NEW YORK, JAN 30.-Cotton has
simply gone out of sight. All rec
ords have been smashed The bears
are panic-stricken and have thrown
up the sponge and given up the fight.
Black Friday is a memorable day, but
when cotton reached IS cents today
the SPECTATORS, both bulls and bears,
appeared to lose all reason and be-
come abject subjects for the insane
asylum. Now that the bulls have
things all their own way there is no
telling when the top will be reached.
Cotton is easily king of the export
side Of our vast national business,
$13, 100000 more than 100000 a
day for 1908. Sundays and holidays
included, and $4,000, 600 day for the
last three months, and $2,500,OO0 a
day for the final month. Such is the
monumental record. In the history
of our cotton expectation we never
before reached so high figure as the
$72,O00,O00 achieved in December
1903
Quoting each fifth year since 1888
the record of our cotton exporta-
ton is:

The total of these exports for the
years 1883 to 1903 is over s5, 200. 0Oo,-

bank accounts of the southern cotton

WILL TONIGHT END IT ?
The Feeling is That the BuiIders
Strike Will Cease This Eevsning.

Much interest is centered in the
meeting OF the Master Builders asso-
citation which will be held tonight to
close up matters regarding the strike.
1t is understood that there will be no
trouble Strengthening out matters with
the bricklayers and tenders and it is
thought, TOO, that the trouble will be
adjusted with the carpenters in such
q way that the strike will DE declared
off and the men will return to work
on conditions satisfactory to both par
ties. If this can be accomplished it
would be the better way out of it, for
even though the bosses might succeed
in bringing in new men the fight
would be still on and the peace that
everybody desires never could be at
tanned under such All arrangement
Every body wants to see the Water
bury carpenters brought back and put
to work in their. own city. 1t would
be better for the men and their fami-
lies and more agreeable to the bosses,
too, perhaps Almost everybody con
nected with the strike has perman-
ent residence here and they ought to
be able to get together and settle the
matter UP and have done with it for
the present q least Both sides ought
to be willing to yield little for the
good name Of the city and thus put
an end to the outside talk that capital
and labor in Waterbury are engaged
III an endless and ruinous warfare.
The public wants peace, and while all
have conducted themselves cred
itably during this tie-up. . still
there is ae great deal of anx-
iety in the minds of thousands of
citizens on account of the threat tened
clash and it would be a good thing
for the whole community if these
doubts and fears were allayed so that
employers and, employees could get
down to business and set things III mo-
ion with a reasonable assurance that
things would go on uninterrupted in
the building line for the balance of
the current year.

SCHEME OF
COMMITTEEMAN LARKIN
he Has it in Contemplation and Thinks it Will be d
Good Thing The Legislature will Have TO Act on
1t Before it Can Become Law-State Secretary is
Also in Favor of It.

Ihere have been SO many alarms
lately concerning the schools that an
impression has gone among great
many of the teachers that Commission
er Larkin will operate his pension idea
when the matter of reappointments
comes up next month. Commissioner
I4arkin informed a representative Of
the Democrat this afternoon that while
he Is working hard and fast on his
pension idea it will not be operative
for some time. In the first place, he
says it cannot become fact until after
and by consent of the next legislature,
but that 1t will become fact he has
not the slightest doubt. He has dis
covered a great many ways by which
tine fund can be raised and estab-
lished and has obtained stacks Of 1T
eratllre ON the matter. Mr. Hine, sec
retary Of the state board OF education,
appears to be full OF the idea, and
Commissioner Larkin Is pleased TO nave
SO able a champion of his pet.
Teachers in many places are pen
stoned off when they reach a certain
age or become incapacitated for work
through natural causes. In many or
the large cities of the country the idea
is in operation.
Money for such fund, Mr. Larkin
has found out. is obtained from many
sources, but mainly from local ones.
One per cent Is kept from the teachers
salaries. Salary that is allowed them
here while they are i'll is kept from
them in most all those cities where
they are pensioned. So much per capi-
ia is deducted from the state allowance
and large portion comes from liquor
licenses and licenses from places OF
public amusement.
Commissioners Larkin said he was
not aware that there are any teacners
on the school pay roll that could con
sistently be retired and pensioned just
now.
