the COTTON CaOP AAD M fuvNCM
SITUATION.

N NE T.ErNEE
One Of the most annoying features
OF the existing financial furry is the
handicap it places on the successful
marketing Of this years cotton crop.
AS is well known farmers have been
holding back as much Of their crops
as possible in the hope Of ultimately
securing l5c for their cotton or a
figure in that neighborhood. Their
confidence in high prices was based,
firstly, upon the belief that they had
only a moderate crop in point OF
size 10 deal with, while on the other
hand all indications pointed to an
even greater worlds consumption Of
raw cotton than ever before. In the
second place they expected that the
anti-option laws passed by SO many
of the Cotton States would operate
so as to give the farmers greater
power in debating the price Of their
cotton than ever before.
That the expectation of a big cor.
sumption was warranted is shown
by the estimate of Mr.. Ellison, the
wellknown English statistician, who
holds that in order to keep mill
stocks at their present figure a sup
ply Of at least l2,500,0N bales of
American cotton will be required.
The farmers confidence in the anti
option legislation was based upon
the idea that bear speculation would
be prevented.
The first disappointment the far
mers met was the discovery that the
anti-option laws operated so as to
remove the control Of the cotton
market from the Southern cotton
centers like new Orleans to buying
markets like New York and Liver.
pool. All Southern speculation has
been, as a rule, bull speculation,
having every possible tendency to
raise prices. On the other hand the
natural bent Of speculation in New
Yolk and Liverpool is bear specula-
ton; that is, to bring prices down
to a good buying parity for the
spinners. The anti.option legisla-
ton, therefore, has had the very OPP
posite effect from that expected.
In spite of the handicap of unfortu.
nate laws, it is possible that the far
mers may have been able to hold up
the price of cotton much better than
they have had it not been for the
financial complications, Tight
money has been an embarrassing
factor all season, but recently the
situation has become such that it
has grown almost impossible to Sc
cure advances on cotton or any other
commodity. The spinners have not
been slow to take advantage of the
situation. What the ultimate out
come will be will depend largely on
the rapidity with which the financial
equilibrium is restored. Cotton has
probably stood the strain better than
other commodities, and the South
has shown powers of resistance and
self support which are most crafty

FOR
THE INAUGURATION

Preparations are being made for
the Inauguration ceremonies. The
details have not yet been announced
and are not yet all worked out
though Viceroy Carter and the COM
ing Governor, Chief Justice Frear,
have been in conference several
times on the subject.
Carters farewell address, upon
which he is now working, will, it is
understood, take up about Is min
utes. How long Judge Frear will
speak he says that he does not know
yet, but he intends to make the ad-
dress as short as possible.
At the conclusion of Carter's ad-
dress, which will be the last official
act of his administration, he will
turn over the Office to the new Gov
ernor, who will be sworn in and will
deliver his inaugural speech.
The Inauguration of the new Gov
ernor will be preceded by the cere-
monies in the Supreme Court room,
when A. S. Hartwell will be installed
as Chief Justice in place of Frear,
who will turn over the Office to him.
The ceremonies will probably be
brief. The Bar Association will pre-
sent resolutions of respect for the
outgoing Chief Justice and there
will be some speech making.

Strange String Tied
By Commission
To Kauai Licenses
MUST AGREE NOT TO SOLICIT TRADE

While scme of the liquor dealers on
this Islacl may think that they have
a kick cc.aiAg on account of the treat
ment they have received at the hands
! of the Liquor License Commission,
they are not nearly as badly off as tho
liquor dealers OF Kauai. On the Gar
lden Island no retail liquor licenses
have been granted, and of the whole
Isalers the Koloa Wine Co. was denied
la license. 1t is believed that the re-
rusal was made because this company
is controlled by c. w. Spitz. who had
already been granted two licenses in
other parts of the Island.
In the meantime those companies
who secured licenses did not do so
without having very conspicuous
string tied to them which detracts
considerably from their desirability.
The Liquor Commission has made ev-
cry one of the licensees sign an agree
ment according to the terms of which
they bind themselves to sell liquor
only to such persons who come to
their places of business and ask for it.
but they will not solicit anyone to buy
liquor and will not send about any
Idrummers to scare up trade.
This report was brought here from
Kauai this morning and was the sub
ject of considerable comment among
the local liquor dealers. The opinion
was generally expressed that the
agreements were not worth the paper
they were written ON, as they could
not be binding In law, but on the other
hand the Liquor Commission has such
unlimited powers that it would be
able to make it very uncomfortable for

Is To BE
Appointed Secretary
WILL BE RECOMMENDED BY FREAR

Ernest A. Mott-Smith Of the firm Of
dd-Mott-Smith and Hemenway, will
be the next Secretary of the Territory
to succeed A. H. c. Atkinson.
This announcement Is not official,
but it is authentic. The reason that
no official announcement of the fact
can be made at present is that Atkin-
son is still Secretary and has not yet
resigned. Consequently no vacancy as
yet exists.
The only thing which would be at
all liable to prevent the Attorney from
assuming the duties of the position
under Frear would be the refusal OF
President Roosevelt to act. on the rec
Dmmendation of Mr.. F'rear. Frear
has not yet recommended Mr. Mott
Smith for the position, but that he
will do so there is no doubt.
When asked about the matter this
morning, Judge Frear was inclined to
be reticent. There is not much that
| eau say at present. he stated. "No
vacancy exists as yet and | do not
know that Mr. Atkinson will resign.
