a lack of water above second stories.
though l have heard no complaint. When
the weather is cold the water supply runs
low. and when it is hot the supply runs
low. And still nobody kicks.
There are three or four ice factories in
the city, with a nominal capacity sWfn-
elent to furnish a city of twice the size:
yet when the scorchng days come on and
Ice is a necessity, not a luxury, the Ice
man fails to come around, and people are
compelled TO swelter and steam without
one ounce of the delectable concentrated
GOODNESS. Still nobody kicks; the ice
famine is accepted with a philosophy that
would be sublime if it were at all called
for.
There are several street car lines In the
city, all owned and directed by the same
company, yet operated as if they were
separate corporations, each charging a
full fare. The city laws say that a street
car company shall give continuous ride
from any point on its lines to any other
point ON its lines for one fare, or words
TO that effect. Rather than kick for a
just and equitable system of transfers
from one line to another, the people of
Savannah are content to go down into
their pockets and pay the extra nickel.
The people of this city made a demand
for special body to take care of the
beautiful trees, squares and parks. The
legislature created such a body, and gave
it well-defned powers. For occult rea-
sons the commission has been knocked
higher than a kite by the city council.
And still nobody kicks.
Savannah has seen the business of Nor
folk and other Virginia ports boom up
wards, under the benignant influences of
the friendship of the railroads, while her
own commerce has hardly more than held
its own The Southern is pulling COM
merce from Savannahs territory to Vir-
ginia; still there is no kick coming.
These are just few instances illustrat-
ing how good-natured the Savannah peo-
pie are If one would take the trouble
to think a moment, as many more in
stances would probably be called to mind.

Hubbard Bros. a Co.'s Cotton Review.
New York, July Hubbard Bros. & Co.
IN their weekly report, say of cotton: "As
usual at the end of June advices from the
south reporting the condition of the crop.
become the controlling factor In the situa-
ton and this is especially true this reason
when speculation Ia lacking as a factor to
advance the price of the small remaining
supply. Our reports from our correspond
ents are singulary free from any com
plant except that the plant Is small and
backward throughout the cotton belt, with
the exception of Central and Southern
Texas where IL is reported to be fully as
forward as at this time last season Show
ers fell in Southern Texas on Saturday.
where they were beginning to be needed,
and with the exception of Western Ala
bama, Eastern Mississippi and Southern
Georgia. no complaints of lack of moisture
have been received.
with these adyices before us, we have
been surprised a the tenor of the govern
ment report for the week, which in sub
stance states, that general rains are need
ed over the cotton belt. Experience has
taught the cotton trade that 1t Is danger
Gus to be committed to the anticipation OF
lower values upon crop advices at the end
of June, and the memory of last seasons
disaster, with its effect upon prices is
factor in preventing any forward sales to
Europe for early shipment. Thus the
demand from the spinners upon the reduc-
ed stocks has not been met with the usual
free offerings from the south, while on
the other hand Europe has not purchased
fall shipments, believing that the large
acreage must yield a large crop. The
question Of price, therefore, hinges upon
the condition Of the crop after the first
of July with the chances more In favor Of
rapid advance should the weather prove
unfavorable, than of decline should crop
reports prove favorable.
Our recent Improvement shows,
that with the least unfavor-
able advices, no sellers are
to be found as no one cares TO face
buying movement based upon poor crop
advices, at present prices. Consumption
has so oyertaken production that we have
reached point where "a supply Of cotton
in excess of the requirements of the mills
next season, is necessary to prevent a STOP
page of machinery. and the question of an
advance or a decline is to be settled upon
that simple proposition. We find now
some of our southern spinners coming to
New York for cotton clearly proving that
they did not secure enough cotton from
this crop when IL was moving, and our
northern spinners buy daily and are con-
stantly seeking suitable lines. If no ad-
vance occurs before the end OF the season.
this crop year will have passed into his
tory as demonstrating the effect of condi-
lions outside the cotton trade upon yield
of cotton not equal to the actual consump-
tive requirements"
