Demand Increases Enormously and the
Supply Is Short.

Demand Increases Enormously and the
Supply Is Short.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
The cotton seed oil market is in a
state of wild confusion. So unsettled
are the conditions that the two leading
manufacturing concerns in the trade
have refused to make any contracts
whatever for the future delivery of oil.
Prime yellow summer in large quan.
titles was sold in the New York mar.
ket last week for 80 cents per gallon,
when the highest price obtained last
year at this time was 223 cents per
gallon.
So strong is the situation that the
trade generally is looking for 40 cent
oil before the first of next month. The
causes leading to the advance this year
are two fold, the scarcity of seed at
home and the short production of olive
oil in Italy and the Mediterranean Sec
ton.
The season is fully three weeks late
this year and it cannot be said to have
fully opened even now. The crushers
through the south are complaining
that they cannot get seed enough to
begin crushing, and up to date not a
gallon of new crude oil has been Of
fered on the New York market.
Seed is selling at twice the price it
sold last year. In Texas there have
been sales as high as $lS per ton, de-
livered at the mills, while the maxi
mum price last year was 50 per ton,
and some sold as low as S6.
The development of the cotton seed
oil industry has been marked within
the past five years. Where only one
third of the seed crop in former times
was utilized for making oil, it has
grown until now two-thirds of all the
seed is converted into merchantable
product, instead of being spread upon
the ground as fertilizer.
Europe has also learned to substi-
tute cotton seed oil more and more for
olive oil. The use of oil in cooking in
Italy, France and Spain, and in fact
throughout the continent, has so in
creased that the olive crop has been
insufficient to supply the demand even
in a bounteous year.
The demand for cotton seed oil as a
substitute or for the purpose of mixing
with olive oil has grown to enormous
proportions. The exports from the
United States have grown from $780,.
700 gallons in 1889 to 40,230,7S4 gal
Ions in 1898. There is practically no
oil on the market at the present time,
and there is a large demand.

AN UNsoUGHT PARDoN.-Among
the stories of that former governor OF
Texas Familiarity known as Sam Hous'
ton is more than one amusing tale.
There was financial agent OF the
penitentiary who had warmly opposed
the election of Governor Houston but
was particularly anxious to retain bis
own pleasantly lucrative position
Consequently the governor was soon
in receipt of petition in which the
mans years of faithful service and
special qualifications for the place were
set forth in glowing terms by himself.
The governor sent for him and said
gravely, "It appears from this petition
that you have been in the penitentlary
eight years."
II bave," was the reply.
"And during that time you have per-
formed faithfully every duty that has
come in your way to the best of your
ability ?" =.
81 have" answered the agent, bis
courage swiftly rising.
"Then, sir" said the governor, with
the air of one comforting a priceless
favor, ~ pardon you out P'-Youth's
Companion.

serving game out of season, visited the
restaurant in plain clothes and ordered
dinner:
"Waiter, partridge for me-"
The inspector finished his dinner lei

"Ask the proprietor to step this way

"What for?"
"I wish to notify him to appear in

Humorous department.

He HAD ENOUGH OF IT.-A farm
er who was possessed of some means
entered the office of his county paper
and asked for the editor.
The farmer was accompanied by his
son, a youth of II years, and as soon
as the editor, who was in his secret
sanctum, was informed that his visitors
were not bill collectors he came for
ward and shook hands.
"I came ter git some information, "
explained the farmer.
"Certainly," said the editor, sand
you came to the right place. Be seat
ed"
The farmer sat on one end of the
table, while his son sat on the floor.
"This boy O. mine," he said, "wants
ter 90 into the literary business, an l
thought you'd now eff thar wuz any
money in it or not. It's a good busl-
ness, amt it ?"
"Why-yes," said the editor, after
some hesitation. "I've been in it my
self for Is years, and you see where
I've got to-"
The farmer eyed him from head to
foot, glanced around the poorly fur
nished Office, surveyed the editor once
more, then, turning to his son, who
was still on the floor, said:
"Git up, John, an 60 home, an 60

s@ General Meigs was the architect
of the pension Office in Washington,
and was inordinately proud of his
achievement. When General Sheridan
inspected the building, General Meigs
accompanied him.
Sheridan went thoroughly over the
structure from top to bottom without
passing any comment; but when the
inspection was completed he turned to
his guide with:
"Well, Meigs, I have only one fault
to find with it,"
"What is that, sir?" asked the de-
lighted ex-quartermaster-general.
"It's freproof," replied Sheridan.

FIST FIGHT ON A BATTLE FIELD.

FIST FIGHT ON A BATTLE FIELD
A writer in the London To-Day re-
lates some interesting stories about Sir
Redvers Butler, who has been appoint
ed to the supreme command at the
Cape, and vouches for the authenticity
of the following: "It was at the time
of the Zulu war. Buffers horse, which
had been skirmishing to the front,
were suddenly taken 10 the rear by
their commander for reasons that were
of course cogent. A war correspon-
dent who was with the fighting lines
was dissatisfied, and expressed his
contempt for the leader, who had
thought the move necessary. BILL
Beresford, Nord William) who was on
Buler's staff at the time, overheard
and took the grumbler up sharp, de-
claring that he would not allow his
chief to be abused. The correspon-
dent was not to be put down, repeat
ing his aspersions. You must take it
ali back or fight me-" cried the pugna-
ciously loyal Beresford. Come, on,
then,' sturdily cried the other, and
both jumped off their horses and fell
to at fsticuff, then and there, alone,
their own people fast disappearing
over the veldt, and the Zulus coming
on hand over hand. 1t was not until
Butler missed his aid de camp, and
hearing of the minor encounter in
progress, that he sent back an escort
to bring the two combatants in. The
story is a strange one and by no means
discreditable to either soldier or news
paper man."

HAGERsTowN FREE LIBRARY.
Efforts of the. Trustees to Raise
100000 for a Building

Hagerstown, Nd, Jan. 19.-The trus-
tees of the Washington County Free Lii
brary have issued an appeal to the people
to contribute $4,000 for the free library
building. AS soon as the money is raised
Mr.. B. F. Newcomer, of Baltimore, will
give S50, 900 as an edowment fund and Mr.
Edward w. Mealey will give one of the
most valuable lots of ground in Hagers-
town for the site The Washington coun-
ty commissioners and the mayor and coun-
ell of Hagerstown have entered into an
agreement to levy. the former $500 an
nually in perpetuity and the latter 81, 200
annually in perpetuity for the running eX-
penses of the library, and as soon as the
$50, 600 for the building is assured the
money will be levied. If the people fail
to raise the fund, Hagerstown will lose
the library. Much opposition has develop
ed on the part of some taxpayers to the
levying of the sums of money for the run
ming expenses. A good deal of the objec-
tion seems to come from people outside of
Hagerstown. who claim the library will
benefit mainly those in the town. The OBJ
ject of the projectors is to make the libra
ry free for everybody in the county 1t
is generally thought the $4,000 will be
raised. The taxes. town and county, would
be increased only about 2 lilo cents on
the 500 for the support of the library.
