BUREAUCOTTON REPORT
900 BALES WE'RE GINNED TO
 JANUARY 10.
Complaints Regarding Accuracy Have Been Investigated by Census De-
 pertinent, but no Material
 ErrOr Has Yet Been Found.

Washington. Feb. "A report issued by the Census Bureau today shows the quantity of cotton ginned from the growth of 1904 to January 16, to be 12,676, 1000, counting round bales as half bales. These consists of 12,524,777 squares, 2S9.027 round bales, and 9s,- 11O sea island bales.
 Counting the amount as running bales. the total is 13.912.S12. This was ginned by the 30.221 ginneries which were operated at some time this sea son prior to January 10th. The statistics of the cotton ginned to the corresponding date in 1904 show a total of 9,S59,277 bales. embracing 9,03S, ,S9O square bales, 247,48O round bales and 72,907 sea island bales and 30.171 active ginneries.
 In the canvass this January, SPA gin ners have refused returns or failed to report and the quantities previously re- turned by them have been brought for ward for this report without any addi- tion. The total quantity of cotton thus brought forward is 327,243 run ming bales. maximum estimate of the quantity ginned by these establish ments between December 13 and Jan uary 16. is S2.724 running bales. This estimate of 32,724 bales is not included in the above totals.
 Tn IhlS report no account has been taken of linters obtained by cotton seed oil mills from reginning cotton seed. Statistics of such cotton will be shown in the final report of this sea- son. which report will be issued about March 18th. The final report will dis tribute the crop by counties. segregate upland and sea island cotton and give weights of bales.
 In connection with this report the director states that every specific com plaint regarding the accuracy of the returns of the individual ginDers which has reached the census ofIice has been carefully investigated and no material error has thus far been found.
 The report by States and running bales follows:

 Futures opened steady at advance of 10 916 points on a sensationally good Liver. pool market. At the time of the opening of the local market .futures in the English market showed an advance of 13 and 14 points, although they were only due to ad- vance and points to fully respond to the stiff advances in the American markets yes &erday. Following this came the Government bureau ginners' report. Two or three errors were made in transmission. which gave the hears an opportunity to hammer the mar Ret. and they drove 1t down with a rush. The result was that the active months Showed Q loss of 9913 points when com Yared with the closing of yesterday and a loss of 24@27 points when compared with tpdayB first prices
 The bureau report, when strengthened out. showed that the total quantity of cotton eirlneI prior to Jan. 10th. counting round as half bales. was 12.767. 500 and to this was added S2.T24 bales as the maximum amount &inned between Dec. 18th and Jan. 18th kv s2A ginners who refused to give the census agents information This brought the amount of cotton ginned during the sea- son prior to Jan. 18th up to IT, 500. 324 bales. against 9.4s5.537 bales ginned during the same time last year. The bulls soon recov- ared from their apparent panic and the anarket recovered much of the earlier de- clines and closed steady. the list showing net losses of to points.

J. S. BACHE & CO.'S COTTON LETTER. (By Direct Private Wire to Virgin & Faunce,
 Managers: Phone 73s)

Managers: Phone 73s.)
 New York, Feb. I've have had very active and nervous market. although busi- ness has been curtailed to some extent by in the South. The event of the day was, of course. the completed report of the census bureau giving the amount of cotton gnned to Jan 18th, but before that report was re- celved the market ruled particularly active and irregular.
 Liverpool reported a strong advance and the opening here was il to IA points higher tracted heavy realizing and selling for short account on the theory that the census might prove more bearish than looked for.
 Before the census report was issued prices were back about 5 to points under last night. Following the repoEt there was jump of about 22 to 2s points from the low est. accompanied by excited covering.
 The report stated that 12.767600 bales had been ginned to Jan. 18th. against 9,4S5,- 537 bales to the same date last year. It was also stated that SPA gins had refused to report but that a maximum estimate of the amount ginned by them since the last reports would not be more than 32.724 bales so that the total ginned would be around 12.s00,000 bales After this date last year 33s, 900 bales were ginned. Ginning began earlier this season than last and as the amount ginned between Dec. 18th and Jan 10th this year is about 25 per cent less than last season it would not seem conservative to us to figuSe addition to the pres ent figures of more than 250,000 bales ex- port was issued a renewal of realizing caused a decline of about 12 from the best hut shorts continued very nervous. We think the advance has been more than Justified for so short c space and that the market should have reaction to be healthy.

year ago. although the increase to Jan 18th over last year Is 33 per cent, the actual growth would be 13134s0Oo and the usual allowance of per cent for linters and re- packs would bring the total up probably from this crop up to 1a. 500 900. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that Ahe supply of last years crop will be 3,500, 900 larger than the production of the year be- fore and about 2,O0o,0 bales over the max imum requirements of the world which. in last season. would bring the maximum sur plus to 2.469,000. whether 1t be in the hands of farmers the visible stocks of the world Some SPA gins failed to report: for their output from Dec. 18th to Jan 16th.

. Fruits Replace Flowers.

Fruits are replacing flowers as deco ations for the table. and for this pur- pose are used not fruit bought by the pound, but fruit on its branches. These branches are eutwined in the hanging lamps, forming a sort of cradle whence hang fresh entrants, shining cherries, pluIns with the bloom on them, golden apricots, etc. On the table. in little Hat 2 lass dishes shaped like leaves. are ar rauged cherries, cerrants and other fruit in season. These cut glass dishes are made in very practical form, with a second compartment in which arc placed powdered sugar and little spoon. There may be four or six of them, ot fairly large size, or else little ones may be chosen, in which case there should be one to each guest. New and ingenious ideas for laying the tables are being continually introduced. Thus beside the plates are placed small cres- cent-shaped plates for salad, aud some times delicate little silver knives and forks, used only for this purpose-as In the case of fish knives-are added Chicago Times Herald.

WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young Americans with a Genius for
 Invention.

A young man who at 21 had been b. fore the mast, had worked in the chemical department of 8 mill and had throughout the country patented tho rotating chamber for pistol. It waI not considered particularly valuable un. til after his first company that made 1t had failed and fights in Texas and witk the Seminoles in Florida proved iA worth. Tho Mexican war made . de- mand for it.
 The same mechanic, says tha Worlds Work, who did 80 much for early ax-making developed details In revolver-making. The American plan of not hesitaIng at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. Tho owner was probably tho first man to suggest the mining of harbors with torpedoea for defense, and he was the first to lay . submarine electric cable. One day . young man from Vermont came to his works.
 What can you do?" asked the su. perintendent
 "I'm . machinist, a toolmaker and diesinl1er and l can play q horn in . band" was the reply.
 He went to work the next day. A few years later he multiplied by 40 tho value Of certain labor in another fac. tory, and by another invention saved the company $50,O00 on contracts ai' ready made. Later. with a sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half. Since that time he has made forgings by the use of drops weighing as much as ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron steel and copper. An example of his in- yentive genius is the instance of his forging offhand from a single piece of copper >commutator bars for elsctrts dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such scheme was ina- possible.
