fight Last years crop was exceptionally
good, and 1t has been estimated that there
will be at least 1000, 600 bales available sur
plus to add to the new crop. Reports made
by members as to the conditions prevailing
in the countries represented showed that the
European cotton industries have on hand
ample supplies to cover their engagements
for the next three or four months
with possibly a few exceptions, cotton
spinners do not need to enter the cotton
market before the new cotton crop arrives
at the end of October. What we propose to
do, therefore, is simply to keep out of it
and let the cotton spectators deal as best
they can with the situation they have Great
ed. If some of them come to grief we
shall shed no tears. 1t isn't going to be our
funeral this time.
Misleading figures as to the extent of
the new crop have been circulated in the
interests OF the SPECTATORS. When accu-
rate figures come in we shall consider the
situation and take whatever steps may be
necessary to meet 1t, should tho supply
prove less than the demand. We are deter
mined that spectators shall not control the
market. As for the American cotton grow
ers, we have none but the best feeling Tor
them. We wish them to get fair price TOT
their raw material, and are willing to pay
It. Even II the most sanguine expectations

GIUSEPPE NIcoLAo DEAD.
He Was One Of Adelina PATHS First
Teachers

Giuseppe Nicolao who was one of Adelina
PATHS first music teachers, died in poverty
in New York yesterday, aged eighty years.
He was born in Palermo, and was gradu-
ated from the College OF Music in that city.
When a young man he brought small
opera company to America, but the enter
prise failed. Afterward he took up teach
ing. and when she was fifteen years Of age
Adelina Patti was placed under his tuition
by Max Strakosch. studying operate roles
for two years. Mr.. Nicolao was conductor
at the Academy OF Music fourteen years.
Then he went to South America and to
Cuba with his own opera company, winning
artistic success, but failing to gain wealth.
He returned to this country and was for
several years associated with Col. Mapleson.
He organized another company, which came
to grief In Detroit. In that city he re-
manned for seventeen years teaching music,

Confidently anticipate that public sentiment

American cotton manufacturers hato

ton is a more vital one in England than 10
any other continental nation engaged IN the
Industry, because 1t Is a vastly bigger one
here. While they manufacture chiefly TOT
their own populations we send our sooos

they can no longer afford to buy. But the
continental manufacturers are in hearty &C.

while American cotton, roughly speaking.
represents three-quarters of the world s
supply an artificial enhancement OF Its
nrice is followed by a similar increase In
the price of the material from other sources.
The price at which American cotton Is held
controls the market price for the rest OF the
world. 1t is for that reason that We have
decided not to purchase American cotton for
the next hree months.

manage without purchasing cotton for three

COTTON SPECTATORS
EUROPEAN SPINNERS PLAN WAR
ON PRICE MANIPULATION.

An emergency meeting of the Internation-
al Federation of Master Cotton Spinners
and Manufacturers Associations was re-
Gently held In London, at which II was de-
clded to urge every cotton spinner in Eu-
rope and America to refrain from buying
American cotton during the months of
August, September and October. except
what may be wanted for immediate use.
This Is very important step on the part
OF the representatives OF the cotton indus
try" says the current consular and trade
report, and is intended 10 prevent an ar
tificial imitation OF prices. A brief news
dispatch published Immediately following
the meeting was published, but in view Of
the Importance OF the movement, an inter-
view published in the London papers with
W. C. NIAGARA, who presided over the gath
ering, will be OF special interest to those
engaged In the cotton industry In this
country. Mr. NIAGARA said:
Not Hostile Movement.
II am particularly anxious that It should
be understood In America that this is In no
sense a movement hostile to the American
cotton-growing industry. The decision we
have reached has been forced upon US by
the necessity OF taking some step to coun-
teract the pernicious effect on the trade
brought about by the recent enormous en-
hancement of the price of the raw ma
terial due to the action of speculative rings.
We are united and we are in deadly earnest.
Although the meeting was summoned by
telegraph, IL was attended by representa-
tives OF the association from all over Eu-
rope. The Master Cotton Spinners' Asso-
citation in England. of which am the pres
ident alone stands for 80. 00O, 600 spindles.
We deliberated on the matter for over six
hours before we formulated our agree
ment.
I'VE hold that there is nothing more I'M
portant for this great. worldwide cotton
industry than to rid II of the curse of gam
bling in It's raw material. Every penny per
pound that Is added to the cost of the raw
material by this process represents an ad-
vance OF many millions OF pounds sterling
In the cost OF the worlds supply. Last year
the cotton crop was raised by this means
i speak OF average prices-from 4 pence a
pound, which would have been a fair price,
to pence a pound. In American money
that means a rise in price from cents TO
IA cents pound. / have calculated that It
resulted in taking out of the industry
100000. 000-roughly speaking, $500 COG, 600
in your money.
Speculative Gangs at Work.
'In the main the gamblers alone have
prohted by IT, and manufacturers, opera
tives and consumers have suffered by It.
The repetition Of this sort of thing will de-
moralize the whole industry, inflict incalcu-
liable loss and suffering, and involve thou
sands in ruin. Now that We perceive the
same speculative gangs at work again, and
have already succeeded in greatly increas-
ing the price of raw material. we are de-
termined to exercise every means In our

Discussions by White Ribboners at
First CONGREGATIONAL Church.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union held a service at the First Congre-
gational Church yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
Clinton Smith, the president of the Dis
trict w. C. T.. u, presiding. The meeting
was opened with a Scripture reading by
Mrs. c. w. Gallagher, and the principal
address was delivered by Mrs. Helen l..
Bullock of New York, her subject being
''The Old World and the New"
Mrs Bullock spoke of the temperance
work in foreign lands. and said the 10000
comfort bags prepared In Japan for their
ment. and there was demand for more
copies among the soldiers. She regarded
Japan as having the best organized Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union In the
world. with the exception Of America.
II speaking of Great Britain she said
that legislation prevented the employment
of any new barmaids, and that reduction
in the number Of licensed saloons had
made a corresponding reduction in the
police force possible.
In Germany the large increase in insan-
ity is traceable to the beer-drinkfng habit,
and the authorities are becoming interested
in the introduction of scientific temperance
France and Russia, she stated. are each
making some progress along temperance
lines.
The speaker was proud, she said, as an
organization to have conferred the white
ribbon, the emblem of the w. c. T. u, on
more than $4,000 persons. Her plea to the
audience was to save the children from
impurity and intemperance."
A brief address was made by Mrs. Bid
well of California.
The service closed with a benediction by
Rev. c. w. Gallagher.
