COTTON SOLD OFF
ON THE START
Receipts Were Small But Sellers
Ignored This Fact
SOUTH SOLD CONSIDERABLE
A Singular Feature About the Stu
alton Was That Prices Moved
Contrary to Most Of the News

SOUTH SOLD CONSIDERABLE

New York, December 1.-The cotton
market opened quiet. with prices I'M
changed to a decline of points, and i'm
mediately sold off a few points further
under unfavorable cables, and fear
that too much long cotton had accumu-
lated in anticipation of a bullish bureau
report. Receipts were small, but sellers
of cotton ignored this feature on the
ground that the movement was being de-
layed by very bad weather, so long pre-
valent over the cotton belt, together with
a scarcity of cars and motive power, the
theory being that, the cotton Is lower
and will eventually come out in consid-
cradle quantities. While a few commits
sion houses bought scattering lines Of the
distant months notably March and May,
the south sold considerable cotton at
times during the session. as did also Eu-
rope. A singular feature about the situ-
alton was that prices moved contrary to
most of the news at hand. Not only was
gossip on the government report con-
sistently bullish, but receipts at the
ports and interior towns were under last
year, while exports were unusually
large, aggregating over 100000 bales from
the leading ports, or some 10000 bales
more than received necessitating consid-
cradle inroads upon stocks. The weather
news was still unfavorable. Thus, while
apparently we'll furnished with argu-
ments, bulls made no effort to sustain
the market, and prices steadily worked
lower throughout the afternoon in the
absence of public orders, and closed to
II points net lower. with the undertone
barely steady, and the trade more or less
short, particularly of March and May as
a result Of the days operations.

New Orleans, December 1.-The spot
cotton market was very dull today. An
overcast sky made 1t impossible for buy

tations 1-16c on all grades. Sales, 1850
bales, including 700 to arrive. Futures

Kansas as a Coke Center.

Southern Kansas should soon be
a great coke manufacturing dis
trlct, said L. Burnett Phillips, of
Philadelphia, a coal mine operator
and coke manufacturer of Pennsyl-
vania, who had just returned from a
trip in the Kansas coal fields. "Tbe
coal of southern Kansas contains
more sulphur than the coal of Penn
sylvania and West Virginia." con-
S-nued Mr.. Phillips. However, it
does not contain too much sulphur
to make good coke. The coal is
ground fine and treated by a special
process to make coke. The consoli-
dation of some of the big railroads
has made higher freight rates from
pennsylvania to Missouri river, and
for that reason the Kansas coke ov-
ems should do fiourishing business.

NATIONAL REVENUES.

Great Britain has increased its old taxes
and put on so many new ones that she
has increased her. revenues far beyond
what they were few years ago, but i'm
mense as they are they have not kept
pace with British expenditures. The Boer
war has cost more than ten times as much
as the highest estimate of its total cost
when the conflict began.
The increase Of the navy continues on a
scale of unprecedented grandeur, as it
seems to be the fixed policy of Great Brit
ain 20 maintain a navy that shall never
fail to be stronger than any other two
combined. In order to meet these require
ments and some other schemes requiring
great OUTLAWS of money, British taxes have
been increased very largely and variously
during the last two years and now pro-
duce no less than SIZE, 0O0 900 annually.
Ours is by far the richest country in the
world and its wealth is increasing far
more rapidly than that of any other ma
ton and yet the revenues of the United
States for the last fiscal year. amounted
to SIPS OOO, 600 less than those of Great Brit
ain, the total of ours being $5S7, 6S5, 1888. 1t
will be seen that taxes are much lighter in
the United states than In Great Britain
The Income tax-is one of the richest
sources of British revenue. having
amounted to STA. 900 last year.
The demand for a federal income tax
in the United States grows stronger con-
stantly and will inevitably prevail before
long.
Germany raises now about $500 zoo, 900 a
year by taxation. but the kaiser has plans
which require "a decided increase of the
amount. France bears the heaviest bur
den of debt that any nation ever carried,
and. consequently. her people are taxed as
hardly any others are. The interest ac-
count Of France alone exceeds $3.50, 900 900
a year, and the number of articles in
cluded in the French list of taxable OBJ
jects has recently been increased largely.

try. or she could not stand the levy that
