so far as the actual stuff on the spot
was concerned. Quotations were IN
changed, and only u bales were re-
ported sold, all OF these, however, were
disposed of late yesterday afternoon.
The spot market seems to be apa-
theJic in the extreme, inasmuch as
there seems to be no desire on the
part of either spinners or exporters
TO buy at the present market figures.
The New York futures market was
extremely cratic, as was the case in

12,182,OOO BALES
 IS ESTIMATED CROP
GREAT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO PREVENT INFORMATION LEAKING OUT IN ADVANCE.

Washington. December 3.-Preliminary returns to the chief of the bureau of statistics, department of agriculture. show total production of cotton in the United States in the year 1so4-o5 of D. : 162.0OO bales. Round bales have been in- cluded in this estimate and reduced to their equivalent in square bales. The estimate does not include linters. The estimated production by states will be made public December 5 at Il a. m
 In the preparation and issuance of the cotton report, Secretary Wilson gave demonstrations of the precautions taken to avoid advance information leaking out. Representatives Burgess of Texas. and Ransdal of Louisiana, were invited by the secretary to witness the prepara- ton of the estimate. The party was lock ed in the private office of the station, 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 tho inc openinR of the report. The estimate of inc crop for the year 1904-05 was then prepared and sent out before any person in the room was permitted to leave or communicate with any person from the outside.
 Tn this manner the cotton estimates are invariably made" said Secretary VII son. and all human ingenuity Is used to prevent the leaking of information"

FILIPINO CHARACTER.
A People Who Never Say "No" and
 Never Do "Yes."

Fred W. Atkinson in the December
 Worlds Work.
 An experience of three years in the Philippines has brought me to the con- clusion that the Filipinos are incapable of self-government. They are managed by A few ambitious leaders. They have not yet cultivated a sense of fair play and tolerance for those who differ in opinion and yet, although the gift of self-government in full measure was not possible, the United States bestowed 1t to degree by granting practical auton- omy in provincial and municipal affairs. There are some six hundred towns in which natives have, fin tho main, the same control over their local affairs as is enjoyed by the residents of towns of corresponding size in the United States. But concentration of governmental bower has been found. Fss
 Very few of them. however. show ex- ecutive ability, and some of them betray obstinate inefficiency and inactivity. The tendency everywhere in the east Is in the direction of one-man power; and, too often in the Philippines, the mayor or provincial governor. dominates every

thing more than the pricipal social fes- tival of the year. Many of them think it is a kind of children's day, and noth- ing else. And so, in ignorance of It's origin, many a Jew who is so orthodox that he would not allow an English book to lie on a table touching volume of his holy Hebrew will yet permit his children to join in the merriment.
 Peddlers, and those who work in the factories, feel the difference in the sea son, and the increasing volume or pus- mess, and fall into sympathy with their general environment. very large num- Der of them give presents to the children, and allow them to hang up their stock ings on Christmas eve. They will not, however. have a tree in their rooms There are no Christmas dinners; the stores do not close. and the shops work on as usual. For their Santa Claus, the little ones must visit a settlement house, or their more fortunate friends whose parents are less strict And it is the less orthodox and their children who lead the way in adopting the new custom Little Rachel cries for a doll like Rebecca' 8 on the floor below, and her orthodox mother cannot resist her tears
 Christmas has so far made it's way among the Jews as a social festival that 1t already eclipses the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving day.
