In some quarters there is a DISPOSE
ton to discourage the effort cotton
planters are making to hold cotton
for 10 cents a pound. There is no
particular reason why this effort
should be discouraged. It will not be
important enough to affect the move
ment of the crop to any appreciable
extent. The farmers will be much bet
ter satisfied if they act on their own
judgment in the matter. Some of them
VIII, doubtless, hold their cotton, but
the great majority of them will dis
pose of it as fast as it is ginned, pro-
vided the price is at all inviting.
Last year similar advice was given
to farmers. Fortunately but a few
acted in accordance with it, Instead
of advancing the price declined, and it
is considerably lower now than it was
at The beginning of last season. Mer-
chants who bought largely, particu-
larly of the sea island variety, Jared
badly.
There is a fair prospect that the
price Of cotton will advance. The re-
ports from Texas are far from favor
able, and it is certain that in many
parts of this state rainy weather
is doing cotton great deal of dam
age. But it is too early to say whether
the crop will be an average one or a
large or a small one. Many things may
happen to influence the size of the crop
before the cotton season is very far
advanced.
Distressing reports are being received
from some of the counties of this state
A disease has made its appearance that
is causing the cotton to rot in the bolls.
How far-reaching this trouble is 1t is
impossible to say, but it is certain that
the disease is doing a great deal of
damage in several counties.
1t is said that the demand for cot
ton goods is hardening. If that is the
case the demand of the home mills for
cotton may be so great as to have
marked influence on the price of cot
ton. The outlook for a good price Is
very fair. and the farmers may be so
fortunate as to get 10 cents pound. 1t
is to be hoped they will.

Senator Hanna and other promoters
of the ship subsidy bill must feel ag-
grieved at the action of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company in ordering
two immense steamers built for the
Pacific and China trade. Only recently
the Great Northern Railway Company
ordered two steamers for this trade, to
run in connection with its lines of road
The steamers are to be the best turned
out from the shipyards of this country
and will compare, when completed,
with the finest in the world.
Senator Hanna and his friends have
been telling the country than in order
to maintain American lines of steam
ships ii is necessary to subsidize them.
Indeed, the argument that they are us
ing is that it is impossible for Ameri-
can lines to compete with British or
German lines without subsidies. 1t
seems that the foregoing railway COM
panies do not think so. They are going
to build and run steamships whether
the ship subsidy bill becomes a law
or not 1t is probable that they have
not taken the subsidy question into
their calculations. They have figured
out a profit in steamships without a
subsidy. If they get a subsidy they
will be just that much better off.
The fact that these railway com
panies are going ahead building mag
niticent steamships to run between
ports of the Pacific and Chinese ports
is strong argument against subsidies
for steamship lines, and that it will
be used with telling effect when the
ship subsidy bill comes up in Congress
again there is no doubt. Throughout
the present summer there have appear
ed articles In the protection papers
containing reasons why the ship sub
sidy bill should be passed. No other
evidence is needed that a strong effort
will be made to pass the bill next win
ter.
Senator Hanna has a great deal OF
influence in Congress and there will
be strong lobby, in all probability to
assist him, but it would not be at aE
surprising If the opposition to the bill
should be fully as strong in the pres
ent Congress as it was in the last In
that event there viii be no law enact
ed giving bonuses to shipbuilders and
steamship companies.
