EGYPTIAN COTTON GROP
European Gold Required for Move
ment Can NOT Be Estimated.

New York, Oct. 3-The Wall Street
Journal says: The amount of European
gold required for the movemcnt1of the
Egyptian cotton crop can not be esli-
mated with any degree of precision
from the study of. previous years. es-
pecially since, September 1904, on ac-
count Of the suppression at that time
0 fthe Caissc De La Dette, the enor-
nous extension OF banking facilities,
the mixed indebtedness of European
land companies and the collapse of
credit, prolonged during the last three
years.
The estimated value Of the present
crop fluctuates With American prices
and may reach $f25 100000. A part Of
this will be paid by Japan, Russia and
the United States. These countries,
however, will presumably settle their
balances by geld, sent chiefly from the
Ealt Of England

This was a noteworthy season, be-
cause gold imports commenced in Au-

THE COTTON CROP
Report of the Iimcs-Democrat for the
Month Of September.

lmcs-Democrat, Oct. 4: The Times
Democrat herewith presents its corre-
spondents' reports on the cotton crop
for the month of September. The CON
gCcnsus of opinion is to the following
effect:
j Taking the belt as a whole, there has
2becn no marked change The change, il
any, has been toward further deteriora-
,tion
! The storm of September 20 did great
damage i'll the districts which came
within its sweep.
Picking has made rapid progress and
there is generally an abundance of labor
tor this purpose.
j. Farmers seem disposed to sell at
current prices, at least enough to pay
their debts, but considerable part of
the crop is likely to be held for an adj
vance later on.
The boil weevil has wrought havoc
in certain sections, but the intense heat
minimized the loss from this pest.
The next report will be printed in the
.issue Of Monday, November 20. The
usual quantitative forecast by States
will then be given.

raw cotton, and unless there is. a de
cided drop i'll the price Of the staple III
less than two weeks, according to Pres
ident S. B. Tanner of the American
Cotton Manufacturers Association, the
southern mills will be forced to shut
down.
1T is a very hard question to an
swer, said Mr. Tanner, "as to what
the mills, both cloth and yarn, will do
in the event of I3c cotton continuing as
at present
1T will mean that there will be no
money in textile products and the mills
after using up what small stocks they
have on hand will have to shut down.
that is if cloth and yarn, and especially
the former, does not take a decided
jump upwards, bigger Jump than cot
ton manufacturers would expect under
the circumstances.
President Parker of the American
cotton Mills Association, has called a
meeting of the board of governors for
Friday, October 8, in Charlotte to con
slider the question of curtailment of pro-
duction in order to make the present
stocks Of the mills go as far as possible
and TO operate on high priced cotton at
as little loss as possible. The govern
ors will also select the place for the
next meeting of the association.

that southern cotton mills are confront

THE SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS

THE SOUTHERN Col ION MILLS.
1t may be regretted that the managers
of the Southern cotton mills failed to
avail themselves Of the opportunity of
buying cotton when the price was low,
or had not advanced to I3 cents. From
Charlotte, N c., and from New Or
leans come the statement that the mills
must close as they can not be operated
at a profit with cotton selling at I3
cents. 1t is a pity the Southern mill
men did not display the foresight of the
managers of the New England mills
who have kept at hand a supply as the
price advanced. We do not think this
threat to close the mills should be taken
seriously If the closing is due to cot
ton being sold at r3 cents, it is prob
able that those mills must remain in
active for many months, if not indehn
itely. To close the mills would be a
discredit to business foresight and t.
good management. Will not high priced
cotton lead to the enhancement of til
price of cotton fabrics Is not ths

some extent at least, by the supply a.

TAT POSITION
on PROTECTION.
Tells Delegation Of Republicans
He Favors Protection
Where Needed.
HE WANTS THE RIGHT THING.
Where Duty No Longer Necessary,
Is for Greatly Reducing it or
Removing it Altogether

4 Washington, July 16.--The White
House was storned today by u delega-
ton Of 90 Republican congressman who
spent an hour and a half with the
president telling him that their poltt-
sical lives depended on the protection of
raw material. 1t has become pretty
general knowledge about the Capitol
that the president fayors the free en-
try of hides, oil and coal and material
reductions in lumber, etc,
Many of the congressman who COM
posed the delegation represent southern
districts. They told the president they
had been elected OH the theory that
they would protect raw materials in
which their people We're interested and
that il the party failed to do this, their
districts would return to the Demo-
cratic column. {;
f Mr., Taft listened patiently to all that
was said He chaffed the congressman
good-naturedly at times. Representa-
tive Hayes Of California made a speech
I'M favor of protecting iron ore. for In
stance, but the president said he sus-
.pccted Mr. Hayes of being chiefly in
in lemons.
When tho discussion was over tile
president stated his position.
3 He said he favored protection where
protection was necessary and that
where protection no longer was needed
he was in favor either of greatly reduc-
ing the duty OF removing It altogether..
ut is merely a question of facts,
the president said to the congressman.
and In the light of facts we all want
to try to do the right thing.
MI. Langley of Kentucky put the
matter squarely up to the president as
a question Of political expediency.
I'VE come from Democratic states.
some of u.s. said Mi. Langley, but
we are elected as Republicans who
terials and if we fail to protect our
constituents we will be revised down
ward'---into private. life"
President Taft remarked dryly that
he was as much interested in Repub-
.lican success as any one could be.
