TREMENDOUS LOSS IN
THE PRICE OF COTTON
Caused by the Government Esti-
mate of 12,162,OO Bales.
Entense Excitement and Heavy De-
clines Follow Announcement
of the Government Report.

The much discussed and anxious
~ awaited government estimate of
the cotton crop was issued last
Saturday, and had n paralyzing
effect upon the cotton market.
For weeks back the attention of
the trade has been directed to this
report, and speculation has been
rife as TO what it would show.
From distance the public could
only draw deductions and base
opinions upon such facts and fig
ures as were then available. The
facts would have prepared one for
most anything, but the figures
which always stand out most prom
inently did not encourage a belief
in anything over II, 800, 600. The
various exchange estimates were
close around II, 900, 900.
The enormous figures of 12,-
10000 bales promulgated from
an official source, and after the
most careful examination into the
facts, are astounding. Never be-
fore in the history of cotton grow
ing has a crop of twelve million
bales been produced.
1t was just quarter past II o.
clock on the New York Cotton
Exchange when the flash from
Washington gave the figures and
within five minutes afterward ev-
cry holder of cotton has lost 81 80
on each bale of his holding. With
in forty minutes or before the
close of the short Saturday session
the decline was 81. 80 to $500 per
bale and the spot markets were so
thoroughly demoralized that bust
ness was entirely suspended.
A ten million bale crop last year
brought over six hundred million
dollars. A twelve million crop at
nine cents would amount to $40
million dollars, or sixty million
dollars less than a ten million
crop. On the face of things, the
situation seems to be considerably
out of joint, and it seems that the
more cotton the farmers make the
less the crop brings them.

IMMIGRATION DECREASING
Commissioner of immigration Reports
That 812,S7O Foreigners Were
Received Last Fiscal Year.

immigration to the United
States decreased materially during
the last fiscal year, and it is nota-
BILE that the moral, intellectual and
physical qualifications of the inn
migrants admitted to this country
during the past year are higher
than ever heretofore have been
chronicled. These are two salient
features of the annual report of
Frank p. Sargent, Commissioner
General of immigration, which
has Just been made public.
The report says that during the
past fiscal year 812,870 aliens ar
rived in the United States, of
which $40, 100 were males and
263, 10 females; an increase in the
females as compared with last
year of Is, $50, decrease in the
males of GA, 046. As to age, Is
100 were under IA years, 637 ,155
were between 30 and As, and 49,
$50 were 40 or over. Of the total
number admitted immigrants 81
953 could read but not write, 1885,
903 could neither read nor write,
and it is presumed the remainder,
640.054, could both read and
write. 1t also appears that TO-
$50 of these aliens had already
been to this country; 95,575
brought with them $50 or more
each, and sol, $50 brought each
less than $50. The total amount
of money shown to officers by the
S12, so aliens was $40, s94, 1888, OF
81. 1856, 40 more than was brought
by the 957, 046 arrivals of the last
year. This fact, says the report,
taken in connection with the coun-
tries from which--the increases OF
the year under consideration came
furnished assurances of marked
improvement in the character Of
the more recent immigration. The
Is, 451 English immigrants brought
with them in the fiscal year 1870;
81, 405, 365; this year the Al, 479 o.
the same race brought 50, 1876, 172
the 35, 1866 Irish last year haC
1896, 0S2, while the 36,076 Irisf
this year showed 81, 092,7 H.
7S2 German immigrants last yea
had So, 4SO, 634, this year 74,79'
possessed in hand 81, 500, 675.

THE EVENING NEWSPAPER

James C. Sutherland writes OF the
situation in the current issue
OF the American Advertiser;
For a long time 1 have been inter-
.ested I'm the discussion Of the relative
values Of the different advertising me-
diums and have closely followed the
arguments presented. After study of
the various arguments on the subject 1
have arrived at the conclusion that
there are moro points IN favor of the
evening daily newspaper than any Of
its competitors. I believe however,
that each medium has it's uses, and
that the arguments OF the other medi-
ums contain many impressive points.
Appreciating this fact, ! nevertheless
believe that the evening daily far out
points the other phases of commercial
publicity for general purposes. In a
brief way ! give the several points OF
superiority as they appeal TO me:
I. The evening newspaper is read b,
the great mass OF people-the peoph
the advertiser wishes to reach, becaus
they are the class who respond to ad
vertising.
.. Every reader OF the evenin
papers is a possible purchaser and tn

readers Of any other medium.
3. The evening paper is read when
il is time for reading, and the reader
reads the advertisements with pur-
pose i'm view. 1t is not like hurried
reading of some ad because the reader
could not escape IL; nor is It the read
ing OF advertising merely for entertain
ment.
4. The readers Of the evening news
paper read the advertisements much as
they do the news. They look for sug-
gestions as to where they shall do the
next days buying. They remain long
enough with one advertisement TO con-
slider II thoroughly, and the advertise
ments good features are sure to be ef-
fective
3. The evening newspaper gets INTO
the homes and is read by the different
members Of a household, which makes
one copy OF this class of newspaper
more valuable than say five copies or

into an Office waste basket.
6. large portion OF the army of
buyers influenced by advertising are

is an established fact.

RESOLUTIONS

Wilmington, Del. November %. 1894
Resolved That in the death of Walter
D. Bush this grand jury has lost an active
and efficient member, one who was always
ready to express his best judgment in all
cases that were presented to this body
During his lifetime work among the
citizens of Wilmington. Delaware, he had
been closely associated with many of its
activities, and had endeared himself to
large circle of business and social
friends. In his public functions he had
given the full sympathy and free service
of his heart and hands. and his genial
temperament made him ever considerate
of the feelings Of his fellow men. We can
truly say that the world was better for
his having lived in it,.

s. The quantity OF circulation of the

Whether it is a mistake or not in say
