New Orleans, Sept. Ain an elabor-
ate report of II. G. Hester, secretary
of the Cotton exchange, upon the cot
ton crop of last season he
puts the average commercial value
of the crop at S36.76 per
bale and the total value 1921 ,925, 900,
against S294, 045,00O last year, and
1927, OBS, 900 the year before, showing
that the south obtained for this years
crop nearly $2S,0OO,OOO more than that
of last year and $50, 100000 more than
was received for the 100000 bale
crop of 1S94-5. He also asserts that
the latter represents much less than
net gain to the grower, considering
the difference in the cost of raising
the two crops.
Mr.. Hester reports the total mum
Der OF spindles in the south at 3,S51,.
991, an Increase over last year of 1885,
1853. These include 2S9,1S0 new and
not complete, most of which may be
brought into play early this fall and
winter. The net gain in the, number
of southern mills over last ye&r has
been seven, making the total numbel
now 49,.
The phenomenal growth Of the cot.
ton manufacturing industry in the
south is brought out very plainly in
Mr.. Hester's report. In 1890 the total
southern consumption was 546, S94
bales, while in 1897 it has been 1,O42,.
GIL bales. In eight years therefore,
the consumption of cotton in the south
has doubled, whereas in the north the
consumption remains the same. On
this subject Mr.. Hester says: ''The
change in the percentages north and
south during that period, however,
are strikingly suggestive. In 1915
7-IJ per cent of our domestic con-
sumption of cotton was north, % BIO
per cent south; 1S97-63 40 was
north and SO Clio was south. In other
words, in the former year the northern
consumption was as Is to 3, whereas
today it is Is to 10, the north standing
today as it did in 1890 and the south
having doubled"

Seattle, Wash, Sept. A Post In
telligencer correspondent writing on
August 25th from Skaguay, says that
three days downpour had discouraged
many gold-seekers, one hundred re-
turning in a single day from the trail,
on which the mud is four inches to
five feet deep. Men are frequently
mired up to their shoulders and horses
are shot because they cannot be move
ed from the stiff mud. The horses are
soon worn out by the exhausting work
of packing and without horse min
er has no hope of getting through.
Men as packers are in great demand,
receiving from IS to $40 per day and
board. The work is very hard, man
being required to carry 100 pounds to
the load and to keep it up all day
through the mud and rain. A person
cannot stand it long.
A great many are cutting down their
supplies to barely enough to carry
them over the winter and are pushing
on to the lake post haste to get down

others Interested.
THE Manchester Cotton association
Limited, Manchester, 18th August,
1897. Dear Sir: At meeting of the
board of directors of the above asso-
citation held on the 9th inst, the pres
ent process of baling cotton and con.
dition it lands in this country was
brought before them, and l was in
structed to write all the principal
cotton exchanges in America, drawing
attention of the growers and packers
of cotton to the unsatisfactory condi-
ton in which their cotton is delivered
at the mills in this district through
the careless manner in which cotton
is packed for shipment, and strongly
recommending that all ginning and
packing factories in the States should
adopt the Egyptian style of packing
and pressing, which our spinners are
very anxious to try and would give
preference to any cotton so packed
This style does not injure the staple,
moreover it saves loss in weight, by
the picking on landing being unneces-
'sary and the expense of mending at
docks and farther it obviatoS annoy
ance and loss through the landing of
cotton without marks; therefore, ii
is very disagreeable that the packing
OF American cotton should be revolu-
tionized and the directors hopa thai
your exchange will take this matter
pg and deal With it promptly, as this
association, which represents up
ward of thirteen million spindles in
Lancashire, is very DESTROYS that a
change should take place, as at pres
ent cotton is landed very detrimental
to the interests of the members who
are spinners as well as cotton mer-
chants. Yours truly,
"(Signe0 RICHD J. ALLEN"
