OUTSIDE CAPITAL FOR TEXAS.

English investors have always manifest
ed rather more confidence in our great
Southwest as a field for promising invest
ments than has been exhibited By capital
lists OF our own country. English and
Scotch loan companies have In the past
put out large sums OF money In Texas,
English capitalists have invested extern
siyely in ranch properties, and in many
other directions British capital has aided
in developing this State.
II we can once get this kind OF money
coming regularly and In large volume into
this State fer permanent investment, we
shall be independent of Eastern centers Of
our own country in working out the great
Industrial aud commercial problems now
before us. For some years yet we Will
need the aid OF large amounts OF outside
capital to put Texas where it ought to be
In the procession of material develop
ment, and 1t matters little where the
money comes from so 1t comes. There is
home capital in Texas, any amount OF 1t,
but It has been. and still Is, singularly
backward about taking hold of the mani
scented.
A dispatch from Kansas City, published
In yesterdays Post told of the prospects
of the early embarkation of immense
sums of English capital in the develop
ment OF coal and oil fields in the Indiar
Territory and Texas. Prospectors had
travelled over the Territory and this Stat
lie
would be to the effect that the SouthweB
was possibly the most inviting section TO
day in the United States for the invest
ment of capitall This is the conclusion
that is reached by every intelligent visitor
who makes an inquiry into the condition
here present and promised Once this
English capital begins again to come gu
way, the volume OF investments may b.
confidently expected to grow rapidly. /
was only the general depression that over
took Texas. as we'll as all other portion
of this country, some five or six years ago
that temporarily checked the inflow Of
what then promised to be complete SUI
ficiency for our wants OF foreign capital
1t is especially gratifying to note, as in thl;
information from Kansas City, that atten
tion abroad is again being directed to thi
particular section.
y is very certain that Texas must groy
rapidly within the next few years. and OK
perience greater material progress thai
ever before. II our home capitalist
do not seize the opportunities for maxim
big profits. We can rest assured that othc
moneyed men and agencies Will. Their

best chances for making big money wi

We might prefer to see it otherwise, b.

titled to the rewards who accomplish Il

THE NEXT COTTON CROP.

The cotton market Is likely to show con-
siderable animation within the next few
weeks. as by the latter part of April some
definite estimate OF the new crops acre
age can possibly be made While the acre
age frequently fails to determine the crop,
the increase or decrease in planting fur
nishes the spectators with an argument
and they always make the most of such
information.
For the coming season weather and crop
conditions will be watched with unusual
interest While there will be plenty OF old
cotton to supply all demands between now
and September /. there Is no assurance
whatever that the world will raise such
quantity as will be needed for the next
commercial year. The demand for the sta
pie this year has been the greatest ever
known, and had not there been two mon
ster crops In succession n cotton famine
would have confronted the commercial
world the coming summer
II is safe to say that the demand next
season will be even greater than hereto-
fore, and that any marked decrease In tbs
acreage, or any disaster to the crop, Will
/ cause big Jump in values. On the other
hand. another record breaking crop, added

AS to present conditions there Is much
difference of opinion but on the whole 1t
can be safely asserted that the weather In

case in Texas however for In this State
the farmers are from two to three week,

The TRUST OF ALL TRUSTS.

The news in Fridays Post to the effect
that efforts were being made to perfect
big cotton mill trust was Just such lnfor-
nation as many thoughtful people have
been listening for-the very magnitude o.
such an undertaking rendering It espe-
cially seductive to the multi millionaire
trust promoters In the East
1t would not be likely that at nrst even
a majority Of the cotton mills in the couu-
try, East ana South, could be induced to
enter such combine. But II the New
England mills should form a trust and be-
gin TO cut prices and inaugurate bitter
warfare, backed by immense capital
against the independent mills, such Sc
rious threads would likely be made In
the business of the latter that many OF
them would be forced to the wall or into
the combine. The trust would gather
strength year by year, until soon we
should cease to hear OF the erection OF new
mills because OF their poor promise Of
profits.
In the meantime what promises to be a
monopoly OF baling and handling the raw
cotton crop would be going on. When the
two monopolies were perfected 1t would be
question OF the longest purse between
them as to which should force the other

be a new trust. composed OF those con
