A CHANCE roR THE SOUTH.

The thought is being thrown out that
the rubber cree would flourish in some OF
the Southern States, particularly those on
the Gulf coast The demand for rubber
has increased a hundred fold within the
last few years and the demand promises
10 be very much greater in the near flu
tere.
Ii is stated that the trees of Brazil cam
not begin to meet the demand for rubber,
which how commands at Para, at the
mouth of The Amazon river. dollar 4

trees is hotter than gold mine. II the

OF the South they would speedily BECOME

more rgcGtable than cotton or anything
else adapted to the soil and climate of this
section An effort is being made 20 cult
waite the rubber tree in Southern Califor-
MIA. Capitalists arc willing 10 put q great
deal Of money in the experiment. If they
should succeed they would have an indus

country.
It is thought that the tree would flour

portions of Louisiana. Efforts. il is said.

THE CnTTnN CROP.

There is a great deal Of speculation as to
what the yield of cotton will be this sea-
son. 1t seems to be pretty well agreed that
the crop will fall considerably below Nellls
estimate of 12O00,000 bales. But how far
below? That is the question that is in
teresting everybody that is either direct
ly or indirectly interested in cotton. The
estimaes run all the way from 100000 TO
il 100000 bales, though there are very few
who contend for the latter figures. The
steady rise in the price Of cotton shows
that the weight of opinion is that the crop
will fall below the crop of cast year from
100000 to 5000 900 bales A well informed
cotton man of Columbia, S. c., Mr.. j. G.
Robertson, in a letter to Messrs. Latham,
Alexander & Co., of New York, under date
Sept. 90. expresses the opinion that the
crop will not go above 100000 bales He
arrives at this opinion by carefully com
paring conditions relative to the present
crop with conditions at this season of the
year relative to the crops of other
years. He finds that If he allows only O.
0OO.OO0 bales to Texas the crop will be
about s,674, 900 bales. but that il he allows
800 900 bales TO that state the crop win be
914 900 bales.
OF course these estimates cannot be con-
sidered wholly reliable, but they serve TO
show that throughout the cotton belt the
feeling is that the crop is a short one.
This unanimity of opinion is pretty con-
elusive that the estimates which place the
crop around 100000 bales are not very
far out of the way.
Cotton is bringing seven cents at this
port now. and il would not be at all sur
prising if it should command eight cents
before the end of this month. If the crop
is as short as il is generally believed TO be
there will be a scramble for cotton be-
fore many weeks The Southern mills are
of the opinion that cotton win be no cheap
err, and they are buying freely at prevail
ing prices That their policy is a wise one
win probably be clearly demonstrated in
side of a month. The spinners who are
holding off for a lower market will be dis
appointed-at least the indications now are
that they will. Farmers, wherever they
can, are holding their cotton, and unless
all signs fail they are safe in doing so.

success and a failure. 1t was a success in

in the fact that there was not wind

According to an officer of the corps of
engineers of the army, since the organiza-
ton of the corps there have been but three
men belonging to it to be accused of
wrongdoing. One of these was Capt. Car

was stationed at Cleveland and was
guilty of misapplying moneys entrusted to
him, and Maj. Lydecker, who had charge
of the cons tructon of the very expensive
and extensive water works for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Lydecker was not
charged with the misappropriation of
funds, but was held to be guilty Of neg
Iect of duty in allowing contractors to use
poor material.

pokiug along in advance OF a Withholding

gun, with jack rabbit making long leaps
