A W|hil lWind Sale
OF Cancelled Orders from
the Strike Regions of
Pennsylvania.

The great coal strike worked havoc
with the clothing merchants in tho coal
strike regions. many of the largest
stores cancelling their orders for Win
ter stock right and left. The manu-
facturers were at n great loss as to
what disposition to make of the i'm
mense stock cancelled. 1t was too late
in the season to think of selling them
by drummers, and as it would never do
to keep the goods over another year. as
the styles changed each season, and no
one wants old garments. the enter
prising manager of the Cannon Ball,
taking advantage Of the predicament
of the manufacturers. made an offer to
the well-known firm OF GarVett. White
& Co. of $4,000 for the cream of their
cancelled stock. This was n very low
figure. but money talks. and the offer
was accepted. The purchase was dis
tributed to the various branches Of the
Cannon Ball Clothing Company. The
Norfolk branch. 219 Main street, re-
ceived $4,000 worth of this splendid
stock. This magnificent line of cloth

COTTON EXCHANGE.
The Twenty sixth Annual Meeting
Was Held Yesterday at Noon.
Important Features OF the Trade for tho
Past Year Increased Consumption by
Southern nIills-Deoreased Acreage
Norfoll<s Receipts. eo4.a7e Bales-Eleo
ton of omoors on Wednesday Next.

The twenty-sixth annual (adjourned)
meeting of the Norfolk and Portsmouth
Cotton Exchange was held yesterday
ut noon. Fergus Reid, president, in the
chair. The report of the Board of Di-
rectors was submitted. We extract the
following:
THE cotton crop of 1S99-19Oo amount
ed to 9,436.416 bales, decrease of 1885,
42i bales from the previous year. and.
according to Mr.. Hester secretary of
the New Orleans Exchange, more than
80 per cent of the decrease was from
Texas and Indian Territory.
THE rapid increase In the consump-
ton of cotton by the Southern mills
has been an important feature of the
past years business. and has attracted
the attention of the trade generally.
The number of Southern mills has
reached the handsome total of 663, an
increase of 113 during the year, as COM
pared with 90 in 1S9S-'99.
The takings of Southern mills
amounted to 1887, 112 bales. an increase
of 1918 over the consumption of the
previous year. a very important fea-
ture of the consumption by our South
ern mills is the takings of the 367 mills
in North and South Carolinas, which
has been 4356S6 and 49T, Jag bales, re-
spectively. or total of 932.S32 bales.
The Importance of this is emphasized
by the fact that the production of these
two States amounted to 1,4S2, 900 bales
during past season.
The annual report of the movement
at Norfolk for season 1S93-1900 shows
that our net receipts We're Az. 903 bales,
as compared with 694,2I6 the previous
year. which is due to the reduction in
acreage and the occurrence of severe
storms about the time of the maturing
of the crop. ."
The reports of the receipts and expen-
ditures We're duly submitted and APP
proved, and estimates for current year
also laid before the meeting.
