, which are very highly en-

Considering that the Navy Department
has been building steei warships for NJ

THE PEACE OUTLOOK.

II IS reported from Athens that Queen
Olga has sent n telegram to the Car
soliciting the mediation of Russia be-
tween Turkey and Greece; also. that
Greece has made written application TO
the Powers through their representatives
at the Greek capital, with the object OF
securing mediation. Furthermore, the
statement comes from Paris that it is
believed the Powers have already agreed
upon the terms Of adjustment.
In view of the inharmoniousness of the
concert up to the present. this last-men
toned piece Of information will be looked
upon with especial suspicion. But adj
hitting that it is reliable, it may yet be a
far cry to the actual adjustment. In
other words. 1t is a grave question
whether the Powers will be able 20 carry
out their peace programme without great
difficulty. unless some o. them are pre-
pared to reverse entirely their respective
policies regarding the little eastern prob
lem.
Had the Powers interviewed or mediated
after the first clash Of arms on the Thes-
salian border. they could easily have die
tated a settlement Of the question on
the basis of the status quo ante-bellum."
Greece might have fumed over the mat
ter considerably, but She would have sub
mitted in the end, as she did in 1886. when
that enthusiastic phil-Hellene. Gladstone.
played the leading part in coercing her.
But Turkey now. flushed, as she Is, with
victory, is quite different factor from
Turkey as she was at the beginning of
hostilities. 1t is an open secret in the
European capitals that Turkey has been
taking on arrogance steadily ever since
her first success over the Greeks. Abdul
Hamid, Mr.. Gladstone's great assassin OF
Europe, miserable wretch. in constant
dread of assassination though he is still
has ambition for more sincere recogni-
ton of right to the caliphate than Islam
accords him, and II is believed that what
ever he has failed to secure in that direc-
ton by encouraging the outrages in
Armenia he now hopes 10 gain through
the settlement of tho Graeco-Turkish
question. 1t is said that Turkeys terms
of peace include a heavy indemnity in
money. the abandonment by Greece of
all claims TO Crete. the retrocession OF
Thessaly. and the turning over of the
Greek fleet TO the Porte. In the mean
time Turkey has. 1t is learned. determined
on a large increase of her army in Eu-
rope. and threatens a holy war. 1t
would therefore appear that, what with
the fact that 1t is hardly possible the
powers would countenance some of the
Porte's terms, and the arrogance and the
threats of Turkey. II may still be some
time before the peace of Europe Is as
sured and the dangers Of general war
shall have been oyerpassed.
