100 MILES AN HOUR MAY COTTON AT 1850
THE OFFICIAL CROP ESTIMATE
Is 1O,O88, 900 BALES.
Smallest Since 10O3-Famine Posi-
BILE to Cotton Mills-Speculators
Made Large Profits.

Memphis, Tenn.-With an estimate on
the total growth this season of 1O,OS0,
900 bales of 500 pounds gross weight,
the United States department of agri-
culture brought to a sensational close its
activities in gathering information on
cotton for the year. Within two minutes
following its publication the May option
in New York sold at 1880 cents, and the
price of middIing cotton, for the first
time in five years., was put to Is IA
cents in Memphis Friday.
This, briefly, is the story of the day.
Incidentally every bullish claim made
from June to December vas justified and
Endorsed, and the cotton consuming
world now has brought home to them
the realization that in spite of a pro-
duction of IA, 900 bales in a favor
able year, a crop of 100000 bales un-
der adverse conditions is possible. What
a crop SO small means in the way of
prices only demand in the open market
can determine.
Sixteen cents is already so nearly a
reality that it no longer appears absurd,
while there are those who predict 10
cents. For the immediate future the
spots markets will be the arena of in
terest. Futures may advance, but the
level of values will, in the end, be de-
termined by the price which the mills
of the world can afford to pay for raw
cotton. Speculation on the point is idle,
but one thing is certain, and that is that
pcurtailment in all mills is inevitable, and
that a complete shutdown to many will
result, hence the news items of the flu
ture may be, to some extent, antici-
pated. Consumption last year was 49,
1OO,o 900 bales, according to Hester Of
New Orleans, while the government says
that this season production has been but
10, Oes. 900 bales, and it has the most
elaborate system for gathering Informal

JUDGE LURTON NOMINATED
Tennessee Jurist Will Sit Upon the
Supreme Bench.

Observation-Disclosures Taft Monday
sent to the senate the nomination OF
Judge Horace H. Lurton of Tennessee to
be associate justice of the supreme court.
President Taft has removed the op'
position that existed to Judge Lurton's
appointment. Democratic leaders say
the Democrats without exception will
support Judge Lurton. What opposl-
ton remained against Lurton among Re
publicans because of recent decisions on
corporation cases has been smoothed
over, and the confirmation will be made
unanimous.
One of the reasons that prompted
President Taft in appointing Judge Lur-
ton. and that will cause his welcome by
the supreme court, is Judge Lurton's
familiarity with many of the cases that
are now before the supreme court or are
soon to come. 1t is believed that Judge
Lurton can take upon himself without
delay his share of the work before the
court and dispatch it. A younger judge,
or one less experienced in the circuit
courts, would require a "breaking in" to
the work, forms and customs of the SUI
nreme bench.
