SEA ISLAND COTTON. 1.
Revival of Its Planting in the wes
 EuAg&a

Revival of Its Planting in the West
 Indies.
 New York Special to N. O. Times
 Democrat.
 The Imperial Commissioner of Ag- riculture for the British West Indies. Sir Manuel Morris, recently stated In Londoonn that the total production Of Sea Island Cotton grown in the West Indies, from ail sources during the last ten years, averaged 90.000 bales of 400 pounds each, or about 3s,000.000 pounds annually. The value would be about 2250.00o pounds sterling. Sta tisticions of the New York Cotton Ex- About 100 years ago the West Indies produced nearly all the cotton used in this country. Later cotton grow ing was discarded in favor of sugar planting and other crops yielding larger profits Sugar now has not been so profitable, hence the necessity for subsidiary industries.
 The recent revival of cotton plant ing was one of the results of the val uable services rendered to the West Indies by the Imperial Department of Agriculture. Sea Island cotton was selected because the plant yielding it was formerly a native of the West In- dies; hence it was peculiarly adapted to the conditions existing there. In 1903 the Imperial commissioner, Whle on a. visit to the United States. ob- tained $2.50o of cotton seed from hne of the best estates in the Sea Islands. and thus was laid the foundation of an important industry in the West In- dies.
 As showing the steady growth of cotton planting in this part of the world. 1t was stated that in 1902 the value of the lint and seed was just under. 5o,0Oo; in 1908 it was nearly S6o.o00; in 1904. nearly $f20ooo. and In 1905 over $35o,0oo. The returns for the year 1906 are not yet com pleted. but the value of the lint and seed produced during the quarter | ended March 31 was nearly s215. 900. or two-thirds of that for the year 1905. The total value of the industry l to date might therefore be placed at nearly $850.000. The best sorts of Sea l Island cotton are used for making Brussels, lace, frilIing and other del- icate fabrics. Hitherto the available supply of tn ebest qualities of this cotton have been obtained from the is- lands off the coast of South Carolina.

OibP0eNh"
 The immense original investment value of warships which the British government has condemned as unfit for active service has attracted some attention in this country But we have 1t fixed in our minds by examples nearer home that not only are our warships extremely costly In the first place but they are very short lived. The gun boat Bancroft. just arrived, IS the third ship of the new navy" to be declared unfit for active service, the cruiser Philadelphia and the bat tleship Texas having preceded her. The oldest of these vessels was seven teen years old. the newest thirteen. Their cost to build aggregated nearly S5, COG, 900, and they are well on their way to the junkyard. It is observed that the rate of mortality in merchant steamers Is not so rapid. Ocean grey. hounds put in service in 1885 are still plying between New York and Liver pool

As was the case at previous conferences. the f.o. b. charges which Southern trunk iines combine in their rate to the gulf, was the stumbling block and their refusal to cease the absorption of this charge of IS cents hundred for placing the grain on board ship was the primary reason for a successful solutiou of the question Another conference will be held next week.
