COTTON EXPORTS WERE
TWO MILLIONS A DAY
Value of Outgoing Product for October
Reached the Enormous Sum of
$6o,zs3,4I2.

Two millions Of dollars a day IS a snug
sum for the total receipts from the sale
of a single agricultural product in a
single country, even such a country
as the United States That is the fig
ure shown by the report Of the Bureau
of Statistics. as the value Of the cotton
exported from the United States in the
month of October, 1903.
The value of cotton exported in the
month Of October was $50. .2S3. .412. against
so, 100000 in October. 1902. S46 O0O 900 in
October 1901, and $50, ,474.4 437 in October.
1900 The total quantity exported in
October 1903. is shown TO be 59l. SO. .S72
pounds, an average price of 1OI cents
per pound.
This figure Of S6O. .OO0. 900 receipts for cot
ton in a single month is not equaled IN
the history Of cotton exports, except in
the month of October. 1900 when the
total value of cotton exported was
4l2 for the month of October are
subject to slight prospective increase.
as II does not include the figures OF
certain distant ports through which
small quantities of cotton are exported
1t should not be understood that the
value OF cotton exports Of the United
States averages $1,000. .O0I. per day the
year around. although they have aver
aged 100000 ~ day during the month
Of October. Taking the entire year. il
may be said. h1wever. that the value OF
cotton exports now averages 81, 600 90
per day for each business day OF the
year In the twelve months epded with
october. lS03 -he total value cf cotton
exported vas S;,20. 406. 3l4, and in the fiscal

no details of the attack. Press dis
patches announce the arrival of the
United States cruiser Baltimore at Santo
Domingo. Business is at a standstin
on the island. but Santo Domingo has
suffered little damage. and the situa-

yielded TO the demands of Minister
Powell and signed a protocol relating
10 the claim OF the Santo Domingo I'm
provement Company's claim. Arbitra-

With enormous crops and big exports,
there is no excuse for encouragement
over the country's outlook The corn
crop this year was the largest on rec
ord, with one exception, while the
wheat harvest was large enough to sup
ply large surplus for export Cotton
is going abroad in great volume at the
best export prices On record. and as d
consequence this county's increase in
wealth from its cotton crop alone will
be heavy.
Readjustment is going on in the busi-
ness world. Prices arc coming down
to "A more normal basis. and after the
completion of this change there will

OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

AS the interior demand for funds has
taken in two weeks an amount of money
about equal TO a normal outward food
of currency for the entire fall season,
the chances are that the outgo will
soon cease, although the higher price
for cotton this year requires more
money for financing the crop.

Little Mile James, recently seen in this
city at English's in 1.-THE Little Princess"
is certainly the most extensively adver-
tised actress that has ever undertaken
pilgrimage to Chicago-and all through a
billposter's mistake. The dead walls of
the Windy City are at present decorated
with art reproductions of handsome por-
trait in oil of the dminutive actress. The
beautiful reproductions cost Sc apiece
and there are four dozens of them. They
were intended for display in the most ex-
elusive shop windows and were, of course,

man for display in other cities at the con-
clusion of the Chicago engagement. But
unfortunately. the handsome Autographs
arrived at Powers Theater, Chicago to-
gether with the regular posters advertising
the play, and as the management of the
theater turned the package over to the bill
room without carefully scrutiniZing ii, the
result was that the billposters got ho,d OF
the expensive Autographs and pasted them
up everywhere in true billposter style.
The Holden Stock Company has been in
the habit of giving two plays each week

these are necessary qualities Then there
is the responsibility. One cannot shirk
that but all good things have their respon-
sibilities. There are a number of women
who have gone into the work in England.
but / believe / am the only American so
far who has taken up the profession sys-
temaucally from the start; who has aimed
at this end from the commencement of her
career and studies. It's strange that more
girls who love children and nursing have
not devoted themselves to this profession
long ago. The prices paid are often much
larger than for other engagements of a
trained nurse And there is surety of con-
tinued employment. From my own expert
ence 1 can promise any woman who knows
her work and loves 1t that she will find en-
