The subject Of cotton raising in
Cuba has become Of widespread inter
est, and Il has been generally recog-
nized as Of the greatest importance to
the island in view Of the present low
price which is commanded by the two
principal products Of the island
namely, sugar and tobacco The ex-
tremeIy small returns from these two
products, which the Cubans had come
70 believe were the only things that
could be grown on their fertile land,
have caused them to seek other ways
OF gaining a livelihood. and one way
has been found in cotton raising.
Now that this product has come IN
der-a careful study the people who are
investigating its possibilities are as
tOnished at the promise which is held
forth The Sea Island variety can be
grown better, and in almost double the
quantity 70 the acre, than in any other
place Of which there is any record. II
seems incredible, but, TO begin with,
it can be safely stated that on a farm
Of a cabaIleria (thirty-three and one
third acres), the sum Of S3.031-65 clear
profit can be made over and above all
expenses
These figures are not theoretical, but
have been proved by experiment Sea
Island cOtton's minimum production
in Cuba is 1900 pounds Of seed cot
ton TO the acre, and the maximum is
1000 pounds, and the latter is not at
al infrequent- A cabaIleria, then, cal
culating at the minimum production,
ton This seed cotton viii give one
fourth Of its weight in lint cotton, or
u 500 pounds. At the latest report
from Liverpool this cotton brought q
cents a pound, which would mean So
375.
Out OF the S3,375 for which the cot
ton can be sold in Liverpool the cost
Of production Of the cotton must be de-
Quoted The price Of land and all viii
be included in this estimate One ca
balleria viii cost the small sum Of
1893. In the South one pillow hand
and one hoe hand are employed 10 cul-
tivate forty acres. In Cuba one pillow
hand and two hoe hands viii be need
ed. These people for six months viii
cost the farmer. including wages and
caballeria viii cost S23-35. To pick
the cotton will cost $50. and. estimat-
ing that the seed will pay for the gin
ming, which it viii more than do, the
total cost Of cultivation, picking, etc,
amounts TO SS53-35. Deduct this amount
from the previous figures and there
remains the net profit Of S3,02165.
The reason for this immense profit
in Cuban cotton is that Cuba produces
more cotton 70 the acre, and Of long
er staple, than that produced in any
other part Of the world. Cuban cotton
is a full three and a half inch staple
and upward, and, according to good
authority, no other country has pro
duced a three-inch staple, only in ex-
ceptional instances The reasons for
the greater production and excessive
length OF the staple are the length Of
the season and the humidity Of the eli
mate. which permits it 70 grow to full
maturity.

A Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct s, dispatch
says: Unless President NIicheH's hur-
ried visit to New York bears fruit the
end Of the mine workers strike seems
long way on and the prospect Of suf-
fcient coal being mined to satisfy the
public demand is extremely poor
Every local union of the miners or
ganizatiOn through the hard coal belt
held special meetings, either last night
or today and resolved to remain on
strike until the mine owners grant
them some concession. And while the
reports Of these meetings came pouring
into WilkesbaTre, President Mitchell
dictated a letter to the president of
the United States in which he gave his
answer to the proposition that the
strikers return to work and trust to
have their condition improved through
an investigation commission What
the answer of the miners chief is he
refused to divuIge.
Mr.. Mitchell sent his letter to Wash
ington before he had heard from all
the locals. This afternoon, accom-
panied by the three district presidents,
he left for New York His mission
there is also a secret As New York
is the headquarters of the coal opera
tors, a rumor Immediately spread that
a settlement was in prospect, but Mr.
Mitchell and his colleagues would not
say whom they expected to meet
Nearly all the resolutions passed by
the various miners meetings contained
a sentence to the effect that the men
will remain out, though all the troops
in the United States were sent here"
until they are granted some conces-
siOns.
Additional troops for this region
have not yet arrived, and the general
strike situation remains unchanged
