The Alamogordo news. (Alamogordo, N.M.) 1899-1912, 1900-03-15

The special issue OF THE News is called
a "mid-wlnter number" not because Of
conditions here suggesting mld-winter
.(for there is no winter in Otero county,
but for the reason that majority OF the
readers OF the paper have homes In
the northern and eastern states It is a
decided stretch of the imagination to
refer TO mld-winter In a climate which
has no slelghtlng, no snow fall of sulfi-
eient magnitude to cover the ground
twenty-fOur hours, and where the people
have already donned summer under
wear. But in view of the fact that the
daily papers of the east and north
chronicle snow and ugly weather, and,
too, considering the snow blockade in
st. Louis last week, the reference is
really not so bad
1t is the aim OF the issue ID set forth
the true existing conditions in Otero
county at the present time. and to
review the phenomenal progress made
In the past year and half-greater
Substantial porgress than was ever

EXCITEMENT AT GALVESTON
AN OPEN OFFER TO BUY BY Eus-
TACE TAYLOR.
Said To he Very Large.

Galveston. Texas, September b.-Eustace
Taylor today made an open offer to buy all
the cotton that can be delivered TO him here
between now and September % at the price Of
0 s-le cents per pound. basis middling,
Cotton is reported as selling at the depots
In the interior Of Texas today for 9M cents,
basis middling.
Spots we're advanced here &c, and an active
and urgent demand was reported.
The short interest in spots in Texas is said
TO be very large, so large in fact that every
bale that is likely TO come into sight this
month must be bought to meet these en-
gagements.
OF the Galveston people there were only
two or three who expected this excitement
Principal among the bulls has been Eustace
Taylor Usually he is bear. but since he
came back from his trip to the North and
England he has been the biggest Kind of Il
bull. He has been conspicuous In the buying
during the last few weeks.
a large amount of freight room for Sep
tember loading is said TO be engaged. Cot
ton will have 10 come forward much more
rapidly than interior receiIrs promise or the
engagements will not all be filled.
The brightest feature OF the whole day s
proceedings, in tho opinion oil Galveston trad
ers. was the reported purchase of 500 900
pieces of dry goods at Fall River such a
sale VIII mean radical pdyGnce In the goods

advance in goods the strength of cotton Will
be increased and there viii! be more legitimacy

A BIG BOOM In COTTON.

tive course is visible from this distance. n

no matter what price the consumer may be
willing to pay. In other words. the present
case differs from the famine OF the Ameri-
can civil war only in degree and prospective
duration. The real significance of the exist
iug status rela!es TO the commanding posi-
tion which the American producer is thus
given. as to the crop of 1900, II appears from
Secretary Hester's annual report that. despite
the Indian famine and the Chinese war, the
consumption OF American cotton for the last
twelve months has been no less than HOE,
900 bales. With the favorable monsoon, pros
poets In Britain's great dependency are rather
on the mend although cholera is ravaging
certain sections. II the Chinese complica-
lions should be smoothed over and the new
crop should prove to be distinctly less than
100000, the trade would be quite sure TO
find itself In a cul-de-sac. The more one
studies the question, the greater is one &
admiration for the courage OF the underwrit-
ers. Fancy the bull paying a premium of go
points for October over September while
the statistics showed that there was cotton

either united or cut. For the present, the
members OF "The Order Of the Sacred Goat
should be left alone. to try conclusions with
