PLAN THEY FOLLOWED
TO KEEP 1T A SECRET.
Wilson Says the Same Caution is oh

wilson, says tne same Cuut1On IL OBJ
served Every Time.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Preliminary re-
turns to the chief of the Bureau of
Statistics, Department of Agriculture,
show a total production of cotton in
the United States in the year 1904
1905, of 12,1620OO bales. Round bales
have been included in this estimate.
and reduced to their equivalent i'm
square bales. The estimate does not
include linters. The estimated produce
ton by states will be made public Dec
5, at IL a. IN.
In the preparation and issuance of
the cotton report, Secretary Wilson
gave a demonstration OF the precau-
tions taken to avoid advance informa-
ton leaking out. Representatives Bur-
CESS. OF Texas. and Ransdell. Of Louisi-
ana, were invited by the Secretary to
witness the preparation of the esti-
mate. The party was locked in the
private office OF the statistician and
the reports from all the cotton dis
tricts were taken into the room. The
doors were locked from the outside and
the Secretary then gave orders for the
opening of the report.
The estimate OF the crop for the year
1sOi-ls05 was then prepared and sent
out before any person In the room was
permitted to leave or communicate with
any person from the outside. In this
manner the cotton estimates are IN
vnriably made" said Secretary Wilson,
'and all human ingenuity Is used to
prevent leaking OF Information"

j. s. BACHE & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick a. Co.

New York. Dec. 3.-It is perfectly
safe to say that the government re-
port just issued has surprised more
people than any report of recent years.
The authorities whose estimate were
closest to the crop of the last three
years have been most out of the way,
while the English experts" who have
generally been 100000 bales or so too
high, have learned the value of the
saying that by sticking to one side
the tide of luck will at last change.
We have not word to say against
the report. Our correspondents had
reported the condition so faithfully
and so nearly in line with official adj
vices during the season that we may
be pardoned for having placed con-
fidence in their estimates of the yield
Needless to say we have a new low
level of prices. The readjustment that
has been going on in the relation of
supply to demand has proved justified.
There are, of course, big short lines
to be covered, for it is our opinion that
all the large individual operators
went into the market this morning with
big lines of shorts outstanding.
Before expressing any opinion as to
the price justified by the crop, and
general condition, we shall require
more time for consideration. Speaking
roughly, we should say that while
there might be a temporary rally on
any further decline as a result of COW
ering, the pressure of actual cotton and
the easier feeling among users as a
result of the estimate would lead to
an average trading level of between
TX and cents.

The only thing that can be said of
the local cotton market yesterday is
that the opening was quiet and at I'M
changed prices from the day before.
The sales announced at the opening
were 613 bales. When the govern
ments estimate of the crop was made
public and traders saw the tremendous
slump that struck the futures markets
at New York and New Orleans, fur
Their business was practically over for
the day. In fact when the l O'Clock
call came the spot market was posted
"demoraliZed, not quOtable."
After the break buyers were bidding
s cents for good middling, but so far
as is known no sales were made hold
ers being at a loss for a basis on
which to work. This will be furnished,
it is expected on Monday, when it is
seen in what light Liverpool regards
the estimate.
The f. o. b. market was quoted
steady at SIS cents. basis good mid

GOVERNMENT REPORT WAS
GREAT SURPRISE TO MANY
Cotton Prices Tumble Immediately in the New
York Cotton Exchange.

New York, Dec. 3.-The government
estimate of the cotton crop, placing
the yield at 1912, 900 bales, issued to-
day, was a surprise to more people,
perhaps, than any government report
of recent years. While a few of the
more extreme bears had been talking
100000 bales or over. the average
opinion oven in bearish circles locally
was that the government estimate
would be under that figure.
The announcement was followed by
another sensational break in prices.
The decline that has been in progress
now for over month and carried the
market down from IL cents to S1z cents.
proved insufficient in the estimation OF
the trade to fully reflect the new con-
clifton of affairs and a crop OF the size
reported. There was undoubtedly a
big short interest in the market but
In spite of covering, prices declined
nearly half a cent In less than half
an hour OF trading. January which
was sold around s. SEC during the fore
noon, was depressed to about S.l0c,
and other months suffered in like meas
ure. The market was very excited,
with trading exceedingly active.
The official close was barely steady
at net decline OF 52G57 points, with
January, which had closed on yester-
day at $3.50, quoted al Sc and March
at s.20c The business was enormous.
and IN spite OF additional wires secured
for the day by some OF the houses.
there were many orders remaining un-
executed after the close OF the mar

over. There is no doubt about the
size of the crop as far as the relation
to consumption goes. There is over
production this year, and II simply
means that those who looked for a
moderate crop of IL ,250,000 or there
abouts have been wrong, that there is
more cotton than can be looked after
at 81 or 8 cents a pound, and prices
will have to go to point where IT will
be convenient and safe to store cotton
up against future needs. The situa-
ton has been entirely changed by the
government figures. There can be no
bull market. except as conducted by
manipulation on an oversold technical
condition. The outlook last year was
the reverse of that of the present
time. Cotton will have to seek level
where the price will not pay for pro-
ducing it, and the planter will dimin-
ish his acreage. We are likely to have
a further break next week.

New York Sun for Roosevelt.

The Sun, that is independent, and has
been leaning to the Parker combine, after
receiving Parker's acceptance speech,
gives the following as its final stand:
70 state The Suns position and its
reasons therefor requires no metaphysical
subtlety of explanation. The main con-
sheraton s as broad as the nations in
terests. As the case is now made up, we
prefer the impulsive candidate Of the
party of conservatism to the mildly con-
sentative, temporizing opportunist repre-
sentative of the Hun vote in the back
ground. We have more faith in the dis
tinct promises of the Chicago platform,
not ignoring the many serious
defects Of that document, than we
have in the miserable hell-broth Of dish
water and dynamite concocted at st.
Louis month ago by party afraid to
renounce its criminal follies and tasted
yesterday at Esopus by respectable can
didate who declares with gusto that its
flavor is admirable
We shall therefore advocate the election
of Roosevelt and Fairbanks and advise
the defeat of Parker and Davis; preserving
our own absolute independence OF organic
control, and our freedom of judgment as
to every specific question occurring. And
may the Hon. Theodore Roosevelts pre-
sent mood continue, and if he is elected
may the Discourager of Precipitancy
stand always at his elbow

Abusing the Negro.

Richmond News-Leader.
There is no need for an anti-Negro cam
pagn this year, but we seem 10 be falling
into it. Many of the democratic news
papers have begun already indiscriminate
abuse of the Negro partly from force OF
habit and partly because it is easy
and safe. He has few friends and no
organs to bit back in his behalf.
Here in the south the question of white
supremacy is settled. In parts the
issue of white mans rule is good and
timely, but that need not include calling
the Negro race az whole bad names and
applying to it injurious and derisive ad-
jectives, for there are good, honest, faith
full and ambitious negroes, people worthy
the respect of anybody, and the race as a
whole has its virtues along with its vices.
We are weary of it. We hoped we
were done with it, in this part of the
country anyhow. We have listened to it
all these years. Have we not heard
shabby, rusty old deposed neighborhood
magnates, tobacco stained and crimsoned
with whiskey and orstory, living habit
ualIy on somebody else and trying to
regain forfeited prestige and authority by
denouncing from the hastings "the worth
less neg-e-ro?" Have we not heard the
little squesky- voiced human fees, leader
of the one-gallus boys at crossroads and
barely able to write their names, winding
up long sentences with jerky gesticulation
and shrill utterance of the familiar words
"ignunt negger?" Haven't we heard out
at-elbows bankrupts trying to get small
jobs by shrieking against the "thriftess
Niger" and roaring demagogueg ready
to betray any friend or break any promise
bowling the "debased nigger2" And
people of better sort contracted the habit,
so that for the last twenty years newspapers
and campaign orators have exhausted the
vocabulary of epithets describing the
vices of the 'nigger;" and then when he
goes away and leaves the farms untitled
We abuse him harder than ever.
The negro is in our hand. We have
put him out of polidcs. There is no need
or excuse for abusing him as a race any
more, not for stirring feeling against him.
Our duty is to deal with him patiently,
kindly and generously as we can, recog-
mixing his vices and weakness but remem-
bering too his virtues and giving him credit
for them; waiting az best we can until the
will Of Providence and the good sense and |
good hearts of the American people work
out solution of a tangled problem.
