ton of officers at the end of the first
years work. Mrs. Joseph Ferrall was

while their young children are being cared
for at the Nursery, which opens at half
past six every morning, and cares for the
children until their mothers call for them
III the evening. The little tots are treateo
just rs if they were in their own homes.
They are bathed, kept clean, we'll fed and
amused. 1t is one of the worthiest and
most practical charities known in modern
times The children over six years old
are sent to school. None over eight are
received.
Any contributions of money, food. wood,
etc, will be thankfully received by the
ladies las they are anxious to enlarge the
scope of the work.

ELEVEN CENTS TO-DAY
That is the Prediction for
Cotton Here.
Market is Uppish and From New York il is Pr
dicted That in Three Years Cotton Will
Bring Is Gents.

The cotton market here was nervy
enc yesterday 1t came within an eighth
Of eleven cents and on many sides it Is
said it will reach that mark today
The sales here were light, only 10
bales being on the market. With tile
ryice up this shows that cotton IS scarce
in this section. Some farmers are sell
ing cotton two and three days ahead
a, the prices offered and make contracts
to deliver it here: 10 II to 10 IS were
yesterdays prices as against 5-S 10
ga last year the same date when 10
bales were sold
In New York the market opened weaa
and kept at this till within halt hou:
OF the close when the bulls took posSc--
sion and the market went from the low
est point up, % to % points. The adj
vance was caused by the aggressive buy
ing of the bull clique in New Orleans anc
New York.
Sully stated to member of the New
York Exchange yesterday that cotton
would sell at % cents a pound in tHe
next three years.
In 1900 and 1901 cotton sold at the high
est in the fall and lowest in the winter
and spring, but then the conditions were
the reverse Of those now prevailing. Then
the whole South was full of cotton carr
ried over and the mills were heavily
stocked in both Europe and America on
the cheapest cotton when the crop OF
1900 and 1901 started to be marketed,
and added to this trade was very poor.
This year this crop started with cot
ton famine not only in America but
practically all over the world. There arc
no supplies of the crops of former yea-~
to draw upon. Ellison. one of the. most
conservative statisticians in the cotton
world in liverpool estimates the re-
ouirements TO be 10 900, 600 baies with the
most conservative estimate of 1O,250, 600
to 10. 500, 900 bales for this crop. This
means that 4 deficit OF half million bales
is not improbable and that cotton is
bound to advance.
