THEODORE \. PRICE
ON COTTON.
Especial to News and observer.)


New York Oct. S-An effort has been
made to depress the cotton market to-
day by the circulation of a report that
Mr.. A. ]. Buston,>a Liverpool cotton
merchant, who makes an annual trip to
the South, will shortly publish an esti-
mate of the crop, which'.it was rumored
was in the neighborhood OF twelve mil
lion bales l desire to warn Southern
holders of cotton against being affected
by Mr.. Buston's estimate.
l mean no disparagement of the gem
tleman himself but it is proper that the
trade should understand that he repre-
sents a Liverpool clientage. Liverpool
has to buy American cotton, and it nat
urally wants to buy it as cheaply as
possible. Whether Mr.. Buston's esti-
mate is ten million or twelve million
bales will not alter the facts of the case,
which are as follows;
Exports for the season to date are
334 600 bales larger than during the same
period last year. Shipments to Northern
mills and takings of Southern mills are
about 100000 bales larger than during
the same period last year. so that not
Withstanding an excess in the early re-
ceipts of about 900 bales this excess
being Indicative of drought-shortened
crop, the total stocks of cotton at the
United States ports and at thirteen of
the most important interior towns, are
only about 1000 bales in excess of what
they were last year. This shows that
the world needs the cotton and is taking
it. They must, in my opinion, continue
to take it. and Will probably buy more
eagerly at nine cents per pound than at
present. THEODORE II. PRICE.

HELLBrNDE RS AND BIG BLACK
BEAR FOB THE MUSEUM
Curator Brimley and Fntomologist sher man
Back From Trip Across the Blue
Ridge After Specimens

Curator H. H. Brimley, of the State
Museum, and Entomologist Franklin
Sherman returned yesterday afternoon
from a trip to the mountains in quest OF
specimens After Mr.. Sherman had Sc
cured what specimens he could in the
insect line. he Joined Mr.. Brimley in the
search for geological specimens.
Curator Brimley brought with him up
wards of 200 fine representatives OF the
fauna of the region west of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, which part of the State
is really in the Ohio and Mississippi
valley.
perhaps the most notable trophy
brought in is the skull and skin of a
large black bear that was killed. on
Mount Mitchell by Dolph Wilson, son
of big Tom Wilson. His bearship
would have weighed about 400 pounds.
This is the seventy seventh bear on
Dolph's list, and it was found on the first
round he made of his traps this season.
The place where the bear was caught
was near the pool in which DR.. Elisha
Mitchell was drowned. The mast of the
forest in that section is unusually album
dant this season, and on that account
bear signs are frequent.
Among the OJneT specimens are many
water animals belonging to the fauna
west of the Blue Ridge, species of fish
and water snakes hitherto unrepresented
in the Museum.
Several Hellbenders are in the lot.
One of these is a fine specimen twenty
inches long. He is an ugly-looking
customer, but is guaranteed harmless
even when alive The animal is found in
the Mississippi valley, and never east of
the Blue Ridge Mountains.
There are some red and brown squir-
rels, too.
Messrs. Brimley and Sherman visited
besides Mount Mitchell, Bald Mountain,
the Pensacola Settlement, Cane River,
Prices Creek. Bald Creek and Bolling's
Creek They talked up the State Fair
everywhere they went, leaving cata-
logues and making arrangements for ex-
hibits of fruit, especially in the Pensa-
cola Settlement, where some splendid
apples were seen.
In one place in Yancey county they
came across a gang of 100 men doing
voluntary work building a real road from
huntsville, in place of the mountain
track.
A good series Of photographs was Sc
cured. There is one of a Poplar tree on
Mount Mitchell, which measured twenty
seven feet in circumference.
