Mir. c. W. Bradley,
 New Haven, Ct. Dear Sir:

New Haven, Ct.
 Dear Sir:
 We thank you for your letter of Fist, concerning certain statements in our advertising. We take great pains to keep those statements strict ly within the lines of good taste, good sense and truth, and if we departfrom any of these we like to have our at tention called to if.
 As to the statement made some months ago and often repeated since that cotton goods would command higher price as soon as the present stocks were exhausted, we consider ourselves quite correct. Our present stock of manufactured cotton goods were sold to us when cotton was ten cents pound, and most of them are made from cotton that cost that price. The papers report that, in the recent slump in the market following the Sully failure, the mills supplied them selves for the coming season at an average price of l3 cents a pound. If this is true, cotton goods will cer- tainly be higher.
 Aside from this however, we feel that we were justified in our predic- ton then by the state of the cotton tmarket as it then was and by the fact hat we were daily receiving notices of advanced prices from manufactur- CTS. Very truly yours,
 THE EDW. VALLEY co.

 Gentlemen
 Your advertisements are gen. orally interesting and instructive. Apparently of late they have in one particular been incorrect and mislead- ing. The unalterable laws that gov ern "supply and demand" are like those of the Medes and Persians, fix ed and unmovable. You may have persistently forecasted a high price for cotton goods on account of the deficiency in the production of the raw material.
 On the contrary, bale cotton is SD plentiful in the great markets of the world, that in New York City, the price last week fell of in one day, thirteen dollars on bale.

ART OF BATTING THE BALL.
Bresnahan, the Giants' Best Hitter,
 Gives Points on the Game


 Gives Points on the Game. Confidence and good eye are the prln- cipal things baseball player must possess if he wishes t0 become a good batter, together with the ability to judge from the location of the oppos. ing fielders where they expect the man at the bat to hit the ball. The man who stands close to the plate while at the bat and bears in mind that every pitcher, no matter who he Is or what his reputation may be, must put the ball over the rubber can, with prac- tice, become good and, l may say, a dangerous hitter, even if he has not the natural ability of some of the great batter of the past and present says Roger Bresnahan in the Illus. trated Sporting News.
 One very bad fault many young players have is the habit of pulling away from the plate, as 1t Is called, when a ball looks as though 1t might possibly hit the batter. How many times have you seen man step back from a curved ball which second after "cut the plate" and was called a strike, much to his discomforture? The remedy for this, think, is sim pie one. which can be mastered by any young man possessing the neces- sary confidence: It Is simply !o step forward and meet the ball before it crosses the plate. In this way the ball Is always in front of the batter, and he Is, so to speak, on top of 1t before It breaks.
 Many pitchers have a puzzllng drop ball which looks easy and fades away from the bat when you strike at 1t. On the other hand, many of the best boXmen are now using rise ball pithced with side arm motion. A batter has much better chance to kill either of these balls by stepping into them to the limit of the batter's box as they approach the plate. The same thing applies to balls either on the In. side Or the outside of the plate.
 It Is much easier to hit the ball by running in on it. By meeting the ball early 1t can be sent In the direction of the left field. I'm old theory that if you wish to strike ball toward the right field you must strike at 1t after 1t has crossed the plate is pretty well exploded. By stepping in and meeting the ball in front of you it'1s just as easy, if not easier, to drive it toward eight field as it is to pull it into left a.ald

By his direction the American flag, which had been raised over the islands, was hauled down.

RousTAeouTs OF BIG RIVER.
Mississippi Steamboat Men Planning
 Change in Old eyatem.

<
 Change in Old System.
 Mississippi steamboat men are plan ming a change in the conduct of their business which may have far-reaching results, even away from the river country, says the New York Commer- cial Advertiser. Their plan is simply to substitute white for negro. labor in loading and unloading their boats, but the adoption of this plan is cer- tain to bring about more general shifting in the labor market. The com plaint against the colored man Is that he has become "so untrustworthy that tie steamboat business Is seriously hampered and the freight carrying trade seriously lnterfered with"
 This does not seem perfectly consist ent with the further statement that the mates and other officers prefer the ne groes for this work, though this seems to be admitted. The interesting phase of the whole matter Is the prediction that if the negroes are displaced at the docks they will go back to the cotton fields. where their labor is In real demand. The advocates of the change say that competent white men will be willing and glad to take the jobs on the river front, while inland the plan. tation owners are hard put to it to find tenants and laborers. If the situation were so simple as that the solution would be easy. The negro roustabout is not an institution of immemorial an- tiquity. White men, 1t appears, were used to advantage on the Mississippi steamboats in the early days, and the negroes came into the field only be- cause slave owners found there was money to be made by setting their hands to load steamboats. Those who are dissatisfied with negro labor, there fore, contend that they are merely re- storing original conditions.
 One difficulty in their plan is ap- parent at once. The roustabouts are said to be among the best paid labor. CTS in the country, receiving as much as $75 month, with lodging and four meals day. The attractions which have brought such numbers of country negroes to tile cities doubtless exer- else stronger influence on these men than on their fellows in less profitable calHngs. A field hands work may not appeal to them at the start, and, into the bargain, they may not make good deld hands. The "rouster" of the lower Mississippi, with his songs, his pondescript costume and his tremen. dous though spasmodic activity. has been so often celebrated in song and story that his loss would be felt by generation of dialect story writers.

MORE OFFICERS IN NAVY.
Rapidly Increasing Tonnage Not Met
 by Appointment.


 by Appointment.
 While the tonnage of the navy has doubled and trebled, the number of seagoing officers has not been increased at all and that of the enlisted men only to limited extent. Each session of Congress- as a rule, sees an increase in the tonnage; the increases In the men have come at rare intervals and on strong presentation by the Navy Department; whereas there has been no increase of officers.
 The completed and authorized ton mage by the last Navy Register. Jan uary, 1902, was In round numbers 75O,- 900 tons. This will require, when all the vessels shall have been finished. an enlisted force of 45,000 men and boys. In the meantime, to insure that eff cient crews shall be ready to man the completed ships, what Is needed now Is that the Secretary of the Navy shall have power to enlist men and train them as needed not to exceed the ratio as above determined.
 The average annual increase since the Spanish war dn one year there was no increase authorized> has been 54r- GOO tons. This Is by no means an e1- cessive rate; but. to be conservative and to allow for possible dlminutions, assume that 10000 tons (wo-thirds the current appropriation, will repre- sent the annual increase up to 1913. making a total at that time of ,24O,OOO tons. At the ratio as above given this would require 3,720 officers. There are now about 1,0G0 officers on the list, counting the midshipmen who have passed the four years course and are at sea. Thus, there must be an iD- crease of 2,660 officers all told.
 The annual waste Is now by law about per cent Suppose all volup tary retirements stopped and the waste cut down to per cent The average list from now till 1913 would be 2,390, per cent of which Is 72 annually, or about 790 in eleven years, which. add ed to 2.660, makes 3,450, the number of graduates required for the eleven years. There will be this coming year at the academy 466 midshipmen (49c less than twenty-nine for the new ap- portlonment not yet in effecD. Suppose three-fourths of them graduate, say $50. This, taken from the total num- Der as above-that is, 3,4o0-leaves 3,100 to be appointed and graduated under the new law. As the first ap- pojntment cannot be made till 1903, the first graduation will not be until 1907, and there will be seven classer altogether, up to and including 1913. Hence 3, 100 must be divided by seven. which gives AS as the number of an- nual graduates.
 Assuming still that three-fourths of those appointed graduate, says writer in the North American Review, there must be 591 appointments annually, be- ginning right away, or as soon as Con- gress can act, in order to have the navy officered to the lowest estimate of efficiency by 1913. This would mean a mldshipman battalion of about 2,000, instead of the present 800, roundly; or for the next ten years an appointment by each Senator and Representative, not .vNry four years, as now, but every gear or oftenar.
