tie calculation, h crop nf eleven,
ard une quarter l.ilIiou bales Is
the maximum to he expected.
How far this maximum may be-
reduced by unreasonable weather
early frosts and the increasing de-
predations Of tn. boil weevil and
other insect enemies, it Is as yet
impossible to foretell
POSSIBLE MAXIMUM.
"But, for the sake of argument,
let us figure on the possible max
imum not only for this season but
for the next two Or three years.
1t smy contention that, by virtue
OF constant expansion in the
worlds requirements and the fact
that there is no substitute for cot
ton, and in view of the encroach-
ment on manufactured reserves
due 10 recent short crops and the
exhaustion of reserve raw mas
terial, it would take every one of
these eleven and quarter mnl
lion bales (i G. the maXium crop)
for at least three seasons to restore
normal parity IN the relation be-
tween raw material and manufac
turcd. In support of this con-
tention | may quote from the first
of series of articles on the cotton
requirements of Great Britain now
being publish ed simultaneously in
the New York Times and in the
London Times the following par
agrarh:
"'1st. Stated in single sen
tence, the present position amounts
to this: The worlds supply of
cotton is no longer equal to the
worlds demand.
" '2nd. The estimated yearly
Increase in the demand is put ut
from 400, 900 to 100000 bales,
and not only is the present pro.
duction inadequate, but IN another
ten years an additional 100000
bales may be required. Ian :
cushire's shortage for the last
year or two may he put at H.
600. 600 bales
"For the foregoing reasons,
coupled with the fact that the
south is in a position of greater
independence than heretofore for
the exercise of Il sound discretion
in marketing the coming crop,
with means at hand for holding
whatever cotton it may be con-
sidered desirable to keep off the
market, my deliberate conclusion
is that the south is abundaltlv
able and ought to fix as the min
imum price fer the first move
ment of this seasons cotton 10
cents pound. BY doing this our
planters, merchants and bankers
will be in a position to get the
benefit of any rise due to climatic
or ether conditions which may be
developed while the crop is being
picked. "

Ten Cents Cotton Mr.. Morse
Expects.
He Thinks Farmers Can Fix the
Price Believes Eleven and "A
Quarter Million Bales is a
Maximum Estimate
for 1904-O5
Special TO The State.

Baltimore Aug. "a. In view
of the world>wIde interest in the
probable yield of cotton this year
and of the remarkably close ap-
Proclamation of lat years yield
made far'in advance of the govern
ments estimate, by Mr.. S. F.B.
Morse, then member of the
firm of Daniel j. SulIy II Co.. i,
Mr.. Morse's estimate of the crop
this year is of unusual interest.
Identified as Mr.. Morse had
been for many years with the fight
for fair prices Of cotton, his esti-
mates of a syield not exceeding
II, ,25O,000 bales this year will
. command universal attention.
Data gathered by him last year
was the foundation for the bull
campaign making possible the
vast additions to the income of
southern farmers, for the data
proved the great shortage of the
crop. In an interview published
in this weeks Manufacturers Re-
cord, MIR. Morse takes the posi>
tion that excited speculation and
appalling fluctuations are not the
best means for the attainment of
fair prices to the grower. His
contention now is that the south
Is able and ought, through the use
Of Legitimate business methods, to
secure permanently fair prices
from the world spinners for a
natural monopoly. In his inter>
view commenting upon the dis
'ussion by d. A. Tompkins, pub
llshed last week, of the question
chow to maintain fair average
price for cotton" taken in CON
pection with a recent interview as
to cotton conditions from Brit
ish standpoint, Mr.. Morse SAYS:
NO MORE STARVATION PRICES.
The business brains of the
south have now within reach cvery
necessary facility for the preven-
ton of any recurrent of starvation
prices for the south's great staple
without having to invoke the aid
of speculative fcrces of sort of
kind. 1t isa purley business
proposition to determine cotton
values by averaging the price Of
preceding periods and estimating
the increased necessities of the
world. From careful studyof sta
tistlcs and a conservative estimate
of expansion in consumption, it
is my opinion that 10 cents per
pound is the minimum price the
south should make up it's mind to
take for its cotton year in and
year out 80 long as it holds
virtual monopoly in cotton pro,
duction. That this can be done bv

and an abatement of existipo
evils in handling is admitted bv

he replied, "for any one to form

made now must necessarily be
based on impressions rather than
upon opinions, though there are
several conditions surrounding
the growing crop which have
already become clearly appar.

JAPs BEING REINFORCED.

Mukden, Nov. 1.-The japanese army
is rapidly being reinforced and IL is
expected the new troops viii shortly
reach from forty to sixty thousand.
This greatly complexities the problem
confronting the Russian commander. The
whole energies of the Russians must be
devoted to holding their positions unless
they can bring up large achievements
speedily. Even in that case the situa-
ton promises to become increasingly diff
ficult. The Japanese Notifications al
ready are far too strong, supported as
they are by siege guns and rapid fire
pieces. to be carried by frontal as
scult.
Possibly these fortiications might
yield to a turning movement which
would force the Japanese TO retire but
this would require great superiority in
numbers, for the Russians must hold
their center with a force at least equal
to that of the japanese. in order to pre-
vent the latter from cutting through and
