Visible Supply of Cotton Smallest Since 1890
New Crop Poor
Especial to News and Observer

NEW 1ofk, April 2S.-Ihe visible
supply OF cotton is the smallest since
lo9o When cotton sold at Is cents.
Inc consumption was about fifty per
cent greater. The extreme prices
seem inevitable. We shall be glad if
you Will give the widest possible pub
llclty to this telegram.
New York, April 2S.-Price McCor-
mex d Co., i'll their circular publish
ed today state that the visibly supply
OF cotton as made up by the Finan-
clal Chronicle this morning is only
2.50S,0O0 bales. This is the smallest
visible supply since 1890. when it Wa
100000 bales less and cotton sold 4
1874 cents in New York. The con
sumption of American cotton i'll 1890
was about 7,750,000 bales This year,
according to Ellison's own admission
it is 100000 bales. The British
spinner is commencing TO recognize
the situation afresh and spot cotton in
Liverpool today is 5h pence within
"a of the lowest figure reached this
season. \ recount of the New York
stock will probably be made next
week and will in our opinion, show
that 1T is over estimated by 10000
bales. This will leave the stock avail
able for delivery on contract here
hardly over $4,000 bales which is sup
posed to- be an adequate projection
for short interest that is varIously
estimated at from 100000 to 100000
bales. The situation is strong beyond
precedent and cannot fail to result in
extreme prices for cotton. Ten cents
and even II and ~ cents a pound for
August delivery cotton seems quite
within the range of possibility The
bears i'll Liverpool and New York have
all the season been selling paper cot
ton in the vague hope that it would
supply the demand for the real arti-
Gle 1t is probable that they will this
season realize that phantom cotton
is an Elusive reliance against short
sales. As regards the news crop reports
reaching us from the South they are
uniformly poor. TSeen is said TO be
$50 per ton. We should be glad if
those reading this circular will write
us giving the crop situation as it is
apparent to them at the moment
Should there be indications of new
crop failure the situation would be
without precedent since the war.

ALASKA,S BIG STEEL BRIDGE
Work Commenced on n Cantilever
Structure, the First of Its Kind
in the Far North.

Skagway advices state that the White
Pass & Yukon road has begun the con-
struction of an sos foot steel cantilever
bridge, the first of it's kind in all Alaska.
1t Is to span one OF the deepest gorges
along the line of that railroad Division
Engineer Alfred Williams has charge of
the construction. He set large force OF
men at work ten days ago.
Good progress is reported on the large
Caribou Crossing railroad bridge. The
piles have been driven and the central
pier is about completed. II Is expected
that the structure will be ready for use
by the time the track is laid between
Bennett City and Caribou. Six miles of
the road have been completed north from
Bennett and IL is expected that the line
will be in operation from Skagway to
White Horse early in August.
