PRICE. MCCORMICK & CO.,
Have To-day Issued the Fol
lowing Circular:
New York. April !. 1gr

New YORK, April J, 1900.
We beg to call your attention to the fol-
lowing suggested figures in connection
with the absorption of cotton for n period
of three months between December Goth,
1892 and March 31st, 1900.
Tho visible supply of American cotton
on December Goth, 1899, according TO the
Financial Chronicle. 3,6G0,7l2. On
March 3lst the visible supply OF American
cotton was 2.76.523. Representing de-
crease during the three months OF Ssi,1S9
Tho total crop in sight on March 3lst was
S.nl,76t. The crop i'll sight December goth
was 5,792o25. making the net in sight for
the three months 2,al99S9. This represents
an absorption of cotton from the Visible
supply for II weeks, after allowing for the
additional crop movement in the same pc
riod OF 3.2Oi.12S or at the rate of 2G7, Coo
bales weekly. There Will come in sight
during the balance of the season to Sep
TENDER lst. say probably not more than
100000. which, added TO the visible sup
ply OF American cotton on March 3lst of
2.HG523 will give a total supply of Amer
lean cotton available for the balance of
the season OF 3.976,523. Assuming that the
absorption for the remaining % weeks Of
the season will DO at the rate indicated
above. namely, 26700O bales weekly, the
amount required would be Gill ,OCO repre-
senting deticlty OF nearly 2lGi,iE
Should. however, the absorption be at the
rate of only 100000 bales weekly. the
amount required would he 1850, o0o. repre-
senting deficit OF nearly 7Oo,Cc0 In
either case it seems clear that the s;tua-
ton will approach pcrlously near cxhaus-
ton before the end of the season, ana as
we are reliably advised that English spin
ners can pay six pence, and American
spinners ten cents per pound for cotton on
tho basis Of present prices for goods. IL
seems to us not improbable that cotton
will sell ut this figure before the price will
have any effect upon consumption.

Rank Looted by Rebb.r..

-Four men wrecked the Farmers bank Of
Embden, ILL.,, early Wednesday, securing
all the funds, between $1,000 and $4,000.
When the robbers discharged their first
blast of dynamite, the explosion aroused
John Alberts, who hurried TO the bank.
One of the robbers, on guard in the street,
seized Alberts, bound him hand and foot,
and dragged him into the bank, where he
witnessed the gang drilling into the vault
door, making ready 4 second blast. When
the fuse was lighted the robbers stepped
outside, and Alberts lay in the corner
when 1t off. He was not seriously injured.
The second blast unhlnged the vault doors,
and the robbers made of with all the cash.
Securing handcar they pulled In the d.
rection Of Delaven. There they were met
by Night Patrolman Sanford, who attempt
ed TO arrest them. One of the robbers
fired, and Sanford fell, MORALLY wounded.
Outside the town the menboarded passen-
ger train on the Chicago and Alton, and
all traces of them were lost. The bank
building was almost complete wreck, and
the vault was entirely ruined.

BECAUSE SHE LOVED HIM 30.

GIIIette'S Latest Comedy Success Per-
formed Satisfactorily I'm the AudIto-
RUM Friday Evening.
No cleaner, brighter, more wholesome or
more mirth- provoking comedy drama has
been presented on the local stage in recent
seasons than William Gillette's adaptation
from the French of Bison and Leclercq's
because She Loved Him &c." which was
seen in the Auditorium Friday evening.
Manager Fox would have had difficulty in
selecting piece which would have kept
up the standard of his seasons entertain
ments thus far and at the same time have
contrasted so delightfully."- with the attrac-
tions which have preceded it. The moral
of because She Loved Him So" is that 1t
seeks to point out the utter baselessness of
jealousy in the majority of instances.
A young wife finds upon her husbands
coat two long hairs and traces of favorite
perfume. The audience has seen the SER
want girl purposely place them there in a
cleverly conceived scheme to get an "even-
ing off," A stormy scene follows, and the
wife, refusing to listen to reason, goes
home to her parents, between whom not a
cross word has passed during their 80
years of married life. The husband goes
also, to refute whatever charges his wife
may make, and they are filled with dsmay
at finding the old couple in the throes of a
violent word battle. The battle is purely
sham, gotten up for the purpose of bring
ing the young couple to their senses, and
it has the desired effect. News then comes
to the young wife that the servant girl has
confessed to having been the cause of the
trouble, and the righteousness of the whole
affair is then apparent to her.
Miss Clara Dlckey, as the young wife,
was the star Of the cast, impulsive, but re.
fined, and always doing the expected thing
Thomas David was very good in the part
have been little more expressive without
weakening the character. r. O. Turner aud
Effie GermOn, as Mr.. and Mrs John Weth-
erby, the young wifes parents, interpreted
their parts with excellent judgment. All
of the other parts were well taken.

improving Fitohbure Railroad.

The Boston & Maine railroad is now
handling over the Fitchburg division
between 500 and 1000 cars of eastward
bound freight daily, and about $4,000
cars are now in sight between here
and Chicago which will be TUNED over
to the Fitchburg if the latter can take
care of 1t, says the Boston Advertiser.
The Maine found the Fitcbburg rolling
stock badly run down. The locomo-
tives had been neglected. and in con-
sequence extensive repairs have been
necessary since. The Maine has or
dered rs new locomotives for use on
the Fitchburg division. All but three
or four are freight locomotives. 1t
is only a question of facilities for
handling the freight offered to the
Fitchburg, and with adequate equip
ment the division will show a good
operating profit to the Maine. At
present there is much congestion.
There were two fatal accidents on
the Fitchburg division of the Boston
& Maine Saturday morning. James
II. Mulany of this city, car inspec-
tor. was killed at Williamstown by be-
ing run over. The accident was due
to the failure to have 4 switch turned
as was expected. George Wander
berg of Williamstown. a brakeman,
was killed in the Hoosac tunnel by be-
ing run over by a train from which he
fell,

The Connecticut letter in the Watch
man (Baptist) contains the following con-
corning former Brattleboro minister and
his church: "When DR.. F. j. Parry be-
came pastor OF the First church of Water
bury three years ago he found the church
carrying debt of $11 900. he announced
his hope that the entire debt would be
paid In three years. Sunday, Nov. 4, was
the third anniversary of DR.. Parry's pas
torate. At the beginning of the morning
service there remained of the $l1, 900
about $1,000 TO be raised. At the close of
the service every dollar of the debt had
been pledged and the bulk of it actually
paid into the treasury. This is only one
of the many instances of the success of
this pastorate. This church led the state
last year in the number of baptisms. Pas
tor Parry has very strong hold upon the
city of Waterbury. On the evening of
Nov the church gave Mr.. and Mrs. Par
ry a reception"
