CROPS AND PRICES
The Demand Dictates and Mills Forced
to Pay Exorbitant Prices.

Boston Advertiser: President Barrett
of the Farmers Union errs sadly if he
sincerely believes in his own argument
for holding cotton for much higher
price. He forcsees great profits for the
farmers in the assurance of soaring
prices; he says the farmers, with a short
scrop and rising prices, were never be-
fore in so good a position to hold on to
a large proportion of their cotton, and
the threat of curtailed production by
the cotton mills does not alarm him.
Yet it is certain that the ultimate result
of the situation now shaping itself will
be disastrous for the greater portion of
the farmers; only those few in an ex-
ceptional position and who can profit
from the calamity which strikes the
many, are likely to reap substantial re-
word. The higher priced cotton will
surely result III curtailment of the mills
output, for obvious reasons, and there
will follow the twin misfortrlnes of loss
of employment and an excessive price
for cotton cloth, with a consequently les
sened demand as the price for this cloth
reaches the limit beyond which it will
not be bought The reaction must affect
the price of raw cotton, when the rise
in the price will not only stop, but will
turn to a falling backwards, in all prob
ability. Curtailment of production fol-
lows logically and inevitably upon the
heels of a short crop and boosted prices
for raw cotton. This curtailment is not
to be restricted to this country, and it
is reasonable to expect that this curtall-
ment, furthermore, will be directed by
some measure of agreement rather than
by haphazard individual action through
out the manufacturing industry Such
concerted action by the mill men is the
fair answer to concerted action by the
cotton growers. Consumption of raw
cotton by the mills must be in accord
| with prospective consumption of the
cotton cloth by the public The demand
dictates, and the mills, forced to pay ex-
| orbitant prices for raw cotton, have not
the last word The consumer of the fin
ished product is the decisive, if not ths
deciding factor in this adjustment
There is limit to the price to this uti-
mate consumer beyond which he will
not go; boost the prices beyond his limit
and his consumption ceases, or is SO ap
preeiably diminished as to affect decis
lively the mills production. This force
the burden back upon the farmer who
has been forcing the price of raw cotton
and in the inevitable reaction he will b.
the chief sufferer

WEATHER AND CROPS
It Is Now Generally Believed that the
Supply of Cotton Will Hardly Be
Enough to Go Around.

New Orleans Picayune Oct. 49,: The
past week has developed some rather
unreasonable. weather in the cotton belt.
The temperature has been rather low
over a large portion of the cotton sec
ton and in a number of places in the
more northerly portions rather severe
frosts for this early date has undoubt-
edIy damaged such prospect as may lave
existed for top crop, still further
diminishing the yield of the present very
abnormal season.
In addition to the cold weather, a por-
ton of the belt where the crops were
supposed to be most promising, was Wis
tied by a severe storm during the week,
accompanied by hail, which can not have
failed to do more or less injury Ne
great amount of rain has fallen in any
portion of the belt, and the weather has
been generally favorable for picking and
marketing the crop Producers havt
sold freely at the satisfactory range Of
prices which have prevailed, and as z
result the crop is moving to market al
an unprecedented rate.
As a result of the recent Developments
there is more inclination than ever t.
believe in the smaller crop estimate:
which have been current. 1t is now gen
orally believed that no matter how mucf
spinners may cut down their output, tn
supply will hardly be enough to g.
round, and that consequently prices, de
sp;.e temporary reactions, viii steadil.
advance as the season progresses.
The reports from the corn yield in th
South are generally favorable, the har
vest showing that even if the expecta
tions of the more sanguine have not beel
entirely realized, much larger GRO
than conmon'has been secured. This
especially satisfactory to sections wher
owing to boil weevil ravages or .othe
causes the cotton yield has been small

& A. WILL RUN FIRST TRAIN
NOVEMBER SECOND.

Minden Democrat: The Louisiana and
Arkansas is rapidly extending its tracks
to Shreveport, and with a largely in
creased force of workmen expects to be
able to run its first train into the city
the first week of next month. The near
est possible date is placed at Novem-
Der 2.
Work on the line has been retarded
somewhat through the slow arrival Of
certain bridge material, but this has al
ready reached the ground and the new
railroad to Shreveport is being con-
structed as rapidly as possible.
The track layers are now within a
short distance of Shreveport and the
work is being rushed. It is considered a
certainty that the Louisiana and Arkan-
sas will be able to run its first train into
Shreveport during State Fair week.

MOTORMAN'S DUTY
Must Exercise the Greatest Care-Ve-
hicles in Front Must Be Protected.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana at
its session Monday in, New Orleans rem
dered an opinion i'll a case which is all
important, especially in its bearing in
Shreveport. The Supreme Court,
through Justice Nichols, has declared
that the motorman's duty is to exercise
the greatest care and vehicles in his
front must be protected.
By Justice Nichols:
Jacob Weisshaus VS. New Orleans
Railway and Light Company.
Sy1labus-Tt is the duty of a motor
man in charge of an electric car moving
ii up a narrow street to- guard against
running it upon vehicles on the track
directly in front and in full view of him.
He should exercise the. greatest pru-
dence and caution to avoid inficting in
jury. He has the vantage ground over
the parties in front and knowing the ex-
act situation and condition of affairs
ahead of him He would have no right
TO take advantage of even tardy action
on the part of a driver of a wagon in
removing ii from the track, to run into
and crush it. He should use every ex-
ertion to save the situation and enable
the vehicle to be placed in a position Of
safety. The motornan in this case was
greatly at fault The plaintiff was not
in the least degree blan1eable He was
at the time of the accident driving his
covered wagon heavily loaded with char
coal slowly up Laurel stfeet--a narrow
street with a railway track upon it
fp1anked between the rails) and very
little space outside of the rails to the
/ lcurbing of the gutter. The horse was
on the planlls-the wagon itself mostly
upon it 1t was rightfully occupying
the track when one of defendants cars
in charge of a motorman moving at full
speed ran into it without warning from
the rear, breaking the wagon and pain
fully injuring the plaintiff. The wagon
did not go upon the track just before
the car reached the spot, suddenly and
too late for the motornan to stop the
car It was partly on the track all the
while Judgment affirmed.
