Say They Confidently Look for n
Runaway Market.

runaway Market
New York, March 12.-There is very
little use of figures as a rule. for spec
ulators, and yet figures in the end in
dicate supply and demand and this ra-
ito makes prices.
At the present time figures on the
supply of cotton are the most bullish
we have ever seen. There is no get
ting around the fact that unless re-
lief comes from some quarter, there
will be a scramble for the last of the
crop. The visible supply of American
cotton is 100000 bales less than last
year, 100000 less than two years ago,
and 100000 bales less than three years
ago.
From now on there will be less cot
ton coming in than during either of
the past two seasons. This means the
visible supply at the end of the season
will be difficult to discover with the
naked eye. What will be the result.
Liverpool is 100000 bales less than last
year. and has got to have a pile of
cotton before the next crop. Under
these circumstances, one can look Cor
a runaway market at any time, and we
can see nothing but good trade in
the end. We would continue on the side
of higher prices.

SPOT COTTON MARKET.

The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange yesterday:
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-13

Notwithstanding the fact that yes
terday was a half day. cotton more
than held its own. True. it was that
the cables were more than disappoint-
ing, but the light receipts more than
made up for this contingency.
The visible supply statistics were ex-
tremely bullish showing 100000 bales
of cotton less than at this time last
year, and Liverpool shows a falling
off of more than 100000 bales.
These facts tended to give a strong
tone to the market.
Traders, as a rule, are inclined TO
buy. and a well-knOwn broker received
a wire from New Orleans yesterday
to this effect:
Whatever you do, don't sell the
market" This more than demonstrates
how cotton is being regarded at the
present time.
The New York market opened quiet
and steady and closed several points
up.
Liverpool spots were points down,
and futures were degrees removed
from the top.

THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.

Oh a wonderful stream is the River Tine
AS IL flows through the realm OF years,
With a fauItless rhythm and musical rhyme.
And a broader sweep and surge sublime
AS il blends with the ocean or years.
How the winters are drifting like fakes or snow
And tho summers like buds between;
And the years in the sheaf-so they come and 20
On the rivers breast with its ebb and flow.
AS they glide In the shadow and sheen
There's a magical isle up the River Time
Where the softest OF airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and tropical cline.
And a voice as sweet a vesper chime,
And the June with the roses are staying
And the name OF the isle Is the Long Ago.
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows Of beauty and bOsoms OF snow
There are heaps OF dust, but we loved them sol
There are trinkets and tresses Of hair,
There are fragments OF song that nobody sings.
And a part of an infants prayer.
There's a harp unswept and a Lutte without strings
And the garments she used TO
