4 LARGE COTTON CROP.


It begins to appear as II the supply
Of cotton this year viii be fully equal
to all requirements. and the cotton
planters OF the South win doubtless
act wisely in selling the cotton they
have raised just as promptly as it can
be brought to market
The U S. Government in its report
on the cotton crop. issued on the srd
OF September. makes the condition OF
the crop Sl2 This is 17.2 per cent
better than tha report at the same
time last year. and the acreage shows
an increase Of about 4 per cent. This
is a total of p per cent over last
years indicated production. which is
the equivalent Of about 1000, 600 bales
OF cotton. The indicated crop Is. there
tore, somewhere in the neighhorhood
OF 100000 bales. and, while It Is
possible that an early frost or bad
weather may diminish these figures
slightly, a crop Of at least 12.0o0, 900
bales or over seems probable. Such
crop. II realized, undoubtedly means
much lower prices. II is to be hoped
that the cotton planters Of the South
viii not be misled by false prophets
into holding their cotton. but that they
will. on the contrary. sell It as rapidly
as It comes in Nearly all authorities
are conhrmatory Of the Government
figures. Mr. Theodore Fl. Price. the
well-known expert, makes the condi-
ton s3 and the crop 12.700.o0O bales.
and the figures Of the n. Y. Journal
Of Commerce Indicate about the same
conclusion.
The truth seems TO be that the ab-
normally high prices to which cotton
advanced during the spring and sum
mer, although they prohted planters
but little. as the crop was practically
all marketed befpre those prices were
realized have greatly stimulated plart-
Ing and production Is every direction.

Offer Of Ten Pounds for a Picture
Aroused His Wrath.
The studios in and around London
are just now filed with gossip about
the late distinguished artist. James
Mcneil Whistler. One is told Of a
female model to whom Mr. Whistler
owed some Is shillings for sittlngs.
She was a Philistine of the Philis-
tines, who knew nothing Of her pa
irons fame and was in no way i'm
pressed with his work One day she
told another artist that she had been
sitting to a little Frenchman called
Whistler, who jumped about his studio
and was always complaining that peo-
pie were sWindling him and that he
was making very little money The
artist suggested that if she could get
any piece Of painting out Of Whistler's
studio he would give her $40 for It.
Although skeptical, the model decided
to tell her @little Frenchman" OF this
too generous offer and selected one Of
the biggest and finest works in the
studio. What did he say?" asked the
artist who had made the offer when
the model appeared in a state OF great
excitement, and, looking almost as
If she had come second best out OF a
scrimmage. "He said a1O- good

people are by no means over anxious

excellent motives of all the persons
concerned and exonorate them from
suspicion of self advertisement. But
there are so few old world towns re-

the birthplace of Shakespeare should
at least be guarded more closely and
