Bradstreet in a recent report of the
business situation says: "The textiles
are relatively the worst situated of all
the industries. The slowness of de-
mand for cotton goods on domestic ac-
count has been the cause of redution
of print cloths of 3.l6 cent, which, fol-
lowing the decline of ! cents last week
makes a net decline of 5-16 cent in ten
days. Export business, however, is
better, Wool is quiet, mills buying
only to fill immediate wants. The
crop situation at present is quite en-
couraging. Iron trade production nat
urally appears to be catching up with
demand in the cruder forms first.

SECRETARY Root will issue an order to
reduce the nnmbsr of troops in the
Philippines to 100000 availables. This
is 10000 less than an aggregate hereto
fore regarded as sufficient, and re-
duces General McArthur's estimate by
10000. The reasons which have led to
this determination began with the fav-
orable reception, year ago of the Taft
Commission, and the wholesome ad-
miuistration of the local affairs of the
people of the Philippines since the
Commission was placed in power. The
capture of Aguinaldo, with his accep-
tance of American sovereignty, and
the surrender of his leading associates
in the insurrection, are circumstances
that have also made it clear that it will
no longer be necessary to keep large
force of troops in the archipelago.

PRESIDENT McKinley's trip through
the Southern States to the Pacific
Coast has been a triumphal march.
Down to New Orleans and thence
ll..-- Texas, he has been hailed by
the populace en- mGsse, with every
demonstration of respect and patriot
ism. The demonstration wherever he
went could not have been greater. In
one of his speeches he said:
ut is your business as well as mine
to see to it that an industrial policy
shall be pursued in the United States
that shall open up the widest markets
in every part of the world for the pro.
ducts of American soil and American
manufacture. We can now supply oui
own markets. We have reached that
point in our industrial development
and in order to secure sale for our sur
plus products we must open up new
avenues for our surplus. / am sur
that in that sentiment there will be n,
division, North or South.

Notwithstanding the new election
law, the disfranchising of illiterates,
and the consequent falling off in the
negro vote the Republicans carried al
most every ward in the municipal cleo

they carried eighteen. At the election

1t is an interesting fact that over 1000

this connection is that applications for

The land-grabbiing propensity OF
the European Nations has been the
marked feature in the policies of the
past 10 years or more. Expansion,
more land, has been the European
watchword until they assume that
Asia and Africa have no right to the
soil, they cannot defend against more
aggressive nationalities that have
powerful armies.
The London Times announces that
under the two agreements concluded by
Lord Salisbury with the French Gov
ernment in 1898 and 1899, the more re-
cent agreement with Germany, and an
agreement, yet unpublished, between
France and Spain, the partition of the
Dark Continent is now complete, moth
ing remaining but boundary delimita-
tion.
Any statement of ownership, protec-
torate, or sphere of influence in Africa
the Times presents figures which it be-
lieves to be nearly correct. The total
area of Africa in round numbers is H.
10000 square miles. In the apprOpri-
alton of territory France leads, having
1904, ,974 square miles. Great Britian
comes second with ?, 713, ,91O. and Ger
many third with 933, $50, which is doing
well, since it was late in joining in the
scramble. The remainder of the terri
tory is divided as follows: Italy, 1888,
500 square miles; Portugal, 100, 1874;
Spain, 1863, $50; Turkey, S9s, 300; Egypt,
100000; while the seperate States,
Abyssinia, Morocco, Liberia and
Congo Free State represent the remain
ing l, ,49l, 900.
France easily leads in the race so far
as superficial area is concerned, the
Sahara region swelling its total, but if
Egypt and the Anglo-Egyptian Soudan
were absolutely English Great Britian
would closely crowd France in area.
AS it is, so far as political and trade IN
fuence is concerned, Great Britain
leads in Africa, in spite of the tremen-
dous and almost ruinous price it has
had to pay for its latest acquisitions.
The novel feature in this PARTON is
that it has been accomplished by the
Powers without conflict with each
other The smaller ones have been
made to yield their pretensions to ac-
commodate the bigger ones, and the
latter have amicably divided their
plunder. The sufferers of war have
been the original owners, though in
more than one instance they have made
the grabs frightfully expensive to the
.grabbers. Africa having been appro
priated and Asia having been divided
with the exception Of possible scram
BILE in China, the world, with the ex
ception of the regions adjacent to the
North and South Poles and some o
the outlying islands, seems to be wei
taken up, SO well, in fact, that tn
anti imperialists ought not to be ap
prehensive as to the dangers of Ameri
can expansion.

Murphy & CO... Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 10.-The Liverpool
cotton market to-day advanced sharp
ly for spots, while sales there were
the heaviest for any one day for
month. New York followed with ear
ly sales at 10 to IA advance. Private
reports had it that Manchester was
waking up and it was believed that
spinners there hold out very small
stocks. Besides this it was stated
that the Russian crop was damaged by
locusts, and there were signs of a
combination to advance prices of the
near months at least. Local traders
were more inclined to support the
market and shorts were growing ner-
vous, especially since receipts keep up
on a light scale as compared with last
year. Ports to-day were estimated ST.
900. against $4,000 last year. Speculation
was dull after the initial proceedings,
and both sides were indisposed to go
on. In the Liverpool market there was
an advance of 2 to points with Octo-
Der excited at 8 points advance. The
scarcity of desirable cotton continue
to be a source of anxiety to manufac-
turers New England spinners find
it difficult to secure such in this mar
ket and are understood to be securing
the South pretty freely and purchas-
ing in liberal quantities whenever OPP
portunity offers. The weather condi-
lions now monopolize attention, and
the expectations are that we may pos
sibly witness a lull in speculation un-
til there are signs of low temperature,

II. & II. Beers Cotton letter.

New Orleans, Oct. 10.-The large spot
sales in Liverpool and sharp advance
in the near positions was due to the
Manchester spinners becoming fright
ened owing to the small stock held III
that market. In sympathy with the
course of Liverpool prices here opened
to IL higher, declined later on
realizing in consequence of clear
weather prevalent through the belt and
predictions for a continuance of same
during the next thirty-siX hours. Sub
sequently, however, an improvement
of to IL from the bottom was estab-
lished on the firmness making the net
gain to IA points on the day. The
Liverpool weekly statement will be
very bullish tomorrow, as the exports

son to what they were last year. The
recent advances has been predicted on
this feature and while the stock there
will be comparatively light, it only
demonstrates that merchants and spin
ners have been apathetic and not dis
posed to buy any more than their
actual requirements. AS long as Liver
pool stock remains small 1t may cause
steadiness, but with the large supply
held in America, all that is requisite
to relieve the situation is free buying
of spots by English spinners. Under
present conditions the probability Is
there will be a widening OF differences

throughout the day, though trading
was restricted owing to the belief OF

New York, Oct. 10.-The market for
cotton futures started off steady with
prices up 10 to Is points in sympathy
with strong English cables the fea-
ture of which was the large spot sales
(2C,000 bales) at an advance of 3-32d.
The spot month in Liverpool was up
points with later months to points
higher. Following the call the market
continued to improve with January up
to S.04, at which level selling for
profits set in on a liberal scale and
by midday had carried the whole list
off to points. Light receipts, poor
crop reports, bullish statements from
Southern spot markets and firm ad-
vices from Fall River, helped to
strengthen local bull confidence. The
South. Wall street and Europe were
buyers here on all weak spots with the
sellers chiefly the bear faction. Large
foreign buying orders and active cover
ing along with investment demand i'm
proved prices rapidly with December
near the close strong at $40. On the
advance Southern wire stated that ex-
port demand for cotton had grown to
be something enormous and that do
mestlc spinners were refusing to follow
the advance in prices, leaving the mar
kets nearly all to the shippers.
In the last half hour the shorts be-
came fearful lest the English market
advance sensationally tomorrow on a
further stampede of the spinning ele-
ment in Europe, which is almost bare
of cotton. The local market closed
very steady in tone with prices net IS

ing the advance
