COTTON ESTIMATES
CONSIDERABLY DELAYED

Washington, Oct a6.-A total of a.
o4o,728 bales OF cotton ginned in the
United States is the statement announc-
ed in bulletin issued by the census
bureau. In this calculation round
bales are counted as half bales and the
figures given in the bulletin are based
on reports made by the bureaus spec
ial agents in the field.
No estimate is made OF the total crop
Tor the year, but figures are given out
concerning crops OF former years.
These figures show that up to this date
in 1904, the product Of the gins had
reached a total of .6.4I7,So4 bales out
Of a total OF I3,oo3,27o bales for the
year. In 1908, the total production
was Io,o45,o15 bales, and the ginning
output up to October IS was 3, 7o6, ,24S;
in 1892 the total was Io,827,I68 and the
output to October IS, wasy 5,683,oo6
Ioday's report covered It, ,286 ginneries
and the statements upon which it was
prepared were supplied by telegraph
by 7o2 special agents in the field, most
OF them representing one county each.
The fact that the bulletin was not is
sued until o'clock two hours after the
usual time, caused some complaint
from brokers in different cities and
some OF these which reached the bureau
before the document was given to the
public, were OF sensational character
These are summarized in the follow
ing from Secretary Hester OF the New
Orleans Cotton exchange: s. Al

TON ARMY PEOPLE CON-
MENcEs TOMORROW.
Funds Collected Go Into Charity Fund
of the Army and Distributed to
All Parts of the World.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of
the week of self-denial with the Sal
walton Army, and throughout the whole
world each member of the army will
deny himself of some of the necessi-
ties of life, contributing the price of
that article to the general fund col
lected during the self denial week.
Each corps Of the army is given an
amount to raise during the week by
the division officers, the target as it
is called. This amount is raised by
public collections, self-denial among
the soldiers and by voluntary contri-
buttons by friends.
This fund is sent to the division
headquarters and there entered into

tributed to every part of the civilized
world to me applied to the numerous
works of relief conducted by the
branches of the Salvation Army
The scope of work carried on I'M
ostentationsly by this army may be
better imagined by reference to a few
statistics of the organizations:
In the world there are 40 countries
occupied by the Salvation Army; the
work is carried on in 81 different Ian
guages; 1,47S,0OO meetings are held
per annum, throughout the world;
there are 45,339 local officers in the
army; needy children registered, 1885,
600; there are $50 shelter and food de-
pots, with accommodations for $4,000
people; there are II prison gate

colonies with an acreage of 1882 acres
In the United States are 3,773 Off
GERS, cadets and employees; 9S3 out
posts, slum stations and social insti-
tutions for the relief and betterment
of the poor; 100000 was spent in re-
lief work; there are 100 industrial
homes, wood yards, stores and other
establishments connected with the
army, with an income of $350,000 which
is redistributed in relief work.

toners are not entitled to any consid-
Grafton.
The language of the answer is such
a bold declaration that it has created
great surprise among the persons in
terested in the case. 1t is as follows:
THE said copartnership was organ
lied for the purpose of carrying on a
bucketshop, so called, that said bust
ness consisted in wagering with other
parties upon the future price quota
tions, ON the exchange of stocks, grain
and other produce as compared with
the then prices thereof, and not other
wise, all of which, upon information
and belief, defendant AYERS was at all
said dates and times fully known to
the plaintiff and his associates, or any
of them, but AYERS that if he ever had
eacn and all Of such business and deal
ings were as plaintiff and all parties
to such business and dealings were as
plaintiff and al parties to such bust
ness and dealings fully understood and
agreed mere wagers upon the future
prices quoted on the exchanges and
board of trade, of stocks, grain and
other products, as compared with the
then quoted prices thereof, and where
in and whereby no actual purchases or
sale or delivery was contemplated by
either party, but the one party was to
pay and the other receive the differ
ence between the agreed price and the
market price at a future time on the
exchange or board of trade, and the
one party was to bear the risk of a
rise and the other of a fall in price"
Cummings advertises that he is
member of the Minneapolis chamber of
commerce, and that his stock trades
are placed in through one of the Min
neapolis houses which mas a seat in the
New York stock exchange.

HE HAS A NOVEL DEFENSE.
Cummings Says Bueketshop Patrons
Not Entitled to Consideration.

FARGO, N. D., April ia suit has
been commenced in the district court
in this city by William Rickter of Great
Falls, Mont, against A. J. Cummings
& Co., grain and stock brokers with
Offices in this city and headquarters at
st. Paul The amount involved is
1870.
In the complaint it is set up that
Rickter, the plaintiff, deposited with A.
J. Cummings the sum stated, which
Cummings is charged with having ap-
propriated to his own use. The deal
is said to have been made at Great
Falls, Mont, where A. J. Cummings
has a branch office, which was SUISSE
quently conducted as the Western
Grain & Stock exchange, which change
Of name SO the complaint charges, was
for the purpose of defrauding deposit
tors and other creditors.
An illustration of Cummings meth
dds is given in the case of George E.
De Neen, OF Cumberland, Md, who
came from Maryland several months
ago to file a case against him invoIv-
ing about $4,000. That case was filed
in the United States circuit court at
st. Paul. De Neen desired to buy
Cummins, but subsequently found that
Cummings did not execute the stock
purchased at all, but kept all the de-
posits.
Operated in the East.
Cummings also went to Buffalo, N.
Y, and Detroit, Mich, and opened a
brokerage business under the name of
F. L. Camp & Co., with similar re-
suits in both of these places, and one
H. H. Hartsock mas commenced suit
for $3.50, making the charge of en-
bezzlement made in the De Neen case
Mr.. Hartsock also represents claims
for other persons ranging from $500 to
81, 0OO All of these cases are pending
in the United States court in st. Paul.
After this record Mr.. Cummings
went to Great Falls, Butte, and Helena,
Mont, and it was at the Great Falls
office that the transaction recited by
Rickter is said to nave occurred. Mr..
Rickters representatives have been
trying to locate funds Of Mr.. Cum
mings in banks, but have been unable
to do so. and garnishment proceedings
have been commenced against mis- To-
cal representative. 1t seems that all
funds are kept in the hands of his To-
cal managers to avoid trouble. Recent
