DECREASE IN COTTON ACREAGE.

There has certainly been a very ma
terial decrease in the cotton acreage Of
North Carolina, and reports to the same
effect come from other States in the cot
ton belt. The world, however. is not
yet convinced that the crop will be Il
small one. and claims of acreage red'lc-
ton are not having any appreciable eff
feet on the cotton market.
a letter from New York says:
'While many private reports indicat-
ing conditions not entirely satisfactory
have been received. the general dispcSi-
ton to ignore the complaints which come
to hand from the cotton belt at this sea
SON of the year, and consequently for the
present at least the reiterated claims OF
acreage reduction, complaints of damage
from various causes, etc. fail to arouse
any fresh speculative interest in the sta
pie or to impart to prices an impetus in
an upward direction"

Surgeon r. p. Jensen, of the First
Nebraska. the regiment that has done
such untiinching fighting in the Philip
pines, is now i'll Omaha, Nebraska. In
am interview he says:
Il really do not see how we are going
to whip the Filipinos. | presume II is
not exactly proper for me to say it
just now, but personally l do not rn-
gard the present war as justified, and
that sentiment prevails to a great de-
gree among our men. In fact, nearly
all of them look at the matter in tie
same light, and it somewhat dispilits
them to be warning against a race
which is fighting for liberty and indie
pendence."
Gradually the carefully prepared i'm
preston that because American soldiers
fight 'brayely in the Philippines rhey
are enthusiastic over the kind of war
they must fight is being dispel.cd.
