THE COTTON MARKET.

The census ginners' report OF the
number OF bales Of cotton ginned %
Dec. 10, while not quite as large as
estimated, nevertheless showed an in
crease of 2,60S,OOO over same time
last season and prices in the contract
market sagged.
II must be understood, however, that
while the increase as compared with
last year Is large, and the ginning
after this date in 1907 totaled 2,0OO,-
900 bales nothing of the sort can oc-
cur this year, because practically all
the staple of this seasons growth has
been ginned. The crop now mar
keting is the fastest handled in the
ertire history of the cotton trade
Good weather has generally prevailed
during the picking season, and the
crop has been rushed.
The report shows ginnings OF IL
$4,000 VS.. 9,2S4,000 same date last
year. 1t was generally expected the
figures would be 100000 bales.
The Liverpool market opened IL
points up, and closed IL down
with spot sales of only 5000 bales
The decline came after the announce
ment of the ginners' report from
Washington.
The American markets opened two
points up hut closed fiva points lover
than Saturday.
While bumper crop is conceded,
there is hoTe for higher prices IN The
fact that interior offerings are DO
creasing, and a perpendicular drop is
expected in port receipts after the
holidays.
Our own little market is standing
up well under adverse conditions, and

The merchants of Bryan are max

Tremendous stocks and low prices are
necessary to do this but the business

A slight change in the time schedule
of the !. & G. ~ has been made. Not
a great change, but just enough to
make q man miss his train unless he
should be advised. Train Is, south
bound leaves Bryan at All p. m. in
stead of Ala (and these trains are
always on time, by the way,) and
train IA, north bound. leaves at 1858
instead of 1854 as formerly.
Holiday shoppers in surrounding
counties should make IL point to in
vestigate. the prices and the assert
ment of Bryan merchants before pur.
chasing elsewhere. Bryan has the
same freight rates as apply to the lar
gest cities in the state, and the mer-
chants here give their patrons the ad.
vantage which they enjoy in this re-
spect. The result is, that as Mr.
Leach remarked, Bryan merchants
carry stocks of goods he would not
expect to find in the cities of less
than $4,000 inhabitants. And what is
better, the people this section re
alize it also and are coming from
forty miles away to trade.
The goods and the prices are offered
by Bryans progressive merchants. 1t
is useless to wait until the last min
ute to trade. or go elsewhere to make
purchases. There is not city in
Texas with three times the population
of Bryan that carries the immense
stocks which Bryan merchants show.
AS trading point Bryan is the best
in central Texas.

OF JUSTICE ABROAD.

A recently published report OF the
criminal statistics for an English year
indicates that there has been n notable
relative decrease In crime during the
last half century. The year 1906 saw
practically the same number IF thefts
and crimes of violence as was recorded
FOR 1857. Between the two dates the
population of the country has grown
from 100000 TO 34,OOOOOO. Making
comparisons, IL appears that crime has
decreased about 10 per cent. Ii Is a
pity that so much cannot be said for
this country, where there Is a frightful
Increase of some forms OF crime. Just
why there should be such a state OF
things Is matter for the soclologists.
The Improvement In the facilities for
education is mentioned as one reason
for the steady decrease in crime. Eng
llshmen never have been so given 10

people OF the southern European states
for instance. In other respects, too
they seem 10 be becoming more law
abiding. as the years go by. Fairy
homogeneous In race, they do not have
the problem which the United States
has 10 face. The report mentioned EN-
phaslzes another point often noted In
study OF English criminal statistics.
