In reply to many inquiries receiv- ing in regard to the forthcoming ginners' report I beg to say that my forecast will probably not be completed until Wednes- day evening and will then be communicat- ed onlysto the ginners whose returns have made It's compilation possible
 Generally speaking and without reference to the partial returns thus far received I may say that 1t hardly seems practicable to reconcile the expectation of a crop of as much as 1I,750,000 bales with total gin ming up to the 18th of October of less than syerawe sVDsv' opinion of the trade seems to have crystaiized. in fact. a canvass of that opinion on the New York Cotton Exchange revealed an average expectation of 4.9G0.- 900 with 5.2o0.000 the highest and 4,575,000 the lowest figure for the past four years the figures are as follows:

 From the above 1t appears that the aver 18th of October has been 46. 6 on which basis total ginning of 5.0oooO0 bales this year would indicate crop of lO.7@9, GOO. While many lay stress on the lateness of the small ginning figures thus far reported. it is well to bear in mind tha in the state of Texas. which is mainly relied upon to furnish the Hons share of the yield, tiiis year. the crop is exceptionally early, more cotton having been ginped there prior to September 1st than in any year of which the census furnishes record. Bearing this fact in mind, therefore l am personally inclined to believe that it is safe to assume that the forthcoming report. whatever fl may be will show an amount ginned up tc the 18th of October that Is about 42 Del cent of the total crop. tt Is also well tf bear in mind, in making comparisons witt last year that the total crop ginned wa! only l0,575, ,000. and that the difference he- tween this figure and that of the conner cial crop was a carry from the previous season upon which We cannot reckon thii years. - na,c,, (SiGnsG THEODORE D.

She is a pretty young Japanese and

Her father was in American clothes
and was also well dressed and a SINH

that he is the attraction which drew the
young lady away from her Hawaii
home. The proceedings all came to an

until yesterday at noon. The pro-
ce, ding was entitled "in the circuit

said that the Supreme Court had taken
away the powers of circuit courts to
issue habeas corpus writs. He thought
the Supreme Court was wrong in thus
taking away the constitutional power
of a court, but it had done it, r. w.
BreckOns said that the writ had been
issued, not by the court, but by Judge
Lindsay as presiding judge at cham

the proceeding, on account of the de

Gear was leaving the court with the

Sims objected. He wanted it return

1t sort of looks like the banking fra

their late cOnfrere John r. Walsh.
When his banks, the Chicago National
and some others, failed, a short time
ago, the clearing house banks guaran-
teed his liabilities in order to prevent a
panic. 1t was thought then that with
careful handling his assets might meet
his liabilities 1t has been found since
that the other banks have let them
selves in for ten or twelve millions,
and now the cable says that Walsh has
been arrested for violating the bank
ing law. No wonder the bankers are
sore. .....
