hold, as Mr.. Price contends, only about

hold, as Mr.. Price contends, only about
half as much cotton as year ago. It
is Of interest that the New York FL
nancial Chronicle states the average
weight of bales Of the crop from Sep
tember 1 to January 81 at six and one
half pounds per bale less than the bales
Of the previous crop to the same date.
It will be recalled that the department
of agriculture, In its crop estimate of
December 8, stated that the average
weight of bales Of this crop would be
1853 pounds This would be about 20
pounds less than for the previous crop.
but The Chronicles record Of the ac-
tual movement shows the shortage In
weight to be really less than one-third
of the departments estimate.
The stock Of cotton in Liverpool on
January 80 and quantity afloat for
Great Britain on that date amounted
to q, 1000 bales more than the previous
week, and 1926, 900 more than for the cor
responding date last year. European
spinners now hold about 100000 bales
more than a year ago, so that the pres
ent supplies of cotton in Europe are
adequate for present wants. Mr..
Thomas, Ellison, Of Liverpool, cables
that on the basis Of an American crop
OF 10, 500, 900 bales, and European con-
sumption for the season estimated as
168, 900 bales more than last season, the
stocks on September 30 next will be
the same as last year at European mills
and 100000 bales more at European
ports. To reach this result he assumes
that 6,525,0O0 bales American cotton
will be shipped to Europe, leaving g.
975,0 900 bales for the United States, Can
ada, Japan and Mexico.
Last season the United States, Can
adian and Mexican mills took 3,684,OOO
bales. It is a conservative estimate
that they will take 100000 more this
season, and that Japan will take 2OO,-
900 bales, making 4,1S4,OOO bales, against
Mr.. Ellison's allowance Of 3,975,OOO
bales. Should this view Of the require
ments Of the United States, Canada,
Japan and Mexico prove correct, 1t fol-
lows that the share of our cotton for
export to Europe will be 100000 bales
less than Mr.. Ellison expects. and
therefore, that the stock of cotton re-
naming in Europe at the end of the
season will be that much less than Mr..
Ellison's estimates. Should Europe get
as much American cotton as my friend
thinks, then the American and Japan
ese spinners may have to pay literally
for the rather scant supply left.-Man-
ufacturer's Record, February 6.

Even Thanksgiving day found many

now is when there Is holiday to take
it. Men have discovered positive eco

Judged along these lines by this stand
ard the newspaper makers OF this state,
fresh from the regular annual price cut
ting contest before the various county
boards of the state, are neither OF the
trade or the profession. They are in
class by themselves. The principal thing
that binds the clans Of the physician or
the lawyer recognize among the very
first things-that it is what they earn
that makes them independent-and the
fee bill Isl what you run against when
you want physic or advice. The black
smith, the mason, the carpenter, form
unions and no punishment Is great enough
to put upon one Of their number who will
cut the scale to get a Job. Measured by
these standards, the newspaper maker
is singular1y improvident cuss. They
go to the county board with cutthroat
proposition to print the bids Of the doc
tors combine and take the copy home and
have 1t set by a printer who is working on
union scale Of prices.
