THE NAuii5ry coTToN BULLS.

We note with regret that some of the
Southern papers are waging war on
certain New York cotton men who tire
buIling the market under the brilliant
and aggressive leadership of Theodore
Price. Why For the life of us we
cant tell. Right or wrong, few think
ing people will have the hardihood to
deny that the cotton planter of the
South has been largely the gamer as a
result of the Price campaign. While the
receipts were abnormally heavy during
the month Of September, it is almost
nearly, or, perhaps, quite cent per
pound, if the staple had been without
the friendship of the New York capital
lists who are stalking their millions to
back Theodore Price in his opinion that
the present value of cotton is far too
low. True, this Is not done through
friendship for the cotton planter, because
sentiment should have little to do in in
spring Or controlling business venture;
but, when once or twice in lifetime the
New York specuator leans our way, we
are pretty fools if we not only decline to
profit by our good fortune, but actually
turn against the authors oft. These
cotton bulls may be very, very naughty,
but we can well afford to leave them and
the bears to fight it out; taking advan-
tagc the while Of the satisfactory prices
now prevailing, thanks to these same
naughty bulls. After all, who can deter
mine at this stage of the game what the
less affected by environment, and SO the
Memphis man expects a bumper crop,
while the Texan thinks that the follow
ers of the gallant Theodore are bound to
win. Without expressing any opinion
as to the final result, our whole sympa-
thy is with the bulls. We hope they will
make billion dollars, but so long as the
price is fairly remunerative, it is, perhaps,
good idea for the producer to continue
his present policy of rapid shipments and
quick sales.

COTTON PICKER 4 sticcHs 5.

Below we copy special dispatch to
the Vicksburg Herald, giving an account
of the trial of the Campbell cotton pick
ing machine, which will be of interest to
every cotton producer. According to
the report the machine did its work well,
and it appears that the problem of gath
ing cotton by machinery has at last
been solved. IF so, wonderful revo-
luton will be wrought ii the cotton
industry. The large Delta planter, who
is so often put to great loss by the scarcity
of labor during tile picking season, will
be especially benefited by this invention
should it prove complete succeis.
Greenville, Miss, Oct. 3O.-The cotton
picking machine of the American Cotton
Picker, of Pittsburg, Pa, was carried up
to the Will Urquhsrt place, near VIII
zinski, last week and put in operation.
Last night number of the company ar
rived in the city together with some
wealthy gentlemen Of Pittsburg, and
this morning they Went up with DR., Nc
Nebben, the president Of the company;
T. H. Norris, manager, and w. X. Rowe,
to Wilzinski, near wher. the machine is
In operation. On their errival at the
field where the picker was at work, some
score or more prominent and successful
planters had gathered to watch its
work. The machine there in use was a
power machine run by gasoline. This is
the machine that it's inventor, A. Camp
bell, thinks will be the most popular
machine i'll the future. as it has no legs
to knock the open cotton from the stalk
The field was white with cotton, but
there was mach green leaf growth on tie
stalk caused from the late rain. On
going down the row the first time the
machine, it was estimated, picked from
80 to IS per cent of the cotton on the
stalk, but Mr.. Campbell, to prove to the
spectators that it would clean the row,
would go back over it a second time
whick' made it perfectly black, leaving
not over four per cent Of the cotton ON
the stalks, proving the machine would
pick the cotton from the stalk as clean
as the darkey. The only trouble that is
to be overcome, which the inventor is
confident of doing before another season.
is cleaning the cotton of the vegetation
and green leaf that the fingers gather
with cotton. The problem Of picking
the cotton he has fully solved, and even
shotld he fail to invent cleaner the
machine is success, and will be put il,
operation as fast as they can be secured
throughout the entire cotton producing
country of the south. THE thing that
worries the planter most" one was
heard to say, after seeing the successful
operation of the machine, is the prob
lem Of manufacturing them fast enough
to supply the demand.
All who saw the machine pick the cot
ton to-day were fully convinced that it
was the future cotton picker of the south.
The party of gentlemen from Pittsburg
and some of the visiting planters return
ed to the city tonight, and the only
topic Of conversation is the American
Cotton Picker and it's successful work il,
the field.

BUCKET SHOPS" REPLY.
Say They Are Not Bucket Shops, but
Chicago Board of Trade Is One.

The defendants in the case of the Chicago
Board of Trade against number Of keep
ers of so-called bucket shops" filed their
answer in the United States Court yester-
day. The Board of Trade alleged that the
bucket shops obtained the formers quo
tations without permission and asked for
an injunction In the answer it is said
that the Board OF Trade controls the prices
Of about three-fourths of the general food
stuffs and that. therefore, the public has
a right to information about the proceed
ings of the Board of Trade 1t has no right
to prevent the transmission of such infor-
nation.
The retort is made that the charter of
the Board of Trade permits il to have $500
900 of property. but, in violation thereof.
, its property is worth $500 00O 1t is worth
1900 TO be a member OF the organization.
The defendants also say they are not run
ming bucket shops, but are acting as COM
mission agents. The Chicago Board of
Trade is a great bucket shop, they charge.
and on it's floor deals are made involving
many times larger quantities OF foodstuffs
than really exist.
