1-CoNTRIBUTIoN OF THE SOUTH
TO THE WORLDS PRO
DUCTION OF COTTON.

Cotton is pre-eminently the agricuI-
tural product of the South, and our first
consideration must be given TO the con-
ditions which affect the production OF
that staple. The worlds supply Of cot
ton is chiefly furnished by the United
States, India. China, Afriea-partieu-
larly Egypt-and Brazil. of which. ac-
c0rding to Thomas Ellison 1SSD the
United States contributes some So per
cent, and the other countries the re-
mainder. According to statistics, how
ever. of the United States Department
OF Agriculture QS93) IL is estimated
that not less that 20 per cent Of the
cotton which enters into universal
commerce is supplied by the Southern
States. This vast contribution has Civ
en- ground to the belief that the cotton
supply of this country fixes the world 3
prices OF that article; that those prices
rise and fall in direct proportion to the
volume Of our crop, and that We can
make the price what we please II Is
expressly important 10 know II this Is
correct. Individual opinion cannot de-
termine the matter; we must be guided
by the most authentic statistical data
To avoid the errors often resulting
from covering too short a period, the
following table Is made to extend from
1871 to 1892, inclusive, and is prepared
from statistics furnished by the United
States Department of Agriculture. and
represents tie volume and value Of the
cotton crop Of the United States in the
years included.

1t is, or should be, the highest aim
of every merchant to please his Gus

This table does not show that the size
Of the American crop uniformly con-
trolls the price OF cotton. Years are
noted where the volume OF the crop
ard the price rise together: also. where
a decrease occurs in the volume with
out any increase in the price. Further.
the size Of a preceding years crop does
not uniformly affect the succeeding
crop in the same way; larger crop Is
seen to succeed a large crop in the
years 1879 and 1887 with an increase In
price, and small crop IS followed By
a smaller one in 1874 with a fall IN
price. The results Of the years given
show 10 examples where the price does
not conform TO the size Of the Ameri-
can crop; and where the price does
move in the direction opposite TO the
volume Of our crop, It is not in that
relative proportion which Is conclu-

An Incident of the Monthly
Review at the Preside
Yesterday Morning.
The Three Branches of the Service
Presented a Fine Appearance
en- Review.

There was an unusual number of per-
sons at the Presidio Friday morning,
including a number of ladies', to witness
the monthly review, muster and inspec-
ton which is held on the last day OF every
month except when such falls on Sun
day. The presence of so many ladies, who
filled the grand stand, was suggestive of
either the truth of the words of the song,
~ les Militaires," or the interest in
the army recently revived By the recent
grand military tournament. Be 1t one or
the other the turning out OF the troops on
the parade grounds of the post Is sight
worth the seeing, and it ought to be seen
by more of the citizens. By attending the
reviews the citizens get better idea OF
the soldiers, and the soldiers are stlmu-
lated to higher perfection in the discharge
of their respective duties.
The first to appear on the field yes
terday were the four com panies of cavalry,
which took a position on the extreme LETT,
then came the dismounted artilierymen as
a battalion of infantry, after which came
the four companies of the First Infantry,
and last to appear was the two companies
of light artillery. The artillery battalion
and the infantry took up positions on the
extreme right, while the artillery took up
the center, all facing Lieutenant Colonel
Young. acting post commander, who was
the reviewing officer. After the usual
ceremonies the men standing in COM
pan les into line, the order attention" was
given and the lieutenant-colonel and staff
rode in front of the infantry, the First
Regiment band playing the meanwhile;
as the commander of the post approached
the artillery the buglers of that branch of
the service played a quickstep, keeping it
up until the inspecting officer had reached
the left of line, when the buglers OF the
cavalry took up the refrain.
The inspecting officer and staff then
passed along the rear Of the three branches
OF the serv ce, after which they proceeded
to the reviewing stand. Then the order
was given and the companies wheeled
into column and, preceded by the band,
marched past the reviewing officer.
The neat appearance of the men. their
soldierly bearing and the, regularity of
step and distance were the subject of much

favorable comment by the spectators.
After passing, the infantry moved to the
color line and stood at parade rest while
the artillery and the cavalry went by the
reviewing officer at walk trot and
then at gail"p. Both of these last
named movements attracted much atten-
ton and were we'll executed, but as the
men dashed wildly by they raised such a.
cloud of dust that for moment they were
shut out from view
Then there was the muster and the in
spection OF arms. and as each company
was inspected it marched off the field.

him, and he was tied up in the grand
stand. What his offense was was not
made known, but he remained very quiet
until the first sound of the bugle an
nounced the command forward" Cav
airy jack arose to answer it, but he
could not get away. When the buglers
sounded "trot" he again tried to move,
but being unable to go, let out one howl,
and when ''gallop" was sounded he
howled so long and loud that he startled
every one on the grand stand. His howls
seemed to mean II want to be with you,
