Travellers passing through the Southern
States have their curiosity aroused by see
ing from the car windows large fields of un-
picked cotton going to waste or being eaten
by cattle 1t is explained that a poor crop
does not pay for picking because cotton is
only about cents a pound in the markets
Of New Orleans and Savannah. The season
has been cold and rainy and it has been
difficult to persuade pickers to go into the
field for the wages which the planters have
been able to offer them. For these reasons
thousands of acres have been abandoned.
Some estimate it as high as 80 per cent. of
the entire crop. and the farmers will there
fore suffer a large loss for which they will
be compelled to increase the mortgages that
now cucumber their plantations. 1t does
not pay to raise cotton at cents a pound
except under the most favorable circum-
stances. Thinking men argue that there is
no loss without some gam, as the experience
of this Season will drive many planters to
raise other and more profitable crops. Plant
ers' associations have leen organized in all
OF the Southern States expressly for the
purpose of limiting cotton culture and en-
couraging diversified crops. They have even
gone so far as TO ask planters to sign
pledges to reduce their acreage 5, 10 and 20
per cent, but habit is strong and new
crops necessitate the education of the
negroes, which is more trouble than the
planter cares TO take.

The Milwaukee Journal says: 1T is I'M
derstood in transportation circles in this
city that few years of such business ac-
tivity and surplus of money in foreign in
vestment will bring an Independent railroad
line to Milwaukee that will give us a direct
connection with the Southwest and will
connect with other trunk lines that will be
practically direct connection with every
part of the West and Southwest to the
coast The fact that the in and out freight
of the city amounts to $40, 600 a year is
attracting the attention of New York capt.
that will build a line from this city to such
places as will give them direct connections
at an advantage with the country with
which Milwaukee is doing immense bust
ness. and ought by every right to get to be
doing larger business" A gentleman well
posted in railroad matters said at Milwau-
kee yesterday that the matter is we'll in
hand. and that the proposed line will be an
absolutely independent one.

The stockholders committee of the Central
Ohio Railroad appointed to negotiate with
the reorganization managers of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad reported yesterday
that they were unable to secure better terms
Ind recommend that the terms of the re-
organization managers be accepted. To
avail themselves of the offer made by the
reorganization managers the stockholders
must deposit the stock on or before Dec. 81
with the Maryland Trust Company. After
that date the offer will be withdrawn. This
action of the committee may have an i'm
portant bearing on the method of procedure
in carrying into effect the plan of reorgani-
cation of the Baltimore q Ohio Railroad.
if it's recommendations are followed the OPP
position of Central Ohio stockholders to the
plan of reorganization is ended. AS prac-
tically all other dissenting forces have been
Modified, the completion of the reorganiZa-
ton of the Baltimore & Ohio without fore
closure is. in the opinion of many, reason
able possibility. 1t is known that the syndi-
cate has been striving to get matters in such
shape as to avoid foreclosure and so pre-
serve the privileges which are enjoyed under
the present charter of the company The
chief value of this charter is in the fact
that it gives liberal exemption from taxa
