THE NEXT COTTON CROP
Planting Delayed-Labor S~carce-In-

Production.

New York. April 1S.-Dun's trade re-
view, of April Goth. will say:
Reports from numerous branches and
many correspondents of r. G. Dun &
Co.. in the cotton belt. indicate that
cold weather and. in most sections, in
cessant ain have delayed planting for
the new cotton crop. The season IS
about two weeks later. Acreage will
exceed last year, though cancellation
of some early orders for fertilizers show
that the increase in acreag will not be
as large as the higher price for cotton
prevailing earlier in the year seemed
to justify. Sales of fertilizers have
been far in excess of last year and
there will be a larger use everywhere.
In n Atlantic coast states rains
have been very heavy and in some
places farm work was wholly suspend
ed. There is much difficulty in obtain
ing labor. hands being fully employed
in commercial industrial lines at higher
wages. One estimate is made hat on
account Of higher wages for farm
hands, there will be an increase in the
cost of fertilizers and of many food
products. The cotton crop this year
will cost at least one eighth more to
raise and gather than last year. Con-
ditiOnS are much the same in every
section of the south.
In the southwest a considerable in
crease in acreage is reported, n
lands put down in winter grain de-
stroyed by insects will be r%eplanted in
cotton. Georgia cotton mills are run
ming full time. but in other sections OF
the south there has been considerable
curtailment of production. A number
of new mills are in courS Of erection,

Il SESSION
SEEMS

Washington. Ian. 1.-THE brief rec
concentration in the message of the
President to the senate urging imEc.
diate legislation in the interest of the
Filipinos, caused great surprise among
senator's, and occasioned speculation
upon the probability of an extra SOS
sion of Congress Immediately after
March 18th. Senators generally say
they have no intimation from the
White House that Il special session of
the entire Congress may be desirable,
but they unite as one man in saying
that no Philippine legislation is posi-
BILE during the remaining five weeks of
the present session.
The short SpOOner bill, vcsting all
power for the government of the Phil.
ippinc archipelago in the President, is
the only Filipino general bill. 1t is be
lieved that whenever an carnest eff Urt
is made to secure legislation beaTILs
upon this subject much time will be
required. Some senators also express
the opinion that legislation may be
necessary in connection with the Gu
ban situation, and while there are diff,
fcrcnces of opinion as to this necessity
all agree that If such action should be.
come necessary 1t would be impossible
