Thousands of Japanese are en-

in an island population. The product
of the fisheries furnishes a large pro-
portion of the food of the people, and
within recent years canneries have
been established and modern methods
of taking the fish largely adopted. The
ancient and extremely picturesque ma

other comparatively small fish is still,

of torches to attract the fish to the

the fish is captured. to swim at once

There are no rich men in Japan. as
judged by the standards of the Unit

the empire who pay an income tax on
over s125,0OO a year. More astonish-

statements that there are only thir-
teen men in the empire who pay on
$4,000 year; sixty-seven on $4,000;
ninety-six on $500. and 40 on $500.

are only seven who have incomes

sULLY EXPLAINS HIS RISE.
Makes Millions cornering Cotton
After Viewing Poor Fields.


Daniel J. Sully in September. 1902.
was a buyer for the New England
cotton mills at 4 salary of SIS a
week. In the following May he and
his associates cleared from S2.000.000
to s4.000O00 as the result OF cornering
the cotton market. He raised the
value of the years cotton crop $780,
100000 by his forcing of prices to
higher level. From that time to his
failure he was persistent bull. often
making millions by a single days
trading. His spectacular rise to the
position Of cotton king of the world
was explained by him in a graphic
manner VIXEN he was at the height
of power in May. 1908.
Il have been in the cotton business

ton for the mills for the last nineteen
years" said Mr.. Sully at that time.
IL usually made two trips south each
year, going down in October and Feb
ruary. 1t was while / was on one of
these trips. in February of 1899. that
the idea came to me which led me to
take the attitude / assumed in the
market during the recent movement in
cotton.
II was riding along the Yazoo and
Mississippi railroad on my way to
Memphis. There had been a very
bad storm throughout the cotton belt
that winter. and II had been followed
by freezing weather. AS passed
along the cotton plantations on the
railroad journey | saw great quanti-
ties of cotton seed lying out in the
fields exposed to this freezing wealth
er. The thought instantly ran through
my mind-what effect will this cold
weather have on that seed? II was
just a passing thought at first. but
later | gave it pretty serious consider
alton.
Il knew that the outside layer OF
the seed must certainly be frozen and
that the life in the heart of the seed
could not but be affected by the
frozen layer. Long experience taught
me also that the farmers would not
take the trouble TO pick out the frozen
seed but that just as it lay on the
fields and in the pens they would

sow it. This could not help but cause
a deterioration in the crop
ITO such an extent has the demand
for cotton seed increased that while
four years ago the manufacturers of
cotton oil products paid SIS a ton for
seed. they now pay So a ton. This
makes it an inducement for the farm
er to Take the seed from the first
picking Of his crop to the oil mill and
sell 1t instead of replanting it.
THE first picking is always the
best. The lint is the strongest and
the seed is the most virile. Where
does this seed go? Not into the pens
of the farmer for the next seasons
crop. but into the crushers of the cot
ton oil mills. In their shortsighted-
ness the cotton farmers are practically
selling the goose which lays for them
the golden egg. The farmer will save
the second picking for seed. and
doesn't reflect that he is sapping the
strength of his cotton product in do
ing this. Before the day of the cot
ton oil mill there was no use for the
seed. The farmer would take the
best OF 1t for replanting and would
put tine rest on the ground for ferti-
lizing purposes. The cotton farmer
to-day doesn't do that. And. remem-
her. this sort of thing has been go
ing on for fifteen years.
In line with this reasoning was the
probability that owing to a surplus
production of cotton in 1899 there
would be a reduced acreage the fol.
lowing year. And there was In 1899
there were 25,OOOOOO acres planted to
cotton in the south. and in the fol-
low Ng year the acreage was 10000
900, reduction OF just one-ffth.
Now you see what my conclusions
were. With a great reduction in acre.
age and a tremendous reduction in
producing power because of the frozen
seed and the consumption of the vital
seed by the oil mills. 1t was easy to
reason that the next crop would be
light in its producing power and that
the year following the lintage would
be still lighter. and that during the
fourth year we might expect cotton
famine.
