OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
BY H. W. FINLAYSOE.

Cotton is as interesting a sub
ject as your correspondent can
write about just now. The sud,
den drop in prices has been as
unexpected to Wall Street as it
has to the South. CONSERVATION
reigns in the camp. The people
the speculators-the manipula-
tors-the papers, all are discus

one authority puts it, cotton is
now the basis of the dominent
industry of the worlds.
In their primary forms, iron
and steel products, represent a
value OF only 81, z00,0 900, 900.
yearly, while the annual output
of cotton goods is $1,000, 100000.
Twice as much cotton as wool is
produced. Three-fourths of the
worlds supply of cotton is pro-
duced in the South. Only few
months back 20 cents cotton was
predicted, never again was 10
cents feared; down to 61-2, there
is reason for astonishment.
The crop of 1898 was 11.199,
994 bales; that of 1899 was H.
274, $40 bales; 1900 the crop was
9,2O1, ,OO6 bales, a drop of 2, 1000,
900. It was then the market
scared and Sully was in the ring,
the shortage and Sully did the
work. The market is always SEN
sitive. Sully is the need of the
farmers. Instead of burning p
100000 bales, assess these bales

sible, strong, nervy, put these
dollars in his hands instead of
the bales in the fre-and the
rest will be easy. Cotton needs
a head. Just as Pierpont Nor

could manage the cotton interest
and care for the producers. AS
The Sun says, ''no business rea-

the Auditor and Treasurer's dupli-
