Mrs. W. r. Prophet, one of Sidon's

miration Of the whole community and
those who knew her will not forget her.
Her life implanted in the hearts Of her
friends shall move them ON to noble
deeds, and, AZ Tennyson felt for Ar
thur Hallam, 50 perhaps many shall say
Of her: II feel her being working in
my own, the footsteps Of her life in
mine" In her homo, when her loved
ones strove each for the Others sake to
bear the grief that weighs 50 heavily,
the depth of her loss will be hard to
fathom.

WHY COTTON IS
MUCH HIGHER.
On Account OF l4ht Yield Caused BY
Bad Weather Conditions.

In the first six weeks of the season
the South has marketed 100000 bales
Of cotton at prices generally above 13
cents. It's total value has been approx
imately $165, ZOO, 900, exclusive of the
seed, which, like the lint, are command
ing the highest prices in many years.
The effect Of the turning loose of this
large amount of money is already felt
in trade, which is becoming daily moro
active.
For years it has been the rule that
free selling by the South brought lower
values. This season the market has
worked gradually higher from the very
inception Of the movement of new cot
ton, and in spite of the fact that re-
ceipts were in excess of last season,
when the crop was the largest ever
grown, and today spot prices in the
Memphis market and elsewhere at the
South are the highest since the men,
orable Sully campaign of 1908. But the
comparison with 1908 is not complete,
because then the highest prices were
reached after the crop had in most part
gone from the growers hands.
Two causes have operated this year
to break the rule. The first one is bet
ter knowledge of the crop. Each year
the governments system of reporting
has been perfected and added to. The
same is true of tho work undertaken by
self-interested corporations, while the
newspaper reports were never so full
and complete as they are now. The
world, therefore, knows in advance that
the yield is light. They do not ne ed
to wait until the movement falls away
to meager proportions to be assured
that the supply is small.
The second factor is speculation. The
one and almost the sole purpose of the
speculator is to anticipa te, and this sea-
son in anticipating production below
the worlds needs he has played big
part in forcing prices up to the present
level, and still an important part in
keeping them there in the face of the
heaviest receipts ever known for the
time Of year. The American nation is
nation of optimists, and where one
man sells expecting decline in prices
or slowing down in trade and COM
merce, there are three willing to buy,
expecting an expansion in business and
