Haven & Stout, bankers and brokers. of
l Nassau street, New York, make the fol-
ioWlng comments on Mr. NeilTs estimate
or the coming cotton crop:
MI Neil 5 extremely bearish crop esti-
mate issued last Tuesday checked buying
ana coming as il did after a 5O-point rise
Inc week before, with the short interest
pretty well covered, ii gave bear traders
a favorable opportunity to hammer the
market This they did effectively, caus-
ing a material decline, leaving the mar
ket about where it was three weeks ago.
The estimate of Mr.. NELL in 1884, 1897
ana 1898 were quite accurate, and this
mas given his predictions unusual weight
III cotton circles, particularly at Liverpool
ana Manchester. He has not always been
correct, and while we do not take issue
with him, we think he is premature this
time. A great deal depends on the wealth
err and no one can foretell what that will
be-
Such bearish estimate is widely at vari-
ance with the government crop report is
sued on Aug. 10. The governments has
no interest to serve and is able 20 get the
most correct Information. Its figures
show condition of only 81. against 81
on Aus l last year Moreover, everybody
who IS a all posted acknowledges that
there has been considerable reduction in
the acreage. We certainly give more
credence 20 the government figures than
to those of any individual, and we would
also direct attention TO the activity in the
cotton manufacturing business.
Inc growing season is not over. After
the crop is made it has to be picked Bus
mess is expanding and stocks of manu-.
taetuted goods are no longer burdensome.

haps many years since there have been
so many absentees from Wall street as
during the present summer Also the To-
cal money market is in too uncertain a
condition to encourage excessive bold buy
ing. A surplus of only 100000 in the re-
serves Of the Associated Banks at the be
ginning of August is not a very hopeful
factor in prospect of the usual outflow
of currency 70 the interior during the
months Of August September and Octo-
Der. Indeed, such a meager surplus
would certainly produce a strong reac-
tionary tendency were it not that the large
accumulation of money at other banking
centers suggests a possibility that the
drafts of the grain states upon New York
may prove to he materially less than the
former average.

EMILE zOLA'S NEXT THEME.
He viii Write a Book on
the Unfortunate
Frenchman.

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
June 7.-Dispatches from Cayenne say
all efforts to interview Dreyfus have
been futile. He is now under the guard
of Captain Cachoux of the Gendarmerie
and four gendarmes. The prisoner is
apparently in good health, but seems
to be fatigued. The verdict Of the court
of cessation has caused a very favor
able impression here and in French
Guiana.
Captain Dreyfus will only resume his
uniform of artillery captain on debark
ing from the French cruiser SfaX at
Brest. Gendarmes under Captain Che
ceux have accepted the custody of the
prisoner The Isle du Diable has been
withdrawn from the control of the
prison administration, and, by a decree
of M. Mouttet, governor Of Cayenne,
been declared military territory.
Captain Dreyfus has responded to the
telegram of congratulations from his
wife, expressing his great joy in the
thought that he will soon embrace her,
their children and the members of the
Dreyfus family again. This prospect
alone seems to concern him. At all
events, there was not a word in the
dispatch on the subject of the new
trial.
His face, after the first manifesto
lions of joy at the moment when he
received the notification of the judg-
ment of the court of cessation, resumed
an aspect of tranquility and impas-
sivity, nor has he since betrayed any
sign of either JOY or anxiety.

Blonfontein Conference
Proves Abortive and Re-
suits Are Feared.

London, June THE Exchange Tele-
graph today publishes an interview
with a parliamentary secretary of the
colonial officer, the Earl of Selborne,
in which he is quoted as declaring that
the conference at Blomfontein, Orange
Free State, between President Kruger
of the Transvaal republic and the Brit
ish high commissioner and governor of
Cape Colony, Sir Alfred Miner proved
eminently unsatisfactory, and that
there is no probability Of its resump-
ton.
The Rt. Hon. Arthur ]. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury and government
leader in the House Of Commons, in
the course of a speech at a political
banquet this evening, said that the
failure of the Blomfontein conference
was a source of deep regret to the gov
eminent. It was Englands duty, he
said, not to allow her rights to be
trampled upon, but he did not believe
that the controversies were incapable
of solution,
