delegation. Mr.. Hollis was comparatively
unknown before the conference, but 1t

strong men OF the conference Owing to
his appointment on the committe d'eX-

role than any other OF the

best use of his unique opportunity. Apart
from the article introducing the special |
mediation which bears his name, he was
chiefly instrumental in introducing the

The Maximum Recorded Year In the
United States.
Washington, July Gothic report OF the
geological survey on the production of iron
orc for the year 1898 has been completed
by Special Agent John Birkbine. The
year recorded tho maximum iron ore pro-
ductlon for the United States, a total Of
l9,2lS,369 long tons. This was 1,760, 0i6
long tons produced In 1897 and over one
and a quarter millions above the record for
Great Britain in 1880 when 1926. o49 long
tons were mined. The ores OF the British
Isles also aggregate lower percentages OF
metal than those exploited In this country
and therefore represent smaller pig
metal product. The variety of iron ores
produced includes red hematite, the out
put OF which was So per cent OF the total
and brown hematite which was 1913 per
cent of the aggregate product Magnite
and carbonate ores make up the remain
ing 81 per cent.
The total output in long tons OF all vari-
cites by states was: Michigan, 7.S46,Si6;

OKLAHOMA COTTON.
The Acreage Equals Last Years,
which Grew 10000 Bales.


Guthrie Ok. July 3o.--oklahoma's cot
! ton crop for the season OF 1889 was much
greater than was expected. careful estl-
I mate shows that ,is5 bales. for which
the growers received about s.l50.o00 were
marketed, Low prices and difficulty In
getting pickers to harvest the crop OF
lS97-S had discouraged many growers who
said In the sprilg OF 1898 that they would
reduce their acreage for the following sea
son. Many buyers who inspected the fields
last summer believed that the acreage had
been decreased and were of the opinion
that the output would be between $4,000
and $4,000 bales
A careful estimate compiled from the
most reliable sources showed that the crop
OF 1898 amounted to 1875, GAO bales. Okla
homa has no official department for gath
ering agricultural statistics, and persons
who desire reliable estimates are forced to
investigate for themselves. In estimating
the number Of bales produced In 1878, Il
statement was obtained from the different
railroads in Oklahoma showing the total
number of bales received by them for ship
ment during The period between September,
1897, and February, 1898, inclusive, which
covered the time when most of the cotton
was put on the market me same metnOu
has been followed in estimating last sea-
sons output, with the difference that the
railroad companies were asked to report
the number of bales received for shipment
from September /, 1898, to April 80, inclu-
sive. Each railroad which had compress
on its line, excluded from its figures the
cotton received at compress stations for
COMPRISING.
About rs per cent OF last years cotton
averaged mddling grade and above. The
other e-fourth was below. The average
price for the season was about $4.S5 hun
bred pounds. The highest price paid at
Guthrie was $3.50.
The outlook this season Is for excellent
cotton. There has been plenty of rain and
the plants are In a thrifty condition. The
acreage for the entire territory is believed
TO be about the same as last year. Some
counties such as Logan and Eastern Payne.
show marked decrease. but elsewhere 1t
is not believed that the difference will be
great. Some parts of Oklahoma are pecu-
llarly adapted to cotton raising and as 1t
is sure crop here the farmers in those
localities will always raise It, whether the
market Is high or low.
