to be the general opinion that New York

labor vote is evidently going to be di-
vided, but the trend of organized Ia

TO figures out a republican victory in
the country at large without New York,
but signs multiply that the party which

tor Ransom, who for two years repre-
sented our government as minister to
Mexico. After saying that the news o.
his death had been received in that
city with regret and giving a sketch Of

with this tribute to him:
Minister Ransom will be well remem-

courtesy and dignity endeared him TIC

something singulaIly attractive abouc

COTTON AND THE COTTON MAR
KET-

Latham, Alexander & Co., bankers
and cotton commission merchants, OF
wall street. New York. every fall send
out a very handsome cotton book"
Their book for this year is even hand
somer than their usual annual edition.
The typographical work is beau
'tifully done and the book hand
somely bound, with Illustrations of
1.-The mechanical cotton pickers"
which have been invented up to the
present time, and others. But the
mechanical work on the book is by 10
means it's chief feature. Tt tells all
about the cotton crop, past, present and
future. 1t gives statistics as to prices,
yield, product, etc. The preface of the
book for this year contains some inter-
esting facts regarding the position of
cotton in the worlds market. From
what this says one may be assured hat
nothing but a phenomenal production
of the staple can eve carry the price
back to what it was a few yeers ago
Cotton has again assumed its position
of king Of the agricultural products,
not only of this country but of the
world. To keep it in it's high position
all the southern planters ave to do
is to act judiciously ana not allow
themselves to be stampeded by the
spectators. The over-production of a
few years back has been wiped out by
the increased demand from the mills Of
three continents.
The great question now is whence
should come the necessary supply for
the mills-not how and where shall the
producer dispose of the product of his
fields. The impetus given to cotton
manufacture in the last few years has
disposed of the entire crop of each
coming year even though the output
should be a million or two bales great
er than any crop that has yet been put
on the market.
In reference to the question of supply
and demand and the increase of the
latter this book of Latham, Alexander
& Co. says:
Six years ago, cotton production had
outrun the worlds consumption and
consequently the surplus supply al
that time made the low prices
for the whole crop. On the
contrary, at the opening of the
season just closed it was known Of al
men that the worlds visible and in
visable supply of cotton was practi-
cally exhausted, by reason of a sue
cession of comparatively small esops.
The worlds total consumption OF
cotton for the year 10000 was L.. 500,
$50 bales, while the total production OF
the world for the same time was 49,
S54,671, showing a deficit in production
of 1865 bales. The average cotton pro
duction of the last five years has beer
in round numbers 1O,250,000 bales. L
is estimated that the worlds spindle:
were virtually idle one month out o.
the twelve last year, by reason of thu
short time operations of avast number
sof mills, and yet the consumption wa!
13, S59, $50 bales. At that rate, if all tn
mills had run on full time for the whole
twelve months, consumption woulC
have been in round figures 10000 0
bales.

Does anybody know what advantage
a man derives by putting his name on
the permanent registration roll under
the grandfather clause? Some are Of
the opinion that having once register
ed under this clause they do not have
to register under any circumstances for
any future elections. This may not
be the law. No man who wishes to
vote at the coming election should rely
on his "grandfather clause certificate
of Permanent registration, but should.
to be on the safe side, see that his
