will be the smallest for seven years past. There is a prospect of late crop, and a probability of a yield little, if any, in ex- cess of this year.
 The mill consumption promises to be the greatest ever known.
 The richest lands in the Mississippi Vai- ley is oVerfiowed, and prospects are poor Of their being able to plant anything like full crop this year.
 A wet planting season over the majority of the belt, making an early August move ment, such as occurred last season, abso- lutely impossible.
 Last of all, prices for the new crop posi- tions are Ac. below the. value of spot cot- ton, and only 13-16c. higher than when the country was overwhelmed by probably the worst combination of disasters ever seen in times of peace.
 Is it any wonder then that spinners are daily absorbing the remnant of our stocks, regardless of the higher prices that they have to pay?
 Nothing could more clearly establish the fact that their supplies are not sufficient to last them until the new crop becomes avail able than their purchase of spots at 34c higher than the prices which are now ruling for the new crop. Since the famous Ma jors squeeze" of 1s90-when midd1ing in this market sold at 11B-there has not been such a strong position, and I am firmly con- Vinced that the advance of that year will be repeated this season.
 Even war-that great bugbear of the bulls and the bare threat of which has so often sent dismay into their ranks-has lost it's terrors and cotton has steadily advanced sangunary kind
 And the advance has barely begun.
 Yours truly,
 HUGH F. MELROY.

 Dr. Hartman has given this subject special study and thought and done much toward remedy.ng the ma ter.

Cotton Letter
 New York, May 1.-The campaign in cot ton this week has been exciting and decld- edly in favor for bulls The professional traders here have been disappointed in their hopes that the improvement in the planting reports would be more potent in affecting values than the amazingly strong statistical position and the eager absorp- ton of cotton by spinners of the world. To- day there was pause in both the activity and the march towards a higher level of prices. Liverpool was better this morning. but the advices there was regarded as hardly adequate. Nevertheless there were large buying orders here for the near months and they opened higher. The chronicle report on the outlook in the south was construed aS favorable and the late months were sold in consequence. They opened lower. Liverpool sold early and bought in the last hour. August opened at 7.55. declined to 7.4S, advanced to 752, again gave way and closed at 750, with the tone of the market steady. The general alarm over the danger of a great shartage in sup- ply of cotton before the new crop begins to pour in is certainly well founded and the speculative world has begun to recognize the fact as result of the investment buying this week has been notable and much cot ton has passed from weak into strong hands. Only the boldest dare sell the sum- mer months short and those who believe in lower prices are confning their attention to next crop. Although the advices from the south have become more favorable they are by no means glowing and it seems to us poor policy to add to the already enorm- ous short interest in the fall and winter months by selling them. Speculation in cotton has become more general, but the advice this week has been due not to this but to the position and merits of staple. Such an advance is more apt to be perma- nent than rapid and we rather expect to see something of a setback next week. A de- cline in prices will not add to the supply of cotton in the world and if it comes we think it will present an advantageous opportunity to invest. The continued success of Turks in the war with Greece has led to a feeling of security in considering the effect of the war upon the markets of the world.
