Columbus did wonderful thing with
an egg when he made it stand on end.
A brave New Jersey woman did a
more wonderful thing with whole
basketful, as the following dispatch
from New Brunswick, N. j., will show;
MRS. Josephine Hill of Highland Park
near here, was riding a bicycle along
the Metuchen road this morning and
at the same slime was balancing a
basket of eggs on one arm. A runaway
horse came toward her on a gallop,
with no one in the carriage. Mrs. Hill
is an expert wheelwoman, and she
turned about quickly in time to grab
the horses bride as he came up. She
rode along a little way. holding onto
the bride, and finally brought the horse
to a standstill, and never broke an
egg"

CnTTnN CORNERS.

We are not surprised that Mr.. Will
son, Secretary of Agriculture, con-
dennis cotton corners. The point he
makes against them are substantially
the same as those to which we have
called attention several times recently.
They do not benefit the cotton pro-
ducers. and it is certain they do not
benefit cotton manufacturers.
The producers have not benefited as
yet by the price to which cotton has
been raised by the corners of this sum-
mer, and it is not certain that they
will be. Only those who have been in
terested in the corners have made
money. If there had been no corners
it is probable that the price would not
be quite so high as it is at present,
but the chances are that there will be
a fall in the price to what it would
have been by the time cotton begins to
come to market in Quantities. Indeed,
the chances are that the price will be
lower than it would have been because
the corners have cut off the consump-
ton Of cotton by the mills, so that
there is great deal more cotton than
there would have been if the price had
been SO the mills could have been
operated at a profit. There is a good
deal of cotton in the hands of spec
ulators which will be thrown upon the
market just as soon as the corner is
terminated. This cotton will help to
zav. L.. - ~. =
no corners the price would be high,
because of the scarcity of cotton, and
the probability is that it would con-
tinue high through the greater part of,
If not the entire, season.
Secretary Wilson calls attention to
the efforts that are being made in
various parts Of the world by Ell
ropean governments to cultivate cot
ton so as to be free from the Afneri-
can cotton spectators and corner
makers. He does not say SO directly.
but it is evidently his opinion that
some of these efforts will be success
ful. and that in the course of a few
years, the cotton states of this coun-
try will have much greater competi-
ton.
There is no doubt that there is soif1k
to be a great increase in the cotton
acreage in Egypt, owing to the irriga-
ton system that has been inaugurated
there. In Egypt the wages of a laborer
in the cotton field is only Is cents a
day. And labor is equally as cheap in
Africa where Germany and England
are striving to make the cultivation of
cotton successful. If they should sue
coed this country would have a for
nidable rival in the cultivation Of
cotton. There would be no such thing
as twelve-cent cotton where laborers
were paid only Is cents a day. And
American SPECTATORS, without bene-
fitting cotton growers, have stimulate
ed other nations in their efforts to
grow cotton in their colonies. 1t is
safe proposition that cotton corners
do not benefit cotton producers. They
don't limit the supply of cotton, and
supply and demand are what regulate
the price. A corner may take a great
deal of cotton out of market for awhile.
at a season when cotton is out of the
hands of the producers, and thus in
crease the price. but this condition
does not exist after the new crop be-
gins to come to market.
