Washington, Dec. 3.-The statistician
of the Department of Agriculture reports
9,674,000 bales as the probable cotton pro-
duction of the United States in 1912.
The area picked or to be picked is es-
timated at 26,SO2, ,239 acres, reduction of
0,216 acres, or &c per cent from the
acreage planted.
The total production of lint cotton is
estimated at 1929, ,954 900 pounds, an aver
age of 169 pounds per acre picked or to
be picked.
The estimates production by States. in
pounds of lint cotton per acre, is as fol-
lows:
Virginia, 49,, North Carolina. 142;
South Carolina, 141; Georgia. 1877 Flor
ida, III; Alabama, 156; Mississippi 205
louisiana 26O; Texas, i159; Arkansas,
173; Tennessee, 1856; Missouri, 1876; Okla
homa, 1876; Indian Territory, 214.
In addition to the Departments or
dinary crop reporting agencies $1,000 gin
ners and 5000 bankers and merchants
have furnished valuable information con-
corning acreage and production The gin
ners have also reported the amount of
cotton ginned between August 10 and No
vember 20, this year and last year, with
the average gross weight per bale and
the average weight of bagging and ties.
This has enabled the statistician to as
certain the average net weight of the
bales for each separate State and for
the entire cotton belt, and these weights
have been used in determining the total
number of bales produced. The average
net weight for the entire cotton belt is
1852 pounds, which is believed to be the
lowest average in at least ten years.
The large number of light bales being
marketed and also some reduction in the
proportion of lint seed cotton are objects
of frequent comment by correspondents
of all classes.

Whereas, said Maclay was, at the
time of the writing of the said history
and is now, in the employ of the Navy
Department of the United States, not

BILLS BY MR.. BELLAMY.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The flood of bills
is so great in the House of Represen-
tatiVes that the clerical staff was kept
busy all last night and nearly all day
today recording them. Representative
Brownlow, of Tennessee, led the list
with 252 bills and resolutions. Some of
the measures are:
By Mr.. Bellamy, of North Carolina, to
amend the national banking law so as
to permit national banks to consider
and treat their surplus as capital in the
restrictions on loans; to repeal the duty
on wood pulp and all other material
used in the manufacture of printing pa
pers and writing papers, and to reduce
the duty on manufactured printing pa
pers
By Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, to modify
and simplify pension laws of the Unit
ed States; to prevent trespassing upon
and providing for the protection of
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National
Military Park; to provide for the erec-
tion Of memorial arch at Chattanooga.
By Mr.. Moon, of Tennessee, to create
territorial form of government out of
the Indian Territory and call it the Ter
ritory of Jefferson.

New York. Dec. 3.-The Government
report on cotton issued today, estimating
the crop for the season of 19O1-19o2, at
9 674 900 bales, has created great SEN
sation in the cotton market, and has re-
suited in an advance in the New Orleans
and New York markets during the three
hours after its issuance of approximately
one-half cent a pound. The report fully
sustains the crop estimates already is
sued by such representative concerns IS
Messrs. Latham, Alexander and Company,
Messrs. j. H. Parker and Company, and
the very full and exhaustive report re-
Gently compiled by Mr.. Theodore II.
Price.
Aside from the TACT that the indicated
crop of 9,674G00 bales is much below
what many alleged crop experts have
anticipated, the most important feature
of the report is it's statement that the
Average net weight of the cotton bales
for the entire cotton belt is 1862 pounds,
which is believed to be the lowest aver
age in the last ten years" This is
nearly IL pounds per bale below the re-
ported average ior last year, and the
shortage in the number of bales is,
therefore, rendered more pronounced by
a decrease of nearly three per cent in the
weight of these bales. On total crop of
$500, 900 bales, this is the equaliZing of
an additional deduction of 200, 900, so that
the cotton world, if the government re-
port be accepted as conclusive, land the
marvellous record of the department fer
accuracy in the recent past abundantly
justifying such an assumption) is con-
fronted with & crop supply of American
cotton of only 100000 bales.
Although the market has advanced
quite sharply today, it is doubtful if the
trade at large yet appreciates what such
a supply means. In order to correctly
appreciate the situation, we must 20
back to the season of 1S99-190O when the
crop was approximately 100000 bales
BY the end of that cotton year, notwith-
standing the fact that we started the
season with u visible supply left over
fro mthe previous crop of approximately
two million bales, cotton went to
pence a pound in Liverpool and II cents
pound in New York, and the mills were
forced to stop their spindles because
even at this price, he cotton was not
obtainable at the end of the season. We
commenced The current season with
visible supply of only $4,000 bales or
less than half that, 18th which we COM
menced the season of 1899-1900. TIE
crop, according TO the Government re-
ports, is approximately the same Thele
has been normal increase in the con-
sumption of American cotton, which is
now estimated by Mr.. Ellison, the ac-
cepted authority at between 100000
and IL 100000 bales. If the Government
estimate of the American crop is COR
rect, and the consumption continues at
the present rate, there would at the end
of the season, be an absolute vacuum il

THE CABINET MEETING.
Discussion of the Insular Decisions
Handed Down by Supreme Court.
lBv the Associated Pressl

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Dec. 3.-The Cabinet
meeting today was principally consumed
in discussion of the insular decisions
handed down yesterday by the Supreme
court. On the whole it is believed the
views of the majority of the court were
quite satisfactory to the administration.
The present tariff now in operation in
the Philippines, Mr.. Gage thinks will need
little or no revision. 1t was prepared
after the most thorough and intelligent
investigation, and is said to be highly
satisfactory to the business interests of
the islands. The preparation of tariff
on Philippine importations into the Uni
ted States, however is expected to con-
sumo considerable of the time of Con-
gress, but there is expectation that, pend
ing a final settlement of the question
Congress by joint resolution, may con-
tinue the duties imposed by the Dingley
tariff
The Secretary of the Treasury today
issued to collectors of customs in the
United States a telegraphic order direct
ing them to admit free of duty goods
imported from the Philippine islands.
Following is the order

Combinations in Trade.


During the last five years business con-
fidence has been restored, and the Ma
tion is to be congratulated be-
cause of its present abunding
prosperity. Such prosperity can
never be created by law alone, al
though it is easy enough to destroy it
by mischevious laws. If the hand of the
Lord is heavy upon any country, If flood
OF drought comes, human wisdom is pow
erless to avert the calamity. Moreover,
no law can guard us against the conse-
quences of our own folly. The men who
are idle or credulous, the men who seek
gains not by genuine work with head
or hand but by gambling in any form, are
always a source of menace not only to
themselves but to others. If the business
world loses it's head, it loses what legis-
laton cannot supply Fundamentally the
welfare of each citizen, and therefore the
welfare of the aggregate of citizens which
makes the Nation, must rest upon indi-
vidual thrift and energy, resolution and
intelligence. Nothing can take the place
of this individual capacity; but wise leg
islation and honest and intelligent admin
stration can give it the fullest scope,
the largest opportunity to work to good
effect. n
The tremendous and highly complex in
dustrial development which went on with
ever accelerated rapdity during the latter
half of the nineteenth century brings us
face to face, at the beginning of the
twentieth, with very serious social prob
lens. The old laws, and the old customs
which had almost the binding force CT
law uIito Snffpippf
late the accumulation and distribution
of wealth. Since the industrial changes
which have so enormously increased the
productive power of mankind, they are
no longer sufficient.
The growth of cities has gone on be-
yond comparison faster than the growth
of the country, and the upbuilding of the
great industrial centers has meant a
startling increase, not merely in the ag-
gregate of wealth, but in the number of
very large individual, and especially of
very large corporate, fortunes. The ere
alton of these great corporate fortunes
has not been due to the tariff nor to any
other governmental action, but to natu
raj causes in the business world, operat
ing in other countries as they operate
in our own.
The process has aroused much antagon-
ism, a great part of which is wholly
without warrant. 1t is not true that as
the rich have grown richer the poor Nave
grown poorer. On the contra uzFe
before has the average man, IN ware
worker, the farmer, the sma tra1
