The Supply of Cotton.

If the reports from Northern
mill districts are to De taken for
granted, the amount of raw cot
ton New England mills now
have on hand is liable to become
matter of considerable imports
ance before the middle or latter
part Of September.
In the Fall River district the
mills are said to have =, SIS cotton
in sight at the present time than
in several years and all pur-
ChaSeS mad tiNm now untl II e
new crop is on the market will
have to be at p1}Ces Con 1derably
in advance of tn which have
obtained dulin the past several
weeks.
1t is estimated that the stock
On hand in Fall River is but
$4,000 bales, as compared with
$4,000 bales al the same time
last year. The Fall River Daily
Herald gives the estimated re-
ceipts this year at 20S, $40 bales,
as compared with 37o,67I bales
last year, and 343,44I in 1898.
The tot II receipts for the season
of 1899 were 385 24I bales as
compared with 356,5I9 in 1898
and 3o3,803 in 1897. The fact
that there was a large stock on
hand at the beginning of the
year has helped the mills out
considerably, but as the receipts
for the past two months have
been comparatively sma | and
the prices were high, 1t was in
all probability as much due to
this as 10 the lack of orders for
goods that fastened the curtail>
ment movement.
The situation, of course, will
be relieved to some extent by
the action of a number of the
mills in resorting to the tour
weeks's shutdown The rate
of consum ption has, necessarily
been considerably reduced, but
even this is not expected to
have much effect on p csc It
prices.
Manufacturers are buying as
little cotton as possible. and TINS
til the new crop is on the mar
ket prices will be watched as
closely as at any time afterwards.
Several of the mills are said to
have enough on hand to r1n
them 10 the end of the year,
while othors have only enough
to last them about four weeks.
AS regards Southern mills,
little or no apprehension is felt,
as it is generally conceded that
the majority of the mills have
an ample supply on hand, and
in several cases some mills are.

Value of Technical Education.

Speaking of and to the South,
the Philadelphia Manufacturer
says: Since you have barely
begun to develop industrial and
commercial communities, a
word, if wisely backed by evil
dence. will not be out of place.
You have every reason to rejoice.
You have at your disposal i'm
perial riches. Your resources
surpass those of any people in
Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe
or South America.
No part of our people. unless
possibly those Of the Pacific
slope, have anything like your
resources. Even they lack your
cotton. What are you going to
do to develop and utilize your
resources In the first place
you will act wisely if you put
away your politicians and put
statesmen into their places.
This, by giving confidence, will
coax capital to come inside your
gates.
AS soon as you can possibly
put in industrial, industrial art,
technical, commercial, CONNER

need well-trained help. Lack

That illustriotls astronomer, Profess

North American Review, gives an
amusing instance of the ignorance even
OF the most prominent politicians re-

1T is said that some 30 years ago the
British academy had printed few cop
ies Of an important work for preScnia-
tion to some foreigners who. from their
prominence In the scientific world were
best entitled to be honored with the
gift. Professor Airy. the astronomer
royal. was requested 10 make a selec-
ton OF the names. 4 few days after
be had sent IA his list he was Informed
by the secretary of the admiralty that
my lords were struck by the number
of unknown names included and that
they wished TO make an inquiry on the
subject Airy asked the secretary for
some specifications as to the names re-
ferred to.
"'Well. as an example, said the sec
retary, here is the name Of Professor
G. +. Gauss of Gottingen. Who is het'

An EnEIIshman,s Manners.

in saying that ''the English would sure

up sauce with piece of bread if they
themselves had ever had any sauce
worth mopping up" 1t may be that
the Englishman's perfection of deport-
ment at meals comes in part from q
lack of temptation to do otherwise.
But the truth is none the less apparent
that the complicated conventions re-
garding what TO do and what to avoid
at table that obtain in England do
not in any way involve that outward

abhors. He can obey them without
prejudice to his impassivity. And this

s~indl,n~ n Bank.

presented himself at a certain national
bank and laid down check for $1,000.
1t was signed by well known whole
sale whisky house. and upon the back
were the words, Identification waiv-
ed" At the same time n well dressed
man entered the office of a live stock
firm at the stockyards and asked if he
could wait in the office, as he expected
a telephone message. He was told that
he could, and he took n seat near the
telephone.
Down in the bank the paying teller
was asking who the holder. of the
check Rhew. He said not many firms,
as he was q stock dealer. but if the tell
or would call up Mr.. Smith of Jones &c
Smith, the well known brokers at the
stockyards, he would find out that he
was all right. The teller called for the
number, and when the ring answered
he asked for Smith. The man on the
end said he was Smith. and he at once
gave Brown. the'holder, the amount of
the check.
When it was discovered that the
check was a forgery, there was an aw-
fUl kick, as Smith said Brown was as
good as gold. Smith declared that he
had talked TO no one. and the result
was an argument between Smith and
the bank teller. No one knew about
the accomplice answering the phone,
and the result was that Smith took his
account from the bank, and no one
ever knew who it was who answered
