They Divide Up the Worlds Territory
Between Them and Each is to Stay in
its Own Sphere--An Authorized State
ment by Thomas F. Ryan.
Several misleading and incorrect
so-called interviews with Thomas F.
Ryan of the American Tobacco Com
pany, were published last week. The
official authorized announcement by
Mr.. Ryan was published in the As
sociated Press last Friday, (3rd), and
is as follows:
"The agreement made between the
representatives of the Imperial To-
bacco Company, of England, on the
one hand, and the Consolidated To-
bacco Company, ON the other, was
mutual in it's character and entirely
satisfactory on both sides. It was
accomplished by friendly conference
after full consideration of the in
terests of all parties affected. The
agreement has an international
character which has not belonged, I
think, to any previous trade arrange
ments. 1t means the union of the
representative of an important bus
mess in Great Britain and America
for the purpose of seeking trade
hand-inshand, throughout the world.
Ny visit to London grew out of an
invitation extended to me in July
last by the directors of the British
company after several of the direct
Ors had visited the United States,
and while here had conferred with
Mr.. Duke, President of the Consoli-
dated Tobacco Company, and myself
regarding the respective interests of
the companies we represented. The
agreement made to transfer to the
Imperial Tobacco Company, the bus
ines8 of the Consolidated Tobacco
Company in England, was made for
full and satisfactory consideration.
The American Tobacco Company be-
comes a large shareholder in the
English company, with three repre-
sentatives on it's board of directors,

"The Consolidated Tobacco Com
pany will pursue it's business in the
American field, including not only
the United States, but Cuba, Porto
Rico, and Hawaiian Islands, and the
Philippines, without competition
from the English company. The I'm
perial Company will not encounter
the competition of the American
Company in the business of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, including Scotland and
Wales. In the New British Com

THE UNITED STATES
Bulletin Issued by Census Bureau
Shows an Increase During Past
Three Years.

The Census Bureau yesterday issued
a report on the quantity of cotton ginned
In the United States of the crops of
1899, 1900, and 1901.
The crop of 1899 was reported at
9.645.974 commercial bales, that of 1900
at 10.4s6,1 14s bales, and that of 1901
at 1854 .945 tales. The crop of 1901 ex-
ceeded that of 1899 by 30S.9 commercial
bales, while the crop of 1900 exceeded
that of the preceding year by S4O,174
bales.
There was a remarkable fluctuation
in the cotton crop of Texas for the three
years named In 1899 the State pro-
duced 27.6 per cent of the country's
crop; in 1900, "a per cent, being one
fourth of the worlds crop for that year,
while In 1901 that State grew only 26.1
per cent of this country's production.
The active ginneries in the United
States were 29, $50 in 1899, 29,214 in 1900,
and 29,25i in 1901.
The sea island cotton crop Of 1900
was 1885 bales less than that of 1899,
the loss being practically confined to
Florida and Georgia. where losses of
3,172 and 5.733 bales. respectively, were
reported In 1901 the sea island crop
was 49, 400 bales less than that of 1899,
the loss for the year being again con-
fined to Florida and Georgia. where
losses of 3,473 and 1915 bales, re-
spectively, were reported.

Wall Street Bear Contingent Said to

in cotton early today was due 10 a sharp
advance in Liverpool, and continued dry
weather in Texas. where conditions, ac-
cording to the Government. are serious.
Then. too. Liverpool and the South sent
a coed many buying orders. and the
Price contingent of Wall Street was un-
derstood to be buying to some extent,
while Philadelphia bought July heavily.
Later on, in spite OF the fact that no
rain was predicted for Texas, a reaIiZ-
ing movement set in which caused n
considerable reaction attributable large
ly to selling by New Orleans. IL was
rumcred, too, that some of the Wall
Street bear element had resumed sell
ing. The crop movement is light. and
the weather conditions over a very i'm
portart territory of the Southwest are
anything but favorable.
So far as the condition of the King is
concerned. the consensus of opinion here
is that fatal issue, regrettable as it
would be, could have no moro than a
temporary effect

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.

similar character OF the stage TO day
possesses the peculiar fascination
and touching appeal as that OF the
blind girl selling tI0wers in the city

misfortunes thousands have wept
