SOME COTTON STATISTICS.

The following review about cotton con-
sumption may not be without interest to
some of our readers, and it is given
without at all committing ourselves to
any deductions which might come from
it as the conditions this early would for
bid this:
On August 81, 1900, there was at the
European ports and aaoat for Europe, of
American cotton. 1000 bales; we ex-
ported for the year ending August 81,
1901, ,642, 81 bales; the supply for Eu-
rope was then 1922, 81 bales. On August
81, 1901. the stock was $4,000 bales;
taken by the European mills in 50 weeks,
6,5OO,S11 weekly consumption of Europe
that year, 125,OOO bales. The Northern
and the Southern mills took 1857 1903
bales; weekly consumption of American
mills, $4,000 bales; total consumption
was 1913. 900 bales.
On August 81, 1901, the European stocks
was $4,000. We exported in year ending
August 81, 1902, 6,763O71; supply, 1886,
OIL; stock on hand August 81, 1902, $751;
900; taken by European mills, 50 weeks,
6,74SO71; weekly consumption of Europe,
13O, 900. The Northern and Southern
mills took 3,98S,745 bales. Weekly con-
sumption 76,7O0 bales. The total weekly
consumption was 700 bales.
For the year just passed there was an
increased weekly consumption in Europe
of 5000 bales. and in the United States
of $500 bales. The total increased week
ly consumption was 1900 bales. And
this, notwithstanding the high prices of
cotton and the disorganized condition of
the cotton trade.
The erection of new mills on the con-
tinent and in the United States still con-
tinues-and it would be a safe estimate
to say that the weekly consumption for
the new year will be 100000 bales. This
would require 100000 bales of American
cotton.
The Agricultural Department reported
the condition of the crop on September 1,
1900, at 6S, and the crop was 1888, 422,
and on September /, 1901, at II, and this
crop was 10, $50 $50. The information given
by the department is generally the most
reliable we can obtain. An average con-
dition of "a on September 1. would prob
ably yield II 1000, 900 bales. The depart
ment figures are awaited with interest.
The entire stock of American cotton on
September 1, 1900. was 569, 759 bales; the
entire stock of American cotton on Sep
TENDER 1, 1901, was 943, 1856 bales; the en-
tire stock of American cotton on Septem-
Der 1, 1902, was SOO,46 bales. We start
out with 100000 bales stock. and if our
crop yields IL 100000 bales, and the crop
of India Egypt and other countries is not
short there will probably be no great
scarcity of raw material. But if the
crop falls below 100000 bales it ap-
pears that there will be some scarcity.

rs END OF COAL STRIKE NEAR

Great stress is being laid upon the
declaration made by Senator Platt, and
confirmed by Senator Quay that the enc
of the strike of the coal miners is neal
named will intimate how it is to end
but both unite in saying that the end is
very near.
AS opposed to these declarations al
of the leaders in the strike, with the ex-
ception of one man. say that the end is
not in sight unless the mine owners are
prepared to yield to their demands, and
that it would be only this that would
cause the operators to resume their work
President Nichols. a leader among the
strikers, is the exception in that he says
that the end is near, with a victory for
the strikers.
This is the condition, and between
these two opposing forces the public is
getting anxious about its winter supply
of coal and the price that is to be at
tached to it, for this keeps going higher
and higher and anthracite coal at eleven
dollars a ton is the latest quotation.
This is heavy burden, and 1T is feared
that it will be heavier when the cold
season is upon us. 1t has passed beyond
the bounds of a local issue, and the peo-
pie of the entire country are anxious
that the opposing forces may find COM
mon ground on which to stand, so that
the mines may be opened at once and
the threatened coal famine with the ter
rifcally ineeased prices for what is now
on hand, may be averted.
The immensely of the coal strike can
be gathered from the figures, made by
the New York Herald, which are it's es-
Inmates of the losses at the end of the
sixteenth week of the strike. These
losses are stated as follows:

Cursed Words of the Yezidees

The Iezidees, a peculiar Turkish
sect, are perhaps the only people in the
world which consider certain letters,
words and phrases as being cursed and
the person who prOnounces them a
worthy subject for immediate destruc-
ton. They attach no value to human
life, and to these ordinary dangers are
added those arising from the embar-
RAISING etiquette Of converse tional in
tercOurse with them, for if any one in
advertently speaks the word devil"
Satan or anything with the same
meaning he commits a mortal Offense,
and to cut off his head is God pleas
ing act, a sacred duty of the Yezidee,
the fulfillment of which will insure
him place in paradise.
In like manner several letters are
wholly banished from their language,
chiefly those which contain the sound
Of ''Shun." The Arabian word nallet.
Thou art damned" Is also expunged
because it is believed by the Yezidees
10 have been the word uttered by God
when the fallen angels were thrown
into hell. These and similar words and
phrases are set aside and combinations
which do not belong to any language
used instead.

which is caused by the nervous system
being out of order or by excessive ia

the nerves that sleep will naturally
follow. and upon getting up the pa
tent will feel very much refreshed,
and the toothache will be a thing of the
past. For what is known as jumping
toothache," hot dry flannel applied to
the face and neck is very effective. For
common toothache. which is caused by
indigestion or by strong sweet. acid or
anything very hot or cold in a deca we'd
tooth. little piece of cotton STEPPED in
strong csIpphor or oil of cloves is the
best remedy
