enormous and ran up TO 40, UOO DaleS.
Another week or two Of selling like
the past and our receipts will outstrip
those of last year and prices will
continue to sag down. The crop is
short, but it seems as if the farmers
are anxious to get it out and market
it all at once.
There have already come out num-
Der of estimates on the probable yield
of the crop this season. Nearly all
the statisticians in this country figure
the maximum yield all the way from
$500, 600 to 10, 200, 600. It is only from
Europe that we have estimates placing
the probable yield at 100000 and
over. Nj. Bu.ston, who figures for the
European spirners, anticipates a large
yield, and it has been rumored recent
| ly that Mr.. Neil would issue bearish
circular. All the reports from Texas,
Indian Territory and Oklahoma indi-
cate loss of a million bales on the
crop this season for that section as
compared with last season. Arkansas
is said to be short 200, 900 bales, and
Tennessee 65, 600 bales. This would
indicate shortage of 1,250, 600 bales,
and the other states east Of the Mlssls-
sippi must make up that shortage in
order to have this crop equal to that
of last year. 1t is generally under
stood that aside from Mississippi none
of the old states will produce much
more than they did last year, some of
them not as much. Hence the ques-
tion naturally arises, where is big
crop to come from? We all realize
that there is but little or no top crop in
any of the states, and that in nearly
all, sections the crop is fully matured
and opened Many fields have already
been picked clean, and the gathering
of the crop is rapidly drawing to a
closed. Mess1s. Scott & Strinqfellow,
of Richmond, Va, have recently is
sued circular estimating the yield of
the present crop at 9,771, 5SS bales,
their estimate being based on the gov
ernment report issued October l, 1901.
In their figures they give an increase
to the following named states over the
crop of last year: North Carolina,
1877, $50 bales; South Carolina, 234,
1913: Georgia, 1863, S4S; Mississippi,
231, l57; Louisiana, 104, 712. Total in

Prohibition the Issue.

Topeka, April 1.-The prohibitory is
sue forms the principal bone of con
tention in the fight over the various
municipal elections in Kansas today.
Since Mrs. Nations crusade and the
temperance upheaval which followed
both sides have become convinced that
the outcome of the municipal elections
this spring meant much for or against
the prohibitory law. The opinion is
current in some quarters that the mat
ter of resubmitting the prohibitory
amendment to the people rests in a
large measure with the result of to-
days election. Hence the interest in
the outcome is great.

prevailed in Ohio yesterday for the
municipal and township elections.

dicated more interest than usual in
these local contests. This was due
to the fact that a full state ticket is
to be elected next November, together
with members of the legislature, who
will choose Il successor to Senator For
aker. In some few localities legis-
llatiye nominations were made by a
popular vote. None show any oppo-
,sition to Foraker among the Repub-
slicans and there was not enough ac-
tioll of this kind to Indicate any prefer
ence for John r. Mclean, Tom, T..

cratic fayorite for the senatorship.
While the Democrats carried the
larger cities and some of the smaller
places, vet the Republicans show slight
gains in the state as whole.
At Columbus, where the Republicans
have had the city government. the
Democrats elected their mayor by a
close margin. while at Cleveland ex-

of the Chinese authorities to CON
