MARKET THE CROP SLOWLY.

Advice of Cotton Growers Protective
 Association.
 At the annual session of the Southern Cotton Growers Protective Association held on the Worlds Fair grounds. St. Louis, September 26. 1904. where several hundred progressive cotton planters were present, representing every cotton growing State in the South, tn efollowing resolutions were introduced and unanimously passed
 "Resolved, by the Southern Cotton Growers Protective Association. in con vention at St. Louis. September 26, 1904, that we urge as fully as 1t is in our power to do so. that every cotton pro- ducer of the South place a minimum price of 10 cents per pound on all cot ton to be hereafter marketed this sea- son; that no cotton of middlfng grade be put on the market, if the market at any time, due to the fiuctuating in
 iuences of ejaculation, falls below the minimum price of 10 cents; that each and every producer is urged to market his crop as slowly as possible, believing that If the crop is marketed slowly through the months of October and November the price of cotton can be maintained at 12 cents per pound. its true value at the present time, the balance of the season.
 Your committee Iurtner recommends that this Association insist upon tho better handling of cotton to the end that our cotton when prepared for the market may be placed in more accep- table. merchantable condition. thereby eliminating many of the abuses to which the staple Is now subjected"
 Up to the present time the producers have stood firm from North Carolina to the Brazos River, Texas, holding a mart of their crop and refusing to throw it upon tAe market at prices under 10 cents per pound with the most deter mined efforts on the part or the bear SorTned to deprssB prices. the market has orI,, bsen fo~ced down fifty points hIio,., o,,r rninir,,lr lri price of 10 cents.

BETTER COTTON PRICES
COMMISSIONER R. n. POOLE MAKES
 A rREDHCTION.
Dsclasss that sixty-fve Per Cent . Crop Has Keen Gathered-
 Fnrmers are Happy ana

eT believe solidiy that by Novem- Der IS there will be such break Tn cotton receipts that prices VIII turn the market looking upward more than
 was ever dreamed at the peginnihs oi the crop gathering.
 Afternoon by Commissioner Robert K.
 Poole, of the. State Agricultural De- partment, on his return from Marengo county where he spent a few days. IA spoke with the utmost confidence of the future of the cotton market. The anticipated break In the cotton receipts the country oyer Is due to the remarkable rate of handling the sta- pie this year as compared with pre- vious years. Hundreds of new cotton gins in the State of Alabama alone and almost ideal weather conditions | for harvesting the crops have rushed the cotton to the market this year. According to Commissioner Poole, as much as sixtyfive per cent of the cotton crop of 1904 was received by the middle of October. The extended dry spells at propitious intervals since l that date in various portions of the South have afforded enough opportun- l ity for the farmer to harvest a great
 portion of the remaining thirty-hve per cent.
 1hO ram we arc hdNiu6 N1Qht- gomery Is being enjoyed in MarenGo county and all of the western part of the State" said the commissioners. The crops are all out and everybody lis happy. The farmers have been un-
 usually thrifty this year and have had very favorable season. Money Is in
 the pocket of both the white man and
 the negro.
 The cement output around Demop-
 slio Is growing at wonderful rate. The plants will average at least 500
 barrels aday."
 What is your estimate at the pres ent time of what the government re-
 port is going to show for cotton this year?" was asked the commissioner by a representatives of The Advertiser. "In nay opinion the government fis- ures of this year will clearly outstrip
 those of 1903. The number of bales will be not under ten million and 8
 half. I look for the crop to be ten
 million and three-quarters," answered
 the commissioner.
 The effect of the rain for the past two days, which IS nearly universal over the farming section of the State,
 will be to permit the farmers to plant
 oats The cold weather that may follow the rain will hasten the dig eing of seed sugar cane. Reports from the sugar cane sections indicate that little seed cane has been upturned.

coNTRABAND or wAR-

London, Nov 3.--Further corresponds ence regarding the question of contTa- band of war. the outcome of the visit of a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce to Premier Balfour on Au- gust 25. has been issued in the form or a letter from Foreign Minister Lans- downe. dated November 2. Dealing with the present position of the subjects Lord Lansdowne says:
 '@The Russian Government met all the representations made by his Hia- jesty's Government and the United States In conciliatory spirit, and it ( understood that Russian naval com manders have been recently furnished with supplementary instructions which his matesty's Government has every reason to believe will be interpreted In a liberal spiirt and result in their exercising their belligerent rights for the future in less rigorous and vexas tlous manner"
 Lord Lansdowne adds that SO far as the Government has been able to ascer- tain after careful inquiry there is no satisfactory evidence in the support of the frequent assertion that more fa- vored treatment was extended by the Russian authorities to German vessels than was accorded to British ships. though German firms have benefited owing to the unwillingness of British owners to carry on trade with Japan under the existing uncertainty as to the Russian interpretation of their pre- vious declarations regarding contra-s band"
 Lord Lansdowne refers to the sinking of the steamer Knight Commander and the condemnation of the cargoes of oth- CT vessels, and says these are forming the subject of an appeal to the Supreme Admiralty Court at St. Petersburg and that both his majesty's Government and that of the United States have every reason to hope that the findings will be reversed. The resul, however must be awaited. Other claims aris- ing out of cases now pending in tha courts are in course of preparation and will be put forward as soon as circums stances permit

CLASH WITH POLICE
STUDENTS AND PATRoLMEN FIGHT
 IN BOSTON.
Four of the Boys and Four of the Off, flcers Are So Badly Hurt They
 Go to Hospital.

Boston, Nov. 2.--At least twenty-five persons were injured during clash between the students of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology and police reserves shortly after midnight. Of the number injured twenty were stu dents. Most of the injuries consisted of scalp wounds and body bruises.
 Four students and four officers were so seriously injured as to require their removal to hospitals. Others were treated at drug I~stores and houses. Those students sent to the hospital were Herbert c. Spear, Frederick Back man, Victor Gebnor, H. c. Higgins.
 The trouble occurred on the steps of Rogers Hall. one of the technology buildings, in Boylston Street, where the students had gathered. following the joint parade last night of Republi- can clubs of Harvard University and of the Institute of Technology. The police had determined to keep the stu dents from the steps of the building. and when the college men made a rush up the steps, they were met by officers with drawn clubs and a fight ensued. The officers used their clubs freely and soon many of the college men were bleeding from wounds on the face and head.
 Hundreds of students hurried to the support of their fellows and the police in turn summoned assistance with the results that soon 150 officers were en- gagged with four times as many stu dents. It was half an hour before the police were masters of the situation.
 President Henry J. Pritchett of the Institute of Technology. was on the scene soon after the fight started and assisted in caring for the injured. While withholding judgment in the case President Pritchett expressed his opinion that the police had acted some- what hastily.

of foreign, capital. At one time many Of the largest railroad systems in the country were owned abroad. Among the railroads an actual majority of which was at one time held abroad are Pennsylvania. Louisville and Nashville Chicago Great Western, Ontario and Western. St. Paul and Missouri Kan sas and Texas. With the possible ex- ception of Chicago Great Western all of the railroads are now controlled in this country. With the exception of Pennsylvania and Chicago Great wes- tern, the control of all of these rail- roads is held in New York. Over 35 per cent of the stock of Pennsylvania Is owned in New York and the finan- cia1 management of the company Is
 largely determined by New York capi- talists.
 Among the other important railroad systems the control of which is held ir New York are Southern Railway, IiIi- pois Central. Seaboart Air Line, Erie. Reading. New York Central, Lacka- wanna. Lehigh Valley, Wabash, Mis- souri Pacific, Texas and Pacific and St. Louis Southwestern. The extensive Rock Island system Is controlled by the Moores. who have permanently ta- ken up their residence in New York. The capitalization of the railroads con- trolled by New York interests has been roughly estimated at between $s,0o0.- ooo.ooo and sIo.oo0, ,000. 900.
 One of the interesting features of the present railway situation is the fact that the present owners have never been very much of railway builders. In most of the cases the capital which built the great lines was either se- cured from abroad or from other parts of the American continent than New York. It was after the lines had been put in operation that the New York men began to secure control.
 In the majority of cases the New York capitalist was able to step in when the completed lines hccanie in- volved in financial dificulties. stage through which nearly all of the great lines have passed, and secure a con- trolling interest. During the last de- cade the reorganization of the railways of the country has lesulted in the merging of the controlling of all the major lines into the hands of the big magnates in Wall Street.
 Probably the most important of re- cent developments in railway concen- tration is the rapid entrance of the Standard Oil company into railway
 management. The St. Paul is a prop erty of the Standard interests, and the Missouri. Kansas and Texas is practl- cally entirely within its control. It is claimed the Standard people have a big block of the Pennsylvania stock and also that they are a formidable rival of the Vanderbilts in the management of the New York Central. 1t has be- gun to be said that they are causing trouble in the management of the Har- riman lines. particularly the Union Pa, cific. Among the lines in which they are interested on a smaller scale may be mentioned the Gould properties, the Lackawanna and the Chicago and Northwestern
