THE SITUATION AS TO COTTON,

Recently Secretary Hester of New
q. leane, stated that up to January /,
the "visible cotton was 1858, coo
bales, against 1861 1000 at that time
last year. Stocks at seaboards and
twenty nine leading interior towns
were approximately LOST, 900 bales
greater than year ago. -
ikDuring the last twelve months the
price of cotton as quoted has fallen
from IS cen to g cents. Twelve
months ago spinners would not buy
because pr ces were 'fctit1ons Now
farmers will not sell for the same
reason.
Here and there lots of spot cotton are
bought up at one fourth cent above
quotations for grade to satisfy con
tractP. The spinners are not buying
freely. 1t Is a speculatyr's market.
Neither spinners nor farmers are &C.
tive agents.
The mills contracted for cotton free
ly at 9 and 10 cen 8. There is inside
information showing that word was
passed around among the mills IN No.
vember that ''cotton at cents was q
good proposition" The mills expected
to pay fair pri e for cotton.
Had ali the cotton in the back coun-
try been dumped on the market al
prices prevailing the last thirty days
the loss would have been enormous
The South is facing conditions, MOI
theorie", in this matter. Unless
measures are put into operation the
price of cotton on the five million now
in the South, and the entire crop of the
new year, will be saddening.
SIX cent cotton Is worse now than 4.
| cent cotton twelve years ago, because
of high prices ruling in all lines.
The farmers and business men mus
see to it that the cotton market is not
broken by unloading heavily upon i
at this critical season. This Joint pur
pose IS already evident and will VII
the fight for fair price for our grea
staple.

The Fashionable Fancies in Furs.

OF all the cuts Of fur garments the

As an example Of transitory stvle
may be mentioned a fetching Eton coat.

and around the bottom Of the coat. and
the effect is quite stunning. So is the
price Of such coat.

turned-up cuffs, rolling revers of err

worn. For skating and walking pur-
poses one could scarcely get a more
practical and attractive wrap.
Another practical short coat is made
something on the order OF a blouse,
rather full and loose in front and worn
with a satin belt at the bottom. It has
a rolling collar, which merges into

Squirrel Iineo Coats

~ QUIRREL lined coats, which
might be said to have first made
their appearance last autumn, al
though seen before that in the
more expensive and handsomer cloaks,
still are decidedly in the foreground this
year. They have become rather COM
mon. having been sold in such astonish-

able, useful coat nothing better could
be found. Instead of the squirrel collar
a handsomer fur is now used, the kind
of animal depending. of course. upon
the price of the garment or vice versa.
Even the most inexpensive of these Fur
lined cloaks VIII prove useful. although
a costly garment is bound to show its
true worth. For hack wear in the coun-

length for this coat is a long three
quarter, reaching a few inches below
the knees. IF not made to fasten closely
about the throat the fur should be put
on in such a way that it can be fasJen-
ed over at the neck so that the cloak
can be worn with an evening gown. The
