Cotton manufacturers imported into
the United States In the year which
ends with next month will exceed
$75.000.00 600 in value and materially ex-
coed the value of such manufactures
imported in any earlier year. In the
nine months ending with September,
1907. the total value of cotton manu-
features imported was. as shown by
the figures of the bureau of statistics
of the Department Of Commerce and
Labor. in round terms, $4,000. 900,
against sci 100000 in the same months
of 1906, s39,O00.OOo in the correspond
ing months of 1905. and $s5,000.000 In
the corresponding months of 1904; and
should the importations of this class
of merchandise during the remaining
three months of the calendar year
average as high as in the nine months
for which record Is already made,
the total would approximate $SO,000,-
900, and 1t seems almost certain to ex-
coed s75,OO0,OOO.
Despite the fact that the United
States produces three-fourths OF the
worlds cotton; has a larger number
of spindles than any other country ex-
cept the United Kingdom, has invested

TACT. he believed that many invest
ments have been made in real estate
both improved and uni1nproved, as a
direct outcome of the state of the
market. Real estate appeals to many
people as solid investment, and more
calculated to stand steady during the
uncertainty of speculative values:
therefore. there have been a number
of transactions that have come on the
market because of the safe and con-
sentative state of Richmond's real es-
tate situation, both as to city and SUI

JUNE MORE FREAKIsH THAN MAY
Prosnosticst or Hicks Says it Will be a
Very Stormy Month.

The first storm period will extend
from the End to the 7th, beginning with
marked rise of temperature and falling
barometer and eliminating in severe
thunderstorms, cloudburst, hail and
possible tOrnadoes.
There is another storm period on the
9th, 10th and 18th; excessive warmth,
extreme humidity and violent thunder
and wind storms will characterize this
period, according to Hicks.
From the 18th to the 18th will be one
of the most decisive turmoil seasons
of the whole month, low barometer,
humidity and excessive heat will be
followed by violent and dangerous
lightning storms in which the destruc-
tive winds will reverse all their usual
directions and blow from anywhere to
everywhere.
The next storms will occur about the
22nd and resemble those just mentioned
excepting that there will be local raj n
daluges in widely separated section s
and wind worthless of great destructive
ness.
The last of the June storms VIII occur
about the 9th, during which there will
be heavy rains, wind and thunder daily
for three or four days. Taking June
right through, Hicks says there are TO
be unusual volcanic disturbances,
earthquakes, sun spots aurorai displays
and all sorts of freakish magnetic earth
currents that sailors especially had
better pay attention to.
