Cotton Letter.

Gilbert & Clay's Letter to Cothran & Co.
New Orleans July 2.-The weekly crop
report was evidently considered In
serious way abroad as Liverpool ex-
hibited a pronounced firmness and re-
corded an improvement of about
points in deliveries; while spot transact
lions increased to $4,000 bales at unchang-
ed quotations. A steadier tone was estab-
lished here, which was subsequently aug
mented by additional accounts of dam
age resulting from drouth In the CEN
trail belt and no relief being indicated
in the official government forecast of
weather for the ensuing q hours.
For a while there was noticeable
scarcity of sellers and a moderate de-
mand sent prices several points higher.
after which a quiet condition prevailed
though the steadiness was maintained.
Closing quotations are to points high
er than yesterday. Recent developments
in the cotton market have demonstrate
ed to traders the absurdty of taking
decided action at this period of the year.
The situation seems to possess a sur
prise of the sort to suit any occasions
and 1t appears necessary to take extra
precaution in this respect at present.
The monthly bureau report will be pub
lished tomorrow, showing the condition
of the crop from reports up to June 25.
A condition for June of 80 is about the
average of general expectations. and
any material divergence from that fig
IRE is likely to have a consistent infiu-
ence on prices for the time being
All American exchanges will remain
closed from the evening of lie third till
Monday morning in celebration of In
dependence Day.

THE ARMY.
Annual Report of Secretary of War
Elihu Root.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual re-
port of Secretary of War Elihu Root
was made public Sunday. The report
is review of the military activities of
the year, and deals at length with the
military administration of Cuba and
the instruction in the Philippines.
The creation of a general staff, Sec
rotary Root says, is the most pressing
need of the army. Our military sys-
tenn is still exceedingly defective at
the top. We have a personnel unsur
passed anywhere, and a population
ready to respond to calls for the in
crease OF the personnel in case Of
reed, up to the full limit at which it is
possible to transport and subsist an
army. We have wealth and present
Willingness to expend it reasonably for
the procurement of supplies and ma
erial OF war as plentiful and as good
as can be found in any country. We
have the different branches of the mil
itary service we'll organized, each
within itself for the performance Of
its duties. But when we come to the
coordination and direction of all these
means and agencies of warfare, so that
all parts of the machine shall work
true together, we are weak. Our sys.
ten makes no adequate provision for
directing brain which every army
must have to work successfully.

THE THREE YEARS WAR
Gen. De Wet, in His Book, Spares
Neither Briton Nor Boer.
Gen. Knox Is the Only British General
Who Seems to Have Struck De-
Wet as a Commander With
Military Genius.

London, Dec. Had not so many
of our burghers proved false to their
own colors, England, as the great Bis
marck foretold, would have found her
grave in South Africa" That is the
keynote of the Boer Gen. DeWet's
book entitled Three Years War"
1t is perhaps the most remarkable
book by the most remarkable leader
that any recent war has produced.
The concise, simply told tale of the
extraordinary campaign is marked
throughout with the stamp of truth.
The badness of the narrative only
serves to bring into strong relief the
