The present Is the highest price reached
by spirits this season, and is the highest,
with the exception of last March when on
a speculative movement the quotation was
shot up to 80 cents, since the year of 1912
In February and March, 1892, the price was
40 and Al cents. In the previous year, In
July, 1890, it rose to 40la cents, remark
ably high figure for a summer month. Those
two years were phenomenal, anyway. In
the entire season of 1S90-91 the lowest price
reached was "a cents, and the highest 401R,
and in 1912 the prices 1uctuated from
SO1a 10 Al cents. Then came the rapid in
creases in the crop and the era of lower
values.

sgnees.
Sailing vessels were quite numerously
chartered last week to carry cotton from
Galveston to Europe, due to che low price
of cotton and the high ocean freight rates.
Cotton men say they can warehouse their
cotton aboard ship cheaper than on land.
The probabilities are that the price of
cotton will be greater within few months,
they say, than it is at the present time.
BY charterng sailing vessels, they get
thirty days time while only twelve is
granted with a steamship. In the sailing
vessels, the cotton can De put slowly into
the hold, and carefully slowed and com,
pressed. But the rate of insurance is
higher on the sailers, which shippers have
to figure on. The cotton men say they can
afford to carry the insurance, as they will
have disposed of their bills of lading and
have the use of their money all the time
the cargoes are afoat. In the meantime.
they expect to derive the benefits of adj
Vanced prices, for the vessels will be on
the voyage something like three months
to European ports. The rate of freight,
being less than by steamship, offsets the
increased insurance. Two sailing vessels
are posted az the Cotton Exchange for cot
ton cargoes, and 1t is reported that there
are negotiations being made for others.

SPIRITS MARKET BOOMING.

For the first time in November in eight
years spirits turpentine was yesterday
quoted at 81 cents. Nine years ago. in No
vember, 1890, the price was 1912 cents
This year this bids fair to be outdone. II
was freely predicted in naval stores trade
circles yesterday that before the close Of
the month 4Oc will be paid, and judging
from the eagerness with which supplies
have been sought in the past few days it
would not be surprising if the prediction
was verified.

Railways of the Universe

The United States claims nearly half OF
1.-THE whole of the worlds mileage OF rail
way-namely, 10000 miles This is equal
to seven and quarter times the earth's
circumference at the equator In proportion
to population, the United States has for
each mile of railway in Russia twelve miles,
in Germany or the United Kingdom five
miles, in Austria six miles and in France
four miles.
Persia has but one mile of railway for
every 1926 square miles, an area nearly
equal to that of Holland, or for every 294, 600
of its people.
China, with its seventy-three miles of rail
way, is in some respects in worse plight.
For each mile of railway it has population
equal to that of Yorkshire and an area
nearly as large as Belgium.
Japan is one of the most enterprising
countries. Although it has, roughly, only
one mile for every ten in the United King
