THE COTTON SITUATION.
Views of Col. SheppersOn on the Po-
sitiOn and Outlook.

A. b. Shepperson, In Textile America.
The present condition of the crop Is
very favorable. being better than last
average At this time of the past ten
years. Il must be added, however, that
the condition at this period Is no criterion
whatever by which to judge of the final
result of the crop. a drought in August
would utterly destroy the most favorable
prospect Of the last week In June, while
favorabl weather in July would easily
overcome adverse conditions existing in
June. In fact no great consideration
should be given TO the condition OF the
plant up to July 1. The critical periods
for growth and development come later
and the enormous crop of last year Is a
striking object lesson Of the influence OF
the weather conditions even after Oct
on the size Of the crop. While il is posi-
bic that the conditions hereafter NAV be
even better than last sason, and we may
make as large a crop upon a smaller acre
age, the doctrine of chances is decidedly
against either proposition. II one were
compelled to wager In any way upon the
matter it would be safer to bet against
matching either the last season or the last
crop.
the stock of cotton in American markets
IS &2,OO0 bales more than a year ago, and
our mills holds considerably larger stocks
than this time last year. when, IL win be
remembered, their supplies were unusual
ly small. The stocks In European mar
kets are 226 700 bales in excess of last wear
while the European mills have probably
100000 bales more than at this time last
season. Our mills and markets had very
limited stocks of cotton a year ago and
the present stocks in America and Eu-
rope are not excessive in view of the in
creased consumption over last season, and
the prospect over a stu larger rate of
| consumption In the early future. On ac-
count of the comparatively good stocks of
cotton in the markets and mills, and the
| very favorable reports concerning our
| growing crop, the spinners here and in
| Europe are generally Indifferent about
| buying even at the present low prices. and
this feeling viii be likely to prevail as
| long as crop accounts continue good.
During the past nifty years cotton has
not been as low in New York in June as
/ 1t is now, and very likely II has never been
so low here in June. This is also true OF
| Liverpool and il Is probably true of every
| European and American market That
| cotton Is unquestionabiy cheap compared
| with its value ia previous years Is clearly
| established by the above facts. Compared
| with prices of year ago, wheat Is still
! fifteen Q0 per cent. higher notwithstand-
| ing the recent heavy decline while corn,
| oats and mess pork are twenty-five (25)
| per cent. higher and sugar Us thirteen Q3)
| per cent. higher. Cotton is one and three
| eighth cents per pound, or eighteen QSl
! per cent. lower, and print cloths one-half
| cent per yard, or twenty (20) per cent.
| lower. 1t Is quite clear. therefore, that cot
| ton Is also cheap compared with other sta
! pie commodities.

GLOOM GIVES WAY TO GLADNEss

WashinEtOn's Fit of the Blues Dis
PEELED by the Late News.
Washington, July S.--lThe day has been
one of intense excitement
The strain which Washington has been
on since Gen Shafter reported the heavy
losses in Fridays lighting, and which was
accentuated by all sorts OF rumors of
American defeat about Santiago, was bro
ken about noon by the report from the
general commanding there. This was any,
thing but satisfactory or encouraging,
however
The urgent cali for achievements that
came from Gen. Shafter brought Wash
ington a hard dose of the blues, and 1t
looked as II the anniversary of the ma
tons birth would be anything but day
of rejoicing.
There Were highly important consulta-
tions and hurry orders for transports and
troops, and everybody Joined in the prayer
that Gen. Shafter might be able to hold
his own until Gen. Niles and reinforce
ments could reach the scene. Anything
better than this was not hoped for.
Suddenly there came the brightest kind
OF a ray through the dark clouds
1t was the news of the unexpected des-
truction of the Spanish feet
The President and members of his cabi-
net sat In the moonlight on the veranda of
the White House and discussed the report
or rumor and finally, shortly before mid
night, Secretary Alger relieved the strain
by stating that a dispatch had come from
Signal officer Allen OF the destruction OF
the fleet which has held Santiago harbor
and that unless there was someth sub
sequent from Admiral Sampson this tele-
gram would be given out
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen
then carried the precious message to the
war department end of the big building
over beyond the White House, and there
read II to the crowd of waiting newspa-
per men.
As the news spread through the city, the
streets were filling with people, and The
celebration of the glorious Fourth was
duly begun.
The day of rejoicing that has been look
ed forward to with so much eagerness by
the entire country since Gen. Shafter de-
clared he would have the flag flying over
/ Santiago by the Fourth, was shattered
by his message which told Of his unfavor-
able position, but the gloom caused by that
only served TO accentuate the rejoicing
that came with the glorious news that fol-
lowed.
1t will be another Fourth to be remem-
bered.

manga, has already received information
10 have fifteen regiments prepared for I'M
mediate movement.
Gen. Snyder's division. which was I'M
der orders for Santiago, included the fol-
lowing regiments: Eleventh and Nine
teenth Infantry of the regular army, First
District of Columbia, Second New York,
Fifth Maryland, Third Pennsylvania, one
Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indiana, and
First Ohio.
Gen. Garretson's brigade, now at Camp
Alger, is under orders also for Santiago.
Gen. Garretson's brigade is composed of
the Sixth Illinois, Sixth Massachusetts,
and Eighth Ohio Volunteer regiments.
The army officials. feeling that they have
profted by the experiences in preparing
the first expedition, say better plans will
be made with those to follow.
The Mohawk and the Mississippi, two
vessels of the American transport line,
just acquired by the government, have
facilities for about 1900 men and animals
and probably will be utilized in sending
aid to Gen. Shafter. They are now at
New York under orders for Tampa.

SPANS INTOLERANCE.
Missionary Board Wants Religious
Liberties in CarOIines.

Liberties in CarOIfnes.
New York, July 3.--The board of commits
sioners of foreign missions, whose opera
tons have been carried on in the islands
of the Pacific for nearly half a century,
has issued the following concerning the
boards alleged attitude on the question
of the status of some of these islands, which
VIII result from the war with Spain:
''lt ought TO be understood that the
American board does not NEEDLE in polti-
cal matters, and that at the present time
1t takes no part in discussions relating to
territorial acquisition by the United States
in any part of the world.
when our missionaries in a foreign
land are denied the rights which other
Americans enjoy, the Intervention of our
government is sometimes sought but on
principle, our board avoids seeking aid OF
the state in the prosecution of the mis-
sionary work.
"In view of the forcible Intervention of
Spain in the Caroline Islands, ten years
ago, putting a STOP to Christian efforts OF
our missionaries who We're there years be-
fore the Spaniards arrived, we deem Il
right to ask that whenever the status of
those islands is determined, ample guaran-
tee shall be required of whatever power
shall hold sovereignty that perfect relig-
ious liberation shall be enjoyed by the is
landers. AS TO what nation shall hold that
sovereignty we have nothing whatever to
say"
