Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Oct 21.-The whole
stock list shared in the strength and
animation today, but not in equal de-
gree, the same marked partiality be-
ing shown for low priced stocks as
in the active revival of speculation
yesterday. A large majority of the
widest movements today will be found
amongst stocks selling below fifty
The speculative revival is based upon
the expectations that the strain in the
money market has passed and that
easier conditions may now be looked
forward to. The bank statement did
not come up fully to expectations in
its strong features, but the recupera-
ton disclosed was accepted in the
speculation as of good promise The
tone of foreign money markets was
also easier and stocks were benefited
accordingly. In spite of the dull busi-
ness of Saturday foreign exchange
rates made a further aggressive ad-
vance here and the possibility of an
early export of gold received addition
al discussion. The stock market, how
ever was unaffected by this consider
alton and closed active and strong.

New York, Oct 21.-The situation
i'm the dry goods market did not i'm
prove today in fuller sales. Firmness
was the principal feature of the situa-
ton and the buyer admitted the diff
cult,- in securing deliveries. This was
the most potent factor in sustaining g
the market. The better weather con-
ditions were a bullish influence.
New York Cotton.
New York, Oct. 21.-The cotton
market opened easy at a decline of 4
to points under realizing and selling
for a reaction owing to Disappointing
cables and less unfavorable weather
map than was expected. Several points
reported frost, however, and New Or
leans wires predicted a cold wave be-
fore Monday and the market received
pretty good support at the decline.
Fluctuations, consequently, were ir-
regular with prices during the middle
of the morning steady at net decline
of Z to points.
Receipts of cotton at the ports to-
day 40,066 bales, against 49.1S6 last

The above is suggestive, not
absolute, but it is well within the
limits of probability. You will
say that there would not be much
money profit even IN the last stat
ed case, with cotton at Z cents.
We'll, no; but it is much better
than making 40 bales on 100 acres
at cost of 7 cents and selling it
mt 7 cents.
The truth is, land that with
goo l cultivalien>and without ferti.
lizatlon will not produce more
than SO bales on 100 acres is hard
ly fit to plant in cotton, even if it
be literally fertilized, uRless there
is an assured prospect Of selling
1t at 8 or 10 cents per pound,
Such land ought to be planted in
oats, cowpeas, sorghum or Ber-
muda grass, which costs but little
to plant and cultivate, and the
product Of which may be consum-
ed on the farm.
What about the hundreds of
acres planted annually in cotton
that average very far less than
40 bales to the 100 acres say,
not more than Is or 20 bales to
the 100 acres2 If all such be re-
tired from cultivation in corn or
cotton, and put into less expensive
crops, or pasture, the problem of
the "cotton situation" aidel by a
diversification, liberal manuriDg
and fertilization, would be com.
pletely and permanently solved.

liz"r Will he ut thus increase
the yield Per acre by at least one,
half, 30 that he will get 80 halcs
from The 80 acres? The "fXed
charges" in LABOR, interest, sup
erintendents, etc, will be no
greater per acre on the so acres
than they were formerly on the
100 acres, or jusL half IA much
for producing the 40 bales.
He will have produced on the
SO acres 80 bales, whereas before
be produced only &c bales (the
half of 40 bnles) on that area
This gain of 10 bales is due almost
entirely to the use of 50 worth of
fertilizers per acre, or 800 worth
on the so acres, making the 10
bales cost SO each, or 2 cents per
pound-ready to pick, or 3 cents
per pound baled ready for market
OF course these 10 bales, or 5000
pounds, are distributed through
out the 90 bales The 90 bales
that the so acres Of land produced
of itself we have supposed to have
cost Z cents per pound or 800
for the 90 bales
The 10 bales of increase cost
500, plus the cost of picking,
$50; total, $50. Of course then
the so bales will have cost 800,
plus $50, or II grand total of
$3.50 for the 80 bales, of 81 cents
per pound of lint.
The suppositiDn on which these
calculations are based are all
within very moderate bounds, and
are used only to illustrate the
principal. And much more liher-
al application of fertilizers per
acre would make IL still stror ger
illustration.
Therefore it SCENE TO me plain
that the farmer should produce u
larger percentage of that individ
ual portion of each bale that c0ste
only 3 cents per pound. If one
half Of each bale of cotton costs 3
cent perlpound and the remaining
half costs Z cents per pound, then
1t is quite clear that the mean cost
of the bale Of cotton would he un
exact mean between S and Z, or
centsper pound. If one-third only
of the bale cost 3 cents Ter pound
and the remaining two-thirds costs
7 cents per pound, the whole bale
will have cost 81 cents per pound
If one-fourth of the bale cost
cents per pound and the remain.
ing three-fourths costs Z cents
per pound, then the whole bale
will have cost 6 cents per pouud.
