GENERAL REVIEW
 OF THE YEAR 1900

Continued from Thirteenth Page) tive channels, the volume of trade in the more stable spot markets has been large and profitable; in fact, prosperity mas been the keynote of the year.
 One of the salient features-pregnant with important developments-has been the close association of political events and commercial movements, following as a nat ural sequence, the effort to find more lucra- tive and larger markets, at home and abroad commensurate with the wondrous growth of American manufacturing indus tries. This expansion has been closely re- hected in the various markets for raw ma terial.
 Cotton.
 The excitement in cotton arose from the discrepancy between production and con sumption. The crop of last season being in round numbers-9, 100000 bales, while consumption of American cotton was esti- mated at Il, ,OOO, 900 bales. Wild speculation followed, during which came the failure or Price, Mccormick & Co. Throughout the upward movement sales were enormous. The commercial crop, 1S99-1900 brought up- ward of S364 900. The belief that the present crop will mot be over 9,75O, 900 bales caused renewed speculation, but the gov ernment estimate of 10, 100, 900 bales, togeth- CT with the reduction of about 1,000, 600 bales in estimated consumption of American cot ton has caused Hull in optional trading and reduction In prices.
 Cottonseed Products. Since 1870 the value of cottonseed and its products-oil, cake, meal, hulls-has in- creased to an enormous extent. In that year 1870, only about 4 per cent. of the to- tai seed was crushed; of the 1S99-1sOO croT 42 per cent of the seed went to the mills producing about 75,OOO,O 900 gallons of oil The market value of cottonseed products Is about one-tenth of the value of the lint; the 1S99-19OO cotton crop, therefore, lint ano seed. is worth over $4OO, 900, ,0OO the most valuable crop of any kind in the world eclipsing all previous records

The South and the Century.

From the Southern Farm Magazine.
 One hundred years ago the South, Spurred by revolutionary invention, set up an agri- cultural ruler. In short time King Cot ton became an absolute monarch domlnat- ing the South economically, politically and socially. Attempts to limit the imperial power by paying court to commerce and manufactures, in a measure successful, were frustrated for time by the conse- ouences of the Kings exercise of political influence Clinging in defeat almost or ne- cessity to the King which had made defeat possible, the South, mindful of early hopes and efforts, gradually loosened the hoiu or the tyrant and at the beginning Of a new century is developing a Democratic bal ance of the powers of agriculture, manu- factures and trade in which the dethroned monarch will hold an honored and infiuen- tial. but not dominating. place. Southern aericulture is to realize its greatest possi- bilities in diversifyng it's energies, putting forth its best efforts to provide Nvmg at home, and devoting it's surplus strength 10 the money crop, whether that be cotton, tobacco, rice or fruit. It will grind US own wheat and corn, fatten it's own cattle and slaughter it's own hogs. At the same time if will encourage the building of cotton mills and lumber mills, iron foundrles ana steel plants, the opening of mines or pnos- phate, coal, iron, lead and zinc the exten- sion of railways and the development or trade relations with foreign parts In the certain knowledge that thereby the oppor- tunitdes of the farmer will be vastly en- hancsd. .l-l.---

 Chestnut Croquettes. Two cups mashed chestnuts. Two tablespoons butter
 One teaspoon salt.
 Three yolks of eggs, beaten. Dash of paprika.
 Mold in balls, dip in yolk of eggs, then in bread crumbs. Fry in deep fat and serve upon slice of lemon.
 Chestnut Salads. . There are several combinations which are pleasing. Equal parts of chestnuts and celery or apples may be used. Some like the watercress and chestnut with French dressing for a dinner salad.
 For luncheon, chicken, celery and chest nuts in equal parts mixed with mayonnaise make delicious salad. Garndsh with eel cry jelly.
 The celery jelly is made by cutting up pint of celery, a slice of onion, boiled in pint of water; add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste, and two tablespoons gelatine and strain. A few drops of green coloring may be added for variation.
 Scraps for Memory. A turkey stuffed with chestnuts and gar nished with the dressing made into balls is an attractive dish for the holidays. To make rum or brandy burn best over pudding or coffee, first heat the rum or brandy.

SOLDIERS LOOPING IN CHINA
An Account of the Acts of the Allied
 Troops in that Country.
From the New York Post

From the New York Post
 A German-American in this city has just received letter from his nephew, who is now serving under General Chaffee in China. The writer speaks in strong terms of the footing and disorder by the soldiers, saying:
 "The atrocities committed day by day by the soldiers are simply hair-raising. l never would have believed that man can be so fiendish. Though of different na- tionalities in cruelty and wrong doing they are all of one kind, and naturally they are thoroughly detested by the natives. I should not wonder if one day the poor suf- ferers were to rise in wrath and slaughter every one of us At times even wish they would
 "The Germans boast much about their discipline, but, to me, they are the worst devils of the let. They rob and steal less than the others, but they inf1ict the most cruel and fiendish tortures upon the poor Chinese. for no rhyme and reason, ecept to torture. They take pride in devising some new and hellish scheme over which they gloat for hours. I can tell you, when I look at these arch-devils, especially at their dis gusting lieutenants I feel ashamed of my German extraction.
 "We are much overworked; so are those attached to other hospitals and sanitary corps. With the prevailing debauchery in all directions, sickness is rampant and med 1clne IS scarce. The Japanese are pest pro- vded and are very obliging when asked by other troops to help them out. The Russian and French have one panacca-they fill the men up with liquor and they get we'll or die. Wdth German soldiers it ds no instance. A private was in high fever, for which the surgeon had prescribed antipyrine, of which, however, there was only enough on hand for the use of commissoed officers. In default tine man was ordered tc take part in an etra drill. A few hours later the fever was gone, but so was the man."

BY MRS. E. G. STEVENS.

Chestnuts are a new and popular condi. ment for the table now, and can be pre- pared fin many attractive and appetizinS ways.
 While the native chestnuts have a fine flavor, they are So small in size that it takes more trouble and time to prepare them, and the large French nuts are to be preferred.
 The French chefs use them often for des- serts, and prepare them in lemon syrup with success.
 Following are a few simple formulas in which the chestnut forms the chief Item and which have used with success. First and foremost, in all cases prepare the nut first by boiling ten or fifteen min utes in order to take off the brown skin or hull. After the skin is removed, boil the nuts again until it is soft then rub them through sieve, and you are ready for mix ing in the following receipts:
 Chestnut TimbaIes. Two cups mashed chestnuts. Four tablespoonfuls sweet cream. Three well-beaten eggs.
 A little chopped parsley.
 Put into buttered tmbales and steam twenty minutes. Serve with cream sauce.
 Chestnut Soup. Two quarts white stock or milk. Three pieces of celery.
 One small piece of onion. One tablespoon butter
 One-pint mashed chestnuts.
 Chestnut Patties. This is one of Mary J. Lincolnis receipts: One pint of mashed chestnuts. Half-pint cream. Two eggs, well beaten.
