NEW ORLEANS COTTON.


 New Orleans Oct 2--Spot cotton was steady, middlng 15-16c The revision committee Feadjusted quotations, advancing ordinary and low middling 1-16c while ali other grades were made 1-16c lower. Sales were 9bo bales on the spot and 1.S0s to arrive.
 Cotton futures opened steady five to sew en points over last night The effect of the ginners and condition reports was at first bullish and later the cause of mark ed decline. When the ginners report came in prices advanced until the active months were four to six points above the opening figures Expectation of a larger amount ginned than the report showed caused this advance Later the condition report. show ing the crop to be ahead Of the ten year average. had no mediate effect on prices. reconsideration of the significance of the ginners report and the influence of tine condition report, finally sent prices sixteen points below the highest for the day in the active months There was some improve ment before the closing. but trading was not active The closing was steady, un- changed to three points under last night.

 From the middle Of the month. at the uttermost. on to the presidential cleo ton, things will slowly improve. cotton surely reaching ten cents by the end of october. and after the November elec- tion eleven or twelve cents may be reasonably looked for. But he shook his head at a suggestion of a price above twelve cents. and said:
 The country does not recover from a panic that rapidly. and although the price has been low for twelve months. high cotton is not to be looked for this season.

certainty be attended by complete failure, because to gauge crop prospects by what the Fields present at the present time cam hot put De misleading, because much has already been picked.
 The month of September has been most perfect for picking cotton. There has been more cotton picked in September than in previous seasons up to the goth of Octo- Der. There has been more cotton ginned in September this year than in any Sep- tember within our recollection When the crop did mature, 1t matured all at once. The reason for this is that this years crop in Alabama, the Atlantic States, and Mis- so insignificant. (and is admitted by eve rybody to be so) that 1t is estimated that If We should have a frost tomorrow, that in the states named above the damage to the yield would not be over 200, 900 and prob ably less than lso.00 bales.
 .i Favorable open fall weather fin connec- tiog with an early crop, as a usual thing adds to the yield. and it does this season. inasmuch as every lock of cotton will bs taken care of and gatehred in good condi- amount Of top crop. Our present idea Is that the Carolinas will probably make 2 to 12 per cent less than last season. Geor- gia, to 10 per cent. less. and Alabama ana Mississippi. taken together. will proba- ply make fully as much as they did last season. The West, with its frequent bene- fcial rains, is an unknown quantity: and to 1t we must look as the barometer if we want to judge the final yield 4 bump CT crop is reported from Texas.
 Spot demand for the major part of Sep- teTnber has been very good in fact, equal to the supply During the late days of September. however, there was a distinct falling off in the demand. and considera- ble increase in the supply. and the spot markets throughout the South were helpless and dropping. Whilst a great many man ufacturers have resumed full time, in tho United States. they find no profit in man. ufacturfng goods and consequently are buy ing from hand to mouth The shut down at Manchester is helping to demorallze the spot market. and notwithstanding the hold ing tendency In the South, the supply. we fear, will be greater than the demand for some time to come. The quality of our cotton is excellent and our staple Is un- surpassed.

New Counties are Needed adgden Times Nave ~'

At present there are only tbrae .ec- tions of Alabama which under the Dro. visions of the proposed amendnant would be entitled to form themselves into new counties. and only one of these three has signified it's intention oR doing so. But if the anticipations ok growth in the state are fuldlisd. there may be others in the near future. The formation of new counties mP4ns more court houses and greater convenience to the people who attend the courts. But 1t has larger meaning and one anecting the state as a whole. It means the establishment of more centers of education and culture. and the closer hitting of that community of interest which prevails in localities where the people have their interests centeraHzed. A big county Is an un- wieldly part of civil government and. as converse proposition, the smaller the county. the better the government and administration and easier to plan and carry out Improvements.
 Georgia is a state of small counties and her experience Is all in their favor. Tn Alabama 1t would mean more high schools. more newspapers. an increase Tn taxable values. better roads and numerous other advantages. The pro- posed law amply protects the old ccun: ties and allows no new one Io be formed except where conditions justify tt
