The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1904-09-06

It is reported that the Southern
cotton mills are making the most
of the Fall River strike and are
securing many orders for goods
that have heretofore been sup
piled by Massachusetts manu-
facturers. "This phase of the
situation" says the Boston Her
aid, sis as unpromising for the
strikers as it is for the operators.
Less business will mean less abil-
ity to pay good wages. There
appears to be a growing impress
sion that the sooner matters can
be adjusted so that the Fall River
mills can be put in operation, the
better it will be for all con-
cerned.'

Few Bolls on the Stalk.

The cotton in the vicinity of
Tutwiler, Miss, which only a few
weeks ago appeared go promis-
ing, is now pronounced by some
of our most successful planters
as the most complete failure that
this country has known for
number of years, there being so
few bolls on the stalks. Blight
has also attacked the cotton in
some plac es. This is supposed
to be caused by the excessively
wet weather during June and
July, followed by the extreme
dry weather during the past
The cotton is opening

had his house and barn destroyed
by fire last Saturday evening,
together with their contents. The

son of Mr.. Morris who had
lighted a match in the barn. The
flames quickly spread to the
house and all was burned except
a small store. Mr.. Morris car
ried no insurance and his loss is
hundred dollars.

The Price of Cotton.

All sorts of predictions are be-
ing made as to the price which
coming cotton crop will bring
/ Buyers of goods are trying t
persuade themselves that h 1
staple will be cheap and for this
reason they are purchasing only
from hand to mouth.
Curtailment of production has
been world wide and long su-
stained, and although the old
shirt may be patched here and
there, it is certain that a C u a
consumption has not fallen of
in anything like the proportion
of contracted output. The diff
ference is manifest in lessened
stocks of goods from the shelf of
the petty retailer to the ware
house of the wholesaler.
Mills in this country and Eng
land have stopped enough to
make a big difference in t h e
quantity of goods turned out. 1t
is safe to say that ninty per cent.
of English mills have worked
only seventy five per cent. of
the usual time for six months,
and as their normal takings for
that time would be some ] 10000
bales, they have lessened their
actual consumption by 100000
bales. Continental mills have
probably taken 25O, 900 bales less
than normal, and our own fac
tories about $4,000 bales.
This lessened out put of a mil
lion bales must be almost alto
gether made up during the COM
ing season. Even if a record
breaking crop is grown the price
will not be low. The demand for
goods will be a big one and a
season of abnormal activity
among the mills will in all prob
ability maintain prices at what
we have in the past few years
become accustomed to consider
high levels. Man must be cloth
ed, and so long as cotton re-
mains both the cheapest and
most suitable material for his
use, a few cents a year will not
panic among the users. The
many industries whic are hurt by
higher values, and we shall all
be trained TO look upon old time
prices as natural.
That there is a scarcity of ma
terial which one bumper" crop
cannot overcome is admitted, and
with an annual increase in the
real needs of the world, amount
ing to 100000 bales a year, there
seems little likelihood of the eN-
pectations of large buyers being
realized. When the mills COM
mence to fill the gap left by the
million bales, there will again be
profit in the cotton manufactur-
ing business.

Grenada's First Bale.

The first bale of this seasons
cotton was brought to Grenada
Tuesday night by J. f. Me-
CrackeE, a farmer of Carroll
County. 1t was sold at public
auction Wednesday morning and
bid in by the Grenada Mercantile
Company at II cents per pound.
1t weighed 496 pounds. E. NJ.
Ransom, a farmer of that coun-
ty, brought in the second bale
Wednesday m orni n g. 1t
weighed 564 pounds and was
bought by the same firm at II
cents.
One of the largest alligators
seen in many years was killed in
Coahoma county near Glover Hill
a few days since. The monster
was discovered by negroes in
Swan Lake. One mule could
not remove the carcass which
weighed about four hundred
pounds and was ten and one half
feet in length. The existence of
such mammoth aaurian in Swan
Lake had never been suspected
by the residents in that vicinity.
