Mrs. w A. Whitsell, a widow, and
her two small children were burned
TO death yesterday at their home,
about four miles northwest of Far
mersville. One of the children,
about 9 years old, was sent to
kindle fire in the kitchen stove,
and used the oil can, and had
started the fire, but thinking it had
gone out took up the can to pour
more oil in, when it exploded, en-
veloping this child and another,
about 7.years-old in flames. The
mother, who was sick in bed, went
to the rescue of her children and
was so badly burned that last re-

until about midnight last night.
The dwelling and contents were
also consumed.

opened points lower, declined l adj
ditional shortly after on the large port
receipts, but subsequently advanced
points in consequence of the late i'm
provement in Liverpool and the light
Houston estimate. Near the close
values eased off slightly, owing to SELL
ing against spot purchases, making the
net gain l point over Saturdays quo
tations. Notwithstanding port receipts
for the four days are $4,000 bales In
excess of last year and the exports TO
Great Britain show an increase of 10000
bales over last year, during the same
time, the semi-weekly interior estimate
was $4,000 bales less than last year,
therefore, no inclination was exhibited
by operators to sell. The fact of the
mater is, the general opinion has
grown that the bureaus estimate VIII
be 10, 300 900 or under, and pending the
issuance of this document shorts have
all covered, being averse to entering
into new engagements until the report
has been officially promulgated. From
present indications it looks as II the
market will continue steady in the
interim unless receipts increase ue-
cidedly.

NEW ORLEANS CoTroN FUTURES.
Prices Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 26.-On the 18th of
Sept, last l issued a circular in re-
gard to the cotton crop of 1901-19O2.
which basing my opinion upon the
closest possible analysis of the wealth
err conditions that prevailed for the
six months ending the LIST of Septem-
Der, 1901, as compared with the wealth
er conditions for the previous nine
years. 1 stated it as my belief that
the cotton crop for the year 1901-19Os
would not much exceed 9,500,000 unless
as result of an exceptionally favor
able autumn the yield should be great
ly augmented.
Within three weeks killing frosts
and freezing weather have been gen.
orally reported throughout the entire
cotton belt, and it may be accepted
that the growth of the plant is finally
at an end.
Recently several parties having the
reputation of crop experts, have pro-
mulgated estimates ranging from TO-
100000 to 11,250,0o0 bales for the crop.
The resulting divergence of opinion
with regard to the size of the crop
is, therefore, greater than almost ever
previously, and with view of aScer-
tanning the truth as accurately as pos
sible, / have been at great pains TO
make a further investigation on the
subject. The very exhaustive report
of the United States census, issued on
the 28th of September, has afforded a
basis for this investigation that has
never previously existed. In this re-
port the census has been able accu-
rately to determine through advices
received from some $4,000 ginners, al
most exactly the number of bales pro-
duced last year in each county in the
cotton belt. According to this report
the cotton crop for the season ending
the list OF September, 1901, (omitting
virginia) was produced in 761 counties,
and the total of the crop as given be-
low was 10,474031 bales.
Taking this report therefore as a
basis of calculation, I have caused to
be addressed to three parties in each
county, a return postal card, asking
the estimated production for the coun-
ty in which the person addressed re-
sides.
On each of the postal cards so ad-
dressed, I caused to be filled In the
production of the county according TO
the census, last year. thus making
clear the exact scope of my question.
To this inquiry I have S31 replies COW

counties not heard from, 10i produced

I may be safely assured / have re-
plies from a very large proportion OF
the entire belt. AS a matter of fact
the replies received include counties
which last year produced 80 per cent.
of the entire crop, and I'm my opinion
the investigation may therefore be
regarded as decidedly comprehensive.

1t seems hard to believe, in fact, it
is almost impossible to believe that the
crop will be as small as the reports,
indicate. Those experienced in the
compilation make an allowance for the
pessimiSm naturally prevailing in agri-
cultural sections as to the crop out
turn, and in experience l have found
that an allowance of about eight per
cent. is the equivalent of this factor.
On this basis the indicated CROP fig
ured from the above returns would be
1929, Ill bales.
In any case, it would seem absolute
ly safe to me to assume that it is
hardly within the range of probability
that the crop can exceed, 800 COO bales
1t is not possible that S13 reports from
$40 counties, each covering only the
production for a maximum radius of
thirty miles and made without refer
ence to any other portion of the state
or cotton belt, could uniformly indt-
cate such reduction in the yield as
compared with last year unless that
reduction were very substantial. The
above conclusion is still further con-
firmed by an analysis of the compare
tive crop movement to date. For the
past ten years the proportion of the
crop in sight on Nov. 80. has averaged
SOIL per cent. The most rapidly NOV
ing CROP was that of 1S96-97, which
turned out S,714,000 bales, and of which
4,74S, 900 or "a. 40 per cent. had come
in sight on Nov. 80, and the slowest
moving crop was that of last year, of
which 4,S1S,000 or as. 40 per cent. was
in sight Nov. 80. Up to the evening
of Friday, Nov. o. there had come
into sight of the present crop, 4.294,S50
bales, a liberal estimate of the amount
to come into sight for the balance OF
the month is 100000 bales, The amount
in sight to Nov, 30. this year there
fore, Will be about 4.744,S50 bales. If
the movement of this crop has been
as rapid as the average, the yield is
9,460, GOO. If it has been as fast as
the fastest the yield is 100000, and
if it has been as slow as the slowest
the yield is 10,220,000. I believe the
movement has been an average in Tex
as early because a drought forced an
early maturity of the crop west of the
Mississippi in the Atlantic states, late
because of excessive rains. The. eX-
tremely slow movement last year,
which was the slowest on record, was
due to two causes, e., the storm In
Galveston early in September, which
completely tied up the railroad system
of Southern Texas for nearly the en-
tire month, and so cut off the section
portion of the early movement. and.
second, the enormous speculation in
cotton in progress q, year ago, which
caused very general holding back,
Neither of these influences has been
operative this year. On an average
movement the crop will be $3.50, 600,
and I believe this will be found about
the outturn.

days transactions were about half
million shares less than those of yes
terday. The unsettling influence OF the
apparent decentralization in Amalgam-
ated Copper was supplemented to a
degree by a sharp recovery in foreign
exchange, which awakened some re-
newed questioning over the resources
of the money market for the remain
der Of the year The lessened supply
of exchange is doubtless due to the
completion of realizing on what might
be called speculative purchases OF ex-
change which have been recently made.
But a reaction in sterling exchange In

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 27-Amalgamated
Copper went through varied move
ments in to-day's stock market and
finished unchanged from last night.
The course OF this stock was a. pretty
accurate index OF the general market
throughout. The days net changes are
seen to be very small as rule and
considerably mixed, although the ex-
treme range of prices was
considerable.
A notable fact in connection with the
constantly changing course of prices
was the consistency of the movements.
Sometimes the course of the market
would vary distinctly three times with
in an hour, traversing each time an
average range OF nearly point. Yet
the whole list moved pretty much in
unison, there being no apparent con-
flict in the tendency of the prominent
active stocks. The opening dealings
reflected a distinct effort at bull DEM
onstratlon for an advance, the trunk
line stocks being selected for leader
ship. Amalgamated Copper was also
supported in the opening trading, but
the weakness which quickly developed
in this stock was reflected In the whole
market, and so with It's subsequent
changes. The stock fell by successive
stages and very uncertainty 90 rs and
recovered with frequent reactions TO

The markets were in the main fea-

Them either way. Cotton closed 8
noints lower to 1 point up, stocks were
steady, and the grain markets at Chi
cago eased off considerably. This was
IN be expected after the rapid rises of
the past few days, which carried prices
TO a ponit at which it was not hoped
10 maintain them. The reaction was
looked for, and will doubtless go fur
ther before prices settle down to a
trading basis.
Sentiment continues mixed as to the
size of the cotton crop, which is the
principal topic among the trade. The
total figures will have more influence
than any other one thing in fixing
values, and for this reason everybody
is intensely interested in finding out
what the outturn is probably to be.
Theodore H. Price of New York, the
erstwhile leader in bull campaigns, is
out in a lengthy circular, in which he
fixes tde yield at s46O,00e bales. From
the painstaking manner in which Mr..
Price has arrived at the figures he
gives, it would seem they are entitled
